The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed. We may not sell these securities or accept any offer to buy these securities until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and it is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted.

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED OCTOBER 22, 2010

PROSPECTUS

ONCURE HOLDINGS, INC.

OFFER TO EXCHANGE

$210,000,000 principal amount of its 113/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2017
which have been registered under the Securities Act,
for any and all of its outstanding 113/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2017

The Exchange Offer:

    OnCure Holdings, Inc. is offering to exchange all of its outstanding 113/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2017, referred to as the private notes, that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn for an equal principal amount of 113/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2017, referred to as the exchange notes, that are, subject to specified conditions, freely transferable. We refer to the private notes and the exchange notes collectively in this prospectus as the notes.

    The exchange offer expires at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                    , 2010, unless extended. We do not currently intend to extend the expiration date.

    You may withdraw tenders of private notes at any time prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer.

    Neither we nor the guarantors will receive any cash proceeds from the exchange offer.

The Exchange Notes:

    We are offering exchange notes to satisfy certain obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement entered into in connection with the private offering of the private notes.

    The terms of the exchange notes are substantially identical to the private notes, except that the exchange notes will have been registered under the Securities Act and will not be subject to restrictions on transfer under the Securities Act.

    The exchange notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis, by each of our existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries, other than certain immaterial subsidiaries.

    We do not plan to list the exchange notes on a national securities exchange or automated quotation system.

        Investing in the exchange notes involves risks. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 22 of this prospectus.

        Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes as required by applicable securities laws and regulations. The letter of transmittal states that, by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.

        This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of exchange notes received in exchange for private notes where such private notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, after the expiration of the exchange offer, we will make this prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale for such period of time as such broker-dealers must comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in order to resell the exchange notes. See "Plan of Distribution."

        Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved of the notes or determined that this prospectus is accurate or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this prospectus is                        , 2010.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

        Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and the ratios related thereto, as presented in this prospectus, is a supplemental measure of our performance and our ability to service debt that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as measures of our liquidity.

        Our measurement of Adjusted EBITDA and the ratios related thereto may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies and is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA in accordance with the debt covenants of our revolving credit agreement, including certain adjustments which are subject to debt administrator concurrence. We have included information concerning Adjusted EBITDA in this prospectus because we believe that such information is used by certain investors as one measure of a company's historical ability to service debt. We believe this measure is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of high yield issuers, many of which present Adjusted EBITDA when reporting their results. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.

        Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results or cash flows as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

    although depreciation is a non-cash charge, the assets being depreciated will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

    Adjusted EBITDA is adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows;

    other companies in our industry may calculate this measure differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure; and

    we include certain adjustments that may be recurring in nature and may not meet the GAAP definition of infrequent or unusual items, but we believe these items are appropriate to manage the business and for the understanding of the reader.

        Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only for supplemental purposes. Please see our consolidated financial statements contained in this prospectus.

        For a description of how Adjusted EBITDA is calculated and a reconciliation of our Adjusted EBITDA to our net income (loss), see "Summary—Summary Consolidated Financial and Other Data" in this prospectus.

Company Overview

        We are a leading manager of radiation oncology treatment centers for cancer patients. We partner with leading radiation oncology medical groups and their radiation oncologists to offer cancer patients a comprehensive range of radiation oncology treatment alternatives, including most traditional and next generation services. We provide business services to a network of 14 affiliated physician groups that treat cancer patients at our 37 radiation oncology treatment centers, making us one of the largest strategically located networks of radiation oncology service providers. We believe that our unique physician partnership business model, market leadership in targeted geographic regions, leading clinical and technological platforms, strong track record of treatment center operating performance and experienced management team provides us with a significant competitive advantage in the radiation therapy market.

        We are one of the largest companies in the United States focused on partnering with radiation oncology groups through long term management services agreements, or MSAs. Through our MSAs, we manage and administer the non-medical business functions of our treatment centers, such as physician succession planning, technical staff recruiting, marketing, managed care contracting, receivables management and compliance, purchasing, information systems, accounting and human resource management, which allows our physician partners to focus primarily on providing patient care and treatment center growth including expansion of their group's services. We enter into long-term MSAs with established radiation oncology physician groups, which are designed to ensure the physicians' business interests are aligned with our own. We currently partner with 14 affiliated physician groups consisting of approximately 70 physicians, who on average have over 15 years of experience. Our affiliated physician groups and their physicians retain full control over the clinical aspects of patient care in our treatment centers. We believe that we attract and retain leading radiation oncology groups and their physicians largely due to this partnership model, the benefits of scale and our commitment to clinical excellence. By establishing relationships with highly qualified, well-respected radiation oncology groups and their physicians, we believe that we receive ongoing benefits as a result of giving referring physicians, their patients and third party payors a high level of confidence in the clinical capabilities of our groups.

        We have built a provider network focused on targeted geographic regions and have established leading market positions within these regions. Our network of 37 treatment centers is located in 37 markets and includes 15 treatment centers in California, 18 treatment centers in Florida and four treatment centers in Indiana. We believe we hold the top market share in California and second leading market share in Florida.

        We believe these two states are two of the most attractive markets in the United States for cancer treatment providers due to the large and growing senior populations and the high incidence of cancer. Our targeted regional focus allows us to build a leading market presence that enables us to drive

1

efficiencies through economies of scale and fixed cost leverage. In addition, we believe our significant position in local markets creates strong barriers to entry.

        We believe that our treatment centers are equipped with leading clinical and technological platforms, which allows our physician partners to provide cancer patients the highest quality of care through clinically advanced treatment options. The early and continual adoption of cutting-edge technology by our physician partners has enabled rapid sharing of this knowledge and best practices across the network to drive superior clinical results. Early adoption and appropriate utilization of these next generation technologies has resulted in more attractive reimbursement rates for our affiliated physician groups. We believe our clinical and technological platform provides us with a significant competitive advantage in attracting new physician groups and is appealing to referral sources, patients and payors.

        We have built a leading network of radiation oncology treatment centers that has resulted in increased net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth. Since the beginning of 2007, we have acquired 11 new treatment centers. Between fiscal years 2007 to 2009, our net revenue, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below under "—Summary Consolidated Financial and Other Data") have grown at compounded annual growth rates of 11.6%, 65.2% and 14.0%, respectively, through a combination of organic growth and acquisitions. For the year ended December 31, 2009, our net revenue, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA were $106.8 million, $20.1 million and $39.5 million, respectively.

        For the six months ended June 30, 2010, our net revenue, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA were $48.7 million, $2.6 million and $17.0 million, respectively, compared to $55.1 million, $12.0 million and $20.3 million, respectively, for the same period in 2009. The year-over-year decline in net revenue, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA was principally due to a decrease in patient treatments as a result of broad economic factors and the replacement of treatment equipment at two single treatment centers, which caused a temporary closure of one center and reduced utilization at the second treatment center. Due to the geographic location of one of these treatment centers, we were unable to transfer patients from that temporarily closed center to our other treatment centers. One of the two centers returned to normal operations in May 2010 and the other returned to normal operations in August 2010.

        We believe we have one of the most experienced and successful oncology management teams. It has consistently demonstrated an ability to grow through acquisitions and organic growth as well as implement necessary changes to improve operational results.

        We believe that attractive long-term trends in our industry, our unique business model with clinical partners who have long term marketing presence and reputations and our leading market position differentiates us from our competitors and positions us well for continued future growth.

Industry Overview

        According to the American Cancer Society, or ACS, over 19 million cancer cases have been diagnosed in the United States since 1990, with an estimated 1.5 million cases to be diagnosed in 2010. Approximately 77% of all cancer cases are currently being diagnosed in people over the age of 55. As the United States population and, in particular, the baby boomer generation ages, the number of cancer diagnoses are expected to continue to increase. The states in which we operate collectively represented approximately 19% of United States cancer cases in 2009 (California approximately 10%, Florida approximately 7% and Indiana approximately 2%).

        The United States radiation therapy market was estimated to be approximately $8 billion in 2007. The market's growth has been driven by an aging population, which is more likely to develop cancer, along with the development of radiation technologies that are effective in treating a greater range of

2


Table of Contents


cancer diagnoses. The radiation therapy market in the United States is highly fragmented with over 2,200 locations at which radiation therapy is provided. Free-standing radiation oncology treatment centers have grown in prevalence from approximately 400 in 1990 to over 1,000 in 2007. We believe that this growth has been driven by patients' desire to receive radiation oncology treatments, which are typically given daily over a four- to nine-week period, at specialized centers that are convenient and located in their communities. Many of these free-standing treatment centers can benefit from professional management competencies such as physician succession planning, technical staff recruiting, marketing, managed care contracting, receivables management and compliance, purchasing, information systems, accounting and human resource management, and thus look to partner with networks like ours.

        Cancer can be treated using a variety of methods. Although the majority of cancer patients receive radiation therapy, individuals diagnosed with cancer may elect to undergo surgery, chemotherapy and/or biological therapy in conjunction with, or instead of, radiation therapy. Radiation therapy is used to treat nearly two-thirds of all cancer patients in the United States. Radiation therapy is often curative with patients in whom cancer is localized and has not metastasized. Cancer patients are typically referred to a treatment center or radiation oncologist by medical oncologists, breast surgeons, general surgeons, urologists, family practice and internal medicine physicians in addition to other physician specialties and payor sources. Physicians advise patients to choose the type of treatment or combination of treatments based upon the type of cancer, the stage of development and the expected impact on the patients' and their caregivers' quality of life, including potential side effects, family stress and economic consequences.

        Delivery of a beam of radiation at a targeted tumor area is currently the dominant treatment used in radiation oncology. Conventional Beam Treatment is delivered with limited precision and can expose patients to relatively high levels of radiation. The evolution of cancer research and technological advances have produced increasingly effective methods of radiation oncology treatment, including Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy and Image Guided Radiation Therapy, which deliver the necessary doses of radiation in a more targeted manner, thus minimizing the harm to healthy organs and related tissues impacted by the tumor. The advancements in cancer targeting also result in fewer side effects and complications, enhancing a patient's overall quality of life. These technological advances are further supported by payor approval of new cancer indications and diagnoses. We also believe that the discovery and utilization of new, innovative means of radiation therapy delivery and the increased awareness of next generation cancer therapy treatments by physicians and patients will continue to increase the use of radiation therapy for treating many types of cancer.

        We expect future growth in the radiation therapy market to be driven by:

    increasing incidence of cancer associated with the aging of the population;

    advancing deployment and acceptance of radiation equipment technologies that increase the number of treatable cancer patients;

    new and more effective treatment technologies that achieve better patient results with fewer side effects and that have more attractive reimbursement levels;

    increasing physician and patient familiarity with the various cancer treatment options available, thus leading to greater demand for next generation therapies that prevent healthy tissue damage and improve quality of life; and

    continuing payor acceptance of evolving science and treatment technologies in radiation oncology, thereby leading to their approval of reimbursement for additional diagnoses and indications.

Our Services

        Radiation oncology treatments are primarily performed with a linear accelerator, or linac, which uses high-energy photons or electrons to destroy the tumor. Courses of treatment typically last from four to nine weeks. In advance of the actual treatments, a typical patient is provided the following services: (i) the patient is examined, counseled and advised of treatment options by a radiation oncologist; (ii) the agreed upon course of treatment is planned by a physicist under the oncologist's direction; (iii) a trained dosimetrist designs and verifies that the treatment plan's radiation dose and targeting are properly calibrated in the software that controls the linac; (iv) a trained radiation therapy technologist assists the patient to, and positions the patient on, the linac and (v) the technologist verifies the planned dose and beam target before delivering the radiation oncology treatment. Through the use of our treatment centers and equipment, our affiliated physician groups offer a wide array of radiation oncology treatments to cancer patients. The radiation oncologists maintain full control over the provision of medical services at our treatment centers while we manage the non-medical business functions, such as physician succession planning, technical staff recruiting, marketing, managed care contracting, receivables management and compliance, purchasing, information systems, accounting and human resource management. Many of our radiation oncology treatment centers also offer support services designed to enhance the patient experience such as support groups, psychological and nutritional counseling and transportation assistance.

        Each of our treatment centers is designed and equipped to provide a comprehensive array of outpatient programs necessary to treat a cancer patient with radiation therapy. Our treatment centers provide a wide variety of radiation oncology services, including:

    Conventional Beam Therapy, or CBT:  The dominant form of radiation oncology treatment, which results in relatively high radiation exposure with limited precision. CBT enables radiation oncologists to utilize linac machines to direct radiation beams at the tumor location.

    Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy, or IMRT:  Enables radiation oncologists to adjust the intensity of the radiation dose and conform the beam along the entire surface of the tumor. IMRT can also be programmed to angle beams of radiation around normal tissue, thereby sparing healthy organs and reducing side effects.

    Image Guided Radiation Therapy, or IGRT:  Enables radiation oncologists to utilize imaging at the time of treatment to localize tumors and to accurately conform to the contour of a tumor from any angle.

        In addition to the above mentioned therapies, we also offer other advanced services, including:

    Positron Emission Tomography—Computed Tomography, or PET/CT:  Involves the injection of radioactive isotopes into a patient to obtain images of metabolic physiologic processes. The application of PET in the detection of cancer has become significant in the last two years, as it is the first diagnostic procedure that can detect and monitor a patient's metabolic malignancies. PET/CT provides information that is not available with other medical imaging and combines the metabolic cancer cells detection of PET with an anatomical picture of the tumor on a CT.

    High Dose Rate Brachytherapy:  Enables radiation oncologists to treat cancer by internally delivering higher doses of radiation directly to the cancer.

    Simulation, Dosimetry and Three Dimensional Conformal Treatment Planning:  Permits accurate, three-dimensional rendering of the tumor and surrounding normal organs in order to facilitate an efficient treatment plan maximizing radiation exposure of cancerous tissue and minimizing exposure of healthy tissue.

Table of Contents

    Prostate Implantation:  Involves the use of palladium and iodine "seeds" and other radioactive implants (radioactive isotopes) in the treatment of prostate cancer while sparing the nearby organs and structures.

    Stereotactic Radiosurgery, or SRS:  Enables delivery of concentrated, precise, high dose radiation beams to localized tumors. Historically, SRS was used primarily for contained lesions of the brain, but recent advancements in imaging technologies have allowed more types of tumors to be targeted, therefore broadening the use of stereotactic radiosurgery for extra-cranial cancers.

    Cyber Knife:  A SRS device with a linac mounted on a robotic arm. Through the use of image guidance cameras, the cyber knife system locates the position of the tumor. The linac attached to the robotic arm delivers multiple beams of radiation that converge at the tumor site. Thus, the tumor receives a concentrated dose of radiation while minimizing exposure to surrounding normal tissue. With sub-millimeter accuracy, the cyber knife is used to treat vascular abnormalities, tumors and cancers of the body.

Competitive Strengths

        We have developed a broad range of capabilities that we believe provide us with significant competitive advantages, including:

        Unique Physician Partnership Business Model that Aligns Incentives.    We partner with physicians in a managed services model, which we believe is difficult for competitors to emulate. This model has been a key driver of our financial success and serves as a foundation for future growth. We currently partner with 14 affiliated physician groups consisting of approximately 70 physicians, who on average have over 15 years of experience. We enter into long-term agreements with established radiation oncology groups to realize the value of ongoing patient referral streams and managed care relationships. We structure our MSAs to ensure the physicians' business interests are aligned with our own. By establishing relationships with highly qualified, well-respected radiation oncology groups and their physicians, we believe that we receive ongoing benefits as a result of giving referring physicians and their patients a high level of confidence in the capabilities of our affiliated physician groups. We believe that we attract and retain leading radiation oncology groups and their physicians largely due to this partnership model, the benefits of scale and our commitment to clinical excellence. Our affiliated physician groups have a low physician turnover rate. Physicians typically remain with their group until retirement or relocation. Since 2006, we have successfully renewed every MSA that has come to term under substantially similar terms for an additional period of five or more years.

        Leading Clinical and Technological Platform.    We provide the patients of our physician partners with a broad spectrum of radiation therapy alternatives, including many advanced treatment options that are not otherwise available or offered by other providers in our markets. Our treatment centers are equipped with leading clinical and technological platforms, which allow our physician partners to provide cancer patients the highest quality of care through clinically advanced treatment options. We have an advanced base of technology, including IMRT capability in all but one of our treatment centers and IGRT capability in a majority of our treatment centers. We continue to support our physician groups in their adoption of next generation technologies, which we believe achieves superior clinical results and more attractive reimbursement levels. The early and continual adoption of cutting-edge technology by our physician partners has enabled sharing of this knowledge and best practices across our network quickly to drive superior clinical results. We believe our clinical and technological platform provides us with a significant competitive advantage in attracting new physician groups and is appealing to referral sources, patients and payors.

        Market Leader in Targeted Geographic Regions.    We have built a provider network with a focused geographic presence in key markets. Our network of 37 treatment centers is located in 37 markets and

5


Table of Contents


includes 15 treatment centers in California, 18 treatment centers in Florida and four treatment centers in Indiana. We believe we hold the top market share in California and second leading market share in Florida. We believe these two states are two of the most attractive markets in the United States for cancer treatment providers due to the large and growing senior populations and the high incidence of cancer. In addition, in 2008, we acquired the largest radiation oncology provider in northeast Indiana, providing us with access to an attractive Midwest market. We believe our significant position in these markets creates strong barriers to entry. We also believe that this targeted geographic focus allows us to build a market presence that enables us to drive efficiencies through economies of scale and fixed cost leverage. Due to our robust regional footprint, we believe we have been successful in attracting leading physicians, marketing, negotiating favorable reimbursement rates with third-party payors, achieving operational efficiencies, leveraging referral source relationships, purchasing and sharing highly skilled personnel among our treatment centers.

        Strong Track Record of Same-Center Operating Performance.    We have had significant success driving same-center operating performance improvement through leveraging our strong physician partnership model, proactive referral marketing programs, managed care contracting strategies, sharing knowledge, leadership and resources among our treatment centers and our physician and staff recruiting expertise. Furthermore, our willingness and ability to invest in and implement new state-of-the-art equipment has helped drive substantial same-center growth by enabling appropriate utilization of advanced technology which has resulted in more favorable reimbursement rates. Given the generally stable radiation oncology reimbursement environment and our extensive experience in local markets, we have been able to show year-over-year growth as new acquisitions are made and new technologies are deployed at existing treatment centers.

        Growing Business with Strong and Predictable Cash Flow.    Between fiscal years 2007 through January 1, 2009, we experienced net revenue, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below under the caption "—Summary Historical and Consolidated Financial Data") compound annual growth rates of 11.6%, 65.2% and 14.0%, respectively. We believe there are several underlying factors that contribute to the stability and growing performance of our business, including the aging of the United States population and resultant rise in cancer cases; increased utilization of next generation therapies; improvements in cancer detection and diagnoses; high physician retention due to our long-term MSAs and the stable reimbursement outlook. These factors, combined with our moderate maintenance capital expenditures and minimal working capital needs, result in strong and predictable free cash flow generation.

        Strong and Diversified Business and Payor Mix.    Our affiliated physician groups have a broad range of payors and referral sources, and provide treatment across a wide spectrum of cancer diagnoses. Reimbursements are widely diversified among payor sources, including Medicare (39% of affiliated physician groups 2009 net revenue), Medicaid and Medi-Cal (together "Medicaid") (5% of affiliated physician groups 2009 net revenue) and third-party and other payors (56% of affiliated physician groups 2009 net revenue). This payor diversity mitigates exposure to possible unfavorable reimbursement trends by any one payor or payor class. Given that we are focused on a variety of cancer diagnoses, we believe we have a highly attractive treatment mix with no specific diagnosis representing more than 23% of our affiliated physician groups' net revenue. Our operations are further diversified by the breadth of our affiliated physician groups' referral sources with the top ten referring physicians accounting for less than 7% of all referrals, which we believe provides further stability and predictability of future net revenue.

        Proven and Experienced Management Team.    We are led by a dedicated and highly experienced senior management team with significant expertise and industry knowledge. Our Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and top five executives have an average of more than 20 years of healthcare management experience. Over the past decade, our executive management team has successfully

6

overseen continued growth and operational improvement in oncology centers. This team has developed a systematic approach to business operations and has a core competency in integrating newly acquired treatment centers.

Our Business Strategy

        We believe we are well positioned to leverage our unique physician partnership business model, management expertise and scalable infrastructure to increase our market share within our established geographic regions and selectively expand into new regions. Key elements of our business strategy include:

        Continuing Opportunity with Next Generation Therapies.    We believe the increased utilization of next generation technologies will continue to be a key driver of our growth. Life improving, next generation technologies, such as IMRT and IGRT, enable value-added treatments that drive better clinical results and are typically reimbursed at higher rates than CBT treatments. These next generation technologies are also expanding into new cancer diagnoses and expanded indications, thereby broadening our market opportunity. We intend to actively invest in and implement new technologies along with providing partner physicians the necessary education and best practices to help improve clinical results. By ensuring that these necessary resources are available to our affiliated physician groups' radiation oncologists, we believe they can generate significant incremental value from their existing base of business.

        Focusing on Quality of Care.    We believe that our focus on patient service enhances the quality of care provided, differentiates us from our competitors and strengthens our relationships with referring physicians. We focus on minimizing the physical and psychological discomfort for patients with a comprehensive and comfortable care setting. We aim to enhance a patient's overall quality of life by providing technologically advanced radiation oncology treatment alternatives, which deliver the necessary doses of radiation in a more targeted manner, thus minimizing the harm to healthy organs surrounding a tumor. Our treatment centers are generally located in convenient, community-based settings and are designed to deliver high-quality radiation therapy in a patient-friendly environment. Many of our radiation oncology treatment centers offer support services designed to enhance the patient experience, such as support groups, psychological and nutritional counseling and transportation assistance in a few cases.

        Focusing on Same-Center Operating Performance.    We believe that a focus on census improvement, optimizing the utilization of new technologies, more efficient utilization of treatment center resources and talent management will result in the continued improvement of the financial performance of our existing treatment centers. We have, and believe we will continue to have, significant success driving census improvement through our proactive referral marketing programs, further advancements in web-based marketing, targeted physician recruitment and strategic payor negotiations. We have a proven ability to enhance treatment center operations through our benchmarking programs, sharing of best practices and measuring performance with specified center metrics. Furthermore, our willingness and ability to invest in and implement new state-of-the-art equipment has helped drive same-center growth. Given the stable radiation oncology reimbursement environment and our extensive experience in local markets, we believe we will continue to show year-over-year growth at our existing treatment centers.

        Expanding by Acquisitions in Targeted Geographic Regions.    The radiation therapy market remains highly fragmented and we believe there are numerous acquisition opportunities in both our current and new markets. We evaluate opportunities to grow through a disciplined and selective acquisition process that focuses on cash flow generation. We believe we have been, and will continue to be, successful in the targeting and integration of acquisitions to expand our current footprint. Since the beginning of 2006, we have acquired 23 treatment centers, targeting markets that have attractive demographic trends

where we can leverage operating costs and referral networks. In 2008, we acquired the largest radiation oncology group in northeast Indiana, which moved us into an attractive new market where future potential acquisitions exist. Selectively targeting tuck-in acquisitions on an opportunistic basis has allowed us to acquire underperforming and undercapitalized treatment centers at attractive prices where we can focus on achieving operational synergies and cost savings. We have developed a systematic approach for integrating newly acquired treatment centers and have proven our ability to enhance affiliated physician group operations through benchmarking programs, sharing of best practices, developing targeted performance metrics across treatment centers and our willingness to invest and implement new technologies. To date, we have achieved significant improvement in the financial performance of our acquired treatment centers.

        Developing New Treatment Centers and Pursuing Additional Partnerships.    We believe that developments in our current markets have the potential to provide significant near-term net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth for us, with moderate capital expenditure requirements. Our strategy is to further penetrate existing and contiguous markets that we believe offer an attractive opportunity for significant growth. We plan to open treatment centers in proximity to established treatment centers where requisite patient demand and referral source relationships exist. We believe this strategy also allows us to accelerate new treatment center growth by leveraging the existing reputation of our partner physicians, their referral network and our infrastructure. We also focus on joint-venture and partnership opportunities to expand our service and technology offering and to expand strategically.

For a more complete understanding of the exchange notes, please refer to the sections of this prospectus entitled "The Exchange Offer" and "Description of Exchange Notes."

The Exchange Offer

  We are offering to exchange an aggregate of $210.0 million principal amount of exchange notes for $210.0 million principal amount of the private notes.

 

To exchange your private notes, you must properly tender them, and we must accept them. You may tender outstanding private notes only in denominations of the principal amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the exchange offer, we will exchange all private notes that you validly tender and do not validly withdraw before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. We will issue registered exchange notes promptly after the expiration of the exchange offer.

 

The form and terms of the exchange notes will be substantially identical to those of the private notes except that the exchange notes will have been registered under the Securities Act and will not be subject to restrictions on transfer under the Securities Act. Therefore, the exchange notes will not be subject to certain contractual transfer restrictions, registration rights and certain additional interest provisions applicable to the private notes prior to consummation of the exchange offer.

Resale of Exchange Notes

 

We believe that, if you are not a broker-dealer, you may offer exchange notes (together with the guarantees thereof) for resale, resell and otherwise transfer the exchange notes (and the related guarantees) without complying with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act if you:

 

•       acquired the exchange notes in the ordinary course of business;

 

•       are not engaged in, do not intend to engage in and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a "distribution" (as defined under the Securities Act) of the exchange notes; and

 

•       are not an "affiliate" (as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act) of ours or any guarantor.

10


Table of Contents

 

If any of these conditions are not satisfied, you must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction. Our belief that transfers of exchange notes would be permitted without registration or prospectus delivery under the conditions described above is based on the interpretations of the SEC given to other, unrelated issuers in transactions similar to this exchange offer. We cannot assure you that the SEC would take the same position with respect to this exchange offer.

Broker-Dealers

 

Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account in exchange for private notes, where the private notes were acquired by it as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus that meets the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the exchange notes. However, by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.

Expiration Date

 

The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on            , 2010, unless we extend it.

Withdrawal

 

You may withdraw your tender of private notes under the exchange offer at any time before the exchange offer expires. Any withdrawal must be in accordance with the procedures described in "The Exchange Offer—Withdrawal Rights."

Procedures for Tendering Private Notes

 

Each holder of private notes that wishes to tender private notes for exchange notes pursuant to the exchange offer must, before the exchange offer expires, either:

 

•       transmit a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, together with all other documents required by the letter of transmittal, including the private notes, to the exchange agent; or

 

•       if private notes are tendered in accordance with book-entry procedures, arrange with The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, to cause to be transmitted to the exchange agent an agent's message indicating, among other things, the holder's agreement to be bound by the letter of transmittal,

 

or comply with the procedures described below under "—Guaranteed Delivery."

 

A holder of private notes that tenders private notes in the exchange offer must represent, among other things, that:

 

•       the holder is not an "affiliate" of ours or any guarantor as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act;

11


Table of Contents

 

•       the holder is acquiring the exchange notes in its ordinary course of business;

 

•       the holder is not engaged in, does not intend to engage in and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of the exchange notes within the meaning of the Securities Act;

 

•       if the holder is a broker-dealer that will receive exchange notes for its own account in exchange for outstanding notes that were acquired as a result of market-making or other trading activities, then the holder will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the exchange notes; and

 

•       the holder is not acting on behalf of any person who could not truthfully make the foregoing representations.

 

Do not send letters of transmittal, certificates representing private notes or other documents to us or DTC. Send these documents only to the exchange agent at the address given in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal.

Special Procedures for Tenders by Beneficial Owners of Private Notes

 

If

 

•       you beneficially own private notes;

 

•       those private notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee or custodian; and

 

•       you wish to tender your private notes in the exchange offer,

 

you should contact the registered holder as soon as possible and instruct it to tender the private notes on your behalf and comply with the instructions set forth in this prospectus and the letter of transmittal.

Guaranteed Delivery

 

If you hold private notes in certificated form or if you own private notes in the form of a book-entry interest in a global note deposited with the trustee, as custodian for DTC, and you wish to tender those private notes but

 

•       your private notes are not immediately available; or

 

•       you cannot deliver the private notes, the letter of transmittal or other required documents to the exchange agent on or prior to the expiration date,

 

you may tender your private notes in accordance with the procedures described in "The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Private Notes—Guaranteed Delivery."

Consequences of Not Exchanging Private Notes

 

If you do not tender your private notes or we reject your tender, your private notes will remain outstanding and will continue to be subject to the provisions in the indenture regarding the transfer and exchange of the private notes and the existing restrictions on transfer set forth in the legends on the private notes. In general, the private notes may not be offered or sold unless registered under the Securities Act, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Holders of private notes will not be entitled to any further registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement. We do not currently anticipate that we will take any action following the consummation of the exchange offer to register any of the remaining private notes under the Securities Act.

 

You do not have any appraisal or dissenters' rights in connection with the exchange offer.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

 

Your exchange of private notes for exchange notes will not be treated as a taxable exchange for United States federal income tax purposes. For a discussion of the material United States federal income tax consequences relating to the notes, see "Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences."

Conditions to the Exchange Offer

 

The exchange offer is subject to the conditions that it will not violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC. The exchange offer is not conditioned upon any minimum principal amount of private notes being tendered for exchange.

Use of Proceeds

 

We will not receive any cash proceeds from the exchange offer.

Acceptance of Private Notes and Delivery of Exchange Notes

 

Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the exchange offer, we will accept for exchange any and all private notes properly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City, time on the expiration date of the exchange offer. We will complete the exchange offer and issue the exchange notes promptly after the expiration of the exchange offer.

Exchange Agent

 

Wilmington Trust FSB is serving as exchange agent for the exchange offer. The address and the facsimile and telephone numbers of the exchange agent are provided in this prospectus under "The Exchange Offer—Exchange Agent" and in the letter of transmittal.

Table of Contents

Use of Proceeds   We will not receive any cash proceeds from the exchange offer.

No Public Market

 

The exchange notes are a new issue of securities and will not be listed on any securities exchange or included in any automated quotation system. The initial purchaser has advised us that it intends to make a market in the exchange notes. The initial purchaser is not obligated to make a market in the exchange notes, however, and any such market may be discontinued by the initial purchaser in its discretion at any time without notice. See "Plan of Distribution."

Exchange Offer; Registration Rights

 

In connection with the sale of the private notes, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the initial purchaser of the private notes in which we agreed to:

 

•       file one or more registration statements no later than 270 days after the closing of the offering of the private notes, enabling holders of the private notes to exchange their unregistered notes for registered, publicly tradable notes with substantially identical terms;

 

•       cause the registration statement to become effective within 330 days after the closing of the offering of the private notes;

 

•       consummate the exchange offer within 30 business days after the registration statement is required to be declared effective; and

 

•       file a shelf registration statement for the resale of the private notes if we cannot effect the exchange offer within the time periods listed above.


 

 

The interest rate on the notes will increase by 0.25% per annum for the first 90 day period following a default of the registration obligations, increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum for each subsequent 90 day period, up to a maximum of 1.0% per annum.

 

 

After the exchange offer has been consummated, the Equity Interests of a Restricted Subsidiary will constitute Collateral only to the extent that such Equity Interests can secure the notes without Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act (or any other law, rule or regulation) requiring separate financial statements of such Restricted Subsidiary to be filed with the SEC (or any other governmental agency).

Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income as adjusted for depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest and other income, income taxes, income from discontinued operations, non-cash equity based compensation expense, impairment loss resulting from discontinued operations, loss on interest rate swap, the management fee that we pay to Genstar and for certain other items that we believe are appropriate to manage the business and for the understanding of the reader, as detailed below. You are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons we consider it appropriate for supplemental analysis.

    We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it to be an important supplemental measure of our performance and believe this measure is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industries with similar capital structures. We believe issuers of "high yield" securities also present Adjusted EBITDA because investors, analysts and rating agencies consider it useful in measuring the ability of those issuers to meet debt service obligations. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate supplemental measure of debt service capacity, because cash expenditures for interest are, by definition, available to pay interest, and income tax expense is inversely correlated to interest expense because income tax expense goes down as deductible interest expense goes up and depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges.

    Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this item in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

    Adjusted EBITDA:

    excludes certain income tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;

    does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

    does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and

    does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt, including the notes;

    although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

    other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure; and

18


Table of Contents

    we include certain adjustments that may be recurring in nature and may not meet the GAAP definition of infrequent or unusual items, but we believe these items are appropriate to manage the business and for the understanding of the reader.

    Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally.

    In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, we make certain adjustments that are based on assumptions and estimates. In addition, in evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses, or realize benefits, similar to those adjusted in this presentation. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA in accordance with the debt covenants of our revolving credit agreement and certain adjustments are subject to debt administrator concurrence.

    Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of our performance and our ability to service debt that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as measures of our liquidity. In addition, our measurements of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a description of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool.

RISK FACTORS

        You should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information and data included in this prospectus before making a decision to exchange your private notes for the exchange notes in the exchange offer. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business. If any of the events described in the risk factors below occur, our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects could be materially adversely affected, which in turn could adversely affect our ability to repay the notes. The risk factors set forth below are generally applicable to the private notes as well as the exchange notes.

Risks Related to Our Business

We depend on payments to our affiliated physician groups from Medicare and Medicaid programs for a significant amount of our net revenue and our business could be materially harmed by any changes that result in reimbursement reductions.

        Our affiliated physician groups' payor mix is highly focused toward Medicare patients due to the high proportion of cancer patients over the age of 65. We estimate that approximately 50%, 46%, 44%, 41% and 44% of affiliated physician groups' net revenue for fiscal years 2007, 2008 and 2009, and for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively, consisted of payments from Medicare and Medicaid. These government programs generally reimburse on a fee-for-service basis based on a predetermined reimbursement rate schedule referred to as the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. Medicare reimbursement rates under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule are determined by a statutory formula that is used to calculate payment amounts for all physician specialties on an annual basis. Under the existing statutory formula, payments for the past several years would have decreased without congressional intervention and extensions. The most recent such extension was the Preservation of Access to Care for Medicare Beneficiaries and Pension Relief Act of 2010, signed into law on June 25, 2010, which not only continued earlier 2010 legislative interventions that prevented the 2010 radiation oncology rate reduction projected to be over 21%, but also increased radiation oncology payment rates by 2.2%, effective June 1, 2010 through November 30, 2010. For 2011, Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services, or CMS, is projecting a radiation oncology rate reduction of 6.1%, but this projection does not account for the 2010 legislative changes to the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule updates. The 2011 payment amounts are expected to be released by November 2010. There can be no assurance that Congress will enact another extension or move towards a more permanent solution. If future reductions resulting from the statutory formula are not suspended temporarily or through a permanent "doctor fix," a reduction in the payment amount will have a significant adverse impact on our business. Any reduction in the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule amounts or any changes in the Medicare, Medicaid or similar government programs that limit or reduce the amounts paid to us for our services could cause our net revenue and profitability to decline.

If payments to our affiliated physician groups by managed care organizations and other third-party payors decrease, our net revenue and profitability would be adversely affected.

        We estimate that approximately 49%, 53%, 55%, 58% and 54% of our affiliated physician groups' net revenue for fiscal years 2007, 2008 and 2009, and for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively, was derived from payments by third-party payors such as managed care organizations and private health insurance programs. These third-party payors generally pay for the services rendered to an insured patient based upon predetermined rates. Managed care organizations typically pay at lower rates than traditional private health insurance programs. While third-party payor rates are generally higher than government program reimbursement rates, if managed care organizations and other private insurers reduce their rates or our affiliated physician groups experience a significant shift toward additional managed care payors or Medicare or Medicaid reimbursements, then our net revenue and

22


Table of Contents


profitability will decline and our operating margins will be reduced. Any inability to maintain suitable financial arrangements with third-party payors could have a material adverse impact on our business.

Our treatment centers are concentrated in Florida and California, which makes us particularly sensitive to regulatory, economic and other conditions that affect those states.

        Our California treatment centers accounted for approximately 60%, 57%, 52%, 53% and 52% of our net revenues during fiscal years 2007, 2008, and 2009, and for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively, and our Florida treatment centers accounted for approximately 37%, 35%, 34%, 35% and 35% of our net revenues during fiscal years 2007, 2008, 2009, and for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively. If our treatment centers in these states are adversely affected by changes in regulatory, economic and other conditions, our net revenue and profitability may decline.

Pressure to control healthcare costs could have a negative impact on our results.

        One of the principal objectives of managed care organizations (such as health maintenance organizations and preferred provider organizations) is to control the cost of healthcare services. Healthcare providers participating in managed care plans may be influenced to refer patients seeking radiation therapy for their cancer treatment to certain providers depending on the plan in which a covered patient is enrolled. The expansion of health maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations and other managed care organizations within the geographic areas covered by our treatment centers could have a negative impact on the utilization and pricing of our services, because these organizations may exert greater control over patients' access to radiation therapy services, the selections of the provider of such services and reimbursement rates for those services.

Reforms to the United States healthcare system may adversely affect our business.

        A significant portion of the volume at our treatment centers is derived from government healthcare programs, principally Medicare and Medicaid, which are highly regulated and subject to frequent and substantial changes. National healthcare reform remains a focus at the federal level. In March 2010, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act (collectively, the "PPACA").

        We anticipate the Health Care Reform Act will significantly affect how the healthcare industry operates with respect to Medicare, Medicaid and private health insurance. The Health Care Reform Act contains a number of provisions, including those governing fraud and abuse, enrollment in federal healthcare programs, and reimbursement changes, which will impact existing government healthcare programs and will result in the development of new programs, including Medicare payment for performance initiatives and improvements to the physician quality reporting system and feedback program. We can give no assurance that the PPACA will not adversely affect our business and financial results, and we cannot predict how future federal or state legislative or administrative changes relating to healthcare reform would affect our business.

We may need to raise additional capital, which may be difficult or impossible to obtain at attractive prices.

        We may need additional capital for growth, acquisitions, development, integration of operations and technology and equipment in the future. Any additional capital could be raised through public or private debt or equity financings. The incurrence of additional debt could increase our interest expense and other debt service obligations and could result in the imposition of additional covenants that restrict our operational and financial flexibility. Additional capital may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all. The failure to raise additional needed capital could impede the implementation of our operating and growth strategies.

The radiation therapy market is highly competitive.

        Radiation therapy is a highly competitive business. Our treatment centers face competition from hospitals, other practitioners and other operators of radiation oncology treatment centers. Certain of our competitors have longer operating histories and significantly greater financial and other resources than us. Competitors with greater access to financial resources or other operational advantages may enter our markets and compete with us. Such competition may make it more difficult for us to affiliate with additional radiation oncology groups on terms that are favorable to us or maintain our relationships with existing affiliated physician groups, which could adversely affect our business.

We depend on our executive management and our non-executive Chairman and we may be materially harmed if we lose any member of our executive management or our non-executive Chairman.

        We are dependent upon the services of our executive management, especially L. Duane Choate, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Timothy A. Peach, our Chief Financial Officer, William L. Pegler, our Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Russell D. Phillips, Jr., our Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer, and our non-executive Chairman, Dr. Shyam B. Paryani. We have entered into executive employment agreements with Messrs. Choate, Pegler and Phillips. Because these members of our senior management team and Dr. Paryani have contributed greatly to our growth, their services would be very difficult, time consuming and costly to replace. We do not carry key-man life insurance on our executive management team. The loss of key personnel or our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on us. A decision by any of these individuals to leave our employ, to compete with us or to reduce his involvement on our behalf, would have a material adverse effect on our business.

If our affiliated physicians groups terminate or decline to renew their management services agreements, or MSAs, with us, we could be seriously harmed.

        The MSAs we enter into with treatment centers are the result of arms' length negotiations. Under certain circumstances, the affiliated physicians groups are permitted, and may attempt, to terminate their MSAs with us. If any of the larger affiliated physicians groups were to succeed in such a termination, our business could be seriously harmed. For the year ended December 31, 2009, approximately 36% of our net revenue came from management fees received from two of our affiliated physician groups. We may in the future have disputes with physicians and/or affiliated physicians groups that could result in harmful changes to our relationship with them or a termination of an MSA. Likewise, to the extent that our MSAs with affiliated physician groups expire and are not renewed, our business may be adversely affected.

Current economic conditions could adversely affect our business.

        The economy and capital and credit markets have experienced exceptional turmoil and upheaval. Many major economies worldwide entered significant economic recessions in 2007 and some continue to experience economic weakness. Ongoing concerns about the systemic impact of potential long-term and widespread recession and potentially prolonged economic recovery, volatile energy costs, geopolitical issues, the availability, cost and terms of credit, consumer and business confidence, substantially increased and potentially increasing unemployment rates and the ongoing crisis in the global housing and mortgage markets have all contributed to increased market volatility and diminished expectations for both established and emerging economies. In the second half of 2008, added concerns fueled by government interventions in financial systems led to increased market uncertainty and instability in both the United States and international capital and credit markets. These conditions led to economic uncertainty of unprecedented levels. The availability, cost and terms of credit also have been and may continue to be adversely affected by illiquid markets and wider credit spreads. Concern

24


Table of Contents


about the stability of the markets generally and the strength of counterparties specifically has led many lenders and institutional investors to reduce, and in many cases cease to provide, credit to businesses and consumers. These factors have led to a substantial and continuing decrease in spending by businesses and consumers over the past two years. Continued turbulence in the United States and international markets and economies and prolonged declines in business and consumer spending may adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition, and the liquidity and financial condition of our customers, including our ability to refinance maturing debt instruments and to access the capital markets and obtain capital lease financing to meet liquidity needs.

Our growth strategy depends in part on our ability to acquire and develop additional treatment centers on favorable terms. If we are unable to do so, our future growth could be limited.

        We may be unable to identify, negotiate and consummate suitable acquisition and development opportunities on reasonable terms. We began managing our first radiation oncology treatment center in 1998, and have grown to manage 37 radiation oncology treatment centers. We expect to continue to add additional treatment centers in our existing and new regional markets. Our growth, however, will depend on several factors, including:

    our ability to obtain desirable locations for treatment centers in suitable markets;

    our ability to affiliate with a sufficient number of radiation oncology groups;

    our ability to obtain adequate financing to fund our growth strategy;

    our ability to successfully operate under applicable government regulations;

    environmental risks associated with the disposal of radioactive, chemical and medical waste; and

    delays that often accompany construction of treatment centers.

Our information systems are critical to our business and a failure of those systems could materially harm us.

        We depend on our ability to store, retrieve, process and manage a significant amount of information, and to provide our treatment centers with efficient and effective accounting, scheduling, billing and treatment planning systems. If our information systems fail to perform as expected, or if we suffer an interruption, malfunction or loss of information processing capabilities, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We may be subject to actions for false claims for failure to comply with government coding and billing rules which could harm our business given our role as agent for such physician groups.

        If we, or any of the physician groups with which we contract, fail to comply with federal and state documentation, coding and billing rules, both we and they could be subject to civil and/or criminal penalties, loss of licenses and exclusion from the Medicare and/or Medicaid programs. Approximately 50%, 46%, 44%, 41% and 44% of our affiliated physician groups' net revenue for fiscal years 2007, 2008 and 2009, and for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively, consisted of payments from Medicare and Medicaid programs. In billing for services to third-party payors, complex documentation, coding and billing rules must be followed. These rules are based on federal and state laws, rules and regulations, various government pronouncements and industry practice. Failure to follow these rules could result in potential criminal or civil liability under the federal False Claims Act, under which extensive financial penalties can be imposed. It could further result in criminal liability under various federal and state criminal statutes. While we strive to comply with applicable federal and state documentation, coding, and billing requirements, and the charges submitted on behalf of our affiliated physician groups are carefully and regularly reviewed as part of our compliance program, there can be

25


Table of Contents


no assurances that governmental investigators, private insurers or private whistleblowers will not challenge these practices. A challenge could result in a material adverse effect on our business.

State law limitations and prohibitions on the corporate practice of medicine may materially harm our business and limit how we can operate.

        State governmental authorities regulate the medical industry and medical practices extensively. Many states have corporate practice of medicine laws which may prohibit us from:

    employing physicians;

    practicing medicine, which, in some states, includes managing or operating a radiation oncology treatment center;

    entering into certain types of fee arrangements with physicians;

    owning or controlling equipment used in a medical practice;

    setting fees charged for physician services;

    maintaining a physician's patient records; or

    controlling the content of physician advertisements.

        In addition, many states impose limits on the tasks a physician may delegate to other staff members. We have MSAs in states, such as California, which prohibit the corporate practice of medicine. Corporate practice of medicine laws and their interpretation vary from state to state, and regulatory authorities enforce them with broad discretion. If we are in violation of these laws, we could be required to restructure our agreements which could materially harm our business and limit how we operate. In the event the corporate practice of medicine laws of other states would adversely limit our ability to operate, it could prevent us from expanding into the particular state and impact our growth strategy.

If we fail to comply with the laws and regulations applicable to our treatment center operations, we could suffer penalties or be required to make significant changes to our operations.

        Our treatment center operations are subject to many laws and regulations at the federal, state and local government levels. These laws and regulations require that our treatment centers meet various licensing, certification and other requirements, including those relating to:

    qualification of medical and support persons;

    protection of the privacy of patients' individually identifiable health information;

    pricing of services by healthcare providers;

    the adequacy of medical care, equipment, personnel, operating policies and procedures;

    maintenance and protection of records; and

    environmental protection, health and safety.

        If our treatment centers fail or have failed to comply with applicable laws and regulations, we and/or our affiliated physician groups could suffer civil or criminal penalties, including becoming the subject of cease and desist orders, losing our licenses to operate and/or losing our ability to participate in government or private healthcare programs, any or all of which could have material adverse effects on our business.

If we or our affiliated physician groups fail to comply with the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, we or they could be subject to civil and criminal penalties, and they could face loss of licenses, and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs, which could materially harm us given our role as agent for such physician groups.

        A provision of the Social Security Act, commonly referred to as the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, prohibits the offer, payment, solicitation or receipt of any form of remuneration in return for referring, ordering, leasing, purchasing or arranging for or recommending the ordering, purchasing or leasing of items or services payable by Medicare, Medicaid or any other federally funded healthcare program. The federal Anti-Kickback Statute is very broad in scope and many of its provisions have not been uniformly or definitively interpreted by existing case law or regulations. All of our financial relationships with healthcare providers are potentially implicated by this statute to the extent Medicare or Medicaid referrals are implicated. Financial relationships covered by this statute can include any relationship where remuneration is provided for referrals including payments not commensurate with fair market value, whether in the form of space, equipment leases, professional or technical services or anything else of value. Further, the PPACA, among other things, amends the intent requirement of the federal Anti-Kickback and criminal health care fraud statutes. A person or entity no longer needs to have actual knowledge of this statute or specific intent to violate it. In addition, the PPACA provides that the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the false claims statutes. Violations of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute may result in substantial civil or criminal penalties to us or our affiliated physician groups or both. The exclusion, if applied to one or more of our affiliated physician groups or affiliate personnel, could result in significant reductions in our net revenue and could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, all the states in which we operate have also adopted similar anti-kickback laws that prohibit payments to physicians in exchange for referrals, some of which apply regardless of the source of payment for care. These statutes typically impose criminal and civil penalties as well as loss of licenses.

If we fail to comply with the provision of the Civil Monetary Penalties Law relating to inducements provided to patients, we could be subject to civil penalties and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs, which could materially harm us.

        Under a provision of the federal Civil Monetary Penalties Law, civil monetary penalties (and exclusion) may be imposed on any person who offers or transfers remuneration to any patient who is a Medicare or Medicaid beneficiary, when the person knows or should know that the remuneration is likely to induce the patient to receive medical services from a particular provider. This broad provision applies to many kinds of inducements or benefits provided to patients, including complementary items, services or transportation that are of more than a nominal value. If government authorities impose civil monetary penalties and exclude our affiliated physician groups for past or present practices, given our role as an agent, the imposition of monetary penalties and/or exclusion of any of our affiliated physician groups could harm our business.

Our business could be materially harmed by future interpretation or implementation of state laws regarding prohibitions on fee-splitting.

        The states in which we operate prohibit the splitting or sharing of fees between physicians and non-physicians. These laws vary from state to state and are enforced by courts and regulatory agencies, each with broad discretion. Some states have interpreted certain types of fee arrangements in management services agreements between entities and physicians as unlawful fee-splitting. If regulatory authorities or other parties successfully asserted a fee-splitting claim in any jurisdiction, we, our affiliated physician groups and their physicians could be subject to civil and criminal penalties and we could be required to restructure our MSAs. Any restructuring of MSAs with affiliated physician groups

27


Table of Contents


could result in lower net revenue from such physician groups. Alternatively, some of our MSAs could be found to be illegal and unenforceable, which could result in the termination of those MSAs and an associated loss of net revenue. In addition, expansion of our operations to other states with certain types of fee-splitting prohibitions may require structural and organizational modification to the form of relationships that we currently have with physicians, professional corporations and hospitals.

If a federal or state agency adopts a different position or enacts new laws or regulations regarding illegal payments under the Medicare, Medicaid or other governmental programs, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties, experience a significant reduction in our net revenue or our affiliated physician groups could be excluded from participation in the Medicare, Medicaid or other governmental programs.

        Any change in interpretations or enforcement of existing or new laws and regulations could subject our business to allegations of impropriety or illegality, or could require us to make changes in our treatment centers, equipment, personnel, services, pricing or capital expenditure programs, which could increase our operating expenses and have a material adverse effect on our operations or reduce the demand for or profitability of our services.

        Additionally, new federal or state laws may be enacted that would cause our relationships with our radiation oncologists to become illegal or result in the imposition of penalties against us or our treatment centers. If any of our MSAs with our affiliated physician groups were deemed to violate the federal Anti-Kickback Statute or similar laws, or if new federal or state laws were enacted rendering these arrangements illegal, our business would be adversely affected.

If we fail, or any of our affiliated physician groups fail, to comply with physician self-referral laws as they are currently interpreted or may be interpreted in the future, or if other legislative restrictions are issued, we could incur a significant loss of net revenue.

        We and our affiliated physician groups with which we contract are subject to federal and state statutes and regulations banning payments for referrals of patients and referrals by physicians to healthcare providers with whom the physicians have a financial relationship and billing for services provided pursuant to such referrals if any occur. The federal prohibition on physician self-referrals, known as the Stark Law, applies to Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries and prohibits a physician from referring patients for certain services, including radiation therapy, radiology and laboratory services, to an entity with which the physician has a financial relationship if no statutory or regulatory exception applies. Financial relationship includes both investment interests in an entity and compensation arrangements with an entity. In addition, effective January 1, 2011, as a component for satisfying the Stark exception for in-office ancillary services, the PPACA requires physicians who refer a patient to the referring physician's own practice for MRI, CT, PET and any other designated health service to inform the patient in writing at the time of the referral that the patient may obtain such services from a person other than the in-office provider, and provide the patient with a written list of providers who furnish such services in the area in which the patient resides. The state laws and regulations vary significantly from state to state, are often vague and, in many cases, have not been interpreted by courts or regulatory agencies. These state laws and regulations generally apply to services reimbursed by both governmental and private payors. Violation of these federal and state laws and regulations may result in prohibition of payment for services rendered, loss of licenses, fines, criminal penalties and exclusion from Medicare and Medicaid programs.

        We have financial relationships with our physicians, as defined by the federal Stark Law, in the form of compensation arrangements. Physicians with whom we are affiliated beneficially own 1.3% of our capital stock. We also have financial arrangements with physicians who refer Medicare and Medicaid patients to our affiliated physician groups, which relationships are also subject to the Stark Law. Although we believe that our operations do not violate the Stark Law, government authorities may determine we are not in compliance with the Stark Law or prohibited referrals may occur, which

28


Table of Contents


could subject us to civil and criminal penalties, including fines, exclusion from participation in government and private payor programs and requirements to refund amounts previously received from government and private payors. In addition, expansion of our operations to new jurisdictions, or new interpretations of laws in our existing jurisdictions, could require structural and organizational modifications of our relationships with physicians to comply with that jurisdiction's laws. Such structural and organizational modifications could result in lower profitability and failure to achieve our growth objectives.

Our costs and potential risks have increased as a result of the new regulations relating to privacy and security of patient information.

        There are numerous federal and state regulations addressing patient information privacy and security concerns. In particular, the federal regulations issued under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health, or HITECH, Act of 2009, contain provisions that:

    protect individual privacy by limiting the uses and disclosures of patient information;

    require the implementation of security safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of individually identifiable health information in electronic form; and

    prescribe specific transaction formats and data code sets for certain electronic healthcare transactions.

        Compliance with these regulations requires considerable financial and management resources. The HIPAA regulations expose us to increased regulatory risk if we fail to comply, which could adversely affect our business.

Efforts to regulate the construction, acquisition or expansion of health care treatment centers could prevent us from developing or acquiring additional treatment centers or other facilities or renovating our existing treatment centers.

        Many states have enacted certificate of need, or CON, laws which require prior regulatory approval for the construction, acquisition or expansion of healthcare treatment centers. Before giving approval, these states consider the need for additional or expanded healthcare treatment centers or services. States in which we may operate in the future may also require certificates of need under certain circumstances not currently applicable to us. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain the certificates of need or other required approvals for additional or expanded treatment centers or services in the future. In addition, at the time we acquire a treatment center, we may agree to replace or expand the acquired treatment center. If we are unable to obtain required approvals, we may not be able to acquire additional treatment centers or other facilities in CON states, expand the healthcare services we provide at these treatment centers or replace or expand acquired treatment centers.

In response to recent press reports concerning the risk of significant, sometimes fatal, errors in radiation therapy, especially relating to linear radiation, accreditation of facilities and the establishment of a national error reporting database are under consideration.

        Several recent articles have been published discussing the risks of significant, sometimes fatal, errors in radiation oncology treatment, especially those relating to linac facilities that bill Medicare for radiation oncology services. In addition, various trade organizations have called for quality improvement measures and the establishment of the nation's first central database for the reporting of errors involving linacs and CT scanners. Federal legislation in these areas is under consideration and a congressional hearing was recently held. In addition, on September 29, 2010, California enacted a new

29


Table of Contents


law that will require hospitals and clinics to record radiation doses for CT scans, effective July 1, 2012, and to report any overdoses to patients, their doctors and the California Department of Public Health. Effective July 1, 2013, the new California law also requires all facilities that furnish CT services to be accredited by an organization approved by CMS, the Medical Board of California or the State Department of Public Health. We cannot assure you that the cost of complying with any new regulations will not be substantive, that the negative publicity concerning these errors will not adversely affect our business, or that these types of errors will not occur at our treatment centers.

Our failure to comply with laws related to hazardous materials could materially harm us.

        Our treatment centers provide specialized treatment involving the use of radioactive materials. Radioactive materials are obtained from third-party providers of supplies to hospitals and other radiation therapy practices. If these radioactive materials are not permanently implanted in a patient they are returned to such third-party provider, which has the ultimate responsibility for its proper disposal. We remain subject, however, to state and federal laws regulating the protection of employees who may be exposed to hazardous material and regulating the proper handling, storage and disposal of that material. A violation of such laws, or the future enactment of more stringent laws or regulations, could subject us to liability, or require us to incur costs that could have a material adverse effect on us.

We are vulnerable to earthquakes, harsh weather and other natural disasters.

        Fifteen of our treatment centers and our centralized billing office are located in California, an area prone to earthquakes, fires and other natural disasters. In addition, all of our treatment centers located in Florida are in areas that have suffered from hurricanes in the past. Some of our treatment centers have also been affected by harsh weather conditions. An earthquake, harsh weather conditions or other natural disaster could decrease census during affected periods and seriously impair our operations. Damage to our equipment or interruption of our business would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

If a casualty occurs at any of our treatment centers, our net revenue and profitability may be adversely affected.

        If a fire or similar casualty occurs at any of our treatment centers, operations at that site may be disrupted for an unknown period of time and the physicians at that treatment center may not be able to treat patients. Any disruption to our business due to a casualty could have an adverse impact on our net revenue and profitability.

Our business may be harmed by technological and therapeutic changes.

        The treatment of cancer patients is subject to potentially revolutionary technological and therapeutic changes. Future technological developments could render our equipment obsolete. We may incur significant costs in replacing or modifying equipment in which we have already made a substantial investment prior to the end of its anticipated useful life. In addition, there may be significant advances in other cancer treatment methods, such as chemotherapy, surgery, biological therapy or in cancer prevention techniques, which could reduce demand or even eliminate the need for the radiation therapy services we provide.

Certain private equity investment funds affiliated with Genstar own a significant majority of our equity and their interests may not be aligned with yours.

        Genstar and its affiliates, directly and indirectly, own a substantial majority of our capital stock. Genstar also controls, to a large degree, the election of directors, the appointment of management, the entering into mergers, sales of substantially all of our assets and other extraordinary transactions. The directors have authority, subject to the terms of our debt, to issue additional stock, implement stock repurchase programs, declare dividends and make other decisions. The interests of Genstar could conflict with your interests. For example, if we encounter financial difficulties or are unable to pay our debts as they mature, the interests of Genstar, as an equity holder, might conflict with your interests as a noteholder. Genstar may also have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures, financings or other transactions that, in its judgment, could enhance its equity investments, even though such transactions might involve risks to you as a noteholder. Additionally, Genstar is in the business of making investments in companies, and may from time to time in the future acquire interests in businesses that directly or indirectly compete with certain portions of our business or are suppliers or customers of ours.

Risks Related to the Exchange Notes

        If you do not properly tender your private notes, or if we do not accept your private notes because you did not tender your private notes properly, then, after we consummate the exchange offer, you may continue to hold private notes that are subject to the existing transfer restrictions. In general, the private notes may not be offered or sold unless they are registered or exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. We do not currently anticipate that we will take any action following the consummation of the exchange offer to register resales of the private notes under the Securities Act or under any state securities laws.

        In addition, if you tender your private notes for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the exchange notes, you will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the exchange notes. If you are a broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for your own account in exchange for private notes that you acquired as a result of market-making activities or any other trading activities, you will be required to acknowledge that you will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes.

        After the exchange offer is consummated, if you continue to hold any private notes, you may have difficulty selling them because there will be less private notes outstanding. In addition, if a large amount of private notes are not tendered or are tendered improperly, the limited amount of exchange notes that would be issued and outstanding after we consummate the exchange offer could lower the market price of such exchange notes.

Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial health and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under the exchange notes.

        As of June 30, 2010, we had $212.4 million of total indebtedness, and capacity in an amount of up to $40.0 million of revolving credit borrowings (subject to increase pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the notes and the agreement governing our credit facility). Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences to you. For example, it could:

    make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the exchange notes;

    increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

    make it more difficult for us to satisfy our financial obligations, including with respect to the exchange notes;

    restrict us from making strategic acquisitions or cause us to make non-strategic divestitures;

    require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes;

    limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;

    place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and

    limit our ability to borrow additional funds.

        In addition, the terms of the indenture governing the exchange notes and our revolving credit facility contain restrictive covenants that limit our ability to engage in activities that may be in our long-term best interests. Our failure to comply with those covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of all of our debts.

Despite our substantial indebtedness level, we and our subsidiaries may still be able to incur significant additional amounts of debt, which could further exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial indebtedness.

        We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness, including additional notes and other secured indebtedness, in the future. Although the indenture governing the exchange notes and the agreement governing our revolving credit facility contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of significant qualifications and exceptions, and under certain circumstances, the amount of indebtedness that could be incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. If new debt is added to our existing debt levels, the related risks that we now face would intensify. In addition, the indenture governing the exchange notes and the agreement governing our revolving credit facility do not prevent us from incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness under the agreements.

To service our indebtedness, we will require a significant amount of cash. Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control.

        Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness, including the exchange notes, to fund planned capital expenditures and to maintain sufficient working capital will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control.

        We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us under our revolving credit facility or from other sources in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our indebtedness, including the exchange notes, or to fund our other liquidity needs. If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to allow us to make scheduled payments on our indebtedness, we may need to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness, including our revolving credit facility and the exchange notes, on or before maturity. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness, including our revolving credit facility and the exchange notes, on commercially reasonable terms or at all, or that the terms of that indebtedness will allow any of the above alternative measures or that these measures would satisfy our scheduled debt service obligations. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow to repay or refinance our debt on favorable terms, it could have significant adverse effects on our financial condition, the value of our outstanding debt, including the exchange notes offered hereby, and our ability to make any required cash payments under our indebtedness, including the exchange notes.

The liens on the collateral securing the exchange notes will be junior and subordinate to the liens on the collateral securing our obligations under our revolving credit facility or any other permitted first lien indebtedness. If there is a default, the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to repay both the lenders under our revolving credit facility and holders of other permitted first lien indebtedness and the holders of the exchange notes.

        The exchange notes will be secured by second-priority liens, subject to certain permitted liens and encumbrances described in the security documents relating to the exchange notes, to be granted by us on our assets that secure the obligations under our revolving credit facility and other permitted first lien indebtedness on a first-priority basis.

        Substantially all of our assets are subject to first-priority liens in favor of the lenders under our revolving credit facility. Because obligations under our revolving credit facility are secured on a first-priority basis, a default under that facility would entitle those lenders to declare all funds outstanding under our revolving credit facility to be immediately due and payable and to foreclose on our assets that also serve as collateral for the exchange notes.

        The rights of the holders of the exchange notes with respect to the collateral securing the exchange notes will be limited pursuant to the terms of the security documents relating to the exchange notes and an intercreditor agreement. Under the terms of those agreements, the holders of the exchange notes will have a second-priority lien on all of the collateral that secures the obligations under our revolving credit facility and other permitted first lien indebtedness on a first-priority basis. Accordingly, any proceeds received upon a realization of the collateral securing the exchange notes will be applied first to amounts due under our revolving credit facility and other permitted first lien indebtedness before any amounts will be available to pay the holders of the exchange notes. Under the terms of the indenture governing the exchange notes, we are permitted to incur first lien indebtedness in amounts in excess of the current commitments under our revolving credit facility, all of which can be secured by the collateral on a first-priority lien basis and which will be entitled to payment out of the proceeds of any sale of such collateral before the holders of the exchange notes are entitled to any recovery from such collateral.

33


Table of Contents

        Additionally, the terms of the indenture allow us to issue additional notes in certain circumstances. The indenture does not require that we maintain the current level of collateral or maintain a specific ratio of indebtedness-to-asset values. Any additional notes issued pursuant to the indenture will rank pari passu with the exchange notes and be entitled to the same rights and priority with respect to the collateral. Thus, the issuance of additional notes pursuant to the indenture may have the effect of significantly diluting your ability to recover payment in full from the then existing pool of collateral. Any obligations secured by such liens may further limit the recovery from the realization of the collateral available to satisfy holders of the exchange notes.

We are subject to a number of restrictive covenants, which may restrict our business and financing activities.

        The agreement governing our revolving credit facility and the indenture governing the exchange notes impose, and the terms of any future indebtedness may impose, operating and other restrictions on us. Such restrictions affect, and in many respects limit or prohibit, among other things, our and our subsidiaries' ability to:

    incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue disqualified capital stock;

    transfer or sell assets;

    pay dividends or distributions, redeem subordinated indebtedness, make certain types of investments or make other restricted payments;

    create or incur liens;

    incur dividend or other payment restrictions affecting certain subsidiaries;

    consummate a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets;

    enter into transactions with affiliates;

    designate subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries;

    engage in a business other than a business that is the same or similar to our current business or a reasonably related business; and

    take or omit to take any actions that would adversely affect or impair in any material respect the collateral securing the exchange notes and our revolving credit facility.

        If we are unable to comply with the restrictions contained in our revolving credit facility, the lenders could:

    foreclose and sell assets;

    declare all borrowings outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest, to be immediately due and payable; or

    require us to apply all of our available cash to repay the borrowings under the revolving credit facility;

any of which could result in an event of default under the exchange notes.

        If we are unable to repay or otherwise refinance these borrowings when due, the lenders could sell the collateral securing our revolving credit facility, which constitutes substantially all of our and our subsidiaries' assets. Although holders of the exchange notes could accelerate the exchange notes upon the acceleration of the obligations under our revolving credit facility, we cannot assure you that sufficient assets will remain after we have repaid all the borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Only certain of our subsidiaries will be required to guarantee the exchange notes, and the assets of our non-guarantor subsidiaries may not be available to make payments on the exchange notes.

        As of the date of the indenture governing the exchange notes, all of our subsidiaries will be restricted subsidiaries. Our domestic restricted subsidiaries, other than certain immaterial subsidiaries, will guarantee the exchange notes. However, under certain circumstances we will be permitted to designate some of our subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. Certain of our subsidiaries, including any unrestricted subsidiaries, may not be required to guarantee the exchange notes. However, the indenture governing the exchange notes will permit these subsidiaries to incur significant amounts of indebtedness in the future. In the event that any non-guarantor subsidiary becomes insolvent, liquidates, reorganizes, dissolves or otherwise winds up, holders of its indebtedness and its trade creditors generally will be entitled to payment on their claims from the assets of that subsidiary before any of those assets are made available to us. Consequently, your claims in respect of the exchange notes will be effectively subordinated to all of the liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, including trade payables, and the claims (if any) of third party holders or preferred equity interests in our non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Under certain circumstances a court could cancel the exchange notes or the related guarantees and the security interests that secure the exchange notes and any guarantees under fraudulent conveyance laws.

        Our issuance of the exchange notes and the related guarantees may be subject to review under federal or state fraudulent transfer law. If we become a debtor in a case under the United States Bankruptcy Code or encounter other financial difficulty, a court might avoid (that is, cancel) our obligations under the exchange notes. The court might do so if it found that when we issued the exchange notes, (i) we received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration and (ii) we either (1) were rendered insolvent, (2) were left with inadequate capital to conduct our business or (3) believed or reasonably should have believed that we would incur debts beyond our ability to pay. The court could also avoid the exchange notes, without regard to factors (i) and (ii), if it found that we issued the exchange notes with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud our creditors.

        Similarly, if one of our guarantors becomes a debtor in a case under the United States Bankruptcy Code or encounters other financial difficulty, a court might cancel its guarantee if it finds that when such guarantor issued its guarantee (or in some jurisdictions, when payments became due under the guarantee), factors (i) and (ii) above applied to such guarantor, such guarantor was a defendant in an action for money damages or had a judgment for money damages docketed against it (if, in either case, after final judgment the judgment is unsatisfied), or if it found that such guarantor issued its guarantee with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors.

        In addition, a court could avoid any payment by us or any guarantor pursuant to the exchange notes or a guarantee or any realization on the pledge of assets securing the exchange notes or the guarantees, and require the return of any payment or the return of any realized value to us or the guarantor, as the case may be, or to a fund for the benefit of the creditors of us or the guarantor. In addition, under the circumstances described above, a court could subordinate rather than avoid obligations under the exchange notes, the guarantees or the pledges. If the court were to avoid any guarantee, we cannot assure you that funds would be available to pay the exchange notes from another guarantor or from any other source.

        The test for determining solvency for purposes of the foregoing will vary depending on the law of the jurisdiction being applied. In general, a court would consider an entity insolvent either if the sum of its existing debts exceeds the fair value of all of its property, or its assets' present fair saleable value is less than the amount required to pay the probable liability on its existing debts as they become due. For this analysis, "debts" includes contingent and unliquidated debts.

35


Table of Contents

        The indenture governing the exchange notes limits the liability of each guarantor on its guarantee to the maximum amount that such guarantor can incur without risk that its guarantee will be subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer. We cannot assure you that this limitation will protect such guarantees from fraudulent transfer challenges or, if it does, that the remaining amount due and collectible under the guarantees would suffice, if necessary, to pay the exchange notes in full when due. In a recent Florida bankruptcy case, this kind of provision was found to be ineffective to protect the guarantees.

        If a court avoided our obligations under the exchange notes and the obligations of all of the guarantors under their guarantees, you would cease to be our creditor or creditor of the guarantors and likely have no source from which to recover amounts due under the exchange notes. Even if the guarantee of a guarantor is not avoided as a fraudulent transfer, a court may subordinate the guarantee to that guarantor's other debt. In that event, the guarantees would be structurally subordinated to all of that guarantor's other debt.

If we default on our obligations to pay our indebtedness, we may not be able to make payments on the exchange notes.

        Any default under the agreements governing our indebtedness, including a default under our revolving credit facility, that is not waived by the required lenders, and the remedies sought by the holders of such indebtedness, could prevent us from paying principal, premium, if any, and interest on the exchange notes and substantially decrease the market value of the exchange notes. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow and are otherwise unable to obtain funds necessary to meet required payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness, or if we otherwise fail to comply with the various covenants, including financial and operating covenants, in the instruments governing our indebtedness (including covenants in the agreement governing our revolving credit facility and the indenture governing the exchange notes), we could be in default under the terms of the agreements governing such indebtedness. In the event of such default, the holders of such indebtedness could elect to declare all the funds borrowed thereunder to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest, the lenders under our revolving credit facility could elect to terminate their commitments thereunder, cease making further loans and institute foreclosure proceedings against our assets. An event of default and foreclosure under the revolving credit facility could result in an event of default under our other debt instruments, including the exchange notes. In that event, we may not have sufficient assets to repay all of our obligations, including the exchange notes, and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

We are a holding company and depend upon the earnings of our subsidiaries to make payments on the exchange notes.

        We are a holding company and conduct all of our operations through our subsidiaries. All of our operating income is generated by our operating subsidiaries. We must rely on dividends and other advances and transfers of funds from our subsidiaries, and earnings from our investments in cash and marketable securities, to provide the funds necessary to meet our debt service obligations, including payment of principal and interest on the exchange notes. Although we are the sole stockholder, directly or indirectly, of each of our operating subsidiaries and therefore able to control their respective declarations of dividends, applicable laws may prevent our operating subsidiaries from being able to pay such dividends. In addition, such payments may be restricted by claims against our subsidiaries by their creditors, such as suppliers, vendors, lessors, and employees, and by any applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, or similar laws applicable to our operating subsidiaries. The availability of funds, and therefore the ability of our operating subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments or advances to us, will depend upon their operating results.

Table of Contents

Sales of assets by us or the guarantors could reduce the pool of assets securing the exchange notes and the guarantees.

        The security documents relating to the exchange notes allow us and the guarantors to remain in possession of, retain exclusive control over, freely operate and collect and invest and dispose of any income from, the collateral securing the exchange notes. To the extent we sell any assets that constitute such collateral, the proceeds from such sale will be subject to the liens securing the exchange notes only to the extent such proceeds would otherwise constitute "collateral" securing the exchange notes and the subsidiary guarantees under the security documents, and will also be subject to the security interest of creditors other than the holders of the exchange notes, some of which may be senior or prior to the second-priority liens held by the holders of the exchange notes, such as the lenders under our revolving credit facility, who have a first-priority lien in such collateral. To the extent the proceeds from any such sale of collateral do not constitute "collateral" under the security documents, the pool of assets securing the exchange notes and the guarantees would be reduced and the exchange notes and the guarantees would not be secured by such proceeds.

The exchange notes will be secured only to the extent of the value of the assets having been granted as security for the exchange notes, which may not be sufficient to satisfy our obligations under the exchange notes.

        No appraisals of any of the collateral have been prepared by us or on behalf of us in connection with this offering. The fair market value of the collateral is subject to fluctuations based on factors that include, among others, our ability to implement our business strategy, the ability to sell the collateral in an orderly sale, general economic conditions, the availability of buyers and similar factors. In addition, courts could limit recovery if they deem a portion of the interest claim usurious in violation of public policy. The amount to be received upon the sale of any collateral would be dependent on numerous factors, including the actual fair market value of the collateral at such time, general market and economic conditions and the timing and the manner of the sale.

        To the extent that the claims of the holders of the exchange notes exceed the value of the assets securing those exchange notes and other liabilities, those claims will rank equally with the claims of the holders of any outstanding unsecured indebtedness. As a result, if the value of the assets pledged as security for the exchange notes and other liabilities is less than the value of the claims of the holders of the exchange notes and other liabilities, those claims may not be satisfied in full before the claims of our unsecured creditors are paid.

The rights of holders of the exchange notes with respect to the collateral are substantially limited by the terms of the intercreditor agreement.

        Under the terms of the intercreditor agreement, which was entered into between the collateral agent for the exchange notes and the agent under our revolving credit facility, at any time that obligations that have the benefit of the first-priority liens on the collateral securing the exchange notes are outstanding, any action that may be taken by the collateral agent with respect to the collateral securing the exchange notes, including the ability to cause the commencement of enforcement proceedings against the collateral and to control the conduct of such proceedings, is significantly restricted. Under the terms of the intercreditor agreement, the collateral agent for the exchange notes may exercise rights and remedies with respect to the collateral only after the passage of a period of 135 days from the first date on which it has notified the agent under our revolving credit facility that an event of default has occurred and the repayment of all the principal amount under the exchange notes has been demanded. After the passage of the 135-day period, the collateral agent for the exchange notes will only be permitted to exercise remedies to the extent that the agent or a secured party under our revolving credit facility is not diligently pursuing the exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to a material portion of the collateral. The intercreditor agreement provides that, at any time that obligations that have the benefit of the first-priority liens on the collateral are outstanding,

37


Table of Contents


the collateral agent for the exchange notes may not assert any right of marshalling that may be available under applicable law with respect to the collateral. Without this waiver of the right of marshalling, holders of indebtedness secured by first-priority liens in the collateral would likely be required to liquidate collateral on which the exchange notes did not have a lien, if any, prior to liquidating the collateral securing the exchange notes, thereby maximizing the proceeds of the collateral that would be available to repay obligations under the exchange notes. As a result of this waiver, the proceeds of sales of the collateral securing the exchange notes could be applied to repay any indebtedness secured by first-priority liens in such collateral before applying proceeds of other collateral securing indebtedness, and the holders of exchange notes may recover less than they would have if such proceeds were applied in the order most favorable to the holders of the exchange notes.

We may not be able to satisfy our obligations to holders of the exchange notes upon a change of control or sale of assets.

        Upon the occurrence of a change of control, as defined in the indenture governing the exchange notes, we will be required to offer to purchase the exchange notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of such exchange notes, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, to the date of purchase. See "Description of Exchange Notes—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control."

        Upon the occurrence of certain asset sales, as defined in the indenture governing the exchange notes, we may be required to offer to purchase the exchange notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such exchange notes, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, to the date of purchase. See "Description of Exchange Notes—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales."

        If we are required to purchase exchange notes pursuant to a change of control offer or asset sale offer, we may not have available funds sufficient to pay the change of control purchase price or asset sale purchase price for any or all of the exchange notes that might be delivered by holders of the exchange notes seeking to accept the change of control offer or asset sale offer. In such event, we would be required to seek third-party financing to the extent we do not have available funds to meet our purchase obligations. We may not be able to obtain such financing on acceptable terms to us or at all. Accordingly, none of the holders of the exchange notes may receive the change of control purchase price or asset sale purchase price for their exchange notes. Our failure to make or consummate the change of control offer or asset sale offer, or to pay the change of control purchase price or asset sale purchase price when due, would constitute an event of default under the indenture governing the exchange notes.

        In addition, the terms of the agreement governing the revolving credit facility may restrict or prohibit us from making a change of control offer or asset sale offer. Moreover, the events that constitute a change of control or asset sale under the indenture may also constitute events of default under our revolving credit facility. These events may permit the lenders under our revolving credit facility to accelerate the debt outstanding thereunder and, if such debt is not paid, to enforce security interests in our specified assets, thereby limiting our ability to raise cash to purchase the exchange notes and reducing the practical benefit of the offer-to-purchase provisions to the holders of the exchange notes.

There are circumstances other than repayment or discharge of the exchange notes under which the collateral securing the exchange notes and the subsidiary guarantees will be released automatically, without your consent or the consent of the collateral agent for the exchange notes, and you may not realize any payment upon disposition of such collateral.

        Subject to certain exceptions, in the event of any release permitted or consented to under our revolving credit facility, the liens on the collateral securing the exchange notes will be automatically

38


Table of Contents


released. See "Description of Exchange Notes—Collateral—Intercreditor Agreement." In addition, upon certain sales of the assets that comprise the collateral, we may be required to repay amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility prior to repayment of any other indebtedness, including the exchange notes, with the proceeds of such collateral disposition.

Rights of holders of the exchange notes in the collateral may be adversely affected by bankruptcy proceedings.

        The right of the collateral agent for the exchange notes to repossess and dispose of the collateral securing the exchange notes and the guarantees upon acceleration is likely to be significantly impaired by federal bankruptcy law if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced by or against us or our restricted subsidiaries that provide security for the exchange notes or guarantees prior to, or possibly even after, the collateral agent has repossessed and disposed of the collateral. Under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, a secured creditor, such as the collateral agent for the exchange notes, is prohibited from repossessing its security from a debtor in a bankruptcy case, or from disposing of security repossessed from a debtor, without bankruptcy court approval. Moreover, bankruptcy law permits the debtor to continue to retain and to use collateral, and the proceeds, products, rents or profits of the collateral, even though the debtor is in default under the applicable debt instruments, provided that the secured creditor is given "adequate protection." The meaning of the term "adequate protection" may vary according to circumstances, but it is intended in general to protect the value of the secured creditor's interest in the collateral and may include cash payments or the granting of additional security, if and at such time as the court in its discretion determines, for any diminution in the value of the collateral as a result of the stay of repossession or disposition or any use of the collateral by the debtor during the pendency of the bankruptcy case. In view of the broad discretionary powers of a bankruptcy court, it is impossible to predict how long payments under the exchange notes or any guarantees could be delayed following commencement of a bankruptcy case, whether or when the collateral agent would repossess or dispose of the collateral, or whether or to what extent holders of the exchange notes would be compensated for any delay in payment or loss of value of the collateral through the requirements of "adequate protection." Furthermore, in the event the bankruptcy court determines that the value of the collateral is not sufficient to repay all amounts due on the exchange notes, the holders of the exchange notes would have "undersecured claims" as to the difference. Federal bankruptcy laws do not permit the payment or accrual of interest, costs and attorneys' fees for "undersecured claims" during the debtor's bankruptcy case.

In the event of our bankruptcy, holders of the exchange notes may be deemed to have an unsecured claim to the extent that our obligations in respect of the exchange notes exceed the fair market value of the collateral securing the exchange notes.

        In any bankruptcy proceeding with respect to us or any of the guarantors, it is possible that the bankruptcy trustee, the debtor-in-possession or competing creditors will assert that the fair market value of the collateral with respect to the exchange notes on the date of the bankruptcy filing was less than the then current principal amount of the exchange notes. Upon a finding by the bankruptcy court that the exchange notes are under-collateralized, the claims in the bankruptcy proceeding with respect to the exchange notes would be bifurcated between a secured claim and an unsecured claim, and the unsecured claim would not be entitled to the benefits of security in the collateral. In such event, the secured claims of the holders of the exchange notes would be limited to the value of the collateral.

        Other consequences of a finding of under-collateralization would be, among other things, a lack of entitlement on the part of the holders of the exchange notes to receive post-petition interest and a lack of entitlement on the part of the unsecured portion of the exchange notes to receive other "adequate protection" under federal bankruptcy laws. In addition, if any payments of post-petition interest had been made at the time of such a finding of under-collateralization, those payments could be

39


Table of Contents


recharacterized by the bankruptcy court as a reduction of the principal amount of the secured claim with respect to the exchange notes.

Any future pledge of collateral might be avoidable by a trustee in bankruptcy.

        Any future pledge of, or security interest or lien granted on, collateral in favor of the collateral agent might be avoidable by the pledgor (as debtor in possession) or by its trustee in bankruptcy if certain events or circumstances exist or occur, including, among others, if the pledgor is insolvent at the time of the pledge, the pledge permits the holders of the exchange notes to receive a greater recovery than if the pledge had not been given and/or there is a pending bankruptcy proceeding in respect of the pledgor.

Rights of holders of the exchange notes in the collateral may be adversely affected by the failure to perfect security interests in certain collateral acquired in the future.

        The collateral securing the exchange notes and the guarantees includes substantially all of our and the guarantors' tangible and intangible assets that secure our indebtedness under our revolving credit facility, whether now owned or acquired or arising in the future. If additional subsidiaries are formed or acquired that are required to guarantee the exchange notes pursuant to the terms of the indenture, additional financing statements would be required to be filed to perfect the security interest in the assets of such subsidiaries. Depending on the type of the assets constituting after-acquired collateral, additional action may be required to be taken by the collateral agent for the exchange notes, or the collateral agent for our revolving credit facility, to perfect the security interest in such assets, such as the delivery of physical collateral, the execution of account control agreements or the execution and recordation of mortgages or deeds of trust. Applicable law requires that certain property and rights acquired after the grant of a general security interest can only be perfected at the time such property and rights are acquired and identified. There can be no assurance that the trustee or the collateral agent will monitor, or that we will inform the trustee or the collateral agent of, the future acquisition of property and rights that constitute collateral, and that the necessary action will be taken to properly perfect the security interest in such after-acquired collateral. The collateral agent for the exchange notes and the collateral agent for our revolving credit facility have no obligation to monitor the acquisition of additional property or rights that constitute collateral or the perfection of any security interests therein. Such failure may result in the loss of the security interest therein or the priority of the security interest in favor of the exchange notes and the guarantees against third parties.

The collateral is subject to casualty risks.

        We maintain insurance or otherwise insure against hazards in a manner that we believe is appropriate and customary for our business. There are, however, certain losses that may be either uninsurable or not economically insurable, in whole or in part. Insurance proceeds may not compensate us fully for our losses. If there is a complete or partial loss of any of the pledged collateral, the insurance proceeds may not be sufficient to satisfy all of the secured obligations, including the exchange notes and the subsidiary guarantees.

There is no established trading market for the exchange notes, and you may not be able to sell them quickly or at the price that you paid.

        The exchange notes are a new issue of securities. There is no active public trading market for the exchange notes. We do not intend to apply for listing of the exchange notes on a security exchange or to arrange for quotation on any automated dealer quotation system. The initial purchaser has advised us that it intends to make a market in the exchange notes, but the initial purchaser is not obligated to do so. The initial purchaser may discontinue any market making in the exchange notes at any time, in

40


Table of Contents


its sole discretion. As a result, we cannot assure you as to the liquidity of any trading market for the exchange notes.

        We also cannot assure you that you will be able to sell your exchange notes at a particular time or that the prices that you receive when you sell will be favorable. Future trading prices of the exchange notes will depend on many factors, including:

    our operating performance and financial condition;

    the interest of securities dealers in making a market; and

    the market for similar securities.

        Historically, the market for non-investment grade debt has been subject to disruptions that have caused volatility in prices. It is possible that the market for the exchange notes will be subject to disruptions. Any disruptions may have a negative effect on holders of the exchange notes, regardless of our prospects and financial performance.

USE OF PROCEEDS

        We will not receive any proceeds from the exchange offer. Because we are exchanging the exchange notes for the private notes, which have substantially identical terms, the issuance of the exchange notes will not result in any increase in our indebtedness. The exchange offer is intended to satisfy our obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.

On May 13, 2010, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Oncure Medical entered into a revolving credit facility that provides for borrowing capacity in an initial amount of up to $40.0 million of revolving credit borrowings, which may be increased pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the notes and the agreement governing the revolving credit facility. As of the date of this filing, the revolving credit facility was undrawn. See "Description of Certain Indebtedness".

THE EXCHANGE OFFER

Purpose of the Exchange Offer

        Simultaneously with the issuance and sale of the private notes on May 13, 2010, we and the guarantors entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the initial purchaser of the private notes. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, we, among other things, are required to:

    file one or more registration statements no later than 270 days after the closing of the offering of the private notes, enabling holders of the private notes to exchange their unregistered notes for registered, publicly tradable notes with substantially identical terms;

    cause the registration statement to become effective within 330 days after the closing of the offering of the private notes;

    consummate the exchange offer within 30 business days after the registration statement is required to be declared effective; and

    file a shelf registration statement for the resale of the private notes if we cannot effect the exchange offer within the time periods listed above.

        We are conducting the exchange offer to satisfy these obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.

        Under some circumstances, we may be required to file and use our commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective by the SEC, in addition to or in lieu of the exchange offer registration statement, a shelf registration statement covering resales of the private notes. If we fail to meet specified deadlines under the Registration Rights Agreement, then we will be obligated to pay liquidated damages to holders of the private notes in the amount of a 0.25% per annum increase in the annual interest rate borne by the notes for the first 90-day period following such failure (which interest rate will increase by 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period, up to a maximum additional rate of 1.0% per annum) until such failure is cured. See "Description of Exchange Notes—Registration Rights." A copy of the Registration Rights Agreement has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and the summary of the material provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete Registration Rights Agreement.

Terms of the Exchange Offer

        We are offering to exchange an aggregate principal amount of up to $210.0 million of exchange notes and guarantees thereof for a like aggregate principal amount of private notes and guarantees thereof. The form and the terms of the exchange notes are identical in all material respects to the form and the terms of the private notes except that the exchange notes will have been registered under the Securities Act and will not be subject to restrictions on transfer under the Securities Act.

        The exchange notes evidence the same debt as the private notes exchanged for the exchange notes and will be entitled to the benefits of the same indenture under which the private notes were issued, which is governed by New York law. For a complete description of the terms of the exchange notes, see "Description of Exchange Notes." We will not receive any cash proceeds from the exchange offer.

        The exchange offer is not extended to holders of private notes in any jurisdiction where the exchange offer would not comply with the securities or blue sky laws of that jurisdiction.

        As of the date of this prospectus, $210.0 million aggregate principal amount of private notes is outstanding and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. Only registered holders of the private notes, or their legal representatives and attorneys-in-fact, as reflected on the records of the trustee under the indenture, may participate in the exchange offer. We will not set a fixed record

44


Table of Contents


date for determining registered holders of the private notes entitled to participate in the exchange offer. This prospectus, together with the letter of transmittal, is being sent to all registered holders of private notes and to others believed to have beneficial interests in the private notes.

        Upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in this prospectus and in the accompanying letter of transmittal, we will accept for exchange private notes which are properly tendered on or before the expiration date and not withdrawn as permitted below. As used in this section of the prospectus entitled, "The Exchange Offer," the term "expiration date" means 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                        , 2010. If, however, we, in our sole discretion, extend the period of time for which the exchange offer is open, the term "expiration date" means the latest time and date to which the exchange offer is so extended. Private notes tendered in the exchange offer must be in denominations of the principal amount of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

        If you do not tender your private notes or if you tender private notes that are not accepted for exchange, your private notes will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest absent any rights under the Registration Rights Agreement. Existing transfer restrictions would continue to apply to private notes that remain outstanding. See "—Consequences of Failure to Exchange Private Notes" and "Risk Factors—If you do not properly tender your private notes, you will continue to hold unregistered private notes and your ability to transfer those private notes will be restricted." for more information regarding private notes outstanding after the exchange offer. Holders of the private notes do not have any appraisal or dissenters' rights in connection with the exchange offer.

        Neither we, our board of directors or our management, nor the guarantors, their respective boards of directors or their management, nor the exchange agent nor the trustee for the private and exchange notes recommends that you tender or not tender private notes in the exchange offer or has authorized anyone to make any recommendation. You must decide whether to tender private notes in the exchange offer and, if you decide to tender, the aggregate amount of private notes to tender. We intend to conduct the exchange offer in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Exchange Act.

        We have the right, in our reasonable discretion and in accordance with applicable law, at any time:

    to extend the expiration date;

    to delay the acceptance of any private notes or to terminate the exchange offer and not accept any private notes for exchange if we determine that any of the conditions to the exchange offer described below under "—Conditions to the Exchange Offer" have not occurred or have not been satisfied; and

    to amend the terms of the exchange offer in any manner.

        During an extension, all private notes previously tendered will remain subject to the exchange offer and may be accepted for exchange by us.

        We will give oral (promptly confirmed in writing) or written notice of any extension, delay, non-acceptance, termination or amendment to the exchange agent as promptly as practicable and make a public announcement of the extension, delay, non-acceptance, termination or amendment. In the case of an extension, the announcement will be made no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date.

        If we amend the exchange offer in a manner that we consider material, we will as promptly as practicable distribute to the holders of the private notes a prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, an updated prospectus from a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part disclosing the change and extending the exchange offer for a period of five to ten business days, depending upon the significance of the amendment of the exchange offer and the

45


Table of Contents


manner of disclosure to the registered holders, if the exchange offer would otherwise expire during the five to ten business day period.

Procedures for Tendering Private Notes

Valid Tender

        Only a holder of private notes may tender private notes in the exchange offer. Your tender, if not withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date and if accepted by us, will constitute a binding agreement between us and you upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and the accompanying letter of transmittal.

        Except as described below under "—Guaranteed Delivery," if you wish to tender your private notes for exchange, you must, on or prior to the close of business on the expiration date:

    transmit a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, together with all other documents required by the letter of transmittal, to the exchange agent at the address provided below under "—Exchange Agent"; or

    if private notes are tendered in accordance with the book-entry procedures described below under "—Book-Entry Transfers," arrange with DTC to cause an agent's message to be transmitted to the exchange agent at the address provided below under "—Exchange Agent."

        The term "agent's message" means a message transmitted to the exchange agent by DTC which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment that the tendering holder agrees to be bound by the letter of transmittal and that we and the guarantors may enforce the letter of transmittal against that holder.

        In addition, on or prior to the expiration date:

    the exchange agent must receive the certificates for the private notes being tendered;

    the exchange agent must receive a confirmation, referred to as a "book-entry confirmation," of the book-entry transfer of the private notes being tendered into the exchange agent's account at DTC, and the book-entry confirmation must include an agent's message; or

    you must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below under "—Guaranteed Delivery."

        If you beneficially own private notes and those notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee or custodian and you wish to tender your private notes in the exchange offer, you should contact the registered holder as soon as possible and instruct it to tender the private notes on your behalf and comply with the instructions set forth in this prospectus and the letter of transmittal.

        The method of delivery of the certificates for the private notes, the letter of transmittal and all other required documents is at your election and risk. If delivery is by mail, we recommend registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, or overnight delivery service. In all cases, you should allow sufficient time to assure delivery to the exchange agent on or before the expiration date. Delivery is complete when the exchange agent actually receives the items to be delivered. Delivery of documents to DTC in accordance with DTC's procedures does not constitute delivery to the exchange agent. Do not send letters of transmittal or private notes to us or any guarantor.

        We will not accept any alternative, conditional or contingent tenders. Each tendering holder, by execution of a letter of transmittal or by causing the transmission of an agent's message, waives any right to receive any notice of the acceptance of such tender.

Signature Guarantees

        Signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, must be guaranteed by an "Eligible Guarantor Institution" within the meaning of Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act unless the private notes surrendered for exchange are tendered:

    by a registered holder of private notes who has not completed the box entitled "Special Issuance Instructions" or "Special Delivery Instructions" on the letter of transmittal; or

    for the account of an eligible institution.

        An "eligible institution" is a firm or other entity which is identified as an "Eligible Guarantor Institution" in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act, including:

    a bank;

    a broker, dealer, municipal securities broker or dealer or government securities broker or dealer;

    a credit union;

    a national securities exchange, registered securities association or clearing agency; or

    a savings association.

        If signatures on a letter of transmittal or notice of withdrawal are required to be guaranteed, the guarantor must be an eligible institution.

        If private notes are registered in the name of a person other than the signer of the letter of transmittal, the private notes surrendered for exchange must be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer or exchange, in satisfactory form as determined by us and the guarantors in our sole discretion, duly executed by the registered holder with the holder's signature guaranteed by an eligible institution, and must also be accompanied by such opinions of counsel, certifications and other information as we and the guarantors or the trustee under the indenture for the private notes may require in accordance with the restrictions on transfer applicable to the private notes.

Book-Entry Transfers

        For tenders by book-entry transfer of private notes cleared through DTC, the exchange agent will make a request to establish an account at DTC for purposes of the exchange offer. Any financial institution that is a DTC participant may make book-entry delivery of private notes by causing DTC to transfer the private notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC in accordance with DTC's procedures for transfer. The exchange agent and DTC have confirmed that any financial institution that is a participant in DTC may use the Automated Tender Offer Program, or ATOP, procedures to tender private notes. Accordingly, any participant in DTC may make book-entry delivery of private notes by causing DTC to transfer those private notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC in accordance with DTC's ATOP procedures.

        Notwithstanding the ability of holders of private notes to effect delivery of private notes through book-entry transfer at DTC, either:

    the letter of transmittal or an agent's message in lieu of the letter of transmittal, with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents, such as endorsements, bond powers, opinions of counsel, certifications and powers of attorney, if applicable, must be transmitted to and received by the exchange agent on or prior to the expiration date at the address given below under "—Exchange Agent"; or

    the guaranteed delivery procedures described below must be complied with.

47


Table of Contents

Guaranteed Delivery

        If you elect to tender your private notes and (i) your private notes are not immediately available or (ii) you cannot deliver the private notes, the letter of transmittal or other required documents to the exchange agent on or prior the expiration date, you must tender your private notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in the prospectus. You may have such tender effected if:

    the tender is made by or through an eligible institution;

    prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date, the exchange agent has received from such eligible institution a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, setting forth the name and address of the holder, the certificate number(s) of such private notes and the principal amount of private notes tendered for exchange, stating that tender is being made thereby and guaranteeing that, within three NASDAQ trading days after the date of execution of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, the letter of transmittal (or facsimile thereof), together with the certificate(s) representing such private notes (or a book entry confirmation and an Agent's message), in proper form for transfer, and any other documents required by the letter of transmittal, will be deposited by such eligible institution with the Exchange Agent; and

    a properly executed letter of transmittal (or facsimile thereof), as well as the certificate(s) for all tendered private notes in proper form for transfer or a book-entry confirmation and an Agent's message, together with any other documents required by the letter of transmittal, are received by the Exchange Agent within three NASDAQ trading days after the date of execution of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.

Determination of Validity

        We, in our sole discretion, will resolve all questions regarding the form of documents, validity, eligibility, including time of receipt, and acceptance for exchange of any tendered private notes. The determination of these questions by us, as well as our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer, including the letter of transmittal, will be final and binding on all parties. A tender of private notes is invalid until all defects and irregularities have been cured or waived. Holders must cure any defects and irregularities in connection with tenders of private notes for exchange within such reasonable period of time as we and the guarantors will determine, unless they waive the defects or irregularities. None of us, any of our respective affiliates or assigns, the exchange agent or any other person is under any obligation to give notice of any defects or irregularities in tenders, nor will any of them be liable for failing to give any such notice.

        We reserve the absolute right, in our sole and absolute discretion:

    to reject any tenders determined to be in improper form or unlawful;

    to waive any of the conditions of the exchange offer; and

    to waive any condition or irregularity in the tender of private notes by any holder, whether or not we waive similar conditions or irregularities in the case of other holders.

        If any letter of transmittal, certificate, endorsement, bond power, power of attorney, or any other document required by the letter of transmittal is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, that person must indicate such capacity when signing. In addition, unless waived by us, the person must submit proper evidence satisfactory to us, in our sole discretion, of the person's authority to so act.

Table of Contents

Acceptance of Private Notes for Exchange; Delivery of Exchange Notes

        Upon satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to the exchange offer, we will, promptly after the expiration date, accept all private notes properly tendered and issue exchange notes registered under the Securities Act. See "—Conditions to the Exchange Offer" for a discussion of the conditions that must be satisfied or waived before private notes are accepted for exchange. The exchange agent might not deliver the exchange notes to all tendering holders at the same time. The timing of delivery depends upon when the exchange agent receives and processes the required documents.

        For purposes of the exchange offer, we will be deemed to have accepted properly tendered private notes for exchange when we give oral or written notice to the exchange agent of acceptance of the tendered private notes, with written confirmation of any oral notice to be given promptly thereafter. The exchange agent is our agent for receiving tenders of private notes, letters of transmittal and related documents.

        For each private note accepted for exchange, the holder will receive an exchange note registered under the Securities Act having a principal amount equal to, and in the denomination of, that of the surrendered private note. Accordingly, registered holders of exchange notes issued in the exchange offer on the relevant record date for the first interest payment date following the consummation of the exchange offer will receive interest accruing from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on the private notes. Private notes accepted for exchange will cease to accrue interest from and after the date of consummation of the exchange offer.

        In all cases, we will issue exchange notes in the exchange offer for private notes that are accepted for exchange only after the exchange agent timely receives:

    certificates for those private notes or a timely book-entry confirmation of the transfer of those private notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC;

    a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal or an agent's message; and

    all other required documents, such as endorsements, bond powers, opinions of counsel, certifications and powers of attorney, if applicable.

        If for any reason under the terms and conditions of the exchange offer we do not accept any tendered private notes, or if a holder submits private notes for a greater principal amount than the holder desires to exchange, we will return the unaccepted or non-exchanged private notes without cost to the tendering holder promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer. In the case of private notes tendered by book-entry transfer through DTC, any unexchanged private notes will be credited to an account maintained with DTC.

Resales of Exchange Notes

        Based on interpretive letters issued by the SEC staff to other, unrelated issuers in transactions similar to the exchange offer, we believe that a holder of exchange notes, other than a broker-dealer, may offer exchange notes (together with the guarantees thereof) for resale, resell and otherwise transfer the exchange notes (and the related guarantees) without delivering a prospectus to prospective purchasers, if the holder acquired the exchange notes in the ordinary course of business, has no intention of engaging in a "distribution," as defined under the Securities Act, of the exchange notes and is not an "affiliate," as defined under the Securities Act, of ours or any guarantor. We will not seek our own interpretive letter. As a result, we cannot assure you that the SEC staff would take the same position with respect to this exchange offer as it did in interpretive letters to other parties in similar transactions.

        If the holder is an affiliate of ours or any guarantor or is engaged in, or intends to engage in, or has an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of the exchange

49


Table of Contents


notes, that holder or other person may not rely on the applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC and must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction.

        By tendering private notes, you will represent to us and the guarantors that, among other things:

    you are not an "affiliate," as defined under Rule 405 under the Securities Act, of us or any guarantor;

    you are acquiring the exchange notes in your ordinary course of business;

    you are not engaged in, do not intend to engage in and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of the exchange notes within the meaning of the Securities Act; and

    you are not acting on behalf of any person who could not truthfully make the foregoing representations.

        Any broker-dealer that holds private notes acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities (other than private notes acquired directly from us) may exchange those private notes pursuant to the exchange offer; however, such broker-dealer may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resales of the exchange notes received by such broker-dealer in the exchange offer. To date, the SEC has taken the position that broker-dealers may use a prospectus such as this one to fulfill their prospectus delivery requirements with respect to resales of exchange notes received in an exchange such as the exchange pursuant to the exchange offer, if the private notes for which the exchange notes were received in the exchange were acquired for their own accounts as a result of market-making or other trading activities. Any profit on these resales of exchange notes and any commissions or concessions received by a broker-dealer in connection with these resales may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. See "Plan of Distribution and Selling Restrictions" for a discussion of the exchange and resale obligations of broker-dealers in connection with the exchange offer and the exchange notes.

Withdrawal Rights

        You can withdraw tenders of private notes at any time prior to the expiration date. For a withdrawal to be effective, you must deliver a written notice of withdrawal to the exchange agent or comply with the appropriate procedures of ATOP. Any notice of withdrawal must:

    specify the name of the person that tendered the private notes to be withdrawn;

    identify the private notes to be withdrawn, including the principal amount of such private notes;

    include a signed statement that you are withdrawing your election to have your securities exchanged; and

    where certificates for private notes are transmitted, include the name of the registered holder of the private notes if different from the person withdrawing the private notes.

        If you delivered or otherwise identified certificated private notes to the exchange agent, you must submit the serial numbers of the private notes to be withdrawn and the signature on the notice of withdrawal must be guaranteed by an eligible institution, except in the case of private notes tendered for the account of an eligible institution. See "The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Private Notes—Signature Guarantees" for further information on the requirements for guarantees of signatures on notices of withdrawal. If you tendered private notes in accordance with applicable book-entry

50


Table of Contents

transfer procedures, the notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited with the withdrawn private notes and you must deliver the notice of withdrawal to the exchange agent. You may not rescind withdrawals of tender; however, private notes properly withdrawn may again be tendered at any time on or prior to the expiration date in accordance with the procedures described under "The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Private Notes."

        We will determine, in our sole discretion, all questions regarding the validity, form and eligibility, including time of receipt, of notices of withdrawal. Their determination of these questions as well as their interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer (including the letter of transmittal) will be final and binding on all parties. None of we, any of our respective affiliates or assigns, the exchange agent or any other person is under any obligation to give notice of any irregularities in any notice of withdrawal, nor will any of them be liable for failing to give any such notice.

        Withdrawn private notes will be returned to the holder as promptly as practicable after withdrawal without cost to the holder. In the case of private notes tendered by book-entry transfer through DTC, the private notes withdrawn will be credited to an account maintained with DTC.

Conditions to the Exchange Offer

        Notwithstanding any other provision of the exchange offer, we are not required to accept for exchange, or to issue exchange notes in exchange for, any private notes, and we may terminate or amend the exchange offer if, at any time prior to the expiration date, we determine that the exchange offer violates applicable law, any applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC or any order of any governmental agency or court of competent jurisdiction.

        The foregoing conditions are for our sole benefit, and we may assert them regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any such condition, or we may waive the conditions, completely or partially, whenever or as many times as we choose, in our sole discretion. The foregoing rights are not deemed waived because we fail to exercise them, but continue in effect, and we may still assert them whenever or as many times as we choose. If we determine that a waiver of conditions materially changes the exchange offer, the prospectus will be amended or supplemented, and the exchange offer extended, if appropriate, as described under "—Terms of the Exchange Offer."

        In addition, at a time when any stop order is threatened or in effect with respect to the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part or with respect to the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, we will not accept for exchange any private notes tendered, and no exchange notes will be issued in exchange for any such private notes.

        If we are not permitted to consummate the exchange offer because the exchange offer is not permitted by applicable law, any applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC or any order of any governmental agency or court of competent jurisdiction, the Registration Rights Agreement requires that we file a shelf registration statement to cover resales of the private notes by the holders thereof who satisfy specified conditions relating to the provision of information in connection with the shelf registration statement. See "Description of Exchange Notes—Registration Rights."

Exchange Agent

        We have appointed Wilmington Trust FSB as exchange agent for the exchange offer. You should direct questions and requests for assistance with respect to exchange offer procedures, requests for additional copies of this prospectus or of the letter of transmittal and requests for notices of guaranteed delivery to the exchange agent. Holders of private notes seeking to (1) tender private notes in the exchange offer should send certificates for private notes, letters of transmittal and any other required documents and/or (2) withdraw such tendered private notes should send such required

documentation (in accordance with the procedures described under "The Exchange Offer—Withdrawal Rights") to the exchange agent by hand-delivery, registered or certified first-class mail (return receipt requested), telecopier or any courier guaranteeing overnight delivery, as follows:

        If you deliver the letter of transmittal or any other required documents to an address or facsimile number other than as indicated above, your tender of private notes will be invalid.

Fees and Expenses

        The Registration Rights Agreement provides that we will bear all expenses in connection with the performance of our obligations relating to the registration of the exchange notes and the conduct of the exchange offer. These expenses include registration and filing fees, fees and disbursements of the trustee under the indenture, accounting and legal fees and printing costs, among others. We will pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. We will also reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for customary mailing and handling expenses incurred by them in forwarding this prospectus and related documents to their clients that are holders of private notes and for handling or tendering for those clients.

        We have not retained any dealer-manager in connection with the exchange offer and will not pay any fee or commission to any broker, dealer, nominee or other person, other than the exchange agent, for soliciting tenders of private notes pursuant to the exchange offer.

Transfer Taxes

        Holders who tender their private notes for exchange will not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in connection with the exchange. If, however, exchange notes issued in the exchange offer are to be delivered to, or are to be issued in the name of, any person other than the holder of the private notes tendered, or if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of private notes in connection with the exchange offer, then any such transfer taxes, whether imposed on the registered holder or on any other person, will be payable by the holder or such other person. If satisfactory evidence of payment of, or exemption from, such taxes is not submitted with the letter of transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to the tendering holder.

Accounting Treatment

        The exchange notes will be recorded at the same carrying value as the private notes. Accordingly, we will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting purposes. We intend to record the expenses of this exchange offer as incurred and those associated with the issuance of the private notes over the term of the exchange notes.

Consequences of Failure to Exchange Private Notes

        You do not have any appraisal or dissenters' rights in the exchange offer. Private notes that are not tendered or are tendered but not accepted will, following the consummation of the exchange offer,

52


Table of Contents


remain outstanding and continue to be subject to the provisions in the indenture regarding the transfer and exchange of the private notes and the existing restrictions on transfer set forth in the legends on the private notes. In general, the private notes, unless registered under the Securities Act, may not be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Following the consummation of the exchange offer, except in limited circumstances with respect to specific types of holders of private notes, we and the guarantors will have no further obligation to provide for the registration under the Securities Act of the private notes. See "Description of Exchange Notes—Registration Rights." We do not currently anticipate that we will take any action following the consummation of the exchange offer to register the private notes under the Securities Act or under any state securities laws.

        The exchange notes and any private notes which remain outstanding after consummation of the exchange offer will vote together for all purposes as a single class under the indenture.

Overview

Business Overview

        We are a leading manager of radiation oncology treatment centers for cancer patients. We partner with leading radiation oncology groups and their radiation oncologists to offer cancer patients a comprehensive range of radiation oncology treatment alternatives, including most traditional and next generation services. We provide business services to a network of 14 affiliated physician groups that treat cancer patients at our 37 radiation oncology treatment centers, making us one of the largest, strategically located networks of radiation oncology service providers. We believe that our unique physician partnership business model, market leadership in targeted geographic regions, leading clinical and technological platforms, strong track record of treatment center operating performance and proven and experienced management team provides us with a significant competitive advantage in the radiation therapy market.

        We are one of the largest companies in the United States focused on partnering with radiation oncology groups through management services agreements, or MSAs. Through our MSAs, we manage and administer the non-medical business functions of our treatment centers, such as physician succession planning, technical staff recruiting, marketing, managed care contracting, receivables management, compliance, purchasing, information systems, accounting and human resource management, which allows our physician partners to focus primarily on providing patient care and treatment center growth including expansion of their group's services. We enter into long-term MSAs with established radiation oncology physician groups, which are designed to ensure the physicians' business interests are aligned with our own. We currently partner with 14 affiliated physician groups consisting of approximately 70 physicians, who on average have over 15 years of experience. In compliance with applicable law, our affiliated physician groups and their physicians retain full control over the clinical aspects of patient care in our treatment centers. We believe that we attract and retain leading radiation oncology groups and their physicians largely due to this partnership model, the benefits of scale and our commitment to clinical excellence. By establishing relationships with highly qualified, well-respected radiation oncology groups and their physicians, we believe that we receive ongoing benefits as a result of giving referring physicians and their patients a high level of confidence in the capabilities of our affiliated physician groups.

        We have built a provider network focused on targeted geographic regions and have established leading market positions within these regions. Our network of 37 treatment centers is located in 37

markets and includes 15 treatment centers in California, 18 treatment centers in Florida and four treatment centers in Indiana. We believe we hold the top market share in California and second leading market share in Florida. We believe these two states are two of the most attractive markets in the United States for cancer treatment providers due to the large and growing senior populations and the high incidence of cancer. Our targeted regional focus allows us to build a leading market presence that enables us to drive efficiencies through economies of scale and fixed cost leverage. In addition, we believe our significant position in local markets creates strong barriers to entry.

        We believe that our treatment centers are equipped with leading clinical and technological platforms, which allows our physician partners to provide cancer patients the highest quality of care through clinically advanced treatment options. The early and continual adoption of cutting-edge technology by our physician partners has enabled sharing of this knowledge and best practices across our network quickly to drive superior clinical results. Early adoption and appropriate utilization of these next generation technologies have also resulted in more attractive reimbursement rates for our affiliated physician groups. We believe our clinical and technological platform provides us with a significant competitive advantage in attracting new physician groups and is appealing to referral sources, patients and payors.

        Since our inception, we have built a leading network of radiation oncology treatment centers that has resulted in increased net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth. Since the beginning of 2007, we have acquired 11 new treatment centers. Between fiscal years 2007 to 2009, our net revenue, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA have grown at compounded annual growth rates of 11.6%, 65.2% and 14.0%, respectively through a combination of organic growth and acquisition. We believe that attractive long-term trends in our industry, our unique business model, our clinical excellence and our leading market position differentiates us from our competitors and positions us well for continued future growth.

        For the six months ended June 30, 2010, our net revenue, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA were $48.7 million, $2.6 million and $17.0 million, respectively, compared to $55.1 million, $12.0 million and $20.3 million, respectively, for the same period in 2009. The year-over-year decline in net revenue, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA was principally due to a decrease in patient treatments as a result of broad economic factors and the replacement of linacs at two single linac treatment centers, which caused a temporary closure of one treatment center and reduced IMRT utilization at the second treatment center. In addition, due to the location of one of these treatment centers, we were unable to transfer patients from that temporarily closed center to other of our treatment centers. One of the two centers returned to normal operations in May 2010 and the other returned to normal operations in August 2010.

Our Services

        Radiation oncology treatments are primarily performed with a linear accelerator, or linac, which uses high-energy photons or electrons to destroy the tumor. Courses of treatment typically last from four to nine weeks. In advance of the actual treatments, a typical patient is provided the following services: (i) the patient is examined, counseled and advised of treatment options by a radiation oncologist; (ii) the agreed upon course of treatment is planned by a physicist under the oncologist's direction; (iii) a trained dosimetrist designs and verifies that the treatment plan's radiation dose and targeting are properly calibrated in the software that controls the linac; (iv) a trained radiation therapy technologist assists the patient to, and positions the patient on, the linac and (v) the technologist verifies the planned dose and beam target before delivering the radiation oncology treatment. Through the use of our treatment centers and equipment, our affiliated physician groups offer a wide array of radiation oncology treatments to cancer patients. The radiation oncologists maintain full control over the provision of medical services at our treatment centers while we manage the non-medical business functions, such as physician succession planning, technical staff recruiting, marketing, managed care

contracting, receivables management and compliance, purchasing, information systems, accounting and human resource management. Many of our radiation oncology treatment centers also offer support services designed to enhance the patient experience such as support groups, psychological and nutritional counseling and transportation assistance.

        Each of our treatment centers is designed and equipped to provide a comprehensive array of outpatient programs necessary to treat a cancer patient with radiation therapy. Our treatment centers provide a wide variety of radiation oncology services, including:

    Conventional Beam Therapy, or CBT:  The dominant form of radiation oncology treatment, which results in relatively high radiation exposure with limited precision. CBT enables radiation oncologists to utilize linac machines to direct radiation beams at the tumor location.

    Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy, or IMRT:  Enables radiation oncologists to adjust the intensity of the radiation dose and conform the beam along the entire surface of the tumor. IMRT can also be programmed to angle beams of radiation around normal tissue, thereby sparing healthy organs and reducing side effects.

    Image Guided Radiation Therapy, or IGRT:  Enables radiation oncologists to utilize imaging at the time of treatment to localize tumors and to accurately conform to the contour of a tumor from any angle.

        In addition to the above mentioned therapies, we also offer other advanced services, including:

    Positron Emission Tomography—Computed Tomography, or PET/CT:  Involves the injection of radioactive isotopes into a patient to obtain images of metabolic physiologic processes. The application of PET in the detection of cancer has become significant in the last two years, as it is the first diagnostic procedure that can detect and monitor a patient's metabolic malignancies. PET/CT provides information that is not available with other medical imaging and combines the metabolic cancer cells detection of PET with an anatomical picture of the tumor on a CT.

    High Dose Rate Brachytherapy:  Enables radiation oncologists to treat cancer by internally delivering higher doses of radiation directly to the cancer.

    Simulation, Dosimetry and Three Dimensional Conformal Treatment Planning:  Permits accurate, three-dimensional rendering of the tumor and surrounding normal organs in order to facilitate an efficient treatment plan maximizing radiation exposure of cancerous tissue and minimizing exposure of healthy tissue.

    Prostate Implantation:  Involves the use of palladium and iodine "seeds" and other radioactive implants (radioactive isotopes) in the treatment of prostate cancer while sparing the nearby organs and structures.

    Stereotactic Radiosurgery, or SRS:  Enables delivery of concentrated, precise, high dose radiation beams to localized tumors. Historically, SRS was used primarily for contained lesions of the brain but recent advancements in imaging technologies have allowed more types of tumors to be targeted, therefore broadening the use of stereotactic radiosurgery for extra-cranial cancers.

    Cyber Knife:  A SRS device with a linac mounted on a robotic arm. Through the use of image guidance cameras, the cyber knife system locates the position of the tumor. The linac attached to the robotic arm delivers multiple beams of radiation that converge at the tumor site. Thus, the tumor receives a concentrated dose of radiation while minimizing exposure to surrounding normal tissue. With sub-millimeter accuracy, the cyber knife is used to treat vascular abnormalities, tumors and cancers of the body.

Net Revenue and Expenses

        Net Revenue.    We generate net revenue pursuant to long-term MSAs with affiliated physician groups. Pursuant to these MSAs, we manage and administer the non-medical business functions of our treatment centers, such as physician succession planning, technical staff recruiting, marketing, managed care contracting, receivables management, compliance, purchasing, information systems, accounting and human resource management. In return we earn a management fee based on a fixed percentage of the earnings of each treatment center, with the exception of one MSA in California, under which we earn our management fee based on a fixed percentage of the affiliated physician group's net revenue.

        Operating Expenses.    Our operating expenses consist principally of (i) the salaries and benefits we pay to our employees, including our management, billing and collections staff, administrative staff, marketing group and the professionals and employees working at our treatment centers other than the radiation oncologists; (ii) general and administrative expenses, including maintenance, rent, bad debt expense, utilities, insurance and other expenses for our corporate and administrative offices and treatment centers; and (iii) depreciation and amortization.

Factors Affecting our Growth

        We seek to drive growth by increasing our same-center operating performance, acquiring and developing new treatment centers in both our current and new markets, leveraging our strengths to contract with additional third-party payors on favorable terms, capitalizing on our receivables management expertise to maximize collections and benefitting from payors' increased acceptance of, and reimbursement for, next generation treatment technologies.

Same-Center Growth

        Referral source development, optimizing the utilization of new technologies, more efficient utilization of treatment center resources, a stable reimbursement environment and experienced management have resulted in our ability to maintain our financial performance. We have had success driving same-center growth through our proactive referral marketing programs, further advancements in web-based marketing, targeted physician recruitment and third-party payor negotiations. Our investment in, and implementation of, new state-of-the-art equipment has also helped drive same-center growth.

Acquisitions and Developments

        We expect to continue to acquire and develop treatment centers in connection with the implementation of our growth strategy. Since 2005, we have acquired 23 radiation oncology treatment centers, which are summarized in the following table:

Table of Contents

        On July 1, 2008, the Company acquired the assets of a radiation treatment center in Indiana previously held by ROA Associates, LLP whose financial statements are included herein.

        The operations of the foregoing acquisitions have been included in the accompanying consolidated statements of income from the respective dates of each acquisition. When we acquire a treatment center, the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective values on the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired is allocated to goodwill. We believe the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based on reasonable assumptions. We do not currently have any binding commitments or agreements to make any acquisitions.

Third-Party Contracting

        Our affiliated physician groups receive payments for their services and treatments rendered to patients covered by third-party payors. Most of our affiliated physician groups' revenue from third-party payors is from managed care organizations and is attributable to contracts we have negotiated with them. We believe that the scale of our treatment center network improves our ability to negotiate more attractive agreements with these payors. These agreements specify fixed fees for services provided at our treatment centers, and give the managed care organization the ability to market access to our affiliated physician groups and physicians to their members. This is a benefit to the managed care organization, and also gives our affiliated physician groups access to a larger pool of potential patients.

Receivables Management

        Our affiliated physician groups provide radiation therapy services under a significant number of different professional and technical codes, which determine reimbursement. Our affiliated physician groups rely on us to manage the complex coding, billing and collections process. Fees billed to contracted third-party payors and government sponsored programs are automatically adjusted to the allowable payment amount at the time of billing. For third-party payors with whom we do not have contracts and self-pay patients, the amount we expect will be paid for services is estimated and recorded at the time of billing. We revise these estimates at the time billings are collected for any actual differences in the amount received and the net billings due.

        Our billing office staff expedites the payment process using a number of methods, including electronic inquiries, phone calls and automated letters, which helps to facilitate timely payment by the relevant payor. We routinely prepare aging reports for accounts receivable by date of billing. Our collection team then utilizes these reports to assess and determine the payors requiring additional focus and collection efforts. Our accounts receivable exposure on Medicare, Medicaid and third-party payor balances are largely limited to contractual adjustments. Our exposure to bad debts on balances relating to these types of payors historically has been de minimis.

        In the event of denial of payment, we follow the payor's standard appeals process, both to secure payment and to lobby the payors, as appropriate, to modify their medical policies to expand coverage for the newer and more advanced treatment services that we provide. If all reasonable collection efforts with these payors have been exhausted by our central billing office staff, the account receivable is written off to the contractual allowance.

Sources of our Affiliated Physician Groups' Net Revenue By Payor

        Our affiliated physician groups' net revenue is summarized by payor source in the following table:

 
  Six Months
Ended
June 30,
  Year Ended
December 31,
 
 
  2009   2010   2007   2008   2009  

Third-party payors

    58 %   54 %   49 %   53 %   55 %

Medicare

    37 %   38 %   46 %   42 %   39 %

Medicaid

    4 %   6 %   4 %   4 %   5 %

Self-pay

    1 %   2 %   1 %   1 %   1 %

        Our affiliated physician groups receive payments for their services and treatments rendered to patients covered by Medicare, Medicaid, third-party payors and self-pay. Generally, our affiliated physician groups' net revenue is impacted by a number of factors, including the payor mix, the number and nature of procedures performed and the rate of payment for the procedures.

        Third-Party Payors.    Third-party payors include private health insurance as well as related payments for co-insurance and co-payments. Most of our affiliated physician groups' third-party payor revenue is attributable to contracts where a set fee is negotiated relative to services provided by our treatment centers. We do not have any contracts that individually represent over 5% of our affiliated physician groups' net revenue. Although the terms and conditions of our managed care contracts vary, they are typically for terms of less than five years and provide for automatic renewals. If payments by managed care organizations and other third-party payors decrease then our net revenue and net income could decrease.

        Medicare and Medicaid.    Since cancer disproportionately affects elderly people, a significant portion of our affiliated physician groups' net revenue is derived from the Medicare program as well as related co-payments. Medicare reimbursement rates are determined by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, and are typically lower than our rates to third-party payors and self-pay patients. Further, Medicaid reimbursement rates are typically lower than Medicare rates. Government sponsored programs generally reimburse on a fee-for-service basis based on a predetermined reimbursement rate schedule. Medicare reimbursement rates are determined by a formula that typically changes on an annual basis. We depend on payments from government sources and any changes in Medicare or Medicaid programs could result in a decrease in our net revenue and net income.

        Self-Pay.    Self-pay consists of payments for treatments by patients not otherwise covered by Medicare, Medicaid and third-party payors. The amount of our affiliated physician groups' net revenue derived from self-pay has been approximately 1% in each of the last three years and 1% and 2% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

Seasonality

        Our results of operations historically have fluctuated on a quarterly basis and can be expected to continue to fluctuate. Some of the patients of our Florida treatment centers are part-time residents in Florida during the winter months. Hence, these treatment centers have historically experienced higher utilization rates during the winter months than during the remainder of the year. In addition, referrals are typically lower in the summer months due to traditional vacation periods.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2010

        Net revenue.    Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $48.7 million compared to $55.1 million for the same period in 2009, a decrease of $6.4 million or 11.6%. The year-over-year decline in net revenue was principally due to (1) a $2.1 million decrease due to the permanent closure of one center in June 2009 as a result of the expiration of a facility contract to operate the center, (2) a $1.1 million decrease related to the replacement of linacs at two single-linac treatment centers, which caused a temporary closure of one treatment center and reduced IMRT utilization at the second treatment center in the first half of 2010, and (3) an overall decrease in patient treatments as a result of broad economic factors. Due to the location of one of the single-linac treatment centers, we were unable to transfer patients from the temporarily closed center to any of our other treatment centers in

the network. One of the treatment centers returned to normal operations in May of 2010 and the other returned to normal operations in the third quarter of 2010.

        Salaries and benefits.    Salaries and benefits for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased 0.3% to $18.6 million from $18.5 million for the same period in 2009. The increases are primarily due to the payment of a management retention expense of $0.5 million, offset by a reduction in personnel and related employee benefits costs during the periods.

        Depreciation and amortization.    Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 decreased slightly to $9.3 million compared to $9.4 million for the same period of 2009.

        General and administrative expenses.    General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased $3.2 million to $18.3 million, or 21.2%, from $15.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase was due to $1.7 million in costs associated with the closure of a single-linac treatment center to replace a linac and estimated settlement costs related to a legal matter, and an increase in legal and accounting expense of $3.9 million due to proceeds received from the settlement of litigation which reduced legal and accounting expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2009, offset by a decrease of $2.4 million in center and corporate overhead costs.

        Interest expense.    Interest expense increased $1.0 million to $9.5 million, or 11.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $8.5 million for the same period in 2009. The increase in interest expense was principally due to the refinancing of existing debt and the issuance of $210.0 million of 113/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the "Senior Secured Notes") effective May 13, 2010 which bears interest at higher rates than the retired debt. Principal payments on the retired debt were scheduled to be made beginning in 2011. The Senior Secured Notes mature in 2017.

        Debt extinguishment cost.    The Company recognized $2.9 million of debt extinguishment cost in the second quarter of 2010 in connection with the refinancing of existing debt and the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes.

        Equity interest in net earnings of joint venture.    Equity interest in earnings of joint venture decreased by $0.2 million, or 35.2%, to $0.3 million for the first six months of 2010 from $0.5 million for the first six months of 2009. The decrease in the equity interest in earnings of joint venture was principally due to a decline in joint venture revenue and the resultant decline in net earnings.

        Income tax (expense) benefit.    Income tax benefit increased $5.8 million to $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to income tax expense of $2.0 million during the same period in 2009. The increase was due to a $10.0 million loss from continuing operations before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to income from continuing operations before income taxes of $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2008 and 2009

        Net revenue.    Net revenue decreased by $1.9 million, or 1.8%, from $108.7 million in 2008 to $106.8 million in 2009. The decrease was primarily due to lower reimbursement rates from CMS. CMS reimbursement rate reduction decreased net revenue by approximately $1.9 million, or 1.5%, with an additional decrease in net revenue due to a 4.4% decrease in total treatment center census. This decrease to net revenue was partially offset by a 3.1% increase in IMRT and 17.2% increase in IGRT treatment procedures, which are billable at a higher rate than CBT treatments.

        Salaries and benefits.    Salaries and benefits decreased by $2.2 million, or 5.8%, from $37.9 million in 2008 to $35.7 million in 2009. Salaries and benefits as a percentage of net revenue decreased from 34.9% for 2008 to 33.5% for 2009. The decrease was primarily due to reduced salaries and benefits expenses related to staff reductions and elimination of bonuses in 2009.

Table of Contents

        Depreciation and amortization.    Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $0.6 million, or 3.4%, from $18.1 million in 2008 to $18.7 million in 2009. This increase was primarily due to depreciation related to new equipment installed at certain treatment center locations at the end of 2008.

        General and administrative expenses.    General and administrative expenses decreased by $7.6 million, or 19.0%, from $39.7 million in 2008 to $32.1 million in 2009. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue decreased from 36.5% for 2008 to 30.1% for 2009. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in legal and accounting expenses of approximately $6.6 million as a result of legal expenses incurred in 2008 which were partially reimbursed to us by one of our physician groups and in connection with the settlement of litigation related to those legal activities, the proceeds from which reduced legal expenses in 2009, and a decrease in corporate relocation expenses of $1.1 million resulting from moving the corporate headquarters from California to Colorado in 2008.

        Interest expense.    Interest expense decreased by $1.5 million, or 8.4%, from $18.3 million in 2008 to $16.7 million in 2009. The decrease in interest expense was principally due to a decrease in interest rates and the average balance of debt outstanding.

        Loss on interest rate swap.    Loss on interest rate swap decreased by $2.5 million, or 72.8%, from $3.4 million in 2008 to $0.9 million in 2009. The decrease in the loss on interest rate swap was principally due to a continued but less significant decline in interest rate expectations in 2009 compared to 2008.

        Equity interest in net earnings of joint venture.    Equity interest in earnings of joint venture decreased by $0.4 million, or 35.5%, from $1.1 million in 2008 to $0.7 million in 2009. The decrease in the equity interest in earnings of joint venture was principally due to a decline in joint venture revenue and the resultant decline in net earnings.

        Discontinued operations.    We incurred an impairment loss resulting from discontinued operations in 2008 of $4.1 million. The loss was the result of the closure of operations of our Sonora Regional Cancer Center, or Sonora, in which we had a 50% interest in a joint venture as of June 30, 2008. We recognized an impairment loss from the discontinued operation for the intangible assets and property, plant, and equipment of approximately $2.4 million ($0.5 million of which was attributable to the Sonora non-controlling joint venture partner) in 2008. We also recorded an impairment loss from discontinued operations of approximately $3.0 million representing the reduction in value of goodwill allocable to Sonora. The impairment charges were recorded net of the $0.8 million of related income tax benefit in 2008.

        Income tax (expense) benefit.    Income tax expense increased $4.6 million from an income tax benefit of $3.0 million in 2008 to $1.7 million of income tax expense in 2009. The increase was primarily due to income from continuing operations of $3.0 million before income taxes in 2009 compared to a loss of $7.3 million from continuing operations before income taxes in 2008.

Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2007 and 2008

        Net revenue.    Net revenue increased by $23.0 million, or 26.8%, from $85.7 million in 2007 to $108.7 million in 2008. Approximately $10.7 million of this increase was related to additional centers acquired during 2007 and 2008. The remaining increase in net revenue was principally due to an increase in total census of 8.1% and an increase in IMRT treatments of 18.8%, which have a greater reimbursement rate than CBT.

Table of Contents

        Salaries and benefits.    Salaries and benefits increased by $4.4 million, or 13.1%, from $33.5 million in 2007 to $37.9 million in 2008. The increase in salaries and benefits was primarily due to the addition of employees in connection with the additional centers acquired in 2007 and 2008. Salaries and benefits as a percentage of net revenue decreased from 39.1% for 2007 to 34.9% for 2008.

        Depreciation and amortization.    Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $2.4 million, or 15.6%, from $15.7 million in 2007 to $18.1 million in 2008. This increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to additional treatment centers acquired and new equipment installed in 2007 and 2008.

        General and administrative expenses.    General and administrative expenses increased by $10.6 million, or 36.3%, from $29.1 million in 2007 to $39.7 million in 2008. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue increased from 34.0% for 2007 to 36.5% for 2008. The increase was primarily due to additional centers acquired in 2007 and 2008, which added approximately $5.5 million to our cost structure, an increase in corporate relocation expenses of $1.1 million as we moved the corporate headquarters from California to Colorado in 2008 and $2.3 million in higher legal expenses.

        Interest expense.    Interest expense increased by $0.8 million, or 4.4%, from $17.5 million in 2007 to $18.3 million in 2008. The increase in interest expense was principally due to an increase in the average balance of debt outstanding as a result of acquisitions in 2007 and 2008.

        Loss on interest rate swap.    Loss on interest rate swap increased by $1.5 million from $1.9 million in 2007 to $3.4 million in 2008. The increase in the loss on interest rate swap was principally due to a more significant decline in expected interest rates in 2008 compared to 2007.

        Equity interest in net earnings of joint venture.    Equity interest in earnings of joint venture increased by $0.2 million, or 19.3%, from $1.0 million in 2007 to $1.1 million in 2008. The increase in the equity interest in earnings of joint venture was principally due to increased revenue related to joint venture operations.

        Discontinued operations.    We incurred an impairment loss resulting from discontinued operations in 2008 of $4.1 million. The loss was the result of the closure of operations at Sonora in which we had a 50% interest in a joint venture as of June 30, 2008. We recognized an impairment loss from the discontinued operation for the intangible assets and property, plant, and equipment of approximately $2.4 million ($0.5 million of which was attributable to the Sonora non-controlling joint venture partner) in 2008. We also recorded an impairment loss from discontinued operations of approximately $3.0 million representing the reduction in value of goodwill allocable to Sonora. The impairment charges were recorded net of the $0.8 million of related income tax benefit in 2008.

        Income tax (expense) benefit.    Income tax benefit decreased $0.9 million from $3.9 million in 2007 to $3.0 million in 2008. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the loss from continuing operations before income taxes from $11.1 million in 2007 to $7.3 million in 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        On May 13, 2010, we concluded the offering of the Senior Secured Notes. Proceeds from the sale of the Senior Secured Notes were used primarily to repay our then existing senior credit facility and subordinated debt. Concurrently with the closing of the offering, our direct wholly-owned subsidiary, Oncure Medical, and each of its direct and indirect subsidiaries entered into a new senior secured revolving credit facility with GE Capital Markets, Inc., as sole lead arranger and book manager, General Electric Capital Corporation, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the other lenders from time to time party thereto.

65


Table of Contents

        The new revolving senior credit facility provides for aggregate commitments of up to $40.0 million as of May 13, 2010, including a letter of credit sub-facility of $2.0 million and a swing line sub-facility of $2.0 million, and provides for the increase, at our option, of aggregate commitments by $10.0 million, subject to certain conditions. The new revolving credit facility is undrawn as of June 30, 2010 and expires in May 2015.

        Our primary ongoing liquidity requirements are for working capital, debt service, capital expenditures and acquisitions. We finance these liquidity requirements through a combination of cash on hand, cash flows from operating activities and the incurrence of additional indebtedness, including borrowings under our revolving credit facility. See "Description of Certain Indebtedness."

        As of June 30, 2010, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $9.0 million, $206.4 million of outstanding long-term indebtedness, net of discount, and availability under our revolving credit facility of up to $40.0 million, which may be increased pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the exchange notes and the agreement governing our revolving credit facility. See "Capitalization" and "Description of Certain Indebtedness."

        Based on our current business plan, we believe that our existing cash balances, cash generated from operations and availability under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months. However, our future cash requirements could be higher than we currently expect as a result of various factors. Our ability to meet our liquidity needs could be adversely affected if we suffer adverse results of operations, or if we violate the covenants and restrictions to which we are subject under our revolving credit facility. Additionally, our ability to generate sufficient cash from our operating activities is subject to general economic, political, regulatory, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. Our business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations, and future borrowings may not be available to us under our revolving credit facility in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our service or repay our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs, and we may be required to seek additional financing through credit facilities with other lenders or institutions or seek additional capital through private placements or public offerings of equity or debt securities. No assurances can be given that we will be able to complete additional debt or equity financings on terms favorable to us or at all.

Cash Flows Provided By Operating Activities

        Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010 and the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009 was $7.3 million, $5.7 million, $11.6 million, $10.7 million and $16.9 million, respectively.

        Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $1.6 million from $5.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $7.3 million in the same period in 2009. The decrease was primarily a result of a decrease in net income in 2010 of $7.9 million, a decrease in deferred income tax expense of $5.7 million and a decrease in other liabilities of $2.0 million primarily due to settlement of our interest swap agreement, offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $2.7 million, an increase in accrued expenses of $4.4 million, debt extinguishment costs of $2.9 million and an increase of prepaid expenses and other assets of $3.7 million.

        Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $0.8 million from $11.6 million in 2007 to $10.7 million in 2008. This decrease was primarily attributable to a $1.4 million increase in net loss, an increase in accounts receivable of $8.1 million from the centers acquired in 2007 and 2008 and a decrease in other current liabilities of $4.9 million, offset by increased depreciation and amortization expense of $2.8 million, impairment loss resulting from discontinued operations of $4.1 million, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $3.8 million and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $2.8 million.

66


Table of Contents

        Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $6.2 million from $10.7 million in 2008 to $16.9 million in 2009. This increase was primarily attributable to a $9.7 million increase in net income offset in part by $4.1 million loss from discontinued operations.

Cash Flows Used In Investing Activities

        Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010 and the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009 was $3.6 million, $2.0 million, $26.4 million, $59.3 million and $6.0 million, respectively.

        Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $1.6 million from $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in capital expenditures.

        Net cash used in investing activities increased by $32.8 million from $26.4 million in 2007 to $59.3 million in 2008. This increase was primarily attributable to a $25.4 million increase in cash paid for acquisitions and a $6.1 million increase in property and equipment purchases in 2008 as compared to 2007.

        Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $53.3 million from $59.3 million used in investing activities in 2008 to $6.0 million used in investing activities in 2009. This decrease was primarily attributable to $46.5 million in cash paid for acquisitions in 2008 compared to no acquisitions in 2009 and a $7.0 million reduction in property and equipment purchases in 2009 as compared to 2008.

        Historically, our capital expenditures have been primarily for equipment and information technology software systems and equipment. Total capital expenditures (excluding acquisitions) were $8.1 million, $14.2 million and $7.2 million in 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively. Capital expenditures for 2010, exclusive of the purchase of radiation oncology treatment centers, are expected to be approximately $8.0 million primarily related to equipment purchases and maintenance capital. To the extent that we acquire or internally develop new radiation oncology treatment centers, we may need to increase our expected capital expenditures.

Cash Provided By (Used In) Financing Activities

        Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010 was $7.3 million and $44,000, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008 was $15.2 million and $56.9 million, respectively. Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $14.9 million.

        Net cash used in financing activities decreased by $7.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to $206.3 million of proceeds from the issuance of Senior Secured Notes in May 2010, offset by $197.5 million in debt repayments and related loan costs of $8.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $7.3 million of principal repayments on indebtedness for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

        Net cash provided by financing increased by $41.7 million in 2008 from $15.2 million in 2007 to $56.9 million in 2008. The increase was primarily attributable to $26.1 million in proceeds from the issuance of long term debt and $12.0 million in draws on our existing line of credit in 2008 compared to $0 in 2007. The increase was also attributable to a $2.1 million decrease in principal payments on our long term debt in 2008.

        Net cash used in financing activities increased by $71.8 million from $56.9 million provided by financing activities in 2008 to $14.9 million used in financing activities in 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to $47.2 million in proceeds from the issuance of debt and a $12.0 million draw

        Additionally, in January 2006, we formed the Vidalia Regional Cancer Center, LLC as a joint venture with Meadows Regional Medical Center to develop, operate and manage a new treatment center in Vidalia, Georgia. Both we and Meadows Regional Medical Center have committed to fund an initial $1.0 million of initial capital upon the successful issuance of a Georgia CON by the Georgia Department of Community. Although the CON has been issued, there has been no development activity to date.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

        We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in these relationships.

Inflation

        We are impacted by rising costs for certain inflation-sensitive operating expenses such as equipment, labor and employee benefits. We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on us, but may in the future.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

        Interest Rate Sensitivity.    We are exposed to various market risks as a part of our operations, and we anticipate that this exposure will increase as a result of our planned growth. In an effort to mitigate losses associated with these risks, we may at times enter into derivative financial instruments. These derivative financial instruments may take the form of forward sales contracts, option contracts, and interest rate swaps. We have not and do not intend to engage in the practice of trading derivative securities for profit. In March 2006, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement in connection with our then existing credit facility, with a notional amount of $70.0 million. We terminated and repaid our previous credit facility and the related interest rate swap agreement in May 2010.

Critical Accounting Policies

        Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles

68


Table of Contents


generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net revenue and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We continuously evaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates, including those related to consolidation, revenue recognition, accounts receivable valuation, evaluation of goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment and the provision for income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

        Our accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. We believe the following critical accounting policies are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require our management's subjective or complex judgment because of the sensitivity of the methods, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

        Net Revenue and Allowances for Contractual Discounts.    Our net revenue represents a management fee that is based on a fixed percentage of the earnings of our affiliated physician groups except for one facility where the management fee is based on a fixed percentage of the affiliated physician group's net revenue. Accordingly, the net revenue reported in our consolidated financial statements is affected by the net revenue of our affiliated physician groups. Our affiliated physician groups have agreements with third-party payors that provide them payments at amounts different from their established rates. Our affiliated physician groups' net revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amounts due from patients, third-party payors and others for services rendered. Our affiliated physician groups' net revenue is recognized as services are provided. Medicare and other governmental programs reimburse physicians based on fee schedules, which are determined by the related government agency. Our affiliated physician groups also have agreements with managed care organizations to provide physician services based on negotiated fee schedules.

        Our affiliated physician groups derive a significant portion of their net revenue from Medicare, Medicaid and third party payors that receive discounts from our standard charges. We must estimate the total amount of these discounts to prepare our consolidated financial statements. The Medicare and Medicaid regulations and various managed care contracts under which these discounts must be calculated are complex and subject to interpretation and adjustment. We estimate the allowance for contractual discounts on a payor class basis given each payors' interpretation of the applicable regulations or contract terms. These interpretations sometimes result in payments that differ from our estimates. Additionally, updated regulations and contract renegotiations occur frequently necessitating regular review and assessment of the estimation process. Changes in estimates related to the allowance for contractual discounts affect net revenue reported in our consolidated statements of operations. We recorded changes in estimates in our allowances for contractual discounts for fiscal years 2007, 2008 and 2009 which increased net revenue by $1.2 million, $1.8 million, and $0.2 million, respectively. There was no change in estimate in our allowances for contractual discounts for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

        Accounts Receivable and Allowances for Doubtful Accounts.    Accounts receivable are assigned to us by our affiliated physician groups and reported net of estimated allowances for doubtful accounts and contractual adjustments. Accounts receivable are uncollateralized and primarily consist of amounts due from third-party payors and patients. To provide for accounts receivable that could become uncollectible in the future, we establish an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce the carrying amount of such receivables to their estimated net realizable value. The credit risk for other concentrations (other than Medicare) of receivables is limited due to the large number of insurance companies and other payors that provide payments for our services. We do not believe that there are

69


Table of Contents


any other significant concentrations of receivables from any particular payor that would subject us to any significant credit risk in the collection of our accounts receivable.

        The amount of the provision for doubtful accounts is based upon our assessment of historical and expected net collections, business and economic conditions, trends in federal and state governmental healthcare coverage and other collection indicators. Accounts receivable are written-off after collection efforts have been followed in accordance with our policies. Accounts receivable, less allowances of $0.6 million, $0.6 million and $0.7 million, were $20.7 million, $21.2 million and $19.0 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2009, and June 30, 2010, respectively.

        Management Services Agreements Payable.    We collect accounts receivable on behalf of our affiliated physician groups and remit amounts due to them after retaining our management services fee. This payable is included in accrued expenses in our consolidated financial statements and was $2.7 million, $2.9 million, and $3.0 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2009, and June 30, 2010, respectively.

        Goodwill.    We perform impairment tests at least annually on all goodwill. For purposes of testing goodwill for impairment, our goodwill has been assigned to our one consolidated reporting unit and our test is performed in the fourth quarter of each year or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment utilizing a two-step process. The first step is to identify if a potential impairment exists by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to have a potential impairment and the second step of the impairment test is not necessary. However, if a potential impairment exists, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared to the fair value of its assets and liabilities, excluding goodwill, to estimate the implied value of the reporting unit's goodwill. If an impairment charge is deemed necessary, a charge is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill over the implied fair value.

        Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value of our reporting unit and goodwill. We determine the fair value of our reporting unit based on the income approach, using a discounted cash flow, or DCF, analysis to value the long-term future cash flows. This DCF analysis was used solely for the purpose of evaluating our goodwill for impairment and should not be interpreted as our prediction of future performance. The assumptions used in our DCF analysis are consistent with the assumptions we believe hypothetical marketplace participants would use, including the expectation that the most likely transaction to acquire us would be to acquire our assets. With respect to our DCF analysis, the timing and amount of future cash flows requires critical management assumptions, including estimates of expected future net revenue growth rates, EBITDA contributions, expected capital expenditures and an appropriate discount rate and terminal value. The average annual revenue growth rates forecasted for the reporting unit for the first five years of our projections ranged between 5.6% and 6.1%, due to expected growth in census numbers specifically related to IMRT and IGRT services. After 2014, revenue growth was estimated to decline to a more normalized level. The overall weighted average cost of capital was 11.5% and the terminal value was calculated using the "Gordon Growth" expression. This expression quantifies the terminal value based on the assumption of a perpetual stream of cash flow with an inherent growth rate of 3.0%. Our 2009 assessment resulted in the determination that the fair value of our reporting unit exceeded the carrying amount by 22% and thus no impairment was indicated.

        Management Services Agreements.    MSAs represent the intangible assets that were purchased in the acquisition of our common stock by Genstar in 2006. In connection with the acquisition, existing MSAs were recorded at their estimated fair values based upon an independent valuation. The MSAs are noncancelable except for performance defaults that are subject to various notice and cure periods.

        We amortize the MSA intangible assets on a straight-line basis over the term of each MSA, including one renewal option period, which range from four to 24 years.

        Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.    We review our long lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be fully recoverable. Assessment of possible impairment of a particular asset is based on our ability to recover the carrying value of such asset based on our estimate of its undiscounted future cash flows. If these estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value.

        Income Taxes.    We make estimates in recording our provision for income taxes, including determination of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities and any valuation allowances that might be required against the deferred tax assets. There are currently no valuation allowances against deferred tax assets.

        An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if we believe it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. At June 30, 2010, we had $1.0 million of unrecognized tax assets. We are subject to taxation in the United States and five state jurisdictions. We are generally subject to federal and state examination for tax years after December 31, 2005 for federal purposes and after December 31, 2004 for state purposes.

BUSINESS

Company Overview

        We are a leading manager of radiation oncology treatment centers for cancer patients. We partner with leading radiation oncology groups and their radiation oncologists to offer cancer patients a comprehensive range of radiation oncology treatment alternatives, including most traditional and next generation services. We provide business services to a network of 14 affiliated physician groups that treat cancer patients at our 37 strategically located radiation oncology treatment centers, making us one of the largest networks of radiation oncology service providers. We believe that our unique physician partnership business model, market leadership in targeted geographic regions, leading clinical and technological platforms, strong track record of treatment center operating performance and proven and experienced management team provides us with a significant competitive advantage in the radiation therapy market.

        We are one of the largest companies in the United States focused on partnering with radiation oncology groups through MSAs. Through our MSAs, we manage and administer the non-medical business functions of our treatment centers, such as physician succession planning, technical staff recruiting, marketing, managed care contracting, receivables management, compliance, purchasing, information systems, accounting and human resource management, which allows our physician partners to focus primarily on providing patient care, treatment center growth including expansion of their group's services. We enter into long-term MSAs with established radiation oncology physician groups, which are designed to ensure the physicians' business interests are aligned with our own. We currently partner with 14 affiliated physician groups consisting of approximately 70 physicians, who on average have over 15 years of experience. Our affiliated physician groups and their physicians retain full control over the clinical aspects of patient care in our treatment centers. We believe that we attract and retain leading radiation oncology groups and their physicians largely due to this partnership model, the benefits of scale and our commitment to clinical excellence. By establishing relationships with highly qualified, well-respected radiation oncology groups and their physicians, we believe that we receive ongoing benefits as a result of giving referring physicians and their patients a high level of confidence in the capabilities of our affiliated physician groups.

        We have built a provider network focused on targeted geographic regions and have established leading market positions within these regions. Our network of 37 treatment centers is located in 37 markets and includes 15 treatment centers in California, 18 treatment centers in Florida and four treatment centers in Indiana. We believe we hold the top market share in California and second leading market share in Florida. We believe these two states are two of the most attractive markets in the United States for cancer treatment providers due to the large and growing senior populations and the high incidence of cancer. Our targeted regional focus allows us to build a leading market presence that enables us to drive efficiencies through economies of scale and fixed cost leverage. In addition, we believe our significant position in local markets creates strong barriers to entry.

        We believe that our treatment centers are equipped with leading clinical and technological platforms, which allow our physician partners to provide cancer patients the highest quality of care through clinically advanced treatment options. The early and continual adoption of cutting-edge technology by our physician partners has enabled sharing of this knowledge and best practices across our network quickly to drive superior clinical results. Early adoption and appropriate utilization of these next generation technologies has also resulted in more attractive reimbursement rates for our affiliated physician groups. We believe our clinical and technological platform provides us with a significant competitive advantage in attracting new physician groups and is appealing to referral sources, patients and payors.

        Since our inception, we have built a leading network of radiation oncology treatment centers that has resulted in increased net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth. Since the beginning of 2007, we

72


Table of Contents


have acquired 11 new treatment centers. Between fiscal years 2007 to 2009, our net revenue, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA have grown at compounded annual growth rates of 11.6%, 65.2% and 14.0%, respectively, through a combination of organic growth and acquisitions. For the year ended December 31, 2009, our net revenue, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA were $106.8 million, $20.1 million and $39.5 million, respectively. We believe that attractive long-term trends in our industry, our unique business model, our clinical excellence and our leading market position differentiates us from our competitors and positions us well for continued future growth.

        For the six months ended June 30, 2010, our net revenue, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA were $48.7 million, $2.6 million and $17.0 million, respectively, compared to $55.1 million, $12.0 million and $20.3 million, respectively, for the same period in 2009. The year-over-year decline in net revenue, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA was principally due to a decrease in patient treatments as a result of broad economic factors and the replacement of linacs at two single linac treatment centers, which caused a temporary closure of one treatment center and reduced IMRT utilization at the second treatment center. In addition, due to the location of one of these treatment centers, we were unable to transfer patients from that temporarily closed center to any of our other treatment centers. One of the two centers returned to normal operations in May 2010 and the other returned to normal operations in the third quarter of 2010.

Industry Overview

        According to the ACS, over 19 million cancer cases have been diagnosed in the United States since 1990, with an estimated 1.5 million cases diagnosed in 2009. Approximately 77% of all cancer cases are currently being diagnosed in people over the age of 55. As the United States population and, in particular, the baby boomer generation ages, the number of cancer diagnoses are expected to continue to increase. The states in which we operate collectively represented approximately 19% of United States cancer cases in 2009 (California approximately 10%, Florida approximately 7% and Indiana approximately 2%).

        The United States radiation therapy market was estimated to be approximately $8 billion in 2007. The market's growth has been driven by an aging population, which is more likely to develop cancer, along with the development of radiation technologies that are effective in treating a greater range of cancer diagnoses. The radiation therapy market in the United States is highly fragmented with over 2,200 locations at which radiation therapy is provided. Free-standing radiation oncology treatment centers have grown in prevalence from approximately 400 in 1990 to over 1,000 in 2007. We believe that this growth has been driven by patients' desire to receive radiation oncology treatments, which are typically given daily over a four- to nine-week period, at specialized centers that are convenient and located in their communities. Many of these free-standing treatment centers can benefit from professional management competencies such as physician succession planning, technical staff recruiting, marketing, managed care contracting, receivables management, compliance, purchasing, information systems, accounting and human resource management, and thus look to partner with networks like ours.

        Cancer can be treated using a variety of methods. Although the majority of cancer patients receive radiation therapy, individuals diagnosed with cancer may elect to undergo surgery, chemotherapy and/or biological therapy in conjunction with, or instead of, radiation therapy. Radiation therapy is used to treat nearly two-thirds of all cancer patients in the United States. Radiation therapy is often curative with patients in whom cancer is localized and has not metastasized. Cancer patients are typically referred to a treatment center or radiation oncologist by medical oncologists, breast surgeons, general surgeons, urologists, family practice and internal medicine physicians in addition to other physician specialties and payor sources. Physicians advise patients to choose the type of treatment or combination of treatments based upon the type of cancer, the stage of development and the expected impact on the patients' and his/her caregivers' quality of life, including potential side effects, family stress and economic consequences.

        Delivery of a beam of radiation at a targeted tumor area is currently the dominant treatment used in radiation oncology. CBT is delivered with limited precision and can expose patients to relatively high levels of radiation. The evolution of cancer research and technological advances have produced increasingly effective methods of radiation oncology treatment, including IMRT and IGRT, which deliver the necessary doses of radiation in a more targeted manner, thus minimizing the harm to healthy organs surrounding a tumor. The advancements in cancer targeting also result in fewer side effects and complications, enhancing a patient's overall quality of life. These technological advances are further supported by payor approval of new cancer indications and diagnoses. We also believe that the discovery and utilization of new, innovative means of radiation therapy delivery and the increased awareness of next generation cancer therapy treatments by physicians and patients will continue to increase the use of radiation therapy for treating many types of cancer.

        We expect future growth in the radiation therapy market to be driven by:

    increasing incidence of cancer associated with the aging population;

    advancing deployment and acceptance of radiation equipment technologies that increase the number of treatable cancer patients;

    new and more effective treatment technologies that achieve better patient results with fewer side effects and that have more attractive reimbursement levels;

    increasing physician and patient familiarity with the various cancer treatment options available, thus leading to greater demand for next generation therapies that prevent healthy tissue damage and improve quality of life; and

    continuing payor acceptance of evolving science and treatment technologies in radiation oncology, thereby leading to their approval of reimbursement for additional diagnoses and indications for reimbursement.

Competitive Strengths

        We have developed a broad range of capabilities that we believe provide us with significant competitive advantages, including:

        Unique Physician Partnership Business Model that Aligns Incentives.    We partner with physicians in a managed services model, which we believe is difficult for competitors to emulate. This model has been a key driver of our financial success and serves as a foundation for future growth. We currently partner with 14 affiliated physician groups consisting of approximately 70 physicians, who on average have over 15 years of experience. We enter into long-term agreements with established radiation oncology groups to realize the value of ongoing patient referral streams and managed care relationships. We structure our MSAs to ensure the physicians' business interests are aligned with our own. By establishing relationships with highly qualified, well-respected radiation oncology groups and their physicians, we believe that we receive ongoing benefits as a result of giving referring physicians and their patients a high level of confidence in the capabilities of our groups. We believe that we attract and retain leading radiation oncology groups and their physicians largely due to this partnership model, the benefits of scale and our commitment to clinical excellence. Our affiliated physician groups have a low physician turnover rate. Physicians typically remain with their group until retirement or relocation. Since 2006, we have successfully renewed every MSA that has come to term under substantially similar terms for an additional period of five or more years.

        Leading Clinical and Technological Platform.    We provide the patients of our physician partners with a broad spectrum of radiation therapy alternatives, including many advanced treatment options that are not otherwise available or offered by other providers in our markets. We believe that our treatment centers are equipped with leading clinical and technological platforms, which allows our

74


Table of Contents


physician partners to provide cancer patients the highest quality of care through clinically advanced treatment options. We have an advanced base of technology, including IMRT capabilities in all but one of our treatment centers and IGRT capabilities in a majority of our treatment centers. We continue to support our physicians in their adoption of next generation technologies, which we believe achieves superior clinical results and more attractive reimbursement levels. The early and continual adoption of cutting-edge technology by our physician partners has enabled sharing of this knowledge and best practices across our network quickly to drive superior clinical results. We believe our clinical and technological platform provides us with a significant competitive advantage in attracting new physician groups and is appealing to our referral sources, patients and payors.

        Market Leader in Targeted Geographic Regions.    We have built a provider network with a focused geographic presence in key markets. Our network of 37 treatment centers is located in 37 markets and includes 15 treatment centers in California, 18 treatment centers in Florida and four treatment centers in Indiana. We believe we hold the top market share in California and second leading market share in Florida. We believe these two states are two of the most attractive markets in the United States for cancer treatment providers due to the large and growing senior populations and the high incidence of cancer. In addition, in 2008, we acquired the largest radiation oncology provider in northeast Indiana, providing us with access to an attractive Midwest market. We believe our significant position in these markets creates strong barriers to entry. We also believe that this targeted geographic focus allows us to build a market presence that enables us to drive efficiencies through economies of scale and fixed cost leverage. Due to our robust regional footprint, we believe we have been successful in attracting leading physicians, marketing, negotiating favorable reimbursement rates with third-party payors, leveraging referral source relationships, achieving operational efficiencies and sharing highly skilled personnel among our treatment centers.

        Strong Track Record of Same-Center Operating Performance.    We have had significant success driving same-center operating performance improvement through leveraging our strong physician partnership model, proactive referral marketing programs, managed care contracting strategies, sharing knowledge, leadership and resources among our treatment centers and our physician and staff recruiting expertise. Furthermore, our willingness and ability to invest in and implement new state-of-the-art equipment has helped drive substantial same-center growth by enabling appropriate utilization of advanced technology which has resulted in more favorable reimbursement rates. Given the generally stable radiation oncology reimbursement environment and our extensive experience in local markets, we have been able to show year-over-year growth as new acquisitions are made and new technologies are deployed at existing treatment centers.

        Growing Business with Strong and Predictable Cash Flow.    Between fiscal years 2007 and 2009, we have experienced net revenue, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below under the caption "—Summary Consolidated Financial and Other Data") compound annual growth rates of 11.6%, 65.2% and 14.0%, respectively. We believe there are several underlying factors that contribute to the stability and growing performance of our business, including the aging of the United States population and resultant rise in cancer cases; increased utilization of next generation therapies; improvements in cancer detection and diagnoses; high physician retention due to long-term MSAs and the stable reimbursement outlook. These factors, combined with our moderate maintenance capital expenditures and minimal working capital needs, result in strong and predictable free cash flow generation.

        Strong and Diversified Business and Payor Mix.    Our affiliated physician groups have a broad range of payors and referral sources, and provide treatment across a wide spectrum of cancer diagnoses. Reimbursements are widely diversified among payor sources, including Medicare (39% of affiliated physician groups 2009 net revenue), Medicaid (5% of affiliated physician groups 2009 net revenue) and third-party and other payors (56% of affiliated physician groups 2009 net revenue) for the year ended

75


Table of Contents


December 31, 2009. This payor diversity mitigates exposure to possible unfavorable reimbursement trends by any one payor or payor class. Given that we are focused on a variety of cancer diagnoses, we believe we have a highly attractive treatment mix with no specific diagnosis representing more than 23% of our affiliated physician groups' net revenue. Our operations are further diversified by the breadth of our affiliated physician groups' referral sources, with the top ten referring physicians accounting for less than 7% of all referrals, which we believe provides further stability and predictability of future net revenue.

        Proven and Experienced Management Team.    We are led by a dedicated and highly experienced executive management team with significant expertise and industry knowledge. Our Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and top five executives have an average of more than 20 years of healthcare management experience. Over the past decade, our executive management team has successfully overseen continued growth and operational improvement in oncology centers. This team has developed a systematic approach to business operations and has a core competency in integrating newly acquired treatment centers.

Our Business Strategy

        We believe we are well positioned to leverage our unique physician partnership business model, management expertise and scalable infrastructure to increase our market share within our established geographic regions and selectively expand into new regions. Key elements of our business strategy include:

        Continuing Opportunity with Next Generation Therapies.    We believe the increased utilization of next generation technologies will continue to be a key driver of our growth. Life improving, next generation technologies, such as IMRT and IGRT, enable value-added treatments that drive better clinical results and are typically reimbursed at higher rates than CBT treatments. These next generation technologies are also expanding into new cancer diagnoses and expanded indications, thereby broadening our market opportunity. We intend to actively invest in and implement new technologies along with providing our physician partners the necessary education and best practices to help improve clinical results. By ensuring that these necessary resources are available to our affiliated physician groups' radiation oncologists, we believe they can generate significant incremental value from their existing base of business.

        Focusing on Quality of Care.    We believe that our focus on patient service enhances the quality of care provided, differentiates us from our competitors and strengthens our relationships with referring physicians. We focus on minimizing the physical and psychological discomfort for patients with a comprehensive and comfortable care setting. We aim to enhance a patient's overall quality of life by providing technologically advanced radiation oncology treatment alternatives, which deliver the necessary doses of radiation in a more targeted manner, thus minimizing the harm to healthy organs surrounding a tumor. Our treatment centers are generally located in convenient, community-based settings and are designed to deliver high-quality radiation therapy in a patient-friendly environment. Many centers offer support services designed to enhance the patient experience, such as support groups, psychological and nutritional counseling, and transportation assistance in a few cases.

        Focusing on Same-Center Operating Performance.    We believe that a focus on census improvement, optimizing the utilization of new technologies, more efficient utilization of treatment center resources and talent management will result in the continued improvement of the financial performance of our existing treatment centers. We have, and believe we will continue to have, significant success driving census improvement through our proactive referral marketing programs, further advancements in web-based marketing, targeted physician recruitment and strategic payor negotiations. We have a proven ability to enhance treatment center operations through our benchmarking programs, sharing of best practices and measuring performance with specified center metrics. Furthermore, our willingness

76


Table of Contents


and ability to invest in and implement new state-of-the-art equipment has helped drive same-center growth. Given the stable radiation oncology reimbursement environment and our extensive experience in local markets, we believe we will continue to show year-over-year growth at our existing treatment centers.

        Expanding by Acquisitions in Targeted Geographic Regions.    The radiation therapy market remains highly fragmented and we believe there are numerous acquisition opportunities in both our current and new markets. We evaluate opportunities to grow through a disciplined and selective acquisition process that focuses on cash flow generation. We believe we have been, and will continue to be, successful in the targeting and integration of acquisitions to expand our current footprint. Since the beginning of 2006, we have acquired 23 treatment centers, targeting markets that have attractive demographic trends where we can leverage operating costs and referral networks. In 2008, we acquired the largest radiation oncology group in northeast Indiana, which moved us into an attractive new market where future potential acquisitions exist. Selectively targeting tuck-in acquisitions on an opportunistic basis has allowed us to acquire underperforming and undercapitalized treatment centers at attractive prices where we can focus on achieving operational synergies and cost savings. We have developed a systematic approach for integrating newly acquired treatment centers and have proven our ability to enhance affiliated physician group operations through benchmarking programs, sharing of best practices, developing targeted performance metrics across treatment centers and our willingness to invest and implement new technologies. To date, we have achieved significant improvement in the financial performance of our acquired treatment centers.

        Developing New Treatment Centers and Pursuing Additional Partnerships.    We believe that developments in our current markets have the potential to provide significant near-term net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth for us, with moderate capital expenditure requirements. Our strategy is to further penetrate existing and contiguous markets that we believe offer an attractive opportunity for significant growth. We plan to open treatment centers in proximity to established treatment centers where requisite patient demand and referral source relationships exist. We believe this strategy also allows us to accelerate new treatment center growth by leveraging the existing reputation of our physician partners, their referral network and our infrastructure. We also focus on joint-venture and partnership opportunities to expand our service and technology offering and to expand strategically.

Our Services

        Radiation therapy treatments are primarily performed with a linac, which uses high-energy photons or electrons to destroy the tumor. Courses of treatment typically last from four to nine weeks. In advance of the actual treatments, a typical patient is provided the following services: (i) the patient is examined, counseled and advised of treatment options by a radiation oncologist; (ii) the agreed upon course of treatment is planned by a physicist under the oncologist's direction; (iii) a trained dosimetrist designs and verifies that the treatment plan's radiation dose and targeting are properly calibrated in the software that controls the linac; (iv) a trained radiation therapy technologist assists the patient to, and positions the patient on, the linac and (v) the technologist verifies the planned dose and beam target before delivering the radiation oncology treatment. Through the use of our treatment centers and equipment, our affiliated physician groups offer a wide array of radiation oncology treatments to cancer patients. The radiation oncologists maintain full control over the provision of medical services at our treatment centers while we manage the non-medical business functions, such as physician succession planning, technical staff recruiting, marketing, managed care contracting, receivables management and compliance, purchasing, information systems, accounting and human resource management. Many of our radiation oncology treatment centers also offer support services designed to enhance the patient experience such as support groups, psychological and nutritional counseling and transportation assistance.

Table of Contents

        The majority of individuals who undergo radiation therapy for cancer are treated with external beam radiation therapy. External beam radiation therapy involves exposing the patient to an external source of radiation through the use of special equipment that directs radiation at the cancer. Equipment utilized for external beam radiation therapy varies as some are better for treating cancers near the surface of the skin and others are better for treating cancers deeper in the body. A linac, the common piece of equipment used for external beam radiation therapy, can create both high-energy and low-energy radiation. High-energy radiation is used to treat many types of cancer while low-energy radiation is used to treat some forms of skin cancer. A course of external beam radiation therapy typically ranges from four to nine weeks. Treatments generally are given to a patient once each day with each session lasting for approximately 15 to 20 minutes.

        Another category of radiation therapy is internal radiation therapy, which involves the placement of the radiation source inside the body. The source of the radiation (such as radioactive iodine) is sealed in a small holder, known as an implant, and is introduced through the aid of thin wires or plastic tubes. Internal radiation therapy places the radiation source as close as possible to the cancer cells and delivers a higher dose of radiation in a shorter time than is possible with external beam treatments. Implants may be removed after a short time or left in place permanently (with the radioactivity of the implant dissipating over a short time frame). Temporary implants may be either low-dose rate or high-dose rate. Low-dose rate implants are left in place for several days while high-dose rate implants are removed after a few minutes.

        Each of our treatment centers is equipped to provide a comprehensive array of outpatient programs necessary to treat a cancer patient with radiation therapy. We have an advanced base of technology, including IMRT capabilities in all but one of our treatment centers and IGRT capabilities in a majority of our treatment centers. Our treatment centers provide a wide variety of therapies, however, our primary therapies are:

    Conventional Beam Therapy:    The dominant form of radiation oncology treatment, which may result in relatively high radiation exposure with limited precision, CBT enables radiation oncologists to utilize linac machines to direct radiation beams at the tumor location. After clinical treatment planning is completed, the final configuration of the treatment parameters in the linacs is tested on the patient using a computerized fluoroscopic simulator or by means of computer simulation. The simulator is employed to test the prescribed coordinates of the beam for effective treatment and minimization of exposure (and, therefore, risk of injury) of healthy tissue and critical body structures. Before radiation is administered, custom protective blocks are designed and shaped for each patient to ensure that non-targeted tissue is blocked as thoroughly as possible from radiation.

    Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy:    This state-of-the-art cancer treatment method utilizes computer-controlled x-ray accelerators to deliver precise doses of radiation that conform to the three dimensional shape of the tumor by modulating the intensity of an external beam. By targeting tumors more precisely than is possible with CBT, IMRT can deliver higher radiation doses directly to cancer cells while sparing surrounding healthy tissue.

    Image Guided Radiation Therapy:    This treatment combines precise three dimensional imaging from computerized tomography scanning or precise x-ray with highly targeted radiation beams via IMRT. This technology allows clinicians to locate a tumor target prior to a radiation oncology treatment, dramatically reducing the need for large target margins, which have traditionally been used to compensate for errors in localization. As a result, the amount of healthy tissue exposed to radiation can be reduced, minimizing the incidence of side effects. The clinical application for expanded treatment sites using IGRT includes the pancreas, lung and liver.

78

        In addition to the above mentioned therapies, we also offer other advanced services, including:

    Positron Emission Tomography—Computed Tomography:    Involves the injection of radioactive isotopes into a patient to obtain images of metabolic physiologic processes. The application of PET in the detection of cancer has become significant in the last two years, as it is the first diagnostic procedure that can detect and monitor a patient's metabolic malignancies. PET/CT provides information that is not available with other medical imaging and combines the metabolic cancer cells detection of PET with an anatomical picture of the tumor on a CT.

    High Dose Rate Brachytherapy:    This treatment involves the use of radioactive isotopes placed directly in contact with cancer tissues, which are then removed when a lethal dose of radiation has been delivered to the cancer.

    Simulation, Dosimetry and Three Dimensional Conformal Treatment Planning:    These procedures involve the use of a computer scan, allowing tumors to be visualized in a three dimensional format. This makes it possible to treat the cancer volume with very narrow margins, which greatly decreases the amount of normal tissue irradiated and treatment side effects. This technique also permits the delivery of a larger lethal dose of radiation to the cancer.

    Prostate Implantation:    Involves the use of palladium and iodine "seeds" and other radioactive implants (radioactive isotopes) in the treatment of prostate cancer while sparing the nearby organs and structures.

    Stereotactic Radiosurgery:    Enables delivery of concentrated, precise, high dose radiation beams to localized tumors. Historically, stereotactic radiosurgery was used primarily for contained lesions of the brain but recent advancements in imaging technologies have allowed more types of tumors to be targeted, therefore broadening the use of stereotactic radiosurgery for extra-cranial cancers.

    Cyber Knife:    A SRS device with a linac mounted on a robotic arm. Through the use of image guidance cameras, the cyber knife system locates the position of the tumor. The linac attached to the robotic arm delivers multiple beams of radiation that converge at the tumor site. Thus, the tumor receives a concentrated dose of radiation while minimizing exposure to surrounding normal tissue. With sub-millimeter accuracy, the cyber knife is used to treat vascular abnormalities, tumors and cancers of the body.

Our Operations

        We have 12 years of experience operating radiation oncology treatment centers and have developed an integrated operating model. We operate all of our treatment centers pursuant to MSAs between affiliated physician groups and our wholly owned subsidiaries. Our MSAs generally require us to provide our treatment centers with physician succession planning, technical staff recruiting, marketing, managed care contracting, receivables management, compliance, purchasing, information systems, accounting, and human resource management. Our MSAs provide for the affiliated physician group to pay us a management fee based on a fixed percentage of the earnings of each treatment center and a fixed percentage of revenue for one treatment center. Since 2006, we have successfully renewed every MSA that has come to term under substantially similar terms for an additional period of five or more years.

        Treatment Center Operations.    Our treatment centers are designed to deliver high-quality radiation therapy in a patient-friendly environment. Each of our treatment centers is equipped to provide a comprehensive array of outpatient programs necessary to treat a cancer patient with radiation therapy. We have an advanced base of technology, including IMRT capabilities in all but one of our treatment centers and IGRT capabilities in a majority of our treatment centers. In addition, our physician groups offer other advanced services, including PET/CT, Cyber Knife and Stereotactic Radiosurgery.

79


Table of Contents

        Our treatment centers generally range from 4,000 to 12,000 square feet and typically have a staff of between eight and 15 people, depending on patient volume. Our treatment centers generally include a patient waiting room, dressing rooms, exam rooms and hospitality rooms, all of which are designed to minimize patient discomfort. The usual complement of treatment center staff members includes radiation oncologists, physicists, dosimetrists, radiation therapy technologists, oncology nurses, medical assistants and receptionists. We employ all of these individuals with the exception of radiation oncologists, which are employed by our affiliated physician groups. Given the relative geographic proximity of many of our centers, we believe we are able to efficiently share our highly skilled personnel, thereby avoiding costly duplication of services and staffing shortages.

        Cancer patients referred to our treatment centers are provided with an initial consultation, which includes an evaluation of the patient's condition to determine if radiation therapy is appropriate, followed by a discussion of the effects of the therapy. If radiation therapy is selected as a method of treatment, the clinical treatment team engages in clinical treatment planning using x-rays, CT imaging, ultrasound, PET imaging, dosimetry and three dimensional conformal treatment planning in order to locate the tumor and determine the best treatment methodology and regimen.

        Standardized Operating Procedures.    We employ methods by which we share knowledge and best practices across our network quickly to drive superior clinical results. In addition, we have developed standardized operating procedures for our treatment centers in order to ensure that our professionals are able to operate uniformly and efficiently. Our manuals, policies and procedures are refined and modified as needed to increase productivity and efficiency and to provide for the safety of our employees and patients. We believe that our standard operating procedures facilitate the interaction of employees and permit the sharing of our highly skilled personnel among our treatment centers.

        Referral Source and Business Development.    Cancer patients are primarily referred by medical oncologists, breast surgeons, general surgeons, urologists, family practice physicians and internal medicine physicians in addition to other physician specialties. Our affiliated radiation oncologists actively develop their referral base by establishing strong clinical relationships with referring physicians. Patient referrals to a particular radiation oncologist or his/her group may be influenced by managed care organizations with which we maintain contractual agreements. Additionally, we have a business development team with dedicated marketing and graphics professionals. Our business development team conducts a proactive referral marketing and physician outreach program. Our business development team works closely with our affiliated radiation oncologists and local marketing specialists to attract new referral sources through a combination of educating physicians, targeted advertising and relationship building. Moreover, proactive communication with referral sources throughout the treatment process keeps all parties informed and engaged to facilitate effective results.

        Recruitment, Retention and Development of Highly Skilled Professionals.    We believe that our patient-focused staff and culture of providing extraordinary patient experiences is the foundation of our success. We believe that our highly skilled professionals give us a competitive advantage as we capitalize on our regional presence by sharing personnel and best practices across our network of treatment centers. We have positioned ourselves in our industry as the partner of choice for radiation oncologists, and the employer of choice for our physicists, radiation therapy technologists, dosimetrists, nurses and other treatment center support staff. The ability to recruit talented employees allows our physician partners to effectively treat our patients, improve referral source relationships and pursue our growth strategies. We attract and retain employees by offering a culture of excellence, the ability to work in state-of-the-art treatment centers, continuing education, competitive pay, incentive programs and opportunities for advancement. We conduct regular talent management programs that utilize the experience and know-how of our employees. We use our targeted physician succession planning and recruitment programs to strengthen and maintain referral source relationships. Our affiliated physician

80

groups have low physician turnover rates. Physicians typically remain with their group until retirement or relocation.

        Payor Relationships.    Our affiliated physician groups receive payments for their services and treatments rendered to patients covered by Medicare, Medicaid, third-party payors and self-pay patients. Most of our treatment centers' revenue from third-party payors is from managed care organizations and is attributable to contracts we have negotiated with them. We believe that the scale of our treatment center network improves our ability to negotiate more attractive agreements with these payors. These agreements specify fixed fees for services provided at our treatment centers, and give the managed care organization the ability to market access to our affiliated physician groups and physicians to their members. This is a benefit to the managed care organization, and also gives our affiliated physician groups access to a larger pool of potential patients.

        Coding, Billing and Receivable Management.    Our affiliated physician groups provide radiation therapy services under a significant number of different professional and technical codes, which determine reimbursement. Our affiliated physician groups rely on us to manage the complex coding, billing and collections process. Our Chief Compliance Officer, Director of Billing and professional coders work together to establish coding and billing rules and procedures to be utilized at our radiation oncology treatment centers providing consistency across centers. In each radiation oncology treatment center, trained staff administer these rules in coordination with the technical personnel located at each treatment center. To provide an external check on the integrity of the coding process, we conduct chart audits and have also retained the services of a third-party consultant to review and assess our coding procedures and processes on a periodic basis. Our billing and collection functions are conducted at two centralized locations.

        Compliance Program.    We have a compliance program that is consistent with guidelines issued by the Department of Health and Human Services. As part of the compliance program, we have appointed a Chief Compliance Officer who is a member of our executive management team. Our program includes an anonymous toll-free hotline reporting system through a third party vendor, annual compliance training programs, auditing and monitoring programs, and a disciplinary system to enforce adherence to our compliance program and related policies. As part of our compliance program, we screen employees through applicable federal and state databases of sanctioned individuals under governmental healthcare programs. Auditing and monitoring activities include the review of claims preparation and submission as well as review of proper coding, billing and documentary back-up material in accordance with reimbursement regulations. We also distribute periodic compliance alerts and provide the members of our affiliated physician groups with compliance training on an ongoing basis.

        Management Information Systems.    We utilize centralized management information systems to monitor data related to each treatment center's operations and financial performance. Our management information systems are used to track patient data, physician productivity and coding, and billing functions. Our management information systems also provide monthly budget analyses, financial comparisons to prior periods and comparisons among treatment centers, thus enabling management to evaluate the individual and collective performance of our treatment centers. We periodically review our management information systems for possible refinements and upgrading. Our management information systems personnel install and maintain our system hardware, develop and maintain specialized software and are able to integrate the systems of the groups we acquire.

        Maintenance and Physics Functions.    We employ or contract with a licensed physicist at each treatment center to assist us and our affiliated physician groups with acquisition, installation, calibration, use and maintenance of our linacs and other related equipment. All patient treatment equipment is under the direct oversight of the assigned physicists. We also utilize the services of the original manufacturers of our equipment and other third-party vendors to perform preventive

81


Table of Contents


maintenance, repairs, installation and de-installation and redeployment of our linacs. We believe this helps to ensure the quality of service provided by our affiliated physician groups, the integrity of our equipment, maximizes equipment utilization and minimizes equipment downtime. Our physicists monitor and test the accuracy of each of our linacs on a regular basis in accordance with applicable regulations or more frequently, if necessary, to ensure that our linacs are uniformly and properly calibrated.

        Clinical Research.    We believe that a well-managed clinical research program enhances the reputation of our physician groups. We maintain information on over 30,000 patients. This data can be used by the radiation oncologists and others to research treatment patterns and potentially improve patient care.

Real Property

        Our executive and administrative offices are located in approximately 13,000 square feet of office space in Englewood, Colorado under a lease that expires in 2013. Our California national service center is located in approximately 7,700 square feet of office space in Irvine, California under a lease that expires in 2012. We also lease office space approved for medical use to house our treatment centers in the various communities where we operate. Our radiation oncology treatment centers generally range in size from 4,000 to 12,000 square feet and are typically located on hospital campuses in close proximity to referral sources. All of our treatment centers are located in office space approved for medical use, including three locations where certain of our directors, executive officers and equityholders have an ownership interest. These leases expire at various dates between 2011 and 2024 with renewal options of up to 30 years. Our current complement of offices and treatment centers meets our present requirements and our plans for continued growth of operations. However, where additional capacity is necessary at a treatment center, we will seek to acquire additional space where possible.

        In addition to the treatment centers listed above, we have limited scope arrangements at two additional facilities in Florida and one facility in California as well as mobile PET/CT capabilities at five locations in Florida.

Employees

        As of June 30, 2010, we employ approximately 450 individuals. None of our employees are party to a collective bargaining agreement and we consider our relationships with our employees to be good. We believe we provide competitive wages and benefits and offer our employees a professional work environment that we believe helps us recruit and retain the staff we need to operate and manage our treatment centers. As of June 30, 2010, we were also affiliated with 14 physician groups that employed approximately 70 radiation oncologists. We do not employ radiation oncologists in part due to laws and regulations placing a prohibition on such employment in one state in which we currently operate.

Insurance

        We are subject to claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of business. To cover these claims, we maintain professional liability insurance for our non-physician clinical professionals, as well as general liability and property insurance in amounts we believe are sufficient for our operations. Our professional liability insurance provides primary coverage on a claims-made basis per incident and in annual aggregate amounts. In addition, we currently maintain umbrella coverage, which provides additional coverage for general liability and automobile liability claims. We also maintain directors and officers liability, employer practices liability, and fiduciary liability insurance.

Competition

        The radiation therapy market is highly fragmented and our business is highly competitive. The principal competitive factors are patient service and satisfaction, quality of care, radiation oncologists' experience and expertise, strength of operational systems, access to advanced treatment procedures and planning techniques, ease of physical access, breadth of managed care contract coverage, strength of patient referrals, management strength and regional network market share. Several sources of competition exist, including sole practitioners, single and multiple specialty physician groups, hospitals and other operators of radiation therapy centers.

        There are approximately 2,200 radiation oncology centers in the United States, of which approximately 1,000 are freestanding, or non-hospital based, treatment centers. The radiation therapy market is highly fragmented with the top three outpatient radiation oncology providers accounting for approximately 25% of all free-standing treatment centers.

Legal Proceedings

        We are from time to time party to legal proceedings which arise in the normal course of business. We are not currently involved in any material litigation, the outcome of which would, in management's judgment based on information currently available, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Regulation

        The healthcare industry is highly regulated and the federal and state laws that affect our business are significant. Federal law and regulations are based primarily upon the Medicare and Medicaid programs, each of which is financed, at least in part, with federal money. State jurisdiction is based upon the state's authority to license certain categories of healthcare professionals and providers and the state's interest in regulating the quality of healthcare in the state, regardless of the source of payment.

83


Table of Contents


The significant areas of federal and state regulatory laws that could affect our ability to conduct our business include those regarding:

    the Medicare and Medicaid programs;

    false and other improper claims;

    the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA;

    civil and monetary penalties law;

    privacy, security and code set regulations;

    anti-kickback laws;

    the Stark Law and other self-referral and financial inducement laws;

    fee-splitting;

    corporate practice of medicine;

    anti-trust; and

    licensing.

        A violation of these laws could result in civil and criminal penalties, the refund of monies paid by government and/or private payors, exclusion of physicians, the affiliated physician groups or us from participation in Medicare and Medicaid programs and/or loss of physician license to practice medicine. We believe we exercise care in our efforts to structure our arrangements with our affiliated physician groups to comply with applicable federal and state laws. We have a Corporate Compliance Program consistent with relevant requirements set forth by the Office of the Inspector General, or OIG, and the Department of Health and Human Services, or HHS. Although we believe we are in material compliance with all applicable laws, these laws are complex and a review of our affiliated physician groups by a court, or law enforcement or regulatory authority could result in an adverse determination that could harm our business. Furthermore, the laws applicable to us are subject to change, interpretation and amendment, which could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business.

        We estimate that approximately 58%, 54%, 50%, 46% and 44% of our affiliated physician groups' net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010 and for fiscal years 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively, consisted of reimbursements from Medicaid and Medicare government programs. In order to be certified to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs, each provider must meet applicable HHS regulations and requirements relating to, among other things, the type of facility, operating policies and procedures, maintenance equipment, personnel, standards of medical care and compliance with applicable state and local laws. Our affiliated physician groups and their physicians are certified to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

Federal Law

        The federal healthcare laws apply in any case in which we are providing an item or service that is reimbursable under Medicare or Medicaid. The principal federal laws that affect our business include those that prohibit the filing of false or improper claims with the Medicare or Medicaid programs, those that prohibit unlawful inducements for the referral of business reimbursable under Medicare or Medicaid and those that prohibit the provision of certain services by a provider to a patient if the patient was referred by a physician with which the provider has certain types of financial relationships.

        False and Other Improper Claims.    The federal False Claims Act permits the government to fine us if we knowingly submit, or participate in submitting, any claims for payment to the federal government that are false or fraudulent, or that contain false or misleading information. A provider or billing agent

84


Table of Contents


can be found liable not only for submitting false claims with actual knowledge, but also for doing so with reckless disregard or deliberate ignorance of such falseness. In addition, knowingly making or using a false record or statement to receive payment from the federal government is also a violation. If we are ever found to have violated the False Claims Act, we could be required to make significant payments to the government (including damages and penalties in addition to the reimbursements previously collected) and could be excluded from participating in Medicare, Medicaid and other federal healthcare programs. Knowingly making, using or causing to be used claims that are false or fraudulent carries a penalty of up to $50,000 for each false record or statement.

        Under the False Claim Act's "whistleblower" provisions, a private individual is permitted to bring an action on behalf of the government alleging that the defendant has defrauded the government. After the individual has initiated the lawsuit, the government must decide whether to intervene (and become the primary prosecutor) or decline to join, in which case the individual may choose to pursue the case alone and retain primary control over the prosecution. If the litigation is successful, the individual is entitled to a percentage of whatever the government recovers, ranging from 15-30%, depending on whether the government intervened and a host of other factors. Recently, the number of suits brought against healthcare providers by individuals has increased dramatically. Indeed, under the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, states are being encouraged to adopt legislation similar to the federal False Claims Act to establish liability for the submission of fraudulent claims to the state Medicaid program. Even where a whistleblower action is dismissed with no monetary judgment, we may incur substantial legal fees and other costs relating to an investigation. Liability under the False Claims Act would adversely affect our financial performance and our ability to operate our business.

        While the criminal statutes generally are reserved for instances evidencing fraudulent intent, the civil and administrative penalty statutes are being applied by the federal government in an increasingly broad range of circumstances. Examples of the type of activity giving rise to liability for filing false claims include, but are not limited to:

    failure to comply with the technical billing requirements applicable to our Medicare and Medicaid business (e.g., mis-coding of services and billing for services not rendered);

    failure to comply with the Anti-Kickback Law and/or Stark Law (as described in more detail below);

    failure to comply with the Medicare physician supervision requirements applicable to the services our affiliated physician groups provide, or the Medicare documentation requirements concerning such physician supervision; and

    the past conduct of the companies we have acquired.

        Additionally, the federal government takes the position that a pattern of claiming reimbursement for unnecessary services violates these statutes if the claimant should have known that the services were unnecessary. The federal government also takes the position that claiming reimbursement for services that are substandard is a violation of these statutes if the claimant should have known that the care was substandard. Criminal penalties also are available in the case of claims filed with private insurers if the federal government shows that the claims constitute mail fraud or wire fraud or violate a number of federal criminal healthcare fraud statutes.

        Medicare carriers and state Medicaid agencies also have certain fraud and abuse authority. Private insurers may also bring actions under false claim laws. In addition, the federal government has engaged a number of nongovernmental-audit organizations to assist it in tracking and recovering false claims for healthcare services. The illegal practices targeted include:

    billing for tests/procedures not performed;

    billing for tests/procedures not medically necessary or not ordered by the physician;

85


Table of Contents

    "upcoding" tests/procedures to realize higher reimbursement than what is owed;

    offering inducements to physicians to encourage them to refer patients; and

    submitting duplicate billings.

        Further, on May 20, 2009, President Obama signed into law the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act of 2009, which greatly expanded the types of entities and conduct subject to the federal False Claims Act. The Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act appropriated over $500 million for federal law enforcement authorities to combat financial fraud in 2010 and 2011.

        Most recently, in March 2010, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the PPACA, also known as health care reform. PPACA, among other things, heightens potential liability under the federal False Claims Act by allowing more whistleblower lawsuits alleging violations through a narrowing of the triggers for the public disclosure bar. The public disclosure bar, which previously served to protect the health care industry from opportunistic whistleblower lawsuits, prohibits whistleblower lawsuits based on information that has already been publicly disclosed in certain ways. PPACA also amended the False Claims Act so that the public disclosure bar is not jurisdictional and does not require dismissal if the government opposes dismissal. Finally, PPACA relaxes the requirement that the whistleblower, where there has been a public disclosure, have direct knowledge of the action and merely requires that the whistleblower have independent knowledge which adds materially to the publicly disclosed allegations. While the full impact of these changes is not yet known, they are predicted to increase whistleblower lawsuits. If an individual were to file such a suit against us, even if without merit, we could incur significant legal fees in investigating and defending the action.

        Further, the PPACA now requires that overpayments be returned within 60 days of identification of the overpayment or the date a corresponding cost report is due (whichever is later), along with a written explanation of the reason for the overpayment. Any overpayment retained after this deadline will now be considered an "obligation" for purposes of the False Claims Act and subject to fines and penalties.

        In addition to the federal False Claims Act, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009, or the HITECH Act, created new federal statutes designed to combat fraud and false statements in the healthcare context. The false statement provision prohibits knowingly and willingly falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services. A violation of this statute is a felony and may result in fines, imprisonment or exclusion from government sponsored programs.

        We believe our billing and documentation practices comply with applicable laws and regulations in all material respects. Our Chief Compliance Officer and Director of Billing along with our professional coders, work together to establish coding and billing rules and procedures to be utilized at our radiation oncology treatment centers and provide consistency across centers. Billing and collection functions are conducted at two centralized locations. In each radiation oncology treatment center, trained staff are in charge of executing these rules and procedures with the technical personnel located at each treatment center. To provide an external check on the integrity of the coding process, we conduct chart audits and have also retained the services of a third-party consultant to review and assess our coding procedures and processes on a periodic basis. Although we monitor our billing practices for compliance with applicable laws, such laws are very complex and we might not have sufficient regulatory guidance to assist us in our interpretation of these laws. A determination that we have violated these laws could result in significant civil or criminal penalties which could harm our business. We and/or our affiliated physician groups could also become the subject of a federal or state civil or

86


Table of Contents


criminal investigation or action, could be required to defend the results of such investigation and be subjected to possible civil and criminal fines. We and/or our affiliated physician groups could also be sued by private payors and be excluded from Medicare, Medicaid or other federally funded healthcare programs.

        HIPAA.    In addition to creating civil and criminal liability in connection with the federal statutes discussed above, HIPAA also establishes uniform standards governing the conduct of certain electronic health care transactions and protecting the security and privacy of individually identifiable health information maintained or transmitted by certain covered entities, including health care providers.

        HIPAA includes statutory provisions which have authorized HHS to issue regulations and standards for electronic transactions regarding the privacy and security of healthcare information which apply to us and our treatment centers. The HIPAA regulations include:

    privacy regulations that protect individual privacy by limiting the uses and disclosures of individually identifiable health information and creating various privacy rights for individuals;

    security regulations that require covered entities to implement administrative, physical and technological safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of individually identifiable health information in electronic form; and

    transaction standards regulations that prescribe specific transaction formats and data code sets for specified electronic healthcare transactions.

        If we fail to comply with the HIPAA regulations, we and/or our affiliated physician groups may be subject to civil monetary penalties and, in certain circumstances, criminal penalties. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, commonly referred to as the economic stimulus package, included the HITECH Act which made a variety of changes to HIPAA, including the creation of a multi-tier approach for civil monetary penalties applicable to HIPAA violations:.

    In the absence of knowledge of a violation occurring before February 18, 2009, the civil monetary penalty applicable to a covered entity shall be $100 per violation not to exceed $25,000 for all identical violations in a calendar year. For violations occurring on or after February 18, 2009, the penalty can range from $100 to $50,000 per violation not to exceed $1.5 million for all identical violations in a calendar year;

    If the violation occurred from reasonable cause but not willful neglect, the penalty shall be at least $1,000 to $50,000 per violation not to exceed $1.5 million for all identical violations in a calendar year;

    If the violation occurred from willful neglect but was corrected within 30 days, the penalty shall be at least $10,000 to $50,000 per violation not to exceed $1.5 million for all identical violations in a calendar year; and

    If the violation occurred from willful neglect and was not corrected within 30 days, the penalty shall be at least $50,000 per violation not to exceed $1.5 million for all identical violations in a calendar year.

        The HIPAA regulations related to privacy establish comprehensive federal standards relating to the use and disclosure of individually identifiable health information or protected health information, PHI. The privacy regulations establish limits on the use and disclosure of protected health information, provide for patients' rights, including rights to access, request amendment of, and receive an accounting of certain disclosures of protected health information and require certain safeguards to protect protected health information. For example, HHS has indicated that cells and tissues are not protected health information, but that analyses of them are protected. HHS has stated that if a person provides cells to a researcher and tells the researcher that the cells are an identified individual's cancer cells,

87


Table of Contents


that accompanying statement is protected health information about that individual. In addition, each covered entity must contractually bind individuals and entities that furnish services to the covered entity or perform a function on its behalf, and to which the covered entity discloses protected health information, to restrictions on the use and disclosure of that information. In general, the privacy regulations do not supersede state laws that are more stringent or grant greater privacy rights to individuals. Thus, we must reconcile the privacy regulations and other state privacy laws. We have implemented extensive policies and procedures designed to protect our affiliated physician groups' patients' privacy and have designated a Privacy Officer to comply with these regulations. We believe our operations are in material compliance with the privacy regulations, but there can be no assurance that the federal government would determine that we are in compliance.

        The HIPAA security regulations establish detailed requirements for safeguarding protected health information that is electronically transmitted or electronically stored. Some of the security regulations are technical in nature, while others may be addressed through policies and procedures. We have implemented extensive policies and procedures designed to protect our affiliated physician groups' patients' health information and have appointed a Security Officer to comply with these regulations. Nevertheless, there can be no assurances that the government would deem us to be in full compliance with the security regulations.

        The HIPAA transaction standards regulations are intended to simplify the electronic claims process and other healthcare transactions by encouraging electronic transmission rather than paper submission. These regulations provide for uniform standards or data reporting, formatting and coding that we must use in certain transactions with health plans. We have implemented or upgraded our computer and information systems as we believe necessary to comply with our transaction standards regulations. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the federal government would deem us to be in full compliance.

        The HITECH Act also dramatically expanded, among other things: (1) the scope of HIPAA to include "business associates" who receive or obtain protected health information, or PHI, in connection with providing a service to the covered entity; (2) substantive security and privacy obligations, including notification requirements to affected individuals and others of breaches of unsecured PHI; and (3) restrictions on marketing communications and creation of a prohibition on covered entities or business associates from receiving remuneration in exchange for PHI.

        We are currently unable to estimate the total cost of complying with these regulations and the consequences to our business. Although we believe that we are in material compliance with the applicable HIPAA standards, rules and regulations, as amended by the HITECH Act, if we fail to comply with these standards, we could be subject to criminal penalties and civil sanctions.

        In addition to federal regulations issued under HIPAA, some states have enacted privacy and security statutes and/or regulations that are, in some cases, more stringent than those issued under HIPAA. In those cases, it may be necessary to modify our operations and procedures to comply with the more stringent state laws, which may entail significant and costly changes for us. We believe that we are in compliance with such state laws and regulations. However, if we fail to comply with applicable state laws and regulations, we could be vulnerable to the imposition of additional sanctions.

        Federal Anti-Kickback Law.    Federal law commonly known as the "Anti-Kickback Statute" prohibits the knowing and willful solicitation, receipt, offer or provision of remuneration (direct or indirect, overt or covert, in cash or in kind) which is intended to induce:

    the referral of an individual for a service for which payment may be made by Medicare and Medicaid or certain other federal healthcare programs; or

88


Table of Contents

    the ordering, purchasing, leasing or arranging for, or recommending the purchase, lease or order of, any service or item for which payment may be made by Medicare, Medicaid or certain other federal healthcare programs.

        The definition of "remuneration" has been broadly interpreted to include anything of value. This may include, for example, gifts, discount, credit arrangements, waivers of payments, the furnishing of supplies or equipment and providing anything at less than its fair market value. Nevertheless, under the "one purpose test," courts have found prohibited remuneration which is offered or paid for otherwise legitimate purposes if the circumstances show that one purpose of the arrangement is to induce referrals. Even bona fide investment interests in a healthcare provider may be questioned under the Anti-Kickback Statute if the government concludes that the opportunity to invest was offered as an inducement for referrals. The penalties for violations of this law are severe and include criminal penalties and civil sanctions including fines and/or imprisonment and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

        As a result of the passage of PPACA, a person no longer needs to have actual knowledge of the Anti-Kickback Statute nor the specific intent to violate the statute in order to be subject to its broad penalties. This reduced intent requirement overrides the higher "knowingly and willfully" intent requirement adopted by certain courts and could allow prosecutors to base anti-kickback charges on apparently legitimate practices by individuals or companies acting without any intent to violate the law or knowledge that they were doing so. PPACA also amends the Anti-Kickback Statute to explicitly provide that a violation of the statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim under the federal False Claims Act, discussed above. Finally, PPACA updates the definition of a "health care fraud offense" in the federal criminal code to include violations of, among other laws, the Anti-Kickback Statute. This change will enable increased enforcement of alleged violations of the Anti-Kickback Statute.

        In recognition of the practical reality that the Anti-Kickback Statute may prohibit innocuous or beneficial arrangements within the healthcare industry, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued regulations in July of 1991 that create a series of "safe-harbors." These regulations set forth certain provisions which, if met in form and substance, assure health care providers and other parties that they will not be prosecuted under the Anti-Kickback Statute. Failure to meet the requirements of a safe harbor, however, does not necessarily mean a transaction violates the Anti-Kickback Statute.

        There are several aspects of our relationships with physicians to which the Anti-Kickback Statute may be relevant. As billing agents for our affiliated physician groups, we claim reimbursement from Medicare or Medicaid for services that are ordered, in some cases, by our radiation oncologists who hold shares, or options to purchase shares, of our common stock. In addition, other physicians who become investors in us pursuant to or after the private note offering may refer patients to us for those services. Although neither the existing nor potential investments in us by physicians qualify for protection under the safe harbor regulations, we do not believe that these activities fall within the type of activities the Anti-Kickback Statute was intended to prohibit. We also claim reimbursement from Medicare and Medicaid for services referred from other healthcare providers with whom we have financial arrangements. While we believe that these arrangements generally fall within applicable safe harbors or otherwise do not violate the law, there can be no assurance that the government will agree, in which event we could be harmed.

        We believe our operations are in material compliance with applicable Medicare and fraud and abuse laws and seek to structure arrangements to comply with applicable safe harbors where reasonably possible. Even though we continuously strive to comply with the requirements of the Anti-Kickback Statute, liability may still arise because of the intentions or actions of the parties with whom we do business. In addition, we may have Anti-Kickback liability based on arrangements established by the entities we have acquired if any of those arrangements involved actions, even in the absence of specific

89


Table of Contents


intent, to exchange remuneration for referrals, as prohibited by the Anti-Kickback Statute. If our arrangements were found to be illegal, we, our affiliated physician groups and/or the individual physicians would be subject to civil and criminal penalties, including exclusion from the participation in government reimbursement programs, and our arrangements would not be legally enforceable, which could materially adversely affect us.

        The OIG issues advisory opinions that provide advice on whether proposed business arrangements violate the anti-kickback law. In Advisory Opinion 98-4, the OIG addressed physician practice management arrangements. In Advisory Opinion 98-4, the OIG found that administrative services fees based on a percentage of affiliated physician group revenue may violate the Anti-kickback Statute. This Advisory Opinion suggests that OIG might challenge certain prices below Medicare reimbursement rates or arrangements based on a percentage of affiliated physician group revenue. We believe that the fees we charge for our services under our MSAs are commensurate with the fair market value of the services. While we believe our arrangements are in material compliance with applicable law and regulations, OIG's advisory opinion suggests there is a risk of an adverse OIG finding relating to the business practices reviewed in the advisory opinion. Any such finding could have a material adverse impact on us.

        The Stark Self-Referral Law.    Our affiliated physicians are also subject to federal law which prohibits payments for referral of patients and referrals by physicians to healthcare providers with whom the physicians have a financial relationship. The Ethics in Patient Referral Act of 1989, commonly referred to as the federal physician self-referral prohibition or Stark Law, is a strict liability statute prohibiting a physician from referring a patient to an entity for certain designated health services reimbursable by Medicare or Medicaid if the physician (or an immediate family member) has any financial arrangement with the entity and no statutory or regulatory exception applies. The Stark Law also prohibits the entity from billing for any such prohibited referral. The designated health services covered by the law include radiology services, infusion therapy, radiation therapy and supplies, outpatient prescription drugs and hospital services, among others.

        In addition to the conduct directly prohibited by the law, the statute also prohibits "circumvention schemes" designed to obtain referrals indirectly that cannot be made directly. In addition, any person who presents or causes to be presented a claim to the Medicare or Medicaid program in violation of the Stark Law is subject to civil monetary penalties for each claim submitted, an assessment of up to three times the amount claimed, and possible exclusion from participation in federal health care programs. Claims submitted in violation of the Stark Law may not be paid by Medicare or Medicaid, and any person collecting any amounts in connection with a prohibited bill is legally obligated to refund such amounts.

        The Stark Law contains exceptions applicable to our operations. For example, the law explicitly excepts any referrals of radiation oncologists for radiation therapy if (1) the request is part of a consultation initiated by another physician; and (2) the tests or services are furnished by or under the supervision of the radiation oncologist. We believe the services rendered by our radiation oncologists comply with this exception.

        Some physicians who are not radiation oncologists are employed by companies or by professional corporations owned, in part, by certain of our directors with which we have MSAs. To the extent these professional corporations employ such physicians, and they are deemed to have made referrals for radiation therapy, their referrals will be permissible under the Stark Law to the extent that they meet a separate exception for employees. The employment exception requires, among other things, that the compensation be consistent with the fair market value of the services provided, and that it not take into account (directly or indirectly) the volume or value of any referrals by the referring physician.

        When physician employees who are not radiation oncologists have ownership interests in our company, additional Stark Law exceptions may apply, including the exception for in-office ancillary

services. Another potentially applicable Stark Law exception is one for physician's ownership of publicly traded securities in a corporation with shareholders' equity exceeding $75 million as of the end of our most recent fiscal year.

        Most recently, PPACA, created new provisions applicable to the Stark Law exception for in-office ancillary services. These provisions are designed to prevent unnecessary referrals for specialists. For MRI, CT, PET and any other designated health service, the referring physician is required to (i) inform the patient in writing at the time of the referral to his own physician group that the patient may obtain the services from any provider; and (ii) provide the patient with a written list of providers who furnished such services in the area where the patient lives. PPACA also creates a statutory disclosure protocol for violations of the Stark Law and authorizes HHS to reduce the amount due and owing for violations taking into consideration various factors in HHS' discretion.

        We believe that our current operations comply in all material respects with the Stark Law and do not believe that we have established any arrangements or schemes involving any service of ours which would violate the Stark Law or the prohibition against schemes designed to circumvent the Stark Law. Although we rely on various Stark Law exceptions that except either the referral or the financial relationship involved, we may not be aware of all the financial arrangements the physician groups with whom we contract and their physicians and immediate family members have with entities to which they refer patients.

        As a general matter, both federal and state government agencies are continuing heightened and coordinated civil and criminal enforcement efforts. In issuing agency work plans, the federal government has made clear its intent to continue to scrutinize, among other thing, the billing practices of hospitals and other providers of health care services. The federal government has also increased funding to fight healthcare fraud and is coordinating its enforcement efforts among various agencies, including the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, OIG and state Medicaid fraud control units. More specifically, PPACA increases funding for the Heath Care Fraud and Abuse Control Account for the next ten years by $10 million annually plus an additional $250 million between 2011 and 2016. Additionally, the PPACA authorizes the suspension of Medicare and Medicaid payments pending investigation of a credible allegation of fraud. As a result, in addition to legal and operational costs associated with a pending investigation, our revenues could be adversely affected by suspension of Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement to our affiliated physician groups.

State Law

        Typically, states are free to, and do, enact their own penalty provisions with respect to violations of health care fraud statutes such as anti-kickback and anti-referral laws. In some states, these penalties may include exclusion from the state Medicaid program. However, PPACA now requires states to terminate individuals or entities from their state Medicaid programs if they have been terminated from Medicare or from another state's Medicaid program. In addition, state Medicaid programs are required by PPACA to exclude an individual or entity that has failed to repay overpayments, been suspended, terminated or excluded from Medicaid participation, or is affiliated with any such entity.

        State Anti-Kickback Laws.    Many states in which we operate have laws that prohibit the payment of kickbacks in return for the referral of patients. Some of these laws apply only to services reimbursable under the state Medicaid program. However, a number of these laws apply to all healthcare services in the state, regardless of the source of payment for the service. Although we believe that these laws prohibit payments to referral sources only where a principal purpose for the payment is for the referral, the laws in most states regarding kickbacks have been subjected to limited judicial and regulatory interpretation and, therefore, no assurances can be given that our activities will be found to be in compliance. Noncompliance with such laws could have a material adverse effect upon us and subject us and the physicians involved to penalties and sanctions.

91


Table of Contents

        State Self-Referral Laws.    A number of states in which we operate, such as California and Florida, have enacted or are considering enacting self-referral laws that are similar in purpose to the Stark Law. However, each state law is unique. The state laws and regulations vary significantly from state to state, are often vague and, in many cases, have not been widely interpreted by courts or regulatory agencies. For example, some states only prohibit referrals where the physician's financial relationship with a healthcare provider is based upon an investment interest. Other state laws apply only to a limited number of designated health services. Finally, some states do not prohibit referrals, but merely require that a patient be informed of the financial relationship before the referral is made.

        These statutes and regulations can apply to services reimbursed by both governmental and private payors. Violations of these laws may result in prohibition of payment for services rendered, loss of licenses as well as fines and criminal penalties. State statutes and regulations affecting the referral of patients to healthcare providers range from statutes and regulations that are substantially the same as the federal laws and safe harbor regulations to a simple requirement that physicians or other healthcare professionals disclose to patients any financial relationship the physicians or healthcare professionals have with a healthcare provider that is being recommended to the patients. Adverse judicial or administrative interpretations of any of these laws could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition. In addition, expansion of our operations into new jurisdictions, or new interpretations of laws in existing jurisdictions, could require structural and organizational modifications of our relationships with physician groups and their physicians to comply with that jurisdiction's laws. Such structural and organizational modifications could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition. We believe that we are in compliance with the self-referral law of each state in which we have a financial relationship with a physician group and/or physician.

        Fee-Splitting Laws.    Many states in which we operate prohibit the splitting or sharing of fees between physicians and non-physicians. These laws vary from state to state and are enforced by courts and regulatory agencies, each with broad discretion. Most of the states with fee-splitting laws only prohibit a physician from sharing fees with a referral source. However, some states have a broader prohibition against any splitting of a physician's fees, regardless of whether the other party is a referral source. Some states have interpreted management agreements between entities and physicians as unlawful fee-splitting. In most cases, this is not considered to be fee-splitting when the payment made by the physician is reasonable reimbursement for services rendered on the physician's behalf.

        In certain states, we receive fees under our MSA from physician groups owned by certain of our shareholders. We believe we structured these fee provisions to comply with applicable state laws relating to fee-splitting. For example, in Florida we have modified our MSAs to comply with state agency interpretations of these laws by having our affiliated physician groups pay flat, fair market value fees for certain marketing services. However, there can be no certainty that, if challenged, either us or the affiliated physician groups will be found to be in compliance with each state's fee-splitting laws, and, if challenged successfully, this could have a material adverse effect upon us.

        We believe our arrangements with physician groups and/or physicians comply in all material respects with the fee-splitting laws of the states in which we operate. Nevertheless, it is possible regulatory authorities or other parties could claim we are engaged in fee-splitting. If such a claim were successfully asserted in any jurisdiction, our affiliated physician groups and/or their radiation oncologists, could be subject to civil and criminal penalties and professional discipline, and we could be required to restructure our contractual and other arrangements. Any restructuring of our contractual and other arrangements with affiliated physician groups could result in lower revenue from such affiliated physician groups, increased expenses in the management of the treatment centers associated with such affiliated physician groups and reduced influence over the business decisions of such affiliated physician groups. Alternatively, some of our existing contracts could be found to be illegal and unenforceable, which could result in the termination of those contracts and an associated loss of

92


Table of Contents


revenue. In addition, expansion of our operations to other states with fee-splitting prohibitions may require structural and organizational modification to the form of relationships that we currently have with affiliated physician groups and their physicians and hospitals. Any modifications could result in less profitable relationships with affiliated physician groups and their physicians and hospitals, less influence over the business decisions of affiliated physician groups and their physicians and failure to achieve our growth objectives.

        Corporate Practice of Medicine.    We are not licensed to practice medicine. The practice of medicine is conducted solely by the licensed radiation oncologists of our affiliated physician groups. The manner in which licensed physicians can be organized to perform and bill for medical services is governed by the laws of the state in which medical services are provided and by the medical boards or other entities authorized by such states to oversee the practice of medicine. Most states' corporate practice of medicine laws prohibit any person or entity other than a licensed professional from holding him, her or itself out as a provider of diagnoses, treatment or care of patients. Many states extend this prohibition to bar companies not wholly-owned by licensed physicians from employing physicians to maintain physician independence and clinical judgment.

        Business corporations are generally not permitted under certain state laws to exercise control over the medical judgments or decisions of physicians, or engage in certain practices such as fee-splitting with physicians. In states where we are not permitted to own a medical practice, we perform only non-medical and administrative and support services, do not represent to the public or patients that we offer professional medical services and do not exercise influence or control over the practice of medicine.

        Corporate Practice of Medicine laws vary widely regarding the extent to which a licensed physician can affiliate with corporate entities for the delivery of medical services. Florida is an example of a state that requires all practicing physicians to meet requirements for safe practice, but it has no provisions setting forth how physicians can be organized. In Florida, it is not uncommon for business corporations to own medical practices. We have developed arrangements which we believe are in compliance with the Corporate Practice of Medicine laws in the states in which we operate.

        We believe our operations and contractual arrangements as currently conducted are in material compliance with existing applicable laws. However, we can make no guarantees that we would be successful if our existing organization and our contractual arrangements with the professional corporations were challenged as constituting the unlicensed practice of medicine. In addition, we might not be able to enforce certain of our arrangements, including non-competition agreements. While the precise penalties for violation of state laws relating to the corporate practice of medicine vary from state to state, violations could lead to fines, injunctive relief dissolving a corporate offender or criminal felony charges. There can be no assurance that review of our business and our affiliated physician groups by courts or regulatory authorities will not result in a determination that could adversely affect our and their operations or that the healthcare regulatory environment will not change so as to restrict existing operations or our and their expansion. In the event of action by any regulatory authority limiting or prohibiting us or any affiliated physician group from carrying on business or from expanding operations to certain jurisdictions, structural and organizational modifications of us may be required, which could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business.

        Antitrust Laws.    In connection with the Corporate Practice of Medicine laws discussed above, all of the physician practices with which we are affiliated are necessarily organized as separate legal entities. As such, our physician groups may be deemed to be persons separate both from us and from each other under the antitrust laws and, accordingly, subject to a wide range of laws that prohibit anticompetitive conduct among separate legal entities. In addition, we also are seeking to acquire or affiliate with established and reputable practices in our target geographic markets and any market concentration could lead to antitrust claims.

93


Table of Contents

        We believe we are in compliance with federal and state antitrust laws and intend to comply with any state and federal laws that may affect our development of integrated radiation oncology treatment centers. There can be no assurance, however, that a review of our business by courts or regulatory authorities would not adversely affect the operations of us and/or our affiliated physician groups.

        State Licensing.    As a provider of radiation therapy services in the states in which we operate, we must maintain machine registrations for certain types of our equipment including our linacs and simulators. Additionally, we must maintain radioactive material licenses for each of our treatment centers which utilize radioactive sources. We believe that we possess or have applied for all requisite state and local licenses and are in material compliance with all state and local licensing requirements.

Reimbursement and Cost Containment

        Reimbursement.    We provide a full range of both professional and technical services. Those services include the initial consultation, clinical treatment planning, simulation, medical radiation physics, dosimetry, treatment devices, special services and clinical treatment management procedures.

        The initial consultation is charged as a professional fee for evaluation of the patient prior to the decision to treat the patient with radiation therapy. The clinical treatment planning also is reimbursed as a technical and professional component when involving IMRT and professional only in connection with non-IMRT treatment planning. Simulation of the patient prior to treatment involves both a technical and a professional component, as the treatment plan is verified with the use of a simulator accompanied by the physician's approval of the plan. The medical radiation physics, dosimetry, treatment devices and special services also include both professional and technical components. The basic dosimetry calculation is accomplished, treatment devices are specified and approved, and the physicist consults with the radiation oncologist, all as professional and technical components of the charge. Special blocks, wedges, shields or casts are fabricated, all as a technical and professional component.

        The delivery of the radiation oncology treatment from the linac is a technical charge. The clinical treatment administrative services fee is the professional fee charged weekly for the physician's management of the patient's treatment. Global fees containing both professional and technical components also are charged for specialized treatment such as hyperthermia, clinical intracavitary hyperthermia, clinical brachytherapy, interstitial radioelement applications and remote after-loading of radioactive sources.

        Coding and billing for radiation therapy is complex. We maintain a staff of coding professionals responsible for interpreting the services documented on the patients' charts to determine the appropriate coding of services for billing of third-party payors. In addition, we do not provide coding and billing services to hospitals where our affiliated physician groups are providing only the professional component of radiation oncology treatment services. We provide training for our coding staff and believe that our coding and billing expertise results in appropriate and timely reimbursement.

        Cost Containment.    We derived approximately 50%, 46%, and 44% of our affiliated physician groups' net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively, from payments made by Medicare and Medicaid. Our net revenue, whether from providers who bill third-party payors directly or from our direct billing, are impacted by Medicare laws and regulations.

        In recent years, the federal government has sought to constrain the growth of spending in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Through the Medicare program, the federal government pays for physician services under the Medicare Physician fee Schedule, derived from a resource-based relative value scale, or RBRVS. Under the RBRVS fee schedule, each physician service is given a weight that measures its costliness relative to other physician services. The basic approach for calculating the relative weight is based on three components that make up a physician's cost: (i) work component (reflecting the physician's time and work intensity); (ii) practice expense component (reflecting the device used in a given service and other overhead costs); and (iii) malpractice component (reflecting malpractice expenses associated with the service). The RBRVS is adjusted each year and is subject to increases or decreases at the discretion of Congress. For 2010, CMS announced a number of changes, which includes, among other things, a change to the data source used to calculate the practice expense component. For 2010, CMS projected that the combined impact of its changes would be an estimated 1% payment reduction in radiation oncology (and up to a 5% payment reduction by 2013 when these changes are fully implemented). Such changes may result in reductions in payment rates for procedures provided by our affiliated physician groups. RBRVS-type payment systems also have been adopted by certain private third-party payors and may become a predominant payment methodology. Broader implementation of such programs could reduce payments by private third-party payors and could indirectly reduce our operating margins to the extent that the cost of providing management services related to such procedures would not be proportionately reduced. To the extent our costs increase, our affiliated physician groups may not be able to recover such cost increases from government reimbursement programs. In addition, because of cost containment measures and market changes in non-governmental insurance plans, we may not be able to shift cost increases to non-governmental payors. Changes in the RBRVS could result in a reduction from historical levels in per patient Medicare revenue received by our affiliated physician groups; however, we do not believe such reductions would, if implemented, result in a material adverse effect on us.

        For services for which we bill Medicare as the billing agent for our affiliated physician groups or their physicians, our affiliated physician groups are paid under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule which is updated annually. Under the existing Medicare statutory formula, payments under the Physician Fee Schedule would have decreased over the past several years without congressional intervention. For 2010, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, projected a rate reduction of 21.2% under the statutory formula. A number of legislative initiatives have prevented this reduction thus far, but on an incremental basis. The latest was the Preservation of Access to Care for Medicare Beneficiaries and Pension Relief Act of 2010, signed into law on June 25, 2010, which not only prevented the rate reduction, but also increased payment rates by 2.2%, effective June 1, 2010 through November 30, 2010. For 2011, CMS is projecting a rate reduction of 6.1%, but this projection does not account for the 2010 legislative changes to the Physician Fee Schedule updates. If Congress fails to intervene to prevent the negative update factor in the future, the resulting decrease in payment will adversely impact our revenues and results of operations.

        Additionally, the PPACA will substantially change the way health care is financed by both governmental and private insurers and may negatively impact payment rates for certain services. In addition, Medicare, Medicaid and other government sponsored healthcare programs are increasingly shifting to some form of managed care. Although governmental payment reductions have not materially affected us in the past, it is possible that such changes in the future could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations, particularly given the sweeping changes provided for in the PPACA. We expect that there will continue to be proposals to reduce or limit Medicare and Medicaid payment for services.

        Rates paid by private third-party payors, including those that provide Medicare supplemental insurance, are based on established physician fees and are generally higher than Medicare payment rates. Nevertheless, third-party payors may impose limits on coverage or reimbursement for radiation

95

therapy services. Furthermore, changes in the mix of patients between non-governmental payors and government sponsored healthcare programs, and among different types of non-government payor sources, could have a material adverse effect on us.

        Reevaluations and Examination of Billing.    Payors periodically reevaluate the services they cover. Funds received under all healthcare reimbursement programs are subject to audit with respect to the proper billing for physician services. Retroactive adjustments of revenue from these programs could occur. In some cases, government payors such as Medicare and Medicaid also may seek to recoup payments previously made for services determined not to be covered. Any such action by payors would have an adverse affect on our net revenue and earnings.

        Due to the uncertain nature of coding for radiation therapy services, we could be required to change coding practices or repay amounts paid for incorrect practices, either of which could have a materially adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

Other Regulations

        In addition, we are subject to licensing and regulation under federal, state and local laws relating to the collecting, storing, handling and disposal of medical specimens, infectious and hazardous waste and radioactive materials as well as the safety and health of our employees. The PET/CT services provided by certain of our affiliated physician groups require the use of radioactive materials. We believe such operations are in material compliance with applicable federal and state laws and regulations relating to the collection, storage, handling, treatment and disposal of all medical specimens, infectious and hazardous waste and radioactive materials. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that our current or past operations would be deemed to be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and any noncompliance could result in a material adverse effect on us. Furthermore, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of accidental contamination or injury from these hazardous materials. We utilize licensed vendors for the disposal of such specimens and waste. In addition, we maintain professional liability insurance that covers such matters with coverage that we believe is consistent with industry practice and appropriate for the risks inherent in our business. Despite such precautions, in the event of an accident, we could face liability that exceeds the limits or falls outside the coverage of our insurance. We could also incur significant costs in order to comply with current or future environmental laws and regulations. To date, we have not had material expenses related to environmental or health and safety laws.

        In addition to our comprehensive regulation of safety in the workplace, the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, has established extensive requirements relating to workplace safety for healthcare employees, whose workers may be exposed to blood-borne pathogens, such as HIV and the hepatitis B virus. These regulations require work practice controls, protective clothing and equipment, training, medical follow-up, vaccinations and other measures designed to minimize exposure to, and transmission of, blood-borne pathogens.

        Our Board of Directors is responsible for the management of our business. Directors who are elected at an annual meeting of stockholders serve in their position until the next annual meeting and until their successors are elected and qualified. Because our securities are not listed on any stock exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, we are not required to have an independent board of directors or a separately designated audit committee whose members are independent, and therefore our board has not affirmatively determined whether the members of our Board of Directors would be considered independent under Section 303A.02 of the Listed Company Manual of the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE. If our securities were to be listed on any stock exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, we believe that we would be considered a "controlled company" as defined in the NYSE listing standards and, therefore, could elect to be exempted from the NYSE requirements that the Board have a majority of independent directors and that we have a separate nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors. However, we believe that Dr. Marks would be considered independent under the NYSE listing standards. We do not believe that Drs. Paryani and Stella and Messrs. Choate, Nadauld and Weltman would be considered independent based upon NYSE listing standards.

Board Committees

        Our Board of Directors has a standing Audit Committee and Compensation Committee. The Audit Committee is composed of Messrs. Nadauld and Weltman. Our Board of Directors has not affirmatively determined whether any of the members of the current Audit Committee is an "audit committee financial expert". However, we believe that Mr. Nadauld would be considered an audit committee financial expert if our Board of Directors were to make such a determination. The Compensation Committee is composed of Messrs. Nadauld and Weltman.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

    Overview

        This compensation discussion describes the material elements of the compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to our officers who are considered to be "named executive officers" during 2009, our last fiscal year. "Named executive officers" or "NEOs" refers to David S. Chernow, our former President and Chief Executive Officer; L. Duane Choate, who served as our Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer in 2009 and is now our President and Chief Executive Officer; Russell D. Phillips, Jr., Executive Vice President, Chief Compliance Officer, General Counsel and Secretary; William L. Pegler, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer; and Joseph Stork, Senior Vice President and Chief Development Officer.

    Compensation Committee

        The Compensation Committee of our Board, or the "Compensation Committee," has responsibility for establishing, implementing and continually monitoring adherence with our compensation philosophy. The Committee ensures that the total compensation paid to our named executive officers is in the amounts and subdivided into proportions of short and long-term components, cash and equity, and fixed contingent payments that we believe are most appropriate to incentivize, retain, and reward our named executive officers for achieving our objectives. Our Compensation Committee met four times during 2009 and acted by unanimous written consent on one occasion during 2009.

        Our Compensation Committee reviews the compensation of our named executive officers on at least an annual basis. In addition, our Compensation Committee is responsible for determining all stock-based and Executive Incentive Plan performance-based targets and cash awards for our named executive officers. Executive Incentive Plan targets are generally determined before the beginning of each year or at the time our annual budget is approved by the Board of Directors, whichever is later and are based on calendar year financial performance. The Compensation Committee has the authority to retain compensation consultants to assist it in making its decisions. If consultants are retained by the Compensation Committee, they are retained directly by the Compensation Committee and the decision to retain them is the Compensation Committee's alone. The Compensation Committee's decisions in 2009 were made without the use of compensation consultants.

    Role of Our Executive Officers in Compensation Process

        In 2009, Mr. Chernow, then our President and Chief Executive Officer, served as a member of the Compensation Committee and offered recommendations on compensation of the NEOs with the exception of himself. As a member of the Compensation Committee, Mr. Chernow participated in the final determinations of compensation levels for the other NEOs, but he did not participate in the Committee's final determinations and decisions concerning his own compensation which were made in his absence. Mr. Chernow resigned from the position of President and Chief Executive Officer as of February 26, 2010 at which time Mr. Choate was appointed our President and Chief Executive Officer.

        Mr. Choate is also invited to attend meetings of the Compensation Committee, as our current President and Chief Executive Officer, and offers recommendations on compensation of other executives, but he is not a member of the Compensation Committee. During Mr. Chernow's tenure as President and Chief Executive Officer, the Board believed it appropriate to have the Chief Executive Officer as a member of the Compensation Committee when the Company neither had nor contemplated having publicly registered securities. In contemplation of the Senior Notes offering and the possibility that the same would be registered securities, Mr. Choate was not appointed as a member of the Compensation Committee upon commencing service as our Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Choate neither votes on the final determinations and decisions regarding the compensation of the other NEOs

or his own compensation as such decisions related to Mr. Choate are made by the Compensation Committee in his absence.

    General Compensation Philosophy

        The objective of our executive compensation program is to advance our stockholders' interests by attracting, motivating and retaining executives of the highest caliber and by aligning our executives' interests with those of our stockholders. The program is designed to reward performance and dedication, and to hold executives accountable for company-wide results. The Compensation Committee believes that compensation paid to our executives should be closely aligned with our performance on both a short-term and long-term basis, linked to specific, measurable results intended to create value for our stockholders, and should assist us in attracting and retaining key executives critical to our long-term success. To that end, the Compensation Committee believes executive compensation packages provided by the Company to its NEOs should include both cash and stock-based compensation that reward performance.

        All named executive officers have a significant element of compensation at risk in the form of cash bonuses tied to Company performance measured by Adjusted EBITDA. Each of our executives is assigned an annual target bonus which is stated as a percentage of his annual base salary. The percentage target increases along with the NEO's responsibilities within our Company and with the NEO's ability to influence the overall results of our Company. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization less certain non-recurring items which if taken into account for purposes of the Executive Incentive Plan would penalize our executives for items beyond their control and/or items not reflective of our actual operating results.

    Elements of Compensation

        The elements of compensation we provide to our named executive officers are:

    base salary;

    performance-based cash awards under our Executive Incentive Plan;

    cash bonuses paid at the discretion of the Compensation Committee;

    long-term equity incentive awards; and

    severance arrangements and benefits.

        Subject to limited exceptions primarily related to car allowances, short-term disability insurance and a benefit plan for the reimbursement of out-of-pocket healthcare expenses, we do not provide perquisites for our NEOs on a basis that is different from other full-time employees. We do not have a strict policy for allocating between long-term and currently-paid-out compensation, or between cash and non-cash compensation. In general, however, the three most important elements of our compensation program—base salary, annual performance-based Executive Incentive Plan cash bonuses, and equity grants vesting over the course of several years—are allocated for each named executive officer based upon our assessment of that individual's role in our Company's success, as measured by our achievement of Adjusted EBITDA targets. For our named executive officers, this typically results in a large portion of overall compensation being tied to overall Company performance.

    Overview

        For all NEOs compensation is intended to be performance-based. The Compensation Committee believes that compensation paid to executive officers should be closely aligned with the performance of the Company on both a short-term and long-term basis, linked to specific, measurable results intended

102


Table of Contents

to create value for stockholders, and that such compensation should assist the Company in attracting and retaining key executives critical to its long-term success.

        In establishing compensation for executive officers, the following are the Compensation Committee's objectives:

    Attract and retain individuals of superior ability and managerial talent;

    Ensure executive officer compensation is aligned with our corporate strategies, business objectives and the long-term interests of our stockholders and bondholders;

    Increase the incentive to achieve key strategic and financial performance measures by linking incentive award opportunities to the achievement of performance goals in these areas; and

    Enhance the executives' incentive to maximize stockholder value, as well as promote retention of key people, by providing a portion of total compensation opportunities for executive management in the form of direct ownership in the Company through stock options.

        The Company's overall compensation program is structured to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified executive officers by paying them competitively, consistent with the Company's success and their contribution to that success. The Company provides a base salary to our executive officers and includes a significant Executive Incentive Plan performance-based bonus component. The Company believes compensation should be structured to ensure that a significant portion of compensation opportunity will be directly related to performance-based cash awards under our Executive Incentive Plan. Accordingly, the Company sets annual Adjusted EBITDA goals designed to directly link each NEO's compensation to the Company's performance and their own relative contribution within the Company. We do not have a formal policy on adjustment or recovery of cash bonus awards in the event our financial results are restated after payment of the cash bonus awards.

    Determination of Compensation Awards

        The Compensation Committee is provided with the primary authority to determine and recommend the compensation awards available to our executive officers.

        In making compensation determinations, the Committee considers each NEO's unique position and responsibility and relies upon the judgment and industry experience of its members, including their knowledge of competitive salaries in the industry. We seek to compensate our NEOs for their performance throughout the year with annual base salaries that are fair and competitive within our marketplace. We believe that executive officer base salaries should be competitive with salaries for executive officers in similar positions and with similar responsibilities in our marketplace and adjusted for financial and operating performance and previous work experience. Our Compensation Committee does not make regular use of benchmarking or of compensation consultants. The amount of total compensation, the amounts allocated to each component and the target amounts payable under our Executive Incentive Plan are set by the Compensation Committee based on the general industry knowledge and experience of the members of our Compensation Committee, in alignment with the foregoing considerations, rather than in accordance with precise formulas or benchmarked levels, to ensure the attraction, development and retention of superior talent.

    Base Salaries

        We provide named executives officers with base salary to compensate them for services rendered during the fiscal year. Base salary also serves as a baseline for recognition and reward in our performance-based Executive Incentive Plan cash awards and in our long-term equity grants. Base salary ranges for named executive officers are determined by the Compensation Committee for each executive based on his position and responsibility by the Committee using its own judgment and

103


Table of Contents

industry experience, including its knowledge of competitive salaries in the industry, in the manner described above.

        During its review of base salaries for executives, the Committee primarily considers:

    Internal review of the executive's level of compensation, both individually and relative to other officers within the Company;

    Knowledge of salaries for comparable executives; and

    Reasonable enhancements from time-to-time to recognize our business success and the executive's taking on increased duties.

        The Compensation Committee's subjective decisions as to the type and amount of compensation in some cases reflect negotiations with the executive, as well as our assessment of how compensation can be structured to encourage both high performance by the executive and long-term service to the Company.

        Base salaries for the NEOs are established on an annual calendar year based on the scope of their responsibilities, individual contribution, prior experience, sustained performance, competitive salary levels and our budgetary constraints. No formulaic base salary increases are provided to any of the NEOs. None of the named executive officers received salary increases effective January 1, 2009 due to our uncertainty related to the Company's achievement of our targeted 2009 Adjusted EBITDA goals as a result of changes in CMS reimbursement rates; potential healthcare reform legislation; and the decline in patient census levels due to the global economic downturn. The Company's NEOs each agreed to a ten percent (10%) reduction in base salary effective March 1, 2009. Each NEO's base salary was restated to the December 31, 2008 level ($508,000 annually in the case of Mr. Chernow; $345,000 annually in the case of Mr. Choate; $285,000 annually in the case of Mr. Phillips; $230,000 annually in the case of Mr. Pegler; and $200,000 annually in the case of Mr. Stork) effective November 1, 2009 based upon our financial operating results through such date.

    Executive Incentive Plan Awards

        Performance-based cash bonus awards under our Executive Incentive Plan consist of annual bonus awards and discretionary cash bonus awards. Each year's annual Executive Incentive Plan gives our executives an incentive to meet specific goals set by the Board of Directors with reference to that year's budget and forecasts approved by the Board. We believe that our annual Executive Incentive Plan encourages long-term growth in stockholder value by providing executives with a series of incentives particular to each year's circumstances. The Compensation Committee based 100% of the NEOs' annual cash bonus potential in 2009 on our achievement of projected Adjusted EBITDA in order to motivate the NEOs to maximize earnings from the Company's operations and to encourage the NEOs to work cooperatively as a team. We believe the annual budgeted amount of Adjusted EBITDA established by the Board is reasonably attainable while requiring substantial effort. The Compensation Committee determines each NEO's Executive Incentive Plan target award as a total percentage of base compensation exclusive of any amounts attributable to car allowances, stock based compensation, vacation time payouts and other similar compensation items. These awards are paid in cash to the NEOs shortly after the annual independent audit of our financial statements is completed if the performance goals have been met, the annual incentive has been earned in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Executive Incentive Plan, and the Compensation Committee determines and declares that the award should be paid. To tie compensation to performance, there is no minimum award of compensation required by the Executive Incentive Plan.

        Our 2009 Executive Incentive Plan established that no bonus would be paid unless we produced a minimum amount of Adjusted EBITDA ($41 million) and that bonuses would be paid at the full target amount only if Adjusted EBITDA equaled at least $43 million. In the event the Company exceeded the

104


Table of Contents


100% payout level of $43 million of Adjusted EBITDA the bonus amount would increase five percent (5%) for each one percent (1%) of Adjusted EBITDA above $43 million to $45 million and ten percent (10%) for each one percent (1%) of Adjusted EBITDA above $45 million. We did not achieve the minimum Adjusted EBITDA amount of $41 million to entitle the NEOs to any cash bonus payments under the 2009 Executive Incentive Plan. For bonuses paid in 2010 related to our 2009 performance, the Committee used it's authority under the Executive Incentive Plan provisions to provide the NEOs with discretionary cash bonuses as follows: $100,000 in the case of Mr. Chernow as part of his negotiated settlement agreement upon departure from our employment; $100,000 in the case of Mr. Choate; $65,000 in the case of Mr. Phillips; $50,000 in the case of Mr. Pegler; and $30,000 in the case of Mr. Stork. These bonuses were paid in recognition of each NEO's extraordinary efforts during the 2009 fiscal year which contained unanticipated challenges outside of the control of the NEOs that required the dedicated focus and time commitments from the NEOs in order for us to achieve our actual 2009 Adjusted EBITDA

    Special Bonus Payments

        For 2009, we paid our NEOs special, one-time discretionary bonus payments, in addition to the Executive Incentive Plan awards described above, in amounts equal to the amounts that were foregone from their respective paychecks as a result of the temporary 10% decrease to their base salaries during fiscal year 2009. These bonuses were paid because our preliminary 2009 financial results indicated an improvement over our prior projections and compliance with our bank covenants for the year ending December 31, 2009 and the Compensation Committee determined payment of these amounts was fair and appropriate in light of our NEOs' agreements to the temporary decreases in salary described above.

    Equity-Based Awards

        We believe that positive long-term performance is achieved in part by providing our NEOs with incentives that align their financial interests with the interests of our stockholders. The Compensation Committee believes that the use of stock option awards best accomplishes such alignment.

        Our Compensation Committee is authorized under our Equity Incentive Plan to grant incentive stock options and/or nonqualified stock options to purchase shares of our common stock to our employees and nonqualified stock options to purchase shares of common stock to our directors, independent contractors and consultants. We generally make initial stock option grants at the commencement of an executive's employment and additional subsequent grants following a significant change in job responsibilities or to meet other special retention or performance objectives. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves incentive stock option awards to all employees, including NEOs based upon its assessment of individual expected performance, past precedence based on internal job classifications, a review of each executive's existing long-term incentives and retention considerations.

        We did not grant any stock options or other equity-based awards to our NEOs in 2009 because none of our NEOs commenced employment or experienced a significant change in job responsibilities during 2009 that warranted such an award.

    Employment and Severance Arrangements

        Our board of directors and our Compensation Committee consider the maintenance of a sound management team to be essential to protecting and enhancing our best interests. To that end, we recognize that the uncertainty that may exist among management with respect to their "at-will" employment may result in the departure or distraction of management personnel to our detriment. Accordingly, we have entered into employment agreements with each of our named executive officers

105


Table of Contents

that provide for certain severance payments and other post-employment benefits which we believe are appropriate to encourage the continued dedication and attention of these executives. The employment agreements with our named executive officers are described more fully below under '—Potential Payment Upon Termination or Change in Control.

    Perquisites and Other Benefits

        Although perquisites are not a significant factor in our compensation programs, we provide certain limited perquisite and personal benefits to our named executive officers. We provide these benefits to assist our NEOs in performing their services for us and to attract and retain talented executives.

        The Company, at its sole cost, provides health and welfare benefits to each NEO, the NEO's spouse and eligible dependents such as the Company may from time to time make available to its other executives of the same level of employment. We also maintain a 401(k) retirement plan that is available to all eligible employees. We have the discretion to make annually matching contributions to the plan on behalf of our participating employees. Historically, we matched $0.50 for each $1.00 contributed up to 6% of each participant's annual compensation with a maximum of $2,500 per participant. The last discretionary match we made was in February 2009 for the 401(k) plan year ending December 31, 2008. Life, accidental death and dismemberment coverage is also offered to all eligible employees and premiums are paid in full by the Company. We also make available to our NEOs a long-term disability plan maintained at our expense. Other voluntary benefits, such as supplemental life and specific coverage insurance supplements are also made available and paid for by our NEOs and other employees. The above benefits are generally available to the NEOs on the same basis as all other eligible employees, subject to relevant regulatory requirements. The Company provides each NEO with an after tax automobile and life insurance allowance in accordance with the terms and conditions of each NEO's employment agreement or applicable Company policy.

    Accounting and Tax Considerations

        Our annual tax aggregate deductions for each NEO's compensation are potentially limited by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code to the extent the aggregate amount paid to an executive officer exceeds $1.0 million per year, unless it is paid under a predetermined objective performance plan meeting certain requirements, or satisfies one of various other exceptions provided under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. At our current NEO compensation levels, we anticipate that Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code would be applicable only with respect to our Chief Executive Officer, and we considered its impact in determining compensation levels for our NEOs in 2009, while also considering the fact that the provisions under Section 162(m) would only be applicable if the Company were to become a public entity.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Agreements with Mr. Chernow and Mr. Choate

        We entered into employment agreements with the gentlemen that served as our CEO and CFO during 2009 in connection with their initial employment by the Company. Each employment agreement

109


Table of Contents


established a base salary, an annual target bonus (100% of base salary in the case of Mr. Chernow, our former CEO and 65% of base salary in the case of Mr. Choate, our then CFO) based on our achievement of certain financial performance targets as well as the provision of certain other typical benefits (e.g., vacation time, health benefits, etc.) and, in the case of Mr. Choate, a living accommodation and relocation allowance not to exceed $65,000 to initially commute to Orange County, California and ultimately relocate his residence to the Denver, Colorado area from Houston, Texas. Under each agreement, the executive's employment with us is "at-will." However, in the event of a termination "without cause" or a resignation due to "constructive termination" which the executive could deem to be a termination without cause, the executive is entitled to severance payments from us, consisting of bi-weekly payments of base salary in effect at the time of termination for a defined "Salary Continuation Period", provided the executive complies during such period with the non-compete and non-solicitation provisions of the agreement and executes a general release of all claims against us. In the case of a termination in connection with or within nine months following a "change of control" such Severance Payments would be made in a lump sum amount to each executive.

        Mr. Chernow, our former President and Chief Executive Officer, had a Salary Continuation Period of one year and Mr. Choate, our CFO, had a Salary Continuation Period of six months. Mr. Choate's employment agreement was amended in January 2009 to include payment to Mr. Choate during the Salary Continuation Period of his targeted bonus for the year in which the termination occurs. Under each employment agreement, in the event the executive is terminated by us or in the event of death or disability, he or his legal representative will also be entitled to receive "Ancillary Severance Benefits" from us. Ancillary Severance Benefits consist of compensation for all accrued unpaid vacation pay, back wages accrued and accrued sick pay, and except in the case of a termination for "cause," reimbursement of COBRA expenses for the continuation of health benefits for himself and his eligible dependents for an 18-month period or such time the executive becomes eligible for another employer's health insurance, whichever occurs first. In addition, Ancillary Severance Benefits include outplacement services for each executive in an amount not to exceed $15,000.

        The employment agreements provide that in the event the amounts payable to the executive and described above would constitute "excess parachute payments" within Section 280G of the Code, then the amounts payable shall be reduced to the extent necessary to avoid such amounts constituting an excess parachute payment. Each employment agreement was amended in December 2008 in order to ensure compliance with, or an exemption from, Section 409A of the Code.

        The employment agreements also provide that in the event of death or disability, the Company would pay to the executive or his legal representative a lump sum amount equal to half of his then current annual base salary in effect immediately prior to his death or disability. Under the employment agreements, "disability" means that for a period of six (6) months in any twelve (12) month period, the executive is incapable of substantially fulfilling his employment responsibilities and duties because of physical, mental or psychological incapacity resulting from injury, sickness or disease. "Cause," as defined under the terms of the respective employment agreements, means any of the following: (a) the executive enters a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, or is convicted of, a felony or any other criminal act involving moral turpitude, dishonesty, or theft; (b) the executive has committed gross negligence, willful misconduct or a breach of his fiduciary duties in carrying out his duties; (c) the executive materially breaches the employment agreement and fails to cure such breach (in the event that such breach is capable of being cured) within 30 days following receipt of notice from us setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of such breach; (d) the executive habitually uses drugs or alcohol and such use constitutes an abuse thereof; (e) the executive engages in willful misconduct in the performance of his duties that (i) has a material adverse effect on the Company or (ii) constitutes a material violation of a policy adopted by the Board; or (f) the executive engages in material dishonesty or fraud in the performance of his duties.

        "Constructive termination" means, subject to certain notice and cure periods, (a) with or without a change in his title or formal corporate action, there shall be a material diminution in the nature or scope of the authorities, powers, functions, duties or responsibilities of the executive as set forth in the employment agreement; (b) the executive is not appointed to, or is removed from, the offices or positions provided for in the employment agreement; (c) the executives annual base salary is decreased by the Company; (d) at any time following the executive's initial permanent relocation at the request of the Company, we change our headquarters greater than 30 miles from its then existing location without the executive's consent; (e) we fail to pay the executive's compensation or provide the employee benefits when due; or (f) we materially breach the employment agreement or the performance of our duties and obligations thereunder (including any failure to adopt an annual bonus plan in accordance with the employment agreements).

        In February 2010, in connection with Mr. Choate's promotion to Chief Executive Officer, we entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Choate. Mr. Choate's new employment agreement contains substantially similar terms, conditions and definitions as described above. The new employment agreement sets Mr. Choate's target bonus at 100% of his current base salary and provides for a Salary Continuation Period of one year and the payment of one-half of Mr. Choate's targeted bonus for the year in which the termination occurs. A lump sum payment is also provided for in the new employment agreement in the event of a termination in connection with or within nine months after a change in control. The new agreement provides in the event of death or disability, the Company would pay to Mr. Choate or his legal representative a lump sum amount equal to half of his then current annual base salary and half of his current target bonus in effect immediately prior to his death or disability. Similar Ancillary Severance Benefits are payable under Mr. Choate's new employment agreement. Mr. Choate's new employment agreement, which is intended to comply with, or qualify for an exemption from, Section 409A of the Code, does not provide amounts payable thereunder will be reduced if such payments would constitute an excess parachute payment under Section 280G of the Code.

        Each of our other NEOs (not including Messrs. Chernow and Choate) is party to an employment agreement with the Company. Under each agreement, the executive officer is entitled to receive a base salary and a target bonus (60% of base salary in the case of Mr. Phillips and 50% of base salary in the case of Messrs. Pegler and Stork). The terms, conditions and definitions in the employment agreements are substantially similar to those outlined above for Messrs. Chernow and Choate. Mr. Phillips has a Salary Continuation Period of one year; Messrs. Pegler and Stork have a Salary Continuation Period of six months. The employment agreements for Messrs. Phillips and Pegler provide for the payment of their respective then current target bonus for the year in which the termination occurs during the Salary Continuation Period. Ancillary Severance Benefits are payable to Mr. Phillips for a twelve month period and Ancillary Severance Benefits are payable to Messrs. Pegler and Stork for a six month period. Mr. Pegler was provided with a living assistance and relocation allowance of $108,730 in connection with the relocation of his residence from San Diego, California to the Denver, Colorado area, and Mr. Stork was provided with a living assistance and relocation allowance of $29,340 in connection with the relocation of his residence from Houston, Texas to the Denver, Colorado area. Mr. Phillips' primary office location remains in Orange County, California.

        The following table shows the value of severance benefits and other benefits for our 2009 named executive officers, excluding Mr. Chernow, under their current employment agreements, assuming each

        In connection with Mr. Chernow's termination of employment with us in February 2010, we entered into a separation agreement with Mr. Chernow under which he received payments of one year of his then-current base salary ($508,000), payable per our normal payroll cycle for a twelve month period, $100,000 in lieu of any amounts earned under our 2009 Executive Incentive Plan, payable in a lump sum at the same time bonus payments were made to our other executives for 2009, and, at our expense, health insurance continuation coverage for 18 months or, if earlier, until he becomes eligible for comparable health insurance coverage from another employer (approximately $38,000). In exchange for these payments, Mr. Chernow executed a general release of claims in our favor and agreed to the immediate termination of all unexercised vested stock options related to our common stock.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

        As of September 30, 2010, we had 26,317,675 shares of common stock outstanding.

        The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of September 30, 2010 by:

    each person known to own beneficially more than 5% of the capital stock;

    each of our directors;

    each of the executive officers named in the summary compensation table; and

    all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

        The amounts and percentages of shares beneficially owned are reported on the basis of SEC regulations governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under SEC rules, a person is deemed to be a "beneficial" owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Securities that can be so acquired are deemed to be outstanding for purposes of computing any other person's percentage. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which such person has no economic interest.

        Except as otherwise indicated in these footnotes, each of the beneficial owners listed has, to our knowledge, sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of capital stock.

Additionally, each of the Genstar Parties, ARES, CDPQ Quebec and any stockholder that holds 10% of the capital stock of the Company shall have reasonable access to its officers, employees, auditors, legal counsel, facilities and books and records.

DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS

Revolving Credit Facility

General

        On May 13, 2010, concurrently with the closing of the offering of the private notes, our direct wholly-owned subsidiary, Oncure Medical, entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility, or the revolving credit facility, with GE Capital Markets, Inc., as sole lead arranger and book manager, General Electric Capital Corporation, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto, or the Credit Agreement. Oncure Medical and all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries are co-borrowers thereunder, or collectively, the Revolving Borrowers.

        The revolving credit facility provides for aggregate commitments of up to $40.0 million, including a letter of credit sub-facility of $2.0 million and a swing line sub-facility of $2.0 million, and provides for the increase, at the Revolving Borrowers' option, of aggregate commitments by $10.0 million, subject to certain conditions. As of the date of this filing, the revolving credit facility was undrawn. The revolving credit facility is used by the Revolving Borrowers for working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes (including permitted acquisitions and other investments), subject to certain conditions of the Credit Agreement.

        The ability of the Revolving Borrowers to draw under the revolving credit facility or request the issuance of letters of credit thereunder is conditioned upon, among other things, pro forma compliance with certain financial covenants, delivery of prior written notice of borrowing or issuance, as applicable, the Revolving Borrowers' ability to reaffirm the representations and warranties contained in the documentation evidencing the revolving credit facility and the absence of any default or event of default under the revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility has a maturity date of May 13, 2015.

        The obligations of the Revolving Borrowers under the revolving credit facility is secured and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by us and each of our U.S. subsidiaries that we may create or acquire, to the extent any such future U.S. subsidiary is not required to be a co-borrower under the revolving credit facility, with certain exceptions as set forth in the Credit Agreement, pursuant to the terms of a separate security agreement and guaranties.

Security interests

        All borrowings, guarantees and other obligations related to or arising under the revolving credit facility are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in substantially all tangible and intangible assets of each of us, the Revolving Borrowers and our future subsidiaries (subject to certain limitations for equity interests of foreign subsidiaries and other exceptions as set forth in the Credit Agreement).

Interest rates and fees

        Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to the applicable margin set forth below, plus, at the option of the Revolving Borrowers, either (a) the base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the prime rate that The Wall Street Journal announces from time to time, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 1.50% and (iii) the three-month Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%, payable quarterly in arrears or (b) so long as no event of default then exists, the Eurodollar rate, payable at the end of the relevant interest period, but in any event, at least quarterly. The applicable margin on loans

118


Table of Contents


under the revolving credit facility is 3.50% for Base Rate loans and 4.50% for Eurodollar Rate Loans. "Eurodollar Rate" is defined as the greater of (a) Eurodollar rate published by the British Bankers' Association for the selected interest period, (b) the three month Eurodollar rate on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page, and (c) 1.50% per annum.

        The Revolving Borrowers also pays the lenders an unused commitment fee of 0.75% per annum (if average daily balance of "Revolving Credit Outstandings" (defined as (a) the aggregate principal amount of the revolving loans and swing line loans and (b) the letter of credit obligations for all letters of credit) during the quarter for which the unused commitment fee is calculated is less than 50% of the revolving credit facility) or 0.50% per annum (if average daily balance of Revolving Credit Outstandings during the quarter for which the unused commitment fee is calculated is equal to or greater than 50% of the revolving credit facility), in each case on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. The commitment fee is payable quarterly in arrears. The Revolving Borrowers also pay the issuer of each letter of credit a letter of credit fronting fee of 0.25% per annum plus all other fees, documentary and processing charges as separately agreed between the Revolving Borrowers and such issuer. The Revolving Borrowers further pay to all lenders, with respect to all outstanding letters of credit, a fee accruing at a rate per annum equal to the applicable margin for Eurodollar Rate Loans on the maximum undrawn face amount of such letters of credit. Such letter of credit fees are payable in arrears (a) on the last day of each calendar quarter, ending after the issuance of each such letter of credit and (b) on the date on which the revolving credit facility terminates.

Optional and mandatory prepayment and commitment reductions

        The Revolving Borrowers have the ability to voluntarily prepay loans or reduce commitments under the revolving credit facility, in whole or in part, subject to minimum amounts, but without premium or penalty. If the Revolving Borrowers prepay Eurodollar Rate Loans other than at the end of an applicable interest period, they will be required to reimburse lenders for their losses or expenses sustained as a result of such prepayment. The Revolving Borrowers have no obligations under the revolving credit facility to make mandatory prepayments thereof except for customary prepayment provisions applicable to revolving credit facilities (including, without limitation, upon termination and in the event the outstanding revolving loans exceed availability) and in the event of an asset sale or equity sale, if the proceeds of such sale are not used by the Revolving Borrowers for working capital needs, to make permitted acquisitions, or for other purposes described in the Credit Agreement within 365 days thereafter.

Covenants

        The revolving credit facility contains a number of customary negative and affirmative covenants affecting us and our existing and future subsidiaries.

        The revolving credit facility contains the following negative covenants and restrictions, among others: limitations on indebtedness (including guaranties and speculative hedging transactions), liens, investments (including loans), asset dispositions, restricted payments (including dividends, distributions or other payments to us (except for expressly specified purposes), redemptions and repurchases of capital stock and cancellation of debt), prepayments of indebtedness (including redemptions and repurchases), fundamental corporate changes (including mergers, consolidations, acquisitions, joint ventures or creation of subsidiaries), changes in the nature of business, transactions with affiliates, third-party restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments or restricted payments, modification of constituent documents and certain other agreements, changes in accounting treatment, reporting practices for fiscal year, restrictions on our activities, compliance with margin regulations and ERISA and environmental laws and maximum capital expenditures.

        In addition, the revolving credit facility contains financial covenants, including a first lien leverage ratio maintenance covenant and a fixed charge coverage ratio incurrence covenant.

Events of default

        The revolving credit facility specifies certain events of default, including, among others: failure to pay principal, interest or any other amount, breach of representations and warranties, noncompliance with covenants, defaults under other indebtedness, bankruptcy or insolvency, judgments in excess of certain amounts, actual or asserted invalidity of loan documents, and change of ownership or control.

Intercreditor Agreement

        The administrative agent under the revolving credit facility, on behalf of itself and the lenders under the revolving credit facility, and the trustee under the indenture governing the notes entered into an intercreditor agreement on May 13, 2010, pursuant to which the trustee agreed, on behalf of the holders of the notes, to subordinate the liens that secure the notes to the liens that secure borrowings and other obligations under the Credit Agreement. See "Description of Exchange Notes—Collateral—Intercreditor Agreement."

DESCRIPTION OF EXCHANGE NOTES

        You can find the definitions of certain terms used in this description under the subheading "Certain Definitions." In this description, the words "Oncure," "we," "us" and "our" refer only to Oncure Holdings, Inc. and not to any of its Subsidiaries.

        We issued the private notes, and will issue the exchange notes, under the indenture, dated May 13, 2010, referred to as the Indenture, among us, the Guarantors and Wilmington Trust FSB, as trustee, referred to as the Trustee. The terms of the exchange notes will include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, referred to as the Trust Indenture Act. The form and terms of the exchange notes will be identical in all material respects to the form and term of the private notes, except that the exchange notes will be registered under the Securities Act and will not be subject to restrictions on transfer under the Securities Act. Unless indicated otherwise, the private notes and the exchange notes are collectively referred to in this description as the notes.

        The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the Indenture and the Collateral Agreements. It does not restate those agreements in their entirety. We urge you to read the Indenture and the Collateral Agreements because they, and not this description, define your rights as holders of the notes. Copies of the Indenture and the Collateral Agreements are available as set forth below under "—Additional Information." Certain defined terms used in this description but not defined below under "—Certain Definitions" have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

        The registered holder of a note will be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. Only registered holders will have rights under the Indenture.

Description of the Notes and the Note Guarantees

The Notes

        The notes will:

    be senior secured obligations of Oncure;

    rank equally in right of payment with all other existing and future senior obligations of Oncure, including debt borrowed under any Credit Facilities, and senior in right of payment of all Indebtedness that by its terms is subordinated to the notes;

    be secured by second priority Liens on substantially all of the assets of Oncure and Oncure's Domestic Subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions and Permitted Liens; and

    be unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis by all of Oncure's existing and future Domestic Subsidiaries (other than Immaterial Subsidiaries) as set forth under "The Note Guarantees" below.

        However, pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the notes will be effectively subordinated to all borrowings under Credit Facilities, including the Revolving Credit Facility, to the extent of the assets securing such Credit Facilities. See "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Notes—The Liens on the collateral securing the exchange notes will be junior and subordinate to the liens on the collateral securing our obligations under our revolving credit facility or any other permitted first lien indebtedness. If there is a default, the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to repay both the lenders under our revolving credit facility and holders of other permitted first lien indebtedness and the holders of the exchange notes." and "—Collateral—Intercreditor Agreement."

121


Table of Contents

The Note Guarantees

        The notes will be guaranteed by all of Oncure's existing and future Domestic Subsidiaries (other than Immaterial Subsidiaries).

        Each Note Guarantee will:

    be a senior secured obligation of such Guarantor;

    rank equally in right of payment with all other existing and future senior obligations of such Guarantor, including debt borrowed under any Credit Facilities, and senior in right of payment to all Indebtedness that by its terms is subordinated to the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor; and

    be secured by second priority Liens on substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor, subject to certain exceptions and Permitted Liens.

        However, pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Note Guarantees are effectively subordinated to the guarantees of borrowings under Credit Facilities, including the Revolving Credit Facility, to the extent of the assets securing such Credit Facilities. See "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Notes—The Liens on the collateral securing the exchange notes will be junior and subordinate to the liens on the collateral securing our obligations under our revolving credit facility or any other permitted first lien indebtedness. If there is a default, the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to repay both the lenders under our revolving credit facility and holders of other permitted first lien indebtedness and the holders of the exchange notes." and "—Collateral—Intercreditor Agreement."

Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries

        As of June 30, 2010, all of our Subsidiaries are "Restricted Subsidiaries." However, under the circumstances described below under the caption "—Certain Covenants—Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries," we will be permitted to designate certain of our Subsidiaries as "Unrestricted Subsidiaries." Our Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to many of the restrictive covenants in the Indenture and will not guarantee the notes.

Principal, Maturity and Interest

        We initially issued $210.0 million in aggregate principal amount of private notes. Oncure may issue additional notes under the Indenture from time to time. Any issuance of additional notes is subject to all of the covenants in the Indenture, including the covenant described below under the caption "—Certain Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock." The notes and any additional notes subsequently issued under the Indenture will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. Oncure will issue notes in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

        The notes will mature on May 15, 2017.

        Interest on the notes will accrue at the rate of 113/4% per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on November 15, 2010. Interest on overdue principal and interest will accrue at a rate that is 2.0% higher than the then applicable interest rate on the notes. Oncure will make each interest payment to the holders of record on the immediately preceding May 1 and November 1.

122


Table of Contents

        Interest on the notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes

        If a holder of notes has given wire transfer instructions to Oncure or the paying agent, the paying agent will deliver payments of all principal of, and interest and premium on, that holder's notes in accordance with those instructions. All other payments on the notes will be made at the office or agency of the paying agent and registrar unless the paying agent elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the holders of notes at their address set forth in the register of holders.

Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes

        The Trustee will initially act as paying agent and registrar. Oncure may change the paying agent or registrar without prior notice to the holders of the notes, and Oncure or any of its Subsidiaries may act as paying agent or registrar.

Transfer and Exchange

        A holder may transfer or exchange notes in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. The registrar and the Trustee may require a holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents in connection with a transfer of notes. Holders will be required to pay all taxes due on transfer. Oncure and the registrar will not be required to transfer or exchange any note selected for redemption. Also, Oncure and the registrar will not be required to transfer or exchange any note for a period of 15 days before a selection of notes to be redeemed.

Note Guarantees

        The notes are guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior secured basis by each of Oncure's current and future Domestic Subsidiaries (other than Immaterial Subsidiaries).

        The Note Guarantees will be effectively subordinated to all current and future obligations of the Guarantors under any Credit Facilities, including any borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such obligations. The obligations of each Guarantor under its Note Guarantee will be limited as necessary to prevent that Note Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. See "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Notes—Under certain circumstances a court could cancel the notes or the related guarantees and the security interests that secure the notes and any guarantees under fraudulent conveyance laws."

        A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than Oncure or another Guarantor, unless:

            (1)   immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

            (2)   either:

              (a)   the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under the Indenture and its Note Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the Trustee; or

              (b)   the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture or as otherwise required by the Intercreditor Agreement.

123


Table of Contents

        The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released:

            (1)   in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) Oncure or a Restricted Subsidiary of Oncure, if the sale or other disposition does not violate the "Asset Sale" provisions of the Indenture;

            (2)   in connection with any sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) Oncure or a Restricted Subsidiary of Oncure, if the sale or other disposition does not violate the "Asset Sale" provisions of the Indenture;

            (3)   if Oncure designates that Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture;

            (4)   upon legal defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture as provided below under the captions "—Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance" and "—Satisfaction and Discharge;" and

            (5)   as provided by the Intercreditor Agreement, as described below under the caption "—Collateral—Intercreditor Agreement."

Collateral

        The notes and the Note Guarantees are secured by second priority liens on substantially all of the assets owned by Oncure and the Guarantors, except as described below.

        The Collateral will not include the following:

            (1)   the Voting Stock of any Foreign Subsidiary in excess of 66% of the outstanding Voting Stock of such Foreign Subsidiary;

            (2)   any permit or license or any contractual obligation entered into by Oncure or any Guarantor (a) that prohibits or requires the consent of any Person other than Oncure or any of its Affiliates as a condition to the creation by Oncure or such Guarantor of a Lien on any right, title or interest in such permit, license or contractual agreement or any Capital Stock or equivalent related thereto or (b) to the extent that any requirement of law applicable thereto prohibits the creation of a Lien thereon, but only with respect to the prohibition in (a) and (b) to the extent, and for as long as, such prohibition is not terminated or rendered unenforceable or otherwise deemed ineffective by the Uniform Commercial Code or any other requirement of law;

            (3)   fixed or capital assets owned by Oncure or any Guarantor that is subject to a purchase money Lien or a capital lease if the contractual obligation pursuant to which such Lien is granted (or in the document providing for such capital lease) prohibits or requires the consent of any Person other than Oncure or any of its Affiliates as a condition to the creation of any other Lien on such equipment;

            (4)   any "intent to use" trademark applications for which a statement of use has not been filed (but only until such statement is filed); and

            (5)   any leasehold interests of Oncure or any Guarantor in real estate.

(such excluded assets collectively referred in the offering circular as the "Excluded Collateral"); provided, however, "Excluded Collateral" shall not include any proceeds, products, substitutions or replacements of Excluded Collateral (unless such proceeds, products, substitutions or replacements would otherwise constitute Excluded Collateral).

Intercreditor Agreement

        The Trustee, the First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the First Lien Secured Parties (including the lenders under our Credit Agreement), and the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Second Lien Secured Parties (including the holders of the notes), entered into an intercreditor agreement on May 13, 2010, which was acknowledged and agreed to by Oncure and the Guarantors, referred to as the Intercreditor Agreement, and which defines the rights of such parties with respect to the Collateral.

        First Lien Obligations; Notes Effectively Subordinated to First Lien Obligations.    The Intercreditor Agreement provides that all Indebtedness under Credit Facilities permitted pursuant to the definition of Permitted Debt under the second paragraph of the covenant described under the caption "Certain Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock," including all borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and all other Obligations related to and owing under the documents relating to such Indebtedness (collectively, "First Lien Obligations") are secured by First Priority Liens (as defined below) on the Collateral, which Liens are contractually senior to the Liens thereon that secure the notes and the Note Guarantees. Pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, the maximum aggregate principal amount of First Lien Obligations shall not exceed, as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the amount of Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to clause (1) of the definition of "Permitted Debt," plus (b) $5.0 million, plus (c) solely as a component of a DIP Financing, $10.0 million, plus (d) interest, fees, costs, expenses, indemnities and other amounts payable pursuant to the terms of the documents evidencing the Credit Facilities, whether or not the same are added to the principal amount of the First Lien Obligations and including the same as would accrue and become due but for the commencement of an insolvency or liquidation proceeding, whether or not such amounts are allowed or allowable in whole or in part in any such insolvency or liquidation proceeding (the sum of (a) through (d), the "Maximum First Lien Amount"). The Intercreditor Agreement requires the consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent in order for the maximum aggregate principal amount of the notes and the Note Guarantees (collectively, the "Second Lien Obligations") to exceed, as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) $210.0 million minus (b) the sum of all principal payments on the notes constituting Second Lien Obligations (including voluntary and mandatory prepayments) after the date of the Intercreditor Agreement, plus (c) interest, fees, costs, expenses, indemnities and other amounts payable pursuant to the terms of the notes and Note Guarantees, whether or not the same are added to the principal amount of the Second Lien Obligations and including the same as would accrue and become due but for the commencement of an insolvency or liquidation proceeding, whether or not such amounts are allowed or allowable in whole or in part in any such insolvency or liquidation proceeding (the sum of (a) through (c), the "Maximum Second Lien Amount"). As a result, the Second Lien Obligations are effectively subordinated to the First Lien Obligations to the extent of the value of the Collateral.

        Relative Priorities.    The Intercreditor Agreement provides that, notwithstanding the date, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Lien securing the notes or the Note Guarantees (a "Second Priority Lien") or any Lien or Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations (a "First Priority Lien"), and notwithstanding any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction or any other applicable law or the provisions of any Debt Document or any other circumstance whatsoever, each Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Secured Parties on whose behalf it acts in such capacity therefore, agrees that, so long as the First Lien Obligations have not been discharged as set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement (such discharge, the "Discharge of First Lien Obligations"), (a) any First Priority Liens then or thereafter held by or for the benefit of any First Lien Secured Party will be senior in right, priority, operation, effect and all other respects to any and all Second Priority Liens and (b) any Second Priority Liens then or thereafter held by or for the benefit of any Second Lien Secured Party will be junior and subordinate in right, priority, perfection, operation, effect and all other respects to any and all First Priority Liens, and the First Priority Liens will be and

125


Table of Contents


remain senior in right, priority, perfection, operation, effect and all other respects to any Second Priority Liens for all purposes.

        Prohibition on Contesting Liens; Additional Collateral.    The Intercreditor Agreement provides that (a) each Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Secured Parties on whose behalf it acts in such capacity therefore, agrees that it will not contest, and will waive any right to contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any insolvency or liquidation proceeding), the priority, validity or enforceability of any Second Priority Lien or any First Priority Lien, as the case may be; provided that nothing in the Intercreditor Agreement will be construed to prevent or impair the rights of either Agent or any other Secured Party to enforce the Intercreditor Agreement to the extent provided thereby and (b) if Oncure or a Guarantor creates any additional Liens upon any assets to secure (i) any First Lien Obligations, it must substantially concurrently grant a subordinate Lien upon such assets as security for the notes or the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor, as the case may be, and (ii) the notes or any Note Guarantee, it must substantially concurrently grant a senior Lien upon such assets as security for the First Lien Obligations.

        Exercise of Rights and Remedies; Standstill.    The Intercreditor Agreement provides that the First Lien Collateral Agent and the other holders of First Lien Obligations, at all times prior to the payment in full in cash of the First Lien Obligations, have the exclusive right to enforce rights and exercise remedies (including any right of setoff) with respect to the Collateral (including making determinations regarding the release, disposition or restrictions with respect to the Collateral), or to commence or seek to commence any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any foreclosure action or proceeding or any insolvency or liquidation proceeding), in each case, without any consultation with or the consent of the Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Secured Party, and no Second Lien Secured Party has any such right; provided, however, that (i) the Second Lien Secured Parties are entitled to take certain actions to preserve and protect their claims and interests with respect to the notes and to create, prove, preserve and protect the validity, enforceability, perfection and priority of the Collateral, and to take actions that unsecured creditors are entitled to take (which in any event cannot be in contravention to the limitations imposed on the Second Lien Secured Parties in any such Intercreditor Agreement), in each case, to the extent set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) after a period of 135 days has elapsed since the date on which the Collateral Agent has delivered to the First Lien Collateral Agent written notice of the acceleration by the Second Lien Secured Parties of the maturity of the notes, referred to as the Standstill Period, the Second Lien Secured Parties may upon five business days notice to First Lien Collateral Agent (which notice may be given during the Standstill Period) enforce or exercise any rights or remedies permitted by the Intercreditor Agreement with respect to any Collateral; provided, further, however, that notwithstanding the expiration of the Standstill Period or anything in any such Intercreditor Agreement to the contrary, in no event may the Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Secured Party enforce or exercise or continue to enforce or exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral or take any other enforcement action if the Trustee has actual knowledge the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party has commenced, and is or is stayed from pursuing, the enforcement or exercise of, or actions to facilitate the enforcement or exercise of, any rights or remedies with respect to all or a material portion of the Collateral.

        Automatic Release of Second Priority Liens.    The Intercreditor Agreement provides that if, in connection with (i) any disposition of any Collateral permitted under the terms of the First Lien Debt Documents, or (ii) the enforcement or exercise of, or actions to facilitate the enforcement or exercise of, any rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral, including any disposition of Collateral, or (iii) during an insolvency proceeding, in connection with the entry of an order by the bankruptcy court authorizing such disposition, the First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other First Lien Secured Parties, (x) releases any of the First Priority Liens, or (y) releases any Guarantor from its obligations under its guarantee of the First Lien Obligations (in each case, a "Release"), other than any

126


Table of Contents


such Release granted following the Discharge of First Lien Obligations and termination of commitments under the First Lien Debt Documents, then the Second Priority Liens on such Collateral, and the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee, will be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released, and the Collateral Agent will, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Lien Secured Parties, promptly execute and deliver to the First Lien Collateral Agent, Oncure or such Guarantor, as the case may be, such termination statements, releases and other documents as the First Lien Collateral Agent, Oncure or such Guarantor, as the case may be, may reasonably request to effectively confirm such Release and as may be otherwise reasonably required to consummate such Release and any related transactions.

        Waterfall.    The Intercreditor Agreement provides that any Collateral or proceeds thereof received by any Secured Party in connection with any disposition of, or collection on, such Collateral upon the enforcement or exercise of any right or remedy (including any right of setoff) will be applied as follows:

    first, to the payment in full in cash of the First Lien Obligations up to the Maximum First Lien Amount;

    second, after the Discharge of the First Lien Obligations has occurred (or, if the First Lien Obligations exceeded the Maximum First Lien Amount, after payment in full in cash of the First Lien Obligations up to the Maximum First Lien Amount), to the payment in full of the Second Lien Obligations up to the Maximum Second Lien Amount;

    third, after the payment in full in cash of the Second Lien Obligations up to the Maximum Second Lien Amount, to the payment in full in cash of any other outstanding First Lien Obligations;

    fourth, after the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, to the payment in full in cash of any other outstanding Second Lien Obligations; and

    fifth, after the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred and the notes and Note Guarantees have been paid in full in cash, any surplus Collateral or proceeds then remaining will be returned to Oncure, the applicable Guarantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

        Payment Over.    The Intercreditor Agreement provides that so long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, any Collateral or any proceeds thereof received by the Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Secured Party in connection with any disposition of, or collection on, such Collateral upon the enforcement or the exercise of any right or remedy (including any right of setoff) with respect to the Collateral by the Collateral Agent, or in connection with any insurance policy claim or any condemnation award (or deed in lieu of condemnation) with respect to the Collateral, or otherwise, will be segregated and held in trust and forthwith transferred or paid over to the First Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Secured Parties in the same form as received, together with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

        Insolvency and Liquidation Proceedings.    The Intercreditor Agreement provides that:

            (a)   until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Lien Secured Parties, agrees that, in the event of any insolvency or liquidation proceeding, the Second Lien Secured Parties:

                (i)  will not oppose or object to the use of any Collateral constituting cash collateral under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of any other bankruptcy law, unless the First Lien Secured Parties, or a representative authorized by the First Lien Secured Parties, shall oppose or object to such use of cash collateral;

127


Table of Contents

               (ii)  will not oppose or object to (or join with any third party in opposing or objecting to) any post-petition financing provided to Oncure or any Guarantors, whether provided by the First Lien Secured Parties or any other Person, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other bankruptcy law (a "DIP Financing"), or the Liens securing any DIP Financing ("DIP Financing Liens"), unless (a) the First Lien Secured Parties, or a representative authorized by the First Lien Secured Parties (including, without limitation, the First Lien Collateral Agent), shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens, or (b) such DIP Financing Liens are not senior to, or do not rank pari passu with, the First Priority Liens and, to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to, or rank pari passu with, the First Priority Liens, the Collateral Agent will, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Lien Secured Parties, subordinate the Second Priority Liens to the First Priority Liens and the DIP Financing Liens on substantially similar terms as are set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement;

              (iii)  except to the extent permitted by paragraph (b) or (d) below, in connection with the use of cash collateral as described in clause (i) above or a DIP Financing or otherwise, will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection with such use of cash collateral, DIP Financing or DIP Financing Liens; and

              (iv)  will not oppose or object to any disposition of any Collateral free and clear of the Second Priority Liens or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of any other bankruptcy law, if the First Priority Secured Parties, or a representative authorized by the First Lien Secured Parties, shall consent to or otherwise approve such disposition;

            (b)   The Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Lien Secured Parties, agrees that no Second Lien Secured Party may contest, or support any other Person in contesting, (i) any request by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party for adequate protection in respect of any First Lien Obligations or (ii) any objection, based on a claim of a lack of adequate protection in respect of any First Lien Obligation, by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if, in connection with any insolvency or liquidation proceeding, (A) any First Lien Secured Party seeks or requests adequate protection in the form of a Lien or Liens on additional collateral, the Collateral Agent may, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Lien Secured Parties, seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien or Liens on such additional collateral, which Lien or Liens will be subordinated to the First Priority Liens and DIP Financing Liens on the same basis as the other Second Priority Liens are subordinated to the First Priority Liens under any such Intercreditor Agreement or (B) any Second Lien Secured Party is granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien or Liens on additional collateral, the First Lien Collateral Agent will, for itself and on behalf of the other First Lien Secured Parties, be granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien or Liens on such additional collateral that is senior to such Second Priority Liens as security for the First Lien Obligations.

            (c)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any DIP Financing provided by the First Lien Secured Parties, together with the aggregate amount of the pre-petition First Lien Obligations, shall not exceed the Maximum First Lien Amount, and (ii) the Second Lien Secured Parties may object to a DIP Financing provided by any person other than a First Lien Secured Party to the extent that the amount of such DIP Financing, together with the aggregate amount of the pre-petition First Lien Obligations, exceeds the Maximum First Lien Amount.

            (d)   The First Lien Secured Parties will not raise any objection to (i) a request by the Second Lien Secured Parties for adequate protection payments in the form of the Second Lien Secured

    Parties retaining a Lien or Liens on the Collateral (including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding) with the same priority in relation to the First Lien Secured Parties as existed prior to the commencement of the insolvency or liquidation proceedings as contemplated by clause (b) above, (ii) the Second Lien Secured Parties' receiving a replacement Lien or Liens on post-petition assets with the same priority relative to the First Priority Liens as existed immediately prior to the commencement of the insolvency or liquidation proceeding, and (iii) a superpriority claim junior in all respects to the superpriority claims granted to the First Lien Secured Parties; provided that, (A) all such Liens, if granted, will be subordinate to all Liens securing the First Lien Obligations (including, without limitation, the First Lien adequate protection liens and any "carve-out" agreed to by the First Lien Collateral Agent) and any Liens securing DIP Financing) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are so subordinated under the Intercreditor Agreement and (B) all such superpriority claims, if granted, are junior in all respects to the superpriority claims granted to the First Lien Secured Parties on account of any of the First Lien Obligations or granted with respect to the DIP Financing or use of cash collateral and the Second Lien Secured Parties shall have irrevocably agreed that any such junior superpriority claims may be paid under any plan of reorganization in any combination of cash, debt, equity or other property having a value on the effective date of such plan equal to the allowed amount of such junior superpriority claims. The Collateral Agent and any other Second Lien Secured Party will agree in the Intercreditor Agreement to limit their rights to seek any allowance payment in any insolvency or liquidation proceeding of Second Lien Obligations consisting of adequate protection payments and, in any event, to turn over to the holders of the First Lien Obligations any post-petition interest or other payments that the holders of the notes receive if the First Lien Obligations are not fully paid at the conclusion of the bankruptcy.

        Relief from the Automatic Stay.    Prior to the expiration of the Standstill Period, the Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Lien Secured Parties, agrees that, so long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, no Second Lien Secured Party may, without the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, seek or request relief from or modification of the automatic stay or any other stay in any insolvency or liquidation proceeding in respect of any part of the Collateral, any proceeds thereof or any Second Priority Lien.

        Post-Petition Interest.    Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Second Lien Secured Party may oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party for allowance or payment in any insolvency or liquidation proceeding of First Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest (including interest at the default rate), fees or expenses. The Collateral Agent and any other Second Lien Secured Party agree in the Intercreditor Agreement to limit their rights to seek any allowance or payment in any insolvency or liquidation proceeding of Second Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest (including interest at the default rate), fees, expenses or other payment and, in any event, to turn over to the holders of the First Lien Obligations any post-petition interest or other payments that the holders of the notes receive if the First Lien Obligations are not fully paid at the conclusion of the bankruptcy.

        Certain Waivers by the Second Lien Secured Parties.    The Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Lien Secured Parties, waives any claim any Second Lien Secured Party may have against any First Lien Secured Party arising out of the election by any First Lien Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other bankruptcy law.

        Certain Voting Matters.    Each of the First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the First Lien Secured Parties, and the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Second Lien Secured Parties, agrees that, without the written consent of the other, it will not seek to vote with the other as a single class in

129


Table of Contents


connection with any plan of reorganization in any insolvency or liquidation proceeding. The Second Lien Secured Parties may vote on any plan of reorganization (including, without limitation, the right to vote to accept or reject any plan of partial or complete liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, composition or extension) to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

        Postponement of Subrogation.    The Intercreditor Agreement provides that the Collateral Agent agrees that no payment or distribution to any First Lien Secured Party pursuant to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement will entitle any Second Lien Secured Party to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof until the Discharge of the First Lien Obligations shall have occurred.

        Purchase Option.    The Intercreditor Agreement provides that, following the occurrence of a Purchase Option Event, the Second Lien Secured Parties shall have the option to require the First Lien Secured Parties to transfer and assign the First Lien Obligations to the Second Lien Secured Parties at par, subject to adjustments and arrangements in respect of letters of credit and hedging and similar agreements and for checks or other payments provisionally credited to the First Lien Obligations.

Collateral Documents

        Oncure, the Guarantors and the Collateral Agent have entered into collateral agreements and other documents granting, in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the holders of the notes, Second Priority Liens on the Collateral securing the notes and Note Guarantees, subject to certain exceptions and subject to Permitted Liens. Oncure and the Guarantors are entitled to releases of assets included in the Collateral from the Liens securing the notes and the Note Guarantees under the following circumstances:

            (1)   if any Subsidiary that is a Guarantor is released from its Note Guarantee pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, that Subsidiary's assets will also be released from the Liens securing the notes;

            (2)   as described under "—Amendment, Supplement or Waiver" below;

            (3)   if required in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, as described under "—Intercreditor Agreement" above;

            (4)   if Oncure exercises its legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option as described below under "—Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance;" and

            (5)   upon satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture or payment in full of the principal of, and premium and accrued and unpaid interest on, the notes and all other Obligations that are then due and payable as provided below under the caption "—Satisfaction and Discharge."

Certain Bankruptcy and Other Limitations

        The ability of the Collateral Agent and the holders to realize upon the Collateral may be subject to certain bankruptcy law limitations in the event of a bankruptcy. See "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Notes—Rights of holders of the notes in the collateral may be adversely affected by bankruptcy proceedings." The ability of the Collateral Agent and the holders to foreclose on the Collateral may be subject to lack of perfection, the consent of third parties, prior Liens and practical problems associated with the realization of the Collateral Agent's Lien on the Collateral.

        Additionally, the Collateral Agent may need to evaluate the impact of the potential liabilities before determining to foreclose on Collateral consisting of real property (if any) because a secured creditor that holds a Lien on real property may be held liable under environmental laws for the costs of remediating or preventing release or threatened releases of hazardous substances at such real property. Consequently, the Collateral Agent may decline to foreclose on such Collateral or exercise remedies available if it does not receive indemnification to its satisfaction from the holders.

130


Table of Contents

        Oncure is permitted to form new Restricted Subsidiaries and to transfer all or a portion of the Collateral to one or more of their Restricted Subsidiaries that are Domestic Subsidiaries; provided that each such new Domestic Subsidiary will be required to execute a Note Guarantee in respect of Oncure's obligations under the notes and the Indenture and a supplement to the applicable Collateral Agreement granting to the Collateral Agent a Lien on the assets of such Domestic Subsidiary on the same basis and subject to the same limitations as described in this section.

        So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and subject to certain terms and conditions in the Indenture and the Collateral Agreements (including, without limitation, the Intercreditor agreement), Oncure and each of the Guarantors will be entitled to receive all cash dividends, interest and other payments made upon or with respect to the Equity Interests of their Subsidiaries and to exercise any voting rights, consensual rights and other rights pertaining to such Collateral pledged by it. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, upon notice and demand from the Collateral Agent, (a) all rights of Oncure or such Guarantor, as the case may be, to exercise such voting rights, consensual rights, or other rights shall cease and all such rights shall become vested in the Collateral Agent, which, to the extent permitted by law shall have the sole right to exercise such voting rights, consensual rights or other rights, (b) all rights of Oncure or such Guarantor, as the case may be, to receive cash dividends, interest and other payments made upon or with respect to the Collateral shall cease, and such cash dividends, interest and other payments shall be paid to the Collateral Agent, and (c) the Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with, and subject to the terms of, the Collateral Agreements. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, all funds distributed under the Collateral Agreements and received by the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the holders shall be distributed by the Collateral Agent to the Trustee for application in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

        There can be no assurance that the proceeds from the sale of the Collateral remaining after the satisfaction of all Obligations owed pursuant to claims under any Credit Facility or after the satisfaction of all other Obligations secured by any Collateral would be sufficient to satisfy the obligations owed to the holders of the notes.

        To the extent third parties hold Permitted Liens, such third parties may have rights and remedies with respect to the property subject to such Liens that, if exercised, could adversely affect the value of the Collateral. By its nature, some or all of the Collateral will be illiquid and may have no readily ascertainable market value and any sale of such Collateral separately from the assets of Oncure as a whole may not be feasible. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Collateral can be sold in a short period of time, if salable. See "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Notes—The notes will be secured only to the extent of the value of the assets having been granted as security for the notes, which may not be sufficient to satisfy our obligations under the notes".

Table of Contents

Optional Redemption

        At any time prior to May 15, 2013, Oncure may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of notes issued under the Indenture, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at a redemption price of 111.750% of principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of a sale of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of Oncure or a contribution to Oncure's common equity capital; provided that:

            (1)   at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of notes originally issued under the Indenture (excluding notes held by Oncure and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and

            (2)   the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such sale or contribution.

        Except pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the notes will not be redeemable at Oncure's option prior to May 15, 2014.

        On or after May 15, 2014, Oncure may redeem all or a part of the notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest on the notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on May 15 of the years indicated below, subject to the rights of holders of notes on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date:

Year
  Percentage  

2014

    105.875 %

2015

    102.938 %

2016 and thereafter

    100.000 %

        Unless Oncure defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.

Mandatory Redemption

        Oncure is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the notes.

Repurchase at the Option of Holders

Change of Control

        If a Change of Control occurs, each holder of notes will have the right to require Oncure to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that holder's notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer on the terms set forth in the Indenture. In the Change of Control Offer, Oncure will offer to purchase notes for cash at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest on the notes repurchased to the date of purchase, referred to as the Change of Control Payment, subject to the rights of holders of notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, Oncure will mail a notice to the Trustee and each holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase notes on the Change of Control Payment Date (as defined below) specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, referred to as the Change of Control Payment Date, pursuant to the procedures required by the Indenture and described in such notice. Oncure will comply with the

132


Table of Contents


requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the Indenture, Oncure will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the Indenture by virtue of such compliance.

        On the Change of Control Payment Date, Oncure will, to the extent lawful:

            (1)   accept for payment all notes or portions of notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

            (2)   deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all notes or portions of notes properly tendered; and

            (3)   deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the notes properly accepted together with an officers' certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of notes or portions of notes being purchased by Oncure.

        The paying agent will promptly deliver to each holder of notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each holder a exchange note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the notes surrendered, if any. Oncure will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

        The provisions described above that require Oncure to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of the Indenture are applicable. Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control, the Indenture does not contain provisions that permit the holders of the notes to require that Oncure repurchase or redeem the notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction. As a result, Oncure could enter into certain transactions, including acquisitions, refinancings, or other recapitalizations, that could affect Oncure's capital structure or the value of the notes, but that would not constitute a Change of Control.

        Oncure will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by Oncure and purchases all notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to the Indenture as described above under the caption "—Optional Redemption," unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

        The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of "all or substantially all" of the properties or assets of Oncure and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of notes to require Oncure to repurchase its notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the assets of Oncure and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to another Person or group may be uncertain.

        The agreements governing Oncure's other Indebtedness, including the Revolving Credit Facility, contain, and future agreements may contain, prohibitions of certain events, including events that would

133


Table of Contents


constitute a Change of Control. The exercise by the holders of notes of their right to require Oncure to repurchase the notes upon a Change of Control could cause a default under these other agreements, even if the Change of Control itself does not, due to the financial effect of such repurchases on Oncure. In the event a Change of Control occurs at a time when Oncure is prohibited from purchasing notes, Oncure could seek the consent of its lenders to the purchase of notes or could attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain such prohibition. If Oncure does not obtain a consent or repay those borrowings, Oncure will remain prohibited from purchasing notes. In that case, Oncure's failure to purchase tendered notes would constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture which could, in turn, constitute a default under the other indebtedness. Finally, Oncure's ability to pay cash to the holders of notes upon a repurchase may be limited by Oncure's then existing financial resources. See "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Notes—We may not be able to satisfy our obligations to holders of the notes upon a change of control or sale of assets."

Asset Sales

        Oncure will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

            (1)   Oncure (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

            (2)   at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by Oncure or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

              (a)   any liabilities, as shown on Oncure's most recent consolidated balance sheet, of Oncure or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation or indemnity agreement that releases or indemnifies Oncure or such Restricted Subsidiary from or against further liability;

              (b)   any securities, notes or other obligations received by Oncure or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are contemporaneously, subject to ordinary settlement periods, converted by Oncure or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion; and

              (c)   any stock or assets of the kind referred to in clauses (2) or (4) of the next paragraph of this covenant.

        Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, Oncure (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply such Net Proceeds:

            (1)   to repay Indebtedness and other Obligations under a Credit Facility, and if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;

            (2)   to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, the Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of Oncure;

            (3)   to make a capital expenditure; or

            (4)   to acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in a Permitted Business.

134


Table of Contents

        In the case of clauses (2), (3) and (4) of the preceding paragraph, Oncure (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) will be deemed to have complied with its obligations under the preceding paragraphs if it enters into a binding commitment to acquire such assets or Capital Stock or make such capital expenditure prior to 365 days after the receipt of the applicable Net Proceeds; provided that such binding commitment will be subject only to customary conditions and such acquisition or expenditure is completed within 180 days following the expiration of the aforementioned 365-day period. If the acquisition or expenditure contemplated by such binding commitment is not consummated on or before such 180th day, and Oncure (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) has not applied the applicable Net Proceeds for another purpose permitted by the preceding paragraph on or before such 180th day, such commitment shall be deemed not to have been a permitted application of Net Proceeds.

        Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, Oncure (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary) may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the Indenture.

        Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the second paragraph of this covenant will constitute "Excess Proceeds." When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, Oncure will, within five days thereof, make an Asset Sale Offer to all holders of notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase the maximum principal amount of notes and any other Indebtedness that is secured on a pari passu basis with the notes (including all accrued interest on the Indebtedness and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection therewith) that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase, prepayment or redemption and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, Oncure may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of notes and other pari passu secured Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select the notes and Oncure will select such other pari passu secured Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis, or in the case of the notes, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate so as the notes are maintained by a minimum denomination of $2,000 or a multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

        Oncure will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale provisions of the Indenture, Oncure will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of the Indenture by virtue of such compliance.

        The agreements governing Oncure's other Indebtedness, including the Revolving Credit Facility, contain, and future agreements may contain, prohibitions of certain events, including events that would constitute an Asset Sale. The exercise by the holders of notes of their right to require Oncure to repurchase the notes upon an Asset Sale could cause a default under these other agreements, even if the Asset Sale itself does not, due to the financial effect of such repurchases on Oncure. In the event an Asset Sale occurs at a time when Oncure is prohibited from purchasing notes, Oncure could seek the consent of its lenders to the purchase of notes or could attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain such prohibition. If Oncure does not obtain a consent or repay those borrowings, Oncure will remain prohibited from purchasing notes. In that case, Oncure's failure to purchase tendered notes would constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture which could, in turn, constitute a default

135


Table of Contents


under the other indebtedness. Finally, Oncure's ability to pay cash to the holders of notes upon a repurchase may be limited by Oncure's then existing financial resources. See "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Notes—We may not be able to satisfy our obligations to holders of the notes upon a change of control or sale of assets."

Selection and Notice

        If less than all of the notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select notes for redemption on a pro rata basis by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange requirements.

        No notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part. Notices of redemption will be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of notes to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Any notice of redemption may be conditional.

        If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that note will state the portion of the principal amount of that note that is to be redeemed. An exchange note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original note will be issued in the name of the holder of notes upon cancellation of the original note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on notes or portions of notes called for redemption so long as Oncure does not default in making the payment on the applicable redemption date.

Certain Covenants

Restricted Payments

        Oncure will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

            (1)   declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of Oncure's Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving Oncure) or to the direct or indirect holders of Oncure's Equity Interests in their capacity as such (other than dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of Oncure);

            (2)   purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation involving Oncure) any Equity Interests of Oncure or any direct or indirect parent of Oncure;

            (3)   make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, any Indebtedness of Oncure or any Guarantor that is contractually subordinated to the notes or to any Note Guarantee (excluding any intercompany Indebtedness between or among Oncure and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), except a payment of interest or principal at the Stated Maturity thereof; or

            (4)   make any Restricted Investment

(all such payments and other actions set forth in these clauses (1) through (4) above being collectively referred to as "Restricted Payments"),

unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:

            (1)   no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment;

136


Table of Contents

            (2)   Oncure would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Leverage Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of the covenant described below under the caption "—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock;" and

            (3)   such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by Oncure and its Restricted Subsidiaries since the date of the Indenture (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2) through and (8) of the next succeeding paragraph), is less than the sum, without duplication, of:

              (a)   50% of the Consolidated Net Income of Oncure for the period (taken as one accounting period) from the beginning of the first fiscal quarter commencing after the date of the Indenture to the end of Oncure's most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, less 100% of such deficit); plus

              (b)   100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by Oncure since the date of the Indenture as a contribution to its common equity capital or from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of Oncure (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the issue or sale of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Stock or convertible or exchangeable debt securities of Oncure that have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests (other than Equity Interests (or Disqualified Stock or debt securities) sold to a Subsidiary of Oncure); plus

              (c)   to the extent that any Restricted Investment that was made after the date of the Indenture is (a) sold for cash or otherwise liquidated or repaid for cash, or (b) made in an entity that subsequently becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of Oncure the lesser of (i) the cash return of capital with respect to such Restricted Investment (less the cost of disposition, if any) and (ii) the initial amount of such Restricted Investment; plus

              (d)   to the extent that any Unrestricted Subsidiary of Oncure designated as such after the date of the Indenture is redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary after the date of the Indenture, the lesser of (i) the Fair Market Value of Oncure's Investment in such Subsidiary as of the date of such redesignation or (ii) such Fair Market Value as of the date on which such Subsidiary was originally designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the date of the Indenture; plus

              (e)   50% of any dividends received by Oncure or a Restricted Subsidiary of Oncure after the date of the Indenture from an Unrestricted Subsidiary of Oncure, to the extent that such dividends were not otherwise included in the Consolidated Net Income of Oncure for such period.

        The preceding provisions will not prohibit:

            (1)   the payment of any dividend or the consummation of any irrevocable redemption within 60 days after the date of declaration of the dividend or giving of the redemption notice, as the case may be, if at the date of declaration or notice the dividend or redemption payment would have complied with the provisions of the Indenture;

            (2)   the making of any Restricted Payment in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of Oncure) of, Equity Interests of Oncure (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the substantially concurrent contribution of common equity capital to Oncure; provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such Restricted Payment will be excluded from clause (3)(b) of the preceding paragraph;

            (3)   the repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Indebtedness of Oncure or any Guarantor that is contractually subordinated to the notes or to any Note Guarantee with the net cash proceeds from a substantially concurrent incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness;

            (4)   so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby, the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Equity Interests of Oncure, any Restricted Subsidiary of Oncure or any direct or indirect parent of Oncure held by any current or former officer, director or employee of Oncure or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to any equity subscription agreement, stock option agreement, shareholders' agreement or similar agreement; provided that the aggregate price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Equity Interests may not exceed $1.0 million in any twelve-month period;

            (5)   the repurchase of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options to the extent such Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise price of those stock options;

            (6)   so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby, the declaration and payment of regularly scheduled or accrued dividends to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Stock of Oncure or any Restricted Subsidiary of Oncure issued after the date of the Indenture in accordance with the Leverage Ratio test described below under the caption "—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock;"

            (7)   payments of cash, dividends, distributions, advances or other Restricted Payments by Oncure or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to allow the payment of cash in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares upon (i) the exercise of options or warrants or (ii) the conversion or exchange of Capital Stock of any such Person;

            (8)   Permitted Payments to Parent; and

            (9)   so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby, other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount since the date of the Indenture not to exceed the greater of (i) $7.5 million and (ii) 2.0% of Oncure's Total Assets.

        The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by Oncure or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The Fair Market Value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this covenant will be determined by the Board of Directors of Oncure whose resolution with respect thereto will be delivered to the Trustee. The Board of Directors' determination must be based upon an opinion or appraisal issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing if the Fair Market Value exceeds $5.0 million.

Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock

        Oncure will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, "incur") any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and Oncure will not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that Oncure may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock, and the Guarantors may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue preferred stock, if Oncure's Leverage Ratio immediately preceding the date on

138

which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or such preferred stock is issued, as the case may be, would have been no greater than:

            (1)   5.5 to 1, if the additional Indebtedness is incurred or the Disqualified Stock or the preferred stock is issued prior to May 15, 2012;

            (2)   5.25 to 1, if the additional Indebtedness is incurred or the Disqualified Stock or the preferred stock is issued on or after May 15, 2012 but prior to May 15, 2013;

            (3)   5.0 to 1, if the additional Indebtedness is incurred or the Disqualified Stock or the preferred stock is issued on or after May 15, 2013 but prior to May 15, 2014;

            (4)   4.75 to 1, if the additional Indebtedness is incurred or the Disqualified Stock or the preferred stock is issued on or after May 15, 2014 but prior to May 15, 2015; and

            (5)   4.5 to 1, if the additional Indebtedness is incurred or the Disqualified Stock or the preferred stock is issued on or after May 15, 2015;

in each case determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Disqualified Stock or the preferred stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.

        The first paragraph of this covenant will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, "Permitted Debt"):

            (1)   the incurrence by Oncure and its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness and letters of credit under Credit Facilities in an amount (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of Oncure and its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed at any one time outstanding the greater of (a) $40.0 million, less the aggregate amount of all Net Proceeds of Asset Sales applied by Oncure or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the date of the Indenture to repay any term Indebtedness under a Credit Facility or to repay any revolving credit Indebtedness under a Credit Facility and effect a corresponding commitment reduction thereunder pursuant to the covenant described above under the caption "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales," and (b) an amount equal to 100% of Oncure's Consolidated Cash Flow for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such Indebtedness is to be incurred, determined on a pro forma basis to give effect to the application of the net proceeds of such Indebtedness as if such transactions had occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period and in a manner consistent with the second paragraph of the definition of "Leverage Ratio;"

            (2)   the incurrence by Oncure and its Restricted Subsidiaries of Existing Indebtedness;

            (3)   the incurrence by Oncure and the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the notes and the related Note Guarantees to be issued on the date of the Indenture;

            (4)   the incurrence by Oncure or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of design, construction, installation or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business of Oncure or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in an aggregate amount, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4), not to exceed at any time outstanding the greater of (i) $10.0 million and (ii) 3.5% of Oncure's Total Assets;

139


Table of Contents

            (5)   the incurrence by Oncure or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge, any Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by the Indenture to be incurred under the first paragraph of this covenant or clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (13) or (14) of this paragraph;

            (6)   the incurrence by Oncure or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among Oncure and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:

              (a)   if Oncure or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the payee is not Oncure or a Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the notes and the Note Guarantees; and

              (b)   any (i) subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than Oncure or a Restricted Subsidiary of Oncure, or (ii) sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either Oncure or a Restricted Subsidiary of Oncure, will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by Oncure or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (6);

            (7)   the issuance by any of Oncure's Restricted Subsidiaries to Oncure or to any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that any (a) subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such preferred stock being held by a Person other than Oncure or a Restricted Subsidiary of Oncure, or (b) sale or other transfer of any such preferred stock to a Person that is not either Oncure or a Restricted Subsidiary of Oncure, will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such preferred stock by such Restricted Subsidiary that was not permitted by this clause (7);

            (8)   the incurrence by Oncure or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations in the ordinary course of business;

            (9)   the guarantee by Oncure or any of the Guarantors of Indebtedness of Oncure or a Restricted Subsidiary of Oncure that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this covenant; provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to or pari passu with the notes, then the Guarantee shall be subordinated or pari passu, as applicable, to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed;

            (10) the incurrence by Oncure or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of workers' compensation claims, self-insurance obligations, financing of insurance premiums, bankers' acceptances, performance and surety bonds in the ordinary course of business;

            (11) the incurrence by Oncure or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently drawn against insufficient funds, so long as such Indebtedness is covered within five business days;

            (12) Indebtedness of Oncure or any Restricted Subsidiary consisting of guarantees, indemnities or obligations in respect of purchase price adjustments, earn-outs or similar obligations in connection with the acquisition or disposition of assets or a Subsidiary;

            (13) Indebtedness or Disqualified Capital Stock of Persons (other than Indebtedness or Disqualified Capital Stock incurred in anticipation of such acquisition or merger) that are acquired by Oncure or any Restricted Subsidiary or merged into Oncure or a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; provided that after giving effect to such acquisition

140


Table of Contents


    either (a) Oncure would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Leverage Ratio provisions of this covenant or (b) the Leverage Ratio would be no greater than such Leverage Ratio immediately prior to such acquisition; and

            (14) the incurrence by Oncure or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (14), not to exceed the sum of (a) $7.5 million and (b) 100.0% of the net cash proceeds received by Oncure since the date of the Indenture from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of Oncure or cash contributed to the capital of Oncure (in each case, other than proceeds of Disqualified Stock or sales of Equity Interests to Oncure or any of its Subsidiaries) to the extent that such net cash proceeds or cash have not been and are not applied to make a Restricted Payment or a Permitted Investment, or otherwise to increase the amount available to be applied to make a Restricted Payment or a Permitted Investment, pursuant to the covenant "—Restricted Payments."

        Oncure will not incur, and will not permit any Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of Oncure or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the notes and the applicable Note Guarantee on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of Oncure solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a junior Lien basis.

        For purposes of determining compliance with this "Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock" covenant, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (14) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, Oncure will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this covenant. Indebtedness under Credit Facilities outstanding on the date on which notes are first issued and authenticated under the Indenture will initially be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (1) of the definition of Permitted Debt. The accrual of interest or preferred stock dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on preferred stock or Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of preferred stock or Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of preferred stock or Disqualified Stock for purposes of this covenant. For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be utilized, calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that Oncure or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.

        The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:

            (1)   the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;

            (2)   the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and

141


Table of Contents

            (3)   in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:

              (a)   the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and

              (b)   the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.

Liens

        Oncure will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien securing Indebtedness of any kind on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens.

Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries

        Oncure will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

            (1)   pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to Oncure or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any indebtedness owed to Oncure or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

            (2)   make loans or advances to Oncure or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or

            (3)   sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to Oncure or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

        However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

            (1)   agreements governing Existing Indebtedness and Credit Facilities as in effect on the date of the Indenture (including without limitation the agreements governing or related to the Revolving Credit Facility) and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in those agreements on the date of the Indenture;

            (2)   agreements governing other Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under the provisions of the covenant described above under the caption "—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock" and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the restrictions therein are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the Indenture, the notes and the Note Guarantees;

            (3)   the Indenture, the notes, the Note Guarantees and the Collateral Agreements;

            (4)   applicable law, rule, regulation or order;

            (5)   any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by Oncure or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness or Capital Stock was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person,

    so acquired; provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of the Indenture to be incurred;

            (6)   customary non-assignment provisions in contracts and licenses entered into in the ordinary course of business;

            (7)   purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business and Capital Lease Obligations that impose restrictions on the property purchased or leased of the nature described in clause (3) of the preceding paragraph;

            (8)   any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending the sale or other disposition;

            (9)   Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced;

            (10) Liens permitted to be incurred under the provisions of the covenant described above under the caption "—Liens" that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;

            (11) provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements (including agreements entered into in connection with a Restricted Investment) entered into with the approval of Oncure's Board of Directors, which limitation is applicable only to the assets that are the subject of such agreements; and

            (12) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business.

Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets

        Oncure will not, directly or indirectly: (1) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not Oncure is the surviving corporation); or (2) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of Oncure and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to another Person, unless:

            (1)   either: (a) Oncure is the surviving corporation; or (b) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than Oncure) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made is a corporation organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia;

            (2)   the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than Oncure) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made assumes all the obligations of Oncure under the notes and the Indenture;

            (3)   immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

            (4)   Oncure or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than Oncure), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made, on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, (i) would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Leverage Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of the covenant described above under the caption "—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock," or (ii) would have had a Leverage Ratio not to exceed Oncure's Leverage Ratio immediately prior to such transaction.

143


Table of Contents

        In addition, Oncure will not, directly or indirectly, lease all or substantially all of the properties and assets of it and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to any other Person.

        This "Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets" covenant will not apply to:

            (1)   a merger of Oncure with an Affiliate solely for the purpose of reincorporating Oncure in another jurisdiction; or

            (2)   any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of assets between or among Oncure and its Restricted Subsidiaries.

Transactions with Affiliates

        Oncure will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of Oncure (each, an "Affiliate Transaction") involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $500,000, unless:

            (1)   the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to Oncure or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by Oncure or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

            (2)   Oncure delivers to the Trustee:

              (a)   with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million, (i) a resolution of the Board of Directors of Oncure set forth in an officers' certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this covenant and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of Oncure or (ii) an opinion as to the fairness to Oncure or such Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing; and

              (b)   with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to Oncure or such Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing.

        The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of the prior paragraph:

            (1)   any employment agreement, employee benefit plan, officer or director indemnification agreement or any similar arrangement entered into by Oncure or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and payments pursuant thereto;

            (2)   transactions between or among Oncure and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;

            (3)   transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of Oncure) that is an Affiliate of Oncure solely because Oncure owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person;

            (4)   payment of reasonable and customary fees and reimbursements of expenses (pursuant to indemnity arrangements or otherwise) of officers, directors, employees or consultants of Oncure or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

144


Table of Contents

            (5)   any issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of Oncure to Affiliates of Oncure;

            (6)   Permitted Investments and Restricted Payments that do not violate the provisions of the Indenture described above under the caption "—Restricted Payments;"

            (7)   payment of the amounts specified in, or determined pursuant to, the Management Agreement as in effect on the date of the Indenture;

            (8)   loans or advances to employees in the ordinary course of business not to exceed $1.0 million in the aggregate at any one time outstanding; and

            (9)   Permitted Payments to Parent.

Business Activities

        Oncure will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses, except to such extent as would not be material to Oncure and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Additional Note Guarantees

        If Oncure or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates another Domestic Subsidiary after the date of the Indenture, then Oncure will (1) cause that newly acquired or created Domestic Subsidiary to execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to which it becomes a Guarantor and (2) deliver an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, in each case within ten business days of the date on which the Domestic Subsidiary was acquired or created; provided that any Domestic Subsidiary that constitutes an Immaterial Subsidiary need not become a Guarantor until such time as it ceases to be an Immaterial Subsidiary.

Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries

        The Board of Directors of Oncure may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by Oncure and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as Unrestricted will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under the covenant described above under the caption "—Restricted Payments" or under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by Oncure. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors of Oncure may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if that redesignation would not cause a Default.

        Any designation of a Subsidiary of Oncure as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors giving effect to such designation and an officers' certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by the covenant described above under the caption "—Restricted Payments." If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of the Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of Oncure as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under the covenant described under the caption "—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock," Oncure will be in default of such covenant. The Board of Directors of Oncure may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted

145


Table of Contents


Subsidiary of Oncure; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of Oncure of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under the covenant described under the caption "—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock," calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference period; and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.

Payments for Consent

        Oncure will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any holder of notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of the Indenture or the notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all holders of the notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

Impairment of Security Interest

        Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, neither Oncure nor any Restricted Subsidiary will take or omit to take any action which would adversely affect or impair in any material respect the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral, except as otherwise permitted or required by the Collateral Agreements or the Indenture. Neither Oncure nor any Restricted Subsidiary will enter into any agreement that requires the proceeds received from any sale of Collateral to be applied to repay, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire any Indebtedness of any Person, other than as permitted by the Indenture and the Collateral Agreements (including the Intercreditor Agreement). Oncure shall, and shall cause each Guarantor to, at each of Oncure's and such Guarantor's sole cost and expense, execute and deliver all such agreements and instruments and take all further action as the Collateral Agent or the Trustee shall reasonably request to more fully or accurately describe the property intended to be Collateral or the obligations intended to be secured by the Collateral Agreements. Oncure shall, and shall cause each Guarantor to, at each of Oncure's and such Guarantor's sole cost and expense, file any such notice filings or other agreements or instruments as may be reasonably necessary or desirable under applicable law to perfect the Liens created by the Collateral Agreements.

Information Regarding Collateral

        Oncure will furnish to the Collateral Agent, with respect to Oncure or any Guarantor, prompt written notice of any change in such Person's (i) corporate name, (ii) jurisdiction of organization or formation, (iii) identity or corporate structure or (iv) Federal Taxpayer Identification Number. Oncure agrees not to effect or permit any change referred to in the preceding sentence unless all filings have been made under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise that are required in order for the Collateral Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected security interest in all of the Collateral. Oncure also agrees to promptly notify the Collateral Agent in writing if any material portion of the Collateral is damaged or destroyed.

        Each year, at the time of the delivery of the annual financial statements with respect to the preceding fiscal year, Oncure shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate of the financial officer setting forth the information required pursuant to the perfection certificate required by the Indenture or confirming that there has been no change in such information since the date of the previously delivered perfection certificate.

Landlord Waivers

        Oncure and any Domestic Subsidiary that is a lessee of, or becomes a lessee of, real property is, and will be, required to use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the Collateral Agent a landlord waiver executed by the lessor of such real property; provided that if such lease is in existence on the date of the Indenture, Oncure and each such Domestic Subsidiary that is the lessee thereunder shall have 90 days from the date of the Indenture to satisfy such requirement.

Further Assurances

        Oncure and the Guarantors shall execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all further action that may be required under applicable law, or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect the validity and priority of the security interests created or intended to be created by the Collateral Agreements in the Collateral. In addition, from time to time, Oncure will reasonably promptly secure the obligations under the Indenture and the Collateral Agreements by pledging or creating, or causing to be pledged or created, perfected security interests with respect to the Collateral. Oncure shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent all such instruments and documents (including legal opinions, title insurance policies and lien searches) as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request to evidence compliance with this covenant.

Reports

        Whether or not required by the SEC, so long as any notes are outstanding, Oncure will furnish to the Trustee and Holders of notes, or file electronically with the SEC through the SEC's EDGAR System (or any successor system):

            (1)   within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, substantially all annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Form 10-K if Oncure were required to file this Form (but only to the extent similar information is included in this prospectus and the financial statements included herein), including a "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and a report on the annual financial statements by Oncure's certified independent accountants;

            (2)   within 45 days after the end of each of the three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year, substantially all interim quarterly financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Form 10-Q if Oncure were required to file this Form (but only to the extent similar information is included in this prospectus and the financial statements included herein), including a "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations;" and

            (3)   within five business days after the occurrence of each event that would have been required to be reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K if Oncure were required to file this Form, current reports containing substantially all of the information that would be required to be filed in a Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to Sections 1, 2 and 4 and Items 5.01 and 5.02 (other than compensation information) of Form 8-K if Oncure had been a reporting company under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that no such current report will be required to be furnished if Oncure determines in its good faith judgment that such event is not material to Holders of the notes or the business, assets, operations or financial positions of Oncure and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

        If Oncure has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraph will include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in

147


Table of Contents

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the financial condition and results of operations of Oncure and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of Oncure.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event (a) will Oncure be required to comply with Section 302 or Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, related Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC, or Items 301 or 302 of Regulation S-K or Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K (with respect to any non-GAAP financial measures contained therein), in each case, as in effect on the date of the Indenture, or (b) will any reports be required to contain the separate financial information for Guarantors, Subsidiaries whose securities are pledged to secure the notes or acquired businesses as contemplated by Rule 3-05, Rule 3-09, Rule 3-10, or Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC; provided, however, Oncure shall be required to comply with Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X for a "Specified Acquisition."

        In addition, Oncure will (a) post the reports on its website within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations applicable to such reports and (b) arrange and participate in quarterly conference calls to discuss its results of operations with noteholders, prospective purchasers of the notes and securities analysts no later than ten business days following the date on which each of the quarterly and annual reports are made available as provided above. Oncure will provide to the Trustee and holders of the notes dial-in conference call information substantially concurrently with the posting of such reports on its website. Access to any such reports on Oncure's website and to such quarterly conference calls may be password protected, provided that Oncure makes reasonable efforts to notify the Trustee and holders of the notes of, and, upon request, provides to securities analysts and prospective investors, the password and other information required to access such reports on its website and such quarterly conference calls.

        Oncure and the Guarantors also agree that, for so long as any notes remain outstanding, they will furnish to the holders of notes and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

Events of Default and Remedies

        Each of the following is an "Event of Default:"

            (1)   default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the notes;

            (2)   default in the payment when due (at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise) of the principal of, or premium on, the notes;

            (3)   failure by Oncure or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with the provisions described under the captions "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control," "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales," "—Certain Covenants—Restricted Payments," "—Certain Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock" or "—Certain Covenants—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets;"

            (4)   failure by Oncure or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 60 days after notice to Oncure by the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding voting as a single class to comply with any of the other agreements in the Indenture;

            (5)   default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by Oncure or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by Oncure or any of its

148


Table of Contents


    Restricted Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of the Indenture, if that default:

              (a)   is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium on, such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a "Payment Default"); or

              (b)   results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity,

    and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $5.0 million or more;

            (6)   failure by Oncure or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final judgments entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction aggregating in excess of $10.0 million, which judgments remain unpaid or are not discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days;

            (7)   except as permitted by the Indenture, any Note Guarantee is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee;

            (8)   any Collateral Agreement at any time for any reason shall cease to be in full force and effect in all material respects, or ceases to give the Collateral Agent the Liens, rights, powers and privileges purported to be created thereby, superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons other than the holders of Permitted Liens and subject to no other Liens except as expressly permitted by the applicable Collateral Agreement or the Indenture; or Oncure or any of the Guarantors, directly or indirectly, contest in any manner the effectiveness, validity, binding nature or enforceability of any Collateral Agreement; or

            (9)   certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency described in the Indenture with respect to Oncure or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary.

        In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to Oncure, any Restricted Subsidiary of Oncure that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of Oncure that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes may declare all the notes to be due and payable immediately.

        Subject to certain limitations, holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from holders of the notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, interest or premium.

        In case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any holders of notes unless such holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal,

149


Table of Contents


interest or premium when due, no holder of a note may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the notes unless:

            (1)   such holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

            (2)   holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

            (3)   such holders have offered the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense;

            (4)   the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

            (5)   holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

        The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the holders of all of the notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal, interest or premium.

        In the case of any Event of Default occurring by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of Oncure with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that Oncure would have had to pay if Oncure then had elected to redeem the notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of the Indenture, an equivalent premium will also become and be immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the notes. If an Event of Default occurs prior to May 15, 2014 by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of Oncure with the intention of avoiding the prohibition on redemption of the notes prior to that date, then an additional premium specified in the Indenture will also become and be immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the notes.

        Oncure is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a written statement regarding compliance with the Indenture. Upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, Oncure is required to deliver to the Trustee a written statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

        The rights of the Trustee and any holder to exercise any remedies with respect to an Event of Default may be limited by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders

        No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of Oncure or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of Oncure or the Guarantors under the notes, the Indenture or the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each holder of notes by accepting a note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

        Oncure may at any time, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an officers' certificate, elect to have all of its obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding

150


Table of Contents


notes and all obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their Note Guarantees ("Legal Defeasance") except for:

            (1)   the rights of holders of outstanding notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, and interest and premium on, such notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below;

            (2)   Oncure's obligations with respect to the notes concerning issuing temporary notes, registration of notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;

            (3)   the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and Oncure's and the Guarantors' obligations in connection therewith; and

            (4)   the Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance provisions of the Indenture.

        In addition, Oncure may, at its option and at any time, elect to have the obligations of Oncure and the Guarantors released with respect to certain covenants (including its obligation to make Change of Control Offers and Asset Sale Offers) that are described in the Indenture ("Covenant Defeasance") and thereafter any omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the notes. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including non-payment, bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation and insolvency events) described under "—Events of Default and Remedies" will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the notes.

        In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

            (1)   Oncure must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the holders of the notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, and interest and premium on, the outstanding notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and Oncure must specify whether the notes are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date;

            (2)   in the case of Legal Defeasance, Oncure must deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel confirming that (a) Oncure has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the date of the Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel will confirm that, the holders of the outstanding notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

            (3)   in the case of Covenant Defeasance, Oncure must deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel confirming that the holders of the outstanding notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

            (4)   no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which Oncure or any Guarantor is a party or by which Oncure or any Guarantor is bound;

151


Table of Contents

            (5)   such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than the Indenture) to which Oncure or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which Oncure or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

            (6)   Oncure must deliver to the Trustee an officers' certificate stating that the deposit was not made by Oncure with the intent of preferring the holders of notes over the other creditors of Oncure with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of Oncure or others; and

            (7)   Oncure must deliver to the Trustee an officers' certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

        If Oncure exercises Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, any Liens securing the notes that were created pursuant to the Indenture and the Collateral Agreements will be released.

Amendment, Supplement and Waiver

        Except as provided in the next succeeding paragraphs and subject to the restrictions imposed by the Intercreditor Agreement, the Indenture, the notes, the Collateral Agreements or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the notes, the Collateral Agreements or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, notes).

        Without the consent of each holder of notes, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not:

            (1)   reduce the principal amount of notes whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

            (2)   reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the notes (other than provisions relating to the covenants described above under the caption "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders");

            (3)   reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any note;

            (4)   waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, and interest and premium on, the notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the notes by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

            (5)   make any note payable in money other than that stated in the notes;

            (6)   make any change in the provisions of the Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of holders of notes to receive payments of principal of, and interest and premium on, the notes;

            (7)   waive a redemption payment with respect to any note (other than a payment required by one of the covenants described above under the caption "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders");

152


Table of Contents

            (8)   release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or the Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; or

            (9)   make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.

        Without the consent of the holders of at 662/3% in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, notes), an amendment, supplement or waiver may not release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens created pursuant to the Collateral Agreements, except in accordance with the Indenture and the Collateral Agreements.

        Notwithstanding the preceding, without the consent of any holder of notes, Oncure, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture, the notes, the Collateral Agreements and the Note Guarantees:

            (1)   to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

            (2)   to provide for uncertificated notes in addition to or in place of Certificated Notes;

            (3)   to provide for the assumption of Oncure's or a Guarantor's obligations to holders of notes and Note Guarantees in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of Oncure's or such Guarantor's assets, as applicable;

            (4)   to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the holders of notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such holder;

            (5)   to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

            (6)   to conform the text of the Indenture, the notes, or the Note Guarantees to any provision of this Description of Exchange Notes to the extent that such provision in this Description of Exchange Notes was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, the notes or the Note Guarantees as certified by Oncure in an officer's certificate;

            (7)   to provide for the issuance of additional notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture as of the date of the Indenture;

            (8)   to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the notes; or

            (9)   in connection with any addition or release of Collateral permitted under the terms of the Indenture or the Collateral Agreements.

Satisfaction and Discharge

        The Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all notes issued thereunder, when:

            (1)   either:

              (a)   all notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed notes that have been replaced or paid and notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to Oncure, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

              (b)   all notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and Oncure or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a

153


Table of Contents


      combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, interest and premium to the date of maturity or redemption;

            (2)   no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which Oncure or any Guarantor is a party or by which Oncure or any Guarantor is bound;

            (3)   Oncure or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under the Indenture; and

            (4)   Oncure has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under the Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the notes at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be.

        In addition, Oncure must deliver an officers' certificate and an opinion of counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

Concerning the Trustee

        If the Trustee becomes a creditor of Oncure or any Guarantor, the Indenture limits the right of the Trustee to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The Trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions; however, if it acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as Trustee (if the Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act) or resign.

        The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee, subject to certain exceptions. The Indenture provides that in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent man in the conduct of his own affairs. The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request of any holder of notes, unless such holder has offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

Additional Information

        Anyone who receives this prospectus may obtain a copy of the Indenture without charge by writing to OnCure Holdings, Inc., 188 Inverness Drive West, Suite 650, Englewood, Colorado 80112, Attention: General Counsel.

Book-Entry, Delivery and Form

        The exchange notes will be issued in the form of one or more fully registered notes in global form, referred to as the Global Notes. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Note will be limited to persons who have accounts with the DTC, referred to as participants, or persons who hold interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Note will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by the DTC, its nominee (with respect to interests of participants) and the records of participants (with respect to interests of persons other than participants).

154


Table of Contents

        So long as the DTC or its nominee is the registered owner or holder of a Global Note, the DTC or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the notes represented by such Global Note for all purposes under the Indenture and the exchange notes. No beneficial owner of an interest in a Global Note will be able to transfer that interest except in accordance with the DTC's applicable procedures, in addition to those provided for under the Indenture.

        Payments of the principal of, and interest on, a Global Note will be made to the DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner thereof. None of Oncure, the Trustee or any Paying Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a Global Note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

        We expect that the DTC or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal or interest in respect of a Global Note, will credit participants' accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of such Global Note as shown on the records of the DTC or its nominee. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in such Global Note held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in the names of nominees for such customers. Such payments will be the responsibility of such participants.

        Transfers between participants in the DTC will be effected in the ordinary way in accordance with the DTC rules and will be settled in same-day funds.

        We expect that the DTC will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of exchange notes (including the presentation of exchange notes for exchange as described below) only at the direction of one or more participants to whose account the DTC interests in a Global Note is credited and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of exchange notes as to which such participant or participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an Event of Default under the notes, the DTC will exchange the applicable Global Note for Certificated Notes, which it will distribute to its participants.

        We understand that the DTC is a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a "banking organization" within the meaning of New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code and a "Clearing Agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. The DTC was created to hold securities for its participants and facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Indirect access to the DTC system is available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies and certain other organizations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly, referred to as indirect participants.

        Although the DTC is expected to follow the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in a Global Note among participants of the DTC, it is under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. Neither Oncure nor the Trustee will have any responsibility for the performance by the DTC or its respective participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

        If the DTC is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as a depositary for the Global Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed by Oncure within 90 days, we will issue Certificated Notes in exchange for the Global Notes. Holders of an interest in a Global Note may receive Certificated Notes

155


Table of Contents


in accordance with the DTC's rules and procedures in addition to those provided for under the indenture.

Same-Day Settlement and Payment

        The paying agent will distribute payments in respect of the notes represented by the Global Notes (including principal, interest or premium) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by DTC or its nominee. The paying agent will distribute all payments of principal, interest and premium with respect to Certificated Notes by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the holders of the Certificated Notes or, if no such account is specified, by mailing a check to each such holder's registered address. The notes represented by the Global Notes are expected trade in DTC's Same-Day Funds Settlement System, and any permitted secondary market trading activity in such notes will, therefore, be required by DTC to be settled in immediately available funds. Oncure expects that secondary trading in any Certificated Notes will also be settled in immediately available funds.

Registration Rights

        The Company is party to a registration rights agreement pursuant to which it has agreed to:

    file one or more registration statements no later than 270 days after the closing of the offering of the private notes enabling the holders of the private notes to exchange their private notes for exchange notes;

    cause the registration statement to become effective within 330 days after the closing of this offering;

MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

        The following is a summary of the material United States federal income tax consequences relevant to the exchange of private notes for exchange notes in the exchange offer and the ownership and disposition of the exchange notes, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects. The discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), United States Treasury Regulations issued thereunder, Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") rulings and pronouncements and judicial decisions now in effect, all of which are subject to change at any time. Any such change may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect a holder of the notes. No rulings have been or will be sought from the IRS with respect to the matters discussed below, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a different position concerning the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the notes, or that any such position would not be sustained by a court. This summary is limited to holders who purchase and hold the notes as "capital assets" within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all of the United States federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a holder in light of the holder's particular circumstances or to holders subject to special rules, such as banks, financial institutions, United States expatriates and certain other former citizens or long-term residents of the United States, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, dealers in securities or currencies, traders in securities, S corporations, partnerships or other pass-through entities, U.S. Holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the United States dollar, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, tax-exempt organizations, tax deferred or other retirement accounts, persons holding the notes as part of a "straddle," "hedge," "conversion transaction" or other integrated transaction and persons deemed to sell the notes under the constructive sale provisions of the Code. Moreover, the effect of other United States federal tax laws (such as estate and gift tax laws) and any applicable state, local or foreign tax laws is not discussed.

        YOU ARE URGED TO CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF THE NOTES ARISING UNDER THE FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX RULES OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN OR OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE TAX TREATY.

        As used herein, "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of the notes who is treated for United States federal income tax purposes as:

    an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

    a corporation, or other entity treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

    an estate, the income of which is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source; or

    a trust that (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a United States court and the control of one or more United States persons or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a United States person.

If a partnership or other entity or arrangement taxable as a partnership holds the notes, the tax treatment of the partners in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the particular partner in question and the activities of the partnership. Partners should consult their own tax advisors as to the specific tax consequences to them of holding the notes indirectly through ownership of their partnership interests.

Exchange Pursuant to this Exchange Offer

        The exchange of private notes for exchange notes in the exchange offer will not constitute a taxable exchange for United States federal income tax purposes. As a result, (1) a holder will not recognize taxable gain or loss as a result of exchanging such holder's private notes; (2) the holding period of the exchange notes will include the holding period of the private notes exchanged therefor; and (3) the adjusted basis of the exchange notes received will be the same as the adjusted basis of the private notes exchanged therefor immediately before such exchange.

U.S. Holders

        Payments of Interest.    Payments of stated interest on the notes generally will be taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary income at the time that such payments are received or accrued, in accordance with such U.S. Holder's method of tax accounting for United States federal income tax purposes.

        Additional Payments.    In certain circumstances (see "Description of Exchange Notes—Optional Redemption" and "Description of Exchange Notes—Repurchase at the Option of Holders"), we may be obligated to pay amounts in excess of stated interest or principal on the notes. Although the issue is not free from doubt, we intend to take the position that the possibility of such payments does not result in the notes being treated as contingent payment debt instruments under the applicable Treasury regulations. Our position is binding on a U.S. Holder unless such holder discloses its contrary position in the manner required by applicable Treasury Regulations. Our position is not binding on the IRS, and if the IRS were to take a contrary position, U.S. Holders may be required to treat any gain recognized on the sale or other disposition of the notes as ordinary income rather than as capital gain. Furthermore, U.S. Holders would be required to accrue interest income on a constant yield basis at an assumed yield determined at the time of issuance of the notes, with adjustments to such accruals when any contingent payments are made that differ from the payments calculated based on the assumed yield. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application to the notes of the contingent payment debt instrument rules and the consequences thereof. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the notes will not be treated as contingent payment debt instruments.

        Market Discount.    If a U.S. Holder acquires a note and, immediately after such acquisition, such holder's adjusted basis in the note is less than its stated principal amount, the amount of such difference is treated as "market discount" for United States federal income tax purposes, subject to a de minimis limitation. Under the market discount rules of the Code, a U.S. Holder will be required to treat any partial payment of principal on a note, and any gain on the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of such note, as ordinary income to the extent of the accrued market discount that has not previously been included in income, subject to certain exceptions. If a U.S. Holder disposes of such note in certain otherwise nontaxable transactions, accrued market discount must be included as ordinary income by such holder as if such holder had sold the note at its then fair market value.

        In general, the amount of market discount that has accrued is determined on a ratable basis. U.S. Holders may, however, elect to determine the amount of accrued market discount on a constant yield to maturity basis. This election is made on a note-by-note basis and is irrevocable.

        With respect to notes with market discount, a U.S. Holder may not be allowed to deduct immediately a portion of the interest expense on any indebtedness incurred or continued in order to purchase or to carry the notes. A U.S. Holder may elect to include market discount in income currently as it accrues, in which case the interest deferral rule set forth in the preceding sentence will not apply. This election will apply to all market discount debt instruments acquired by the U.S. Holder on or after the first day of the first taxable year to which the election applies and is irrevocable without the consent of the IRS. The U.S. Holder's adjusted basis in a note will be increased by the amount of market discount included in such holder's income under the election.

173


Table of Contents

        Amortizable Bond Premium.    If a U.S. Holder acquires a note and, immediately after such acquisition, such holder's adjusted basis in the note exceeds its stated principal amount, such holder will be considered to have acquired the note with "bond premium" equal to such excess amount. Generally, the U.S. Holder may elect to amortize such bond premium using a constant yield to maturity method over the remaining term of the note (or, if it results in a smaller amount of amortizable bond premium, until an earlier call date). Under United States Treasury Regulations, the U.S. Holder may offset the stated interest income allocable to an accrual period with the bond premium allocable to the accrual period. If the bond premium allocable to an accrual period exceeds the stated interest income allocable to the accrual period, the excess is treated as a bond premium deduction. However, the amount treated as a bond premium deduction is limited to the amount by which such holder's total interest inclusions on the note in prior accrual periods exceed the total amount treated by such holder as a bond premium deduction in prior accrual periods. If any of the excess bond premium is not deductible, that amount is carried forward to the next accrual period and is treated as bond premium allocable to that period. If a U.S. Holder elects to amortize bond premium, such holder must reduce such holder's adjusted basis in the note by the amount of the bond premium used to offset stated interest income or treated as a deduction as set forth above. An election to amortize bond premium applies to all taxable debt obligations held during the taxable year for which the election is made or thereafter acquired by the U.S. Holder and may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS.

        Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Notes.    A U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of a note equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the disposition (less a portion allocable to any accrued and unpaid interest, which will be taxable as interest) and the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the note. A U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in a note (or a portion thereof) generally will be the U.S. Holder's cost therefor decreased by any payment on the note other than a payment of stated interest. This gain or loss generally will be a capital gain or loss, and will be a long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has held the note for more than one year. Otherwise, such gain or loss will be a short-term capital gain or loss. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate holders are currently subject to tax at a reduced rate. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

        Backup Withholding and Information Reporting.    A U.S. Holder may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding when such holder receives principal and interest payments on the notes held or upon the proceeds received upon the sale or other disposition of such notes (including a redemption or retirement of the notes). A U.S. Holder will be subject to backup withholding if such holder is not otherwise exempt and such holder:

    fails to furnish the holder's taxpayer identification number ("TIN"), which, for an individual, is ordinarily his or her social security number;

    furnishes an incorrect TIN;

    is notified by the IRS that the holder has failed to properly report payments of interest or dividends; or

    fails to certify, under penalties of perjury, that the holder has furnished a correct TIN and that the IRS has not notified the holder that the holder is subject to backup withholding.

U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding their qualification for an exemption from backup withholding and the procedures for obtaining such an exemption, if applicable. Backup withholding is not an additional tax, and taxpayers may use amounts withheld as a credit against their United States federal income tax liability or may claim a refund as long as they timely provide the required information to the IRS.

Non-U.S. Holders

        A "non-U.S. Holder" is a beneficial owner of the notes who is not a U.S. Holder or a partnership or other entity treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes.

        Payment of Interest.    Interest paid to a non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to United States federal withholding tax of 30% (or, if applicable, a lower treaty rate) provided that:

    such holder does not directly or indirectly, actually or constructively, own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our voting stock;

    such holder is not a controlled foreign corporation that is related to us through actual or constructive stock ownership and is not a bank that received such notes on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business; and

    such non-U.S. Holder provides its name and address, and certifies, under penalties of perjury, that such holder is not a United States person (which certification may be made on an IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form)), or such holder holds its notes through certain foreign intermediaries and such holder and the foreign intermediaries satisfy the certification requirements of applicable Treasury Regulations.

Even if the above conditions are not met, a non-U.S. Holder may be entitled to a reduction in or an exemption from withholding tax on interest under a tax treaty between the United States and the non-U.S. Holder's country of residence. To claim such a reduction or exemption, a non-U.S. Holder must generally complete IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form) and claim this reduction or exemption on the form. A non-U.S. Holder generally will also be exempt from withholding tax on interest if such interest is effectively connected with such holder's conduct of a United States trade or business and, if an income tax treaty applies, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment (as discussed below) and the holder provides us with an IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form).

        Additional Payments.    In certain circumstances (see "Description of Exchange Notes—Optional Redemption" and "Description of Exchange Notes—Repurchase at the Option of Holders"), we may be obligated to pay additional amounts on the notes. Such payments may be treated as interest subject to the rules described above or additional amounts paid for the notes subject to the rules described below, as applicable, or as other income subject to United States federal withholding tax. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the certification requirements for non-U.S. Holders.

        Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Notes.    A non-U.S. Holder will generally not be subject to United States federal income tax or withholding tax on gain recognized on the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of a note if the gain is not effectively connected with a United States trade or business of the non-U.S. Holder and, if an income tax treaty applies, is not attributable to a United States permanent establishment. However, a non-U.S. Holder may be subject to tax on such gain if such holder is an individual who was present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition and certain other conditions are met, in which case such holder may have to pay a United States federal income tax of 30% (or, if applicable, a lower treaty rate) on such gain, which gain may be offset by certain U.S. source capital losses. A non-U.S. Holder should consult any applicable income tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

        United States Trade or Business.    If interest or gain from a disposition of the notes is effectively connected with a non-U.S. Holder's conduct of a United States trade or business (and, if an income tax treaty applies, the non-U.S. Holder maintains a United States "permanent establishment" to which the interest or gain is attributable), the non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to United States federal

income tax on the interest or gain on a net basis in the same manner as if it were a U.S. Holder. If interest income received with respect to the notes is effectively connected with a United States trade or business (or, if an income tax treaty applies, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment), the 30% withholding tax described above will not apply (assuming an appropriate certification is provided). A foreign corporation that is a holder of a note also may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, subject to certain adjustments, unless it qualifies for a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty. For this purpose, interest on a note or gain from a disposition of a note will be included in earnings and profits if the interest or gain is effectively connected with the conduct by the foreign corporation of a trade or business in the United States.

        Backup Withholding and Information Reporting. A non-U.S. Holder, in general, will not be subject to backup withholding and information reporting with respect to payments we make to such holder provided that we do not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such holder is a United States person, as defined under the Code, and such holder has given us the statement described above under "—Non-U.S. Holders—Payment of Interest." In addition, a non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting with respect to the proceeds of the sale of a note within the United States or conducted through certain United States-related financial intermediaries, if the payor receives the statement described above and does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such holder is a United States person, as defined under the Code, or such holder otherwise establishes an exemption. However, we generally will be required to report annually to the IRS the amount of, and any tax withheld with respect to, any interest paid to such holders. Copies of these information returns may also be made available to the tax authorities of the country in which a non-U.S. Holder resides under the provisions of a specific treaty or agreement.

        Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding application of withholding and backup withholding in their particular circumstances and the availability of and procedure for obtaining an exemption from withholding, information reporting and backup withholding under current United States Treasury Regulations. Backup withholding is not an additional tax, and taxpayers may use amounts withheld as a credit against their United States federal income tax liability or may claim a refund as long as they timely provide the required information to the IRS.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

        Until 90 days after the date of this prospectus, all dealers effecting transactions in the exchange notes, whether or not participating in this distribution, may be required to deliver a prospectus. This is in addition to the obligation of dealers to deliver a prospectus when acting as underwriters and with respect to their unsold allotments or subscriptions.

        Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of exchange notes received in exchange for securities where such securities were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, starting on the expiration date we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale for such period of time as such broker-dealers must comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in order to resell the exchange notes.

        We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of exchange notes by brokers-dealers. Exchange notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the exchange notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of any such exchange notes. Any broker-dealer that resells exchange notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such exchange notes may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit of any such resale of exchange notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.

        We will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents for such period of time as such broker-dealer must comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in order to resell the exchange notes. We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer (including the expenses of one counsel for the holder of the securities) other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers and will indemnify the holders of the securities (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

OnCure Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

June 30, 2010

1. Organization and Business Summary

        OnCure Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company" or "OnCure") is a Delaware corporation formed in 2006 to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Oncure Medical Corp. (the Merger). OnCure is substantially owned by funds managed by Genstar Capital, LLC. The Company has 1,000,000 shares of authorized preferred stock of which none is issued or outstanding.

        OnCure is principally engaged in providing capital equipment and business management services to radiation oncology physician groups ("Groups") that treat patients at cancer centers ("Centers"). The Company owns the Centers' assets and provides services to the Groups through exclusive, long-term management services agreements. OnCure provides the Groups with oncology business management expertise and new technologies including radiation oncology equipment and related treatment software. Business services that OnCure provides to the Groups include non-physician clinical and administrative staff, operations management, purchasing, managed care contract negotiation assistance, reimbursement, billing and collecting, information technology, human resource and payroll, compliance, accounting, and treasury. Under the terms of the management services agreements, the Company is reimbursed for certain operating expenses of each Center and earns a monthly management fee from each Group that is primarily based on a predetermined percentage of each Group's earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA"). The Company manages the radiation oncology business operations of six Groups in Florida, six Groups in California, one Group in Indiana for a fee that ranges from 50% to 60% of EBITDA; and one Group in California for a fee that is 74% of net revenue.

        The Company has evaluated subsequent events through August 16, 2010, the date the consolidated financial statements were available for issuance.

        These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information or notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") and, accordingly should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2009. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full fiscal year.

2. Net Revenue

        Net revenue is recorded at the amount earned by the Company under the management services agreements when services are rendered by the Groups. Services rendered by the respective Groups are billed by the Company, as the exclusive billing agent of the Groups, to patients, third-party payors, and others. As differences between the Groups' revenues and the expected payments are identified based on actual final settlements, an adjustment to the Groups' revenues is made as a change in estimate. As a result of these changes to the Groups' revenues and related EBITDA, the Company's net revenue increased by approximately $0.3 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, respectively. There was no similar change in the Company's net revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 2010. Amounts distributed to the Groups for their services under the terms of the management services

2. Net Revenue (Continued)


agreements totaled $13.1 million and $16.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, amounts payable to the Groups for their services of $3.0 million and $2.9 million, respectively, were included in accrued expenses.

        The Groups derive a significant portion of revenue from amounts billed to Medicare, Medicaid (including Medi-Cal with respect to California), and other payors that receive discounts from the Groups' approved gross billing amount. As the Company is not a medical provider, all contracts are between the Groups and the responsible parties, but the negotiation of contract terms is one of the business services provided by the Company under its management services agreements. The Company must estimate the total amount of these discounts, which reduce revenue for both the Groups and the Company, to prepare its consolidated financial statements. The Medicare and Medicaid regulations and the various managed care contracts under which these discounts must be calculated are complex and subject to interpretation and adjustment. Additionally, updated regulations and contract renegotiations occur frequently, necessitating regular review and assessment of the estimation process by management.

        During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, approximately 44% and 41%, respectively, of the Groups' revenues related to services rendered under the Medicare and Medicaid programs. In the ordinary course of business, the Company, as the Groups' billing agent, and the Groups are potentially subject to a review by regulatory agencies concerning the accuracy of billings and sufficiency of supporting documentation of procedures performed. Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are extremely complex and subject to interpretation.

        As a result, there is at least a reasonable possibility that estimates will change by a material amount in the near term.

        The Company has two management agreements that generated approximately 26% and 13% of revenue, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, and 22% and 12% of revenue, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

3. Long-Term Debt

3. Long-Term Debt (Continued)

        The principal terms of the agreements that governed the Company's outstanding indebtedness which was outstanding at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010 are summarized below:

11.75% Senior Secured Notes

        On May 13, 2010, the Company concluded an offering for $210.0 million of 11.75% Senior Secured Notes ("Senior Notes") which will mature on May 15, 2017. The offering of the Senior Secured Notes closed on May 13, 2010 with generated net proceeds to the Company of $206.3 million which was utilized to repay the outstanding balances of the Company's Senior term loan and Subordinated debt along with $8.9 million of expenses of the offering. The Senior Notes are secured by the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and are guaranteed by the Company's subsidiaries. Prior to May 15, 2013, up to 35% of the Senior Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company with proceeds from an equity offering at a redemption price of 111.75%. On or after May 15, 2014, 2015 and 2016 the notes are redeemable at the option of the Company at redemption prices of 105.875%, 102.938% and 100.0%, respectively. The Company has agreed to file an exchange offer registration statement to enable the holders of the Senior Notes to exchange the unregistered Senior Notes for notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933 with substantially identical terms.

        The Senior Notes are governed by an indenture that contains certain restrictive covenants. These restrictions affect, and in many respects limit or prohibit, among other things, the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur indebtedness, make prepayments of certain indebtedness, pay dividends, make investments, engage in transactions with stockholders and affiliates, issue capital stock of subsidiaries, create liens, sell assets, and engage in mergers and consolidations.

Revolving Credit Facility

        Concurrently with the closing of the offering of the Senior Notes, our direct wholly-owned subsidiary, Oncure Medical Corp. and each of its direct and indirect subsidiaries entered into a new senior secured revolving credit facility ("Revolving Credit Facility") with GE Capital Markets, Inc., as sole lead arranger and book manager, General Electric Capital Corporation, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the other lenders from time to time party thereto.

        The new Revolving Credit Facility provided for aggregate commitments of up to $40.0 million, including a letter of credit sub-facility of $2.0 million and a swing line sub-facility of $2.0 million, and will provide for the increase, at the Company's option, of aggregate commitments by $10.0 million, subject to certain conditions. The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a rate of Prime plus 3.5% (6.75% at June 30, 2010) or LIBOR plus 4.5% (6.00% at June 30, 2010).

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
OnCure Holdings, Inc.

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of OnCure Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2009. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2009

1. Organization and Business Summary

        OnCure Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (collectively, the Company or OnCure) is a Delaware corporation formed in 2006 to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Oncure Medical Corp. (the Merger). OnCure is substantially owned by funds managed by Genstar Capital, LLC. The Company has 1,000,000 shares of authorized preferred stock of which none is issued or outstanding.

        OnCure is principally engaged in providing capital equipment and business management services to radiation oncology physician groups (Groups) that treat patients at cancer centers (Centers). The Company owns the Centers' assets and provides services to the Groups through exclusive, long-term management services agreements. OnCure provides the Groups with oncology business management expertise and new technologies including radiation oncology equipment and related treatment software. Business services that OnCure provides to the Groups include non-physician clinical and administrative staff, operations management, purchasing, managed care contract negotiation assistance, reimbursement, billing and collecting, information technology, human resource and payroll, compliance, accounting, and treasury. Under the terms of the management service agreements, the Company is reimbursed for certain operating expenses of each Center and earns a monthly management fee from each Group that is primarily based on a predetermined percentage of each Group's earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). The Company manages the radiation oncology business operations of six Groups in Florida, seven Groups in California, and one Group in Indiana for a fee that ranges from 50% to 60% of EBITDA.

        The Company has evaluated subsequent events through March 18, 2010, the date the consolidated financial statements were available for issuance.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company consolidates variable interest entities if the Company is the primary beneficiary of the activities of those entities. The Company has determined that none of its existing management services agreements with its Groups meet the requirements for consolidation under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Specifically, the Company does not have an equity ownership interest in any of the Groups. Furthermore, the Company's service agreements specifically do not give the Company "control" of the Groups as the Company does not have exclusive authority over decision making and the Company does not have a financial interest in the Groups. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Reclassifications

        Certain previously reported financial information has been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Such reclassifications did not materially affect the Company's consolidated financial condition, net loss, or cash flows as previously reported.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Use of Estimates

        The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as disclosures at the date of the consolidated financial statements.

        Management considers many factors in selecting appropriate financial accounting policies and controls, and in developing the estimates and assumptions that are used in the preparation of these financial statements. Management must apply significant judgment in this process. In addition, other factors may affect estimates, including expected business and operational changes, sensitivity and volatility associated with the assumptions used in developing estimates, and whether historical trends are expected to be representative of future trends. The estimation process often may yield a range of potentially reasonable estimates of the ultimate future outcomes and management must select an amount that falls within that range of reasonable estimates. Consequently, actual results may differ from those estimated amounts used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Net Revenue

        Net revenue is recorded at the amount earned by the Company under the management services agreements when services are rendered by the Groups. Services rendered by the respective Groups are billed by the Company, as the exclusive billing agent of the Groups, to patients, third-party payors, and others. As differences between the Groups' revenues and the expected payments are identified based on actual final settlements, an adjustment to the Groups' revenues is made as a change in estimate. As a result of these changes to the Groups' revenues and related EBITDA, the Company's net revenue increased by approximately $0.2 million, $1.8 million and $1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Amounts distributed to the Groups for their services under the terms of the management services agreements totaled $30.4 million, $31.1 million and $24.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, amounts payable to the Groups for their services of $2.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively, were included in accrued expenses.

        The Groups derive a significant portion of revenue from amounts billed to Medicare, Medicaid, and other payors that receive discounts from the Groups' approved gross billing amount. As the Company is not a medical provider, all contracts are between the Group and the responsible parties, but the negotiation of contract terms is one of the business services provided by the Company under its management services agreements. The Company must estimate the total amount of these discounts, which reduce revenue for both the Groups and the Company, to prepare its consolidated financial statements. The Medicare and Medicaid regulations and various managed care contracts under which these discounts must be calculated are complex and subject to interpretation and adjustment. Additionally, updated regulations and contract renegotiations occur frequently, necessitating regular review and assessment of the estimation process by management.

        During 2009, 2008 and 2007, approximately 44%, 46% and 50%, respectively, of the Groups' revenues related to services rendered under the Medicare and Medicaid programs. In the ordinary course of business, the Company, as the Group's billing agent, and the Groups are potentially subject

to a review by regulatory agencies concerning the accuracy of billings and sufficiency of supporting documentation of procedures performed. Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are extremely complex and subject to interpretation. As a result, there is at least a reasonable possibility that estimates will change by a material amount in the near term.

        The Company has two management agreements that generated approximately 23% and 13% of revenue, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2009, 24% and 14% of revenue, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2008, and 26% and 16% of revenue, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        The Company considers all highly liquid securities with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable, Net

        Accounts receivable are assigned by the Groups to the Company and are reported net of estimated allowances for doubtful accounts and contractual adjustments.

        Reimbursements relating to health care accounts receivable, particularly governmental receivables, are complex, change frequently, and could, in the future, adversely impact the Company's ability to collect accounts receivable and the accuracy of estimates.

        Accounts receivables are estimated at their net realizable value, which in management's judgment is the amount that the Company expects to collect, taking into account contractual agreements that reduce gross fees billed and allowances for doubtful accounts that may otherwise be uncollectible. Accounts receivable are uncollateralized and primarily consist of amounts due from third-party payors and patients. If the Company determines that accounts are uncollectible, the management services agreements require the Group to reimburse the Company for the additional uncollectible amount. Such reimbursement reduces the Group's earnings for the applicable period. Because the Company's management fees are primarily based upon the Group's earnings, this adjustment would also reduce the Company's management fees.

        The amount of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based upon management's assessment of historical and expected net collections, business and economic conditions, trends in federal and state government health care coverage, and other collection indicators. The primary tool used in management's assessment is a monthly, detailed review of historical collections and write-offs of accounts receivable. The results of the detailed review of historical collections and write-off experience, adjusted for changes in trends and conditions, are used to evaluate the allowance amount for the current period. Accounts receivable are written-off after collection efforts have been followed in accordance with the Company's policies.

    (2,063 )   (1,492 )
           

Balance, end of year

  $ 640   $ 555  
           

Property and Equipment

        Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the improvement or the life of the lease. Amortization of assets under capital lease obligations is included in depreciation and amortization in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

        Major asset classifications and useful lives are as follows:

Buildings

  7 years

Clinical medical equipment

  5 - 10 years

Office, computer, and telephone equipment

  2 - 10 years

        Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments, which extend the useful lives of existing equipment, are capitalized and depreciated.

Management Services Agreements, Net

        Management services agreements represent the intangible assets that were purchased in the Merger. In connection with the Merger, existing services agreements were recorded at their estimated fair values based upon an independent valuation. The agreements are noncancelable except for performance defaults that are subject to various notice and cure periods.

        The Company amortizes the management services agreement intangible assets on a straight-line basis over the term of each agreement, including one renewal option period, which range from 4 to 24 years (see Note 4).

Long-Lived Assets

        Property and equipment that is intended to be held and used by the Company and management services agreement intangible assets are reviewed to determine whether any events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amounts of the assets may not be recoverable. If factors exist that indicate the carrying amounts of the assets may not be recoverable from estimated future cash flows, the Company determines whether an impairment has occurred through the use of an undiscounted cash

flow analysis and, if necessary, would recognize a loss for the difference between the carrying amounts and the fair values of the assets. Impairment analysis is subjective and assumptions regarding future growth rates and operating expense levels can have a significant impact on the expected future cash flows and impairment analysis.

        The Company recorded an impairment loss from discontinued operations in its consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 (see Note 5).

        The Company has determined that there have been no other events or changes in circumstances to indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable, thus no other impairment was recorded.

Goodwill

        The Company tests for the impairment of goodwill on at least an annual basis, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate its carrying value might not be recoverable. The provisions require that a two-step impairment test be performed on goodwill. In the first step, the fair value of the Company is compared to the carrying value of the net assets. Fair value is estimated using discounted cash flows and other market-related valuation models. If the fair value of the Company exceeds the carrying value of the net assets, goodwill is considered not to be impaired and the Company is not required to perform further testing.

        If the carrying value of the net assets exceeds the fair value of the Company, then the Company must perform the second step of the impairment test in order to determine the implied fair value of the Company's goodwill. If the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, the Company would record an impairment loss equal to the difference.

        The Company recorded a goodwill impairment loss from discontinued operations in its consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 (see Note 5).

        No other goodwill impairment loss was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 or 2007.

Purchase Price Allocation

        The purchase price allocation for acquisitions requires use of accounting estimates and judgments to allocate the purchase price to the identifiable tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values. Such fair value estimates, which consider market participant assumptions, include, but are not limited to, estimating future cash flows and developing appropriate discount rates. The operating results of acquired entities are included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations from the date of acquisition.

Other Assets, Net

        Other assets consist primarily of deferred debt financing costs, which are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the terms of the related debt agreements, and investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries.

Income Taxes

        The income tax benefit represents the estimated current and deferred federal and state income taxes. Deferred taxes arise primarily from the recognition of revenues and expenses in different periods for income tax and financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The impact of a tax position is recognized when it is more than likely than not to be sustained on audit. The benefit recognized is the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount more likely than not to be realized.

Stock-Based Compensation

        The Company recognizes compensation expense in its consolidated statements of operations for all share-based payment awards to employees and directors. The fair value of share-based payment awards is estimated at the grant date using an option pricing model, and the portion that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as compensation cost over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.

        The Company adopted the "simplified method" to determine the expected term for "plain vanilla" options in its Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. The "simplified method" states that the expected term is equal to the average of the vesting term plus the contract term of the option.

        The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to estimate the fair value of share-based awards and recognizes share-based compensation costs over the vesting period using the straight-line single option method. Because the Company does not have publicly traded equity, the Company has developed a volatility assumption to be used for option valuation based upon an index of publicly traded peer companies. In selecting comparable companies, the Company looked at several factors including industry and size in terms of market capitalization.

        The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield in effect at the time of option grant on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with equivalent remaining terms.

        Share-based compensation is recognized only for those awards that are ultimately expected to vest. The Company records compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, and revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        The Company's receivables, payables, prepaids, and accrued liabilities are current assets and obligations on normal terms and, accordingly, the recorded values are believed by management to approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company's long-term debt approximates fair value due to the variable interest rate.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

        The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on its floating-rate Credit Agreement (see Note 6). The interest rate swap agreement is a contract to exchange floating-rate interest payments for fixed-interest payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts. The notional amount of the interest rate swap agreement is used to measure interest to be paid or received and does not represent the amount of exposure to credit loss. The Company's interest rate swap agreement was not designated for and did not qualify for hedge accounting. Therefore, any differential paid or received on the interest rate swap agreement is recognized as gain (loss) on interest rate swap in the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the swap is recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements utilizing inputs observable in active markets, such as interest rates. The related liability was included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

6. Long-Term Debt (Continued)

        The delayed draw term loan included within the Credit Agreement matures June 30, 2012, and has scheduled quarterly payments. The delayed draw term loan bears interest at the Credit Agreement's reference base rate plus 2.00% or LIBOR plus 3.50% at December 31, 2009. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, interest rates were 3.75% and 4.75%, respectively. The delayed draw term loan is subject to an unused line fee of 0.75% to be paid monthly. The balance of the delayed draw term loan was $49.8 million and $50.0 million at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company has the ability to request that the maximum available principal amount of the delayed draw term loan be increased by $15.0 million.

        The revolving line of credit included within the Credit Agreement matures on August 18, 2011. The revolving line of credit bears interest at the Credit Agreement's reference base rate plus 1.75% or LIBOR plus 3.25% at December 31, 2009. At December 31, 2009, the interest rate was 5.0%. The revolving line of credit is subject to an unused line fee of 0.50% to be paid monthly. Borrowings against the line are subject to limitations based on certain financial ratios. The maximum borrowing limit based on these ratios was $25.0 million at December 31, 2009 and 2008. The balance of the revolving line of credit was $0 and $12.0 million at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

        The Credit Agreement is secured by a pledge of substantially all of the Company's tangible and intangible assets, including accounts receivable, and requires that borrowings and other amounts due under it be guaranteed by the Company's existing and future subsidiaries.

        The Credit Agreement also requires that the Company make mandatory prepayments of outstanding borrowings beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006, accompanied by a corresponding reduction in the maximum amount of borrowings available under the term loans, with 75% of excess cash flow, as defined by the agreement, net proceeds from insurance recoveries, asset sales, and the issuance of equity or debt securities, subject to specified exceptions.

        The Credit Agreement includes a number of restrictive covenants including limitations on the Company's leverage and capital expenditures, limitations on acquisitions, and requirements that the Company maintain minimum "Adjusted EBITDA" and minimum ratios of "Adjusted EBITDA" to fixed charges and interest expense. Additionally, it restricts the Company's ability to pay dividends on its capital stock and contains customary events of default, including an event of default upon a change in control.

Subordinated Debt

        The Company has an $80.0 million Note Purchase Agreement with CDPQ Investments (U.S.), Inc. and ARES Capital Corporation, who are stockholders of the Company, (ARES along with CDPQ are collectively referred to as the Note Parties). The Note Purchase Agreement includes an initial note of $53.0 million and additional notes (the Subordinated Delayed Draw) for up to $32.0 million. The initial note and Subordinated Delayed Draw are uncollateralized. The initial note matures August 18, 2013, with principal paid at maturity. The ability to draw additional amounts under the Subordinated Delayed Draw expired in August 2009. The initial note bears interest at 12.5%, 11% of which is due quarterly and 1.5% is deferred and allocated to the principal of the note balance. The balance of the initial note was $55.7 million and $54.9 million at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, which includes $2.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively, in deferred interest that was allocated to principal.

6. Long-Term Debt (Continued)

        The Subordinated Delayed Draw also matures on August 18, 2013, and bears interest at the same rate as the initial note. The Subordinated Delayed Draw is subject to an unused line fee of 0.5% to be paid monthly. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, approximately $18.9 million and $18.5 million, respectively, were outstanding. The outstanding balance includes deferred interest of $0.6 million and $0.3 million as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, in deferred interest that was allocated to principal.

        The Note Purchase Agreement requires that, after all obligations under the Credit Agreement have been paid, the Company make mandatory prepayments of outstanding borrowings under the Subordinated Delayed Draw beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007. The mandatory prepayment is accompanied by a corresponding reduction in the maximum amount of borrowings available under the term loans. Prepayments are to be made in an amount equal to 75% of excess cash flow for such fiscal year, as defined by the Note Purchase Agreement. There were no mandatory prepayments required as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.

        The Note Purchase Agreement includes a number of restrictive covenants including restrictions on the Company's ability to incur additional debt and liens, become party to contingent liabilities, and purchase shares of and pay dividends on its capital stock. In addition, the Note Purchase Agreement contains customary events of default, including an event of default upon a change in control. As of December 31, 2009, no events of default have occurred with respect to any of the Company's debt agreements.

Loan Fees

        As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the remaining unamortized balance of deferred loan fees was $3.8 million and $5.2 million, respectively. Deferred loan fee costs of $1.5 million, $1.5 million and $1.4 million were amortized to interest expense during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Interest Rate Swap

        The Company has an interest rate swap agreement related to its initial term loan with GE. The notional amount of the swap agreement was $57.0 million at December 31, 2009. The effect of this agreement is to fix the interest rate exposure to the Company's initial term loan under the Senior Term Loan to 5.18% plus the margin on the term loan (3.50% at December 31, 2009).

        The swap agreement matures in March 2011 and contains cross-default provisions to other obligations of the Company and, specifically, the initial term loan with GE. All covenants and provisions of the initial term loan agreement are incorporated in the interest rate swap contract. Collateral under the initial term loan agreement also collateralizes the swap agreement.

        The fair value of the interest rate swap agreement is the estimated amount the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreement at December 31, 2009, taking into account current interest rates and the current creditworthiness of the counterparties. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the fair value of the Company's interest rate swap was a liability of $3.0 million and $4.7 million, respectively, which is included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The interest rate swap agreement does not qualify as a hedge. Accordingly, the changes in the fair value of

the Company's interest rate swap for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, was a gain of $1.7 million, a loss of $2.3 million and a loss of $2.0 million, respectively, included as other expense in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

7. Capital Leases

        The Company is the lessee to several lease agreements to purchase software and medical equipment. Interest rates on the leases range from 8.01% to 8.80%. The leases require monthly principal and interest payments and mature in 2010 through 2014. The leases are collateralized by the equipment leased.

    (30,342 )   (32,289 )
           

Net deferred tax liabilities

  $ (23,006 ) $ (21,849 )
           

        The tax benefit of net operating losses, temporary differences, and credit carryforwards is recorded as an asset to the extent that management assesses that realization is "more likely than not." Realization of the future tax benefits is dependent on the Company's ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period. Because of reversing temporary differences, management believes that recognition of the deferred tax assets arising from the above-mentioned future tax benefits is currently more likely than not and, accordingly, has not recorded a valuation allowance.

        At December 31, 2009, the Company had unused federal net operating losses of approximately $10.6 million expiring from 2022 to 2029. Additionally, there are unused state net operating losses of approximately $9.6 million that expire from 2015 to 2026.

        Federal net operating losses generated prior to August 18, 2006, of approximately $10.4 million are no longer subject to the maximum aggregate annual utilization as a result of the Merger and a previous equity recapitalization of the Company. Current federal and California tax laws include substantial restrictions on the utilization of net operating losses and tax credits in the event of an ownership change of a corporation. Accordingly, the Company's ability to utilize net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be limited in the future as a result of any additional ownership changes. Such a limitation could result in the expiration of carryforwards before they are utilized.

        At December 31, 2009, the Company had $1.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits. The Company is generally subject to federal and state examination for tax years after December 31, 2005, for federal purposes and after December 31, 2004, for state purposes.

9. Acquisitions

        On February 1, 2008, the Company acquired the assets of two separate entities, each of which owned a radiation oncology treatment center in central Florida for approximately $9.2 million plus transaction expenses of $0.2 million. On July 1, 2008, the Company acquired the assets of one radiation oncology treatment center in Indiana for approximately $36.8 million plus transaction expenses of $0.3 million.

        On January 5, 2007, the Company acquired all of the stock of a corporation which owned one radiation oncology treatment center in Central California for approximately $12.8 million plus transaction expenses of $0.3 million. On June 15, 2007, the Company acquired the assets of four radiation oncology treatment centers near Tampa, Florida for approximately $7.8 million plus transaction expenses of $0.2 million.

        The Company allocated the purchase price of these acquisitions to tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill.

        The Company believes the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based on reasonable assumptions.

10. Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

        The Company owns a 24.5% interest in the Southside Cancer Center and records its ownership interest under the equity method of investment in an unconsolidated joint venture. The Chairman of the Board is a partner in Ninth City Landowners, LLP (Ninth City), which also owns 24.5% of the Southside joint venture.

        At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company's investment in the unconsolidated joint venture was approximately $4.0 million and $4.4 million, respectively, and is recorded in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

        Financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts with highly rated financial institutions. These accounts may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Groups grant credit, without collateral, to patients, most of whom are local residents. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable relate principally to third-party payors whose ability to pay for services rendered is dependent on their financial condition.

Insurance

        The Company maintains insurance with respect to professional liability and associated various liability risks on a claims-made basis in amounts believed to be customary and adequate. In addition, pursuant to the management services agreement, the Groups are required to maintain comprehensive medical malpractice insurance. The Company is not aware of any outstanding claims or unasserted claims that are likely to be asserted against the Company or the Groups, which would have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

        The Company maintains all other traditional insurance coverage on either a fully insured or high deductible basis.

Legal Proceedings

        The Company is involved in certain legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. It is the opinion of management, based on advice of legal counsel, that such litigation and claims will be resolved without material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

        In 2009, the Company settled certain litigation. In accordance with the settlement agreement, the Company received proceeds from the settlement in 2009, a portion of which was remitted to the affected Group. These net proceeds reduced general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009, by a material amount. In connection with the settlement, the Company recorded a $4.3 million reduction to general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Vidalia Regional Cancer Center, LLC

        In January 2006, the Company and Meadows Regional Medical Center (Meadows) located in Vidalia, Georgia, formed the Vidalia Regional Cancer Center, LLC (Vidalia). Vidalia was formed to develop, operate, and manage the Vidalia Regional Cancer Center. OnCure and Meadows will each own a 50% interest and have committed to fund an initial $1 million of initial capital upon the successful issuance of a Georgia Certificate of Need (CON) by the Georgia Department of Community. OnCure will be the managing member. The Georgia Department of Community has issued a CON to Vidalia to develop the center, however there has been no development activity to date.

12. Retirement Plan

        The Company has a defined contribution retirement plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Retirement Plan). The Retirement Plan allows all full-time employees to defer a portion of their compensation on a pretax basis through contributions to the Retirement Plan. The Company may elect to make a matching contribution of 3% of the employee's eligible compensation up to a maximum of $2,500. The Company's matching contribution for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, was $0, $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

13. Equity Incentive Plan

        The Company established the OnCure Holdings, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan) pursuant to which the Company may issue to directors, officers, employees, and key consultants of the Company options to purchase shares of common stock. The Plan provides for the issuance of incentive stock options (ISO) and nonqualified stock options (NSO). At December 31, 2009, there were 5,025,228 shares of common stock available for issuance under the Plan. The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or a committee appointed by the Board of Directors. The administrator determines to whom the award is made, the vesting, timing, amounts, and other terms of the award. The exercise price of an ISO or NSO may not be less than the fair value, as determined by the Board of Directors,

of the Company's common stock on the date of the grant. No options granted under the Plan have a term in excess of 10 years from the date of grant. Options issued under the Plan may vest over varying periods of up to four years. One-third of all option grants are subject to performance vesting whereby options will vest upon a change in control of the Company. These options will not vest unless change in control occurs and a required rate of return is achieved. Compensation expense related to these options will not be recognized until such time that a change in control is probable.

        Total stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, was $0.9 million, $0.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for stock options granted under the Plan and were recorded in salaries and benefits in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

        The weighted-average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of options granted under its option plans for each of the years ending December 31 were as follows:

        The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the price of the Company's common stock as determined by the Board of Directors at December 31, 2009, for those awards that have an exercise price currently below the quoted price.

        The weighted-average, grant-date fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, was $3.43, $2.52 and $1.84, respectively. As of December 31, 2009, there was $1.2 million (net of estimated forfeitures) of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested options granted under the Plan. The weighted-average term over which the compensation cost will be recognized is two years. Total unrecognized compensation cost will be adjusted for future changes in estimated forfeitures.

Report of Independent Auditors

Partners
ROA Associates, LLP

        We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of ROA Associates, LLP (ROA LLP) as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations, partners' capital, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and year ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of ROA LLP's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of ROA LLP's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of ROA LLP's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ROA Associates, LLP as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and year ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

ROA Associates, LLP

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2008

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

        ROA Associates, LLP, an Indiana Limited Liability Partnership (ROA LLP) owns the technical assets of an outpatient radiation oncology treatment facility (Facility) in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

        Radiation Oncology Associates, P.C., an Indiana professional corporation (ROA PC) performs radiation oncology health services to Northeast Indiana. ROA PC has personnel and expertise in providing management and personnel services for entities performing radiation therapy services such as those provided at the Facility.

        On July 3, 2008, U.S. Cancer Care, Inc. (USCC) purchased substantially all of the assets and properties that pertain to the Facility which relate to the provision of radiation oncology services. Prior to the sale of ROA LLP to USCC, ROA LLP and ROA PC were under common control.

        The Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement (Partnership Agreement) of ROA LLP details the management of the limited liability partnership, including allocations of net profit or losses, distributions, capital contributions, withdrawal or admission of a partner, management and control, and other matters. According to the Partnership Agreement, the limited liability partnership will continue until May 10, 2021, unless terminated prior to that date by the partners or dissolved earlier as provided by other terms and conditions.

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable

        Net patient service revenues are recorded at the estimated net realizable amounts and consist primarily of fees for the technical services provided by ROA LLP pursuant to fee-for-service type arrangements with various payers including Medicare, health maintenance organizations (HMOs), insurance companies and private payers. Revenue under fee-for-service arrangements is recognized as the services are rendered. Contractual and bad debt allowances were $10,920,418 and $17,388,735 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and year ended December 31, 2007, respectively. Contractual and bad debt adjustments are recorded on an estimated basis in the period the related services are rendered and adjusted in future periods as actual payments are received.

        Allowances to reduce accounts receivable to their estimated net realizable value at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 are based on historical collection experience.

        The mix of gross receivables from patients and third-party payors were as follows:

 
  June 30
2008
  December 31
2007
 

Medicare

    27 %   35 %

Medicaid

    9 %   3 %

Blue Cross

    25 %   9 %

Patients

    5 %   9 %

All other third-party payors

    34 %   44 %
           

    100 %   100 %

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Cash Equivalents

        ROA LLP considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents included money market account funds of $23,749 and $23,616 at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Property and Equipment

        Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method for financial reporting and accelerated methods for income tax purposes. Estimated useful lives for financial reporting purposes are as follows:

Buildings and improvements

  15 - 39 years

Medical equipment

    3 - 7 years

Office equipment

    5 - 7 years

        Expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

Income Taxes

        ROA LLP is treated as a partnership for income tax purposes; consequently, federal and state income taxes are not payable by or provided for ROA LLP. Partners are taxed individually on their share of ROA LLP's earnings.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

        Financial instruments which potentially subject ROA LLP to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable and funds maintained in demand deposit and money market accounts at financial institutions. ROA LLP generally does not require collateral or other security in extending credit to patients; however, ROA LLP routinely obtains assignments of (or is otherwise entitled to receive) benefits receivable under health insurance programs, plans or policies of patients. ROA LLP maintains its cash balances in a financial institution. These cash balances at times may exceed federally insured limits. ROA LLP has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

        The Medicare government reimbursement program accounts for a certain amount of ROA LLP's gross revenue. Currently, expenditure reduction efforts within the United States Congress have created uncertainty over the volume of future healthcare funding. While the healthcare funding reduction issues are presently ongoing, it is at least reasonably possible that the ultimate resolutions could have a negative impact on ROA LLP's future reimbursements for patient services.

Use of Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the

F-57

date of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In addition, SFAS No. 157 requires ROA LLP to consider its own credit spreads when measuring the fair value of liabilities, including derivatives, and the credit spreads of ROA LLP's counterparties when measuring the fair value of assets, including derivatives.

ITEM 20.    INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Delaware

        (a)   OnCure Holdings, Inc., MICA FLO II, Inc., Oncure Medical Corp., U.S. Cancer Care, Inc., USCC Acquisition Corp. and USCC Florida Acquisition Corp. are each incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware.

        Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, grants each corporation organized thereunder the power to indemnify any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation or enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of being or having been in any such capacity, if he acted in good faith in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Under Section 145 of the DGCL, a corporation may pay any such expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.

        Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL enables a corporation in its certificate of incorporation or an amendment thereto to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders of monetary damages for violations of the director's fiduciary duty of care, except (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL (providing for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions), or (iv) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit.

        Furthermore, Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect its directors and officers against any expense, liability or loss, regardless of whether the corporation has the power to indemnify such persons under the DGCL.

        The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of each of OnCure Holdings, Inc., Oncure Medical Corp. and U.S. Cancer Care, Inc. and the Certificate of Incorporation of USCC Acquisition Corp. eliminate the liability of each director in accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL.

        The Amended and Restated Bylaws of OnCure Holdings, Inc., the Bylaws of each of MICA FLO II, Inc., Oncure Medical Corp., USCC Acquisition Corp. and USCC Florida Acquisition Corp., and the Bylaws and Amended Bylaws of U.S. Cancer Care, Inc. provide for (i) the indemnification of directors and officers to the extent permitted by law and (ii) at the request of any such director or officer and to the extent permitted by law, the advancement of expenses so incurred by any such director or officer in defending a civil or criminal action or proceeding.

        OnCure Holdings, Inc. currently carries directors and officers liability insurance on behalf of itself, its subsidiaries and their respective directors and officers, and the employment agreement we have entered into with Mr. Choate provides for indemnification and expense advances to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL.

        (b)   Pointe West Oncology, LLC is registered under the laws of the State of Delaware.

        Section 18-108 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, or the DLLCA, provides that, subject to such standards and restrictions, if any, as are set forth in its limited liability company agreement, a limited liability company may, and shall have the power to, indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever. However, to the extent that the limited liability company agreement seeks to restrict or limit the liabilities of such person, Section 18-1101 of the DLLCA prohibits it from eliminating liability for any act or omission that constitutes a bad faith violation of the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

        The Certificate of Formation of Pointe West Oncology, LLC provides for the indemnification of its members and managers to the fullest extent permitted by the DLLCA.

        Section 317 of the California Corporations Code sets forth the provisions pertaining to the indemnification of corporate "agents." For purposes of this law, an agent is any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or other agent of a California corporation, or is or was serving at the request of a California corporation in such capacity with respect to any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or was a director, officer, employee or other agent of a predecessor corporation of such California corporation or of another enterprise at the request of such predecessor corporation.

where the agent's defense of a proceeding is successful on the merits. In other cases, Section 317 allows a California corporation to indemnify agents for expenses (including amounts paid to defend, settle or otherwise dispose of a threatened or pending action, subject in some cases to court approval) if such agents acted in good faith and in a manner such agents believed to be in the best interests of such corporation, and if the indemnification is authorized by (1) a majority vote of a quorum of such corporation's boards of directors consisting of directors who are not party to the proceedings; (2) If such a quorum of directors is not obtainable, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; (3) approval of the shareholders, with the shares owned by the person to be indemnified not being entitled to vote thereon; or (4) the court in which the proceeding is or was pending upon application by certain designated parties. Under certain circumstances, a California corporation can indemnify an agent even when the agent is found liable. Section 317 also allows a California corporation to advance expenses to its agents for certain actions upon receiving an undertaking by the agent that he or she will reimburse such corporation if the agent is found liable.

        The Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of each of Santa Cruz Radiation Oncology Management Corp. and Coastal Oncology, Inc., the Articles of Incorporation of USCC Healthcare Management Corp. and the Restated Articles of Incorporation of Fountain Valley & Anaheim Radiation Oncology Centers, Inc. eliminate the liability of directors and provide for the indemnification of agents to the fullest extent permitted by California law.

        The FBCA requires that a director, officer or employee be indemnified for actual and reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) to the extent that he or she has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any proceeding.

ITEM 22.    UNDERTAKINGS

        The following undertakings are made by each of the undersigned registrants:

    (a)
    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

    (1)
    To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

    (i)
    To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

    (ii)
    To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

    (ii)
    To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

    (2)
    That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

    (3)
    To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

        The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other Items of the applicable form.

        The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that every prospectus (1) that is filed pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph or (2) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses

II-10


Table of Contents


incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrants in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrants will, unless in the opinion of their counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by final adjudication of such issue.

        The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

Exhibit 3.1

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
OF
ONCURE HOLDINGS, INC.

 

ARTICLE I

 

The name of the corporation is OnCure Holdings, Inc. (the “Corporation”).

 

ARTICLE II

 

The address of this Corporation’s registered office in the State of Delaware is 1209 Orange Street in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle. The name of its registered agent at such address is The Corporation Trust Company.

 

ARTICLE HI

 

The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”).

 

ARTICLE IV

 

The total number of shares of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is Fifty-One Million (51,000,000), divided into Fifty Million (50,000,000) shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, and One Million (1,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share. The Preferred Stock may be issued in one or more series, of which one such series shall be denominated “Series A Preferred Stock.” The Series A Preferred Stock shall consist of One Million (1,000,000) shares.

 

The terms and provisions of the Series A Preferred Stock are as follows:

 

1.                                       Definitions.

 

(a)                                  “Distribution” means the transfer of cash or property without consideration, whether by way of dividend or otherwise (except a dividend of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into or entitling the holder to acquire such Common Stock or other securities solely in connection with a stock split or stock dividend).

 

(b)                                 “Liquidation Preference” shall mean, with respect to a share of Series A Preferred Stock, $3.50 per share plus an amount equal to accrued but unpaid dividends on such share, as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like.

 

(c)                                  “Original Issue Price” shall mean $3.50 per share for the Series A Preferred Stock, as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like.

 



 

2.                                       Dividends.

 

(a)                               Treatment of Preferred. The Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive cumulative compounding dividends at the rate of 9% per annum of the Original Issue Price out of any assets at the time legally available therefor when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend (payable other than in Common Stock or other securities and rights convertible into or entitling the holder thereof to receive, directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock solely in connection with a stock dividend or stock split) on the Common Stock. Such dividends shall accrue on each share from and after the date of issuance, on a daily basis, whether or not declared.

 

In the event the Corporation shall make a Distribution with respect to the Common Stock, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive a proportionate share of any such Distribution as though they were the holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which their shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such Distribution.

 

(b)                               Priority of Dividends. The Corporation shall make no Distribution to the holders of shares of Common Stock except in accordance with this Section 2.

 

3.                                       Liquidation Rights.

 

(a)                               Liquidation Preference. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (“Liquidation”), either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Corporation, the Liquidation Preference specified for each share of Series A Preferred Stock then held by them before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of Common Stock. The Liquidation Preference may, in the discretion of the Board, be paid in cash or other assets of the Corporation.

 

(b)                               Priority. If upon the Liquidation of the Corporation, the assets to be distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full Liquidation Preference for their shares, then the entire assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in proportion to the numbers of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by them multiplied by the Liquidation Preference for such shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

(c)                                Remaining Assets. Upon the completion of the distribution required by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 3, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to stockholders shall be distributed on a pro rata basis among the holders of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock (on an as converted to Common Stock basis).

 

(d)                               Reorganizations and Mergers. For purposes of this Section 3, a Liquidation shall he deemed to be occasioned by, or to include, (a) the acquisition of the Corporation or OnCURE Medical Corp. by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation but excluding any

 

2



 

merger effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Corporation); or (b) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or OnCURE Medical Corp; provided, however, that, in each such case, the applicable transaction shall not be deemed a Liquidation unless the Corporation’s stockholders of record as constituted immediately prior to such acquisition or sale by virtue of their holdings in the Corporation hold less than 50% of the voting power of the surviving or acquiring entity.

 

4.                                       Voting. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as required by law, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of Common Stock shall vote together and not as separate classes:

 

(a)                               Preferred Stock. Each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder. The holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters on which the Common Stock shall be entitled to vote.

 

(b)                               Common Stock. Each holder of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held by such holder.

 

5.                                        Redemption.

 

(a)                                   The Series A Preferred Stock shall be redeemable as follows:

 

(i)                                     The Corporation (x) shall redeem, if it may lawfully do so and is not otherwise restricted by any agreements with its lenders, from any source of funds legally available therefor, all Series A Preferred Stock on February 18, 2014 and (y) may redeem from time to time, if it may lawfully do so and is not otherwise restricted by any agreements with its lenders, from any source of funds legally available therefor, all or a portion of the Series A Preferred Stock. Any date on which a redemption is made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence is referred to herein as a “Redemption Date.” The Corporation shall effect such redemption on a Redemption Date by paying, in exchange for each share of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed, a cash amount equal to the Original Issue Price per share plus all accrued but unpaid dividends on such share (the “Redemption Price”).

 

(ii)                                  The Corporation shall deliver to all holders of the Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed no later than ten (10) business days prior to the Redemption Date a notice (the “Redemption Notice”) specifying (A) the percentage of Series A Preferred Stock being redeemed; (B) the applicable Redemption Price for the shares to be redeemed; and (C) the place at which such holders may obtain payment of the applicable Redemption Price upon surrender of their share certificates. If the Corporation does not have sufficient funds legally available to redeem all shares to be redeemed at the Redemption Date then it shall redeem the shares of Series A Preferred Stock with equal priority and pro rata (based on the portion of the aggregate applicable Redemption Price payable with respect to them) to the extent possible and shall redeem the remaining shares to be redeemed as soon as sufficient funds are legally available. The Conversion Rights (as defined below) with respect to any shares of Series A Preferred Stock

redeemed pursuant to this Section 5 shall terminate as of the Redemption Date, unless default is made in payment of the Redemption Price.

 

(b)                                  On or after each Redemption Date, each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender such holder’s certificates representing such shares to the Corporation in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the applicable Redemption Price of such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof and each surrendered certificate shall be canceled. In the event less than all the shares represented by such certificates are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares. From and after each Redemption Date, unless there shall have been a default in payment of the applicable Redemption Price or the Corporation is unable to pay the applicable Redemption Price due to not having sufficient legally available funds, all rights of the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed (except the right to receive the applicable Redemption Price upon surrender of their certificates) shall cease and terminate with respect to such shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Redemption Date, provided that in the event that shares of Series A Preferred Stock are not redeemed due to a default in payment by the Corporation of the Redemption Price or because the Corporation does not have sufficient legally available funds therefor, such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding and shall be entitled to all of the rights and preferences provided herein.

 

6.                                        Conversion. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have the following conversion rights (“Conversion Rights”):

 

(a)                                  Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock may, at the option of the holder, be converted at any time into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon surrender of the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation together with written notice to the Corporation that such holder elects to convert the same. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into Common Stock upon the first to occur of (i) the election of holders of a majority of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock or (ii) the closing of an underwritten initial public offering of Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as a result of which the common equity of the Corporation shall have an aggregate value, based on the price of such Common Stock offered to the public of at least $150,000,000. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be equal to the Original Issue Price plus all accrued but unpaid dividends on such share divided by the Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” shall initially be equal to the Original Issue Price and shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in this Section 6.

 

(b)                                 In the event the Corporation shall declare a distribution payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Corporation or other persons or assets (excluding cash dividends), then, in each such case for the purpose of this Section 6(b), the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though they were the holders of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation into which their shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution.

 

4



 

(c)                                  If at any time or from time to time there shall be a recapitalization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, combination or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for elsewhere in this Article FOURTH), provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation or otherwise to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such recapitalization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 6 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock after the recapitalization to the end that provisions as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the provisions of this Section 6 shall be applicable after that event.

 

(d)                                      If the Corporation shall issue, after the date upon which any shares of Series A Preferred Stock were first issued (the “Purchase Date”), any Additional Stock (as defined below) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the then applicable Conversion Price, the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall forthwith (except as otherwise provided below) be adjusted to a price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for such issuance would purchase at such Conversion Price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of shares of Additional Stock so issued.

 

“Additional Stock” shall mean any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation after the Purchase Date other than (i) the issuance of Common Stock to employees, consultants, officers or directors of the Company pursuant to stock purchase or stock option plans or agreements approved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors; (ii) the issuance of Common Stock in connection with acquisition transactions; (iii) the issuance of Common Stock to financial institutions or lessors in connection with commercial credit arrangements, equipment financings or similar transactions; (iv) shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock; (v) the issuance of Common Stock in a public offering; (vi) the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to currently outstanding options, warrants, notes, or other rights to acquire securities of the Company; or (vii) stock splits, stock dividends or like transactions.

 

(e)                             No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded to the nearest whole share, but shall in no event equal less than one (1) share. Whether or not fractional shares are issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock the holder is converting into Common Stock, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate conversion of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

(f)                               The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series A

 

5



 

Preferred Stock. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of such Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

 

7.                                        Amendments and Changes. The Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the approval (by vote or consent as provided by law) of a majority of the votes represented by all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding (a) alter or change the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock so as to affect materially and adversely the shares of such Series, (b) increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock or (c) authorize the issuance of securities having a preference over or on a par with the Series A Preferred Stock.

Section 1.2             Special Meetings.  Special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Board of Directors or the President.  Special meetings may not be called by any other person or persons.

 

Section 1.3             Notice of Meetings.  Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given which shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.  Unless otherwise provided by law, the written notice of any meeting shall be given not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting.  If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the Corporation.

 

Section 1.4             Adjournments.  Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting which the adjournment is taken.  At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting.  If the adjournment is for more than thirty days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

 

Section 1.5             Quorum.  At each meeting of stockholders, except where otherwise provided by law or the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum.  In the absence of a quorum, the stockholders so present may, by majority vote, adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided in Section 1.4 of these bylaws until a quorum is present.

 

Section 1.6             Organization.  Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the person designated by the Board of Directors.  The Secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in his absence the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

The record date to determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall not be more than ten days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors.  If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by the General Corporation Law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded.  Delivery made to the Corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.  If no record date has been fixed by the

Section 1.10           Action by Consent of Shareholders.  Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less that the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.  Prompt notice of taking of corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing.

SECTION 2.          Nonexclusivity.  The right to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred on any person by this Article shall not limit the Corporation from providing any other indemnification permitted by law nor shall it be deemed exclusive of any other right which any such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

SECTION 3.          Insurance.  The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprises against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

TWELFTH:           Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation (and in addition to any other vote that may be required by law, this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws), this Certificate may be amended, altered or repealed only (a) by a resolution unanimously adopted by the Board of Directors and approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the

the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, or (v) for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when this paragraph SEVENTH becomes effective.  If the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware hereafter is amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation, in addition to the limitation on personal liability provided herein, shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the amended General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.  Any repeal or modification of this paragraph SEVENTH by the stockholders of the Corporation shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a director of the Corporation existing as of the time of such repeal or modification.

 

EIGHTH:                                                (a)                                  Indemnification.  Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he, or a person for whom he is the legal representative, is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, shall be indemnified by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, against all expense, liability and loss (including settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection with such service; provided, however, that the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding initiated by him only if such proceeding was authorized by the board of directors, either generally or in the specific instance.  The right to indemnification shall include the advancement of expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition in accordance with procedures established from time to time by the board of directors; provided, however, that if the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware so requires, the director, officer or employee shall deliver to the Corporation an undertaking to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be Indemnified under this Article EIGHTH or otherwise.

 

(b)                                 Nonexclusivity.  The rights of indemnification provided in this Article EIGHTH shall be in addition to any rights to which any person may otherwise be entitled by law or under any By-Law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.  Such rights shall continue as to any person who has ceased to be a director, officer or employee and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and administrators, and shall be applied to proceedings commenced after the adoption hereof, whether arising from acts or omissions occurring before or after the adoption hereof.

 

(c)                                  Insurance.  The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance to protect any person against any liability or expense asserted against or incurred by such person in connection with any proceeding, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability or expense by law or under this Article EIGHTH or otherwise.  The Corporation may create a trust fund, grant a security interest or use other means (including without limitation, a letter of credit) to insure the payment of such sums as may become necessary to effect indemnification as provided herein.

Section 2.2.           Special Meetings.  Special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Board of Directors or Chief Executive Officer of the corporation, or when requested in writing by not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of all the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of the corporation.

 

Section 2.3.           Notice of Meetings.  Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given personally, by first class mail, telegram or facsimile transmission by or at the direction of the individual calling the meeting and shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the Meeting is called.  Unless otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or these by-laws, the written notice of any meeting shall be given not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to Vote at such meeting.  If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the corporation.

 

Section 2.4.           Adjournments.  Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken.  At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.  If the

 



 

adjournment is for more than thirty days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 3.11           Telephone Participation.  Any one or more members of the Board, or any committee of the Board, may participate in a meeting of the Board or committee by means of a conference telephone call or similar communications equipment allowing all persons participating in the meeting to hear each other at the same time.  Participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at a meeting.

 

Section 3.12           Committees of the Board.  The Board, by resolution adopted by a majority of the entire Board, may designate one or more committees, each consisting of one or more directors.  The Board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any such committee.  Such alternate members may replace any absent member or members at any meeting of such committee.  Each committee (including the members thereof) shall serve at the pleasure of the Board and shall keep minutes of its meetings and report the same to the Board.  Except as otherwise provided by law, each such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution

 



 

establishing it, shall have and may exercise all the authority of the Board with respect to all matters.

Section 6.              Closing of Transfer Books and Fixing Record Date.  For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other purpose, the Board of Directors may provide that the stock transfer books shall be closed for a stated period but not to exceed, in any case, sixty (60) days.  If the stock transfer books shall be closed for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders, such books shall be closed for at least ten (10) days immediately preceding such meeting.

If a proxy for the same shares confers authority upon two or more persons and does not otherwise provide, a majority of them present at the meeting, or if only one is present then that one, may exercise all the powers conferred by the proxy; but if the proxy holders present at the meeting are equally divided as to the right and manner of voting in any particular case, the voting of such shares shall be prorated.

 

If a proxy expressly provides, any proxy holder may appoint in writing a substitute to act in his place.

 

Section 11.            Waiver of Notice.  A shareholder, either before or after a shareholders’ meeting, may waive notice of the meeting; and his waiver shall be deemed the

 

5



 

equivalent of giving notice.  Attendance at a shareholders’ meeting, either in person or by proxy, of a person entitled to notice shall constitute a waiver of notice of the meeting unless he attends for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of business on the ground that the meeting was not lawfully called or convened.

 

Section 12.            Shareholders’ Agreements.  Two or more shareholders, of this corporation may enter an agreement providing for the exercise of voting rights in the manner provided in the agreement or relating to any phase of the affairs of the corporation as provided by law.  Nothing therein shall impair the right of this corporation to treat the shareholders of record as entitled to vote the shares standing in their names.

 

Section 13.            Action Shareholders Without a Meeting.  Any action required by law, these bylaws, or the Articles of Incorporation of this corporation to be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders of the corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such shareholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.  If any class of shares is entitled to vote thereon as a class, such written consent shall be required of the holders of a majority of the shares of each class of shares entitled to vote as a class thereon and of the total shares entitled to vote thereon.

 

Within ten (10) days after obtaining such authorization by written consent, notice shall be given to those shareholders who have not consented in writing.  The notice shall fairly summarize the material features of the authorized action and, if the action be a merger, consolidation or sale or exchange of assets for which dissenters’ rights are provided under this act, the notice shall contain a clear statement of the right of shareholders dissenting therefrom to be paid the fair value of their shares upon compliance with further provisions of this act regarding the rights of dissenting shareholders.

(a)           one or more officers or employees of the corporation whom the director reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented;

 

(b)           counsel, public accountants or other persons as to matters which the director reasonably believes to be within such person’s professional or expert competence; or

 

(c)           a committee of the board upon which he does not serve, duly designated in accordance with a provision of the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws, as to matters within its designated authority, which committee the director reasonably believes to merit confidence.

 

7



 

A director shall not be considered to be acting in good faith if he has knowledge concerning the matter in question that would cause such reliance described above to be unwarranted.

 

A person who performs his duties in compliance with this section shall have no liability by reason of being or having been a director of the corporation.

 

Section 5.              Presumption of Assent.  A director of the corporation who is present at a meeting of its Board of Directors at which action on any corporate matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless he votes against such action or abstains from voting in respect thereto because of an asserted conflict of interest.

 

Section 6.              Number.  This corporation shall have two (2) directors.  The number of directors may be increased or decreased from time to time by amendment to these Bylaws, but no decrease shall have the effect of shortening the terms of any incumbent director.

 

Section 7.              Election and Term.  Each person named in the Articles of Incorporation as a member of the initial Board of Directors shall hold office until the first annual meeting of shareholders, and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation, removal from office or death.

 

At the first annual meeting of shareholders and at each annual meeting thereafter the shareholders shall elect directors to hold office until the next succeeding annual meeting.  Each director shall hold office for the term for which he is elected and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation, removal from office or death.

 

Section 8.              Vacancies.  Any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors, including any vacancy created by reason of an increase in the number of directors, may be filled by the affirmative vote of the shareholders entitled to vote.  A director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office only until the next election of directors by the shareholders.

 

Section 9.              Removal of Directors.  At a meeting of shareholders called expressly for that purpose, any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, with or

 

8



 

without cause, by a vote of the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors.

 

Section 10.            Quorum and Voting.  A majority of the number of directors fixed by these Bylaws shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.  The act of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors.

 

Section 11.            Director Conflicts of Interest.  No contract or other transaction between this corporation and one or more of its directors or any other corporation, firm, association or entity in which one or more of the directors are directors or officers or are financially interested, shall be either void or voidable because of such relationship or interest or because such director or directors are present at the meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof which authorizes, approves or ratifies such contract or transaction or because his or their votes are counted for such purpose, if:

 

(a)           The fact of such relationship or interest is disclosed or known to the Board of Directors or committee which authorizes, approves or ratifies the contract or transaction by a vote or consent sufficient for the purpose without counting the votes or consents of such interested directors; or

 

(b)           The fact of such relationship or interest is disclosed or known to the shareholders entitled to vote and they authorize, approve or ratify such contract or transaction by vote or written consent; or

 

(c)           The contract or transaction is fair and reasonable as to the corporation at the time it is authorized by the board, a committee or the shareholders.

 

Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof which authorizes, approves or ratifies such contract or transaction.

 

Section 12.            Executive and Other Committees.  The Board of Directors, by resolution adopted by a majority of the full Board of Directors, may designate from among its

 

9



 

members an executive committee and one or more other committees each of which, to the extent provided in such resolution shall have and may exercise all the authority of the Board of Directors, except that no committee shall have the authority to:

 

(a)           approve or recommend to shareholders actions or proposals required by law to be approved by shareholders;

 

(b)           designate candidates for the office of director, for purposes of proxy solicitation or otherwise;

 

(c)           fill vacancies on the Board of Directors or any committee thereof;

 

(d)           amend the Bylaws;

 

(e)           authorize or approve the reacquisition of shares unless pursuant to a general formula or method specified by the Board of Directors; or

 

(f)            authorize or approve the issuance or sale of, or any contract to issue or sell, shares or designate the terms of a series of a class of shares, except that the Board of Directors, having acted regarding general authorization for the issuance or sale of shares, or any contract therefor, and, in the case of a series, the designation thereof, may, pursuant to a general formula or method specified by the Board of Directors, by resolution or by adoption of a stock option or other plan, authorize a committee to fix the terms of any contract for the sale of the shares and to fix the terms upon which such shares may be issued or sold, including, without limitation, the price, the rate or manner of payment of dividends, provisions for redemption, sinking fund, conversion, voting or preferential rights, and provisions for other features of a class of shares, or a series of a class of shares, with full power in such committee to adopt any final resolution setting forth all the terms thereof and to authorize the statement of the terms of a series for filing with the Department of State.

 

The Board of Directors, by resolution adopted in accordance with this section, may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any such committee, who may act in the place and stead of any absent member or members at any meeting of such committee.

Notice of a meeting of the Board of Directors need not be given to any director who signs a waiver of notice either before or after the meeting.  Attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting and waiver of any and all obligations to the place of the meeting, the time of the meeting, or the manner in which it has been called or convened, except when a director states, at the beginning of the meeting, any objection to the transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

 

Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.

 

A majority of the directors present, whether or not a quorum exists, may adjourn any meeting of the Board of Directors to another time and place.  Notice of any such adjourned meeting shall be given to the directors who were not present at the time of the adjournment and, unless the time and place of the adjourned meeting are announced at the time of the adjournment, to the other directors.

Section 15.            Action Without a Meeting.  Any action required to be taken at a meeting of the directors of a corporation, or any action which may be taken at a meeting of the directors or a committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so to be taken, signed by all of the directors, or all the members of the committee, as the case may be, is filed in the minutes of the proceedings of the board or of the committee.  Such consent shall have the same effect as a unanimous vote.

 

ARTICLE IV

(2)           If a dividend is payable in shares without par value, such shares shall be issued at such stated value as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors by resolution adopted at the time such dividend is declared, and there shall be transferred to stated capital at the time such dividend is paid an amount of surplus equal to the aggregate stated value so fixed in respect of such shares; and the amount per share so transferred to stated capital shall be disclosed to the shareholders receiving such dividend concurrently with the payment thereof.

17

18



 

Section 5.              The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon all shareholders.  The shareholders shall vote their shares as the arbitrator shall direct.

 

Section 6.              To enforce these provisions, the arbitrator may obtain an injunction from a court having jurisdiction to direct the shareholders to vote as the arbitrator has determined.

 

Section 7.              After arbitration and settlement, should matters in controversy continue to arise, the arbitrator shall determine when arbitration shall no longer reasonably resolve the deadlock, dispute or controversy.  Upon the making of such a determination by the arbitrator, the objecting shareholder(s) shall offer for sale, first to the corporation and then to the remaining shareholders stock interest in the corporation upon the terms of sale and methods of valuation of any buy and sell or option-purchase agreement to which the shareholders and the corporation shall then be a party.  Should there be no valid agreement then in effect, the terms of sale and valuation of stock shall be determined by mutual agreement of the parties; however, should they be unable to agree, the terms of sale and valuation of stock shall be determined by the arbitrator.

 

Section 8.              The corporation and the remaining shareholders shall each have sixty (60) days to exercise their option.  Should the corporation or remaining shareholders refuse to exercise their option to purchase the shares of the objecting shareholder(s), the shareholders, upon the written demand of the objecting shareholder, shall unanimously vote to voluntarily dissolve the corporation.  Should a shareholder refuse to vote his stock in this manner, the arbitrator may obtain an injunction from a court with jurisdiction to direct the shareholder to so vote.

(d)                                 The Company may not recognize for any purpose any purported Disposition of all or part of a Membership Interest unless and until the other applicable provisions of this Section 3.03 have been satisfied and the Manager has received, on behalf of the Company, a document (i) executed by both the Member effecting the Disposition (or if the transfer is on account of the death, incapacity, or liquidation of the transferor, its representative) and the Person to which the Membership Interest or part thereof is Disposed, (ii) including the notice address of any Person to be admitted to the Company as a Member and its agreement to be bound by this Agreement in respect of the Membership Interest or part thereof being obtained, (iii) setting forth the Sharing Ratios and the Commitments after the Disposition of the Member effecting the Disposition and the Person to which the Membership Interest or part thereof is Disposed (which together must total the Sharing Ratio and the Commitment of the Member effecting the Disposition before the Disposition), and (iv) containing a representation and warranty that the Disposition was made in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations (including securities laws) and, if the Person to which the Membership Interest or part thereof is Disposed is to be admitted to the Company, its representation and warranty that the representations and warranties in Section 3.02 are true and correct with respect to that Person.  Each Disposition and, if applicable, admission complying with the provisions of this Section 3.03(d) is effective as of the first day of the calendar month immediately succeeding the month in which the Managers receive the notification of Disposition and the other requirements of this Section 3.03 have been met.

(i)            taking such action (including, without limitation, court proceedings) as the Manager may deem appropriate to obtain payment by the Delinquent Member of the portion of the Delinquent Member’s Capital Contribution that is in default, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date that the Capital Contribution was due until the date that it is made, all at the cost and expense of the Delinquent Member;

 

(ii)           permitting the other Members in proportion to their Sharing Ratios or in such other percentages as they may agree (the “Lending Member”, whether one or more), to advance the portion of the Delinquent Member’s Capital Contribution that is in default, with the following results:

 

(A) the sum advanced constitutes a loan from the Lending Member to the Delinquent Member and a Capital Contribution of that sum to the Company by the Delinquent Member pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Agreement,

 

(B) The principal balance of the loan and all accrued unpaid interest thereon is due and payable in whole on the tenth day after written demand therefore by the Lending Member to the Delinquent Member,

 

(C) the amount lent bears interest at the Default Interest Rate from the day that the advance is deemed made until the date that the loan together with all interest accrued on it, is repaid to the Lending Member,

 

(D) all distributions from the Company that otherwise would be made to the Delinquent Member (whether before or after dissolution of the Company) instead shall be paid to the Lending Member until the loan and all interest accrued on it have been paid in full to the Lending Member (with payments being applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and then to principal),

 

(E) the payment of the loan and interest accrued on it is secured by a security interest in the Delinquent Member’s Membership Interest, as more fully set forth in Section 4.03(b), and

 

(F) the Lending Member has the right, in addition to the other rights and remedies granted to it pursuant to this Agreement or available to it at law or in equity, to take any action (including, without limitation, court proceedings) that the Lending Member may deem appropriate to obtain payment by the Delinquent Member of the loan and all accrued and unpaid interest on it, at the cost and expense of the Delinquent Member;

 

(iii)          exercising the rights of a secured party under Chapter 697, Florida Statutes as more fully set forth in Section 4.03(b); or

 

(iv)          exercising any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

11



 

1.704-1(b)(4), including adjustments to reflect the allocations to the Members of depreciation, depletion, amortization, and gain or loss as computed for book purposes rather than the allocation of the corresponding items as computed for tax purposes, as required by Treas.Reg. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g).  A Member that has more than one Membership Interest shall have a single capital account that reflects all its Membership Interests, regardless of the class of Membership Interests owned by that Member and regardless of the time or manner in which those Membership Interests were acquired.  On the transfer of all or part of a Membership Interest or part thereof shall carry over to the transferee Member in accordance with the provisions of Treas.Reg. § 1.704- 1(b)(2)(iv)(l).

11.01                     Bankrupt Members.  This Section 11.01 shall not apply if there exists a binding Members’ Agreement providing for restrictions on the disposition of Membership Interests.  To the extent the provisions of a Members’ Agreement conflict with those herein, the provisions of the Members’ Agreement shall control.  Subject to Section 12.01(c), if any Member becomes a Bankrupt Member, the Company shall have the option, exercisable by notice from the Manager to the Bankrupt Member (or its representative) at any time prior to the 180th day after receipt of notice of the occurrence of the event causing it to become a Bankrupt Member, to buy, and on the exercise of this option the Bankrupt Member or its representative shall sell, its Membership Interest.  The purchase price shall be an amount equal to the fair market value thereof determined by agreement by the Bankrupt member (or its representative) and the Manager; however, if those Persons do not agree on the fair market value on or before the 30th day following the exercise of the option, either such Person, by notice to the other, may require the determination of fair market value to be made by an independent appraiser specified in that notice.  If the Person receiving that notice objects on or before the tenth day following receipt to the independent appraiser designated in that notice, and those Persons otherwise fail to agree on an independent appraiser, either such Person may petition the United States District Judge for the Middle District of Florida, Jacksonville Division then senior in service to designate an independent appraiser.  The determination of the independent appraiser, however designated, is final and binding on all parties.  The Bankrupt Member and the Company each shall pay one-half of the costs of the appraisal.  The purchaser shall pay the fair market value as so determined in four equal cash installments, the first due on closing and the remainder (together with accumulated interest on the amount unpaid at the General Interest Rate) due on each of the first three anniversaries thereof.  The payment to be made to the Bankrupt Member or its representative pursuant to this Section 11.01 is in complete liquidation and satisfaction of all the rights and interest of the Bankrupt Member and its representative (and of all Persons claiming by, through, or under the Bankrupt Member and its representative) in and in respect of the Company, including, without limitation, any Membership Interest, any rights in specific Company property, and any rights

against the Company and (insofar as the affairs of the Company are concerned) against the Members, and constitutes a compromise to which all Members have agreed pursuant to Article 5.02(D) of the Act.

 

ARTICLE XII
DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION, AND TERMINATION

 

12.01                     Dissolution.  The Company shall dissolve and its affairs shall be wound up on the first to occur of the following:

 

(a)                                  the written consent of a Required Interest;

 

(b)                                 the expiration of the period fixed for the duration of the Company set forth in the Articles;

 

(c)                                  entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company under Section 608.441 of the Act.

 

The death, retirement, resignation, expulsion, bankruptcy or dissolution of a Member, or the occurrence of any other event that terminates the continued membership of a Member in the Company, shall not cause a dissolution of the Company.

 

12.02                     Liquidation and Termination.  On dissolution of the Company, the Manager shall act as liquidator or may appoint one or more Members as liquidator.  The liquidator shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and make final distributions as provided herein and in the Act.  The costs of liquidation shall be borne as a Company expense.  Until final distribution, the liquidator shall continue to operate the Company properties with all of the power and authority of the Manager.  The steps to be accomplished by the liquidator are as follows:

 

(a)                                  as promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the liquidator shall cause a proper accounting to be made by a recognized firm of certified public accountants of the Company’s assets, liabilities, and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable;

 

(b)                                 the liquidator shall cause the notice described in Section 608.4421 of the Act to be mailed to each known creditor of and claimant against the Company in the manner described in such Section 608.4421 ;

 

(c)                                  the liquidator shall pay, satisfy or discharge from Company funds all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company (including, without limitation, all expenses incurred in liquidation and any advances described in Section 4.05) or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including, without limitation, the establishment of a cash escrow fund for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidator may reasonably determine); and

 

26



 

(d)                                 all remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed to the Members as follows:

 

(i)                                     the liquidator may sell any or all Company property, including to Members, and any resulting gain or loss from each sale shall be computed and allocated to the capital accounts of the members;

 

(ii)                                  with respect to all Company property that has not been sold, the fair market value of that property shall be determined and the capital accounts of the Members shall be adjusted to reflect the manner in which the unrealized income, gain, loss, and deduction inherent in property that has not been reflected in the capital accounts previously would be allocated among the members if there were a taxable disposition of that property for the fair market value of the property on the date of distribution; and

 

(iii)                               Company property shall be distributed among the Members in accordance with the positive capital account balances of the Members, as determined after taking into account all capital account adjustments for the taxable year of the Company during which the liquidation of the partnership occurs (other than those made by reason of this clause (iii)); and those distributions shall be made by the end of the taxable year of the Company during which the liquidation of the Company occurs (or, if later, 90 days after the date of the liquidation).

 

All distributions in kind to the Members shall be made subject to the liability of each distributee for costs, expenses, and liabilities theretofore incurred or for which the Company has committed prior to the date of termination and those costs, expenses, and liabilities shall be allocated to the distributee pursuant to this Section 12.02.  The distribution of cash and/or property to a Member in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.02 constitutes a complete return to the Member of its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Member of its Membership Interest and all the Company’s property and constitutes a compromise to which all Members have consented within the meaning of Article 5.02(D).  To the extent that a Member returns funds to the Company, it has no claim against any other Member for those funds.

 

12.03                     Deficit Capital Accounts.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, and notwithstanding any custom or rule of law to the contrary, to the extent that the deficit, if any, in the capital account of any Member results from or is attributable to deductions and losses of the Company (including non-cash items such as depreciation), or distributions of money pursuant to this Agreement to all Members in proportion to their respective Sharing Rations, upon dissolution of the Company such deficit shall not be an asset of the Company and such Members shall not be obligated to contribute such amount to the Company to bring the balance of such Member’s capital account to zero.

 

12.04                     Articles of Dissolution.  On completion of the distribution of Company assets as provided herein, the Company is terminated, and the Manager (or such other Person or Persons as the Act may require or permit) shall file Articles of Dissolution with the Department of State of Florida , cancel any other filings made pursuant to Section 2.05, and take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company.  Upon the issuance of a certificate of dissolution by

 

27



 

the Secretary of State of Florida , the existence of the Company shall cease, except as may be otherwise provided by the Act or other applicable Law.

 

ARTICLE XIII
GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

13.01                     Restrictive Covenants.

 

(a)                                  The Members acknowledge that (i) the Company is engaged in a highly competitive business and is therefore entitled to protect itself from any competition that may likely result in the event that a Member, during or following the termination of his or its association with the Company, competes with the business of the Company; (ii) in order to maximize the Company’s success, the Company may disclose to the Members its trade secrets and other proprietary information (the “Proprietary Information”); and (iii) the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section (hereinafter, the “Restrictive Covenants”) are part of the essential consideration for the execution by the Members of this Agreement.  Accordingly, the Members acknowledge that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable and necessary in order to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests.

 

(b)                                 During the term of this Agreement, the Members agree, within the Non-Compete Area (hereinafter defined), not to directly or indirectly, operate, engage in, provide financial assistance to, own any interest in, or otherwise affiliate with any venture or business that is competitive with the business of the Company.  Additionally, the Members shall each cause their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and others similarly associated with the Member to execute such non-competition agreements as the Members deem appropriate for the protection of the Company.  In the event the Company is dissolved or otherwise no longer pursues its purpose as stated in Section 2.04 this restriction shall no longer continue in effect.  If a Member terminates its membership in the Company or is compelled to withdraw from the Company due to the Member’s default, this restriction shall continue in effect for five (5) years from the date of termination or withdrawal.  The “Non-Compete Area” is described in Exhibit B attached hereto.

 

(c)                                  Each Member agrees not to divert or attempt to divert from the Company any business the Company had secured or solicited from its customers, suppliers, referral sources or other entities at any time during the period in which the Member was associated with the Company.

 

(d)                                 Each Member agrees not to hire or solicit the services of any employee or independent contractor of the Company (including employees leased by the Company from a Member) during the period of such Person’s employment with or retention by the Company.

 

(e)                                  The Restrictive Covenants shall be given the broadest lawful and enforceable scope permissible for the protection of the business interests of the Company.  The Members acknowledge that any violation of a Restrictive Covenant by a Member would result in irreparable injury to the Company and the other Member and the remedies at law for such breach would be inadequate.  Therefore, in the event of a breach by a Member of any Restrictive Covenant, the Company shall be entitled to temporary, interlocutory and permanent injunctive relief, in addition and without prejudice to any and all other remedies at law or in equity

 

28



 

available under the circumstances.  The duration of any of the Restrictive Covenants shall be extended by any period in which a Member is in breach thereof.

 

(f)                                    In the event a provision contained in any Restrictive Covenant shall be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or unenforceable in whole or in part, then the offending provision automatically shall be deemed modified to conform to the minimum requirements of law.  The provision as modified, together with all other provisions hereof, shall be given full force and effect.

 

(g)                                 Proprietary Information must be clearly labeled as such.  The Members agree to maintain all Proprietary Information of the Company in strict confidence.  Proprietary Information shall cease to be treated as such at such time as it becomes part of the public domain.  Each Member shall use at least the same degree of care in safeguarding the Proprietary Information as such Member uses in safeguarding his or its own confidential information, but in no event shall such Member exercise less then due diligence and care.

 

13.02                     Offset.  Whenever the Company is to pay any sum to any Member, any amounts that Member owes the Company may be deducted from that sum before payment.

 

13.03                     Use of Name; Publicity.  The Members agree to consult each other and reach mutual agreement before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.  No Member shall use the name or logos of any other Member or such Member’s affiliates without that Member’s prior written consent.

 

13.04                     Notices.  Except as expressly set forth to the contrary in this Agreement, all notices, requests, or consents provided for or permitted to be given under this Agreement must be in writing and must be given either by depositing that writing in the United States mail, addressed to the recipient, postage paid, and registered or certified with return receipt requested or by delivering that writing to the recipient in person, by courier, or by facsimile transmission; and a notice, request, or consent given under this Agreement is effective on receipt by the Person to receive it.  All notices, requests, and consents to be sent to a Member must be sent to or made at the addresses given for that Member on Exhibit A or in the instrument described in Section 3.03(d) or 3.05, or such other address as that Member may specify by notice to the other Members.  Any notice, request, or consent to the Company or the Managers must be given to the Managers at the following address:

Whenever any notice is required to be given by law, the Articles or this Agreement, a written waiver thereof, signed by the Person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.

 

13.05                     Entire Agreement; Supescedure.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Members relating to the Company and supersedes all prior contracts or agreements with respect to the Company, whether oral or written.

 

13.06                     Effect of Waiver or Consent.  A waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of its obligations with respect to the Company is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person with respect to the Company.  Failure on the part of a Person to complain of any act of any Person or to declare any Person in default with respect to the Company, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that Person of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute-of-limitations period has run.

 

13.07                     Amendment or Modification.  This Agreement may be amended or modified from time to time only by a written instrument adopted by the Manager and executed and agreed to by a Required Interest; provided, however, that (a) an amendment or modification reducing a Member’s Sharing Ratio or increasing its Commitment (other than to reflect changes otherwise provided by this Agreement) is effective only with that Member’s consent, (b) an amendment or modification reducing the required Sharing Ratio or other measure for any consent or vote in this Agreement is effective only with the consent or vote of Members having the Sharing Ratio or other measure theretofore required, and (c) amendments of the type described in Section 3.04 may be adopted as therein provided.

 

13.08                     Binding Effect.  Subject to the restrictions on Dispositions set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement are binding on and inure to the benefit of the Members and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns.

 

30



 

13.09                     Governing Law; Severability.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS OF THE MEMBERS HEREUNDER ARE GOVERNED BY AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA, AND ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY SUCH LAWS WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT-OF-LAWS RULES OR PRINCIPLES THAT MIGHT REFER THE GOVERNANCE OR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.  If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of that provision to other Persons or circumstances is not affected thereby and that provision shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.

 

13.10                     Further Assurances.  In connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, each Member shall execute and deliver any additional documents and instruments and perform any additional acts that may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and perform the provisions of this Agreement and those transactions.

 

13.11                     Waiver of Certain Rights.  Each Member irrevocably waives any right it may have to maintain any action for dissolution of the Company or for partition of the property of the Company.

 

13.12                     Indemnification.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Member shall indemnify the Company, each Manager and each other Member and hold them harmless from and against all losses, costs, liabilities, damages, and expenses (including, without limitation, costs of suit and attorneys’ fees) they may incur on account of any breach by that Member of this Agreement.

 

13.13                     Notice to Members of Provisions of this Agreement.  By executing this Agreement, each Member acknowledges that it has actual notice of all of the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the restrictions on the transfer of Membership Interests set forth in Article III.  Each Member hereby agrees that this Agreement constitute adequate notice of all such provisions, including, without limitation, any notice requirement under the FBCA and Chapter 678, Florida Statutes, and each Member hereby waives any requirement that any further notice thereunder by given.

 

13.14                     Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts with same effect as if all signing parties had signed the same document.  All counterparts shall be construed together and constitute the same instrument.

The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or the Notes (a) any pro rata redemptions or repurchases of the Notes by the Company pursuant to this Indenture shall be made in a manner that preserves the authorized denominations of the Notes, and (b) in the case of Global Notes, the selection of Notes to be redeemed or repurchased will be based on a method that most nearly approximates pro rata selection that the Trustee deems fair and appropriate, including by lot or other method.

However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to

Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof.

While any such Default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) will have no further liability for the money.

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08  as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note; however, Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(a) hereof.

 

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

 

If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

 

If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest.

 

Section 2.09             Treasury Notes.

 

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any Guarantor, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned will be so disregarded.

 

Section 2.10           Temporary Notes.

 

Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes, as evidenced by the execution of the Note.

 

The Company shall cause definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of the definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchanged for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Company, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of one or more temporary Notes, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefore a like principal amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the same benefits of this Indenture as holders of definitive Notes.

 

Section 2.11            Cancellation.

 

The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will destroy canceled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act and the Trustee). Certification of the destruction or

 

39



 

cancellation of all canceled Notes will be delivered to the Company upon written request. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. To the extent that any Notes are held in the form of Global Notes and less than all of such Global Notes are to be cancelled, the reduction of the principal amount of any such Global Note and the Registrar’s notation of such cancellation on its books and records shall be deemed to satisfy any cancellation requirement, provided that certification of such cancellation shall be delivered to the Company upon written request.

 

Section 2.12           Defaulted Interest.

 

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Company will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) will mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

 

Section 2.13           CUSIP Numbers.

 

The Company in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP, ISIN or other such numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP, ISIN or other such numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP, ISIN or other numbers.

Section 3.02           Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased.

 

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption or purchased on a pro rata basis; by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem appropriate unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange requirements.

 

In the event of partial redemption or purchase, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased will be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption or purchase date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase.

 

The Trustee will promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in minimum amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase.

 

Section 3.03           Notice of Redemption.

 

Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail (or in the case of Notes held in book entry form, by electronic transmission), a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 12 hereof.

 

The notice will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will state:

 

(1)       the redemption date;

 

(2)       the redemption price;

 

(3)       if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, in the case of Definitive Notes, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued upon cancellation of the original Note;

 

(4)       the name and address of the Paying Agent;

 

(5)       that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

 

(6)       that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

 

(7)       the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and

 

41



 

(8)       that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes.

 

At the Company’s request, the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days (unless a shorter time shall be acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the redemption date, an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

 

Section 3.04           Effect of Notice of Redemption.

 

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may be conditional other than as provided in Section 4.15 hereof.

 

Section 3.05           Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price.

 

One Business Day prior to the redemption or purchase date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.

 

If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase, and so long as the Company does not default in making the payment on the applicable redemption date. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption or purchase is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.

 

Section 3.06           Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part.

 

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Company will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered.

 

Section 3.07           Optional Redemption.

 

(a)           At any time prior to May 15, 2013, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under this Indenture, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 111.750% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the redemption

date with the net cash proceeds of a sale of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company or a contribution to the Company’s common equity capital; provided that:

 

(1)       at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued under this Indenture (excluding Notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and

 

(2)       the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.

 

Except pursuant to this Section 3.07(a), the Notes will not be redeemable at the Company’s option prior to May 15, 2014. The Company is not, however, prohibited under this Indenture from acquiring Notes by means other than a redemption, whether pursuant to open-market transactions, tender offers or otherwise so long as such acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of this Indenture.

 

(b)             On or after May 15, 2014, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on May 15 of the years indicated below, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date:

Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.

 

(c)             Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

 

Section 3.08           Mandatory Redemption.

 

The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

 

Section 3.09           Offer to Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds.

 

In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof, the Company is required to commence an Asset Sale Offer, it will follow the procedures specified below.

 

Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.10(b) will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, the Company will, within five days thereof, make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and any other Indebtedness that is secured on a pari passu basis with the Notes (including all accrued interest on the Indebtedness and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums and Additional Interest, if any, incurred in connection therewith)

 

43



 

that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of the Excess Proceeds. The Asset Sale Offer will remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement and not more than 30 Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than three Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Company will apply all Excess Proceeds to the purchase of Notes and, if applicable, such other pari passu Indebtedness (on a pro rata basis as determined in accordance with Section 4.10) or, if less than the amount of the Excess Proceeds has been tendered, all Notes and, if applicable, other Indebtedness tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased will be made in the same manner as interest payments are made. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase, prepayment or redemption and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu secured Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select the Notes and the Company will select such other pari passu secured Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis, or in the case of the Notes, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate so as the Notes are maintained by a minimum denomination of $2,000 or a multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

 

If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.

 

Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company will send, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders. The notice will contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. The notice, which will govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, will state:

 

(1)               that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.10 hereof and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer will remain open;

 

(2)               the Excess Proceeds amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date;

 

(3)               that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest;

 

(4)               that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date;

 

(5)               that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in a minimum amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof only;

 

(6)               that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, the depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days before the Purchase Date;

 

44



 

(7)               that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Note purchased;

 

(8)               that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and, if applicable, other pari passu Indebtedness surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the Excess Proceeds amount, the Company will select the other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased and the Trustee will select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Trustee so that only Notes in a minimum amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased); and

 

(9)               that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer).

 

The Paying Agent will promptly (but in any case not later than five Business Days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Company, will authenticate and mail or deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on the Purchase Date.

 

Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09 or in Section 4.10 hereof, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.09 or Section 4.10 hereof shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fails to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

 

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designation.

(3)               within five Business Days after the occurrence of each event that would have been required to be reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file this Form, current reports containing substantially all of the information that would be

 

46



 

required to be filed in a Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to Sections 1, 2 and 4 and Items 5.01 and 5.02 (other than compensation information) of Form 8-K if the Company had been a reporting company under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that no such current report will be required to be furnished if the Company determines in its good faith judgment that such event is not material to Holders of the Notes or the business, assets, operations or financial positions of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

 

In addition, following the consummation of the Exchange Offer contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will file a copy of (x) all quarterly and annual reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file such reports and (y) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such reports, in the case of each of (x) and (y) of this paragraph, with the SEC for public availability within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations applicable to such reports (unless the SEC will not accept such filing).

 

(b)             If the Company has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraph will include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Company.

 

(c)             Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the consummation of the Exchange Offer contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, in no event: (A) will the Company be required to comply with Section 302 or Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, related Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC, or Items 301 or 302 of Regulation S-K or Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K (with respect to any non-GAAP financial measures contained therein), in each case, as in effect on the date of this Indenture, or (B) will any reports be required to contain the separate financial information for Guarantors, Subsidiaries whose securities are pledged to secure the Notes or acquired businesses as contemplated by Rule 3-05, Rule 3-09, Rule 3-10, or Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC; provided, however, the Company shall be required to comply with Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X for a “Specified Acquisition.”

(e)             If, at any time after consummation of the Exchange Offer contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is no longer subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Company will nevertheless continue filing the reports specified in clauses (1), (2)and (3) of Section 4.03(a) above with the SEC within the time periods specified above unless the SEC will not accept such a filing. The Company will not take any action for the purpose of causing the SEC not to accept any such filings. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept

 

47



 

the Company’s filings for any reason, the Company will post the reports referred to in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of Section 4.03(a) above on its website within the time periods that would apply if the Company were required to file those reports with the SEC.

The Company and each of the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

(4)               make any Restricted Investment

 

(all such payments and other actions set forth in these clauses (1) through (4) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”),

 

unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:

 

(i)            no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment;

(iii)          such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries since the date of this Indenture

(5)               50% of any dividends received by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company after the date of this Indenture from an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company, to the extent that such dividends were not otherwise included in the Consolidated Net Income of the Company for such period.

(2)               agreements governing other Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Section 4.09 hereof and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the restrictions therein are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees;

(6)               customary non-assignment provisions in contracts and licenses entered into in the ordinary course of business;

 

(7)               purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business and Capital Lease Obligations that impose restrictions on the property purchased or leased of the nature described in Section 4.08(a)(3) hereof;

(10)             Liens permitted to be incurred under the provisions of Section 4.12 hereof that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;

 

(11)             provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements (including agreements entered into in connection with a Restricted Investment) entered into with the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, which limitation is applicable only to the assets that are the subject of such agreements; and

 

(12)             restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business.

(1)               5.5 to 1, if the additional Indebtedness is incurred or the Disqualified Stock or the preferred stock is issued prior to May 15, 2012;

 

(2)               5.25 to 1, if the additional Indebtedness is incurred or the Disqualified Stock or the preferred stock is issued on or after May 15, 2012 but prior to May 15, 2013;

 

(3)               5.0 to 1, if the additional Indebtedness is incurred or the Disqualified Stock or the preferred stock is issued on or after May 15, 2013 but prior to May 15, 2014;

 

(4)               4.75 to 1, if the additional Indebtedness is incurred or the Disqualified Stock or the preferred stock is issued on or after May 15, 2014 but prior to May 15, 2015; and

 

(5)               4.5 to 1, if the additional Indebtedness is incurred or the Disqualified Stock or the preferred stock is issued on or after May 15, 2015;

 

in each case determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Disqualified Stock or the preferred stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.

 

(b)           The provisions of Section 4.09(a) hereof will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”):

 

53



 

(1)               the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness and letters of credit under Credit Facilities in an amount (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed at any one time outstanding the greater of (a) $40.0 million, less the aggregate amount of all Net Proceeds of Asset Sales applied by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the date of the Indenture to repay any term Indebtedness under a Credit Facility or to repay any revolving credit Indebtedness under a Credit Facility and effect a corresponding commitment reduction thereunder pursuant to Section 3.09 and (b) an amount equal to 100% of the Company’s Consolidated Cash Flow for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such Indebtedness is to be incurred, determined on a pro forma basis to give effect to the application of the net proceeds of such Indebtedness as if such transactions had occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period and in a manner consistent with the second paragraph of the definition of “Leverage Ratio”;

 

(2)               the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of Existing Indebtedness;

 

(3)               the incurrence by the Company and the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the Notes and the related Note Guarantees to be issued on the date of this Indenture and the Exchange Notes and the related Note Guarantees to be issued pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement;

 

(4)               the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of design, construction, installation or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in an aggregate amount, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4), not to exceed at any time outstanding the greater of (i)$ 10.0 million and (ii) 3.5% of the Company’s Total Assets;

 

(5)               the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by this Indenture to be incurred under Section 4.09(a) hereof or clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (13) or (14) of this Section 4.09(b);

 

(6)               the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:

 

(A)          if the Company or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the payee is not the Company or a Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the Notes and the Note Guarantees; and

 

(B)           any (i) subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, or (ii) sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a

 

54



 

Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (6);

 

(7)               the issuance by any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries to the Company or to any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that any (a) subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such preferred stock being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, or (b) sale or other transfer of any such preferred stock to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such preferred stock by such Restricted Subsidiary that was not permitted by this clause (7);

 

(8)               the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations in the ordinary course of business;

 

(9)               the guarantee by the Company or any of the Guarantors of Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 4.09; provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to or pari passu with the Notes, then the Guarantee shall be subordinated or pari passu, as applicable, to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed;

 

(10)             the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of workers’ compensation claims, self-insurance obligations, financing of insurance premiums, bankers’ acceptances, performance and surety bonds in the ordinary course of business;

 

(11)             the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently drawn against insufficient funds, so long as such Indebtedness is covered within five Business Days;

 

(12)             Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary consisting of guarantees, indemnities or obligations in respect of purchase price adjustments, earn-outs or similar obligations in connection with the acquisition or disposition of assets or a Subsidiary;

 

(13)             Indebtedness or Disqualified Capital Stock of Persons (other than Indebtedness or Disqualified Capital Stock incurred in anticipation of such acquisition or merger) that are acquired by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or merged into the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; provided that after giving effect to such acquisition either (A) the Company would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Leverage Ratio provisions of this covenant or (B) the Leverage Ratio would be no greater than such Leverage Ratio immediately prior to such acquisition; and

 

(14)             the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (14), not to exceed the sum of (A) $7.5 million and (B) 100.0% of the net cash proceeds received by the Company since the date

 

55



 

of the Indenture from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of the Company or cash contributed to the capital of the Company (in each case, other than proceeds of Disqualified Stock or sales of Equity Interests to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) to the extent that such net cash proceeds or cash have not been and are not applied to make a Restricted Payment or a Permitted Investment, or otherwise to increase the amount available to be applied to make a Restricted Payment or a Permitted Investment, pursuant to Section 4.07 hereof.

 

The Company will not incur, and will not permit any Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the applicable Note Guarantee on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a junior Lien basis.

 

(c)             For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (14) of Section 4.09(b) hereof, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a) hereof, the Company will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09. Indebtedness under Credit Facilities outstanding on the date on which Notes are first issued and authenticated under this Indenture will initially be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by Section 4.09(b)(1) hereof. The accrual of interest or preferred stock dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on preferred stock or Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of preferred stock or Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of preferred stock or Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 4.09. For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be utilized, calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.

 

(d)             The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:

 

(1)             the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;

 

(2)             the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and

 

(3)             in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:

 

(A)          the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and

 

(B)           the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.

 

56



 

Section 4.10             Asset Sales.

 

(a)           The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

 

(1)               the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

 

(2)               at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

 

(A)          any liabilities, as shown on the Company’s most recent consolidated balance sheet of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation or indemnity agreement that releases or indemnifies the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from or against further liability;

 

(B)           any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are contemporaneously, subject to ordinary settlement periods, converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion; and

 

(C)           any stock or assets of the kind referred to in clauses (2) or (4) of Section 4.10(b) hereof.

 

(b)           Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply such Net Proceeds:

 

(1)               to repay Indebtedness and other Obligations under a Credit Facility and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;

 

(2)               to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, the Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;

 

(3)               to make a capital expenditure; or

 

(4)               to acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in a Permitted Business.

 

In the case of clauses (2), (3) and (4) of the preceding paragraph, the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) will be deemed to have complied with its obligations under the preceding paragraphs if it enters into a binding commitment to acquire such assets or Capital Stock or make such capital expenditure prior to 365 days after the receipt of the applicable Net Proceeds; provided that such binding commitment will be subject only to customary conditions and such acquisition or expenditure is completed within 180 days following the expiration of the aforementioned 365-day period.

 

57



 

If the acquisition or expenditure contemplated by such binding commitment is not consummated on or before such 180th day, and the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) has not applied the applicable Net Proceeds for another purpose permitted by the preceding paragraph on or before such 180th day, such commitment shall be deemed not to have been a permitted application of Net Proceeds.

 

(c)           Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary) may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.

 

(d)           Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.10(b) within 365 days of receipt of such Net Proceeds shall be applied pursuant to Section 3.09 hereof.

 

(e)           The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with Section 3.09 hereof or this Section 4.10, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 3.09 hereof or this Section 4.10 by virtue of such compliance.

 

Section 4.11           Transactions with Affiliates.

 

(a)           The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $500,000, unless:

 

(1)               the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

 

(2)               the Company delivers to the Trustee:

 

(A)          with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million, (i) a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section 4.11 and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company or (ii) an opinion as to the fairness to the Company or such Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing ; and

 

(B)           with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to the Company or such Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing.

 

58


 

(b)           The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of Section 4.11(a) hereof:

 

(1)               any employment agreement, employee benefit plan, officer or director indemnification agreement or any similar arrangement entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and payments pursuant thereto;

 

(2)               transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;

 

(3)               transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company) that is an Affiliate of the Company solely because the Company owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person;

 

(4)               payment of reasonable and customary fees and reimbursements of expenses (pursuant to indemnity arrangements or otherwise) of officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

 

(5)               any issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company to Affiliates of the Company;

 

(6)               Permitted Investments and Restricted Payments that do not violate the provisions of Section 4.07;

 

(7)               payment of the amounts specified in, or determined pursuant to, the Management Agreement as in effect on the date of this Indenture;

 

(8)               loans or advances to employees in the ordinary course of business not to exceed $1.0 million in the aggregate at any one time outstanding; and

 

(9)               Permitted Payments to Parent.

 

Section 4.12           Liens.

 

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien securing Indebtedness of any kind on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens.

 

Section 4.13           Business Activities.

 

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses, except to such extent as would not be material to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

 

Section 4.14           Corporate Existence.

 

Subject to Article 5 hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect:

 

(1)           its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents

 

59



 

(as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary; and

 

(2)           the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, if the Company determines that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.

 

Section 4.15           Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control.

 

(a)           Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company will make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date that is on or prior to the applicable date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder and the Trustee describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and stating:

 

(1)           that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.15 and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment;

 

(2)           the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

 

(3)           that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest;

 

(4)           that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date;

 

(5)           that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

 

(6)           that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes purchased; and

 

(7)           that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which

 

60



 

unpurchased portion must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

 

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change in Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.15, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.15 by virtue of such compliance.

 

(b)           On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

 

(1)           accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

 

(2)           deposit by 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

 

(3)           deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company.

 

(c)           The Paying Agent will promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

 

(d)           The provisions described above that require the Company to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable. Except as described in this Section 4.15 with respect to a Change of Control, this Indenture does not contain provisions that permit the Holders of the Notes to require that the Company repurchase or redeem the Notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.

 

(e)           The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption for all of the Notes has been given pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

 

Section 4.16           Payments for Consent.

 

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder of Notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders of the Notes that

 

61



 

consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

 

Section 4.17           Additional Note Guarantees.

 

If the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates another Domestic Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture, then the Company will (1) cause that newly acquired or created Domestic Subsidiary to execute a supplemental indenture and pursuant to which it becomes a Guarantor and (2) deliver an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee, in each case within 10 Business Days of the date on which the Domestic Subsidiary was acquired or created; provided that any Domestic Subsidiary that constitutes an Immaterial Subsidiary need not become a Guarantor until such time as it ceases to be an Immaterial Subsidiary. The form of such Note Guarantee is attached as Exhibit E hereto.

 

Section 4.18           Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

 

(a)             The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as Unrestricted will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 or under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by the Company. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors of the Company may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if that redesignation would not cause a Default.

 

(b)             Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 4.07 hereof. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 4.09 hereof, the Company will be in default of such covenant. The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.09 hereof calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference period; and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.

 

Section 4.19           Impairment of Security Interest

 

Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary will take or omit to take any action which would adversely affect or impair in any material respect the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral, except as otherwise permitted or required by the Collateral Agreements or this Indenture. Neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary will enter into any agreement that requires the proceeds received from any sale of Collateral to be applied to repay, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire any Indebtedness of any Person, other than as permitted by this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements (including the Intercreditor Agreement). The

 

62



 

Company shall, and shall cause each Guarantor to, at each of the Company’s and such Guarantor’s sole cost and expense, execute and deliver all such agreements and instruments and take all further action as the Collateral Agent or the Trustee shall reasonably request to more fully or accurately describe the property intended to be Collateral or the obligations intended to be secured by the Collateral Agreements. The Company shall, and shall cause each Guarantor to, at each of the Company’s and such Guarantor’s sole cost and expense, file any such notice filings or other agreements or instruments as may be reasonably necessary or desirable under applicable law to perfect the Liens created by the Collateral Agreements.

 

Section 4.20           Information Regarding Collateral

 

The Company will furnish to the Collateral Agent, with respect to the Company or any Guarantor, prompt written notice of any change in such Person’s (i) corporate name, (ii) jurisdiction of organization or formation, (iii) identity or corporate structure or (iv) Federal Taxpayer Identification Number. The Company will agree not to effect or permit any change referred to in the preceding sentence unless all filings have been made under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise that are required in order for the Collateral Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected security interest in all of the Collateral. The Company also agrees to promptly notify the Collateral Agent in writing if any material portion of the Collateral is damaged or destroyed.

 

Each year, at the time of the delivery of the annual financial statements with respect to the preceding fiscal year, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate of the financial officer setting forth the information required pursuant to the perfection certificate required by the Indenture or confirming that there has been no change in such information since the date of the previously delivered perfection certificate.

 

Section 4.21           Landlord Waivers

 

The Company and any Domestic Subsidiary that is a lessee of, or becomes a lessee of, real property, is, and will be, required to use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the Collateral Agent a landlord waiver executed by the lessor of such real property; provided that if such lease is in existence on the date of the Indenture, the Company and each such Domestic Subsidiary that is the lessee thereunder shall have 90 days from the date of the Indenture to satisfy such requirement. The Trustee shall have no obligation to determine whether the Company has used commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such landlord waivers within the 90 day period and in the absence of notice from Holders to the contrary may conclude that if particular landlord waivers are not delivered within such period that the Company has nevertheless fulfilled its obligations under this covenant.

 

Section 4.22           Further Assurances

 

The Company and the Guarantors shall execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all further action that may be required under applicable law, or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect the validity and priority of the security interests created or intended to be created by the Collateral Agreements in the Collateral. In addition, from time to time, the Company will reasonably promptly secure the obligations under the Indenture and the Collateral Agreements by pledging or creating, or causing to be pledged or created, perfected security interests with respect to the Collateral. The Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent all such instruments and documents (including legal opinions, title insurance policies and lien searches) as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request to evidence compliance with this covenant.

 

63



 

Section 4.23           Post-Closing Matters

 

The Company and the Guarantors acknowledges and agrees that the documents and deliverables set forth in Exhibit G will be provided by the party responsible therefor in the manner set forth in such Exhibit on or prior to the due date specified in such Exhibit.

ARTICLE 6
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

 

Section 6.01            Events of Default.

 

Each of the following is an “Event of Default”:

 

(1)           default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes;

 

(2)           default in the payment when due (at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise) of the principal or premium on the Notes;

 

(3)           failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with the provisions of Sections 3.09, 4.07, 4.09, 4.10, 4.15, 4.22, 4.23 and 5.01 hereof;

 

(4)           failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 60 days after notice to the Company by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class to comply with any of the other agreements in this Indenture;

 

(5)           default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of this Indenture, if that default:

 

(A)          is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium on, such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”); or

 

(B)           results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity,

 

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $5.0 million or more;

 

(6)           failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final judgments entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction aggregating in excess of $10.0 million, which judgments remain unpaid or are not discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days;

 

(7)           except as permitted by this Indenture, any Note Guarantee is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee;

 

65



 

(8)           any Collateral Agreement at any time for any reason shall cease to be in full force and effect in all material respects, or ceases to give the Collateral Agent the Liens, rights, powers and privileges purported to be created thereby, superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons other than the holders of Permitted Liens and subject to no other Liens except as expressly permitted by the applicable Collateral Agreement or this Indenture; or the Company or any of the Guarantors, directly or indirectly, contest in any manner the effectiveness, validity, binding nature or enforceability of any Collateral Agreement; or

 

(9)           the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law:

 

(A)            commences a voluntary case,

 

(B)            consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,

 

(C)            consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property,

 

(D)            makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or

 

(E)             generally is not paying its debts as they become due; and

 

(10)         a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

 

(A)            is for relief against the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case;

 

(B)            appoints a custodian of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; or

 

(C)            orders the liquidation of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary;

 

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days.

 

In the case of any Event of Default occurring by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the Company with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Company would have had to pay if the Company then had elected to redeem the Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of this Indenture, an equivalent premium will also become and be immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the Notes. If an Event of Default occurs prior to May 15, 2014 by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not

 

66



 

taken) by or on behalf of the Company with the intention of avoiding the prohibition on redemption of the notes prior to that date, then an additional premium specified in Section 4.01 hereof will also become and be immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the Notes.

 

The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a written statement regarding compliance with this Indenture. Upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, the Company is required to deliver to the Trustee a written statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

 

The rights of the Trustee and any Holder to exercise any remedies with respect to an Event of Default may be limited by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

 

Section 6.02           Acceleration.

 

(a)          In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (9) or (10) of Section 6.01, with respect to the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately.

 

(b)         Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from holders of the notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, premium or interest (including Additional Interest, if any).

 

Section 6.03            Other Remedies.

 

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of, or premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest on, the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

 

Section 6.04         Waiver of Past Defaults.

 

Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind an acceleration, waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

67



 

Section 6.05            Control by Majority.

 

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee and Collateral Agent, as applicable, or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or the Collateral Agreements, that the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, in personal liability. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee and Collateral Agent, as applicable, which is not inconsistent with such direction.

 

Section 6.06           Limitation on Suits.

 

Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) when due in accordance with Section 6.07 hereof, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

 

(1)          such Holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

 

(2)          Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

 

(3)          such Holders have offered the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense;

 

(4)          the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

 

(5)          Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

 

A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note.

 

Section 6.07         Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder; provided that a Holder shall not have the right to institute any such suit for the enforcement of payment if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment therein would, under applicable law, result in the surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of this Indenture upon any property subject to such Lien.

 

68


 

Section 6.08                                Collection Suit by Trustee.

 

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for the principal of, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest on overdue principal and premium and, to the extent lawful, interest and Additional Interest, if any, and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

 

If the Company fails to pay such amount forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceedings to the judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated.

 

Section 6.09                                Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

 

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and Collateral Agent and its respective agents and counsel (or their respective agents and counsel if the Trustee and Collateral Agent are different Persons), and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof and the Collateral Agent under Section 10.11 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and Collateral Agent, its agents and counsel (or their respective agents and counsel if the Trustee and Collateral Agent are different Persons), and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof or the Collateral Agent under Section 10.11 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

 

Section 6.10                                Priorities.

 

Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, if the Trustee collects any money or other property pursuant to this Article 6, including pursuant to the Collateral Agreements, it shall pay out the money or other property in the following order:

 

First:                   to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, and their respective agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 and Section 10.11 hereof, including payment of all

Second:     to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest, respectively; and

 

Third:               any surplus remaining after the payment in full in cash of all the Obligations under the Notes shall be paid to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

Section 6.11                                Undertaking for Costs.

 

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant.

TRUSTEE

 

Section 7.01                                Duties of Trustee.

 

(a)                                  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

 

(b)                                 Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

 

(1)               the duties of the Trustee will be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

 

70



 

(2)               in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee will examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the form requirements of this Indenture.

 

(c)                                  The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

 

(1)               this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01;

 

(2)               the Trustee will not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

 

(3)               the Trustee will not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05.

 

(d)                                 Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to this Section 7.01.

 

(e)                                  No provision of this Indenture will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

 

(f)                                    The Trustee will not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

 

Section 7.02                                Rights of Trustee.

 

(a)                                  The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its reasonable discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it reasonably may see fit, and if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney, and shall have reasonable access to the premises of the Company during normal business hours in connection with such examination in a manner not to disrupt the normal business operations of the Company.

 

(b)                                 Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel will be full and complete authorization

 

71



 

and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

 

(c)                                  The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and will not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care.

 

(d)                                 The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture.

 

(e)                                  Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company will be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company.

 

(f)                                    In no event shall the Trustee be liable to any Person for special, punitive, indirect, consequential or incidental loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage.

 

(g)                                 The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any Holders of Notes unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against the losses, liabilities and expenses that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

 

(h)                                 The permissive right of the Trustee to take any action under this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty to so act.

 

Section 7.03                                Individual Rights of Trustee.

 

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as Trustee (if this Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act) or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

 

Section 7.04                                Trustee’s Disclaimer.

 

The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it will not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication, and it assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

 

Section 7.05                                Notice of Defaults.

 

(a)                                  If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee will mail to Holders of Notes a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs (or promptly after discovery if the Trustee does not learn of such Event of Default more than 90 days after it occurred), unless such Default or Event of Default shall have been cured or waived. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, any Note, the Trustee shall be

 

72



 

protected in withholding the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes.

 

(b)                                 The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest (including Additional Interest, if any) or premium, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes) unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or shall have received written notice thereof at its address set forth in Section 13.02 hereof from the Company or any Guarantor or Holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes specifying the occurrence and nature thereof and stating that such notice is a notice of default.

 

Section 7.06                                Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes.

 

(a)                                  Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with May 15, 2011, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee will mail to the Holders of the Notes a report dated as of such reporting date, in accordance with, and to the extent required by, § 313 of the TIA.

 

(b)                                 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Notes will be filed by the Trustee with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA § 313(d). The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange.

 

Section 7.07                                Compensation and Indemnity.

 

(a)                                  The Company will pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation as shall be agreed to in writing by the Company and the Trustee for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder (it being hereby agreed that the compensation set forth in the fee letter between the Company and the Trustee is reasonable). The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company will reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

 

(b)                                 The Company and the Guarantors will, jointly and severally, indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder and in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties (if any) under the Collateral Agreements, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith. The Trustee will notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Company or such Guarantor will defend the claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

 

(c)                                  The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors to the Trustee under this Section 7.07 shall survive the resignation, removal or replacement of the Trustee to

 

73



 

the extent that the Trustee incurred fees, reimbursable expense or indemnifiable losses, liabilities or expenses while acting as trustee hereunder before such resignation, removal or replacement.

 

(d)                                 To secure the Company’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07 and Section 10.11 hereof, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent will have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation, removal or replacement of the Trustee or Collateral Agent.

 

(e)                                  When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(9) or (10) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

 

(f)                                    The Trustee will comply with the provisions of TIA§313(b)(2).

 

Section 7.08                                Replacement of Trustee.

 

(a)                                  A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08 and the Company’s receipt of written notice from the successor Trustee of such appointment.

 

(b)                                 The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if:

 

(1)               the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof;

 

(2)               the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

 

(3)               a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall have been appointed, or a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation; or

 

(4)               the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

 

(c)                                  If the Trustee resigns, is removed or becomes incapable of acting, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company will promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

 

(d)                                 If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

 

74



 

(e)                                  If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

 

(f)                                    A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee, without any further act, deed, or conveyance, will have all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture; but, on request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof. The Company will give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to Holders of the Notes. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. The retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

 

Section 7.09                                Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

 

Any entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such entity shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, to the extent operative, without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In the case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes.

 

Section 7.10                                Eligibility; Disqualification.

 

(a)                                  There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is an entity organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $25.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. If at any time the Trustee ceases to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.10, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Article.

 

(b)                                 This Indenture will always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee shall comply with the terms of TIA § 310(b).

 

Section 7.11                                Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

 

The Trustee is subject to TIA § 311, excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b).

Section 8.01                                Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

 

The Company may at any time, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

 

Section 8.02                                Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) of this Section 8.02, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

 

(1)                                  the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof;

 

(2)                                  the obligations with respect to the notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;

 

(3)                                  the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent hereunder and the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and

 

(4)                                  this Article 8.

 

Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof.

 

Section 8.03                                Covenant Defeasance.

 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 3.094.034.054.074.084.094.104.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17 and 4.18 and clause (4) of Section 5.01 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of

 

76



 

Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Company and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(3) through 6.01(8) hereof will not constitute Events of Default.

 

Section 8.04                                Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

 

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof:

(2)                                  in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that:

 

(A)                              the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or

 

(B)                                since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law,

 

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

 

(3)                                  in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

 

(4)                                  no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to

 

77


 

be applied to such deposit and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound;

 

(5)           such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture to which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is bound;

 

(6)           the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Company or others; and

 

(7)           the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

 

If the Company exercises Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, any Liens securing the Notes that were created pursuant to this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements will be released.

 

Section 8.05           Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

 

Subject to Section 8.06, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 in respect of the outstanding Notes will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

 

The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.

 

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

 

Section 8.06           Repayment to Company.

 

Subject to applicable abandoned property laws, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to

 

78



 

the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

 

Section 8.07           Reinstatement.

 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Note Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amendment or supplement, and upon receipt by the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, of the documents described in Sections 7.02 and 9.06 hereof, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, will join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of any amendment or supplement authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, will not be obligated to enter into such amendment or supplement that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

 

Section 9.02           With Consent of Holders of Notes.

 

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof), the Notes, the Note Guarantees and the Collateral Agreements (including, with respect to the Intercreditor Agreement and the New Revolving Credit Facility with the consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent), with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, the Notes, except a payment default resulting solely from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Collateral Agreements may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes).

 

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amendment or supplement, and upon the filing with the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, of evidence of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, of the documents described in Sections 7.02 and 9.06 hereof, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, will join with the Company in the execution of such amendment or supplement unless such amendment or supplement affects the Trustee’s or the Collateral Agent’s, as the case may be, own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amendment or supplement.

 

80



 

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

 

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company will mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment or supplement or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Collateral Agreements. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Note held by a non-consenting Holder):

 

(1)           reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

 

(2)           reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes (except as provided above with respect to Sections 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof);

 

(3)           reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any Note;

 

(4)           waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest (including Additional Interest) or premium, if any, on, the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

 

(5)           make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;

 

(6)           make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of, or interest (including Additional Interest) or premium, if any, on, the Notes;

 

(7)           waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by Sections 3.09, 4.10 or 4.15 hereof);

 

(8)           release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or

 

(9)           make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment to, or waiver of, the provisions of this Indenture or any Collateral Agreement that has the effect of releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens securing the Notes will require the consent of the Holders of at least 662/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

 

81



 

 

Section 9.03           Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

 

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes will be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

 

Section 9.04           Revocation and Effect of Consents.

 

(a)           Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. Subject to Section 9.04(b) hereof, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

 

(b)           The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture, other than the delivery of instructions by Holders to the Trustee or Collateral Agent. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the first paragraph of this Section 9.04, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall become valid or effective more than 120 days after such record date.

 

Section 9.05           Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

 

The Company may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

 

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

 

Section 9.06           Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

 

The Trustee and the Collateral Agent, if applicable, will sign any amendment or supplement authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable. The Company may not sign an amendment or supplement until the Board of Directors of the Company approves it. In executing any amendment or supplement, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.04 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements (if applicable).

Section 10.01         Grant of Security Interest.

 

(a)           To secure the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest on the Notes and amounts due hereunder and under the Note Guarantees when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether on an interest payment date, by acceleration, purchase, repurchase, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest (to the extent permitted by law), if any, on the Notes and the performance of all other Obligations of the Company and the Guarantors to the Holders, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee under this Indenture, the Collateral Agreements, the Note Guarantees and the Notes, the Company and the Guarantors hereby covenant to cause the Collateral Agreements to be executed and delivered concurrently with this Indenture. The Collateral Agreements shall provide for the grant by the Company and Guarantors party thereto to the Collateral Agent of security interests in the Collateral.

 

(b)           Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Note, (i) appoints the Collateral Agent to act as its agent under this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements (and by its signature below, the Collateral Agent accepts such appointment), (ii) authorizes the Collateral Agent to enter into the Collateral Agreements to which it is a party, to take such action on its behalf and in the Collateral Agent’s designated capacity under the provisions of this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements, and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights expressly designated to it hereunder and thereunder in accordance therewith, and (iii) consents and agrees to the terms of each Collateral Agreement, as the same may be in effect or may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with their respective terms. Each Holder agrees that any action taken by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements, and the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies set forth herein and therein, together with all other powers reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all Holders. The duties of the Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Collateral Agent shall not have a trust relationship with any Holder, obligor or any other Person by reason of this Indenture, or any of the Collateral Agreements.

 

(c)           The Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements to which the Collateral Agent is a party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture, or the Collateral Agreements or otherwise exist on the part of the Collateral Agent. The conferral upon the Collateral Agent of any right shall not imply a duty on the Collateral Agent’s part to exercise such right.

 

(d)           The Collateral Agent may perform its duties under this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements to which the Collateral Agent is a party by or through receivers, agents, attorneys-in-fact and employees. The Collateral Agent may consult with and employ legal counsel, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in taking action in reliance upon any advice or opinion given by legal counsel.

 

(e)           The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, certification, statement, notice or other communication, document or conversation (including those by telephone or e-mail) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and upon the advice and

 

83



 

statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Company or any obligor). The Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document. The Collateral Agent shall have no liability for failing or refusing to take any action under this Indenture or the Collateral Agreements unless it shall first receive such advice, direction, instruction or concurrence as is required hereunder; and the Collateral Agent has the right to seek instructions before acting or electing not to act under this Indenture or the Collateral Agreements. The Collateral Agent shall in all cases have no liability in acting, or refraining from acting, under this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements in accordance with a direction or instruction from the Company or Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, as applicable, and such direction or instruction and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Holders.

 

(f)            The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent has received written notice from the Company, the Trustee or the Holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes specifying the occurrence and nature thereof and stating that such notice is a notice of default.

 

(g)           The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with this Indenture or any Collateral Agreement or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein, except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final, nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Collateral Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Company or any obligor of any obligations under this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to the Holders or any other Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any Collateral Agreements or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture or any Collateral Agreement; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Collateral Agreement; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, enforceability, sufficiency, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any Obligations; the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any obligor; or for any failure of any obligor to perform its Obligations under this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to any Holder or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any obligor of any terms of this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in this Indenture and any Collateral Agreements. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection or other proceeding under this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements unless expressly set forth hereunder or thereunder. The Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions from the Holders with respect to the administration of the Collateral Agreements. In no event shall the Collateral Agent be liable to any Person, under this Indenture or the Collateral Agreements, for special, punitive, indirect, consequential or incidental loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Collateral Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage.

 

(h)           No provision of this Indenture or the Collateral Agreements shall require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers unless the Collateral Agent shall have received indemnity satisfactory to the Collateral Agent against potential costs and liabilities incurred by the Collateral Agent relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary

 

84


 

contained in this Indenture or any of the Collateral Agreements, in the event the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any such other action if the Collateral Agent has determined that the Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as the result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances unless the Collateral Agent has received security or indemnity from the Holders in an amount and in a form all satisfactory to the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, protecting the Collateral Agent from all such liability. The Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described above if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Company or the Holders to be sufficient.

 

(i)            The parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that the Collateral Agent shall not assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or property damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law as a result of this Indenture, the Collateral Agreements or any actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Further, the parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that in the exercise of its rights under this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements, the Collateral Agent may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral and that any such actions taken by the Collateral Agent shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral, as those terms are defined in Section 101(20)(E) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 9601 et seq., as amended.

 

(j)            Notwithstanding the fact that the following assets may secure First Lien Obligations,

 

(1)           The Equity Interests of the Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that are owned by the Company or any Guarantor will constitute Collateral only to the extent that such Equity Interests can secure Notes without Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act (“Rule 3-10” and “Rule 3-16,” respectively) (or any other law, rule or regulation) requiring separate financial statements of such Restricted Subsidiary to be filed with the SEC (or any other governmental agency);

 

(2)           In the event that either Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16 requires or is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC to require (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, which would require) the filing with the SEC (or any other governmental agency) of separate financial statements of any Restricted Subsidiary due to the fact that such Restricted Subsidiary’s Equity Interests secure the Notes or any Guarantee, then the Equity Interests of such Restricted Subsidiary shall automatically be deemed not to be part of the Collateral, but only to the extent necessary to not be subject to such requirement (and, in such event, the Collateral Documents may be amended or modified, without the consent of any Holder of the Notes, to the extent necessary to release the second-prior security interests on the shares of Equity Interests that are so deemed to no longer constitute part of the Collateral); and

 

(3)           In the event that either Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16 is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC to permit (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, that would permit) such Restricted Subsidiary’s Equity Interests to secure the Notes in excess of the amount then pledged without the filing with the

 

85



 

SEC (or any other governmental agency) of separate financial statements of such Restricted Subsidiary, then the Equity Interests of such Restricted Subsidiary shall automatically be deemed to be part of the Collateral but only to the extent necessary to not be subject to any such financial statement requirement (and, in such event, the Collateral Documents may be amended or modified, without the consent of any Holder of the Notes, to the extent necessary to subject to the Liens under the Collateral Document such additional Equity Interests).

 

Section 10.02         Recording and Opinions.

 

(a)           The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, at its sole cost and expense, take or cause to be taken such actions as may be required by the Collateral Agreements, to perfect, maintain (with the priority required under the Collateral Agreements), preserve and protect the valid and enforceable, perfected (except as expressly provided herein or therein) security interests in and on all the Collateral granted by the Collateral Agreements in favor of the Collateral Agent as security for the Obligations contained in this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees and the Collateral Agreements, superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons (other than as set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement and other Permitted Liens), and subject to no other Liens other than Permitted Liens, including without limitation, (i) the filing of financing statements, continuation statements, collateral assignments and any instruments of further assurance, in such manner and in such places as may be required by law to preserve and protect fully the rights of the Holders, the Collateral Agent, and the Trustee under this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements to all property comprising the Collateral, and (ii) subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the delivery of the certificates evidencing the securities pledged under the Collateral Agreements, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by undated stock powers or other instruments of transfer executed in blank, it being understood that concurrently with the execution of this Indenture the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries have delivered financing statements for filing by the Initial Purchaser or their agents. The Company shall from time to time promptly pay all financing and continuation statement recording and/or filing fees, charges and recording and similar taxes relating to this Indenture, the Collateral Agreements and any amendments hereto or thereto and any other instruments of further assurance required pursuant hereto or thereto.

 

(b)           The Company shall furnish to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent (if other than the Trustee), on or within one month of May 15 of each year, commencing May 15, 2011, an Opinion of Counsel in compliance with TIA § 314(b).

 

Section 10.03         Release of Collateral.

 

(a)           Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not at any time release the Collateral from the security interests created by the Collateral Agreements unless such release is expressly in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the applicable Collateral Agreements.

 

(b)           Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the maturity of the Notes has been accelerated (whether by declaration or otherwise), no release of the Collateral pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture or the Collateral Agreements shall be effective as against the Holders, the Collateral Agent or the Trustee.

 

(c)           The release of any Collateral from the terms of the Collateral Agreements shall not be deemed to impair the security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof if and to the extent the Collateral is released pursuant to this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements. To the extent applicable, the Company shall cause § 313(b), relating to reports, and § 314(d) of the TIA relating to the release of property (other than the release of current assets in the ordinary course of business) from the security interests created by this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements to be complied with; provided,

 

86



 

that any certificate or opinion required by §314(d) of the TIA may be made solely by an Officer of the Company.

 

Section 10.04         Specified Releases of Collateral.

 

Collateral may be released from the Lien and security interest created by the Collateral Agreements at any time or from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Agreements or as provided in this Indenture. Upon the written request of the Company, the Company and the Guarantors will be entitled to releases of assets included in the Collateral from the Liens securing the Obligations under the Notes and the Note Guarantees, and the Collateral Agent shall release the same from such Liens, under any one or more of the following circumstances:

 

(1)           if any Subsidiary that is a Guarantor is released from its Note Guarantee pursuant to the terms hereof, such Subsidiary’s assets will also be released from the Liens securing the Notes and the Note Guarantees;

 

(2)           if any assets are sold, leased, conveyed, disposed of or otherwise transferred pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, such assets will be released from the Liens securing the Notes and the Note Guarantees;

(4)           as described under Section 10.05 hereof.

 

Upon the request of the Company pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent hereunder and under the Collateral Agreements have been met, and any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release prepared by the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, the Collateral Agent, without the consent of any Holder or the Trustee and at the expense of the Company or the Guarantors, shall execute, deliver or acknowledge such instruments or releases to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture, the Collateral Agreements.

Section 10.08         Authorization of Actions to be Taken by the Collateral Agent Under the Collateral Agreements

 

(a)           Subject to the provisions of the applicable Collateral Agreements, each Holder, by acceptance of the Notes, agrees that the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver the Collateral Agreements to which it is a party and all agreements, documents and instruments incidental thereto, and act in accordance with the terms thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall have no discretion under this Indenture or the Collateral Agreements and shall not be required to make or give any determination, consent, approval, request or direction without the written direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, the Trustee or the Company, as applicable.

 

(b)           Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Company may direct the Collateral Agent in connection with any action required or permitted by this Indenture or the Collateral Agreements.

The Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any Action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. If the Collateral Agent shall request direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes with respect to any Action, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such Action unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, and the Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or any Collateral Agreement, in no event shall the Collateral Agent be responsible for, or have any duty or obligation with respect to, the recording, filing, registering, perfection, protection or maintenance of the security interests or Liens intended to be created by this Indenture or the Collateral Agreements (including without limitation the filing or continuation of any UCC financing or continuation statements or similar documents or instruments), nor shall the Collateral Agent be responsible for, and the Collateral Agent makes no representation regarding, the validity, effectiveness or priority of any of the Collateral Agreements or the security interests or Liens intended to be created thereby.

The Company will reimburse the Collateral Agent promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Collateral Agent’s agents and counsel.

 

(b)           The Company and the Guarantors will, jointly and severally, indemnify the Collateral Agent against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements, including (i) any claim relating to the grant to the Collateral Agent of any Lien in any property or assets of the Company or the Guarantors and (ii) the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Agreements against the Company and the Guarantors (including this Section 10.11) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder or thereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its gross negligence or bad faith. The Collateral Agent will notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Collateral Agent to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company or any of the Guarantors of their

ARTICLE 11

 

NOTE GUARANTEES

 

Section 11.01         Guarantee.

 

(a)           Subject to this Article 11, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that:

 

(1)           the principal of, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest on, the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, subject to the applicable grace periods, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other Obligations of the Company to the Holders, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

 

(2)           in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other Obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, subject to applicable grace periods, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

 

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

 

90



 

(b)           The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

 

(c)           If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.

 

(d)           Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee.

 

Section 11.02         Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

 

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 11, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

 

Section 11.03         Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee.

 

To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E hereto will be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture will be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers.

 

91



 

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.

 

If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee will be valid nevertheless.

 

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.

 

In the event that the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries creates or acquires any Domestic Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture, if required by Section 4.17 hereof, the Company will cause such Domestic Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.17 hereof and this Article 11, to the extent applicable.

 

Section 11.04         Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

 

Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.05 hereof, no Guarantor (other than a Guarantor whose Note Guarantee is to be released in accordance with Section 11.05 hereof) may sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless:

 

(1)           immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

 

(2)           either:

 

(A)          the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under its Note Guarantee, this Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Collateral Agreements pursuant to a supplemental indenture and appropriate Collateral Agreements; or

 

(B)           the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture or as otherwise required by the Intercreditor Agreement.

 

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person will succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

 

92



 

Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, and notwithstanding Section 11.04(2)(a) and 11.04(2)(b) hereof, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes will prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or will prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.

 

Section 11.05         Releases.

 

(a)           The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released, without the consent of any Holder:

 

(1)           in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.10 hereof;

 

(2)           in connection with any sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.10 hereof;

 

(3)           if the Company designates that Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 4.18 hereof;

 

(4)           upon a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance in accordance with Article 8 or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 12; or

 

(5)           as provided by the Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(b)           At the Company’s written direction and expense, in the event that a Note Guarantee of a Guarantor shall be released in accordance with this Section 11.05, the Trustee will execute and deliver an instrument acknowledging such release in accordance with the terms of this Indenture (in a form prepared by the Company).

 

(c)           Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided in this Section 11.05 will remain liable for the full amount of principal of and premium and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes and for the other Obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 11.

 

ARTICLE 12

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

 

Section 12.01         Satisfaction and Discharge.

 

This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, when:

 

(1)            either:

 

(A)          all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been

 

93



 

deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

 

(B)           all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest (including Additional Interest, if any) to the date of maturity or redemption;

 

(2)           no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound (other than with respect to the borrowing of funds to be applied concurrently to make the deposit required to effect such satisfaction and discharge any similar concurrent deposit relating to other indebtedness, and in each case the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings);

 

(3)           the Company or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and

 

(4)           the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be.

 

In addition, the Company must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section 12.01, the provisions of Sections 12.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 12.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 and 10.11 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

 

Section 12.02         Application of Trust Money.

 

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and premium and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 12.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or

 

94


 

judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

113/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2017

 

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

 

(1)       INTEREST. OnCure Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay or cause to be paid interest on the principal amount of this Note at 113/4% per annum from                 , 20     until maturity and shall pay the Additional Interest, if any, payable pursuant to Section 4 of the Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. The Company will pay interest and Additional Interest, if any, semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be November 15, 2010. The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Additional Interest, if any, (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

 

(2)       METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) and Additional Interest, if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the May 1 or November 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest and Additional Interest, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium and Additional Interest, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

 

(3)       PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Wilmington Trust FSB, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

 

(4)       INDENTURE AND COLLATERAL AGREEMENTS. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of May 13, 2010 (the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent. The terms of the Notes include those stated

 



 

in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are senior secured obligations of the Company. The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under the Notes and the Note Guarantees are secured by Liens on the Collateral pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Agreements. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder.

 

(5)           OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

 

(i) At any time prior to May 15, 2013, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 111.750% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the redemption date with the net cash proceeds of an Equity Offering by the Company; provided that:

 

(i)            at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued under the Indenture (excluding Notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and

 

(ii)           the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.

 

(ii) On or after May 15, 2014, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to the applicable date of redemption, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on May 15 of the years indicated below, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant regular record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date that is on or prior to the applicable date of redemption:

105.875

%

2015

 

102.938

2016 and thereafter

 

100.000

%

 

Except pursuant to paragraph 5(a), the Notes are not redeemable at the Company’s option prior to May 15, 2014. The Company is not, however, prohibited under the Indenture from acquiring the Notes by means other than a redemption, whether pursuant to open-market transactions, tender offers or otherwise so long as such acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of the Indenture. Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.

 

(6)            MANDATORY REDEMPTION.

 

The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

 



 

(7)           REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER.

 

(i)       If there is a Change of Control, the Company will be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, thereon to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date that is on or prior to the applicable date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.

 

(ii)      If the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company consummates any Asset Sales, within five Business Days of each date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, the Company will make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to (1) all Holders of Notes, and (2) unless such Asset Sale involves a sale of Collateral other than Collateral that is subject to a Permitted Lien, at the option of the Company, all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes and contains provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets, in each case to purchase, prepay or redeem the maximum principal amount of Notes and, if applicable, such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price with respect to the Notes in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of purchase, prepayment or redemption, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant regular record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date that is on or prior to the applicable date of repurchase, prepayment or redemption, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture (including, without limitation, the repayment of Indebtedness and other Obligations under a Credit Facility, whether or not secured by a first priority Lien on the assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale). If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and, if applicable, other pari passu Indebtedness tendered in (or required to be prepaid or redeemed in connection with) such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Company will select the other pari passu Indebtedness to be repurchased, prepaid or redeemed on a pro rata basis, and the Trustee will select the Notes to be repurchased, prepaid or redeemed on a pro rata basis or by lot or by other method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate, in each case based on the amounts tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Company prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes.

 

(8)           NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction or discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 and 12. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased.

 



 

(9)           DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

 

(10)         PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. Only registered Holders have rights under the Indenture.

 

(11)         AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Collateral Agreements and, with the consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent under the New Revolving Credit Facility, the Intercreditor Agreement may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and any existing Default or Event or Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, the Notes, except a payment defaulting resulting solely from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees or, the Collateral Agreements, may be amended or supplemented (i) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; (ii) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; (iii) to provide for the assumption of the Company’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to Holders of Notes and Note Guarantees in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s or such Guarantor’s assets, as applicable; (iv) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder; (v) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA; (vi) to conform the text of the Indenture, the Note Guarantees, the Collateral Agreements or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum to the extent that such provision was intended by the Company to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, the Note Guarantees, the Collateral Agreements or the Notes, which intent shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate to that effect; (vii) to enter into additional or supplemental Collateral Agreements; (viii) to release Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Collateral Agreements; (ix) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture as of the date of the Indenture; or (x) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes.

 



 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment to, or waiver of, the provisions of the Indenture or any Collateral Agreement that has the effect of releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens securing the Notes will require the consent of the Holders of at least 662/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

 

(12)         DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. Events of Default include: (i) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes; (ii) default in the payment when due (at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise) of the principal of, or premium on, the Notes; (iii) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with the provisions of Sections 3.09, 4.07, 4.09, 4.10, 4.15, and 5.01 of the Indenture; (iv) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 60 days after notice to the Company by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class to comply with any of the other agreements in the Indenture; (v) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of the Indenture, if that default (A) is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”) or (B) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity, and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $5.0 million or more; (vi) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final judgments entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction aggregating in excess of $10.0 million, which judgments are remain unpaid or are not discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days; (vii) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Note Guarantee is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee; (viii) any Collateral Agreement at any time for any reason shall cease to be in full force and effect in all material respects, or ceases to give the Collateral Agent the Liens, rights, powers and privileges purported to be created thereby, superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons other than the holders of Permitted Liens and subject to no other Liens except as expressly permitted by the applicable Collateral Agreement or the Indenture; or the Company or any of the Guarantors, directly or indirectly, contest in any manner the effectiveness, validity, binding nature or enforceability of any Collateral Agreement; and (ix) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary.

 

If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest or premium or Additional Interest, if

 



 

any) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium or Additional Interest, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required, upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

 

(13)         TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH THE COMPANY. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

 

(14)         NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any of the Guarantors, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

 

(15)         AUTHENTICATION. This Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

 

(16)         ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

 

(17)         [ADDITIONAL RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF RESTRICTED GLOBAL NOTES AND RESTRICTED DEFINITIVE NOTES. In addition to the rights provided to Holders of Notes under the Indenture, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes originally issued on the date of the Indenture will have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of May 13, 2010, among the Company, the Guarantors and Jefferies & Company, Inc., as Initial Purchaser, in the case of Additional Notes (if any), Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes will have the rights set forth in one or more registration rights agreements, if any, among the Company, the Guarantors and the other parties thereto, relating to rights given by the Company and the Guarantors to the purchasers of any Additional Notes (collectively, the “Registration Rights Agreement”).

Upon such Exchange Offer, the Holders of Notes shall have the right, subject to compliance with securities laws, to exchange such Notes for Exchange Notes in like principal amount and having terms identical in all material respects to the Initial Notes and/or Additional Notes, if any; provided, that the form of the Exchange Notes shall include such variations as are permitted or required by the Registration Rights Agreement. The Holders of Notes shall be entitled to receive Additional Interest in the event such Exchange Offer is not consummated pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement. ]

 



 

(18)         CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes, and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

 

(19)         GOVERNING LAW. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WILL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THE INDENTURE, THIS NOTE AND THE NOTE GUARANTEES WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of May 13, 2010, providing for the issuance of 113/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the “Notes”);

 

WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Note Guarantee”); and

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:

 

1.             CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

 

2.             AGREEMENT TO GUARANTEE. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees to provide an unconditional Guarantee on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Note Guarantee and in the Indenture including but not limited to Article 11 thereof.

Each Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

2.                                       Exchange Offer

 

(a)                                  Unless the Exchange Offer would not be permitted by applicable laws or a policy of the SEC, the Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) use commercially reasonable efforts (i) to prepare and file with the SEC promptly after the date hereof, but in no event later than the Filing Date, a registration statement (the “Exchange Registration Statement”) on an appropriate form under the Securities Act with respect to an offer (the “Exchange Offer”) to the Holders of Notes to issue and deliver to such Holders, in exchange for the Notes, a like principal amount of Exchange Notes, (ii) to cause the Exchange Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof, but in no event later than the Effectiveness Date; provided, however, that without the consent of the Initial Purchaser, the Exchange Offer shall not be consummated prior to the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, (iii) to keep the Exchange Registration Statement effective until the consummation of the Exchange Offer in accordance with its terms, and (iv) to commence the Exchange Offer and use its best efforts to issue on or prior to 30 days after the date on which the Exchange Registration Statement is declared effective, Exchange Notes in exchange for all Notes tendered prior thereto in the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than that the Exchange Offer does not violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC.

 

(b)                                 The Exchange Notes shall be issued under, and entitled to the benefits of, (i) the Indenture or a trust indenture that is identical to the Indenture (other than such changes as are necessary to comply with any requirements of the SEC to effect or maintain the qualifications thereof under the TIA) and (ii) the Collateral Agreements.

 

(c)                                  Interest on the Exchange Notes and Private Exchange Notes will accrue from the last interest payment due date on which interest was paid on the Notes surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no interest has been paid on the Notes, from the date of original issue of the Notes. Each Exchange Note and Private Exchange Note shall bear interest at the rate set forth thereon; provided, that interest with respect to the period prior to the

 



 

issuance thereof shall accrue at the rate or rates borne by the Notes from time to time during such period.

 

(d)                                 The Company may require each Holder as a condition to participation in the Exchange Offer to represent (i) that any Exchange Notes received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business, (ii) that at the time of the commencement and consummation of the Exchange Offer such Holder has not entered into any arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Notes in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act, (iii) that if such Holder is an “affiliate” of the either of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 of the Securities Act, it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable to it, (iv) if such Holder is not a broker-dealer, that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, the distribution of the Notes and (v) if such Holder is a Participating Broker-Dealer, that it will deliver a Prospectus in connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes.

 

(e)                                  The Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) include within the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Registration Statement a section entitled “Plan of Distribution” reasonably acceptable to the Initial Purchaser which shall contain a summary statement of the positions taken or policies made by the staff of the SEC with respect to the potential “underwriter” status of any broker-dealer that is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of Exchange Notes received by such broker-dealer in the Exchange Offer for its own account in exchange for Notes that were acquired by it as a result of market-making or other trading activity (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”), whether such positions or policies have been publicly disseminated by the staff of the SEC or such positions or policies, in the judgment of the Initial Purchaser, represent the prevailing views of the staff of the SEC. Such “Plan of Distribution” section shall also allow, to the extent permitted by applicable policies and regulations of the SEC, the use of the Prospectus by all Persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, including, to the extent so permitted, all Participating Broker-Dealers, and include a statement describing the manner in which Participating Broker-Dealers may resell the Exchange Notes. The Company shall use its best efforts to keep the Exchange Registration Statement effective and to amend and supplement the Prospectus contained therein, in order to permit such Prospectus to be lawfully delivered by all Persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act for such period of time as such Persons must comply with such requirements in order to resell the Exchange Notes (the “Applicable Period”).

 

(f)                                    If, upon consummation of the Exchange Offer, the Initial Purchaser holds any Notes acquired by it and having the status of an unsold allotment in the initial distribution, the Company (upon the written request from the Initial Purchaser) shall, simultaneously with the delivery of the Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer, issue and deliver to the Initial Purchaser, in exchange (the “Private Exchange”) for the Notes held by the Initial Purchaser, a like principal amount of Senior Secured Notes that are identical to the Exchange Notes except for the existence of restrictions on transfer thereof under the Securities Act and securities laws of the several states of the United States (the “Private Exchange Notes”) (and which are issued pursuant to the same indenture as the Exchange Notes). The Private Exchange Notes shall bear the same CUSIP number as the Exchange Notes.

 



 

(g)                                 In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to):

 

(i)                                     mail to each Holder a copy of the Prospectus forming part of the Exchange Registration Statement, together with an appropriate letter of transmittal that is an exhibit to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, and any related documents;

 

(ii)                                  keep the Exchange Offer open for not less than 30 days after the date notice thereof is mailed to the Holders (or longer if required by applicable law)

 

(iii)                               utilize the services of a depository for the Exchange Offer with an address in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, which may be the Trustee or an affiliate thereof;

 

(iv)                              permit Holders to withdraw tendered Registrable Notes at any time prior to the close of business, New York time, on the last Business Day on which the Exchange Offer shall remain open; and

 

(v)                                 otherwise comply in all material respects with all applicable laws.

 

(h)                                 As soon as practicable after the close of the Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange, as the case may be, the Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to):

 

(i)                                     accept for exchange all Registrable Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange, as the case may be, and not validly withdrawn;

 

(ii)                                  deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all Registrable Notes so accepted for exchange; and

 

(iii)                               cause the Trustee to authenticate and deliver promptly to each Holder tendering such Registrable Notes, Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, equal in principal amount to the Notes of such Holder so accepted for exchange.

 

(i)                                     The Exchange Notes and the Private Exchange Notes may be issued under (i) the Indenture or (ii) an indenture identical to the Indenture (other than such changes as are necessary to comply with any requirements of the SEC to effect or maintain the qualification thereof under the TIA), which in either event will provide that the Exchange Notes will not be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture, that the Private Exchange Notes will be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture, and that the Exchange Notes, the Private Exchange Notes and the Notes, if any, will be deemed one class of security (subject to the provisions of the Indenture) and entitled to participate in all the security granted by the Company pursuant to the Collateral Agreements and in any Subsidiary Guarantee (as such terms are defined in the Indenture) on an equal and ratable basis.

 

(j)                                     If: (i) prior to the consummation of the Exchange Offer, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Registrable Notes determines in its or their reasonable

 



 

judgment that (A) the Exchange Notes would not, upon receipt, be tradeable by the Holders thereof without restriction under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and without material restrictions under applicable Blue Sky or state securities laws, or (B) the interests of the Holders under this Agreement, taken as a whole, would be materially adversely affected by the consummation of the Exchange Offer; (ii) applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC would not permit the consummation of the Exchange Offer prior to the Effectiveness Date; (iii) subsequent to the consummation of the Private Exchange, any Holder of Private Exchange Notes so requests; (iv) the Exchange Offer is not consummated within 360 days of the Closing Date for any reason; or (v) in the case of (A) any Holder not permitted by applicable law or SEC policy to participate in the Exchange Offer, (B) any Holder participating in the Exchange Offer that receives Exchange Notes that may not be sold without restriction under state and federal securities laws (other than due solely to the status of such Holder as an affiliate of the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act) or (C) any broker-dealer that holds Notes acquired directly from the Company or any of its affiliates and, in each such case contemplated by this clause (v), such Holder notifies the Company within six months of consummation of the Exchange Offer, then the Company shall promptly (and in any event within five Business Days) deliver to the Holders (or in the case of an occurrence of any event described in clause (v) of this Section 2(i), to any such Holder) and the Trustee notice thereof (the “Shelf Notice”) and shall as promptly as possible thereafter file an Initial Shelf Registration pursuant to Section 3.

 

3.                                       Shelf Registration

 

If a Shelf Notice is delivered pursuant to Section 2(j), then this Section 3 shall apply to all Registrable Notes. Otherwise, upon consummation of the Exchange Offer in accordance with Section 2, the provisions of Section 3 shall apply solely with respect to (i) Notes held by any Holder thereof not permitted to participate in the Exchange Offer, (ii) Notes held by any broker-dealer that acquired such Notes directly from the Company or any of its affiliates and (iii) Exchange Notes that are not freely tradeable as contemplated by Section 2(j)(v) hereof, provided in each case that the relevant Holder has duly notified the Company within six months of the Exchange Offer as required by Section 2(j)(v).

 

(a)                                  Initial Shelf Registration. The Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) use its commercially reasonable efforts to, as promptly as practicable, file with the SEC a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the Registrable Notes (the “Initial Shelf Registration”). If the Company (and any Guarantor) has not yet filed an Exchange Registration Statement, the Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) file with the SEC the Initial Shelf Registration on or prior to the Filing Date and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Initial Shelf Registration to be declared effective under the Securities Act on or prior to the Effectiveness Date. Otherwise, the Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) use its best efforts to file with the SEC the Initial Shelf Registration within 30 days of the delivery of the Shelf Notice and shall use its best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable thereafter (but in no event more than 90 days after delivery of the Shelf Notice). The Initial Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-1 or another appropriate form permitting registration of such Registrable Notes for resale by Holders in the manner or manners reasonably designated by them (including, without limitation, one or more underwritten offerings). The Company and Guarantors shall not permit any securities other than the Registrable Notes to be included in any Shelf Registration. The Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) use its best efforts to keep the Initial

 



 

Shelf Registration continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date which is two years from the Closing Date (subject to extension pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 6(w) (the “Effectiveness Period”), or such shorter period ending when (i) all Registrable Notes covered by the Initial Shelf Registration have been sold in the manner set forth and as contemplated in the Initial Shelf Registration (ii) a Subsequent Shelf Registration covering all of the Registrable Notes covered by and not sold under the Initial Shelf Registration or an earlier Subsequent Shelf Registration has been declared effective under the Securities Act or (iii) there cease to be any outstanding Registrable Notes.

 

(b)                                 Subsequent Shelf Registrations. If the Initial Shelf Registration or any Subsequent Shelf Registration (as defined below) ceases to be effective for any reason at any time during the Effectiveness Period (other than because of the sale of all of the securities registered thereunder), the Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) use its best efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness thereof, and in any event shall within 30 days of such cessation of effectiveness amend such Shelf Registration in a manner to obtain the withdrawal of the order suspending the effectiveness thereof, or file (and cause each Guarantor to file) an additional “shelf” Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the Registrable Notes (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration”). If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, the Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Subsequent Shelf Registration to be declared effective as soon as practicable after such filing and to keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration continuously effective for a period equal to the number of days in the Effectiveness Period less the aggregate number of days during which the Initial Shelf Registration or any Subsequent Shelf Registration was previously continuously effective. As used herein the term “Shelf Registration” means the Initial Shelf Registration and any Subsequent Shelf Registrations

 

(c)                                  Supplements and Amendments. The Company shall promptly supplement and amend any Shelf Registration if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used for such Shelf Registration, if required by the Securities Act, or if reasonably requested in writing by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes covered by such Shelf Registration or by any underwriter of such Registrable Notes.

 

(d)                                 Provision of Information. No Holder of Registrable Notes shall be entitled to include any of its Registrable Notes in any Shelf Registration pursuant to this Agreement unless such Holder furnishes to the Company and the Trustee in writing, within 20 days after receipt of a written request therefor, such information as the Company and the Trustee after conferring with counsel with regard to information relating to Holders that would be required by the SEC to be included in such Shelf Registration or Prospectus included therein, may reasonably request for inclusion in any Shelf Registration or Prospectus included therein, and no such Holder shall be entitled to Additional Interest pursuant to Section 4 hereof unless and until such Holder shall have provided such information.

 

4.                                       Additional Interest

 

(a)                                  The Company and each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the Holders of Registrable Notes will suffer damages if the Company or any Guarantor fails to fulfill its material obligations under Section 2 or Section 3 hereof and that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, the Company and

 



 

the Guarantors agree to pay additional cash interest on the Notes (“Additional Interest”) under the circumstances and to the extent set forth below (each of which shall be given independent effect):

 

(i)                                     if neither the Exchange Registration Statement nor the Initial Shelf Registration has been filed on or prior to the Filing Date, Additional Interest shall accrue on the Notes over and above any stated interest at a rate of 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of such Notes for the first 90 days immediately following the Filing Date, such Additional Interest rate increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum at the beginning of each subsequent 90-day period;

 

(ii)                                  if neither the Exchange Registration Statement nor the Initial Shelf Registration is declared effective on or prior to the Effectiveness Date, Additional Interest shall accrue on the Notes over and above any stated interest at a rate of 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of such Notes for the first 90 days immediately following the Effectiveness Date, such Additional Interest rate increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum at the beginning of each subsequent 90-day period;

 

(iii)                               if (A) the Company (and any Guarantor) has not exchanged Exchange Notes for all Notes validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer on or prior to the 30 Business Days after the Effectiveness Date, (B) the Exchange Registration Statement ceases to be effective at any time prior to the time that the Exchange Offer is consummated, (C) if applicable, a Shelf Registration has been declared effective and such Shelf Registration ceases to be effective at any time prior to the second anniversary of its effective date (other than such time as all Notes have been disposed of thereunder) and is not declared effective again within 30 days, or (D) pending the announcement of a material corporate transaction or development, the Company issues a written notice pursuant to Section 6(e)(v) or (vi) that a Shelf Registration Statement or Exchange Registration Statement is unusable and the aggregate number of days in any 365-day period for which all such notices issued or required to be issued, have been, or were required to be, in effect exceeds 120 days in the aggregate or 30 days consecutively, in the case of a Shelf Registration statement, or 15 days in the aggregate in the case of an Exchange Registration Statement, then Additional Interest shall accrue on the Notes, over and above any stated interest, at a rate of 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of such Notes commencing on (w) the 31st Business Day after the Effectiveness Date, in the case of (A) above, or (x) the date the Exchange Registration Statement ceases to be effective without being declared effective again within 30 days, in the case of clause (B) above, or (y) the day such Shelf Registration ceases to be effective in the case of (C) above, or (z) the day the Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf Registration ceases to be usable in case of clause (D) above, such Additional Interest rate increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum at the beginning of each such subsequent 90-day period;

 

provided, however, that the maximum Additional Interest rate on the Notes may not exceed at any one time in the aggregate 1.00% per annum; and provided further, that (1) upon the filing of the Exchange Registration Statement or Initial Shelf Registration (in the case of (i) above), (2) upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Registration Statement or Initial Shelf Registration (in the case of (ii) above), or (3) upon the exchange of

 



 

Exchange Notes for all Notes tendered (in the case of (iii)(A) above), or upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Registration Statement that had ceased to remain effective (in the case of clause (iii)(B) above), or upon the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration which had ceased to remain effective (in the case of (iii)(C) above), Additional Interest on the Notes as a result of such clause (or the relevant subclause thereof) or upon the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or Exchange Registration Statement (in the case of clause (iii)(D) above), as the case may be, shall cease to accrue.

 

(b)                                 The Company shall notify the Trustee within 5 Business Days after each and every date on which an event occurs in respect of which Additional Interest is required to be paid (an “Event Date”). Any amounts of Additional Interest due pursuant to clause (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (a)(iii) of this Section 4 will be payable in cash, on the dates and in the manner provided in the Indenture and whether or not any cash interest would then be payable on such date, commencing with the first such semi-annual date occurring after any such Additional Interest commences to accrue. The amount of Additional Interest will be determined by multiplying the applicable Additional Interest rate by the principal amount of the Notes, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days such Additional Interest rate was applicable during such period (determined on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and, in the case of a partial month, the actual number of days elapsed), and the denominator of which is 360.

 

5.                                       [Reserved].

 

6.                                       Registration Procedures

 

In connection with the filing of any Registration Statement pursuant to Sections 2 or 3 hereof, the Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) effect such registrations to permit the sale of such securities covered thereby in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto and in connection with any Registration Statement filed by the Company hereunder, the Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

 

(a)                                  Prepare and file with the SEC as soon as practicable after the date hereof but in any event on or prior to the Filing Date, the Exchange Registration Statement or if the Exchange Registration Statement is not filed because of the circumstances contemplated by Section 2(j), a Shelf Registration as prescribed by Section 3, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective as provided herein; provided that, if (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 or (2) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period relating thereto, before filing any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto the Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to), if requested, furnish to and afford the Holders of the Registrable Notes to be registered pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement, each Participating Broker-Dealer, the managing underwriters, if any, and each of their respective counsel, a reasonable opportunity to review copies of all such documents (including copies of any documents to be incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits thereto) proposed to be filed (in each case at least 5 Business Days prior to such filing). The Company and each Guarantor shall not file any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto in respect of which the Holders must provide information for the inclusion therein without the Holders being afforded an opportunity to

 


 

review such documentation if the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes covered by such Registration Statement, or any such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, the managing underwriters, if any, or any of their respective counsel shall reasonably object in writing on a timely basis. A Holder shall be deemed to have reasonably objected to such filing if such Registration Statement, amendment, Prospectus or supplement, as applicable, as proposed to be filed, contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or fails to comply with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act.

 

(b)                                 Provide an indenture trustee for the Registrable Notes, the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, and cause the Indenture (or other indenture relating to the Registrable Notes) to be qualified under the TIA not later than the effective date of the first Registration Statement; and in connection therewith, to effect such changes to such indenture as may be required for such indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the TIA; and execute, and use its best efforts to cause such trustee to execute, all documents as may be required to effect such changes, and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the SEC to enable such indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner.

 

(c)                                  Prepare and file with the SEC such pre-effective amendments and post-effective amendments to each Shelf Registration or Exchange Registration Statement, as the case may be, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective for the Effectiveness Period or the Applicable Period, as the case may be; cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any Prospectus supplement required by applicable law, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) promulgated under the Securities Act; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act applicable to them with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented and with respect to the subsequent resale of any securities being sold by a Participating Broker-Dealer covered by any such Prospectus. The Company and each Guarantor shall not, during the Applicable Period, voluntarily take any action that would result in selling Holders of the Registrable Notes covered by a Registration Statement or Participating Broker-Dealers seeking to sell Exchange Notes not being able to sell such Registrable Notes or such Exchange Notes during that period, unless such action is required by applicable law, rule or regulation or permitted by this Agreement.

 

(d)                                 Furnish to such selling Holders and Participating Broker-Dealers who so request in writing (i) upon the Company’s receipt, a copy of the order of the SEC declaring such Registration Statement and any post effective amendment thereto effective, (ii) such reasonable number of copies of such Registration Statement and of each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including any documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits), (iii) such reasonable number of copies of the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus) and each amendment and supplement thereto, and such reasonable number of copies of the final Prospectus as filed by the Company and each Guarantor pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and each amendment and supplement thereto, and (iv) such other documents (including any amendments required to be filed pursuant to clause (c) of this Section), as any such Person may reasonably request in writing. The Company and the Guarantors hereby

 



 

consent to the use of the Prospectus by each of the selling Holders of Registrable Notes or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, and the underwriters or agents, if any, and dealers, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Notes covered by, or the sale by Participating Broker-Dealers of the Exchange Notes pursuant to, such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.

 

(e)                                  If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3, or (2) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period relating thereto, the Company shall notify in writing the selling Holders of Registrable Notes, or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, the managing underwriters, if any, and each of their respective counsel promptly (but in any event within 3 Business Days) (i) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective (including in such notice a written statement that any Holder may, upon request, obtain, without charge, one conformed copy of such Registration Statement or post-effective amendment including financial statements and schedules, documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference and exhibits), (ii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any Prospectus or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iii) if at any time when a Prospectus is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with sales of the Registrable Notes the representations and warranties of the Company and any Guarantor contained in any agreement (including any underwriting agreement) contemplated by Section 6(n) hereof cease to be true and correct, (iv) of the receipt by the Company or any Guarantor of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of a Registration Statement or any of the Registrable Notes or the Exchange Notes to be sold by any Participating Broker-Dealer for offer or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the happening of any event, the existence of any condition of any information becoming known that makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in, or amendments or supplements to, such Registration Statement, Prospectus or documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (vi) of any reasonable determination by the Company or any Guarantor that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate and (vii) of any request by the SEC for amendments to the Registration Statement or supplements to the Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto.

(l)                                     Cause the Registrable Notes covered by a Registration Statement to be rated with such appropriate rating agencies, if so requested in writing by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes covered by such Registration Statement or the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any.

(n)                                 If a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3, enter into such agreements (including an underwriting agreement in form, scope and substance as is customary in underwritten offerings of debt securities similar to the Notes, as may be appropriate in the circumstances) and take all such other actions in connection therewith (including those reasonably requested in writing by the managing underwriters, if any, or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes being sold) in order to expedite or facilitate the registration or the disposition of such Registrable Notes, and in such connection, whether or not an underwriting agreement is entered into and whether or not the registration is an Underwritten Registration, (i) make such representations and warranties to the Holders and the underwriters, if any, with respect to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries as then conducted, and the Registration Statement, Prospectus and documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by

 



 

issuers to underwriters in underwritten offerings of debt securities similar to the Notes, as may be appropriate in the circumstances, and confirm the same if and when reasonably required; (ii) obtain an opinion of counsel to the Company and the Guarantors and updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriters, if any, and the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes being sold), addressed to each selling Holder and each of the underwriters, if any, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions of counsel to the Company and the Guarantors requested in underwritten offerings of debt securities similar to the Notes, as may be appropriate in the circumstances; (iii) obtain “cold comfort” letters and updates thereof (which letters and updates (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriters) from the independent certified public accountants of the Company and the Guarantors (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any subsidiary of the Company or of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included in the Registration Statement), addressed to each of the underwriters, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “cold comfort” letters in connection with underwritten offerings of debt securities similar to the Notes, as may be appropriate in the circumstances, and such other matters as reasonably requested in writing by the underwriters; and (iv) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested in writing by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes being sold and the managing underwriters, if any, to evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties of the Company and its subsidiaries made pursuant to clause (i) above and to evidence compliance with any conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other similar agreement entered into by the Company or any Guarantor.

 

(o)                                 If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3, or (2) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period, make available for inspection by any selling Holder of such Registrable Notes being sold, or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, any underwriter participating in any such disposition of Registrable Notes, if any, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such selling Holder or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), at the offices where normally kept, during reasonable business hours, all financial and other records and pertinent corporate documents of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Records”) as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise any applicable due diligence responsibilities, and cause the officers, directors and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to supply all information reasonably requested in writing by any such Inspector in connection with such Registration Statement. Each Inspector shall agree in writing that it will keep the Records confidential and not disclose any of the Records unless (i) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in such Registration Statement, (ii) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction, (iii) the information in such Records is public or has been made generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure or failure to safeguard by such Inspector or (iv) disclosure of such information is, in the reasonable written opinion of counsel for any Inspector, necessary or advisable in connection with any action, claim, suit or proceeding, directly or indirectly, involving or potentially involving such Inspector and arising out of,

 



 

based upon, related to, or involving this Agreement, or any transaction contemplated hereby or arising hereunder. Each selling Holder of such Registrable Notes and each such Participating Broker-Dealer will be required to agree that information obtained by it as a result of such inspections shall be deemed confidential and shall not be used by it as the basis for any market transactions in the securities of the Company unless and until such is made generally available to the public. Each Inspector, each selling Holder of such Registrable Notes and each such Participating Broker-Dealer will be required to further agree that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and, to the extent practicable, use its best efforts to allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential at its expense.

 

(p)                                 Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and make generally available to the security holders of the Company with regard to any Applicable Registration Statement earning statements satisfying the provisions of section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any similar rule promulgated under the Securities Act) no later than 45 days after the end of any 12-month period (or 90 days after the end of any 12-month period if such period is a fiscal year) (i) commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Registrable Notes are sold to underwriters in a firm commitment or best efforts underwritten offering and (ii) if not sold to underwriters in such an offering, commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter of the Company after the effective date of a Registration Statement, which statements shall cover said 12-month periods.

 

(q)                                 Upon consummation of an Exchange Offer or Private Exchange, obtain an opinion of counsel to the Company and the Guarantors (in form, scope and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Initial Purchaser), addressed to the Trustee for the benefit of all Holders participating in the Exchange Offer or Private Exchange, as the case may be, to the effect that (i) the Company and the Guarantors have duly authorized, executed and delivered the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, and the Indenture, (ii) the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, and the Indenture constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company and the Guarantors, enforceable against the Company and the Guarantors in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforcement may be subject to customary United States and foreign exceptions and (iii) all obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, and the Indenture are secured by Liens (as defined in the Indenture) on the assets securing the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under the Notes, Indenture and Collateral Agreements to the extent and as discussed in the Registration Statement.

 

(r)                                    If the Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange is to be consummated, upon delivery of the Registrable Notes by the Holders to the Company and the Guarantors (or to such other Person as directed by the Company and the Guarantors) in exchange for the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, the Company and the Guarantors shall mark, or caused to be marked, on such Registrable Notes that the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, are being issued as substitute evidence of the indebtedness originally evidenced by the Registrable Notes; provided that in no event shall such Registrable Notes be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied.

 



 

(s)                                  Cooperate with each seller of Registrable Notes covered by any Registration Statement and each underwriter, if any, participating in the disposition of such Registrable Notes and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA.

 

(t)                                    Use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange, if any, on which similar debt securities issued by the Company are then listed.

 

(u)                                 Use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps reasonably necessary to effect the registration of the Registrable Notes covered by a Registration Statement contemplated hereby.

 

(v)                                 The Company may require each seller of Registrable Notes or Participating Broker-Dealer as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to the Company such information regarding such seller or Participating Broker-Dealer and the distribution of such Registrable Notes as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably request in writing. The Company may exclude from such registration the Registrable Notes of any seller who fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time (which time in no event shall exceed 45 days, subject to Section 3(d)) hereof) after receiving such request. Each seller of Registrable Notes or Participating Broker-Dealer as to which any registration is being effected agrees to furnish promptly to the Company all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished by such seller not materially misleading.

 

(w)                               Each Holder of Registrable Notes and each Participating Broker-Dealer agrees by acquisition of such Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes to be sold by such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 6(e)(ii), 6(e)(iv), 6(e)(v), or 6(e)(vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Notes covered by a Registration Statement and such Participating Broker-Dealer will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Exchange Notes pursuant to any Prospectus and, in each case, forthwith discontinue dissemination of such Prospectus until such Holder’s or Participating Broker-Dealer’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(k), or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company and the Guarantors that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any amendments or supplements thereto and, if so directed by the Company and the Guarantors, such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, will deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s or Participating Broker-Dealer’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Notes current at the time of the receipt of such notice. In the event the Company and the Guarantors shall give any such notice, the Applicable Period shall be extended by the number of days during such periods from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when each Participating Broker-Dealer shall have received (x) the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(k) or (y) the Advice.

 

7.                                       Registration Expenses

 

(a)                                  All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company and the Guarantors shall be borne by the Company and the Guarantors,

The Company and the Guarantors shall reimburse the Holders for fees and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Holders) relating to any enforcement of any rights of the Holders under this Agreement.

 



 

8.                                       Indemnification

 

(a)                                  Indemnification by the Company and the Guarantors. Each of the Company and the Guarantors jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Registrable Notes, Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes and each Participating Broker-Dealer selling Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period, each Person, if any, who controls each such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors and partners of each such Holder, Participating Broker-Dealer and controlling person, to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees as provided in this Section 8) and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending against any of the foregoing) (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, directly or indirectly caused by, related to, based upon, arising out of or in connection with any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any preliminary prospectus, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as such Losses are solely based upon information relating to such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer and furnished in writing to the Company and the Guarantors by such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer or their counsel expressly for use therein. The Company and the Guarantors also agree to indemnify underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, their officers, directors, agents and employees and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of Section 5 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders or the Participating Broker-Dealer.

 

(b)                                 Indemnification by Holder. In connection with any Registration Statement, Prospectus or form of prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus in which a Holder is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company and the Guarantors in writing such information as the Company and the Guarantors reasonably request for use in connection with any Registration Statement, Prospectus or form of prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Guarantors, their respective officers, directors, partners and each Person, if any, who controls the Company and the Guarantors (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers and partners of such controlling persons, to the fullest extent lawful, from and against all Losses, as incurred, directly or indirectly caused by, related to, arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such Losses have resulted solely from an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact contained in or omitted from any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company and the Guarantors expressly for use therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall

 



 

the liability of any selling Holder be greater in amount than such Holder’s Maximum Contribution Amount (as defined below).

 

(c)                                  Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the party or parties from which such indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party” or “Indemnifying Parties”, as applicable) in writing; but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party (i) will not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and only to the extent it is materially prejudiced as a result thereof and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligations to any Indemnified Party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) above.

 

The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to an Indemnified Party, within 20 Business Days after receipt of written notice from such Indemnified Party of such proceeding, to assume, at its expense, the defense of any such proceeding; provided, that an Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses; or (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such proceeding or shall have failed to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; or (3) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party or any of its affiliates or controlling persons, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are in addition to, or in conflict with, those defenses available to the Indemnifying Party or such affiliate or controlling person (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Parties in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties, the Indemnifying Parties shall not have the right to assume the defense and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party; it being understood, however, that, the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for such Indemnified Party).

 

No Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement of any such proceeding effected without its written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with its written consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such proceeding, each Indemnifying Party jointly and severally agrees, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth above, to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment. The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement unless such judgment or settlement (i) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to each Indemnified Party of a release, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, from all liability in respect of such proceeding for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto) and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

 

(d)                                 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold such Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses in respect of which this Section 8 would otherwise apply by its terms (other than by reason of exceptions provided in this Section 8), then each applicable Indemnifying

 


 

Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall have a joint and several obligation to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent any such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any proceeding, to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) was available to such party.

 

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), a selling Holder shall not be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of such Holder’s Maximum Contribution Amount. A selling Holder’s “Maximum Contribution Amount” shall equal the excess of (i) the aggregate proceeds received by such Holder pursuant to the sale of such Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes over (ii) the aggregate amount of damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(d) are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of the Registrable Securities held by each Holder hereunder and not joint. The Company’s and Guarantors’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(d) are joint and several.

 

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 8 are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

(a)                                  The Company covenants that it shall (a) file the reports required to be filed by it (if so required) under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at any time the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the written request of any Holder of Registrable Notes, make publicly available other information necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 and 144A and (b) take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request in writing, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Notes without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to the exemptions provided by Rule 144 and Rule 144A. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such information and requirements.

 

(b)                                 Availability of Rule 144 Not Excuse for Obligations under Section 2. The fact that holders of Registrable Notes may become eligible to sell such Registrable Notes pursuant to Rule 144 shall not (1) cause such Notes to cease to be Registrable Notes or (2) excuse

 



 

the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement, including without limitation the obligations in respect of an Exchange Offer, Shelf Registration and Additional Interest.

 

10.                                 Underwritten Registrations of Registrable Notes

 

If any of the Registrable Notes covered by any Shelf Registration are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will manage the offering will be selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Registrable Notes included in such offering; provided, however, that such investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers must be reasonably acceptable to the Company.

 

No Holder of Registrable Notes may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder’s Registrable Notes on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

 

11.                                 Miscellaneous

 

(a)                                  Remedies. In the event of a breach by either the Company or any of the Guarantors of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein, in the Indenture or, in the case of the Initial Purchaser, in the Purchase Agreement, or granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and the Guarantors agree that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by either the Company or any of the Guarantors of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agree that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, the Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

(b)                                 No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company and each of the Guarantors have not entered, as of the date hereof, and the Company and each of the Guarantors shall not enter, after the date of this Agreement, into any agreement with respect to any of its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The Company and each of the Guarantors have not entered and will not enter into any agreement with respect to any of its securities that will grant to any Person piggy-back rights with respect to a Registration Statement.

 

(c)                                  Adjustments Affecting Registrable Notes. The Company shall not, directly or indirectly, take any action with respect to the Registrable Notes as a class that would adversely affect the ability of the Holders to include such Registrable Notes in a registration undertaken pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(d)                                 Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, otherwise than with the prior written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Registrable Notes in circumstances that would adversely affect any Holders of Registrable Notes; provided, however, that Section 8 and this Section 11(d) may not be amended, modified

 



 

or supplemented without the prior written consent of each Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders of Registrable Notes whose securities are being tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer or sold pursuant to a Notes Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect, impair, limit or compromise the rights of other Holders of Registrable Notes may be given by Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes being tendered or being sold by such Holders pursuant to such Notes Registration Statement.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        We have acted as special counsel to OnCure Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the issuance of $210,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's 113/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the "Notes") and the guarantees of the Notes (the "Guarantees") by the entities listed on Schedule I hereto (collectively, the "Delaware Guarantors"), the entities listed on Schedule II hereto (collectively, the "California Guarantors," together with the Delaware Guarantors, the "Covered Guarantors") and the entities listed on Schedule III hereto (collectively, the "Other Guarantors," together with the Covered Guarantors, the "Guarantors"), under the Indenture dated as of May 13, 2010 (the "Indenture") among the Company, the Guarantors, and Wilmington Trust FSB, as trustee (the "Trustee"), and pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on October 22, 2010 (Registration No. 333-                ) (the "Registration Statement"). This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or related prospectus, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issue of the Notes and the Guarantees.

        As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter. With your consent, we have relied upon certificates and other assurances of officers of the Company, the Guarantors, and others as to factual matters without having independently verified such factual matters. We are opining herein as to the internal laws of the State of New York and California and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, as applicable, and we express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction or, in the case of Delaware and California, any other laws, or as to any matters of municipal law or the laws of any local agencies within any state. Various matters concerning the laws of Florida are addressed in the opinion of Smith, Hulsey and Busey, which has been separately provided to you. We express no opinion with respect to those matters herein, and to the extent elements of those opinions are necessary to the conclusions expressed herein, we have, with your consent, assumed such matters.


        Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, when the Notes have been duly executed, issued, and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and delivered against payment therefor in the circumstances contemplated by the Indenture and Registration Rights Agreement dated as of May 13, 2010 filed as filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, the Notes and the Guarantees will have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability company action of the Company and the Covered Guarantors, respectively, and will be legally valid and binding obligations of the Company and the Covered Guarantors, respectively, enforceable against the Company and the Guarantors in accordance with their respective terms.

        Our opinion is subject to: (i) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, preference, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors; (ii) the effect of general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law (including the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief), concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and the discretion of the court before which a proceeding is brought; (iii) the invalidity under certain circumstances under law or court decisions of provisions providing for the indemnification of or contribution to a party with respect to a liability where such indemnification or contribution is contrary to public policy; and (iv) we express no opinion as to (a) any provision for liquidated damages, default interest, late charges, monetary penalties, make-whole premiums or other economic remedies to the extent such provisions are deemed to constitute a penalty, (b) consents to, or restrictions upon, governing law, jurisdiction, venue, arbitration, remedies, or judicial relief, (c) the waiver of rights or defenses contained in Section 4.06 of the Indenture; (d) any provision requiring the payment of attorneys' fees, where such payment is contrary to law or public policy; (e) any provision permitting, upon acceleration of the Notes, collection of that portion of the stated principal amount thereof which might be determined to constitute unearned interest thereon; (f) provisions purporting to make a guarantor primarily liable rather than as a surety and provisions purporting to waive modifications of any guaranteed obligation to the extent such modification constitutes a novation; (g) provisions for liquidated damages, default interest, late charges, monetary penalties, prepayment or make-whole premiums or other economic remedies to the extent such provisions are deemed to constitute a penalty; (h) provisions permitting, upon acceleration of any indebtedness, collection of that portion of the stated principal amount thereof which might be determined to constitute unearned interest thereon and (i) the severability, if invalid, of provisions to the foregoing effect.

        With your consent, we have assumed (a) that the Indenture, the Guarantees, and the Notes (collectively, the "Documents") have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto other than the Company and each of the Covered Guarantors, (b) that the Documents constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto other than the Company and each of the Guarantors, enforceable against each of them in accordance with their respective terms, and (c) that the status of the Documents as legally valid and binding obligations of the parties is not affected by any (i) breaches of, or defaults under, agreements or instruments, (ii) violations of statutes, rules, regulations or court or governmental orders, or (iii) failures to obtain required consents, approvals or authorizations from, or make required registrations, declarations or filings with, governmental authorities.

        This opinion is for your benefit in connection with the Registration Statement and may be relied upon by you and by persons entitled to rely upon it pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Act. We consent to your filing this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm contained in the Prospectus under the heading "Legal Matters." In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

(a)           All payments of “nonqualified deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (together with Department of Treasury regulations and other official guidance issued thereunder, “Section 409A”)) are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, and shall be interpreted in accordance therewith. No party individually or in combination with any other may accelerate any such deferred payment, except in compliance with Section 409A, and no amount shall be paid prior to the earliest date on which it is permitted to be paid under Section 409A.

 

(b)           Unless otherwise expressly provided, any payment of compensation by the Corporation to the Employee, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, shall be made within two and one-half months (2-1/2 months) after the end of the later of the calendar year or the Corporation’s fiscal year in which the Employee’s right to such payment vests (i.e., is not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture for purposes of Section 409A). Such amounts shall not be aggregated with any other payments and shall not be subject to the requirements of subsection (d) below applicable to “nonqualified deferred compensation.”

 

(c)           Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any payment or benefit constitutes non-exempt “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A, and such payment or benefit would otherwise be payable or distributable hereunder by reason of the Employee’s termination of employment, all references to the Employee’s termination of employment shall be construed to mean a “separation from service,” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) (a) “Separation from Service”), and the Employee shall not be considered to have a termination of employment unless such termination constitutes a Separation from Service with respect to the Employee. If this Section 11.12(c) applies, such payments or benefits that are subject to Section 409A shall be paid (or, in the event of any installment payments, shall commence to be paid) on the date that the Corporation determines within sixty (60) days following the date of the Employee’s Separation from Service.

 

14



 

(d)           Notwithstanding anything in Section 11.12(c) to the contrary, if the Employee is a “specified employee” on the date of the Employee’s Separation from Service, any benefit or payment that constitutes non-exempt “nonqualified deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A) shall be delayed in order to avoid a prohibited payment under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, and any such delayed payment shall be paid to the Employee in a lump sum during the ten (10) day period commencing on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of the Employee’s Separation from Service, or (ii) the Employee’s death. To the greatest extent permitted under Section 409A, any separate payment or benefit under the Agreement will not be deemed to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A and the six-month delay requirement to the extent provided in the exceptions in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) or any other applicable exception or provision of Section 409A.

 

(e)           Section 11.12(d) above shall not apply to that portion of any amounts payable upon a Separation from Service which shall qualify as “involuntary severance” under Section 409A because such amount does not exceed the lesser of (1) two hundred percent (200%) of the Employee’s annualized compensation from the Corporation for the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year during which the Separation from Service occurs, or (2) two hundred percent (200%) of the annual limitation amount under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the calendar year during which the Separation from Service occurs.

 

(f)            With respect to any continuation healthcare coverage provided under the Agreement, if during the period of continuation coverage, any plan pursuant to which such benefits are provided ceases to be exempt from the application of Section 409A under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5), then an amount equal to each such remaining premium shall thereafter be paid to the Employee as currently taxable compensation in substantially equal monthly installments over the remainder of the continuation coverage period.

 

(g)           With respect to any reimbursements or in-kind benefits, such reimbursements or benefits shall be provided in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv), including the following: (i) in no event shall such benefits or reimbursements be provided later than the last day of the Employee’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred or obligation arose, (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during the Employee’s taxable year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, in any other taxable year of the Employee, and (iii) the right to reimbursements or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

 

(h)           For purposes of this Agreement any installment payments made on separate dates shall be treated as a series of separate and distinct payments for purposes of Section 409A.

For purposes of the foregoing, the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the date of issuance shall be determined in good faith by the Board.

achievement of certain financial performance of the Corporation and other objectives established by the Compensation Committee or Board. The 2006 annual Bonus objectives are reflected on Exhibit A of this Agreement; provided, however, that when determining whether the EBITDA thresholds set forth on Exhibit A have been satisfied for 2006, EBITDA thresholds will be reasonably adjusted as determined by the Compensation Committee or Board to account for any acquisitions made by the Corporation after the date hereof.

Without any reduction in the compensation to which the Employee is entitled under the provisions of Sections 7.1 and 7.2 (other than voluntary payment of Employee’s share of premiums or plan contributions), during the Term the Employee will be entitled to participate in any health insurance, disability, sick leave, pension insurance or other employee benefit plan that is maintained at that time by the Corporation for its executive officers including programs of life and medical insurance for his family and reimbursement of membership fees in industry related professional organizations.

ARTICLE VIII
COVENANT OF CONFIDENTIALITY

 

The Employee acknowledges that during his employment he will learn and will have access to Confidential Information regarding the Corporation and its Affiliates. All records, files, materials and Confidential Information (excluding personal items obtained by the Employee in the course of his employment with the Corporation and that do not contain Confidential Information) are confidential and proprietary and shall remain the exclusive property of the Corporation or its Affiliates, as the case may be. The Employee will not, except in connection with and as required by his performance of his duties under this Agreement, for any reason use for his own benefit or the benefit of any Person or entity with which he may be associated or disclose any such Confidential Information to any Person for any reason or purpose whatsoever without the prior written consent of the Board unless such Confidential Information previously shall have become public knowledge through no action by or omission of the Employee.

 

ARTICLE IX
COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE

 

9.1         Covenant. Without limitation to any fiduciary or other legal responsibilities that Employee may have to the Corporation, the Employee agrees that he will not, for as long as he is an Employee of the Corporation directly or indirectly carry on, be engaged in, own, operate, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of or have any financial interest in or otherwise be connected with, any Person, or business (whether as an employee, officer, director, agent, security holder, creditor, consultant, or otherwise) that is or may be engaged in any business activity that is the same as, similar to, or competitive (directly or indirectly) with any radiation oncology business engaged in by the Corporation and/or its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed or construed to, or shall bar or preclude the Employee from acquiring directly or indirectly not more than five percent (5%) of the securities, by value or voting power, in any publicly-traded company that engages in any activity competitive with any activity engaged in by the Corporation and/or any of its Affiliates.

 

9.2         Non-Solicitation. The Employee hereby agrees that during the term of his employment with the Corporation and for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of his employment, without the prior written consent of the Corporation, he shall not, on his own behalf or on behalf of any Person, directly or indirectly, hire or solicit the employment of any employee who has been employed by the Corporation and/or any of its Affiliates at any time during the six (6) months immediately preceding such date of hiring or solicitation.

 

9.3         Severability. The parties hereto agree that the covenants of non-competition contained herein are reasonable covenants under the circumstances. The parties intend that the covenant contained in Section 9.1 be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each city, county, state, territory, possession or federal district of the United Sates covered by the covenant. Except for geographic coverage, each

 

11



 

separate covenant will be considered identical in terms to the covenant contained in Section 9.1. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court refuses to enforce any of the separate covenants described in this Section 9.3, the unenforceable covenant will be considered eliminated from these provisions for the purpose of those proceedings to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants to be enforced. The Employee agrees that any breach of the covenants contained in this Article IX would irreparably injure the Corporation. Accordingly, the Employee agrees that the Corporation, in addition to pursuing any other remedies it may have at law or in equity, shall be entitled to obtain an injunction against him from any court having jurisdiction over the matter, restraining any further violation of this Article IX and/or withhold any further payments due to the Employee.

 

9.4          Conflict with Noncompete Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Article IX and the provisions of the Noncompete Agreement, the provisions of the Noncompete Agreement shall control.

 

ARTICLE X
ASSIGNABILITY

 

The rights and obligations of the Corporation under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors or assigns of the Corporation. The Employee’s obligations hereunder may not be assigned or alienated and any attempt to do so by him will be void.

 

ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

11.1        Severance of Provision. If any provision of this Agreement otherwise is deemed to be invalid or unenforceable or is prohibited by the laws of the state or jurisdiction where it is to be performed, this Agreement shall be considered divisible as to such provision and such provision shall be inoperative in such state or jurisdiction and shall not be part of the consideration moving from either of the parties to the other. The remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be valid and binding and of like effect as though such provisions were not included.

 

11.2        Notice and Address. All notices, offers, acceptance and any other acts under this Agreement (except payment) shall be in writing, and shall be sufficiently given if delivered to the addresses in person, by Federal Express or similar receipted delivery, if mailed, postage prepaid, by certified mail return receipt requested (and in each case notice shall be deemed delivered and effective upon receipt thereof by the recipient), as follows:

11.4        Arbitration of Disputes. In the event of any controversy or claim, whether based on contract, tort, statute, or other legal or equitable theory (including but not limited to any claim of fraud, misrepresentation, or fraudulent inducement) arising out of or related to this agreement, or any subsequent agreement between the parties (“dispute”) and if the dispute cannot be resolved by negotiation, the parties agree to submit the dispute to arbitration pursuant to this section and the then-current rules and supervision of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall be held in Orange County, California at the office of the American Arbitration Association. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any party may seek injunctive relief for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement from any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

11.5        Attorney’s Fees. In the event that there is any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or to the interpretation, breach or enforcement thereof and any action or proceeding including that in arbitration as provided for in Section 11.4 of this Agreement, is commenced to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to an award by the court or arbitrator, as appropriate, of reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses.

11.10      Code Section 280G. The foregoing notwithstanding, to the extent that the total amounts payable to Employee under this Agreement or any other plan or agreement would constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (as determined in good faith by the Corporation’s public accountants) then amounts payable under Section 4.6 shall be reduced to the extent necessary to avoid any such amounts constituting an excess parachute payment.

 

11.11      Code Section 409A. In the event that the Common Stock of the Corporation or Holdings becomes publicly-traded and in the event that any payments to Employee under Section 4.6 constitute non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A, then the Corporation may delay payment of such amounts until the date that is 6 months and one day after the Employee’s termination of employment, to the extent required to comply with Code Section 409A.

Exhibit 10.3

 

FIRST AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

This first amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Employment Agreement by and between Oncure Medical Corp. (the “Corporation”) and Russell D. Phillips, Jr. (the “Employee”), dated as of December 17, 2008, is hereby made and entered into effective as of December 17, 2008, by and between the Corporation and the Employee.

 

WHEREAS, the Corporation and the Employee entered into the Employment Agreement dated as of August 18, 2006 (the “Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Corporation and the Employee desire to amend the Agreement to conform the Agreement to the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance thereunder.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements of the parties set forth in this Amendment, and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

 

1.             Section 11.11 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

 

11.11.             Compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

(a)   All payments of “nonqualified deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (together with Department of Treasury regulations and other official guidance issued thereunder, “Section 409A”)) are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, and shall be interpreted in accordance therewith.  No party individually or in combination with any other may accelerate any such deferred payment, except in compliance with Section 409A, and no amount shall be paid prior to the earliest date on which it is permitted to be paid under Section 409A.

 

(b)   Unless otherwise expressly provided, any payment of compensation by the Corporation to the Employee, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, shall be made within two and one-half months (2½ months) after the end of the later of the calendar year or the Corporation’s fiscal year in which the Employee’s right to such payment vests (i.e., is not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture for purposes of Section 409A).  Such amounts shall not be aggregated with any other payments and shall not be subject to the requirements of subsection (d) below applicable to “nonqualified deferred compensation.”

 

(c)   Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any payment or benefit constitutes non-exempt “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A, and such payment or benefit would otherwise be payable or distributable hereunder by reason of the Employee’s termination of employment, all references to the Employee’s termination of employment shall be construed to mean a “separation from service,” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) (a

 

1



 

Separation from Service”), and the Employee shall not be considered to have a termination of employment unless such termination constitutes a Separation from Service with respect to the Employee.  If this Section 11.11(c) applies, such payments or benefits that are subject to Section 409A shall be paid (or, in the event of any installment payments, shall commence to be paid) on the date that the Corporation determines within sixty (60) days following the date of the Employee’s Separation from Service.

 

(d)   Notwithstanding anything in Section 11.11(c) to the contrary, if the Employee is a “specified employee” on the date of the Employee’s Separation from Service, any benefit or payment that constitutes non-exempt “nonqualified deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A) shall be delayed in order to avoid a prohibited payment under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, and any such delayed payment shall be paid to the Employee in a lump sum during the ten (10) day period commencing on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of the Employee’s Separation from Service, or (ii) the Employee’s death.  To the greatest extent permitted under Section 409A, any separate payment or benefit under the Agreement will not be deemed to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A and the six-month delay requirement to the extent provided in the exceptions in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) or any other applicable exception or provision of Section 409A.

 

(e)   Section 11.11(d) above shall not apply to that portion of any amounts payable upon a Separation from Service which shall qualify as “involuntary severance” under Section 409A because such amount does not exceed the lesser of (1) two hundred percent (200%) of the Employee’s annualized compensation from the Corporation for the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year during which the Separation from Service occurs, or (2) two hundred percent (200%) of the annual limitation amount under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the calendar year during which the Separation from Service occurs.

 

(f)    With respect to any continuation healthcare coverage provided under the Agreement, if during the period of continuation coverage, any plan pursuant to which such benefits are provided ceases to be exempt from the application of Section 409A under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5), then an amount equal to each such remaining premium shall thereafter be paid to the Employee as currently taxable compensation in substantially equal monthly installments over the remainder of the continuation coverage period.

 

(g)   With respect to any reimbursements or in-kind benefits, such reimbursements or benefits shall be provided in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv), including the following:  (i) in no event shall such benefits or reimbursements be provided later than the last day of the Employee’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred or obligation arose, (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during the Employee’s taxable year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, in any other taxable year of the Employee, and (iii) the right to reimbursements or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

 

2



 

(h)   For purposes of this Agreement any installment payments made on separate dates shall be treated as a series of separate and distinct payments for purposes of Section 409A.

 

(i)    If the parties hereto determine that any payments or benefits payable under this Agreement intended to comply with Section 409A do not so comply, the Employee and the Corporation agree to amend this Agreement, or take such other actions as the Employee and the Corporation deem necessary or appropriate, to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, while preserving benefits that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable than the benefits as provided to the Employee under this Agreement.  If any provision of the Agreement would cause such payments or benefits to fail to so comply, such provision shall not be effective and shall be null and void with respect to such payments or benefits, and such provision shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no amendment may be made to this Agreement if it would cause the Agreement or any payment hereunder not to be in compliance with Code Section 409A.

 

2.             The Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.  This Amendment may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment on the date first written above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee’s employment shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason. The “Term” of this Agreement means the period from the Effective Date through the Initial Expiration Date, and includes any renewal term, subject in each case to the earlier termination of this Agreement for any reason.

In the event of a termination of this Agreement by the Corporation without Cause, subject to the provisions of Section 4.7, the Corporation shall pay to the Employee the severance pay set forth in Section 4.6. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means any of the following: (a) the Employee enters a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, or is convicted of, a felony or any other criminal act involving moral turpitude, dishonesty, or theft; (b) the Employee has committed gross negligence, willful misconduct or a breach of his fiduciary duties in carrying out his duties hereunder; (c) the Employee materially breaches this Agreement or the Noncompete Agreement and fails to cure such breach (in the event that such breach is capable of being cured) within 30 days following receipt of notice from the Corporation setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of such breach; (d) the Employee habitually uses drugs or alcohol and such use constitutes an abuse thereof; (e) the Employee engages in willful misconduct in the performance of his duties hereunder that (i) has a material adverse effect on the Corporation or (ii) constitutes a material violation of a policy adopted by the Board; or (f) the Employee engages in material dishonesty or fraud in the performance of his duties hereunder.

8



 

established by the Compensation Committee or Board. The 2006 annual Bonus objectives are reflected on Exhibit A of this Agreement; provided, however, that when determining whether the EBITDA thresholds set forth on Exhibit A have been satisfied for 2006, EBITDA thresholds will be reasonably adjusted as determined by the Compensation Committee or Board to account for any acquisitions made by the Corporation after the date hereof. The Employee’s bonus for 2006 will be determined under the bonus program in place prior to the execution of this Agreement. For each year of the Term after 2006, the Corporation shall adopt an annual bonus program affording Employee an opportunity to earn bonuses equal to at least 50% of his annual base salary; provided, however, that the annual bonus plan for fiscal years subsequent to 2006 may contain additional or different performance criteria established by the Board or the Compensation Committee. For purposes of this Agreement, the Employee’s “Target Bonus” for any year means the maximum annual bonus payable to the Employee assuming 100% achievement of all performance criteria for such year, as set forth in Exhibit A for 2006 and as adopted by the Corporation pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence for subsequent years.

 

7.3           Options. On or as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Date, and as approved by the Compensation Committee or Board, the Employee will receive an option to purchase 193,394 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of one share of Common Stock at the date of grant, which shall not be higher than the price of $3.50 per share (the “Initial Common Stock Price”), pursuant to the terms of Holdings’ Equity Incentive Plan (the “Stock Options”). Two-thirds of the Stock Options shall vest over four (4) years at the rate of 1/48 per month and one-third of the Stock Options (the “Performance Vesting Options”) shall vest as follows: 100% of the Performance Vesting Options shall vest upon the completion of a Change of Control (a) completed after the Effective Date and prior to the two-year anniversary of the Effective Date in which the consideration for each share of Common Stock is at least equal to 200% of the Initial Common Stock Price, (b) completed on or after the two-year anniversary of the Effective Date and prior to the three-year anniversary of the Effective Date in which the consideration for each share of Common Stock is at least equal to 225% of the Initial Common Stock Price, (c) completed on or after the three-year anniversary of the Effective Date and prior to the four-year anniversary of the Effective Date in which the consideration for each share of Common Stock is at least equal to 250% of the Initial Common Stock Price, or (d) completed on or after the four-year anniversary of the Effective Date in which the consideration for each share of Common Stock is at least equal to 300% of the Initial Common Stock Price.

7.6         Employee Benefit Programs. Without any reduction in the compensation to which the Employee is entitled under the provisions of Sections 7.1 and 7.2 (other than voluntary payment of Employee’s share of premiums or plan contributions), during the Term the Employee will be entitled to participate in any health insurance, disability, sick leave, pension insurance or other employee benefit plan that is maintained at that time by the Corporation for its executive officers including programs of life and medical insurance for his family and reimbursement of membership fees in industry related professional organizations.

The Corporation agrees that upon presentation of documentation of such reasonable relocation expenses, that the Employee will be reimbursed in full within fifteen (15) days.

ARTICLE VIII
COVENANT OF CONFIDENTIALITY

 

The Employee acknowledges that during his employment he will learn and will have access to Confidential Information regarding the Corporation and its Affiliates. All records, files, materials and Confidential Information (excluding personal items obtained by the Employee in the course of his employment with the Corporation and that do not contain Confidential Information) are confidential and proprietary and shall remain the exclusive property of the Corporation or its Affiliates, as the case may be. The Employee will not, except in connection with and as required by his performance of his duties under this Agreement, for any reason use for his own benefit or the benefit of any Person or entity with which he may be associated or disclose any such Confidential Information to any Person for any reason or purpose whatsoever without the prior written consent of the Board unless such Confidential Information previously shall have become public knowledge through no action by or omission of the Employee.

 

ARTICLE IX
COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE

 

9.1         Covenant. Without limitation to any fiduciary or other legal responsibilities that Employee may have to the Corporation, the Employee agrees that he will not, for as long as he is an Employee of the Corporation directly or indirectly carry on, be engaged in, own, operate, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of or have any financial interest in or otherwise be connected with, any Person, or business (whether as an employee, officer, director, agent, security holder, creditor, consultant, or otherwise) that is or may be engaged in any business activity that is the same as, similar to, or competitive (directly or indirectly) with any radiation oncology business engaged in by the Corporation and/or its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed or construed to, or shall bar or preclude the Employee from acquiring directly or indirectly not more than five percent (5%) of the securities, by value or voting power, in any publicly-traded company that engages in any activity competitive with any activity engaged in by the Corporation and/or any of its Affiliates.

 

9.2         Non-Solicitation. The Employee hereby agrees that during the term of his employment with the Corporation and for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of his employment, without the prior written consent of the Corporation, he shall not, on his own behalf or on behalf of any Person, directly or indirectly, hire or solicit the employment of any employee who has been employed by the Corporation and/or any of its Affiliates at any time during the six (6) months immediately preceding such date of hiring or solicitation.

 

9.3         Severability. The parties hereto agree that the covenants of non-competition contained herein are reasonable covenants under the circumstances. The parties intend that the covenant contained in Section 9.1 be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each city, county, state, territory, possession or federal district of the United Sates covered by the covenant. Except for geographic coverage, each

 

11



 

separate covenant will be considered identical in terms to the covenant contained in Section 9.1. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court refuses to enforce any of the separate covenants described in this Section 9.3, the unenforceable covenant will be considered eliminated from these provisions for the purpose of those proceedings to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants to be enforced. The Employee agrees that any breach of the covenants contained in this Article IX would irreparably injure the Corporation. Accordingly, the Employee agrees that the Corporation, in addition to pursuing any other remedies it may have at law or in equity, shall be entitled to obtain an injunction against him from any court having jurisdiction over the matter, restraining any further violation of this Article IX and/or withhold any further payments due to the Employee.

 

9.4          Conflict with Noncompete Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Article IX and the provisions of the Noncompete Agreement, the provisions of the Noncompete Agreement shall control.

 

ARTICLE X
ASSIGNABILITY

 

The rights and obligations of the Corporation under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors or assigns of the Corporation. The Employee’s obligations hereunder may not be assigned or alienated and any attempt to do so by him will be void.

 

ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

11.1        Severance of Provision. If any provision of this Agreement otherwise is deemed to be invalid or unenforceable or is prohibited by the laws of the state or jurisdiction where it is to be performed, this Agreement shall be considered divisible as to such provision and such provision shall be inoperative in such state or jurisdiction and shall not be part of the consideration moving from either of the parties to the other. The remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be valid and binding and of like effect as though such provisions were not included.

 

11.2        Notice and Address. All notices, offers, acceptance and any other acts under this Agreement (except payment) shall be in writing, and shall be sufficiently given if delivered to the addresses in person, by Federal Express or similar receipted delivery, if mailed, postage prepaid, by certified mail return receipt requested (and in each case notice shall be deemed delivered and effective upon receipt thereof by the recipient), as follows:

In the event of any controversy or claim, whether based on contract, tort, statute, or other legal or equitable theory (including but not limited to any claim of fraud, misrepresentation, or fraudulent inducement) arising out of or related to this agreement, or any subsequent agreement between the parties (“dispute”) and if the dispute cannot be resolved by negotiation, the parties agree to submit the dispute to arbitration pursuant to this section and the then-current rules and supervision of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall be held in Orange County, California at the office of the American Arbitration Association. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any party may seek injunctive relief for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement from any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

11.5        Attorney’s Fees. In the event that there is any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or to the interpretation, breach or enforcement thereof and any action or proceeding including that in arbitration as provided for in Section 11.4 of this Agreement, is commenced to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to an award by the court or arbitrator, as appropriate, of reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses.

11.10      Code Section 280G. The foregoing notwithstanding, to the extent that the total amounts payable to Employee under this Agreement or any other plan or agreement would constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (as determined in good faith by the Corporation’s public accountants) then amounts payable under Section 4.6 shall be reduced to the extent necessary to avoid any such amounts constituting an excess parachute payment.

 

11.11      Code Section 409A. In the event that the Common Stock of the Corporation or Holdings becomes publicly-traded and in the event that any payments to Employee under Section 4.6 constitute non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A, then the Corporation may delay payment of such amounts until the date that is 6 months and one day after the Employee’s termination of employment, to the extent required to comply with Code Section 409A.

11.11.             Compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

(a)   All payments of “nonqualified deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (together with Department of Treasury regulations and other official guidance issued thereunder, “Section 409A”)) are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, and shall be interpreted in accordance therewith.  No party individually or in combination with any other may accelerate any such deferred payment, except in compliance with Section 409A, and no amount shall be paid prior to the earliest date on which it is permitted to be paid under Section 409A.

 

(b)   Unless otherwise expressly provided, any payment of compensation by the Corporation to the Employee, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, shall be made within two and one-half months (2½ months) after the end of the later of the calendar year or the Corporation’s fiscal year in which the Employee’s right to such payment vests (i.e., is not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture for purposes of Section 409A).  Such amounts shall not be aggregated with any other payments and shall not be subject to the requirements of subsection (d) below applicable to “nonqualified deferred compensation.”

 

(c)  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any payment or benefit constitutes non-exempt “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A, and such payment or benefit would otherwise be payable or distributable hereunder by reason of the Employee’s termination of employment, all references to the Employee’s termination of employment shall be construed to mean a “separation from service,” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) (a

 

1



 

Separation from Service”), and the Employee shall not be considered to have a termination of employment unless such termination constitutes a Separation from Service with respect to the Employee.  If this Section 11.11(c) applies, such payments or benefits that are subject to Section 409A shall be paid (or, in the event of any installment payments, shall commence to be paid) on the date that the Corporation determines within sixty (60) days following the date of the Employee’s Separation from Service.

 

(d)   Notwithstanding anything in Section 11.11(c) to the contrary, if the Employee is a “specified employee” on the date of the Employee’s Separation from Service, any benefit or payment that constitutes non-exempt “nonqualified deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A) shall be delayed in order to avoid a prohibited payment under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, and any such delayed payment shall be paid to the Employee in a lump sum during the ten (10) day period commencing on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of the Employee’s Separation from Service, or (ii) the Employee’s death.  To the greatest extent permitted under Section 409A, any separate payment or benefit under the Agreement will not be deemed to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A and the six-month delay requirement to the extent provided in the exceptions in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) or any other applicable exception or provision of Section 409A.

 

(e)   Section 11.11(d) above shall not apply to that portion of any amounts payable upon a Separation from Service which shall qualify as “involuntary severance” under Section 409A because such amount does not exceed the lesser of (1) two hundred percent (200%) of the Employee’s annualized compensation from the Corporation for the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year during which the Separation from Service occurs, or (2) two hundred percent (200%) of the annual limitation amount under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the calendar year during which the Separation from Service occurs.

 

(f)    With respect to any continuation healthcare coverage provided under the Agreement, if during the period of continuation coverage, any plan pursuant to which such benefits are provided ceases to be exempt from the application of Section 409A under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5), then an amount equal to each such remaining premium shall thereafter be paid to the Employee as currently taxable compensation in substantially equal monthly installments over the remainder of the continuation coverage period.

 

(g)   With respect to any reimbursements or in-kind benefits, such reimbursements or benefits shall be provided in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv), including the following:  (i) in no event shall such benefits or reimbursements be provided later than the last day of the Employee’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred or obligation arose, (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during the Employee’s taxable year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, in any other taxable year of the Employee, and (iii) the right to reimbursements or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

 

2



 

(h)   For purposes of this Agreement any installment payments made on separate dates shall be treated as a series of separate and distinct payments for purposes of Section 409A.

 

(i)    If the parties hereto determine that any payments or benefits payable under this Agreement intended to comply with Section 409A do not so comply, the Employee and the Corporation agree to amend this Agreement, or take such other actions as the Employee and the Corporation deem necessary or appropriate, to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, while preserving benefits that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable than the benefits as provided to the Employee under this Agreement.  If any provision of the Agreement would cause such payments or benefits to fail to so comply, such provision shall not be effective and shall be null and void with respect to such payments or benefits, and such provision shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no amendment may be made to this Agreement if it would cause the Agreement or any payment hereunder not to be in compliance with Code Section 409A.

 

2.             The Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.  This Amendment may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment on the date first written above.

Exhibit 10.8

 

AGREEMENT NOT TO COMPETE

 

THIS AGREEMENT NOT TO COMPETE (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of August 18, 2006, by and between OnCure Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Shyam Paryani (the “Seller”).

 

RECITALS:

 

A.            Parent, OnCure Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger Sub”), Seller, OnCure Medical Corp., a Delaware corporation (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, the “Company”), and certain other parties have entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of July 5, 2006, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company such that Company shall become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).

 

B.            Seller is a stockholder of the Company and will receive personally material financial benefits upon the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

 

C.            This Agreement is a material inducement to Parent’s entering into the Merger Agreement, and Parent has relied upon this Agreement in consummating the Merger and the other transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement.

 

D.            Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

 

AGREEMENT:

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, and other good and valuable consideration received, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.             Agreement Not to Compete.

 

Except as may otherwise be provided in this Section 1, during the Noncompetition Period (as hereinafter defined), Seller shall not in any manner, directly or indirectly, including through entities controlled by Seller, within the Territory (as hereinafter defined), (a) engage or participate in the business of operating and managing outpatient facilities that provide radiation therapy, medical oncology and related oncology services and providing physician practice management services for medical and radiation oncologists (collectively, the “Business”) or perform services for third parties that are competitive with the Business (“Competitive Services”), or (b) own or operate any business that engages or participates in the Business or that performs Competitive Services.  Seller shall be deemed to be engaged in the Business or performing Competitive Services if Seller shall engage in such business or perform such services directly or indirectly, whether for Seller’s own account or for that of another person, firm or corporation, or whether as stockholder, principal, partner, member, agent, investor, proprietor, director, officer, employee or consultant or in any other capacity, except as a consultant or

 



 

employee to Parent or any parent, subsidiary or other Affiliate of Parent (including, without limitation, the Company).  The covenants contained in this Section 1 shall not apply to Seller’s provision of professional medical services or to his ownership, management, administration or operation of those professional medical practices, cancer centers, and affiliates listed on Schedule A attached hereto, including all successor entities thereto.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Territory” shall mean the United States, provided that by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors, the Company may by written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) exclude from the Territory any state or states other than California, Florida, Georgia and Arizona.  For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Noncompetition Period” shall mean the period beginning at the Effective Time and ending upon the later to occur of (x) the second anniversary of the Effective Time and (y) two years after the termination of Seller’s service on the Board of Directors and Medical Advisory Board of the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1, the prohibitions of this Section 1 shall not be deemed to prevent Seller from owning 2% or less of any class of equity securities of an entity that has a class of equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

 

2.             Confidential Information; Non-Solicitation.

 

(a)           Seller acknowledges that Seller has occupied a position of trust and confidence with the Company prior to the date hereof and has become familiar with the following, any and all of which constitute confidential information relating to the Company (collectively, the “Confidential Information”): (i) any and all trade secrets concerning the business and affairs of the Company, specifications, data, know-how, formulae, compositions, processes, designs, sketches, photographs, graphs, drawings, samples, inventions and ideas, past, current and planned research and development, physician and patient lists, physician and patient information databases, mailing lists, current and anticipated physician and patient requirements, price lists, market studies, business plans, computer software and programs (including object code and source code), computer software and data-base technologies, systems, structures and architectures and related processes, formulae, compositions, improvements, devises, know-how, inventions, discoveries, concepts, ideas, designs, methods and information of the Company and any other information, however documented, of the Company or related to the Company that is a trade secret; (ii) any and all information concerning the business and affairs of the Company and the operation of the Business (which includes historical financial statements, financial projections and budgets, historical and projected sales and/or revenues, capital spending budgets and plans, the names and backgrounds of key personnel, the names and backgrounds of acquisition targets, personnel training and techniques and materials), however documented; and (iii) any and all notes, analyses, compilations, studies, summaries, and other material prepared by or for the Company containing or based, in whole or in part, on any information included in the foregoing. For purposes of this Agreement, however, Confidential Information shall not include any of the foregoing that is or becomes generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of Seller’s fault or the fault of any other Person bound by a duty of confidentiality to Parent.

 

(b)           Seller acknowledges and agrees that all Confidential Information known or obtained by Seller, as of the date hereof, is the sole property of the Company.  Therefore, Seller agrees that Seller will not, at any time, disclose to any unauthorized Persons or use for Seller’s own account or the account of any affiliate of the Seller or for the benefit of any third

 

2



 

party any Confidential Information, whether Seller has such information in Seller’s memory or embodied in writing or other physical form, without Parent’s prior written consent (which it may grant or withhold in its sole discretion). If requested by Parent, Seller agrees to deliver to Parent at the time of execution of this Agreement, and at any other time Parent may request, all documents, memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports and other documentation, models, components, devices or computer software, whether embodied in physical, electronic or other form (and all copies of all of the foregoing), relating to the businesses, operations or affairs of the Company or the operation of the Business and any other Confidential Information that Seller may then possess or have under Seller’s control; provided however, that Seller’s covenants contained in this Section 2 shall not apply to any disclosures or uses by Seller of Confidential Information (i) in the ordinary course of Seller’s examination and treatment of patients as a part of his professional medical practice or (ii) in connection with Seller’s ownership, management, administration or operation of those professional medical practices, cancer centers and affiliates listed in Schedule A attached hereto, including all successor entities thereto.

 

(c)           In the event that Seller is required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, Seller will promptly notify Parent of such requirement so that Parent may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, and/or take any other mutually agreed action.  If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, Seller is, in the opinion of Seller’s counsel, legally compelled to disclose information or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other censure or significant penalty, Seller may disclose that portion of the requested information which Seller’s counsel advises Seller that Seller is compelled to disclose.  In any event, Seller will furnish only that portion of the information which is legally required and will exercise Seller’s best efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the information.  In addition, Seller will not oppose action by Parent to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that such confidential treatment will be so accorded.

 

(d)           During the Noncompetition Period, Seller agrees not to, directly or indirectly, solicit the employment or hire any employee of Parent or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Parent (including, without limitation, the Company), it being understood that the provisions of this Section 2(d) shall not prohibit Seller from conducting general employment searches not targeting employees of Parent or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Parent (including, without limitation, the Company).

 

3.             Remedies.

 

(a)                         The necessity of protection against the competition of Seller and the nature and scope of such protection has been carefully considered and agreed upon by the parties hereto.  Seller acknowledges that the nature of the Business is highly competitive, that one of the most valuable assets of the Company is its goodwill in the marketplace and among its customers, which Seller helped to develop and maintain in the course of Seller’s service to the Company, and that Parent, in consummating the Merger and entering into the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, has relied on the fact that it will acquire the goodwill of the Company and therefore on Seller’s willingness to restrict Seller’s ability to compete with Parent or any current or future affiliate of Parent in the conduct of the Business.  Seller and Parent hereby

 

3



 

agree and acknowledge that the duration, scope and geographic area applicable to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement are fair, reasonable and necessary.

 

(b)                         Seller acknowledges that the consideration provided for in Section 5 hereof is sufficient and adequate to compensate Seller for agreeing to the restrictions contained in this Agreement and that such restrictions will not cause Seller undue hardship.  If, however, any court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction determines that the foregoing restrictions are unreasonable and for that reason unenforceable, such restrictions shall be modified, rewritten or interpreted to include as much of their nature and scope as will render them enforceable.  Seller and Parent agree that a monetary remedy for a breach of this Agreement will be inadequate and will be impracticable and extremely difficult to prove, and further agree that such a breach would cause Parent irreparable harm, and that Parent, in addition to any and all other remedies available to it at law or in equity, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damages.  Seller agrees that Parent shall be entitled to such injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions, without the necessity of posting bond or other undertaking in connection therewith.  Any such requirement of bond or undertaking is hereby waived by Seller, and Seller acknowledges that in the absence of such a waiver, a bond or undertaking might be required by the court.

 

4.             Seller Representation.

 

The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Parent that (a) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Seller do not and will not conflict with, breach, violate or cause a default under any agreement, contract or instrument to which the Seller is a party or any judgment, order or decree to which the Seller is subject, (b) the Seller has full authority to execute, deliver and be bound by the terms of this Agreement, and (c) upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the Seller, this Agreement will be a valid and binding obligation of the Seller, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

 

5.             Consideration.

 

Seller hereby acknowledges that as consideration for Seller’s covenants set forth in Section 1 and Section 2 of this Agreement, Parent has entered into the Merger Agreement and would not have done so but for the agreement of Seller to enter into this Agreement.

 

6.             Notices.

 

All notices, consents, waivers and other communications under this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when (a) delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (b) sent by facsimile (with written confirmation of receipt) provided that a copy is mailed by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service (e.g., Federal Express) or (c) when received by the addressee, if sent by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each case to the appropriate addresses and facsimile numbers set forth below (or to such other addresses and facsimile numbers as a party may designate by notice to the other parties):

(c)                         EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.  EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS, (II) SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (III) SUCH PARTY MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11(d).

15.           Full Understanding; Negotiation of Agreement.

 

(a)           Seller represents that Seller has carefully read and fully understands all of the provisions of this Agreement, that Seller is competent to execute this Agreement, that Seller’s agreement to execute and deliver this Agreement has not been obtained by any duress and that Seller freely and voluntarily enters into it, and that Seller has read this Agreement in its entirety and fully understands the meaning, intent and consequences of this Agreement.

 

(b)           Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that it has been represented by independent counsel of its choice, or has had the opportunity to be represented by independent counsel of its own choosing, and that to the extent, if any, that it desired, each party hereto availed itself of this right and opportunity throughout all negotiations that have preceded the execution of this Agreement, and that it has executed the same with the consent and upon the advice of said independent counsel.  Each party hereto and its counsel cooperated in the drafting and preparation of this Agreement and the documents referred to herein, and any and all drafts relating thereto shall be deemed the work product of the parties and may not be construed against any party by reason of its preparation.  Accordingly, any rule of law, or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any ambiguities in this Agreement against the party that drafted it, is of no application and is hereby expressly waived.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a reasonable manner to effect the intentions of the parties and this Agreement.

 

16.           Parties in Interest; Assignment.

 

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors, assigns, heirs and/or personal representatives, except that neither this Agreement nor any interest herein shall be assigned or assignable by operation of law or otherwise by Seller without the prior written consent of Parent.  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer on any person other than the parties and their

 

7



 

respective successors and permitted assigns any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

17.           Severability.

 

In the event that, notwithstanding the express, carefully considered, agreement of Parent and Seller set forth herein, any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or if the period during which this Agreement is to remain effective is found to exceed the legally permissible period, then notwithstanding such invalidity, unenforceability or illegality the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect during the maximum period legally permissible (subject to any reformation of terms as provided for in Section 3).

 

18.           Attorneys’ Fees.

 

If any party to this Agreement brings an action to enforce its rights under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, rights under Section 11 hereof), the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ fees and court costs reasonably incurred in connection with such action, including any appeal of such action.

AGREEMENT NOT TO COMPETE

 

THIS AGREEMENT NOT TO COMPETE (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of August 18, 2006, by and between OnCure Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Russell D. Phillips, Jr. (the “Seller”).

 

RECITALS:

 

A.            Parent, OnCure Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger Sub”), Seller, OnCure Medical Corp., a Delaware corporation (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, the “Company”), and certain other parties have entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of July 5, 2006, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company such that Company shall become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).

 

B.            Seller is a stockholder of the Company and will receive personally material financial benefits upon the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

 

C.            This Agreement is a material inducement to Parent’s entering into the Merger Agreement, and Parent has relied upon this Agreement in consummating the Merger and the other transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement.

 

D.            Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

 

AGREEMENT:

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, and other good and valuable consideration received, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.             Agreement Not to Compete.

 

During the Noncompetition Period (as hereinafter defined), Seller shall not in any manner, directly or indirectly, including through entities controlled by Seller, within the Territory (as hereinafter defined), (a) engage or participate in the business of operating and managing outpatient facilities that provide radiation therapy, medical oncology and related oncology services and providing physician practice management services for medical and radiation oncologists (collectively, the “Business”) or perform services for third parties that are competitive with the Business (“Competitive Services”), or (b) own or operate any business that engages or participates in the Business or that performs Competitive Services.  Seller shall be deemed to be engaged in the Business or performing Competitive Services if Seller shall engage in such business or perform such services directly or indirectly, whether for Seller’s own account or for that of another person, firm or corporation, or whether as stockholder, principal, partner, member, agent, investor, proprietor, director, officer, employee or consultant or in any other capacity, except as a consultant or employee to Parent or any parent, subsidiary or other Affiliate

 



 

of Parent (including, without limitation, the Company).  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Territory” shall mean the United States, provided that by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors the Company may by written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) exclude from the Territory any state or states other than California, Florida, Georgia and Arizona.  For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Noncompetition Period” shall mean the period beginning at the Effective Time and ending upon the later to occur of (x) the second anniversary of the Effective Time and (y) one year after the termination of Seller’s employment with Parent, the Company or any Affiliate of the Parent or the Company, whether present or future.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1, the prohibitions of this Section 1 shall not be deemed to prevent Seller from owning 2% or less of any class of equity securities of an entity that has a class of equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

 

2.             Confidential Information; Non-Solicitation.

 

(a)           Seller acknowledges that Seller has occupied a position of trust and confidence with the Company prior to the date hereof and has become familiar with the following, any and all of which constitute confidential information relating to the Company (collectively, the “Confidential Information”): (i) any and all trade secrets concerning the business and affairs of the Company, specifications, data, know-how, formulae, compositions, processes, designs, sketches, photographs, graphs, drawings, samples, inventions and ideas, past, current and planned research and development, physician and patient lists, physician and patient information databases, mailing lists, current and anticipated physician and patient requirements, price lists, market studies, business plans, computer software and programs (including object code and source code), computer software and data-base technologies, systems, structures and architectures and related processes, formulae, compositions, improvements, devises, know-how, inventions, discoveries, concepts, ideas, designs, methods and information of the Company and any other information, however documented, of the Company or related to the Company that is a trade secret; (ii) any and all information concerning the business and affairs of the Company and the operation of the Business (which includes historical financial statements, financial projections and budgets, historical and projected sales and/or revenues, capital spending budgets and plans, the names and backgrounds of key personnel, the names and backgrounds of acquisition targets, personnel training and techniques and materials), however documented; and (iii) any and all notes, analyses, compilations, studies, summaries, and other material prepared by or for the Company containing or based, in whole or in part, on any information included in the foregoing. For purposes of this Agreement, however, Confidential Information shall not include any of the foregoing that is or becomes generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of Seller’s fault or the fault of any other Person bound by a duty of confidentiality to Parent.

 

(b)           Seller acknowledges and agrees that all Confidential Information known or obtained by Seller, as of the date hereof, is the sole property of the Company.  Therefore, Seller agrees that Seller will not, at any time, disclose to any unauthorized Persons or use for Seller’s own account or the account of any affiliate of the Seller or for the benefit of any third party any Confidential Information, whether Seller has such information in Seller’s memory or embodied in writing or other physical form, without Parent’s prior written consent (which it may grant or withhold in its sole discretion). If requested by Parent, Seller agrees to deliver to Parent at the time of execution of this Agreement, and at any other time Parent may request, all

 

2



 

documents, memoranda, notes, plans records, reports and other documentation, models, components, devices or computer software, whether embodied in physical, electronic or other form (and all copies of all of the foregoing), relating to the businesses, operations or affairs of the Company or the operation of the Business and any other Confidential Information that Seller may then possess or have under Seller’s control.

 

(c)           In the event that Seller is required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, Seller will promptly notify Parent of such requirement so that Parent may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, and/or take any other mutually agreed action.  If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, Seller is, in the opinion of Seller’s counsel, legally compelled to disclose information or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other censure or significant penalty, Seller may disclose that portion of the requested information which Seller’s counsel advises Seller that Seller is compelled to disclose.  In any event, Seller will furnish only that portion of the information which is legally required and will exercise Seller’s best efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the information.  In addition, Seller will not oppose action by Parent to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that such confidential treatment will be so accorded.

 

(d)           During the Noncompetition Period, Seller agrees not to, directly or indirectly, solicit the employment or hire any employee of Parent or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Parent (including, without limitation, the Company), it being understood that the provisions of this Section 2(d) shall not prohibit Seller from conducting general employment searches not targeting employees of Parent or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Parent (including, without limitation, the Company).

 

3.             Remedies.

 

(a)                         The necessity of protection against the competition of Seller and the nature and scope of such protection has been carefully considered and agreed upon by the parties hereto.  Seller acknowledges that the nature of the Business is highly competitive, that one of the most valuable assets of the Company is its goodwill in the marketplace and among its customers, which Seller helped to develop and maintain in the course of Seller’s service to the Company, and that Parent, in consummating the Merger and entering into the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, has relied on the fact that it will acquire the goodwill of the Company and therefore on Seller’s willingness to restrict Seller’s ability to compete with Parent or any current or future affiliate of Parent in the conduct of the Business.  Seller and Parent hereby agree and acknowledge that the duration, scope and geographic area applicable to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement are fair, reasonable and necessary.

 

(b)                         Seller acknowledges that the consideration provided for in Section 5 hereof is sufficient and adequate to compensate Seller for agreeing to the restrictions contained in this Agreement and that such restrictions will not cause Seller undue hardship.  If, however, any court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction determines that the foregoing restrictions are unreasonable and for that reason unenforceable, such restrictions shall be modified, rewritten or interpreted to include as much of their nature and scope as will render them enforceable.  Seller

 

3



 

and Parent agree that a monetary remedy for a breach of this Agreement will be inadequate and will be impracticable and extremely difficult to prove, and further agree that such a breach would cause Parent irreparable harm, and that Parent, in addition to any and all other remedies available to it at law or in equity, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damages.  Seller agrees that Parent shall be entitled to such injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions, without the necessity of posting bond or other undertaking in connection therewith.  Any such requirement of bond or undertaking is hereby waived by Seller, and Seller acknowledges that in the absence of such a waiver, a bond or undertaking might be required by the court.

 

4.             Seller Representation.

 

The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Parent that (a) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Seller do not and will not conflict with, breach, violate or cause a default under any agreement, contract or instrument to which the Seller is a party or any judgment, order or decree to which the Seller is subject, (b) the Seller has full authority to execute, deliver and be bound by the terms of this Agreement, and (c) upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the Seller, this Agreement will be a valid and binding obligation of the Seller, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

 

5.             Consideration.

 

Seller hereby acknowledges that as consideration for Seller’s covenants set forth in Section 1 and Section 2 of this Agreement, Parent has entered into the Merger Agreement and would not have done so but for the agreement of Seller to enter into this Agreement.

 

6.             Notices.

 

All notices, consents, waivers and other communications under this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when (a) delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (b) sent by facsimile (with written confirmation of receipt) provided that a copy is mailed by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service (e.g., Federal Express) or (c) when received by the addressee, if sent by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each case to the appropriate addresses and facsimile numbers set forth below (or to such other addresses and facsimile numbers as a party may designate by notice to the other parties):

Exhibit 10.10

 

AGREEMENT NOT TO COMPETE

 

THIS AGREEMENT NOT TO COMPETE (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of August 18, 2006, by and between OnCure Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and William L. Pegler (the “Seller”).

 

RECITALS:

 

A.             Parent, OnCure Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger Sub”), Seller, OnCure Medical Corp., a Delaware corporation (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, the “Company”), and certain other parties have entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of July 5, 2006, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company such that Company shall become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).

 

B.              Seller is a stockholder of the Company and will receive personally material financial benefits upon the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

 

C.              This Agreement is a material inducement to Parent’s entering into the Merger Agreement, and Parent has relied upon this Agreement in consummating the Merger and the other transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement.

 

D.              Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

 

AGREEMENT:

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, and other good and valuable consideration received, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.               Agreement Not to Compete.

 

During the Noncompetition Period (as hereinafter defined), Seller shall not in any manner, directly or indirectly, including through entities controlled by Seller, within the Territory (as hereinafter defined), (a) engage or participate in the business of operating and managing outpatient facilities that provide radiation therapy, medical oncology and related oncology services and providing physician practice management services for medical and radiation oncologists (collectively, the “Business”) or perform services for third parties that are competitive with the Business (“Competitive Services”), or (b) own or operate any business that engages or participates in the Business or that performs Competitive Services. Seller shall be deemed to be engaged in the Business or performing Competitive Services if Seller shall engage in such business or perform such services directly or indirectly, whether for Seller’s own account or for that of another person, firm or corporation, or whether as stockholder, principal, partner, member, agent, investor, proprietor, director, officer, employee or consultant or in any other capacity, except as a consultant or employee to Parent or any parent, subsidiary or other Affiliate

 

1



 

of Parent (including, without limitation, the Company). For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Territory” shall mean the United States, provided that by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors the Company may by written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) exclude from the Territory any state or states other than California, Florida, Georgia and Arizona. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Noncompetition Period” shall mean the period beginning at the Effective Time and ending upon the later to occur of (x) the second anniversary of the Effective Time and (y) six months after the termination of Seller’s employment with Parent, the Company or any Affiliate of the Parent or the Company, whether present or future. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1, the prohibitions of this Section 1 shall not be deemed to prevent Seller from owning 2% or less of any class of equity securities of an entity that has a class of equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

 

2.               Confidential Information; Non-Solicitation.

 

(a)               Seller acknowledges that Seller has occupied a position of trust and confidence with the Company prior to the date hereof and has become familiar with the following, any and all of which constitute confidential information relating to the Company (collectively, the “Confidential Information”): (i) any and all trade secrets concerning the business and affairs of the Company, specifications, data, know-how, formulae, compositions, processes, designs, sketches, photographs, graphs, drawings, samples, inventions and ideas, past, current and planned research and development, physician and patient lists, physician and patient information databases, mailing lists, current and anticipated physician and patient requirements, price lists, market studies, business plans, computer software and programs (including object code and source code), computer software and data-base technologies, systems, structures and architectures and related processes, formulae, compositions, improvements, devises, know-how, inventions, discoveries, concepts, ideas, designs, methods and information of the Company and any other information, however documented, of the Company or related to the Company that is a trade secret; (ii) any and all information concerning the business and affairs of the Company and the operation of the Business (which includes historical financial statements, financial projections and budgets, historical and projected sales and/or revenues, capital spending budgets and plans, the names and backgrounds of key personnel, the names and backgrounds of acquisition targets, personnel training and techniques and materials), however documented; and (iii) any and all notes, analyses, compilations, studies, summaries, and other material prepared by or for the Company containing or based, in whole or in part, on any information included in the foregoing. For purposes of this Agreement, however, Confidential Information shall not include any of the foregoing that is or becomes generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of Seller’s fault or the fault of any other Person bound by a duty of confidentiality to Parent.

 

(b)             Seller acknowledges and agrees that all Confidential Information known or obtained by Seller, as of the date hereof, is the sole property of the Company. Therefore, Seller agrees that Seller will not, at any time, disclose to any unauthorized Persons or use for Seller’s own account or the account of any affiliate of the Seller or for the benefit of any third party any Confidential Information, whether Seller has such information in Seller’s memory or embodied in writing or other physical form, without Parent’s prior written consent (which it may grant or withhold in its sole discretion). If requested by Parent, Seller agrees to deliver to Parent at the time of execution of this Agreement, and at any other time Parent may request, all

 

2



 

documents, memoranda, notes, plans records, reports and other documentation, models, components, devices or computer software, whether embodied in physical, electronic or other form (and all copies of all of the foregoing), relating to the businesses, operations or affairs of the Company or the operation of the Business and any other Confidential Information that Seller may then possess or have under Seller’s control.

 

(c)             In the event that Seller is required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, Seller will promptly notify Parent of such requirement so that Parent may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, and/or take any other mutually agreed action. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, Seller is, in the opinion of Seller’s counsel, legally compelled to disclose information or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other censure or significant penalty, Seller may disclose that portion of the requested information which Seller’s counsel advises Seller that Seller is compelled to disclose. In any event, Seller will furnish only that portion of the information which is legally required and will exercise Seller’s best efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the information. In addition, Seller will not oppose action by Parent to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that such confidential treatment will be so accorded.

 

(d)           During the Noncompetition Period, Seller agrees not to, directly or indirectly, solicit the employment or hire any employee of Parent or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Parent (including, without limitation, the Company), it being understood that the provisions of this Section 2(d) shall not prohibit Seller from conducting general employment searches not targeting employees of Parent or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Parent (including, without limitation, the Company).

 

3.               Remedies.

 

(a)                           The necessity of protection against the competition of Seller and the nature and scope of such protection has been carefully considered and agreed upon by the parties hereto. Seller acknowledges that the nature of the Business is highly competitive, that one of the most valuable assets of the Company is its goodwill in the marketplace and among its customers, which Seller helped to develop and maintain in the course of Seller’s service to the Company, and that Parent, in consummating the Merger and entering into the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, has relied on the fact that it will acquire the goodwill of the Company and therefore on Seller’s willingness to restrict Seller’s ability to compete with Parent or any current or future affiliate of Parent in the conduct of the Business. Seller and Parent hereby agree and acknowledge that the duration, scope and geographic area applicable to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement are fair, reasonable and necessary.

 

(b)                           Seller acknowledges that the consideration provided for in Section 5 hereof is sufficient and adequate to compensate Seller for agreeing to the restrictions contained in this Agreement and that such restrictions will not cause Seller undue hardship. If, however, any court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction determines that the foregoing restrictions are unreasonable and for that reason unenforceable, such restrictions shall be modified, rewritten or interpreted to include as much of their nature and scope as will render them enforceable. Seller

7.4          Expenses. It is understood and agreed that the services required of the Employee by the Corporation will require the Employee to incur entertainment, travel and other expenses on behalf of the Corporation. The Corporation will reimburse or advance funds to the Employee for all reasonable travel, entertainment and miscellaneous expenses incurred in connection with the performance of his duties under this Agreement, provided that the Employee properly accounts for such expenses to the Corporation in accordance with the Corporation’s practices.

7.5           Vacation.

7.6          Employee Benefit Programs. Without any reduction in the compensation to which the Employee is entitled under the provisions of Sections 7.1 and 7.2 (other than voluntary payment of the Employee’s share of premiums or plan contributions), during the Term the Employee will be entitled to participate in any health insurance, disability, sick leave, pension insurance or other employee benefit plan that is maintained at that time by the Corporation for its executive officers including programs of life and medical insurance for his family and reimbursement of membership fees in industry related professional organizations. During the Term, the Corporation shall maintain a policy of directors and officers’ liability insurance with policy limits and terms appropriate for the Corporation’s size and business activities, and shall ensure that the Employee is covered by such policy.

 

7.7           Living Accommodations and Relocation Costs. The Corporation and the Employee also acknowledge and agree that the Corporation agrees to pay all reasonable relocation expenses of the Employee to the Denver, Colorado area up to a maximum amount of Fifty Thousand dollars ($50,000). The Corporation agrees that upon presentation of documentation of such reasonable relocation expenses, that the Employee will be reimbursed in full for such amounts within fifteen (15) days. For purposes of this section, reasonable relocation expenses shall include: (a) airfare for his entire immediate family for one trip from the existing home location to the relocated home location; (b) round-trip airfare for the Employee and his spouse and other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with up to two trips from the existing home location to Colorado for the purpose of locating a new permanent residence; (c) all reasonable closing costs related to the sale of the Employee’s residence (if applicable), including broker commissions, title costs, tax stamps, document fees; and (d) reasonable moving and shipping costs for furniture and autos. In the event the Employee resigns his employment with the Corporation on or before the first anniversary of the Relocation Date, the Employee agrees to reimburse the Corporation the pro rata share of moving expenses provided to the Employee under this Section 7.7 (i.e., if the Employee’s resignation becomes effective six (6) months after the Relocation Date, then the Employee would reimburse the Corporation for 50% of the relocation expense) within five (5) business days of the Employee’s termination of employment with the Corporation. If allowed under applicable state law, the Corporation

may deduct the amount to be reimbursed by the Employee from the Employee’s final payroll checks.

 

ARTICLE VIII
COVENANT OF CONFIDENTIALITY

 

The Employee acknowledges that during his employment he will learn and will have access to Confidential Information regarding the Corporation and its Affiliates. All records, files, materials and Confidential Information (excluding personal items obtained by the Employee in the course of his employment with the Corporation and that do not contain Confidential Information) are confidential and proprietary and shall remain the exclusive property of the Corporation or its Affiliates, as the case may be. The Employee will not, except in connection with and as required by his performance of his duties under this Agreement, for any reason use for his own benefit or the benefit of any Person or entity with which he may be associated or disclose any such Confidential Information to any Person for any reason or purpose whatsoever without the prior written consent of the Board unless such Confidential Information previously shall have become public knowledge through no action by or omission of the Employee.

 

ARTICLE IX
COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE

 

9.1          Covenant. Without limitation to any fiduciary or other legal responsibilities that the Employee may have to the Corporation, the Employee agrees that he will not, for as long as he is an employee of the Corporation directly or indirectly carry on, be engaged in, own, operate, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of or have any financial interest in or otherwise be connected with, any Person, or business (whether as an employee, officer, director, agent, security holder, creditor, consultant, or otherwise) that is or may be engaged in any business activity that is the same as, similar to, or competitive (directly or indirectly) with any radiation oncology business engaged in by the Corporation and/or its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed or construed to, or shall bar or preclude the Employee from acquiring directly or indirectly not more than five percent (5%) of the securities, by value or voting power, in any publicly-traded company that engages in any activity competitive with any activity engaged in by the Corporation and/or any of its Affiliates.

 

9.2          Non-Solicitation. The Employee hereby agrees that during his employment with the Corporation and for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of his employment, without the prior written consent of the Corporation, he shall not, on his own behalf or on behalf of any Person, directly or indirectly, hire or solicit the employment of any employee who has been employed by the Corporation and/or any of its Affiliates at any time during the six (6) months immediately preceding such date of hiring or solicitation.

 

9.3          Severability. The parties hereto agree that the covenants of non-competition contained herein are reasonable covenants under the circumstances. The

 

10



 

parties intend that the covenant contained in Section 9.1 be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each city, county, state, territory, possession or federal district of the United Sates covered by the covenant. Except for geographic coverage, each separate covenant will be considered identical in terms to the covenant contained in Section 9.1. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court refuses to enforce any of the separate covenants described in this Section 9.3, the unenforceable covenant will be considered eliminated from these provisions for the purpose of those proceedings to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants to be enforced. The Employee agrees that any breach of the covenants contained in this Article IX would irreparably injure the Corporation. Accordingly, the Employee agrees that the Corporation, in addition to pursuing any other remedies it may have at law or in equity, shall be entitled to obtain an injunction against him from any court having jurisdiction over the matter, restraining any further violation of this Article IX and/or withhold any further payments due to the Employee.

 

ARTICLE X
ASSIGNABILITY

 

The rights and obligations of the Corporation under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors or assigns of the Corporation. The Employee’s obligations hereunder may not be assigned or alienated and any attempt to do so by him will be void.

 

ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

11.1        Severance of Provision. If any provision of this Agreement otherwise is deemed to be invalid or unenforceable or is prohibited by the laws of the state or jurisdiction where it is to be performed, this Agreement shall be considered divisible as to such provision and such provision shall be inoperative in such state or jurisdiction and shall not be part of the consideration moving from either of the parties to the other. The remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be valid and binding and of like effect as though such provisions were not included.

 

11.2        Notice and Address. All notices, offers, acceptance and any other acts under this Agreement (except payment) shall be in writing, and shall be sufficiently given if delivered to the addresses in person, by Federal Express or similar receipted delivery, if mailed, postage prepaid, by certified mail return receipt requested (and in each case notice shall be deemed delivered and effective upon receipt thereof by the recipient), as follows:

11.10      Code Section 280G. The foregoing notwithstanding, to the extent that the total amounts payable to the Employee under this Agreement or any other plan or agreement would constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (as determined in good faith by the Corporation’s public accountants) then amounts payable under Section 4.6 shall be reduced to the extent necessary to avoid any such amounts constituting an excess parachute payment.

 

11.11      Code Section 409A. In the event that the Common Stock of the Corporation or Holdings becomes publicly-traded and in the event that any payments to the Employee under Section 4.6 constitute non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A, then the Corporation may delay payment of such amounts until the date that is 6 months and one day after the Employee’s termination of employment, to the extent required to comply with Code Section 409A.

Exhibit 10.12

 

FIRST AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

This first amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Employment Agreement by and between Oncure Medical Corp. (the “Corporation”) and Charles Joseph Stork (the “Employee”), dated as of December 17, 2008, is hereby made and entered into effective as of December 17, 2008, by and between the Corporation and the Employee.

 

WHEREAS, the Corporation and the Employee entered into the Employment Agreement dated as of March 1, 2008 (the “Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Corporation and the Employee desire to amend the Agreement to conform the Agreement to the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance thereunder.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements of the parties set forth in this Amendment, and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

 

1.             Section 11.11 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

 

11.11.             Compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

(a)   All payments of “nonqualified deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (together with Department of Treasury regulations and other official guidance issued thereunder, “Section 409A”)) are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, and shall be interpreted in accordance therewith.  No party individually or in combination with any other may accelerate any such deferred payment, except in compliance with Section 409A, and no amount shall be paid prior to the earliest date on which it is permitted to be paid under Section 409A.

 

(b)   Unless otherwise expressly provided, any payment of compensation by the Corporation to the Employee, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, shall be made within two and one-half months (2½ months) after the end of the later of the calendar year or the Corporation’s fiscal year in which the Employee’s right to such payment vests (i.e., is not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture for purposes of Section 409A).  Such amounts shall not be aggregated with any other payments and shall not be subject to the requirements of subsection (d) below applicable to “nonqualified deferred compensation.”

 

(c)   Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any payment or benefit constitutes non-exempt “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A, and such payment or benefit would otherwise be payable or distributable hereunder by reason of the Employee’s termination of employment, all references to the Employee’s termination of employment shall be construed to mean a “separation from service,” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) (a

 

1



 

Separation from Service”), and the Employee shall not be considered to have a termination of employment unless such termination constitutes a Separation from Service with respect to the Employee.  If this Section 11.11(c) applies, such payments or benefits that are subject to Section 409A shall be paid (or, in the event of any installment payments, shall commence to be paid) on the date that the Corporation determines within sixty (60) days following the date of the Employee’s Separation from Service.

 

(d)   Notwithstanding anything in Section 11.11(c) to the contrary, if the Employee is a “specified employee” on the date of the Employee’s Separation from Service, any benefit or payment that constitutes non-exempt “nonqualified deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A) shall be delayed in order to avoid a prohibited payment under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, and any such delayed payment shall be paid to the Employee in a lump sum during the ten (10) day period commencing on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of the Employee’s Separation from Service, or (ii) the Employee’s death.  To the greatest extent permitted under Section 409A, any separate payment or benefit under the Agreement will not be deemed to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A and the six-month delay requirement to the extent provided in the exceptions in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) or any other applicable exception or provision of Section 409A.

 

(e)   Section 11.11(d) above shall not apply to that portion of any amounts payable upon a Separation from Service which shall qualify as “involuntary severance” under Section 409A because such amount does not exceed the lesser of (1) two hundred percent (200%) of the Employee’s annualized compensation from the Corporation for the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year during which the Separation from Service occurs, or (2) two hundred percent (200%) of the annual limitation amount under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the calendar year during which the Separation from Service occurs.

 

(f)    With respect to any continuation healthcare coverage provided under the Agreement, if during the period of continuation coverage, any plan pursuant to which such benefits are provided ceases to be exempt from the application of Section 409A under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5), then an amount equal to each such remaining premium shall thereafter be paid to the Employee as currently taxable compensation in substantially equal monthly installments over the remainder of the continuation coverage period.

 

(g)   With respect to any reimbursements or in-kind benefits, such reimbursements or benefits shall be provided in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv), including the following:  (i) in no event shall such benefits or reimbursements be provided later than the last day of the Employee’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred or obligation arose, (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during the Employee’s taxable year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, in any other taxable year of the Employee, and (iii) the right to reimbursements or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

 

2



 

(h)   For purposes of this Agreement any installment payments made on separate dates shall be treated as a series of separate and distinct payments for purposes of Section 409A.

 

(i)    If the parties hereto determine that any payments or benefits payable under this Agreement intended to comply with Section 409A do not so comply, the Employee and the Corporation agree to amend this Agreement, or take such other actions as the Employee and the Corporation deem necessary or appropriate, to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, while preserving benefits that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable than the benefits as provided to the Employee under this Agreement.  If any provision of the Agreement would cause such payments or benefits to fail to so comply, such provision shall not be effective and shall be null and void with respect to such payments or benefits, and such provision shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no amendment may be made to this Agreement if it would cause the Agreement or any payment hereunder not to be in compliance with Code Section 409A.

 

2.             The Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.  This Amendment may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment on the date first written above.

Except for geographic coverage, each separate covenant will be considered identical in terms to the covenant contained in Section 9.1. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court refuses to enforce any of the separate covenants described in this Section 9.3, the unenforceable covenant will be considered eliminated from these provisions for the purpose of those proceedings to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants to be enforced. The Employee agrees that any breach of the covenants contained in this Article IX would irreparably injure the Corporation. Accordingly, the Employee agrees that the Corporation, in addition to pursuing any other remedies it may have at law or in equity, shall be entitled to obtain an injunction against him from any court having jurisdiction over the matter, restraining any further violation of this Article IX and/or withhold any further payments due to the Employee.

The bonus will be based upon the achievement by the Corporation of certain objectively determinable financial performance targets directly tied to revenue growth and EBITDA performance of the Corporation or such other objectives established by the Board or the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board. For each year of the Term, the Corporation shall adopt an annual bonus program affording the Employee an opportunity to earn bonuses equal to 100% of his annual base salary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive’s bonus for 2007 (i.e., $250,000 which is pro-rated for six months of service in 2007) shall be based upon the following criteria:

 

(a)          50% of the 2007 bonus ($125,000) shall be earned and payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Corporation’s 2007 Executive Incentive Plan based upon the Corporation earning $30.5 million of EBITDA for 2007; provided, however, certain expenses not budgeted during the 2007 budgeting process such as incremental salary and benefit expenses (i.e., CFO, CIO and VP of Recruiting); the engagement of The Breakaway Group; Delaware franchise taxes related to the 2006 formation of Holdings; the additional expense/accrual related to the change in auditors; and the amount of 2006 discretionary bonuses paid in excess of the 2006 bonus accrual shall be excluded from the calculation of EBITDA for 2007; and

 

(b)         50% of the 2007 bonus ($125,000) shall be based upon Executive’s successful completion of the following by December 31, 2007:

 

(i)                      hiring of a new Chief Financial Officer ($41,667);

 

(ii)                   identifying and securing the commitment of a qualified radiation oncologist to become the Corporation’s Medical Director ($41,667); and

 

(iii)                delivery to the Board of a written strategic plan for the Corporation ($41,667).”

 

Section 7.4            Options” is amended by deleting the first sentence thereof and replacing it with the following:

 

“On or as soon as reasonably practicable following the Employment Commencement Date, and subject to approval by the Compensation Committee or Board, the Employee will receive an option to purchase 773,574 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $3.50 per share, pursuant to the terms of Holdings’ Equity Incentive Plan (the “Stock Options”).”

Exhibit 10.16

 

SECOND AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

This second amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Employment Agreement by and between Oncure Medical Corp. (the “Corporation”) and David S. Chernow (the “Employee”), dated as of December 17, 2008, is hereby made and entered into effective as of December 17, 2008, by and between the Corporation and the Employee.

 

WHEREAS, the Corporation and the Employee entered into the Employment Agreement dated as of May 17, 2007 (the “Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Corporation and the Employee desire to amend the Agreement to conform the Agreement to the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance thereunder.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements of the parties set forth in this Amendment, and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

 

1.             Section 11.11 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

 

11.11.             Compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

(a)  All payments of “nonqualified deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (together with Department of Treasury regulations and other official guidance issued thereunder, “Section 409A”)) are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, and shall be interpreted in accordance therewith. No party individually or in combination with any other may accelerate any such deferred payment, except in compliance with Section 409A, and no amount shall be paid prior to the earliest date on which it is permitted to be paid under Section 409A.

 

(b)  Unless otherwise expressly provided, any payment of compensation by the Corporation to the Employee, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, shall be made within two and one-half months (21/2 months) after the end of the later of the calendar year or the Corporation’s fiscal year in which the Employee’s right to such payment vests (i.e., is not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture for purposes of Section 409A). Such amounts shall not be aggregated with any other payments and shall not be subject to the requirements of subsection (d) below applicable to “nonqualified deferred compensation.”

 

(c)  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any payment or benefit constitutes non-exempt “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A, and such payment or benefit would otherwise be payable or distributable hereunder by reason of the Employee’s termination of employment, all references to the Employee’s termination of employment shall be construed to mean a “separation from service,” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) (a

 

1



 

“Separation from Service”), and the Employee shall not be considered to have a termination of employment unless such termination constitutes a Separation from Service with respect to the Employee. If this Section 11.11(c) applies, such payments or benefits that are subject to Section 409A shall be paid (or, in the event of any installment payments, shall commence to be paid) on the date that the Corporation determines within sixty (60) days following the date of the Employee’s Separation from Service.

 

(d)  Notwithstanding anything in Section 11.11(c) to the contrary, if the Employee is a “specified employee” on the date of the Employee’s Separation from Service, any benefit or payment that constitutes non-exempt “nonqualified deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A) shall be delayed in order to avoid a prohibited payment under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, and any such delayed payment shall be paid to the Employee in a lump sum during the ten (10) day period commencing on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of the Employee’s Separation from Service, or (ii) the Employee’s death. To the greatest extent permitted under Section 409A, any separate payment or benefit under the Agreement will not be deemed to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A and the six-month delay requirement to the extent provided in the exceptions in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) or any other applicable exception or provision of Section 409A.

 

(e)  Section 11.11(d) above shall not apply to that portion of any amounts payable upon a Separation from Service which shall qualify as “involuntary severance” under Section 409A because such amount does not exceed the lesser of (1) two hundred percent (200%) of the Employee’s annualized compensation from the Corporation for the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year during which the Separation from Service occurs, or (2) two hundred percent (200%) of the annual limitation amount under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the calendar year during which the Separation from Service occurs.

 

(f)  With respect to any continuation healthcare coverage provided under the Agreement, if during the period of continuation coverage, any plan pursuant to which such benefits are provided ceases to be exempt from the application of Section 409A under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5), then an amount equal to each such remaining premium shall thereafter be paid to the Employee as currently taxable compensation in substantially equal monthly installments over the remainder of the continuation coverage period.

 

(g)  With respect to any reimbursements or in-kind benefits, such reimbursements or benefits shall be provided in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv), including the following: (i) in no event shall such benefits or reimbursements be provided later than the last day of the Employee’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred or obligation arose, (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during the Employee’s taxable year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, in any other taxable year of the Employee, and (iii) the right to reimbursements or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

 

2



 

(h)  For purposes of this Agreement any installment payments made on separate dates shall be treated as a series of separate and distinct payments for purposes of Section 409A.

 

(i)  If the parties hereto determine that any payments or benefits payable under this Agreement intended to comply with Section 409A do not so comply, the Employee and the Corporation agree to amend this Agreement, or take such other actions as the Employee and the Corporation deem necessary or appropriate, to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, while preserving benefits that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable than the benefits as provided to the Employee under this Agreement. If any provision of the Agreement would cause such payments or benefits to fail to so comply, such provision shall not be effective and shall be null and void with respect to such payments or benefits, and such provision shall otherwise remain in full force and effect. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no amendment may be made to this Agreement if it would cause the Agreement or any payment hereunder not to be in compliance with Code Section 409A.

 

2.             The Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof. This Amendment may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment on the date first written above.

Section 2.01           Administrator.  The Plan shall be administered by the Administrator.  For purposes of this Plan, the “Administrator” shall be the Board, unless the Board appoints a committee thereof to act in such capacity.  Appointment of committee members shall be effective upon acceptance of appointment.  Committee members may resign at any time by delivering written notice to the Board.  Vacancies in the committee shall be filled by the Board.  The Administrator may act only by a majority of its members, except that the Administrator (i) may authorize any one or more of its members or any officer of the Company to execute and deliver documents on behalf of the Administrator and (ii) so long as not otherwise required for the Plan to comply with Rule 16b-3 (unless the Administrator determines that Rule 16b-3 is not applicable to the Plan), may delegate to one or more officers or directors of the Company authority to grant Options to persons who are not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to Stock.

 

Section 2.02           Authority.  The Administrator shall grant Options to such individuals as the Administrator shall determine from time to time including but not limited to employees, directors, independent contractors and consultants.  In particular and without limitation, the Administrator, subject to the terms of the Plan, shall:

 

(a)           select the individuals to whom Options may be granted;

source shall be counted against the foregoing share limitation.  If any Option terminates or expires without being exercised in full, the shares issuable under such Option shall again be available for grant as Options.

 

Section 3.02           Adjustments.  In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, sale of substantial assets or other change in corporate structure affecting the Stock, such substitution or adjustments shall be made in the aggregate number of shares of Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan, in the number and exercise price of shares subject to outstanding Options, as may be determined to be appropriate by the Administrator, in its sole discretion; provided, that the number of shares subject to any Option shall always be rounded down to the nearest whole number.  With respect to Options intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options no adjustments shall be authorized pursuant to this Section 3.02 or any other provision of the Plan to the extent that such adjustment would cause the Option to fail to so qualify.

Article V.               Options.

 

Section 5.01           Types.  Any Option granted under the Plan shall be in such form as the Administrator may from time to time approve.  The Administrator shall have the authority to grant to any participant Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options.  Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the Company, its parent (within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code) or Subsidiaries.  Any portion of an Option that does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option shall constitute a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

 

Section 5.02           Terms and Conditions.  Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

(a)           Applicable Option Agreements.  As soon as practicable after the date of an Option grant, the Company and the participant shall enter into a written Option Agreement specifying the date of grant, the terms and conditions of the Option.  Option Agreements evidencing Incentive Stock Options shall contain such terms and conditions as may be necessary to meet the applicable provisions of Section 422 of the Code.

 

(b)           Option Term.  The term of each Option shall be fixed by the Administrator, but no Option shall be exercisable more than 10 years after the date the Option is granted.  If, at the time the Company grants an Incentive Stock Option the optionee owns directly or by attribution stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, or any Affiliate of the Company, the Incentive Stock Option shall not be exercisable more than five years after the date of grant.

 

(c)           Grant Date.  The Company may grant Options under the Plan at any time and from time to time before the Plan terminates.  The Administrator shall specify the date of grant or, if it fails to, the date of grant shall be the date of action taken by the Administrator to grant the Option; provided, that no Option may be exercised prior to execution of the applicable Option Agreement.  However, if an Option is approved in anticipation of employment, the date of grant shall be the date the intended optionee is first treated as an employee for payroll purposes.

 

(d)           Exercise Price.  The exercise price per share of common stock purchasable under an Option shall be equal at least to the Fair Market Value on the date of grant; provided, that if at the time the Company grants an Incentive Stock Option, the optionee owns directly or by attribution stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, or any Affiliate of the Company, the exercise price shall be not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value on the date the Incentive Stock Option is granted.

 

6



 

(e)           Exercisability.  Subject to the other provisions of the Plan, an Option shall be exercisable in its entirety at grant or at such times and in such amounts as are specified in the Option Agreement evidencing the Option.  The Administrator, in its absolute discretion, at any time may waive any limitations respecting the time at which an Option first becomes exercisable in whole or in part.  In the event of Termination, Options held at the date of Termination (and only to the extent then exercisable or payable, as the case may be) may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the period specified for post-termination exercise in the Option Agreement (but in no event after the expiration date of the Option), but not thereafter.

 

(f)            Method of Exercise; Payment.  To the extent the right to purchase shares has accrued and the Option has vested, Options may be exercised, in whole or in part, from time to time, by written notice from the optionee to the Company stating the number of shares being purchased, accompanied by payment of the exercise price for the shares.  The exercise price may be paid in (i) cash, (ii) by check, (iii) with the consent of the Administrator, a full recourse promissory note bearing interest (at no less than such rate as shall then preclude the imputation of interest under the Code) and payable upon such terms as may be prescribed by the Administrator, or (iv) with the consent of the Administrator, surrender of a number of shares of Stock with a Fair Market Value equal to the exercise price.

 

(g)           No Disqualification.  Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, no term of the Plan relating to Incentive Stock Options shall be interpreted, amended or altered nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be exercised so as to disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code or, without the consent of the optionee affected, to disqualify any Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code.

 

Section 5.03           Tax Withholding.  The participant shall pay to the Company in cash, promptly when the amount of such obligations becomes determinable, all applicable federal, state, local and foreign withholding taxes that the Administrator in its sole discretion determines to result upon exercise of an Option or from a transfer or other disposition of shares acquired upon exercise of an Option.

 

Article VI.              Change of Control.

 

In the event of a Change of Control, the following provisions shall apply:

 

(a)           in its sole and absolute discretion, the Administrator may provide that all Options outstanding as of the date of such Change in Control is determined to have occurred and not then exercisable and vested shall become fully exercisable and vested; and

 

7



 

(b)           in its sole and absolute discretion, the Administrator may provide prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control either (i) that the Option shall be assumed by the successor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar Options covering the stock of any successor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices, or (ii) that the participant shall receive in cash the value of the vested Options (less the exercise price and tax withholding thereon) in exchange for the surrender of such Option.

 

Article VII.             Restrictions.

 

The Stock acquired upon exercise of an Option shall be subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in either the Investor Rights Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Investors Agreement”) or the Stockholders Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Stockholders Agreement”) or such other investors agreement or stockholders agreement as the Company may require from time to time.  By exercise of the Option, the holder thereof shall be deemed to have consented to be bound by the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Investors Agreement or Stockholders Agreement, as applicable, and to become a signatory thereto.

 

Article VIII.           General Provisions.

 

Section 8.01           Certificates.  The Company may choose to evidence the Stock in book entry form or by certificates. All certificates for shares of Stock or other securities delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stock transfer orders, legends and other restrictions as the Administrator may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Stock is then listed and any applicable federal, state or foreign securities law.

 

Section 8.02           No Transferability.  No Option shall be assignable or otherwise transferable by the participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and during the life of a participant, an Option shall be exercisable, and any elections with respect to an Option may be made, only by the participant or participant’s guardian or legal representative.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.02, the Administrator may provide that Options may be transferred to Immediate Family; provided, however, that any such transfer is without payment of any consideration whatsoever, that no such transfer shall be valid unless first approved by the Administrator, acting in its sole discretion, and that any Option so transferred shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of the Option Agreement.  The Administrator may require the participant to give the Company prompt notice of any disposition of shares of Stock, acquired by exercise of an Incentive Stock Option within two years from the date of granting such option or one year after the transfer of such shares to such participant.  The Administrator may direct that the certificates evidencing shares acquired by exercise of an Option refer to such requirement to give prompt notice of disposition.

 

Section 8.03           Right of First Refusal.  At the time of grant, the Administrator may provide in connection with any Option that the shares of Stock received as a result of the

 

8



 

exercise of such Option shall be subject to a right of first refusal pursuant to which the participant shall be required to offer to the Company any shares that the participant wishes to sell at the then Fair Market Value of the Stock or at such other price as may be set forth in the applicable Option Agreement, subject to such other terms and conditions as the Administrator may specify at the time of grant.

 

Section 8.04           Non-Competition.  The Administrator may condition the grant of an Option or the Administrator’s discretionary waiver of a forfeiture or vesting acceleration at the time of Termination of a participant holding any unexercised Option upon a requirement that such participant agree to and actually (i) not engage in any business or activity competitive with any business or activity conducted by the Company and (ii) be available, unless such participant shall have died, for consultations at the request of the Company’s management, all on such terms and conditions (including conditions in addition to (i) and (ii)) as the Administrator may determine.

 

Section 8.05           Regulatory Compliance.  Each Option granted under the Plan shall be subject to the condition that, if at any time the Administrator shall determine that (i) the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Stock upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, (ii) the consent or approval of any government or regulatory body or (iii) an agreement or representations by the participant with respect thereto, is necessary or desirable, then such Option shall not be exercisable in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent, approval, agreement or representations shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Administrator.

 

Section 8.06           Rights as Stockholder.  A participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by an Option until the Option is exercised and the participant has received such shares.

 

Section 8.07           Beneficiary Designation.  The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may establish procedures for a participant to designate a beneficiary to whom any amounts payable in the event of the participant’s death are to be paid.

 

Section 8.08           No Employment Rights.  The adoption of the Plan shall not confer upon any employee any right to continued employment nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company, a Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate the employment of any employee at any time.

 

Section 8.09           Rule 16b-3.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan, the Plan shall always be administered, and Options shall always be granted and exercised, in such a manner as to conform to the provisions of Rule 16b-3, unless the Administrator determines that Rule 16b-3 is not applicable to the Plan at the time of such administration, grant or exercise.

Section 8.13           Section 409A.  To the extent that the Administrator determines that any Option granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the option agreement evidencing such grant shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A of the Code.  To the extent applicable, the Plan and all Option agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the effective date of this Plan.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the effective date of this Plan the Administrator determines that any Option may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the effective date of this Plan), the Administrator may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Option agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Option from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Option, or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance.

 

Article IX.              Amendments and Termination.

 

The Board may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration or discontinuance shall be made which would impair the rights of a participant under an outstanding Option without the participant’s consent.  In addition, to the extent required for the Plan to comply with Rule 16b-3 or, with respect to provisions solely as they relate to Incentive Stock Options, to the extent required for the Plan to comply with Section 422 of the Code, an amendment or alteration of the Plan by the Board will be subject to stockholder approval, where such amendment or alteration would:

 

(a)           except as expressly provided in the Plan, increase the total number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan;

Section 2.05              Special Tax Consequences.  The Optionee acknowledges that, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time the Option is granted) of all shares of Common Stock with respect to which ISOs, including the Option, are exercisable for the first time by the Optionee in any calendar year exceeds $100,000, the Option and such other options shall be Non-Qualified Stock Options to the extent necessary to comply with the limitations imposed by Section 422(d) of the Code.  The Optionee further acknowledges that the

Section 3.04              Restriction on Transfer.  Regardless whether the sale of the ISO Shares has been registered under the Securities Act or has been registered or qualified under the securities laws of any state, the Company may impose restrictions upon the sale, pledge or other transfer of ISO Shares (including the placement of appropriate legends on stock certificates) if, in the judgment of the Company and the Company’s counsel, such restrictions are necessary or desirable in order to achieve compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the securities laws of any state or any other law.

 

Section 3.05              Stock Certificate Restrictive Legends.  Stock certificates evidencing ISO Shares may bear such restrictive legends as the Company and the Company’s counsel deem necessary or advisable under applicable law or pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, the following legends:

Article IV.        Miscellaneous

 

Section 4.01              Taxes.  Optionee acknowledges and agrees that Optionee will be responsible for any taxes arising from exercise of this Option and that the Company may withhold the amount of such taxes or require the remittance of such taxes to the Company.

 

Section 4.02              Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Acknowledgments of Optionee Upon Exercise of ISO.  Optionee hereby agrees that in the event that the Company and the Company’s counsel deem it necessary or advisable in the exercise of their discretion, the issuance of ISO Shares may be conditioned upon certain representations, warranties and acknowledgments by the person exercising the ISO (the “Purchaser”), including, without limitation, those set forth in Sections 4.02 (a) through (h) hereof:

 

(a)   Investment.  Purchaser is acquiring the ISO Shares for Purchaser’s own account and not for the account of any other person.  Purchaser is acquiring the ISO Shares for investment and not with a view to distribution or resale thereof except in compliance with applicable laws regulating securities.

 

(b)   Business Experience.  Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of Purchaser’s investment in the Company evidenced by purchase of the ISO Shares.

 

(c)   Relation to Company.  Purchaser is presently an officer, director or employee of, or a consultant to, the Company and in such capacity has become personally familiar with the business, affairs, financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

 

(d)   Access to Information.  Purchaser has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, appropriate executive officers of the Company with respect to the terms and conditions of the transaction contemplated hereby and with respect to the business, affairs, financial condition and results of operations of the Company.  Purchaser has had access to such financial and other information as is necessary in order for Purchaser to make a fully-informed decision as to investment in the Company by way of purchase of the ISO Shares and has had the

 

5



 

opportunity to obtain any additional information necessary to verify any of such information to which Purchaser has had access.

 

(e)   Speculative Investment.  Purchaser’s investment in the Company represented by the ISO Shares is highly speculative in nature and is subject to a high degree of risk of loss in whole or in part.  The amount of such investment is within Purchaser’s risk capital means and is not so great in relation to Purchaser’s total financial resources as would jeopardize the personal financial needs of Purchaser or Purchaser’s family in the event such investment were lost in whole or in part.

 

(f)    Registration.  Purchaser must bear the economic risk of investment for an indefinite period of time because the sale to Purchaser of the ISO Shares has not been registered under the Securities Act and the ISO Shares cannot be transferred by Purchaser unless such transfer is registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available.  The Company has made no agreements, covenants or undertakings whatsoever to register the transfer of any of the ISO Shares under the Securities Act.  The Company has made no representations, warranties or covenants whatsoever as to whether any exemption from the Securities Act, including without limitation any exemption for limited sales in routine brokers’ transactions pursuant to Rule 144, will be available; if the exemption under Rule 144 is available at all, it may not be available until at least two years after payment of cash for the ISO Shares and not then unless: (i) a public trading market then exists in the Company’s common stock; (ii) adequate information as to the Company’s financial and other affairs and operations is then available to the public; and (iii) all other terms and conditions of Rule 144 have been satisfied.

 

(g)   Public Trading.  None of the Company’s securities is presently publicly traded, and the Company has made no representation, covenant or agreement as to whether there will be a public market for any of its securities.

 

(h)   Tax Advice.  The Company has made no warranties or representations to Purchaser with respect to the income tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by the option agreement pursuant to which the ISO Shares will be purchased, and Purchaser is in no manner relying on the Company or the Company’s representatives for an assessment of such tax consequences.

 

Section 4.03           Assignment; Binding Effect.  Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the executors, administrators, heirs, legal representatives and successors of the parties hereto; provided, however, that Optionee may not assign any of Optionee’s rights under this Agreement.

 

6



 

Section 4.04           Damages.  Optionee shall be liable to the Company for all costs and damages, including incidental and consequential damages, resulting from a disposition of shares which is not in conformity with the provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 4.05           Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

 

Section 4.06           Notices.  All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing.  Unless and until the Optionee is notified in writing to the contrary, all notices, communications and documents directed to the Company at its corporate headquarters. Unless and until the Company is notified in writing to the contrary, all notices, communications and documents intended for the Optionee and related to this Agreement, if not delivered by hand, shall be mailed to Optionee’s last known address as shown on the Company’s books.  Notices and communications shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid; documents shall be mailed by registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.  All mailings and deliveries related to this Agreement shall be deemed received only when actually received.

(d)   Access to Information.  Purchaser has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, appropriate executive officers of the Company with respect to the terms and conditions of the transaction contemplated hereby and with respect to the business, affairs, financial condition and results of operations of the Company.  Purchaser has had access to such financial and other information as is necessary in order for Purchaser to make a fully-informed decision as to investment in the Company by way of purchase of the ISO Shares and has had the opportunity to obtain any additional information necessary to verify any of such information to which Purchaser has had access.

 

(e)   Speculative Investment.  Purchaser’s investment in the Company represented by the ISO Shares is highly speculative in nature and is subject to a high degree of risk of loss in whole or in part.  The amount of such investment is within Purchaser’s risk capital means and is not so great in relation to Purchaser’s total financial resources as would jeopardize the personal financial needs of Purchaser or Purchaser’s family in the event such investment were lost in whole or in part.

 

(f)    Registration.  Purchaser must bear the economic risk of investment for an indefinite period of time because the sale to Purchaser of the ISO Shares has not been registered under the Securities Act and the ISO Shares cannot be transferred by Purchaser unless such transfer is registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available.  The Company has made no agreements, covenants or undertakings whatsoever to register the transfer of any of the ISO Shares under the Securities Act.  The Company has made no representations, warranties or covenants whatsoever as to whether any exemption from the Securities Act, including without limitation any exemption for limited sales in routine brokers’ transactions pursuant to Rule 144, will be available; if the exemption under Rule 144 is available at all, it may not be available until at least two years after payment of cash for the ISO Shares and not then unless: (i) a public trading market then exists in the Company’s common stock; (ii) adequate information as to the Company’s financial and other affairs and operations is then available to the public; and (iii) all other terms and conditions of Rule 144 have been satisfied.

 

6



 

(g)   Public Trading.  None of the Company’s securities is presently publicly traded, and the Company has made no representation, covenant or agreement as to whether there will be a public market for any of its securities.

 

(h)   Tax Advice.  The Company has made no warranties or representations to Purchaser with respect to the income tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by the option agreement pursuant to which the ISO Shares will be purchased, and Purchaser is in no manner relying on the Company or the Company’s representatives for an assessment of such tax consequences.

 

Section 4.03           Assignment; Binding Effect.  Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the executors, administrators, heirs, legal representatives and successors of the parties hereto; provided, however, that Optionee may not assign any of Optionee’s rights under this Agreement.

 

Section 4.04           Damages.  Optionee shall be liable to the Company for all costs and damages, including incidental and consequential damages, resulting from a disposition of shares which is not in conformity with the provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 4.05           Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

 

Section 4.06           Notices.  All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing.  Unless and until the Optionee is notified in writing to the contrary, all notices, communications and documents directed to the Company at its corporate headquarters. Unless and until the Company is notified in writing to the contrary, all notices, communications and documents intended for the Optionee and related to this Agreement, if not delivered by hand, shall be mailed to Optionee’s last known address as shown on the Company’s books.  Notices and communications shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid; documents shall be mailed by registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.  All mailings and deliveries related to this Agreement shall be deemed received only when actually received.

THE TRANSFER, SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS RESTRICTED BY THE INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT AMONG THE COMPANY AND ITS STOCKHOLDERS, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE OFFICE OF THE COMPANY.  THE COMPANY WILL FURNISH A COPY OF THE INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT TO THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE UPON REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE.  THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT FOR RESALE OR DISTRIBUTION, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED UNLESS IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER WILL NOT VIOLATE APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS.

 

Article IV.                                        Miscellaneous.

 

Section 4.01                                Taxes.  Optionee acknowledges and agrees that Optionee will be responsible for any taxes arising from exercise of this Option and that the Company may withhold the amount of such taxes or require the remittance of such taxes to the Company.

 

Section 4.02                                Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Acknowledgments of Optionee Upon Exercise of NQO.  Optionee hereby agrees that in the event that the Company and the Company’s counsel deem it necessary or advisable in the exercise of their discretion, the issuance of NQO Shares may be conditioned upon certain representations, warranties and acknowledgments by the person exercising the NQO (the “Purchaser”), including, without limitation, those set forth in Sections 4.02 (a) through (h) hereof:

 

(a)                                  Investment.  Purchaser is acquiring the NQO Shares for Purchaser’s own account and not for the account of any other person. Purchaser is acquiring the NQO Shares for investment and not with a view to distribution or resale thereof except in compliance with applicable laws regulating securities.

 

(b)                                 Business Experience.  Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of Purchaser’s investment in the Company evidenced by purchase of the NQO Shares.

 

4



 

(c)                                  Relation to Company.  Purchaser is presently an officer, director or employee of, or a consultant to, the Company and in such capacity has become personally familiar with the business, affairs, financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

 

(d)                                 Access to Information.  Purchaser has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, appropriate executive officers of the Company with respect to the terms and conditions of the transaction contemplated hereby and with respect to the business, affairs, financial condition and results of operations of the Company.  Purchaser has had access to such financial and other information as is necessary in order for Purchaser to make a fully-informed decision as to investment in the Company by way of purchase of the NQO Shares and has had the opportunity to obtain any additional information necessary to verify any of such information to which Purchaser has had access.

 

(e)                                  Speculative Investment.  Purchaser’s investment in the Company represented by the NQO Shares is highly speculative in nature and is subject to a high degree of risk of loss in whole or in part.  The amount of such investment is within Purchaser’s risk capital means and is not so great in relation to Purchaser’s total financial resources as would jeopardize the personal financial needs of Purchaser or Purchaser’s family in the event such investment were lost in whole or in part.

 

(f)                                    Registration.  Purchaser must bear the economic risk of investment for an indefinite period of time because the sale to Purchaser of the NQO Shares has not been registered under the Securities Act and the NQO Shares cannot be transferred by Purchaser unless such transfer is registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available.  The Company has made no agreements, covenants or undertakings whatsoever to register the transfer of any of the NQO Shares under the Securities Act.  The Company has made no representations, warranties or covenants whatsoever as to whether any exemption from the Securities Act, including without limitation any exemption for limited sales in routine brokers’ transactions pursuant to Rule 144, will be available; if the exemption under Rule 144 is available at all, it may not be available until at least two years after payment of cash for the NQO Shares and not then unless: (i) a public trading market then exists in the Company’s common stock; (ii) adequate information as to the Company’s financial and other affairs and operations is then available to the public; and (iii) all other terms and conditions of Rule 144 have been satisfied.

 

(g)                                 Public Trading.  None of the Company’s securities is presently publicly traded, and the Company has made no representation, covenant or agreement as to whether there will be a public market for any of its securities.

 

5



 

(h)                                 Tax Advice.  The Company has made no warranties or representations to Purchaser with respect to the income tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by the option agreement pursuant to which the NQO Shares will be purchased, and Purchaser is in no manner relying on the Company or the Company’s representatives for an assessment of such tax consequences.

 

Section 4.03                                Assignment; Binding Effect.  Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the executors, administrators, heirs, legal representatives and successors of the parties hereto; provided, however, that Optionee may not assign any of Optionee’s rights under this Agreement.

 

Section 4.04                                Damages.  Optionee shall be liable to the Company for all costs and damages, including incidental and consequential damages, resulting from a disposition of shares which is not in conformity with the provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 4.05                                Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

 

Section 4.06                                Notices.  All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing.  Unless and until the Optionee is notified in writing to the contrary, all notices, communications and documents shall be directed to the Company at its corporate headquarters.  Unless and until the Company is notified in writing to the contrary, all notices, communications and documents intended for the Optionee and related to this Agreement, if not delivered by hand, shall be mailed to Optionee’s last known address as shown on the Company’s books.  Notices and communications shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid; documents shall be mailed by registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.  All mailings and deliveries related to this Agreement shall be deemed received only when actually received.

Exhibit 10.24

 

 

Amended

OnCure Holdings, Inc.

2009 Executive Incentive Plan *

 

A.            Purpose

 

The purpose of the Amended Executive Incentive Plan (“Plan”) is to reward executive officers of OnCure Holdings, Inc. (“Company”) and senior managers of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Oncure Medical Corp. which are party to an employment agreement with Oncure Medical Corp. and/or listed in the table in Section F. below (individually a, “Participant” and collectively, the “Participants”) for enhancing the value of the Company by rewarding the Participant for actions taken to achieve the Company’s EBITDA targets.

 

B.                                     Eligible Participants

 

The eligible Participants of the Plan are the Company’s executive officers as well as the senior managers of Oncure Medical Corp. party to an employment agreement with Oncure Medical Corp. and/or listed in the table in Section F. below.  The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (“Compensation Committee”) has sole discretion of defining the eligible Participants and retains the right to modify the Plan.

 

Under the Plan, a Participant is eligible to receive the annual bonus payment earned for the full year of 2009 provided that the Participant is employed by the Company for the entirety of 2009. In addition, a Participant must be an employee of the Company on the date that annual bonus payments are declared by the Compensation Committee pursuant to Section E below in order to be eligible to receive a bonus payment under the Plan.

 

A Participant who commences employment with the Company subsequent to January 1, 2009 will be eligible for a pro-rated portion of the Target Bonus as long as the Participant is employed by the Company on or before October 1, 2009 and is employed by the Company continuously through the date that annual bonus payments are declared by the Compensation Committee.

 

C.            Term of the Plan

 

The Plan is effective as of January 1, 2009 and governs annual bonus payments to Participant’s related to the 2009 calendar year EBITDA.

 

D.            Target Bonus

 

The Target Bonus is the product of a Participant’s base salary (the higher of base salary stated in a Participant’s employment agreement; actual gross base salary paid in 2009; or base annual salary in effect on February 28, 2009) multiplied by a percentage (subject to adjustment provided for below in Section F) of the Participant’s base salary as agreed to by the Compensation Committee or established in an employment agreement or written offer letter with a Participant.

 


* As Amended by the Compensation Committee on March 27, 2009.

 



 

E.             Payment Schedule

 

The Company will calculate the annual bonus based on full-year 2009 results.  The payment of the annual bonus will be made within thirty (30) days of the following:  (1) the completion of the annual audit of the Company’s financial statements by its independent auditors; and (2) declaration of bonuses by the Compensation Committee.   In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan adopted August 18, 2006), pro rata interim bonuses will be paid to the Participants employed by the Company on the date of the Change of Control if the entity purchasing a controlling interest in the Company does not assume the obligations under this Plan.  Any pro rata interim bonuses paid in connection with a Change in Control will be based upon the Company’s unaudited financial results compared to plan for the most recent month-end prior to the Change of Control   and declared by the Compensation Committee and remitted to the Participants within forty-five (45) days of the Change of Control.  Any annual bonus paid under this Plan shall be reduced by any interim bonus previously paid.  If the entity purchasing a controlling interest in the Company assumes the obligations under this Plan in connection with such Change of Control, the Participants shall not be entitled to the payment of any pro rata interim bonus.

 

Other Terms and Conditions

 

1.                                       The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors governs the Plan.  If any disagreements arise regarding the interpretation of the provisions of the Plan, the Compensation Committee has the sole discretion to interpret the Plan’s provisions.

 

2.                                       The Compensation Committee has the right to grant discretionary payments under the Plan at its sole discretion.  The Compensation Committee acknowledges that each of the Participants and the other members of the Company’s management team holding a position of a Vice President agreed to a ten percent (10%) temporary reduction in base salary effective March 1, 2009.  In the event the Company’s financial results for 2009 comply with or exceed the requirements contained within the Company’s senior and subordinated credit facilities, the Compensation Committee agrees that the amount of base salary foregone by each Participant and Vice President shall be paid to each person in a lump sum within ten (10) days of confirmation that the Company complied with the financial covenants contained in the credit facilities (or such earlier time as determined in the discretion of the Compensation Committee) contingent upon the respective Participant or Vice President being employed by the Company on December 31, 2009.

 

3.                                       The Plan sets forth the entire Executive Incentive Plan for the 2009 calendar year and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous oral and written agreements (other than written employment agreements or commitments in written offer letters), understandings, and representations, if any, with respect to the components of Participant bonus and/or the calculation and payment of Participant bonus.

 

F.                                      Methodology for Calculation

 

As illustrated below, for every 1% variance of the actual fiscal year EBITDA either above or below the $43 million target (excluding (i) costs agreed to by the Administrative Agent for the Company’s lenders as an exclusion from EBITDA, (ii) any unbudgeted costs approved by the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors as an exclusion from EBITDA and (iii) any overachievement earned as a result of this Compensation Plan), there will be a variance in the amount of each Participant’s target bonus achievement paid, subject to a minimum achievement of $41 million of EBITDA.  If the actual fiscal year 2009 EBITDA is below $41 million, no corporate bonuses will be earned.  The percentage achievement above the target EBITDA of $43 million will not be subject to a maximum cap.  A Participant will be awarded a percentage of his or her target based on the following schedule:

(b)           Pro Forma.  All components of financial calculations made to determine compliance with Article 5 shall be adjusted on a Pro Forma Basis to include or exclude, as the case may be, without duplication, such components of such calculations attributable to any Pro Forma Transaction consummated after the first day of the applicable period of determination and prior to the end of such period, as determined in good faith by the Borrower based on assumptions expressed therein and that were reasonable based on the information available to the Borrower at the time of preparation of the Compliance Certificate setting forth such calculations.

 

Section 1.4             Payments.  The Administrative Agent may set up standards and procedures to determine or redetermine the equivalent in Dollars of any amount expressed in any currency other than Dollars and otherwise may, but shall not be obligated to, rely on any determination made by any Loan Party or any L/C Issuer.  Any such determination or redetermination by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.  No determination or redetermination by any Secured Party or Loan Party and no other currency conversion shall change or release any obligation of any Loan Party or of any Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent and its Related Persons) under any Loan Document, each of which agrees to pay separately for any shortfall remaining after any conversion and payment of the amount as converted.  The Administrative Agent may round up or down, and may set up appropriate mechanisms to round up or down, any amount hereunder to nearest higher or lower amounts and may determine reasonable de minimis payment thresholds.

 

Section 1.5             Interpretation.  (a) Certain Terms.  Except as set forth in any Loan Document, all accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP (except for the term “property”, which shall be interpreted as broadly as possible, including, in any case, cash, Securities, other assets, rights under Contractual Obligations and

 

34



 

Permits and any right or interest in any property).  The terms “herein”, “hereof” and similar terms refer to this Agreement as a whole.  In the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date in any Loan Document, the terms “from” means “from and including” and the words “to” and “until” each mean “to but excluding” and the word “through” means “to and including.”  In any other case, the term “including” when used in any Loan Document means “including without limitation.”  The term “documents” means all writings, however evidenced and whether in physical or electronic form, including all documents, instruments, agreements, notices, demands, certificates, forms, financial statements, opinions and reports.  The term “incur” means incur, create, make, issue, assume or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable in respect of or responsible for, in each case whether directly or indirectly, and the terms “incurrence” and “incurred” and similar derivatives shall have correlative meanings.

ARTICLE 2
THE FACILITIES

 

Section 2.1             The Commitments.  (a) Revolving Credit Commitments.  On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, each Revolving Credit Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees to make loans in Dollars (each a “Revolving Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until the Revolving Credit Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding for all such loans by such Lender not to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, that at no time shall any Revolving Credit Lender be obligated to make a Revolving Loan in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which the then effective Revolving Credit Commitments exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings at such time.  Within the limits set forth in the first sentence of this clause (a), amounts of Revolving Loans repaid may be reborrowed under this Section 2.1.

 

(b)           Reserved.

Section 2.2             Borrowing Procedures.  (a) Notice From the Borrower.  Each Borrowing shall be made on notice given by the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on (i) on the day of such proposed borrowing, in the case of Base Rate Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to or less than $5,000,000, (ii) on the Business Day prior to such proposed borrowing, in the case of Base Rate Loans in an aggregate principal amount greater than $5,000,000 and (iii) the third Business Day, in the case of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing.  Each such notice may be made in a writing substantially in the form of Exhibit C (a “Notice of Borrowing”) duly completed or by telephone if confirmed promptly, but in any event within one Business Day and prior to such Borrowing, with such a Notice of Borrowing.  Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans unless, outside of a suspension period pursuant to Section 2.15, the Notice of Borrowing specifies that all or a portion thereof shall be Eurodollar Rate Loans.  Each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000.  No Borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Loan with any Interest Period longer than one month shall be made prior to the Syndication Completion Date.

 

(b)           Notice to Each Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall give to each Lender prompt notice of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a Notice of Borrowing and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are properly requested in such Notice of Borrowing, prompt notice of the applicable interest rate.  Each Lender shall, before 1:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 11.11, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such proposed Borrowing.  Upon fulfillment or due waiver (i) on the Closing Date, of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.1 and (ii) on the Closing Date and any time thereafter, of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.2, the Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to the Borrower.

 

(c)           Non-Funding Lenders.

 

(i)            Non-Funding Lenders Responsibility.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any Lender prior to the date such Lender is required to make any payment hereunder with respect to any Loan or any participation in any Swing Loan or Letter of Credit that such Lender will not make such payment (or any portion thereof) available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such payment available to the Administrative Agent on the date such payment is required to be made in accordance with this Article 2 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.  The Borrower agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent on demand such amount (until repaid by such Lender) with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate applicable to the Obligation that would have been created when the Administrative Agent made available such amount to the Borrower had such Lender made a corresponding payment available; provided, however, that such payment shall not relieve such Lender of any obligation it may have to the Borrower, the Swingline Lender or any L/C Issuer.  In addition, any Lender that shall not have made available to the Administrative Agent any portion of any payment described above agrees to pay such amount to the Administrative Agent on demand together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount

 

36



 

is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter (a) in the case of a payment in respect of a Loan, at the interest rate applicable at the time to such Loan and (b) otherwise, at the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility.  Such repayment shall then constitute the funding of the corresponding Loan (including any Loan deemed to have been made hereunder with such payment) or participation.  The existence of any Non-Funding Lender shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations under any Loan Document, but no other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any payment required under any Loan Document other than as expressly set forth herein.

 

(ii)           Reallocation.  If any Revolving Credit Lender is a Non-Funding Lender, all or a portion of such Non-Funding Lender’s L/C Obligations (unless such Lender is the L/C Issuer that issued such Letter of Credit) and reimbursement obligations with respect to Swing Loans shall, at the Administrative Agent’s election at any time or upon any L/C Issuer’s or Swingline Lender’s, as applicable, written request delivered to the Administrative Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default), be reallocated to and assumed by the Revolving Credit Lenders that are not Non-Funding Lenders or Impacted Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans (calculated as if the Non-Funding Lender’s Pro Rata Share was reduced to zero and each other Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share had been increased proportionately), provided that no Revolving Credit Lender shall be reallocated any such amounts or be required to fund any amounts that would cause the sum of its outstanding Revolving Loans, outstanding L/C Obligations, amounts of its participations in Swing Loans and its pro rata share of unparticipated amounts in Swing Loans to exceed its Revolving Credit Commitment.

 

(iii)          Borrower Payments to a Non-Funding Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to hold, in a non-interest bearing account, all portions of any payments received by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of any Non-Funding Lender pursuant to this Agreement as cash collateral.  The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to use such cash collateral to pay in full the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount to the appropriate Secured Parties thereof, and then, to hold as cash collateral the amount of such Non-Funding Lender’s pro rata share, without giving effect to any reallocation pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(ii), of all L/C Obligations until the Obligations are paid in full in cash, all L/C Obligations have been discharged or cash collateralized and all Commitments have been terminated.  Upon any such unfunded obligations owing by a Non-Funding Lender becoming due and payable, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to use such cash collateral to make such payment on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender.  With respect to such Non-Funding Lender’s failure to fund Revolving Loans or purchase participations in Letters of Credit or L/C Obligations, any amounts applied by the Administrative Agent to satisfy such funding shortfalls shall be deemed to constitute a Revolving Loan or amount of the participation required to be funded and, if necessary to effectuate the foregoing, the other Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have sold, and such Non-Funding Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit participation interests from the other Revolving Credit Lenders until such time as the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loans and

 

37



 

participations in Letters of Credit and L/C Obligations are held by the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility.  Any amounts owing by a Non-Funding Lender to the Administrative Agent which are not paid when due shall accrue interest at the interest rate applicable during such period to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans.  In the event that the Administrative Agent is holding cash collateral of a Non-Funding Lender that cures pursuant to clause (iv) below or ceases to be a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to the definition of Non-Funding Lender, the Administrative Agent shall return the unused portion of such cash collateral to such Lender. The “Aggregate Excess Funding Amount” of a Non-Funding Lender shall be the aggregate amount of (A) all unpaid obligations owing by such Lender to the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuers, Swingline Lender, and other Lenders under the Loan Documents, including such Lender’s pro rata share of all Revolving Loans, L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans, plus, without duplication, (B) all amounts of such Non-Funding Lender reallocated to other Lenders pursuant to subsection Section 2.2(c)(ii).

 

(iv)          Cure.  A Lender may cure its status as a Non-Funding Lender under clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lender if such Lender fully pays to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the applicable Secured Parties, the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount, plus all interest due thereon.  Any such cure shall not relieve any Lender from liability for breaching its contractual obligations hereunder.

 

(v)           Fees.  A Lender that is a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lender shall not earn and shall not be entitled to receive, and the Borrower shall not be required to pay, such Lender’s portion of the Unused Commitment Fee during the time such Lender is a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to clause (a) thereof.  In the event that any reallocation of L/C Obligations occurs pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(ii)), during the period of time that such reallocation remains in effect, the Letter of Credit Fee payable with respect to such reallocated portion shall be payable to (A) all Revolving Credit Lenders based on their pro rata share of such reallocation or (B) to the L/C Issuer for any remaining portion not reallocated to any other Revolving Credit Lenders.

 

Section 2.3             Swing Loans.  (a) Availability.  On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, make loans in Dollars (each a “Swing Loan”) available to the Borrower under the Revolving Credit Facility from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until the Revolving Credit Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed its Swingline Commitment; provided, however, that the Swingline Lender may not make any Swing Loan (x) to the extent that after giving effect to such Swing Loan, the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments and (y) in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 3.2 are not satisfied and ending when such conditions are satisfied or duly waived.  In connection with the making of any Swing Loan, the Swingline Lender may but shall not be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 have been satisfied or waived.  Each Swing Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan and must

 

38



 

be repaid in full on the earliest of (i) the funding date of any Borrowing of Revolving Loans and (ii) the Revolving Credit Termination Date.  Within the limits set forth in the first sentence of this clause (a), amounts of Swing Loans repaid may be reborrowed under this clause (a).

 

(b)           Borrowing Procedures.  In order to request a Swing Loan, the Borrower Representative shall give to the Administrative Agent a notice to be received not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day of the proposed borrowing, which may be made in a writing substantially in the form of Exhibit D duly completed (a “Swingline Request”) or by telephone if confirmed promptly but, in any event, prior to such borrowing, with such a Swingline Request.  In addition, if any Notice of Borrowing requests a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, the Swing Line Lender may, notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in Section 2.2, make a Swing Loan available to the Borrower in an aggregate amount not to exceed such proposed Borrowing, and the aggregate amount of the corresponding proposed Borrowing shall be reduced accordingly by the principal amount of such Swing Loan.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Swingline Lender of the details of the requested Swing Loan.  Upon receipt of such notice and subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Swingline Lender may make a Swing Loan available to the Borrower by making the proceeds thereof available to the Administrative Agent and, in turn, the Administrative Agent shall make such proceeds available to the Borrower on the date set forth in the relevant Swingline Request.

 

(c)           Refinancing Swing Loans.  The Swingline Lender may at any time forward a demand to the Administrative Agent (which the Administrative Agent shall, upon receipt, forward to each Revolving Credit Lender) that each Revolving Credit Lender pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all or a portion of the outstanding Swing Loans.  Each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay such Pro Rata Share to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender.  Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such payment (other than during the continuation of any Event of Default under Section 9.1(e)), such Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to the Borrower, which, upon receipt of such payment by the Swingline Lender from the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall be deemed to have used in whole to refinance such Swing Loan.  In addition, regardless of whether any such demand is made, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 9.1(e), each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have acquired, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in each Swing Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swing Loan.  If any payment made by any Revolving Credit Lender as a result of any such demand is not deemed a Revolving Loan, such payment shall be deemed a funding by such Lender of such participation.  Such participation shall not be otherwise required to be funded.  Upon receipt by the Swingline Lender of any payment from any Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this clause (c) with respect to any portion of any Swing Loan, the Swingline Lender shall promptly pay over to such Revolving Credit Lender all payments of principal (to the extent received after such payment by such Lender) and interest (to the extent accrued with respect to periods after such payment) received by the Swingline Lender with respect to such portion.

 

(d)           Obligation to Fund Absolute.  Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligations pursuant to clause (c) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all

 

39



 

circumstances whatsoever, including (a) the existence of any setoff, claim, abatement, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender, any Affiliate thereof or any other Person may have against the Swing Loan Lender, any other Secured Party or any other Person, (b) the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 3.2 to be satisfied or the failure of the Borrower Representative to deliver any notice set forth in Section 2.2(a) (each of which requirements the Revolving Credit Lenders hereby irrevocably waive) and (c) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Loan Party.

 

Section 2.4             Letters of Credit.  (a) Commitment and Conditions.  On the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, each L/C Issuer agrees to Issue, at the request of the Borrower Representative, in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices, and for the account of the Borrower (or, as long as the Borrower remains responsible for the payment in full of all amounts drawn thereunder and related fees, costs and expenses, for the account of any Group Member), Letters of Credit (denominated in Dollars and with face amounts that are multiples of $1,000,000) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date through the earlier of the Revolving Credit Termination Date and 7 days prior to the Scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, however, that such L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any of the following, after giving effect to such Issuance:

 

(i)            (A) the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments or (B) the L/C Obligations for all Letters of Credit would exceed the L/C Sublimit;

 

(ii)           the expiration date of such Letter of Credit (A) is not a Business Day, (B) is more than one year after the date of issuance thereof or (C) is later than 7 days prior to the Scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit with a term not exceeding one year may provide for its renewal for additional periods not exceeding one year as long as (x) each of the Borrower and such L/C Issuer have the option to prevent such renewal before the expiration of such term or any such period and (y) neither such L/C Issuer nor the Borrower shall permit any such renewal to extend such expiration date beyond the date set forth in clause (C) above; or

 

(iii)          (A) any fee due in connection with, and on or prior to, such Issuance has not been paid, (B) such Letter of Credit is requested to be Issued in a form that is not acceptable to such L/C Issuer or (C) such L/C Issuer shall not have received, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to it and duly executed by the Borrower (and, if such Letter of Credit is issued for the account of any other Group Member, such Group Member), the documents that such L/C Issuer generally uses in the ordinary course of its business for the Issuance of letters of credit of the type of such Letter of Credit (collectively, the “L/C Reimbursement Agreement”).

 

For each such Issuance, the applicable L/C Issuer may, but shall not be required to, determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 have been satisfied or waived in connection with the Issuance of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that no Letter of Credit shall be Issued during the period starting on the first Business Day after the receipt by such L/C Issuer of notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving

 

40



 

Credit Lenders that any condition precedent contained in Section 3.2 is not satisfied and ending on the date all such conditions are satisfied or duly waived.

 

(b)           Notice of Issuance.  Borrower Representative shall give the relevant L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent a notice of any requested Issuance of any Letter of Credit, which shall be effective only if received by such L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on the third Business Day prior to the date of such requested Issuance.  Such notice may be made in a writing substantially the form of Exhibit E duly completed or in a writing in any other form acceptable to such L/C Issuer (an “L/C Request”) or by telephone if confirmed promptly, but in any event within one Business Day and prior to such Issuance, with such an L/C Request.

 

(c)           Reporting Obligations of L/C Issuers.  Each L/C Issuer agrees to provide the Administrative Agent (which, after receipt, the Administrative Agent shall provide to each Revolving Credit Lender), in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, each of the following on the following dates:  (i) on or prior to (A) any Issuance of any Letter of Credit by such L/C Issuer, (B) any drawing under any such Letter of Credit or (C) any payment (or failure to pay when due) by the Borrower of any related L/C Reimbursement Obligation, notice thereof, which shall contain a reasonably detailed description of such Issuance, drawing or payment, (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent (or any Revolving Credit Lender through the Administrative Agent), copies of any Letter of Credit Issued by such L/C Issuer and any related L/C Reimbursement Agreement and such other documents and information as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent and (iii) on the first Business Day of each calendar week, a schedule of the Letters of Credit Issued by such L/C Issuer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, setting forth the L/C Obligations for such Letters of Credit outstanding on the last Business Day of the previous calendar week.

 

(d)           Acquisition of Participations.  Upon any Issuance of a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement resulting in any increase in the L/C Obligations, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have acquired, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit and the related L/C Obligations in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such L/C Obligations.

 

(e)           Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the L/C Issuer of any Letter of Credit each L/C Reimbursement Obligation owing with respect to such Letter of Credit no later than the first Business Day after the Borrower receives notice from such L/C Issuer that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit or that such L/C Reimbursement Obligation is otherwise due (the “L/C Reimbursement Date”) with interest thereon computed as set forth in clause (i) below.  In the event that any L/C Issuer incurs any L/C Reimbursement Obligation not repaid by the Borrower as provided in this clause (e) (or any such payment by the Borrower is rescinded or set aside for any reason), such L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such failure (and, upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall forward a copy to each Revolving Credit Lender) and, irrespective of whether such notice is given, such L/C Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable on demand by the Borrower with interest thereon computed (i) from the date on which such L/C Reimbursement Obligation arose to the L/C Reimbursement Date, at the interest rate applicable during such period to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (ii) thereafter until payment

 

41



 

in full, at the interest rate applicable during such period to past due Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans.

 

(f)            Reimbursement Obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders.  Upon receipt of the notice described in clause (e) above from the Administrative Agent, each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share of such L/C Reimbursement Obligation.  By making such payment (other than during the continuation of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(e)), such Lender shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to the Borrower, which, upon receipt thereof by such L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall be deemed to have used in whole to repay such L/C Reimbursement Obligation.  Any such payment that is not deemed a Revolving Loan shall be deemed a funding by such Lender of its participation in the applicable Letter of Credit and the related L/C Obligations.  Such participation shall not otherwise be required to be funded.  Upon receipt by any L/C Issuer of any payment from any Lender pursuant to this clause (f) with respect to any portion of any L/C Reimbursement Obligation, such L/C Issuer shall promptly pay over to such Lender all payments received after such payment by such L/C Issuer with respect to such portion.

 

(g)           Obligations Absolute.  The obligations of the Borrower and the Revolving Credit Lenders pursuant to clauses (d), (e) and (f) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement irrespective of (i) (A) the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision in any Letter of Credit, any document transferring or purporting to transfer a Letter of Credit, any Loan Document (including the sufficiency of any such instrument), or any modification to any provision of any of the foregoing, (B) any document presented under a Letter of Credit being forged, fraudulent, invalid, insufficient or inaccurate in any respect or failing to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (C) any loss or delay, including in the transmission of any document, (ii) the existence of any setoff, claim, abatement, recoupment, defense or other right that any Person (including any Group Member) may have against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other Person, whether in connection with any Loan Document or any other Contractual Obligation or transaction, or the existence of any other withholding, abatement or reduction, (iii) in the case of the obligations of any Revolving Credit Lender, (A) the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 3.2 to be satisfied (each of which conditions precedent the Revolving Credit Lenders hereby irrevocably waive) or (B) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Loan Party and (iv) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of any Secured Party or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.4, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any obligation of the Borrower or any Revolving Credit Lender hereunder.

 

(h)           Non-Funding Lenders and Impacted Lenders.  Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, if any Lender is a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender, no L/C Issuer shall be obligated to Issue any Letter of Credit unless (i) the Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender has been replaced in accordance with Section 2.18 or Section 11.2, (ii) the L/C Obligations of such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender have been cash collateralized, (iii) the Revolving Credit Commitments of the other Revolving Credit Lenders have been increased by an amount sufficient to satisfy the Administrative Agent that all future L/C

 

42



 

Obligations will be covered by all Revolving Credit Lenders that are not Non-Funding Lenders or Impacted Lenders, or (iv) the L/C Obligations of such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender have been reallocated to other Revolving Credit Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.2(c)(ii).

 

(i)            WFCF as L/C Issuer.  In addition to the foregoing, for so long as WFCF or an Affiliate is the L/C Issuer of a Letter of Credit (in each case, a “Wells L/C Issuer”), the Borrowers, Administrative Agent and WFCF, in its capacity as agent for such L/C Issuer, shall comply with the terms of that certain side letter dated as of the Closing Date which sets forth the procedures to be followed by the Wells L/C Issuer (the “Wells L/C Side Letter”).  In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 2.4 and the Wells L/C Side Letter with respect to any Letter of Credit Issued by a Wells L/C Issuer, the terms of the Wells L/C Side Letter shall control.

 

Section 2.5             Reduction and Termination of the Commitments.  (a) Optional.  The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part ratably any unused portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, however, that each partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000.

 

(b)           Mandatory.  All outstanding Commitments shall terminate on the Scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date.

 

Section 2.6            Repayment of Loans.  The Borrower promises to repay the entire unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans and the Swing Loans on the Scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date.

 

Section 2.7            Optional Prepayments.  The Borrower may prepay the outstanding principal amount of any Loan in whole or in part at any time (together with accrued interest and any breakage costs that may be owing pursuant to Section 2.16(a) after giving effect to such prepayment); provided, however, that each partial prepayment that is not of the entire outstanding amount under any Facility shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000.

(d)           Indenture Prepayments.   Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 2.8, at any time when any Group Member consummates any [“Asset Sale”] as defined in the Indenture (together with any term of similar effect), on or prior to the 364th day after the date of such Asset Sale, the Borrower shall, pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent an amount, not to exceed the lesser of the Revolving Credit Outstandings and such Net Cash Proceeds (or such [“Excess Proceeds”] as defined in the Indenture (together with any term of similar effect)).

 

43



 

(e)           Excess Outstandings.  On any date on which the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Outstandings exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such excess.

 

(f)            Application of Payments.  Any payments made to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.12(b).

 

Section 2.9             Interest.  (a) Rate.  All Loans and the outstanding amount of all other Obligations (other than pursuant to Secured Hedging Agreements) shall bear interest, in the case of Loans, on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loans are made and, in the case of such other Obligations, from the date such other Obligations are due and payable until, in all cases, paid in full, except as otherwise provided in clause (c) below, as follows:  (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate and the Applicable Margin, each as in effect from time to time, (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Eurodollar Rate and the Applicable Margin, each as in effect for the applicable Interest Period, and (iii) in the case of other Obligations, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate and the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, each as in effect from time to time.

 

(b)           Payments.  Interest accrued shall be payable in arrears (i) if accrued on the principal amount of any Loan, (A) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and (B) (1) if such Loan is a Base Rate Loan (including a Swing Loan), on the last day of each calendar quarter commencing on the first such day following the making of such Loan, (2) if such Loan is a Eurodollar Rate Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Loan and, if applicable, on each date during such Interest Period occurring every 3 months from the first day of such Interest Period and (ii) if accrued on any other Obligation, on demand from any after the time such Obligation is due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

 

(c)           Default Interest.  Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in clause (a) above or elsewhere in any Loan Document, effective immediately upon (A) the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 9.1 (d) or (e) or (B) the delivery of a notice by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders to the Borrower during the continuance of any other Event of Default and, in each case, for as long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the principal balance of all Obligations (including any Obligation that bears interest by reference to the rate applicable to any other Obligation) then due and payable shall bear interest at a rate that is 2.0% per annum in excess of the interest rate applicable to such Obligations from time to time, payable on demand or, in the absence of demand, on the date that would otherwise be applicable.

 

(d)           Savings Clause.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by the respective Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, and in such

 

44



 

event the Borrower shall pay such Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law (“Maximum Lawful Rate”); provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Borrower shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

 

Section 2.10           Conversion and Continuation Options.  (a) Option.  The Borrower may elect (i) in the case of any Eurodollar Rate Loan, (A) to continue such Eurodollar Rate Loan or any portion thereof for an additional Interest Period on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (B) to convert such Eurodollar Rate Loan or any portion thereof into a Base Rate Loan at any time on any Business Day, subject to the payment of any breakage costs required by Section 2.16(a), and (ii) in the case of Base Rate Loans (other than Swing Loans), to convert such Base Rate Loans or any portion thereof into Eurodollar Rate Loans at any time on any Business Day upon 3 Business Days’ prior notice; provided, however, that, (x) for each Interest Period, the aggregate amount of Eurodollar Rate Loans having such Interest Period must be an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and (y) no conversion in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans and no continuation in whole or in part of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be permitted at any time at which (1) an Event of Default shall be continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall have determined in their sole discretion not to permit such conversions or continuations, (2) such continuation or conversion would be made during a suspension imposed by Section 2.15, or (3) prior to the Syndication Completion Date, such conversion or continuation would result in a Eurodollar Rate Loan having an Interest Period in excess of one month.

 

(b)           Procedure.  Each such election shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent at least 3 Business Days’ prior notice in substantially the form of Exhibit F (a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) duly completed.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation and of the options selected therein.  If the Administrative Agent does not receive a timely Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the Borrower Representative containing a permitted election to continue or convert any Eurodollar Rate Loan, then, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, such Loan shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan.  Each partial conversion or continuation shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders in the applicable Facility in accordance with their Pro Rata Share.

 

Section 2.11           Fees.  (a) Unused Commitment Fee.  The Borrower agrees to pay to each Revolving Credit Lender a commitment fee on the actual daily amount by which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender exceeds its Pro Rata Share of the sum of (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans and (ii) the outstanding amount of the L/C Obligations for all Letters of Credit (the “Unused Commitment Fee”) from the date hereof through the Revolving Credit Termination Date at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin, payable in arrears (x) on the last day of each calendar quarter and (y) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

 

45


 

(b)           Letter of Credit Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay, with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by any L/C Issuer, (i) to such L/C Issuer, the fees, documentary and processing charges as separately agreed between the Borrower and such L/C Issuer or otherwise in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s standard schedule in effect at the time of determination thereof, (ii) to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer, a fronting fee equal to 0.25% per annum multiplied by the face amount of such Letter of Credit and (iii) to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders according to their Pro Rata Shares, a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) accruing at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans on the maximum undrawn face amount of such Letters of Credit, such fees under clauses (ii) and (iii) shall be payable in arrears (A) on the last day of each calendar month, ending after the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, however, that the fee payable under clause (iii) shall be increased by 2% per annum and shall be payable, in addition to being payable on any date it is otherwise required to be paid hereunder, on demand effective immediately upon (x) the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 9.1(e)(ii) or (y) the delivery of a notice by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders to the Borrower during the continuance of any other Event of Default and, in each case, for as long as such Event of Default shall be continuing.

 

(c)           Additional Fees.  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent and its Related Persons its reasonable and customary fees and expenses in connection with any payments made pursuant to Section 2.16(a) (Breakage Costs) and has agreed to pay the additional fees described in the Fee Letter.

 

Section 2.12          Application of Payments.  (a) Application of Voluntary Prepayments.  Unless otherwise provided in this Section 2.12 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, all payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the Borrower shall be applied to repay the Obligations the Borrower designates.

 

(b)           Application of Mandatory Prepayments.  Subject to the provisions of clause (c) below with respect to the application of payments during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payment made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.8 or any other prepayment of the Obligations required to be applied in accordance with this clause (b) shall be applied first, to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans and the Swing Loans (provided that any payment made pursuant to Section 2.8 shall be made without a concurrent reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitment), and second, in the case of any payment required pursuant to Section 2.8(e), to provide cash collateral to the extent and in the manner in Section 9.3 and, then, any excess shall be retained by the Borrower.

 

(c)           Application of Payments During an Event of Default.  Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees to cause each Loan Party and each other Group Member to waive, the right to direct the application during the continuance of an Event of Default of any and all payments in respect of any Obligation and any proceeds of Collateral and agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of clause (a) above, the Administrative Agent may, and, upon either (A) the direction of the Required Lenders or (B) the termination of any Commitment or the acceleration of any Obligation pursuant to Section 9.2, shall, apply all payments in respect of any Obligation, all funds on deposit in any Cash Collateral Account and

 

46



 

all other proceeds of Collateral (i) first, to pay Obligations in respect of any cost or expense reimbursements, fees or indemnities then due to the Administrative Agent, (ii) second, to pay Obligations in respect of any cost or expense reimbursements, fees or indemnities then due to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, (iii) third, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Loans and L/C Reimbursement Obligations, (iv) fourth, to repay the outstanding principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Reimbursement Obligations, to provide cash collateral for Letters of Credit in the manner and to the extent described in Section 9.3 (v) fifth, to pay amounts owing with respect to Secured Hedging Agreements and (vi) sixth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations.

 

(d)           Application of Payments Generally.  All payments that would otherwise be allocated to the Revolving Credit Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall instead be allocated first, to repay interest on Swing Loans, on any portion of the Revolving Loans that the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender and on any L/C Reimbursement Obligation, in each case for which the Administrative Agent or, as the case may be, the L/C Issuer has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower, second to pay the outstanding principal amount of the foregoing obligations and third, to repay the Revolving Loans.  All repayments of any Revolving Loans shall be applied first, to repay such Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans and then, to repay such Loans outstanding as Eurodollar Rate Loans, with those Eurodollar Rate Loans having earlier expiring Interest Periods being repaid prior to those having later expiring Interest Periods.  If sufficient amounts are not available to repay all outstanding Obligations described in any priority level set forth in this Section 2.12, the available amounts shall be applied, unless otherwise expressly specified herein, to such Obligations ratably based on the proportion of the Secured Parties’ interest in such Obligations.  Any priority level set forth in this Section 2.12 that includes interest shall include all such interest, whether or not accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding, and whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in any such proceeding

 

Section 2.13          Payments and Computations.  (a) Procedure.  The Borrower shall make each payment under any Loan Document not later than 11:00 a.m. on the day when due to the Administrative Agent by wire transfer or ACH transfer (which shall be the exclusive means of payment hereunder) to the following account (or at such other account or by such other means to such other address as the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower in writing within a reasonable time prior to such payment) in immediately available Dollars and without setoff or counterclaim:

The Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees to the Lenders, in accordance with the application of payments set forth in Section 2.12.  The Lenders shall make any payment under any Loan Document in immediately available Dollars and without setoff or counterclaim.  Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make each payment for the account of any L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender required pursuant to Section 2.3 or 2.4 (A) if the notice or demand therefor was received by such Lender prior to 11:00 a.m. on any Business Day, on such Business Day and (B) otherwise, on the Business Day following such receipt.  Payments received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day.

 

(b)           Computations of Interests and Fees.  All computations of interest and of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in the case of Base Rate Loans whose interest rate is calculated based on the rate set forth in clause (a) of the definition of “Base Rate”, 365/366 days), in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest and fees are payable.  Each determination of an interest rate or the amount of a fee hereunder shall be made by the Administrative Agent (including determinations of a Eurodollar Rate or Base Rate in accordance with the definitions of “Eurodollar Rate” and “Base Rate”, respectively) and shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

(c)           Payment Dates.  Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day without any increase in such payment as a result of additional interest or fees; provided, however, that such interest and fees shall continue accruing as a result of such extension of time.

 

(d)           Advancing Payments.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower to the Lenders prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender.  If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon (at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter, at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the applicable Facility) for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent.

 

Section 2.14          Evidence of Debt.  (a) Records of Lenders.  Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts evidencing Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.  In addition, each Lender having sold a participation in any of its Obligations or having identified an SPV as such to the Administrative Agent, acting as agent of the Borrower solely for this purpose and solely for tax purposes, shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.11 (or at such other address as such Lender shall notify the Borrower) a record of

 

48



 

ownership, in which such Lender shall register by book entry (a) the name and address of each such participant and SPV (and each change thereto, whether by assignment or otherwise) and (b) the rights, interest or obligation of each such participant and SPV in any Obligation, in any Commitment and in any right to receive any payment hereunder.

 

(b)           Records of Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent, acting as agent of the Borrower solely for tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions described in this Section 2.14, shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.11 (or at such other address as the Administrative Agent may notify the Borrower Representative) (A) a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which the Administrative Agent agrees to register by book entry the interests (including any rights to receive payment hereunder) of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer in the Revolving Credit Outstandings, each of their obligations under this Agreement to participate in each Loan, Letter of Credit and L/C Reimbursement Obligation, and any assignment of any such interest, obligation or right and (B) accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (1) the names and addresses of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers (and each change thereto pursuant to Section 2.18 (Substitution of Lenders) and Section 11.2 (Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect)), (2) the Commitments of each Lender, (3) the amount of each Loan and each funding of any participation described in clause (A) above, for Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (4) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or paid, (5) the amount of the L/C Reimbursement Obligations due and payable or paid and (6) any other payment received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower and its application to the Obligations.

 

(c)           Registered Obligations.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loans (including any Notes evidencing such Loans and, in the case of Revolving Loans, the corresponding obligations to participate in L/C Obligations and Swing Loans) and the L/C Reimbursement Obligations are registered obligations, the right, title and interest of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers and their assignees in and to such Loans or L/C Reimbursement Obligations, as the case may be, shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein.  This Section 2.14 and Section 11.2 shall be construed so that the Loans and L/C Reimbursement Obligations are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c) (2) of the Code and any related regulations (and any successor provisions).

 

(d)           Prima Facie Evidence.  The entries made in the Register and in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, however, that no error in such account and no failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain any such account shall affect the obligations of any Loan Party to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.  In addition, the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement.  Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender or any L/C Issuer shall be available for access by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  No

 

49



 

Lender or L/C Issuer shall, in such capacity, have access to or be otherwise permitted to review any information in the Register other than information with respect to such Lender or L/C Issuer unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent.

 

(e)           Notes.  Upon any Lender’s request, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver Notes to such Lender evidencing the Loans of such Lender in a Facility and substantially in the form of Exhibit B; provided, however, that only one Note for each Facility shall be issued to each Lender, except (i) to an existing Lender exchanging existing Notes to reflect changes in the Register relating to such Lender, in which case the new Notes delivered to such Lender shall be dated the date of the original Notes and (ii) in the case of loss, destruction or mutilation of existing Notes and similar circumstances.  Each Note, if issued, shall only be issued as means to evidence the right, title or interest of a Lender or a registered assignee in and to the related Loan, as set forth in the Register, and in no event shall any Note be considered a bearer instrument or obligation.

 

Section 2.15          Suspension of Eurodollar Rate Option.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Article 2, the following shall apply:

 

(a)           Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair.  In the event that (a) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Eurodollar Rate is determined or (b) the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon the obligation of each Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended as provided in clause (c) below until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that the Required Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

 

(b)           Illegality.  If any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any Requirement of Law after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, the obligation of such Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended as provided in clause (c) below until such Lender shall, through the Administrative Agent, notify the Borrower that it has determined that it may lawfully make Eurodollar Rate Loans.

 

(c)           Effect of Suspension.  If the obligation of any Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans is suspended, (A) the obligation of such Lender to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, (B) such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan at any time such Lender would otherwise be obligated to make a Eurodollar Rate Loan, (C) the Borrower may revoke any pending Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation to make or continue any Eurodollar Rate Loan or to convert any Base Rate Loan into a Eurodollar Rate Loan and (D) each Eurodollar Rate Loan of such Lender shall

 

50



 

automatically and immediately (or, in the case of any suspension pursuant to clause (a) above, on the last day of the current Interest Period thereof) be converted into a Base Rate Loan.

 

Section 2.16          Breakage Costs; Increased Costs; Capital Requirements.  (a) Breakage Costs.  The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon demand from such Lender to the Borrower Representative (with copy to the Administrative Agent), for all Liabilities (including, in each case, those incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to prepare to fund, to fund or to maintain the Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to the Borrower but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin on the relevant Loans) that such Lender may incur (a) to the extent, for any reason other than solely by reason of such Lender being a Non-Funding Lender, a proposed Borrowing, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation or in a similar request made by telephone by the Borrower, (b) to the extent any Eurodollar Rate Loan is paid (whether through a scheduled, optional or mandatory prepayment) or converted to a Base Rate Loan (including because of Section 2.15) on a date that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period or (c) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to repay Eurodollar Rate Loans when required by the terms hereof.  For purposes of this clause (a), each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it using a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank market.

 

(b)           Increased Costs.  If at any time any Lender or L/C Issuer determines that, after the date hereof, the adoption of, or any change in or in the interpretation, application or administration of, or compliance with, any Requirement of Law (other than any imposition or increase of Eurodollar Reserve Requirements) from any Governmental Authority shall have the effect of (i) increasing the cost to such Lender of making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan or to agree to do so or of participating, or agreeing to participate, in extensions of credit, (ii) increasing the cost to such L/C Issuer of Issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or of agreeing to do so or (iii) imposing any other cost to such Lender or L/C Issuer with respect to compliance with its obligations under any Loan Document, then, upon demand by such Lender or L/C Issuer (with copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or L/C Issuer amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer for such increased cost.

 

(c)           Increased Capital Requirements.  If at any time any Lender or L/C Issuer determines that, after the date hereof, the adoption of, or any change in or in the interpretation, application or administration of, or compliance with, any Requirement of Law (other than any imposition or increase of Eurodollar Reserve Requirements) from any Governmental Authority regarding capital adequacy, reserves, special deposits, compulsory loans, insurance charges against property of, deposits with or for the account of, Obligations owing to, or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or L/C Issuer or any similar requirement (in each case other than any imposition or increase of Eurodollar Reserve Requirements) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer (or any corporation controlling such Lender or L/C Issuer) as a consequence of its obligations under or with respect to any Loan Document or Letter of Credit to a level below that which, taking into account the capital adequacy policies of such Lender, L/C Issuer or corporation, such Lender, L/C Issuer or corporation could have achieved but for such adoption or change, then, upon demand from time

 

51



 

to time by such Lender or L/C Issuer (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction.

 

(d)           Compensation Certificate.  Each demand for compensation under this Section 2.16 shall be accompanied by a certificate of the Lender or L/C Issuer claiming such compensation, setting forth the amounts to be paid hereunder, which certificate shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error.  In determining such amount, such Lender or L/C Issuer may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.  Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 2.16, no Loan Party shall be required to compensate any Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.16 for any amount incurred more than 180 days prior to the deliver of such certificate; provided, however, that such period shall be extended in the case of a reduction caused by any event having a retroactive effect to include the period of retroactive effect).

 

Section 2.17          Taxes.  (a) Payments Free and Clear of Taxes.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.17, each payment by any Loan Party to, on behalf of, or at the direction of, any Secured Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings imposed, levied, collected, assessed or administered by an Governmental Authority and all liabilities with respect thereto (and without deduction for any of them) (collectively, but excluding the taxes set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) below, the “Taxes”) other than for (i) taxes measured by net income (however denominated, including branch profits taxes) and franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes, in each case imposed on such Secured Party as a result of a present or former connection between such Secured Party and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than such connection arising solely from any Secured Party having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, any Loan Document) or (ii) taxes that are directly attributable to the failure (other than as a result of a change in any Requirement of Law) by any Secured Party to deliver the documentation required to be delivered pursuant to clause (f) below.

 

(b)           Gross-Up.  If any Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any amount payable under any Loan Document (other than any Secured Hedging Agreement) to any Secured Party (i) such amount shall be increased as necessary to ensure that, after all required deductions for Taxes are made (including deductions applicable to any increases to any amount under this Section 2.17), such Secured Party receives the amount it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the relevant Loan Party shall make such deductions, (iii) the relevant Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law and (iv) within 30 days after such payment is made, the relevant Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an original or certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that no such increase shall be made with respect to, and no Loan Party shall be required to indemnify any such Secured Party pursuant to clause (d) below for, (x) withholding taxes to the extent that the obligation to withhold amounts existed on the date that such Secured Party became a “Secured Party” under this Agreement in the capacity under which such Secured Party makes a claim under this clause (b), designated a new lending office through which it has begun

 

52



 

to maintain its Loan(s) and which maintenance through such office causes such increase or experiences a change in circumstances (other than a change in a Requirement of Law), except in each case to the extent such Secured Party is a direct or indirect assignee (other than pursuant to Section 2.18 (Substitution of Lenders)) of any other Secured Party that was entitled, at the time the assignment of such other Secured Party became effective or such Secured Party was entitled at the time of designation of a new lending office or change in circumstances to receive additional amounts under this clause (b) or (y) any United States backup withholding tax to the extent required by Code Section 3406 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated under such section to be withheld from amounts payable to a Secured Party that is subject to backup withholding due to the IRS notifying the Administrative Agent or the Borrower of payee underreporting of reportable interest or dividend payments or that the furnished taxpayer identification number is incorrect (provided, however, that the relevant Secured Party shall be given a reasonable period of time to provide the correct taxpayer identification number before any amounts are withheld).

 

(c)           Other Taxes.  In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay, and authorizes the Administrative Agent to pay in its name, any stamp, documentary, excise or property tax, charges or similar levies imposed by any applicable Requirement of Law or Governmental Authority and all Liabilities with respect thereto (including by reason of any delay in payment thereof), in each case arising from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein (collectively, “Other Taxes”).  The Swingline Lender may, without any need for notice, demand or consent from the Borrower, by making funds available to the Administrative Agent in the amount equal to any such payment, make a Swing Loan to the Borrower in such amount, the proceeds of which shall be used by the Administrative Agent in whole to make such payment.  Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 11.11, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 

(d)           Indemnification.  The Borrower shall reimburse and indemnify, within 30 days after receipt of demand therefor (with copy to the Administrative Agent), each Secured Party for all Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.17) paid by such Secured Party and any Liabilities arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.  A certificate of the Secured Party (or of the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Secured Party) claiming any compensation under this clause (d), setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to the Borrower Representative with copy to the Administrative Agent, shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error.  In determining such amount, the Administrative Agent and such Secured Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.  Failure or delay on the part of any Secured Party to demand indemnification pursuant to this Section 2.17(d) shall not constitute a waiver of such Secured Party’s right to demand and receive indemnification from Loan Parties; provided, however that the Borrower shall not have any obligation to indemnify the Secured Party for (i) any additional interest related to any Taxes or Other Taxes to the extent that such additional interest represents interest accrued for the period beginning 180 days after the date the Secured Party received written notice of the imposition of such Taxes or Other Taxes and ending

 

53



 

on the date the Secured Party notified the Borrower or Borrower Representative of the same (to the extent such Secured Party failed to notify the Borrower or Borrower Representative during such 180-day period) or (ii) additional penalties to the extent such additional penalties are incurred as a result of such Secured Party’s failure to notify the Borrower or Borrower Representative within the 180-day period referred to in the preceding clause (i).

 

(e)           Mitigation.  Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its lending office if such a change would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

 

(f)            Tax Forms.  (i) Each Non-U.S. Lender Party that, at any of the following times, is entitled to an exemption from United States withholding tax or is subject to such withholding tax at a reduced rate under an applicable tax treaty shall (w) on or prior to the date such Non-U.S. Lender Party becomes a “Non-U.S. Lender Party” hereunder, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (i) and (z) from time to time if requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender), provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) with two completed originals of each of the following, as applicable:  (a) Forms W-8ECI (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business), W-8BEN (claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under an income tax treaty) or any successor forms, (b) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender Party claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form and a certificate in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent that such Non-U.S. Lender Party is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c) (3)(a) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c) (3)(b) of the Code or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c) (3)(c) of the Code or (c) any other applicable document prescribed by the IRS certifying as to the entitlement of such Non-U.S. Lender Party to such exemption from United States withholding tax or reduced rate with respect to all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender Party under the Loan Documents.  For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing sentence shall not be construed to require any Non-U.S. Lender Party to provide a form that it is not legally entitled to provide.  Unless the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Non-U.S. Lender Party are not subject to United States withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable Requirements of Law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.  In addition, to the extent requested by the Borrower, each Non-U.S. Lender Party shall take any reasonable action permissible under the laws applicable to such Non-U.S. Lender Party to comply with any information gathering or reporting requirements, in each case, that are required to obtain the maximum permitted exemption from U.S. federal withholding taxes available under

 

54



 

Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and any regulations or official interpretations thereof with respect to withholdable payments received by or on behalf of such Non-U.S. Lender Party (for the avoidance of doubt, this sentence shall apply only to the extent that any withholding is required under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code in respect of such payments).

 

(i)            Each U.S. Lender Party shall (A) on or prior to the date such U.S. Lender Party becomes a “U.S. Lender Party” hereunder, (B) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (C) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (f) and (D) from time to time if requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender), provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) with two completed originals of Form W-9 (certifying that such U.S. Lender Party is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax) or any successor form.

 

(ii)           Each Lender having sold a participation in any of its Obligations or identified an SPV as such to the Administrative Agent shall collect from such participant or SPV the documents described in this clause (f) and provide them to the Administrative Agent.

 

(g)           If a Secured Party determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay over such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by any Loan Party under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expense of such Secured Party and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to the portion of such refund payable to such Loan Party); provided, that Loan Parties, upon the request of such Secured Party, agree to repay to such Secured Party the amount paid over to the Loan Parties (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such Secured Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This clause (g) shall not be construed to require any Secured Party to make available or otherwise disclose any confidential information or documentation (including, without limitation, any tax returns) to any Person (including any party hereto) or otherwise make any accounting of or with respect to any tax refund to any Person.

 

Section 2.18          Substitution of Lenders.  (a) Substitution Right.  In the event that any Lender in any Facility that is not an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent (an “Affected Lender”), (i) makes a claim under clause (b) (Increased Costs) or (c) (Increased Capital Requirements) of Section 2.16, (ii) notifies the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.15(b) (Illegality) that it becomes illegal for such Lender to continue to fund or make any Eurodollar Rate Loan in such Facility, (iii) makes a claim for payment pursuant to Section 2.17(b) (Taxes), (iv) becomes a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender with respect to such Facility or (v) does not consent to any amendment, waiver or consent to any Loan Document for which the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but that requires the consent of other Lenders in such Facility, the Borrower may either pay in full such Affected

 

55


 

 

Lender with respect to amounts due in such Facility with the consent of the Administrative Agent or substitute for such Affected Lender in such Facility any Lender or any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any Lender or any other Person acceptable (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the Administrative Agent (in each case, a “Substitute Lender”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Lender that is a Non-Funding Lender or an Impacted Lender, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain a Substitute Lender and execute an Assignment on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender at any time with three Business’ Days prior notice to such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender (unless notice is not practicable under the circumstances) and cause such Lender’s Loans and Commitments to be sold and assigned, in whole or in part, at par.

 

(b)           Procedure.  To substitute such Affected Lender or pay in full the Obligations owed to such Affected Lender under such Facility, the Borrower Representative shall deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender.  The effectiveness of such payment or substitution shall be subject to the delivery to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower (or, as may be applicable in the case of a substitution, by the Substitute Lender) of (i) payment for the account of such Affected Lender, of, to the extent accrued through, and outstanding on, the effective date for such payment or substitution, all Obligations owing to such Affected Lender with respect to such Facility (including those that will be owed because of such payment and all Obligations that would be owed to such Lender if it was solely a Lender in such Facility), (ii) in the case of a payment in full of the Obligations owing to such Affected Lender in the Revolving Credit Facility, payment of any amount that, after giving effect to the termination of the Commitment of such Affected Lender, is required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.8(e) (Excess Outstandings) and (iii) in the case of a substitution, (A) payment of the assignment fee set forth in Section 11.2(c) and (B) an assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent whereby the Substitute Lender shall, among other things, agree to be bound by the terms of the Loan Documents and assume the Commitment of the Affected Lender under such Facility.

 

(c)           Effectiveness.  Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clause (b) above, the Administrative Agent shall record such substitution or payment in the Register, whereupon (i) in the case of any payment in full in any Facility, such Affected Lender’s Commitments in such Facility shall be terminated and (ii) in the case of any substitution in any Facility, (A) the Affected Lender shall sell and be relieved of, and the Substitute Lender shall purchase and assume, all rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to such Facility, except that the Affected Lender shall retain such rights expressly providing that they survive the repayment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments, (B) the Substitute Lender shall become a “Lender” hereunder having a Commitment in such Facility in the amount of such Affected Lender’s Commitment in such Facility and (C) the Affected Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment to evidence such substitution and deliver any Note in its possession with respect to such Facility; provided, however, that the failure of any Affected Lender to execute any such Assignment or deliver any such Note shall not render such sale and purchase (or the corresponding assignment) invalid.  Each Lender agrees that if the Borrower or the Administrative Agent exercises its option hereunder to cause an assignment by such Lender as an Affected Lender, such Lender shall, promptly after receipt of written notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment in accordance

 

56



 

with Section 11.2.  In the event that a Lender does not comply with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence within one Business Day after receipt of such notice, each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent, and hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any assignment agreement or other documentation as may be required to give effect to an assignment in accordance with Section 11.2 on behalf of an Affected Lender and any such documentation so executed by the Administrative Agent shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 11.2.

 

Section 2.19          Appointment of Borrower Representative.

 

(a)           Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes the Borrower Representative as its agent to request and receive the proceeds of advances in respect of the Loans (and to otherwise act on behalf of such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) from Lenders in the name or on behalf of each such Borrower.  Administrative Agent may disburse such proceeds to the bank account of Borrower Representative (or any one or more Borrower) without notice to any other Borrower or any other Loan Party.

 

(b)           Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes the Borrower Representative as its agent to (i) receive statements of account and all other notices from Administrative Agent with respect to the Obligations or otherwise under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) execute and deliver Compliance Certificates and all other notices, certificates and documents to be executed and/or delivered by any Loan Party under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; and (iii) otherwise act on behalf of such Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

(c)           The authorizations contained in this Section 2.19 are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, and Administrative Agent may rely on any notice, request, information supplied by the Borrower Representative, every document executed by the Borrower Representative, every agreement made by the Borrower Representative or other action taken by the Borrower Representative in respect of any Borrower or other Loan Party as if the same were supplied, made or taken by such Borrower or Loan Party.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the failure of one or more Borrower or other Loan Party to join in the execution of any writing in connection herewith shall not relieve any Borrower or other Loan Party from obligations in respect of such writing.

 

(d)           No purported termination of the appointment of Borrower Representative as agent shall be effective without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent.

 

Section 2.20          Joint and Several Liability.

 

(a)           Each Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable for all of the Obligations of each other Borrower under this Agreement, regardless of which Borrower actually receives the proceeds or other benefits of the Loans or other extensions of credit hereunder or the manner in which Borrower, Administrative Agent or any Lender accounts therefor in their respective books and records.

 

57



 

(b)           Each Borrower acknowledges that it will enjoy significant benefits from the business conducted by each other Borrower because of, inter alia, their combined ability to bargain with other Persons including without limitation their ability to receive the Loans and other credit extensions under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents which would not have been available to any Borrower acting alone.  Each Borrower has determined that it is in its best interest to procure the credit facilities contemplated hereunder, with the credit support of each other Borrower as contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

(c)           Each of the Agent and the Lenders have advised Borrowers that it is unwilling to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and make available the credit facilities extended hereby or thereby to any Borrower unless each Borrower agrees, among other things, to be jointly and severally liable for the due and proper payment of the Obligations of each other Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Each Borrower has determined that it is in its best interest and in pursuit of its purposes that it so induce the Lenders to extend credit pursuant to this Agreement and the other documents executed in connection herewith (A) because of the desirability to each Borrower of the credit facilities hereunder and the interest rates and the modes of borrowing available hereunder and thereunder, (B) because each Borrower may engage in transactions jointly with other Borrowers and (C) because each Borrower may require, from time to time, access to funds under this Agreement for the purposes herein set forth.  Each Borrower, individually, expressly understands, agrees and acknowledges, that the credit facilities contemplated hereunder would not be made available on the terms herein in the absence of the collective credit of all the Borrowers, and the joint and several liability of all the Borrowers.  Accordingly, each Borrower acknowledges that the benefit of the accommodations made under this Agreement to the Borrower, as a whole, constitutes reasonably equivalent value, regardless of the amount of the indebtedness actually borrowed by, advanced to, or the amount of credit provided to, or the amount of collateral provided by, any one Borrower.

 

(d)           The Borrower Representative (on behalf of each Borrower) shall maintain records specifying (A) all Obligations incurred by each Borrower, (B) the date of such incurrence, (C) the date and amount of any payments made in respect of such Obligations and (D) all inter-Borrower obligations pursuant to this Section.  The Borrower Representative shall make copies of such records available to the Agent, upon request.

 

(e)           To the extent that applicable law otherwise would render the full amount of the joint and several obligations of any Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents invalid or unenforceable, such Person’s obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be limited to the maximum amount which does not result in such invalidity or unenforceability; provided, however, that each Borrower’s obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be presumptively valid and enforceable to their fullest extent in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, as if this Section were not a part of this Agreement.

 

(f)            To the extent that any Borrower shall make a payment under this Section of all or any of the Obligations (a “Joint Liability Payment”) which, taking into account all other Joint Liability Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the

 

58



 

aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Joint Liability Payments in the same proportion that such Person’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Joint Liability Payments) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each Borrower as determined immediately prior to the making of such Joint Liability Payments, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments, such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Joint Liability Payments.  As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim which could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Section without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under §548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law.

 

(g)           Each Borrower assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of each other Borrower, and any and all endorsers and/or guarantors of any instrument or document evidencing all or any part of such other Borrower’s Obligations, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment by such other Borrower of their Obligations and each Borrower agrees that Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall not have any duty to advise such Borrower of information known to Administrative Agent or any Lender regarding such condition or any such circumstances or to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine.  If Administrative Agent or any Lender, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to a Borrower, Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to update any such information or to provide any such information to such Borrower or any other Person on any subsequent occasion.

 

(h)           Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, without notice or demand and without affecting the liability of any Borrower hereunder, to, at any time and from time to time, (A) renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or other terms relating to, Obligations incurred by any Borrower or other Loan Party, otherwise modify, amend or change the terms of any promissory note or other agreement, document or instrument now or hereafter executed by any Borrower or other Loan Party and delivered to Administrative Agent or any Lender; (B) accept partial payments on an Obligation incurred by any Borrower; (C) take and hold security or collateral for the payment of an Obligation incurred by any Borrower hereunder or for the payment of any guaranties of an Obligation incurred by any Borrower or other liabilities of any Borrower and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security or collateral; (D) apply such security or collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Administrative Agent, in it’s sole respective discretion, may determine; and (E) settle, release, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate an Obligation incurred by any Borrower and any security or collateral therefor in any manner, without affecting or impairing the obligations of any other Borrower.  Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right to determine the time and manner of application of any payments or credits, whether received from a Borrower or any other source, and such determination shall be binding on each Borrower.  All such payments and credits may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to any of an Obligation incurred by any Borrower as Administrative Agent shall determine in it’s respective sole discretion without affecting the validity or enforceability of the Obligations of any other

 

59



 

Borrower.  Nothing in this Section 2.20(h) shall modify any right of any Borrower to consent to any amendment or modification of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

(i)            Each Borrower hereby agrees that, except as hereinafter provided, its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of (A) the absence of any attempt to collect an Obligation incurred by Borrower from any Borrower or any guarantor or other action to enforce the same; (B) the waiver or consent by Administrative Agent with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing an Obligation incurred by Borrower, or any part thereof, or any other agreement heretofore, now or hereafter executed by a Borrower and delivered to Administrative Agent; (C) failure by Administrative Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for an Obligation incurred by any Borrower; (D) the institution of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar proceeding, by or against any Borrower or other Loan Party, Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s election in any such proceeding of the application of §1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (E) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any Borrower as debtor-in-possession under §364 of the Bankruptcy Code; (F) the disallowance, under §502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s claim(s) for repayment of any of an Obligation incurred by any Borrower; or (G) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor.

 

(j)            Any notice given by Borrower Representative hereunder shall constitute and be deemed to be notice given by all Borrowers, jointly and severally.  Notice given by Administrative Agent or any Lender to Borrower Representative hereunder or pursuant to any other Loan Documents in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof shall constitute notice each Borrower.  The knowledge of any Borrower shall be imputed to all Borrowers and any consent by Borrower Representative or any Borrower shall constitute the consent of and shall bind all Borrowers.

 

(k)           This Section is intended only to define the relative rights of Borrower and nothing set forth in this Section is intended to or shall impair the obligations of Borrower, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents.  Nothing contained in this Section shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay the credit facilities made directly or indirectly to such Borrower and accrued interest, fees and expenses with respect thereto for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable.

 

(l)            The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of each Borrower to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.  The rights of any indemnifying Borrower against the other Borrowers under this Section shall be exercisable upon the full and indefeasible payment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments.

 

(m)          No payment made by or for the account of a Borrower, including, without limitation, (A) a payment made by such Borrower on behalf of an Obligation of another Borrower or (B) a payment made by any other person under any guaranty, shall entitle such Borrower, by subrogation or otherwise, to any payment from such other Borrower or from or out of property of such other Borrower and such Borrower shall not exercise any right or remedy

 

60



 

against such other Borrower or any property of such other Borrower by reason of any performance of such Borrower of its joint and several obligations hereunder.

 

Section 2.21          Revolving Credit Commitment Increase.

 

(a)           Request for Commitment Increase.  Provided (i) no Default or Event of Default exists, (ii) after giving effect to the making of the additional loans referred to below, Borrower would be in compliance on a pro forma basis with the covenants set forth in Article 5, and (iii) such proposed increase is permitted pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, Borrower may, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion) and upon providing notice from Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent at any time following the Closing Date request one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments to be made available to Borrower (each such increase a “Revolving Credit Commitment Increase”).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in an aggregate principal amount not less than $1,000,000.

 

(b)           Additional Lenders.  At the time of such notice, Borrower (in consultation with Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond in writing (which shall, in no event, be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to Lenders).  No Lender shall be obligated to participate in any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase unless it so agrees.  Each Lender may participate in any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase up to its Pro Rata Share of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase or any portion thereof.  If the proposed Revolving Credit Commitment Increase is not fully committed by the Lenders, any Lender that has agreed to participate in such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase may agree in writing to increase its participation in the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase up to the excess of the proposed Revolving Credit Commitment Increase over the aggregate amount of pro rata commitments received from Lenders; provided that if the excess of the proposed Revolving Credit Commitment Increase over the aggregate amount of pro rata commitments received from Lenders is oversubscribed, each Lender electing to participate in such excess amount may participate up to its Pro Rata Share of such excess amount.   To the extent any portion of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, as the case may be, is not fully subscribed by existing Lenders, Borrower or Administrative Agent may invite additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent to become Lenders.  Any additional financial institution (each an “Additional Lender” and, together with any Lender that agrees to participate in a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, each a “Participating Lender” and collectively “Participating Lenders”) electing to participate in a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall become a Lender hereunder.  A commitment in respect of a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall become a Revolving Credit Commitment (or in the case of a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Revolving Lender, an increase in such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment) under this Agreement.

 

(c)           Terms of Revolving Credit Commitment Increase.  Other than pricing, each Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and Borrowing thereunder shall be under the same terms as Revolving Loans in respect of Revolving Credit Commitments existing prior to the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise

 

61



 

consented to by Borrower, Administrative Agent, and Lenders (including Participating Lenders), the Loans made under a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall bear interest at an interest rate no less than the interest rate then applicable to the Revolving Loans so funded and no more than fifty (50) basis points greater than the interest rate then applicable to Revolving Loans.  If Loans made under a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall bear interest at an interest rate greater than the interest rate then applicable to Revolving Loans, then the interest rate with respect to the then existing Revolving Loans, as applicable, shall be increased to the same interest rate as is applicable to the Revolving Loans, respectively, made under such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase.   In addition, but without limiting the foregoing, (i) except as provided in the following sentence the percentage of all fees or original issue discounts payable to any Participating Lender on any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase (other than compensation to arrangers or their Affiliates for arranging or underwriting such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase) shall not exceed the percentage of the upfront fees paid to any existing Lender on the outstanding Revolving Loans by more than two hundred (200) basis points and (ii) each component utilized in determining the pricing with respect thereto shall be the same as the Revolving Loans including, without limitation, the definitions of “Base Rate” and “LIBOR.”  If the percentage of fees or original issue discounts payable to any Participating Lender on account of such Participating Lender’s participation in any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase (other than compensation to arrangers or their Affiliates for arranging or underwriting such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase) exceeds the percentage of the upfront fees paid to any Lender on the Closing Date on account of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment on the Closing Date by more than two hundred (200) basis points, then each Lender that was a Lender on the Closing Date (including a Lender that is not a Participating Lender) shall receive additional fees with respect to its Revolving Credit Commitment equal to the percentage of fees or original issue discounts paid to such Participating Lender on account of such Participating Lender’s participation in such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase less two hundred (200) basis points.

 

(d)           Modifications to Agreement.  Administrative Agent and Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Commitment Increase Effective Date”) of each Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and the final allocation.  Each Participating Lender shall make its share of the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase available under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (a “Commitment Increase Amendment”) to this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, as applicable, giving effect to the modifications permitted by this Section 2.22, executed by the Loan Parties, each Participating Lender and Administrative Agent.  Subject to the rights of Lenders pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof, a Commitment Increase Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lender, amend such provisions of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents solely (but only to the extent) as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.22, (including appropriate amendments to the definitions) required to afford the same treatment to such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase as is applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments under the Agreement.

 

(e)           Other Documents.  As a condition precedent to any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate, executed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower Representative, certifying that such proposed increase is

(b)           The Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility for, or bear any risk of loss of, any investment or income of any funds in any Cash Collateral Account.  From time to time after funds are deposited in any Cash Collateral Account, the Administrative Agent may apply funds then held in such Cash Collateral Account to the payment of Obligations in accordance with Section 2.12.  No Group Member and no Person claiming on behalf of or through any Group Member shall have any right to demand payment of any funds held in any Cash Collateral Account at any time prior to the termination of all Commitments and the payment in full of all Obligations and, in the case of L/C Cash Collateral Accounts, the termination of all outstanding Letters of Credit.

(b)           In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Required Lenders to (a) effectuate a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Revolving Loans and (b) include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

 

(c)           Each waiver or consent under any Loan Document shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.  No notice to or demand on any Loan Party shall entitle any Loan Party to any notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.  No failure on the part of any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

 

Section 11.2           Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect.  (a) Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Holdings, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Lender and L/C Issuer that such Lender or L/C Issuer has executed it.  Thereafter, it shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, but only to the benefit of, Holdings, the Borrower (in each case except for Article 10), the Administrative Agent, each Lender and L/C Issuer and, to the extent provided in Section 10.11, each other Indemnitee and Secured Party and, in each case, their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Except as expressly provided in any Loan Document (including in Section 10.9), none of Holdings, the Borrower, any L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent shall have the right to assign any rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein.

 

(b)           Right to Assign.  Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all or a portion of its Commitments and its rights and obligations with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit) to (i) any existing Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender), (ii) any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender) or (iii) any other Person (other than the Borrower, the Permitted Investors or any of their respective Affiliates) acceptable (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the Administrative Agent and, as long as no Event of Default is continuing, the Borrower (which acceptance shall be deemed to have been given if the Borrower has not responded within five Business Days of a request for such acceptance) and, with respect to Sales of Revolving Credit Commitments, each L/C Issuer that is a Lender; provided, however, that (x) such Sales do not have to be ratable between the Facilities but must be ratable among the obligations owing to and owed by such Lender with respect to a Facility, (y) for each Facility, the aggregate outstanding principal amount (determined as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment) of the Loans, Commitments and L/C Obligations subject to any such Sale shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, unless such Sale is made to an existing Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender, is of the assignor’s (together with its Affiliates and Approved Funds) entire interest in such Facility or is made with the prior consent of the Borrower (to the extent the

 

106



 

Borrower’s consent is otherwise required) and the Administrative Agent and (z) such Sales by Lenders who are Non-Funding Lenders due to clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lenders shall be subject to the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent in all instances, unless in connection with such sale, such Non-Funding Lender cures, or causes the cure of, its Non-Funding Lender status as contemplated in Section 2.2(c)(ii).  The Administrative Agent’s refusal to accept a Sale to a Loan Party, an Affiliate of a Loan Party, a holder of Subordinated Debt, a holder of Second Lien Debt, or an Affiliate of such a holder, or to a Person that would be (or could reasonably be expected to become) a Non-Funding or an Impacted Lender, or the imposition of conditions or limitations (including limitations on voting) upon Sales to such Persons, shall not be deemed to be unreasonable.

 

(c)           Procedure.  The parties to each Sale made in reliance on clause (b) above (other than those described in clause (e) or (f) below) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment via an electronic settlement system designated by the Administrative Agent (or if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, via a manual execution and delivery of the assignment) evidencing such Sale, together with any existing Note subject to such Sale (or any affidavit of loss therefor acceptable to the Administrative Agent), any tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.17(f) and payment of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500, provided that (1) if a Sale by a Lender is made to an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of such assigning Lender, then no assignment fee shall be due in connection with such Sale, and (2) if a Sale by a Lender is made to an assignee that is not an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such assignor Lender, and concurrently to one or more Affiliates or Approved Funds of such assignee, then only one assignment fee of $3,500 shall be due in connection with such Sale.  Upon receipt of all the foregoing, and conditioned upon such receipt and, if such assignment is made in accordance with Section 11.2(b) (iii), upon the Administrative Agent (and the Borrower, if applicable) consenting to such Assignment, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment, the Administrative Agent shall record or cause to be recorded in the Register the information contained in such Assignment.

 

(d)           Effectiveness.  Subject to the recording of an Assignment by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 2.14(b) , (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender, (ii) any applicable Note shall be transferred to such assignee through such entry and (iii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto except that each Lender agrees to remain bound by Article 10, Section 11.8 (Right of Setoff) and Section 11.9 (Sharing of Payments) to the extent provided in Section 10.11 (Additional Beneficiaries of Collateral)).

 

(e)           Grant of Security Interests.  In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 11.2, each Lender may grant a security interest in, or otherwise assign as collateral, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to

 

107



 

payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (A) any federal reserve bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board), without notice to the Administrative Agent or (B) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of the holders of, such Lender’s Securities by notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that no such holder or trustee, whether because of such grant or assignment or any foreclosure thereon (unless such foreclosure is made through an assignment in accordance with clause (b) above), shall be entitled to any rights of such Lender hereunder and no such Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder.

 

(f)            Participants and SPVs.  In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 11.2, each Lender may, (x) with notice to the Administrative Agent, grant to an SPV the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder (and the exercise of such option by such SPV and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans hereunder) and such SPV may assign to such Lender the right to receive payment with respect to any Obligation and (y) without notice to or consent from the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit); provided, however, that, whether as a result of any term of any Loan Document or of such grant or participation, (i) no such SPV or participant shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Loans hereunder, and, except as provided in the applicable option agreement, none shall be liable for any obligation of such Lender hereunder, (ii) such Lender’s rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the Loan Parties and the Secured Parties towards such Lender, under any Loan Document shall remain unchanged and each other party hereto shall continue to deal solely with such Lender, which shall remain the holder of the Obligations in the Register, except that (A) each such participant and SPV shall be entitled to the benefit of Sections 2.16 (Breakage Costs; Increased Costs; Capital Requirements) and 2.17 (Taxes), but only to the extent such participant or SPV delivers the tax forms such Lender is required to collect pursuant to Section 2.17(f) and then only to the extent of any amount to which such Lender would be entitled in the absence of any such grant or participation and (B) each such SPV may receive other payments that would otherwise be made to such Lender with respect to Loans funded by such SPV to the extent provided in the applicable option agreement and set forth in a notice provided to the Administrative Agent by such SPV and such Lender, provided, however, that in no case (including pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above) shall an SPV or participant have the right to enforce any of the terms of any Loan Document, and (iii) the consent of such SPV or participant shall not be required (either directly, as a restraint on such Lender’s ability to consent hereunder or otherwise) for any amendments, waivers or consents with respect to any Loan Document or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce or direct enforcement of the Obligations), except for those described in clauses (iii) and (iv) of Section 11.1(a) with respect to amounts, or dates fixed for payment of amounts, to which such participant or SPV would otherwise be entitled and, in the case of participants, except for those described in Section 11.1(a)(v) (or amendments, consents and waivers with respect to Section 10.10 to release all or substantially all of the Collateral).  No party hereto shall institute (and each of Borrower and Holdings shall cause each other Loan Party not to institute) against any SPV grantee of an option pursuant to this clause (f) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation or similar proceeding, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all

 

108



 

outstanding commercial paper of such SPV; provided, however, that each Lender having designated an SPV as such agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against any Liability that may be incurred by, or asserted against, such Indemnitee as a result of failing to institute such proceeding (including a failure to get reimbursed by such SPV for any such Liability).  The agreement in the preceding sentence shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations.

 

Section 11.3           Costs and Expenses.  Any action taken by any Loan Party under or with respect to any Loan Document, even if required under any Loan Document or at the request of any Secured Party, shall be at the expense of such Loan Party, and no Secured Party shall be required under any Loan Document to reimburse any Loan Party or Group Member therefor except as expressly provided therein.  In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse upon demand (a) the Administrative Agent for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by it or any of its Related Persons in connection with the investigation, development, preparation, negotiation, syndication, execution, interpretation or administration of, any modification of any term of or termination of, any Loan Document, any commitment or proposal letter therefor, any other document prepared in connection therewith or the consummation and administration of any transaction contemplated therein (including periodic audits in connection therewith and environmental audits and assessments), in each case including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of legal counsel to the Administrative Agent or such Related Persons, fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with Intralinks® or any other E-System and allocated to the Facilities by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and fees, charges and disbursements of the auditors, appraisers, printers and other of their Related Persons retained by or on behalf of any of them or any of their Related Persons, (b) subject to the limitation on reimbursement pursuant to Section 7.7, the Administrative Agent for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by it or any of its Related Persons in connection with internal audit reviews, field examinations and Collateral examinations (which shall be reimbursed, in addition to the out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such examiners, at the per diem rate per individual charged by the Administrative Agent for its examiners) and (c) each of the Administrative Agent, its Related Persons, and each Lender and L/C Issuer for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with (i) any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out”, (ii) the enforcement or preservation of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, any Obligation, with respect to the Collateral or any other related right or remedy or (iii) the commencement, defense, conduct of, intervention in, or the taking of any other action with respect to, any proceeding (including any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding) related to any Group Member, Loan Document, Obligation or Related Transaction (or the response to and preparation for any subpoena or request for document production relating thereto), including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including reasonable allocated costs of internal counsel); provided, that to the extent that the costs and expenses referred to in this clause (c) consist of fees, costs and expenses of counsel, Borrower shall be obligated to pay such fees, costs and expenses for only one counsel acting for all Lenders (other than Administrative Agent).

 

Section 11.4           Indemnities.  (a) The Borrower agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each L/C Issuer, each Secured Hedging Counterparty, each Person that each L/C Issuer causes to Issue Letters of Credit hereunder and each of their respective Related Persons (each such Person being an “Indemnitee”) from and

 

109



 

against all Liabilities (including brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of (i) any Loan Document, any Related Document, any Disclosure Document, any Obligation (or the repayment thereof), any Letter of Credit, the use or intended use of the proceeds of any Loan or the use of any Letter of Credit, any Related Transaction, or any securities filing of, or with respect to, any Group Member, (ii) any commitment letter, proposal letter or term sheet with any Person or any Contractual Obligation, arrangement or understanding with any broker, finder or consultant, in each case entered into by or on behalf of any Group Member or any Affiliate of any of them in connection with any of the foregoing and any Contractual Obligation entered into in connection with any E-Systems or other Electronic Transmissions, (iii) any actual or prospective investigation, litigation or other proceeding, whether or not brought by any such Indemnitee or any of its Related Persons, any holders of Securities or creditors (and including attorneys’ fees in any case), whether or not any such Indemnitee, Related Person, holder or creditor is a party thereto, and whether or not based on any securities or commercial law or regulation or any other Requirement of Law or theory thereof, including common law, equity, contract, tort or otherwise, or (iv) any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that the Borrower shall not have any liability under this Section 11.4 to any Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter, and no Indemnitee shall have any liability with respect to any Indemnified Matter other than (to the extent otherwise liable), to the extent such liability has resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order.  Furthermore, each of Holdings and the Borrower waives and agrees not to assert against any Indemnitee, and shall cause each other Loan Party to waive and not assert against any Indemnitee, any right of contribution with respect to any Liabilities that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Related Person.

 

(b)           Without limiting the foregoing, “Indemnified Matters” includes all Environmental Liabilities, including those arising from, or otherwise involving, any property of any Related Person or any actual, alleged or prospective damage to property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Hazardous Materials on, upon or into such property or natural resource or any property on or contiguous to any real property of any Related Person, whether or not, with respect to any such Environmental Liabilities, any Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor-in-interest to any Related Person or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of any Related Person through any foreclosure action, in each case except to the extent such Environmental Liabilities (i) are incurred solely following foreclosure by any Secured Party or following any Secured Party having become the successor-in-interest to any Loan Party and (ii) are attributable solely to acts of such Indemnitee.

 

Section 11.5           Survival.  Any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to any Loan Document (including pursuant to Section 2.17 (Taxes), Section 2.16 (Breakage Costs; Increased Costs; Capital Requirements), Article 10 (The Administrative Agent), Section 11.3 (Costs and Expenses), Section 11.4 (Indemnities) or this Section 11.5) and all representations and warranties made in any Loan Document shall (A) survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of other Obligations and

 

110



 

(B) inure to the benefit of any Person that at any time held a right thereunder (as an Indemnitee or otherwise) and, thereafter, its successors and permitted assigns.

 

Section 11.6           Limitation of Liability for Certain Damages.  In no event shall any Indemnitee be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings).  Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees (and shall cause each other Loan Party to waive, release and agree) not to sue upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

 

Section 11.7           Lender-Creditor Relationship.  The relationship between the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of lender and creditor.  No Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with, and there is no agency, tenancy or joint venture relationship between the Secured Parties and the Loan Parties by virtue of, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein.

 

Section 11.8           Right of Setoff.  Each of the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each Affiliate (including each branch office thereof) of any of them is hereby authorized, without notice or demand (each of which is hereby waived by Holdings and the Borrower), at any time and from time to time during the continuance of any Event of Default and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (whether general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness, claims or other obligations at any time owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, such L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or the Borrower against any Obligation of any Loan Party now or hereafter existing, whether or not any demand was made under any Loan Document with respect to such Obligation and even though such Obligation may be unmatured.  Each of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees promptly to notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.  The rights under this Section 11.8 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers and their Affiliates and other Secured Parties may have.

 

Section 11.9           Sharing of Payments, Etc.  If any Lender, directly or through an Affiliate or branch office thereof, obtains any payment of any Obligation of any Loan Party (whether voluntary, involuntary or through the exercise of any right of setoff or the receipt of any Collateral or “proceeds” (as defined under the applicable UCC) of Collateral) other than pursuant to Sections 2.16 (Breakage Costs; Increased Costs; Capital Requirements), 2.17 (Taxes) and 2.18 (Substitution of Lenders), and 11.2 (Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect) and such payment exceeds the amount such Lender would have been entitled to receive if all payments had gone to, and been distributed by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, such Lender shall purchase for cash from other Secured Parties such participations in their Obligations as necessary for such Lender to share such excess payment with such Secured Parties to ensure such payment is applied as though it had been received by

 

111



 

the Administrative Agent and applied in accordance with this Agreement (or, if such application would then be at the discretion of the Borrower, applied to repay the Obligations in accordance herewith); provided, however, that (a) if such payment is rescinded or otherwise recovered from such Lender or L/C Issuer in whole or in part, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price therefor shall be returned to such Lender or L/C Issuer without interest and (b) such Lender shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be able to exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.  If a Non-Funding Lender receives any such payment as described in the previous sentence, such Lender shall turn over such payments to Agent in an amount that would satisfy the cash collateral requirements set forth in Section 2.2(c)(ii).

 

Section 11.10         Marshaling; Payments Set Aside.  No Secured Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any property in favor of any Loan Party or any other party or against or in payment of any Obligation.  To the extent that any Secured Party receives a payment from the Borrower, from the proceeds of the Collateral, from the exercise of its rights of setoff, any enforcement action or otherwise, and such payment is subsequently, in whole or in part, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not occurred.

Section 11.12         Electronic Transmissions.  (a) Authorization.  Subject to the provisions of Section 11.11(a), each of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and each of their Related Persons is authorized (but not required) to transmit, post or otherwise make or communicate, in its sole discretion, Electronic Transmissions in connection with any Loan Document and the transactions contemplated therein.  Each of Holdings, the Borrower and each Secured Party hereby acknowledges and agrees, and each of Holdings and the Borrower shall cause each other Group Member to acknowledge and agree, that the use of Electronic Transmissions is not necessarily secure and that there are risks associated with such use, including risks of interception, disclosure and abuse and each indicates it assumes and accepts such risks by hereby authorizing the transmission of Electronic Transmissions.

 

(b)           Signatures.  Subject to the provisions of Section 11.11(a), (i)(A) no posting to any E-System shall be denied legal effect merely because it is made electronically, (B) each E-Signature on any such posting shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a “signature” and (C) each such posting shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a “writing”, in each case including pursuant to any Loan Document, any applicable provision of any UCC, the federal Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act and any substantive or procedural Requirement of Law governing such subject matter, (ii) each such posting that is not readily capable of bearing either a signature or a reproduction of a signature may be signed, and shall be deemed signed, by attaching to, or logically associating with such posting, an E-Signature, upon which each Secured Party and Loan Party may rely and assume the authenticity thereof, (iii) each such posting containing a signature, a reproduction of a signature or an E-Signature shall, for all intents and purposes, have the same effect and weight as a signed paper original and (iv) each party hereto or beneficiary hereto agrees not to contest the validity or enforceability of any posting on any E-System or E-Signature on any such posting under the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law requiring certain documents to be in writing or signed; provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit such party’s or beneficiary’s right to contest whether any posting to any E-System or E-Signature has been altered after transmission.

 

113

(d)           Limitation of Liability.  All E-Systems and Electronic Transmissions shall be provided “as is” and “as available”.  None of Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of any E-Systems or Electronic Transmission, and each disclaims all liability for errors or omissions therein.  No Warranty of any kind is made by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons in connection with any E-Systems or Electronic Communication, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects.  Each of Holdings, the Borrower and each Secured Party agrees (and each of Holdings and the Borrower shall cause each other Loan Party to agree) that the Administrative Agent has no responsibility for maintaining or providing any equipment, software, services or any testing required in connection with any Electronic Transmission or otherwise required for any E-System.

 

Section 11.13         Governing Law.  This Agreement, each other Loan Document that does not expressly set forth its applicable law, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto and thereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York without regard to choice of law rules to the extent the application of the laws of another jurisdiction would be required thereby.

(b)           Service of Process.  Each of Holdings and Borrower (and, to the extent set forth in any other Loan Document, each other Loan Party) hereby irrevocably waives personal service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and other documents and other service of process of any kind and consents to such service in any suit, action or proceeding brought in the United States of America with respect to or otherwise arising out of or in connection with any Loan Document by any means permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, including by the mailing thereof (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) to the address of Borrower specified in Section 11.11 (and shall be effective when such mailing shall be effective, as provided therein).  Each of Holdings and the Borrower (and, to the extent set forth in any other

Loan Document, each other Loan Party) agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

 

(c)           Non-Exclusive Jurisdiction.  Nothing contained in this Section 11.14 shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Requirements of Law or commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any Loan Party in any other jurisdiction.

 

Section 11.15         Waiver of Jury Trial.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives trial by jury in any suit, action or proceeding with respect to, or directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with, any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein or related thereto (whether founded in contract, tort or any other theory).  Each party hereto (A) certifies that no other party and no Related Person of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (B) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into the Loan Documents, as applicable, by the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 11.15.

 

Section 11.16         Severability.  Any provision of any Loan Document being held illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not affect any part of such provision not held illegal, invalid or unenforceable, any other provision of any Loan Document or any part of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

Section 11.17         Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart.  Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or Electronic Transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

 

Section 11.18         Entire Agreement.  The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement of the parties and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter thereof and any prior letter of interest, commitment letter, fee letter, confidentiality and similar agreements involving any Loan Party and any of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates relating to a financing of substantially similar form, purpose or effect.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms of this Agreement shall govern (unless such terms of such other Loan Documents are necessary to comply with applicable Requirements of Law, in which case such terms shall govern to the extent necessary to comply therewith).

 

Section 11.19         Use of Name.  Each of Holdings and the Borrower agrees, and shall cause each other Loan Party to agree, that it shall not, and none of its Affiliates shall, issue any press release or other public disclosure (other than any document filed with any Governmental Authority relating to a public offering of the Securities of any Loan Party) using the name, logo or otherwise referring to GE Capital or of any of its Affiliates, the Loan Documents or any

 

115


 

transaction contemplated therein to which the Secured Parties are party without at least 2 Business Days’ prior notice to GE Capital and without the prior consent of GE Capital except to the extent required to do so under applicable Requirements of Law and then, only after consulting with GE Capital prior thereto.

(b)           Each Lender, L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent agrees to use all reasonable efforts to maintain, in accordance with its customary practices, the confidentiality of information obtained by it pursuant to any Loan Document and designated in writing by any Loan Party as confidential, except that such information may be disclosed (i) with the Borrower Representative’s prior written consent, (ii) to Related Persons of such Lender, L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, or to any Person that any L/C Issuer causes to Issue Letters of Credit hereunder, that are advised of the confidential nature of such information and are instructed to keep such information confidential, (iii) to the extent such information presently is or hereafter becomes available to such Lender, L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, on a non-confidential basis from a source other than any Loan Party, (iv) to the extent disclosure is required by applicable Requirements of Law or other legal process or requested or demanded by any Governmental Authority, (v) to the extent necessary or customary for inclusion in league table measurements or in any tombstone or other advertising materials (and the Loan Parties consent to the publication of such tombstone or other advertising materials by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any of their Related Persons), (vi) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, any examiner or any nationally recognized rating agency or otherwise to the extent consisting of general portfolio information that does not identify borrowers, (vii) to current or prospective assignees, SPVs grantees of any option described in Section 11.2(f) or participants, direct or contractual counterparties to any Hedging Agreement permitted hereunder and to their respective Related Persons, in each case to the extent such assignees, participants, counterparties or Related Persons agree to be bound by provisions substantially similar to the provisions of this Section 11.20 and (viii) in connection with the exercise of any remedy under any Loan Document.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 11.20 and those of any other Contractual Obligation entered into with any Loan Party (whether or not a Loan Document), the terms of this Section 11.20 shall govern.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of information as provided in this Section 11.20 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord its own confidential information.

 

Section 11.21         Patriot Act Notice.  Each Lender subject to the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (31 U.S.C. 5318 et seq.) hereby notifies the Borrower that, pursuant to Section 326 thereof, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, including the name and address of the Borrower and other information allowing such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with such act.

Section 2.4                                      Authorization; Other Agreements.  The Secured Parties are hereby authorized, without notice to or demand upon any Guarantor and without discharging or otherwise affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder and without incurring any liability hereunder, from time to time, to do each of the following:

(b)                                 the absence of (i) any attempt to collect any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof from the Borrower or any other Guarantor or other action to enforce the same or (ii) any action to enforce any Loan Document or any Lien thereunder;

(e)                                  any foreclosure, whether or not through judicial sale, and any other Sale of any Collateral or any election following the occurrence of an Event of Default by any Secured Party to proceed separately against any Collateral in accordance with such Secured Party’s rights under any applicable Requirement of Law; or

 

(f)                                    any other defense, setoff, counterclaim or any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any of the Borrower’s other Subsidiaries, in each case other than the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 2.7                                      Reliance.  Each Guarantor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower, each other Guarantor and any other guarantor, maker or endorser of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof that diligent inquiry would reveal, and each Guarantor hereby agrees that no Secured Party shall have any duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstances.  In the event any Secured Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any Guarantor, such Secured Party shall be under no obligation to (a) undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, (b) disclose any information that such Secured Party, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to maintain confidential or (c) make any future disclosures of such information or any other information to any Guarantor.

(b)                                 Disposition of Collateral.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), during the continuance of any Event of Default (personally or through its agents or attorneys), (i) enter upon the premises where any Collateral is located, without any obligation to pay rent, through self-help, without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving any Grantor or any other Person notice or opportunity

(c)                                  Management of the Collateral.  Each Grantor further agrees, that, during the continuance of any Event of Default, (i) at the Administrative Agent’s request, it shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places that the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere, (ii) without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent also has the right to require that each Grantor store and keep any Collateral pending further action by the Administrative Agent and, while any such Collateral is so stored or kept, provide such guards and maintenance services as shall be necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain such Collateral in good condition, (iii) until the Administrative Agent is able to Sell any Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to hold or use such Collateral to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving the Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent and (iv) the Administrative Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of any Collateral and to enforce any of the Administrative Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment.  The Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation to any Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights of any Grantor as against third parties with respect to any Collateral while such Collateral is in the possession of the Administrative Agent.

 

(d)                                 Application of Proceeds.  The Administrative Agent shall apply the cash proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.1, after deducting all reasonable and documented costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent and any other Secured Party hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, as set forth in the Credit Agreement, and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any Requirement of Law, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor.

 

(e)                                  Direct Obligation.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any right or remedy against, any Grantor, any other Loan Party or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any right or remedy with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guaranty thereof.  All of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and any other Secured Party under any Loan Document shall be cumulative, may be exercised individually or concurrently and not exclusive of any other rights

 

18



 

or remedies provided by any Requirement of Law.  To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety, now or hereafter existing, arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder.  If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of any Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

 

(f)                                    Commercially Reasonable.  To the extent that applicable Requirements of Law impose duties on the Administrative Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Administrative Agent to do any of the following:

 

(i)                                     fail to incur significant costs, expenses or other Liabilities reasonably deemed as such by the Administrative Agent to prepare any Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition;

 

(ii)                                  fail to obtain Permits, or other consents, for access to any Collateral to Sell or for the collection or Sale of any Collateral, or, if not required by other Requirements of Law, fail to obtain Permits or other consents for the collection or disposition of any Collateral;

 

(iii)                               fail to exercise remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on any Collateral or to remove Liens on any Collateral or to remove any adverse claims against any Collateral;

 

(iv)                              advertise dispositions of any Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not such Collateral is of a specialized nature or to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring any such Collateral;

 

(v)                                 exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on any Collateral, directly or through the use of collection agencies or other collection specialists, hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of any Collateral, whether or not such Collateral is of a specialized nature or, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent, obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Administrative Agent in the collection or disposition of any Collateral, or utilize Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets to dispose of any Collateral;

 

(vi)                              dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets;

 

(vii)                           disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment; or

 

19



 

(viii)                        purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Administrative Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of any Collateral or to provide to the Administrative Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of any Collateral.

 

Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 6.1 is to provide a non-exhaustive list of actions or omissions that are commercially reasonable when exercising remedies against any Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Secured Parties shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 6.1.  Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 6.1 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Administrative Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable Requirements of Law in the absence of this Section 6.1.

 

(g)                                 IP Licenses.  For the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 6.1 (including in order to take possession of, collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove, realize upon, Sell or grant options to purchase any Collateral) at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, (i) an irrevocable, nonexclusive, worldwide license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), including in such license the right to sublicense, use and practice any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor and access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all Software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof and (ii) an irrevocable license (without payment of rent or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, operate and occupy all Real Property owned, operated, leased, subleased or otherwise occupied by such Grantor.

 

Section 6.2                                      Accounts and Payments in Respect of General Intangibles.  (a) In addition to, and not in substitution for, any similar requirement in the Credit Agreement, if required by the Administrative Agent at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payment of accounts or payment in respect of general intangibles, when collected by any Grantor, shall be promptly (and, in any event, within 2 Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent, in a Security Cash Collateral Account, subject to withdrawal by the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 6.4.  Until so turned over, such payment shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent, segregated from other funds of such Grantor.  Each such deposit of proceeds of accounts and payments in respect of general intangibles shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.

 

(b)                                 At any time during the continuance of an Event of Default:

 

(i)                                     each Grantor shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, deliver to the Administrative Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the Contractual Obligations and transactions that gave rise to any account or any payment in respect of general intangibles, including all original orders, invoices and

shipping receipts and notify account debtors that the accounts or general intangibles have been collaterally assigned to the Administrative Agent and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Administrative Agent;

 

(ii)                                  the Administrative Agent may, without notice, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, limit or terminate the authority of a Grantor to collect its accounts or amounts due under general intangibles or any thereof and, in its own name or in the name of others, communicate with account debtors to verify with them to the Administrative Agent’s reasonable satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any account or amounts due under any general intangible.  In addition, the Administrative Agent may at any time enforce such Grantor’s rights against such account debtors and obligors of general intangibles; and

 

(iii)                               each Grantor shall take all actions, deliver all documents and provide all information necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to ensure any Internet Domain Name is registered.

 

(c)                                  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each account and each payment in respect of general intangibles to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto.  No Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any agreement giving rise to an account or a payment in respect of a general intangible by reason of or arising out of any Loan Document or the receipt by any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any obligation of any Grantor under or pursuant to any agreement giving rise to an account or a payment in respect of a general intangible, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

 

Section 6.3                                      Pledged Collateral.  (a) Voting Rights.  During the continuance of an Event of Default, upon notice by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, the Administrative Agent or its nominee may exercise (A) any voting, consent, corporate and other right pertaining to the Pledged Collateral at any meeting of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, of the relevant issuer or issuers of Pledged Collateral or otherwise and (B) any right of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other right, privilege or option pertaining to the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its discretion any Pledged Collateral upon the merger, amalgamation, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or equivalent structure of any issuer of Pledged Stock, the right to deposit and deliver any Pledged Collateral with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

 

21



 

(b)                                 Proxies.  In order to permit the Administrative Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions that it may be entitled to receive hereunder, (i) each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Administrative Agent all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request and (ii) without limiting the effect of clause (i) above, such Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable proxy to vote all or any part of the Pledged Collateral and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Collateral would be entitled (including giving or withholding written consents of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, calling special meetings of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Collateral on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other person (including the issuer of such Pledged Collateral or any officer or agent thereof) during the continuance of an Event of Default and which proxy shall only terminate upon the payment in full of the Secured Obligations.

 

(c)                                  Authorization of Issuers.  Each Grantor hereby expressly irrevocably authorizes and instructs, without any further instructions from such Grantor, each issuer of any Pledged Collateral pledged hereunder by such Grantor to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Administrative Agent in writing that states that an Event of Default is continuing and is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each Grantor agrees that such issuer shall be fully protected from Liabilities to such Grantor in so complying and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividend or make any other payment with respect to the Pledged Collateral directly to the Administrative Agent.

 

Section 6.4                                      Proceeds to be Turned over to and Held by Administrative Agent.  Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Credit Agreement or this Security Agreement, all proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor hereunder in cash or Cash Equivalents shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, promptly upon receipt by any Grantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received (with any necessary endorsement).  All such proceeds of Collateral and any other proceeds of any Collateral received by the Administrative Agent in cash or Cash Equivalents shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a Security Cash Collateral Account.  All proceeds being held by the Administrative Agent in a Security Cash Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent) shall continue to be held as collateral security for the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in the Credit Agreement.

 

Section 6.5                                      Registration Rights.  (a) Each Grantor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any Pledged Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state or foreign securities laws or otherwise or may determine that a public sale is impracticable, not desirable or not commercially reasonable and, accordingly, may resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers that shall be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms

 

22



 

less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.  The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws even if such issuer would agree to do so.

 

(b)                                 Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of any portion of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Section 6.5 valid and binding and in compliance with all applicable Requirements of Law.  Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any covenant contained in this Section 6.5 will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and other Secured Parties, that the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.5 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defense against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Credit Agreement.

 

Section 6.6                                      Deficiency.  Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of any Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorney employed by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

Section 8.2                                      Release of Collateral.  (a)  At the time provided in clause (b)(iii) of Section 10.10 (Release of Collateral or Guarantors) of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral shall be released from the Lien created hereby and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors.  Each Grantor is hereby authorized to file UCC amendments at such time evidencing the termination of the Liens so released.  At the request of any Grantor following any such termination, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Grantor any Collateral of such Grantor held by the Administrative Agent hereunder and execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

 

26


 

(b)                                 If the Administrative Agent shall be directed or permitted pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of Section 10.10(b) of the Credit Agreement to release any Lien or any Collateral, such Collateral shall be released from the Lien created hereby to the extent provided under, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, such clauses (i) and (ii).  In connection therewith, the Administrative Agent, at the request of any Grantor, shall execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such release.

 

(c)                                  At the time provided in Section 10.10(a) of the Credit Agreement and at the request of the Borrower, a Grantor shall be released from its obligations hereunder in the event that all the Securities of such Grantor shall be Sold to any Person that is not an Affiliate of Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries of the Borrower in a transaction permitted by the Loan Documents.

 

Section 8.3                                      Independent Obligations.  The obligations of each Grantor hereunder are independent of and separate from the Secured Obligations and the Guaranteed Obligations.  If any Secured Obligation or Guaranteed Obligation is not paid when due, or upon any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, at its sole election, proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Grantor and any Collateral to collect and recover the full amount of any Secured Obligation or Guaranteed Obligation then due, without first proceeding against any other Grantor, any other Loan Party or any other Collateral and without first joining any other Grantor or any other Loan Party in any proceeding.

 

Section 8.4                                      No Waiver by Course of Conduct.  No Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.6), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default.  No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.  No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion.

 

Section 8.5                                      Amendments in Writing.  None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that annexes to this Agreement may be supplemented (but no existing provisions may be modified and no Collateral may be released) through Pledge Amendments and Joinder Agreements, in substantially the form of Annex 1 and Annex 2, respectively, in each case duly executed by the Administrative Agent and each Grantor directly affected thereby.

 

Section 8.6                                      Additional Grantors; Additional Pledged Collateral.  (a)  Joinder Agreements.  If, at the option of the Borrower or as required pursuant to Section 7.10 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall cause any Subsidiary that is not a Grantor to become a Grantor hereunder, such Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Annex 2 and shall thereafter for all purposes be a

 

27



 

party hereto and have the same rights, benefits and obligations as a Grantor party hereto on the Closing Date.

 

(b)                                 Pledge Amendments.  To the extent any Pledged Collateral has not been delivered as of the Closing Date, such Grantor shall deliver a pledge amendment duly executed by the Grantor in substantially the form of Annex 1 (each, a “Pledge Amendment”).  Such Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to attach each Pledge Amendment to this Agreement.  Without limiting any other terms of this Agreement, such Grantor further agrees to comply with Section 5.3(a) with respect to any additional Pledged Collateral that is Pledged Stock (whether certificated or uncertificated) or Pledged Investment Property.

 

Section 8.7                                      Notices.  All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Administrative Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 11.11 of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Grantor shall be addressed to the Borrower’s notice address set forth in such Section 11.11.

 

Section 8.8                                      Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of each Secured Party and their successors and assigns; provided, however, that, except in connection with a transaction between two Grantors that is permitted by the terms of the Credit Agreement, no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

 

Section 8.9                                      Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart.  Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or by Electronic Transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

 

Section 8.10                                Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement being held illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not affect any part of such provision not held illegal, invalid or unenforceable, any other provision of this Agreement or any part of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

Section 8.11                                Governing Law.  This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York without regard to choice of law rules to the extent the application of the laws of another jurisdiction would be required thereby.

 

Section 8.12                                WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO, OR DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH, ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREIN OR RELATED THERETO (WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES

 

28



 

THAT NO OTHER PARTY AND NO RELATED PERSON OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.12.

2.5           Release of Collateral Upon Permitted Collateral Sale.  The Second Lien Agent, on behalf of the Second Lien Creditors, shall at any time in connection with any Permitted Collateral Sale:  (a) upon the written request of the First Lien Agent with respect to the Collateral subject to such Permitted Collateral Sale and at Holdings’ expense, release or otherwise terminate its Liens on such Collateral (and/or, in the case of a Permitted Collateral Sale consisting of the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the equity interests of any Guarantor, release such Guarantor from its obligations under the relevant Documents), (b) promptly deliver such terminations of financing statements, partial lien releases, mortgage satisfactions and discharges, endorsements, assignments or other instruments of transfer, termination or release (collectively, “Release Documents”) and take such further actions as the First Lien Agent shall reasonably require in order to release and/or terminate such Second Lien Agent’s Liens on the Collateral (or release such Guarantor) subject to such Permitted Collateral Sale; provided that if the closing of the Disposition of the Collateral is not consummated within 60 days from the proposed closing date or any agreement governing such Permitted Collateral Sale is terminated by any of the parties thereto, the First Lien Agent shall promptly return all Release Documents to the Second Lien Agent and (c) be deemed to have consented under the Second Lien Documents to such Permitted Collateral Sale free and clear of the Second Lien Agent’s security interest (it being understood that the Second Lien Agent shall still, subject to the terms of this Agreement, have a security interest with respect to the proceeds of such Collateral) and to have waived the provisions of the Second Lien Documents to the extent necessary to permit such transaction.  If, in connection with a Permitted Collateral Sale, First Lien Agent intends to file a termination statement that has the effect of terminating any financing statement which has been filed by Second Lien Agent (and which is not part of the Release Documents), First Lien Agent will provide Second Lien Agent at least 2 Business Days notice of the filing of such termination statement.

(b)           Adequate Protection.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.2, in any Insolvency Proceeding, if the First Lien Creditors (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of Senior Adequate Protection Liens, the Second Lien Creditors may seek (and the First Lien Creditors may not oppose) adequate protection of their interests in the Collateral in the form of (i) a replacement Lien on the additional collateral subject to the Senior Adequate Protection Liens (the “Junior Adequate Protection Liens”), which Junior Adequate Protection Liens, if granted, will be subordinate to all Liens securing the First Lien Obligations (including, without limitation, the Senior Adequate Protection Liens and any “carve-out” agreed to by the First Lien Agent or the other First Lien Creditors) and any Liens securing debtor-in-possession financing (whether or not constituting DIP Financing) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are so subordinated under this Agreement (provided that any failure of the Second Lien Creditors to obtain such Junior Adequate Protection Liens shall not impair or otherwise affect the agreements, undertakings and consents of the Second Lien Creditors pursuant to Section 6.2(a)) and (ii) superpriority claims under Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code junior in all respects to the superpriority claims granted under Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code to the First Lien Creditors on account of any of the First Lien Obligations or granted under Section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any debtor-in-possession financing (whether or not constituting DIP Financing) or use of cash collateral; provided that the inability of the Second Lien Creditors to receive a Lien on actions under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code or proceeds thereof shall not affect the agreements and waivers set forth in this Section 6.2; and provided, further, that the Second Lien Agent shall have irrevocably agreed, pursuant to Section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Creditors, in any stipulation and/or order granting such adequate protection, that any such junior superpriority claims may be paid under any plan of reorganization in any combination of cash, debt, equity or other property having a value on the effective date of such plan equal to the allowed amount of such junior superpriority claims.  The Second Lien Creditors may seek post-petition interest or other adequate protection payments in cash (“Second Lien Bankruptcy Payments”) in any Insolvency Proceeding so long as the aggregate amount of such Second Lien Bankruptcy Payments does not exceed an amount equal to post-petition interest accruing at the non-default rate with respect to the Second Lien Obligations and First Lien Creditors are receiving payment of all post-petition interest accruing with respect to First Lien Obligations, and the First Lien Creditors may oppose such motions.  If Second Lien Creditors receive Second Lien Bankruptcy Payments and the First Lien Obligations (other than the Excluded First Lien Obligations) are not Paid in Full upon the effective date of the plan of reorganization, or conclusion of such Insolvency Proceeding, then the Second Lien Creditors shall pay over to the First Lien Creditors an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Second Lien Bankruptcy Payments and (ii) the amount of the shortfall in Payment in Full of the First Lien Obligations (excluding the Excluded First Lien Obligations).

 

6.3           Sale of Collateral; Waivers.  The Second Lien Creditors agree that they will not object to or oppose a Disposition of any Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations (or any portion thereof) free and clear of Liens or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code, if the First Lien Creditors have consented to such or Disposition of such assets, as long as all proceeds of such Disposition received by the

 

28



 

First Lien Creditors on account of the First Lien Obligations will be applied to the First Lien Obligations to permanently reduce the Maximum First Lien Principal Amount; provided that the Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Lien Creditors, may raise any objections to any such Disposition of such Collateral that could be raised by any creditor of the Obligors whose claims were not secured by any Liens on such Collateral, provided such objections are not inconsistent with any other term or provision of this Agreement and are not based on the status of the Second Lien Agent or the Second Lien Creditors as secured creditors (without limiting the foregoing, neither the Second Lien Agent nor the Second Lien Creditors may raise any objections based on rights afforded by Sections 363(e) and (f) of the Bankruptcy Code to secured creditors (or by any comparable provision of any Bankruptcy Law)) with respect to the Liens granted to the Second Lien Agent.  The Second Lien Agent and the Second Lien Creditors waive any claim they may now or hereafter have arising out of the First Lien Creditors’ election in any proceeding instituted under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Second Lien Agent and the Second Lien Creditors agree not to initiate or prosecute or join with any other Person to initiate or prosecute any claim, action or other proceeding (i) challenging the enforceability of the First Lien Creditors’ claims as fully secured claims with respect to all or part of the First Lien Obligations or for allowance of any First Lien Obligations (including those consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses) or opposing any action by the First Lien Agent or the First Lien Creditors to enforce their rights or remedies arising under the First Lien Documents in a manner which is not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, (ii) challenging the enforceability, validity, priority or perfected status of any Liens on assets securing the First Lien Obligations under the First Lien Documents, (iii) asserting any claims which the Obligors may hold with respect to the First Lien Creditors, (iv) seeking to lift the automatic stay to the extent that such action is opposed by the First Lien Agent, except, if the First Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the First Lien Creditors, seeks relief from the automatic stay to exercise its rights against the Collateral under and in accordance with this Agreement, then the Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Creditors, may seek limited relief from the automatic stay to preserve its right to receive proceeds of Collateral payable to it and the Second Lien Creditors under and in accordance with this Agreement including, without limitation, Section 2.4 of this Agreement, or (v) opposing a motion by the First Lien Agent to lift the automatic stay.  The First Lien Creditors agree not to initiate or prosecute or join with any person to initiate or prosecute any claim, action or other proceeding challenging the enforceability, validity, priority or perfected status of any Liens on assets securing the Second Lien Obligations under the Second Lien Documents.

 

6.4           Invalidated Payments.  To the extent that the First Lien Creditors receive payments on the First Lien Obligations or proceeds of Collateral for application to the First Lien Obligations which are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any Bankruptcy Law, common law, equitable cause or otherwise (and whether as a result of any demand, settlement, litigation or otherwise) (each a “First Lien Avoidance”), then to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, such Obligations, or part thereof, intended to be satisfied by such payment or proceeds shall be revived and continue in full force and effect as if such payments or proceeds had not been received by the First Lien Creditors, and this Agreement, if theretofore terminated, shall be reinstated in full force and effect as of the date of such First Lien Avoidance, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the

 

29


 

Lien priorities and the relative rights and obligations of the First Lien Creditors and the Second Lien Creditors provided for herein with respect to any event occurring on or after the date of such First Lien Avoidance.  The Second Lien Creditors agree that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any First Lien Avoidance, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such First Lien Avoidance otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement.

 

6.5           Payments.  In the event of any Insolvency Proceeding involving one or more Obligors, all proceeds of Collateral (including, without limitation, any Distribution which would otherwise, but for the terms hereof, be payable or deliverable in respect of the Second Lien Secured Claim) shall be paid or delivered directly to First Lien Agent (to be held and/or applied by First Lien Agent in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Documents) until all First Lien Obligations are Paid in Full (other than the Excluded First Lien Obligations) before any of the same shall be made to one or more of the Second Lien Creditors on account of any Second Lien Secured Claim, and each Second Lien Creditor irrevocably authorizes, empowers and directs any debtor, debtor in possession, receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian, conservator or other Person having authority, to pay or otherwise deliver all such Distributions in respect of any Second Lien Secured Claim to the First Lien Agent; provided that the foregoing provision shall not apply to Distributions made in respect of the Second Lien Secured Claim pursuant to a plan of reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to such Obligors which has received the affirmative vote of all classes composed of the First Lien Creditors’ claims and which has been confirmed pursuant to a Final Order.  Each Second Lien Creditor also irrevocably authorizes and empowers the First Lien Agent, in the name of each Second Lien Creditor, to demand, sue for, collect and receive any and all such Distributions in respect of any Second Lien Secured Claim to which the First Lien Creditors are entitled hereunder.  In the event of any Distribution received by the Second Lien Creditors in respect of any Second Lien Deficiency, the Second Lien Creditors shall be entitled to retain such Distribution to the extent the same have been paid pursuant to a plan of reorganization which is confirmed pursuant to a Final Order regardless of whether such plan of reorganization has received the affirmative vote of all classes composed of the First Lien Creditors’ claims.

 

6.6           Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification.  Each Second Lien Creditor acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the First Lien Documents and the Second Lien Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens and (b) because of their differing rights in the Collateral, the Second Lien Secured Claims are fundamentally different from the First Lien Secured Claims and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding.  Each of the First Lien Creditors and Second Lien Creditors agree that, without the written consent of the other, they shall not seek to vote with the other as a single class in connection with any plan of reorganization or otherwise be treated as the same class of creditors in any Insolvency Proceeding and shall not oppose any pleading or motion by the other for the First Lien Creditors and the Second Lien Creditors to be treated as separate classes of creditors.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it is held that the Secured Claims of the First Lien Creditors and the Second Lien Creditors in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the Second Lien Creditors hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior

 

30



 

secured claims against the Obligors in respect of the Collateral, with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Collateral exceeds the amount of the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Creditors shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, and fees, costs and charges incurred subsequent to the commencement of the applicable Insolvency Proceeding before any distribution is made in respect of any of the claims held by the Second Lien Creditors.  The Second Lien Creditors hereby acknowledge and agree to turn over to the First Lien Creditors amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of the preceding sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Lien Creditors.

 

6.7           Rights as Unsecured Lenders.  In any Insolvency Proceeding, to the extent not prohibited by this Agreement, the Second Lien Creditors may take any action, file any pleading, appear in any proceeding and exercise rights and remedies whether as unsecured lenders or otherwise.  In any Insolvency Proceeding, to the extent not prohibited by this Agreement, the First Lien Creditors may take any action, file any pleading, appear in any proceeding and exercise rights and remedies whether as unsecured lenders or otherwise.  The Second Lien Creditors may vote on any plan of reorganization (including, without limitation, the right to vote to accept or reject any plan of partial or complete liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, composition or extension) to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.4).

 

Section 7.               Miscellaneous.

 

7.1           Termination.  Subject to Section 5.5, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the first to occur of the Payment in Full of (a) the First Lien Obligations or (b) the Second Lien Obligations.

 

7.2           Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

 

(a)           This Agreement shall be binding upon each Secured Creditor and its respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of each Secured Creditor and its respective successors, participants and assigns.  No other Person shall have or be entitled to assert rights or benefits hereunder.

 

(b)           Each Secured Creditor reserves the right to grant participations in, or otherwise sell, assign, transfer or negotiate all or any part of, or any interest in, their respective Obligations; provided that (i) no Secured Creditor shall be obligated to give any notices to or otherwise in any manner deal directly with any participant in the Obligations and no participant shall be entitled to any rights or benefits under this Agreement, except through the Secured Creditor with which it is a participant and (ii) as between any Secured Creditor and the Obligors, any such sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation shall be subject to any applicable restrictions in the relevant Document to which such Secured Creditor is a party.

 

(c)           In connection with any participation or other transfer or assignment, a Secured Creditor (i) may, subject to its respective Documents, disclose to such assignee, participant or other transferee or assignee all documents and information which such Secured

 

31



 

Creditor now or hereafter may have relating to any Obligor or the Collateral (and any documents and/or information so disclosed shall be subject to any other applicable confidentiality provisions in the Documents to which such Secured Creditor is a party) and (ii) shall disclose to such participant or other transferee or assignee the existence and terms and conditions of this Agreement.

EXHIBIT A
to Intercreditor Agreement

 

[FORM OF]
INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT JOINDER

 

The undersigned, [                                      ], a [                                      ], hereby agrees to become party as [First] [Second] Lien Series Representative under the Intercreditor Agreement dated as of May 13, 2010 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”; unless otherwise defined herein, each capitalized term used herein shall the meaning assigned to such term in the Intercreditor Agreement), among Oncure Medical Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Oncure”), the other Obligors from time to time party thereto, General Electric Capital Corporation, as the initial First Lien Agent and Trustee, as initial Second Lien Agent, for all purposes thereof on the terms set forth therein, and to be bound by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement as fully as if the undersigned had executed and delivered the Intercreditor Agreement as of the date thereof.

 

The undersigned further agrees:

 

(a)           each Series of [First][Second] Lien Obligations will be and are secured equally and ratably by all [First][Second] Liens at any time granted by any Obligor to secure any Obligations in accordance with Section 2.14 of the Intercreditor Agreement in respect of a Series of [First][Second] Lien Obligations, whether or not upon property otherwise constituting collateral for a Series of [First][Second] Lien Obligations, and that all such [First][Second] Liens will be enforceable by the [First][Second] Lien Agent for the benefit of all holders of [First][Second] Lien Obligations;

 

(b)           the [First] [Second] Lien Creditors under the Credit Facility for which the undersigned is the [First] [Second] Series Representative (hereinafter, excluding the [First] [Second] Lien Agent in its capacity as such, the “Related Series Creditors”) have authorized the undersigned to act on their behalf and to enter into this Agreement and any separate intercreditor agreement to which the undersigned has or will become a party and are bound by the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, including the provisions relating to the ranking of [First][Second] Liens;

 

(c)           the undersigned will not (i) hold any Collateral in its possession (except through the [First][Second] Lien Agent as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement), (ii) seek to have its name indicated as a lienholder on any certificate of title (unless the undersigned is or becomes the [First][Second] Lien Agent) and (iii) take  any Enforcement Action except with the consent and at the direction of [First][Second] Lien Agent;

 

(d)           the undersigned  further irrevocably consents to the [First][Second] Lien Agent exercise of its powers and performance of its duties under the Intercreditor Agreement and, as they relate to the Collateral and its powers and obligations under the Intercreditor Agreement, the other [First][Second] Lien Documents, and all powers incidental thereto; and/or the undersigned  certifies that it has entered into a separate intercreditor agreement with the [First][Second] Lien Agent governing the relative rights of the holders of each Series of [First][Second] Lien Obligations in respect of the [First][Second] Lien Collateral;

2.2.         Subordinated Debt Payment Restrictions.  Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 2.1 hereinabove, Permitted Subordinated Debt Payments may be made by the Loan Parties or accepted by Subordinated Creditor, but only if, at the time of such payment, no Senior Loan Default exists or would be created by reason of such payment.

 

2.3.         Subordinated Debt Standstill Provisions.  Until the Termination Date, Subordinated Creditor shall not, without the prior written consent of Agent, take any Enforcement Action with respect to the Subordinated Debt.

 

2.4.         Incorrect Payments.  If any Distribution on account of the Subordinated Debt not permitted to be made by a Loan Party or accepted by Subordinated Creditor under this Agreement is made and received by Subordinated Creditor, such Distribution shall not be commingled with any of the assets of Subordinated Creditor, shall be held in trust by Subordinated Creditor for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders and shall be promptly paid over to Agent for application in accordance with the Senior Loan Documents to the payment of the Loan then remaining unpaid until the Termination Date.

If, notwithstanding the terms of this Agreement, Subordinated Creditor shall at any time obtain any Lien or security interest in any Collateral, upon the request of any Senior Secured Party Subordinated Creditor shall (or shall cause its agent) to release, on a prompt basis, any Liens and security interests which it may have in such Collateral.  Subordinated Creditor agrees that it will not at any time contest the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Senior Debt, the

 

4



 

Senior Debt Documents, or the liens and security interests of Senior Agent in the Collateral securing the Senior Debt.  In furtherance of the foregoing, Subordinated Creditor hereby irrevocably appoints Agent, until the Termination Date, its attorney-in-fact with full authority in the place and stead of Subordinated Creditor and in the name of Subordinated Creditor or otherwise to execute and deliver any document or instrument that Subordinated Creditor may be required to deliver pursuant to this subsection 2.5 if Subordinated Creditor fails to so execute and deliver the same within ten (10) days after request by any of the Senior Secured Parties.

 

2.6.         Application of Proceeds from Sale or other Disposition of the Collateral.  In the event of any sale, transfer or other disposition (including a casualty loss or taking through eminent domain) of the Collateral, the proceeds resulting therefrom (including insurance proceeds) shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the Senior Loan Documents or as otherwise consented to by Agent until the Termination Date.

 

2.7.         Reserved.

 

2.8.         Reserved.

 

2.9.         Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy.  In the event of any Proceeding involving any Loan Party:

 

(a)           Any Distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property which would otherwise, but for the terms hereof, be payable or deliverable in respect of the Subordinated Debt shall be held in trust for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders and paid over, or delivered directly, to Agent for application in accordance with the Senior Loan Documents to the payment of the Senior Loan then remaining unpaid until the Termination Date of the Senior Loan.  Subordinated Creditor irrevocably authorizes, empowers and directs any debtor, debtor in possession, receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian, conservator or other Person having authority, to pay or otherwise deliver all such Distributions to Agent. Subordinated Creditor also irrevocably authorizes and empowers Agent, in the name of Subordinated Creditor, to demand, sue for, collect and receive any and all such Distributions.

 

(b)           Subordinated Creditor agrees that Senior Secured Parties may consent to the use of cash collateral or provide financing to any Loan Party on such terms and conditions and in such amounts as Senior Secured Parties, in their sole discretion, may decide and, in connection therewith, any Loan Party may grant to Senior Secured Parties Liens and security interests upon all of the property of such Loan Party, which Liens and security interests (i) shall secure payment of the Senior Loan (whether such Senior Loan arose prior to the commencement of any Proceeding or at any time thereafter) and all other financing provided by Senior Secured Parties during the Proceeding, and (ii) shall be superior in priority to the Liens and security interests, if any, in favor of Subordinated Creditor on the property of such Loan Party. Subordinated Creditor agrees that it will not object to or oppose a sale or other disposition of any property securing all of any part of the Senior Loan free and clear of security interests, Liens or other claims of Subordinated Creditor under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code if Senior Secured Parties have consented to such sale or disposition. Subordinated Creditor agrees not to assert any right it may have to “adequate protection” of Subordinated Creditor’s interest in any Collateral in any Proceeding and agrees

 

5



 

that it will not seek to have the automatic stay lifted with respect to any Collateral without the prior written consent of Senior Secured Parties. Subordinated Creditor waives any claim it may now or hereafter have arising out of Senior Secured Parties’ election, in any Proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code by Borrower, as debtor in possession. Subordinated Creditor further agrees that it will not seek to participate or participate on any creditor’s committee without Senior Secured Parties’ prior written consent.

 

(c)           Subordinated Creditor agrees to execute, verify, deliver and file any proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated Debt requested by Senior Secured Parties in connection with any such Proceeding and hereby irrevocably authorizes, empowers and appoints Agent, until the Termination Date, as its agent and attorney-in-fact to (i) execute, verify, deliver and file such proofs of claim upon the failure of Subordinated Creditor promptly to do so prior to thirty (30) days before the expiration of the time to file any such proof of claim, and (ii) vote such claim in any such Proceeding upon the failure of Subordinated Creditor to do so prior to fifteen (15) days before the expiration of the time to vote any such claim; provided, however, that Agent shall have no obligation to execute, verify, deliver, file and/or vote any such proof of claim.  Subordinated Creditor hereby assigns to Senior Secured Parties or their nominee (and will, upon request of Senior Secured Parties, reconfirm in writing the assignment to Senior Secured Parties or their nominee of) all rights of Subordinated Creditor under such claims.

 

(d)           The Senior Loan shall continue to be treated as the Senior Loan and the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to govern the relative rights and priorities of Senior Secured Parties and Subordinated Creditor even if all or part of the Senior Loan or the Liens or security interests securing the Senior Loan are subordinated, set aside, avoided, invalidated or disallowed in connection with any such Proceeding, and this Agreement shall be reinstated if at any time any payment of any of the Senior Loan is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any holder of the Senior Loan or any representative of such holder.

 

3.             Modifications.

 

3.1.         Modifications to Senior Loan Documents.  Agent may at any time and from time to time without the consent of or notice to Subordinated Creditor, without incurring liability to Subordinated Creditor and without impairing or releasing the obligations of Subordinated Creditor under this Agreement, change the manner or place of payment or extend the time of payment of or renew or alter any of the terms of the Senior Loan, or amend, restate, supplement or otherwise modify in any manner any Senior Loan Document.

 

3.2.         Modifications to Subordinated Debt Documents.  At all times prior to the Termination Date, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Subordinated Debt Documents, neither Subordinated Creditor nor any Loan Party shall, without the prior written consent of Agent, agree to any amendment, restatement, modification or supplement to the Subordinated Debt Documents that would (i) be materially adverse to any Senior Secured Party, (ii) cause or allow the indebtedness of the Loan Parties to Subordinated Creditor to be increased beyond the amount due and owing from time to time under the Subordinated Debt Documents as in effect on the date hereof or (iii) shorten the period or

 

6



 

increase the frequency of timing of repayment of the Subordinated Debt from the period and timing set forth under the Subordinated Debt Documents as in effect on the date hereof.  Nothing herein, including the provisions of this Agreement pertaining to subordination of Liens on the Collateral, shall be construed to imply Agent’s consent to any Subordinated Debt Document which grants a Lien upon any of the Collateral.

 

4.             Waiver of Certain Rights by Subordinated Creditor.

 

4.1.         Marshaling.  Subordinated Creditor hereby waives any rights it may have under applicable law to assert the doctrine of marshaling or to otherwise require Agent to marshal any property of any Loan Party for the benefit of Subordinated Creditor.

 

4.2.         Rights Relating to Senior Secured Parties’ Actions with respect to the Collateral.  Subordinated Creditor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any rights which it may have to enjoin or otherwise obtain a judicial or administrative order preventing Agent from taking, or refraining from taking, any action with respect to all or any part of the Collateral. Without limitation of the foregoing, Subordinated Creditor hereby agrees (a) that it has no right to direct or object to the manner in which Agent applies the proceeds of the Collateral resulting from the exercise by Agent of rights and remedies under the Senior Loan Documents to the Senior Loan to which Agent is a party, and (b)  that Agent has not assumed any obligation to act as the agent for Subordinated Creditor with respect to the Collateral.

 

4.3.         Rights Relating to Disclosures.  Subordinated Creditor hereby agrees that Senior Secured Parties have not assumed any obligation or duty to disclose information regarding any Loan Party or the Senior Loan to Subordinated Creditor, and no Senior Secured Party shall have a special or fiduciary relationship to Subordinated Creditor.  Subordinated Creditor hereby fully waives and releases each Senior Secured Party from any affirmative disclosures which may be required of such Senior Secured Party under applicable law.

 

5.             Construction.  The terms of this Agreement were negotiated among business persons sophisticated in the area of business finance, and accordingly, in construing the terms of this Agreement, no rule or law which would require that this instrument be construed against the party who drafted this instrument shall be given any force or effect.

 

6.             Modification.  Any modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure by any party from the terms hereof, shall not be effective in any event unless the same is in writing and signed by Agent and Subordinated Creditor, and then such modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. Any notice to or demand on any party hereto in any event not specifically required hereunder shall not entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances unless specifically required hereunder.

If the Genstar Parties propose the Transfer, and the Board approves such Transfer, of Capital Stock equaling at least fifty (50)% of the Capital Stock collectively held (directly or indirectly) by the Genstar Parties to a purchaser that is not an Affiliate of any Genstar Party or the Company, in each case by way of any sale of Capital Stock, merger, consolidation, business combination, reorganization or recapitalization (each, a “Genstar Approved Sale”), each other Stockholder shall, upon the request of such Genstar Party (provided, that such request is made to each other Stockholder), (i) vote for, consent to, raise no objections to, and take all actions required, necessary or desirable in connection with the consummation of the Genstar Approved Sale as reasonably requested by such Genstar Party; (ii) Transfer the Pro Rata Portion of its Capital Stock being Transferred in such Genstar Approved Sale on the same terms and conditions approved by the Board and applicable to such Transfer by the Genstar Parties (including the payment of the same consideration per share for each share of Capital Stock sold and as otherwise provided in Section 3.2 below); and (iii) agree to become a party to any proposed agreement for the sale of such shares and to execute any agreement, certificate or other documents required to be executed in connection with such sale. The Genstar Parties shall provide each Stockholder with written notice at least ten (10) business days prior to the proposed date of consummation of the Genstar Approved Sale, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed Genstar Approved Sale, including the identity of the proposed transferee, the amount (by class, series or type, as applicable) of Capital Stock proposed to be Transferred to the transferee, the consideration for each class, series or type of Capital Stock being Transferred, any other material terms of the proposed Transfer and the date the Genstar Approved Sale is proposed to be consummated. If such other Stockholders fail to comply with the provisions of this Section 3.1, the Genstar Parties shall be entitled to treat such failure as a breach of this Agreement for which the Genstar Parties

 

16



 

shall be entitled to specific performance and/or damages. If the Genstar Parties have the option under the Purchase Agreement to elect the form and amount of consideration to be received in connection with a Genstar Approved Sale, all other Stockholders shall be given the same option.

 

3.2                                 Conditions. The obligations of the Stockholders with respect to the Genstar Approved Sale are subject to the conditions that, upon the consummation of the Genstar Approved Sale, each Stockholder (in his, her or its capacity as a holder of Capital Stock) shall have the right to receive the same terms and conditions with respect to each separate class, series or type of Capital Stock and form of consideration with respect to such Capital Stock as are received by the Genstar Parties, and no Genstar Party or Affiliate of a Genstar Party shall receive any consideration in the form of a closing fee, transaction fee, payment for non-competition agreement or for services under a consulting agreement, or any similar arrangement (other than payment of an Advisory Fee in connection with a Disposition, as such terms are defined in the Advisory Services Agreement between Genstar Capital, LLC and OnCURE Medical Corp., in an amount not to exceed that payable with respect to such Disposition pursuant to the provisions of such Advisory Services Agreement as in effect at Closing), unless such consideration is apportioned among all of the Stockholders on a pro rata ownership basis as though such consideration were for the purchase of each share of Capital Stock to be sold in such Genstar Approved Sale.

 

3.3                                 Terms of Bring-Along. Each selling Stockholder shall bear, and shall not be required to bear more than, his, her or its proportional share (based upon the consideration to be received for its Capital Stock to be Transferred) of the costs of such Genstar Approved Sale to the extent such costs are incurred for the benefit of all selling Stockholders and are not otherwise paid by the Company or the acquiring party. Costs incurred by Stockholders on their own behalf in connection with the Genstar Approved Sale will not be considered costs of the Genstar Approved Sale and shall be borne entirely by such Stockholders. Costs incurred by the Company and costs incurred by the Genstar Parties for the collective benefit of all selling Stockholders, in connection with the Genstar Approved Sale and not otherwise paid by the acquiring party shall be borne by the Company. Each Stockholder participating in a Genstar Approved Sale shall be obligated to join on a proportional share basis (based on the consideration to be received for its Capital Stock to be Transferred) in any indemnification or other obligations that are part of the terms and conditions of the Genstar Approved Sale (other than any such obligations that relate specifically to a particular Stockholder). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, (i) such Stockholder’s indemnification obligations in connection with any Genstar Approved Sale shall be several (and not joint and several) and no Stockholder shall be obligated to agree to indemnify or hold harmless the transferees in an amount in excess of the net proceeds paid or payable to such Stockholder in connection with the Genstar Approved Sale, (ii) the representations and warranties to be given by a Stockholder regarding such Stockholder shall be limited to representations and warranties regarding such Stockholder’s title to and ownership of Capital Stock, organization, authority and enforceability, conflicts with such Stockholder’s organizational documents and material agreements and brokers and finders retained by such Stockholder, and (iii) no Stockholder shall be required in connection with the Genstar Approved Sale to agree to be subject to any non-competition provisions or other provisions that restrict such Stockholder’s ability to invest in any Person.

 

17



 

3.4                                  Pro Rata Portion. For purposes of this Section 3, “Pro Rata Portion” shall mean, a portion of such Stockholder’s Capital Stock equal to the product of (i) all of the Stockholder’s Capital Stock multiplied by (ii) a fraction whose numerator is the total amount of Capital Stock being Transferred by the Genstar Parties in such Genstar Approved Sale and whose denominator is the total amount of Capital Stock then held (prior to giving effect to such Genstar Approved Sale) by the Genstar Parties.

 

3.5                                  Exclusions. This Section 3 shall not apply to any Permitted Transfers (excluding clause (vi) of the definition of Permitted Transfers),

 

3.6                                  Termination. This Section 3 shall terminate upon the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering.

 

Section 4. Right of First Refusal.

 

4.1                                  Transfer Notice. Subject to Section 2, in the event that any Stockholder proposes to effect a Transfer of Capital Stock (a “Transferring Holder”), the Transferring Holder shall promptly give written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) to the Company, the Genstar Parties and each other Stockholder at least forty-five (45) days prior to the closing of such proposed Transfer; provided, however, that this Section 4 shall not apply to a proposed Transfer of Capital Stock by the Genstar Parties. The Transfer Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed Transfer including the identity of the proposed transferee, the amount (by class, series or type, as applicable) of Capital Stock proposed to be Transferred to the transferee (the “Offered Shares”), the purchase price for each class, series or type of Capital Stock being Transferred, any other material terms of the proposed Transfer and the date the Transfer is proposed to be consummated.

 

4.2                                  Company Right. The Company shall have an option for a period of ten (10) days from receipt of the Transfer Notice to elect to purchase the Offered Shares at the same price and subject to the same terms and conditions described in the Transfer Notice. The Company may exercise such purchase option and, thereby, purchase all (or a portion of) the Offered Shares by notifying the Transferring Holder in writing before expiration of such ten (10) day period as to the number of Offered Shares which it wishes to purchase. If the Company gives the Transferring Holder notice that it desires to purchase Offered Shares, then payment for the Offered Shares shall be by check or wire transfer, against delivery of the Offered Shares to be purchased at a place agreed upon between the parties and at the time of the scheduled closing therefor, which shall be no later than forty-five (45) days after the Company’s receipt of the Transfer Notice, unless the Transfer Notice contemplated a later closing with the prospective third party transferee(s) or unless the value of the purchase price has not yet been established pursuant to Section 4.4. If the Company fails to purchase all of the Offered Shares by exercising the option granted in this Section 4.2 within the period provided, the Offered Shares shall be subject to the option granted to the Genstar Parties and the other Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement.

 

4.3                                           Genstar Parties’ and Other Stockholders’ Right. If the Company elects not to exercise, or fails to exercise in a timely manner, the Company’s option to purchase all of the Offered Shares pursuant to Section 4.2 within the ten (10) day period from the

 

18



 

Company’s receipt of the Transfer Notice, before the Transferring Holder may sell the Offered Shares pursuant to the Transfer Notice, the Genstar Parties and the other Stockholders shall have an option for a period of twenty (20) days after the termination of the Company’s option period under Section 4.2 above, to elect to purchase such Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion of any Offered Shares which were not purchased by the Company at the same price and subject to the same terms and conditions described in the Transfer Notice. The Genstar Parties and the other Stockholders may exercise such purchase option and, thereby, purchase all (or a portion of) such Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the remaining Offered Shares by notifying the Transferring Holder in writing before expiration of such twenty (20) day period as to the number of Offered Shares which such Genstar Party and the other Stockholders wish to purchase. If any Stockholder does not elect to purchase all of his, her or its Pro Rata Portion of such remaining Offered Shares, the remaining Stockholders who have elected to purchase at least their Pro Rata Portion of such remaining Offered Shares (each, a “Fully Electing Stockholder”) shall have an additional five (5) days in which to notify the Company that they additionally elect to purchase up to their Pro Rata Portion of the Offered Shares (or such other number as the Fully Electing Stockholders may mutually agree upon) not elected to be purchased by the non-Fully Electing Stockholders. If a Genstar Party or other Stockholder gives the Transferring Holder notice that it desires to purchase such remaining Offered Shares, then payment for such Offered Shares shall be by check or wire transfer, against delivery of such Offered Shares to be purchased at a place agreed upon between the parties and at the time of the scheduled closing therefor, which shall be no later than forty-five (45) days after the Genstar Parties’ and the other Stockholders’ receipt of the Transfer Notice, unless the Transfer Notice contemplated a later closing with the prospective third party transferee(s) or unless the value of the purchase price has not yet been established pursuant to Section 4.4. As used in this Section 4.3, the term “Pro Rata Portion” shall mean, with respect to each Stockholder, the product of (i) the Offered Shares multiplied by (ii) the fraction whose numerator is the total amount of Capital Stock then held by such Stockholder, and whose denominator is (y) the total amount of Capital Stock then issued and outstanding less (z) the shares of Capital Stock held by the Transferring Holder.

 

4.4                                   Valuation of Property. Should the purchase price specified in the Transfer Notice be payable in property other than cash or evidences of indebtedness, the Company (or the Genstar Parties and any participating Stockholders) shall have the right to pay the purchase price in the form of cash equal in amount to the value of such property. If the Transferring Holder and the Company (or the Genstar Parties) cannot agree on such cash value within ten (10) days after the identity of the purchaser(s) of the Offered Shares is determined pursuant to Sections 4.2 and 4.3, the valuation shall be made by an appraiser of recognized standing selected by such Transferring Holder and the Company (or the Genstar Parties) or, if they cannot agree on an appraiser within twenty (20) days after the identity of the purchaser(s) of the Offered Shares is determined pursuant to Sections 4.2 and 4.3, the Transferring Holder and the Company (or the Genstar Parties) shall each select an appraiser of recognized standing and the two appraisers shall designate a third appraiser of recognized standing, whose appraisal shall be determinative of such value. Any participating Stockholder agrees to be bound by, and will not object to, the appraisal as determined by any appraiser selected in accordance with this Section 4.4. The cost of such appraisal shall be shared equally by the Transferring Holder and the Company (or the Genstar Parties and any other Stockholder who participates). If the time for the closing of the Company’s purchase or the Genstar Parties’ and the other Stockholders’ purchase would have passed (i.e., forty-five (45) days after the receipt of the Transfer Notice) but

 

19



 

for the determination of the value of the purchase price offered by the prospective transferee(s), then such closing shall be held on or prior to the fifth business day after such valuation shall have been made pursuant to this subsection.

 

4.5                                    Failure to Exercise Right of First Refusal; Additional Transfers. If the Transferring Holder shall not have completed the Transfer of the Capital Stock covered by the Transfer Notice within one-hundred eighty (180) days following delivery to the Company of such Transfer Notice, then after such one-hundred eighty (180) day period, any proposed Transfer of such Capital Stock by the Transferring Holder shall again be subject to the right of first refusal set forth in this Section 4 and shall require compliance by the Transferring Holder with the procedures described in this Section 4.

 

4.6                                    Exclusions. The right of first refusal granted under this Section 4 shall not apply to any Permitted Transfer (excluding clause (vii) of the definition of Permitted Transfers).

 

4.7                                    Termination. This Section 4 shall terminate upon the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering.

 

Section 5. Tag-Along Rights.

 

5.1                                    Tag-Along Right. Subject to Section 2 and to the extent the Company, the Genstar Parties and the other Stockholders do not exercise their respective rights of refusal under Section 4, then any Stockholder (excluding the Transferring Holder) may elect to participate (each, a “Participant”) in any contemplated Transfer by delivering irrevocable written notice to the Transferring Holder within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Transfer Notice electing to participate in such Transfer pursuant to this Section 5. Such notice shall set forth, subject to Section 5.3, the amount of Capital Stock that such Participant desires to sell in the contemplated Transfer.

 

5.2                                    Extent of Right to Participate. Each Participant is entitled to participate in such Transfer to the following extent:

 

(i)                                 Each Participant (in his, her or its capacity as a holder of Capital Stock) shall have the right to receive the same terms and conditions and the same price per share with respect to the Capital Stock being Transferred as are being received by the Transferring Holder.

 

(ii)                              With respect to each Participant, such Participant may include in such Transfer an amount of Capital Stock that would entitle the Participant to receive for such Capital Stock up to such Participant’s Pro Rata Portion of the total consideration proposed to be paid for such class, series or type of Capital Stock set forth in the Transfer Notice, and the amount of Capital Stock otherwise being Transferred by the Transferring Holder shall be correspondingly reduced. If a Genstar Party is the Transferring Holder, the Transfer Notice shall be deemed to set forth the sum of all Capital Stock then held by each Genstar Party multiplied by a fraction whose numerator is the amount of Capital Stock being Transferred by the Genstar Party, and whose

 

20



 

denominator is the amount of all Capital Stock held by the Genstar Parties then issued and outstanding.

 

(iii)                               For purposes of this Section 5, “Pro Rata Portion” shall mean, with respect to each Participant, the product of (i) the Offered Shares multiplied by (ii) the fraction whose numerator is the total amount of Capital Stock held by such Participant, and whose denominator is the total amount of Capital Stock then issued and outstanding.

 

5.3                                Type of Interests. The Transferring Holder shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the agreement of the prospective transferee(s) set forth in the Transfer Notice to the participation of the Participants in any contemplated Transfer. In the event a prospective transferee is unwilling to purchase Capital Stock directly from such Participant, the Transferring Holder will purchase such Capital Stock simultaneously with the closing of the sale of the Offered Shares by the Transferring Holder.

 

5.4                                Terms of Tag-Along. The Transferring Holder and each Participant shall bear, and shall not be required to bear more than, his, her or its proportional share (based upon the consideration to be received for its Capital Stock to be Transferred) of the costs of such Transfer to the extent such costs are incurred for the collective benefit of the Transferring Holder and all Participants and are not otherwise paid by the Company or the acquiring party. Costs incurred by the Transferring Holder or a Participant on its own behalf will not be considered costs of the Transfer and shall be borne entirely by such Persons. Costs incurred by the Company shall be borne by the Company except as otherwise agreed by the Company and the applicable Stockholders. The Transferring Holder and each Participant shall be obligated to join on a proportional share basis (based on the consideration to be received for its Capital Stock to be Transferred) in any indemnification or other obligations that are part of the terms and conditions of such Transfer (other than any such obligations that relate specifically to the Transferring Holder or a Participant, such as indemnification with respect to representations and warranties given by the Transferring Holder or a Participant regarding such Person’s title to and ownership of Capital Stock, organization, authority and enforceability). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Transferring Holder nor any Participant shall be obligated in connection with such Transfer to agree (a) to indemnify or hold harmless the transferees in an amount in excess of the net proceeds paid or payable to the Transferring Holder or such Participant in connection with such Transfer or (b) to be subject to any non-competition or other provision that restrict such Stockholder’s ability to invest in any Person.

 

5.5                                Failure to Exercise Tag-Along Right; Additional Transfers. If the Transferring Holder shall not have completed the Transfer of the Capital Stock covered by the Transfer Notice within one-hundred eighty (180) days following delivery to the Company of such Transfer Notice, then after such one-hundred eighty (180) day period, any proposed Transfer of such Capital Stock by the Transferring Holder shall again be subject to the tag-along rights set forth in this Section 5 and shall require compliance by the Transferring Holder with the procedures described in this Section 5.

 

5.6                                Exclusions. The tag-along rights granted under this Section 5 shall not apply to (i) any Permitted Transfer (excluding clause (viii) of the definition of Permitted

 

21



 

Transfers) and (ii) any transfer of Capital Stock by any Genstar Party, up to an aggregate of $5,000,000 based on the issuance price thereof pursuant to the Genstar Subscription Agreement, that is completed within ninety (90) days of the date hereof by any Genstar Party to members of such Genstar Party’s strategic advisory committee or to the chief executive officers of such Genstar Party’s portfolio companies.

 

5.7                                  Termination. This Section 5 shall terminate upon the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering.

 

Section 6. Preemptive Rights

 

6.1                                  Grant of Right.

6.2                                  Issuance of New Securities. In the event the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities (as defined in Section 6.5), the Company shall give each Stockholder written notice of the intention of the Company or such Subsidiary (“New Issuance Notice”), describing the type of New Securities and the price and terms upon which the Company or such Subsidiary proposes to issue the same. Each Stockholder shall have twenty-five (25) days from the date of receipt of any such New Issuance Notice to agree to purchase up to such Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion of such New Securities for the price and upon the terms specified in the New Issuance Notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased. If any Stockholder does not elect to purchase all of its Pro Rata Portion of such New Securities, the remaining Stockholders who have elected to purchase at least their Pro Rata Portion of such New Securities (each, a “Fully Electing Stockholder”) shall have an additional five (5) days in which to notify the Company that they additionally elect to purchase up to their Pro Rata Portion of the New Securities (or such other number as the Fully Electing Stockholders may mutually agree upon) not elected to be purchased by the remaining Stockholders.

 

6.3                                  Exercise of Right. If any Stockholder exercises its preemptive rights pursuant to Section 6.2, the closing of the purchase of the New Securities elected to be purchased by such Stockholder shall take place within sixty (60) days after the Stockholder gives notice of such exercise, which period of time shall be extended in order to comply with applicable laws and regulations. Upon exercise of such preemptive rights, the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, as the case may be, and such Stockholder shall be legally obligated to consummate the purchase contemplated thereby and shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to secure any approvals required in connection therewith.

 

6.4                                  Right Not Exercised. In the event a Stockholder fails to exercise its preemptive rights pursuant to Section 6.2 within such twenty-five (25) day period, the Company or a Subsidiary of the Coihpany, as the case may be, shall have sixty (60) days thereafter to consummate the sale of such New Securities not elected to be purchased by the Stockholders at the price and upon terms no more favorable to the purchasers of such New Securities than specified in the New Issuance Notice. In the event the Company or such

 

22



 

Subsidiary has not sold the New Securities within such sixty (60) day period, the Company or such Subsidiary shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first again complying with this Section 6.

 

6.5                                   New Securities. “New Securities” means any Capital Stock or other equity securities of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, and any Warrants or other rights which are convertible into shares of, or exercisable or exchangeable for, such Capital Stock or other equity securities of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, but shall not include: (i) any issuance upon conversion or exercise of any Warrants (provided that the original issuance of such Warrants shall be subject to this Section 6), (ii) any securities issued as part of a split, dividend, distribution or recapitalization in which all similarly situated Stockholders or stockholders of any Subsidiary of the Company are treated in a similar manner, (iii) any securities issued or to be issued by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company in any Public Offering, (iv) any securities or Warrants issued or to be issued to the Board members, managers, directors, officers, employees, consultants or advisors of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to a benefit plan or similar arrangement or as a compensatory benefit or other inducement to hire a Board member, manager, director, officer, employee, consultant or advisor of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, including pursuant to the Stock Option Plan, provided that such issuances are approved by the Board, (v) securities issued to customers, suppliers or lenders of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company who are not Affiliates of the Company as an inducement to enter into a bona fide business transaction, provided that such issuances are approved by the Board and (vi) securities issued as consideration in connection with mergers, acquisitions of securities or assets by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other business combination transactions involving the Company or its Subsidiaries, provided that such issuances are approved by the Board.

As used in this Section 6, the term “Pro Rata Portion” shall mean, with respect to each Stockholder, the product of (i) the New Securities multiplied by (ii) the fraction whose numerator is the total amount of Capital Stock then held by such Stockholder, and whose denominator is the total amount of Capital Stock then issued and outstanding.

(ii)                              Company’s Right to Defer Registration. If the Company is requested to effect a Demand Registration and the Company furnishes to the Requesting Party a certified copy of a resolution of the Board stating that in the good faith determination of the Board such Demand Registration would materially interfere with any pending material financing, acquisition or corporate reorganization or other material corporate development involving the Company or any of the Subsidiaries of the Company or would require premature disclosure thereof, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the request for such registration from the Requesting Party; provided that, in such event, the Company may postpone a Demand Registration pursuant hereto only once in any 365-day period. If the Company shall so postpone the filing of a Demand Registration and if the Requesting Party within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice of postponement advises the Company in writing that the Requesting Party has determined to withdraw such request for registration, then such Demand Registration shall be deemed to be withdrawn and such request shall be deemed not to have been exercised.

Registrations under this Section 8.1 shall be on such appropriate registration form of the SEC (a) as shall be selected by the Company and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Requesting Party and (b) as shall permit the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition specified in the Requesting Party’s request for such registration.

 

(iv)                              Expenses. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each Demand Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 8.1.

 

(v)                                 Effective Registration Statement. The Company shall be deemed to have effected a Demand Registration if (a) the Registration Statement relating to such Demand Registration is declared effective by the SEC; provided, however, that no Demand Registration shall be deemed to have been effected if (x) such registration, after it has become effective, is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court by reason of an act or omission by the Company or (y) the conditions to closing specified in the purchase agreement or underwriting agreement entered into in connection with such registration are not satisfied because of an act or omission by the Company or (b) at any time after the Requesting Party requests a Demand Registration and prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the preparation of such Registration Statement is discontinued or such Registration Statement is withdrawn or abandoned at the request of the Requesting Party, unless the Requesting Party has paid to the Company in full the Registration Expenses in connection with such Registration Statement.

 

(vi)                              Limitations. The Company shall not be obligated to effect more than an aggregate of six (6) Demand Registrations pursuant to Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 on behalf of the Genstar Parties.

 

8.2                                 Form S-3 Registration Statement. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Section 8, including the limitations set forth in Section 8.1(v), in case the Company shall receive from a Requesting Party a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 or any successor form and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities held by such Requesting Party, then the Company will:

 

(i)                                     promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders; and

 

(ii)                                  as soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Requesting Party’s Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within ten (10) business days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that (x) the Company shall not be

 



 

obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance, pursuant to this Section 8.2 if Form S-3 or any successor form to such form is not available for such offering or (y) the Company shall furnish to each Requesting Party no later than twenty (20) business days after such request a certified copy of a resolution of the Board stating its good faith determination that such Registration Statement would materially interfere with any pending material financing, acquisition or corporate reorganization or other material corporate development involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or would require premature disclosure thereof, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 Registration Statement for a period of not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the request of the Requesting Party under this Section 8.2, provided that the Company may not postpone a registration more than once in any 365-day period.

 

(iii)                               The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with a registration under this Section 8.2.

 

8.3                               Piggyback Registrations:

 

(i)                                     Participation. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Section 8, if at any time after the date hereof the Company files a Registration Statement (other than (x) a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form to such Forms, (y) any registration of securities as it relates to an offering and sale by the Company or by employees of the Company pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit plan arrangement or (z) a registration that is the Company’s initial Public Offering of securities and which registration was not a Demand Registration, so long as no Capital Stock of any Stockholder is included in such registration) with respect to an offering that includes any shares of Capital Stock of the Company, then the Company shall give prompt notice (the “Piggyback Notice”) to the Holders and the Holders shall be entitled to include in such Registration Statement Registrable Securities held by them (such inclusion, a “Piggyback Registration”). The Piggyback Notice shall, subject to Section 8.4(i), offer the Holders the opportunity to register such number of shares of Registrable Securities as each Holder may request and shall set forth (a) the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement and (b) the number of shares of Capital Stock of the Company that is proposed to be included in such Registration Statement. Subject to Section 8.4(i), the Company shall include in such Registration Statement such shares of Registrable Securities for which it has received written requests to register such shares within ten (10) business days after the Piggyback Notice has been given.

 

(ii)                                  Expenses. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each registration of Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this Section 8.3.

 

(iii)                               Company Control.

Statement, provided that the Company shall promptly notify each Holder in writing of any such action and provided, further, that the Company shall bear all reasonable expenses incurred by such Holder or otherwise in connection with such withdrawn Registration Statement.

 

8.4                                                                                   Underwriters, priority, hold-back and certain other matters.

 

(i)                                                                                    Priority on Demand Registrations. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, if any Registrable Securities are included in any Registration pursuant to any of Sections 8.1, 8.2 or 8.3 and such registration involves an Underwritten Offering and the managing underwriter or underwriters of such proposed Underwritten Offering informs the Holders that the total or kind of securities which such Holders and any other Persons or entities intend to include in such offering would be reasonably likely to adversely affect such offering (including the price, timing or distribution of the securities in such offering), then the Company shall include in such registration:

 

(a)                             First, to the extent applicable, in a Registration initiated by the Company, all shares of Capital Stock of the Company included in such Registration for the account of the Company;

 

(b)                            Second, to the extent applicable, all Registrable Securities included in such Registration pursuant to Section 8.1, 8.2 or 8.3, pro rata among the Genstar Parties and the Additional Investors exercising such rights (based on the number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered by each of them pursuant to such Section 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3), and that, in the judgment of the managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without the adverse effect referred to above;

 

(c)                             Third, to the extent applicable, all Registrable Securities included in such Registration pursuant to Section 8.1, 8.2 or 8.3, pro rata among any Persons, other than the Genstar Parties and the Additional Investors, exercising such rights (based on the number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered by each of them pursuant to such Section 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3), and that, in the judgment of the managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without the adverse effect referred to above;

 

(d)                            Fourth, to the extent applicable, in a Registration other than one initiated by the Company, all shares of Capital Stock of the Company included in such Registration for the account of the Company and that, in the judgment of the managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without the adverse effect referred to above; and

 

(e)                                 Lastly, to the extent applicable, all other shares of Capital Stock of the Company included in such Registration at the request of any Person (on a pro rata basis among such Persons) other than the Company and Persons exercising Registration rights pursuant to Sections 8.1, 8.2 or 8.3, and that, in the judgment of the managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without the adverse effect referred to above.

 

29



 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Registrable Securities beneficially held by executives of the Company may be excluded if, in the judgment of the managing underwriter or underwriters, including such shares would have the adverse effect referred to above.

 

(ii)                                  Selection of Underwriters. If any offering pursuant to a Demand Registration involves an Underwritten Offering, the Persons exercising Registration Rights pursuant to Sections 8.1, 8.2 or 8.3 who hold a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration shall have the right to select the managing underwriter or underwriters to administer the offering, which managing underwriters shall be a firm of nationally recognized standing and reasonably satisfactory to the Company. In all other cases, the Company shall have the right to select the managing underwriter or underwriters to administer the offering, which managing underwriters shall be a firm of nationally recognized standing, and, if applicable, are reasonably satisfactory to the Requesting Parties.

 

(iii)                               Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Person may participate in any Underwritten Registration hereunder unless such Person (a) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to create any additional rights regarding the Registration of Registrable Securities otherwise than as set forth herein.

 

(iv)                              Holdback Agreement. Except with respect to Registrable Securities included in such registration pursuant to any of Sections 8.1, 8.2 and/or 8.3, in the event and to the extent requested by the managing underwriter of any Underwritten Offering, then if requested by the Company, each Holder agrees not to Transfer (including by way of any short sale or the sale or grant of any option to buy or sell) or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Company for one hundred eighty (180) days after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement pursuant to which such Public Offering shall be made (or such shorter period of time as may be specified by the managing underwriter or, as the case may be, the Company); provided, however that the foregoing restrictions shall not be applicable to any Permitted Transfer or any Transfer of Registrable Securities by a Stockholder who is a natural Person during such period to a member of such transferor’s Family Group, including pursuant to applicable laws of descent and distribution; provided, however that in each of the foregoing cases (x) the applicable transferee agrees to be bound by this Section 8.4(iv) (in addition to any other conditions applicable to such Transfer) and (y) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, such Transfer is acceptable to the managing underwriter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this Section 8.4(iv) shall only be applicable to a Holder to the same extent that the Genstar Parties are also subject to such restrictions.

 

(v)                                 Additional Parties. The Company may, with the consent of the Board, add additional Persons as Holders (if and to the extent they then hold securities, including Warrants and the like, of the Company that qualify as Registrable Securities) to this Agreement for purposes of Section 8, and the addition of such

 

30



 

additional Holders shall not be deemed to be an amendment of this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, the Company will not enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which is inconsistent with, or which is reasonably likely to impair, the rights granted to the Holders by this Agreement.

8.7         Indemnification.

 

(i)            Indemnification by Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its officers, directors, partners, members, employees and agents and each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus or other written materials of the Company prepared in connection with any related registration or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company will also indemnify underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders, if requested.

 

(ii)           Indemnification by Selling Holder of Underlying Securities. In connection with each Registration, each selling Holder will furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any Registration Statement or Prospectus and each selling Holder, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, employees and agents and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such selling Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or Prospectus and has not been corrected in a subsequent writing prior to or concurrently with the sale of the Registrable Securities to the Person asserting such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in such registration giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The Company shall be entitled to receive indemnities from underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, to the same extent as provided above with respect to information so furnished in writing by such Persons specifically for inclusion in any Prospectus or Registration Statement.

 

(iii)          Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (a) give prompt (but in any event within thirty (30) days after such Person has actual knowledge of the facts constituting the basis for indemnification) written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (b) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that any delay or failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall

 

37



 

relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is actually and materially prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure; provided, further, that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to select and employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person unless (x) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees or expenses, (y) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim within a reasonable time after receipt of notice of such claim from the Person entitled to indemnification hereunder and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person or (z) in the reasonable judgment of any such Person, based upon advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest may exist between such Person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the Person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person). If such defense is not assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that an indemnifying party shall not be required to consent to any settlement involving the imposition of equitable remedies or involving the imposition of any material obligations on such indemnified party other than financial obligations for which such indemnified party will be indemnified hereunder. No indemnified party will be required to consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Whenever the indemnified party or the indemnifying party receives a firm offer to settle a claim for which indemnification is sought hereunder, it shall promptly notify the other of such offer. If the indemnifying party refuses to accept such offer within twenty (20) business days after receipt of such offer (or of notice thereof), such claim shall continue to be contested and, if such claim is within the scope of the indemnifying party’s indemnity contained herein, the indemnified party shall be indemnified pursuant to the terms hereof. If the indemnifying party notifies the indemnified party in writing that the indemnifying party desires to accept such offer, but the indemnified party refuses to accept such offer within twenty (20) business days after receipt of such notice, the indemnified party may continue to contest such claim and, in such event, the total maximum liability of the indemnifying party to indemnify or otherwise reimburse the indemnified party hereunder with respect to such claim shall be limited to and shall not exceed the amount of such offer, plus reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) to the date of notice that the indemnifying party desires to accept such offer, provided that this sentence shall not apply to any settlement of any claim involving the imposition of equitable remedies or to any settlement imposing any material obligations on such indemnified party other than financial obligations for which such indemnified party will be indemnified hereunder. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim in any one jurisdiction, unless in the written opinion of counsel to the indemnified party, reasonably

 

38



 

satisfactory to the indemnifying party, use of one counsel would be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of one such additional counsel.

 

(iv)         Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding Sections 8.7(i) and 8.7(ii) is unavailable to an indemnified party, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, but also the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations, provided that no selling Holder shall be required to contribute in an amount greater than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such selling Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in such registration giving rise to such indemnification obligation, less the amount of any payments made by such selling Holder in respect of any of their indemnification obligations hereunder. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

8.8         Rule 144. Following the Company’s initial Public Offering and for so long as the Company is subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, the Company covenants that it will: (i) file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder, (ii) take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request in writing to the extent required from time to time to enable the sale of Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemption provided by Rule 144 (or any similar rule or rules then in effect) of the Securities Act and (iii) upon the reasonable written request of any Holder, deliver to such Holder all information regarding the Company required to be delivered in connection with Rule 144 (or any similar rule or rules then in effect) of the Securities Act.

 

8.9         Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 8 may be assigned only in connection with a Transfer of Capital Stock in accordance with this Agreement. Any transferee to whom rights under this Section 8 are assigned shall, as a condition to such Transfer, deliver to the Company an executed counterpart of this Agreement pursuant to which such transferee confirms its obligations pursuant to this Agreement, and makes the covenants of the transferor as set forth herein.

that Stockholder obtained through or in connection with Stockholder’s employment, consultancy and/or directorship with the Company prior to the date hereof) whether developed by Stockholder alone or in conjunction with others or otherwise, shall be and is the property of the Company and its Affiliates.

 

(ii)           Confidentiality Obligations.  Stockholder shall at all times keep all Confidential Information confidential and will not use such Confidential Information other than in connection with Stockholder’s discharge of Stockholder’s duties to the Company and its Affiliates, and will safeguard the Confidential Information from unauthorized disclosure.  This covenant is not intended to, and does not limit in any way Stockholder’s duties and obligations to the Company under statutory and common law not to disclose or make personal use of the Confidential Information or trade secrets.

(ii)           Non-Competition.  Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s Confidential Information is an important business asset, and that if Stockholder were to work for or engage in any activity competitive with the Company, that it is likely that Stockholder would use or disclose Confidential Information.  In addition, Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that he or she has and will continue to play an integral role in the development and maintenance of goodwill between the

(iii)          Non-Recruitment.  Stockholder agrees that the Company has invested substantial time and effort in assembling its present workforce. Accordingly, Stockholder covenants and agrees that during Stockholder’s employment, consulting engagement and/or directorship with the Company and for the Post-Termination Period, Stockholder shall not directly or indirectly entice or solicit any of the Company’s employees or contractors to leave their employment or engagement with the Company and, for the Post-Termination Period, Stockholder shall not hire any person employed by the Company during the twelve (12) month period prior to the date of termination of Stockholder’s employment, consulting engagement and/or directorship with the Company.

 

7.3           Effect of Other Agreements.  If Stockholder has entered into or enters into a separate written non-competition and/or confidentiality agreement with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, then such agreement supersedes Sections 7.1 and 7.2 of this Agreement so long as such agreement remains in effect.

 

7.4           Enforcement of the Covenants.

 

(i)            Remedies.  Stockholder acknowledges that should he violate any of the covenants contained in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 above (collectively “Covenants”), it will be difficult to determine the resulting damages to the Company and, in addition to any other remedies the Company may have, the Company shall be entitled to seek temporary injunctive relief without being required to post a bond and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damage.  The Company may elect to seek one or more of these remedies at the Company’s sole discretion on a case by case basis.  Failure to seek any or all remedies in one case shall not restrict the Company from seeking any remedies in another situation.  Such action by the Company shall not constitute a waiver of any of the Company’s rights.  Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that any breach of any of the Covenants during the period of Stockholder’s employment, consulting engagement and/or directorship with the Company shall be grounds for immediate termination for Cause.

 

10



 

(ii)           Severability and Modification of Any Unenforceable Covenant.  It is the parties’ intent that each of the Covenants be read and interpreted with every reasonable inference given to its enforceability.  However, it is also the parties’ intent that if any term, provision or condition of the Covenants is held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.  Finally, it is also the parties’ intent that if it is determined that any of the Covenants are unenforceable because of overbreadth, then the Covenants shall be modified so as to make such Covenants reasonable and enforceable under the prevailing circumstances.

 

(iii)          Tolling.  In the event of the breach by Stockholder of any Covenant, the running of the period of restriction shall be automatically tolled and suspended for the amount of time that the breach continues, and shall automatically recommence when the breach is remedied so that the Company shall receive the benefit of Stockholder’s compliance with the Covenants.  This Section 7.4(iii) shall not apply to any period for which the Company is awarded and receives actual monetary damages for breach by Stockholder of a Covenant with respect to which this Section 7.4(iii) applies.

 

(iv)          Construction.  Any reference to the Company in this Section 7 shall include the Company and all of its Subsidiaries.

Re:                               Advisory Services Agreement (this “Agreement”)

 

Gentlemen:

 

This letter serves to confirm our retention by OnCURE Medical Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “you”), to provide management, consulting and financial services to the Company, as follows:

 

1.                                       Effectiveness; Advisory Services.  This Agreement shall become effective upon the Closing (as defined below).  The Company has retained Genstar Capital, LLC (“Genstar” or “us”), and we hereby agree to accept such retention, to provide to the Company, when and if called upon, with certain management, business strategy, consulting and financial services of the type customarily performed by us.

 

2.                                       Closing Fee.  In consideration of services provided by us in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 5, 2006, by and among the Company, OnCure Holdings, Inc, a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), OnCure Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and the subject stockholders signatory thereto (the “Merger Agreement”) (the “Closing”), the Company shall pay to us a fee equal to $5,000,000 concurrently with the closing of the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement and shall reimburse us for our expenses incurred in connection therewith pursuant to Section 3(b) below.

 

3.                                       Fees and Expenses.

 

(a)                                  Fees.  In consideration for the services provided by us hereunder, the Company shall pay to us a management fee of $1,500,000 per annum (the “Management Fee”).  The Management Fee shall be payable in quarterly installments in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter (i.e., the last day of March, June, September and December of each such year).  Such quarterly payments shall be (i) subject to withholding as required by applicable law and (ii) pro rated for partial periods based on the actual number of days during such calendar quarter that we were retained hereunder.

 

(b)                                 Expenses.  In addition to our Management Fee, we will separately bill our reasonable expenses, including travel, legal, accounting and other expert, auto, cell phone and entertainment expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by

 



 

the Merger Agreement and our service to the Company.  The Company agrees to reimburse us, upon request (accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation) made from time to time, for such expenses.

 

(c)                                  In the event a Transaction (as defined below) is consummated, the Company agrees to pay us an advisory fee equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the Aggregate Consideration (as defined below) in connection with the Transaction (the “Advisory Fee”).  The Advisory Fee will be fully earned on the date of closing of the Transaction and shall be payable by the Company to Genstar in cash on the date of closing.

 

(d)                                 For purposes of this Agreement, a “Transaction” shall mean (i) the consummation of any transaction involving the direct or indirect acquisition by the Company (whether in one or a series of transactions) of all or a substantial amount of the assets or the capital stock or other equity interests of another entity, as well as any merger, recapitalization, restructuring or liquidation of another entity by its current owners, a third party or any combination thereof, or any other form of disposition which results in the effective sale of the principal business and operations of the entity by its current owners to the Company (a transaction described in this clause (i), an “Acquisition”), or (ii) the consummation of any transaction involving the direct or indirect disposition by the Company (whether in one or a series of transactions) of all or a substantial amount of its assets, equity interests or capital stock, as well as any merger, recapitalization, restructuring or liquidation of the Company (directly or indirectly) by its current owners, a third party or any combination thereof, or any other form of disposition which results in the effective sale of the principal business and operations of the Company by its current owners to another entity (a transaction described in this clause (ii), a “Disposition”), in the case of (i) and (ii) involving Aggregate Consideration in excess of $10,000,000.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, “Aggregate Consideration” shall mean (i) in connection with an Acquisition, the total fair market value (at the time of closing) of all consideration (including cash and all debt remaining on the acquired entity’s financial statements immediately prior to closing and other indebtedness assumed by the Company in connection with such Acquisition) paid or payable, or otherwise to be distributed, directly or indirectly, by the Company at the closing in connection with such Acquisition, but excluding all contingent consideration (including any earnouts or notes issued by the Company in connection with such Acquisition) and (ii) in connection with a Disposition, the total fair market value (at the time of closing) of all consideration (including cash and all debt remaining on the Company’s financial statements immediately prior to closing and other indebtedness assumed by the purchaser in connection with such Disposition) paid or payable, or otherwise to be distributed, directly or indirectly, to the Company or its stockholders at the closing in connection with such Disposition, but excluding all

5.                                       Subordination.  The payment of any amounts pursuant to this Agreement, including any Advisory Fee, the Management Fee and any amounts owed in respect of any indemnification obligations, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of (a) the Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement by and among Holdings, the Company, CDPQ Investments (U.S.) Inc.

Terms of Indemnity

 

This Attachment A is attached to and forms an integral part of that certain letter dated August 18, 2006 from us, Genstar Capital, LLC, to you, OnCURE Medical Corp. (the “Engagement Letter”).

 

In consideration of our agreement to provide you with certain services as set forth in the Engagement Letter, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless us and our affiliates and our and their respective officers, directors, members, limited partners, general partners, employees and agents and each other person, if any, controlling us or any of our affiliates (each such person, including ourselves, being an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any claim, demand, liability, loss, damage (including consequential damages), injury, settlement, award, fine, penalty, tax, deficiency, assessment, judgment and remediation related to, or arising out of, our engagement by you pursuant to, and our performance of services as contemplated by, the Engagement Letter and you will reimburse each Indemnified Person for all costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) as they are incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending any action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not pending or threatened and whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party.  You also agree that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to you or your security holders or creditors related to or arising out of our engagement pursuant to, and our performance of services as contemplated by, the Engagement Letter, except for any such liability for losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred by you that are finally judicially determined to have resulted from the bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person.

 

You will not, without our prior written consent, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any action, claim, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or reimbursement may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes a release of each Indemnified Person from any liabilities arising out of such action, claim, suit or proceeding.  No Indemnified Person seeking indemnification, reimbursement or contribution under this agreement will, without your prior written consent, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding referred to in the preceding paragraph.

 

If the indemnification or reimbursement provided for in the second paragraph of this Attachment A is judicially determined to be unavailable (other than in accordance with the terms hereof) to an Indemnified Person, in respect of any claim, demand, liability, loss, damage (including consequential damages), injury, settlement, award, fine, penalty, tax, deficiency, assessment, judgment, remediation, costs, and fees and expenses referred to herein, then, in lieu of indemnifying or reimbursing such Indemnified Person hereunder, you shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of any such claim, demand,

 

7



 

liability, loss, damage (including consequential damages), injury, settlement, award, fine, penalty, tax, deficiency, assessment, judgment, remediation, costs, and fees and expenses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to you, on the one hand, and us, on the other hand, of a transaction with respect to which services are rendered under the Engagement Letter (whether or not such transaction is consummated), or (ii) if (but only if) the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not available, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in such clause (i) but also the relative fault of each of you and us, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations, provided however, in no event shall our aggregate contribution to the amount paid or payable exceed the aggregate amount of fees actually received by us for the specific transaction with respect to which the services in question under the Engagement Letter are rendered.  For purposes of this agreement, the relative benefits to us and you of such a transaction shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (a) the total value paid or contemplated to be paid or received or contemplated to be received or paid by you or your shareholders, as the case may be, in such transaction(s) or services that are the subject of the Engagement Letter, whether or not any such transaction is consummated, bears to (b) the related fees paid or to be paid to us under the Engagement Letter.

 

The indemnification and reimbursement contained herein in no way limits any other indemnification or reimbursement to which we or our affiliates are entitled pursuant to any other agreements.

 

The provisions of this Attachment A shall apply to any services provided under the Engagement Letter and any modifications thereof, and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any termination or the completion of our services under the Engagement Letter.

The entire building, of which the Premises form a part, is hereinafter known as the “Building”. The Building and other buildings which comprise Corporex Center at 188 Inverness Drive West, if any, are situated upon a tract of land hereinafter known as the “Developed Parcel,” which is more particularly described in Exhibit “B”. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that the actual rentable area of the Premises shall be verified in accordance with the method of measurement described below and shall be identified in the Final Plans (as defined in Exhibit C). For purposes of this Lease, the actual rentable area of the Premises shall be determined by Landlord and shall be calculated as follows: the total usable area of the Premises determined according to the Building Owners and Managers Association International Standard Method for Measuring Floor Space in Office Buildings (ANSI/BOMA Z 65.1, 1996) multiplied by a factor of fifteen percent (15%) (the “Final Square Footage”).

(3)          CONDITIONS OF AND IMPROVEMENTS TO PREMISES:

 

(a) Immediately upon full execution of this Lease by all parties hereto, Landlord shall commence any alterations or improvements to the Premises indicated on the Final Plans as described on Exhibit “C.” Subject to Force Majeure as defined below, Landlord shall proceed diligently with said work and use its best efforts to complete same by March 1, 2008, if this Lease is fully executed and Tenant has provided Landlord with all required drawing approvals by November 30, 2007; but, if the alterations or improvements are not Substantially Completed or if the Premises are not available for occupancy by said date, Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord due to such delay, excepting only that subject to Tenant’s early occupancy of the Premises pursuant to the terms of Paragraph 4 of this Lease, the Term of this Lease shall not commence until the Tenant Improvements (as defined in Exhibit C) in the Premises is Substantially Complete such that Tenant may occupy the Premises and conduct its business therein, and the term shall expire sixty (60) months thereafter.

Any failure or delay in (a) the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, Temporary Certificate of Occupancy or other evidence of government approval, or (b) the timely completion of the alterations or improvements to the Premises required to be completed by Landlord hereunder, resulting from a Tenant Delay (as defined in Exhibit C) or Tenant’s failure to complete any work to be performed by Tenant at the

 



 

Premises or other delays in completion caused by Tenant and/or its employees, agents, or contractors, including without limitation, Tenant’s early access to the Premises as permitted pursuant to Paragraph 4 of this Lease, shall not be a basis to delay the Commencement Date.

 

Immediately after the actual Commencement Date of this Lease has been determined, if at variance with Paragraph (2), Landlord and Tenant shall execute a written instrument fixing the commencement and termination dates of this Lease.

 

Tenant taking possession shall be conclusive evidence that Premises were then in good order and satisfactory condition, except for the completion of Punch List items, if any.

Unless otherwise expressly provided below, if Tenant fails to pay rent or other charges due hereunder after any applicable grace or cure period, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, Landlord may use, apply or retain all or any portion of said deposit for the payment of any rent or other charge in default or for the payment of any other sum to which Landlord may become obligated by reason of Tenant’s default, or to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage which Landlord may suffer thereby. Said Security Deposit shall not earn interest thereon for the benefit of Tenant. No trust relationship is created herein between Landlord and Tenant with respect to said Security Deposit.

(b)         As used herein, the term “Lease Year” shall be as defined in Exhibit “D.”

 

(8) ADDITIONAL RENT:

Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant shall not be required to pay its Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses for the months of March, April and May, 2008.

 

(b)         At the Commencement Date, or prior to or at the commencement of any calendar year during the Term, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written estimate of any Additional Rent (such expense being hereinafter referred to as “Estimated Operating Expense Differential”) which may be due hereunder during the calendar year in which this Lease commences or for any such succeeding calendar year as the case may be. For each month, Tenant shall pay 1/12 of the amount of the Estimated Operating Expense Differential for that particular calendar year in addition to the Monthly Base Rent.

 



 

(c)  Landlord shall deliver to Tenant statements showing the actual Operating Expenses of the Building and the Developed Parcel and Tenant’s Proportionate Share thereof (hereinafter referred to as “Statement of Actual Adjustment”) within one-hundred twenty (120) days after the end of any calendar year in which Estimated Operating Expense Differential was paid by Tenant or due Landlord under the provisions hereof, provided, however, any delay in delivery of such Statement of Actual Adjustment shall not be grounds for any claim by or on behalf of Tenant. Within thirty (30) days after the delivery by Landlord to Tenant of such Statement of Actual Adjustment, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount by which the actual adjustment exceeds the amount paid by Tenant as Estimated Operating Expense Differential during said previous calendar year, or Landlord shall credit Tenant the amount by which the Estimated Operating Expense Differential exceeded the Statement of Actual Adjustment, or in the event this Lease shall have expired, Landlord will remit to Tenant the excess within said thirty (30) day time frame. Within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Statement of Actual Adjustment, Tenant, at its own cost and expense and at the offices of the Landlord in Denver, Colorado, where books and records for the Building are maintained or at such other place as Landlord may reasonably designate in Denver, Colorado, may examine Landlord’s books and records relating to the Operating Expenses to determine the accuracy of the statement in question. The cost of any audit, including the costs and expenses of services provided by Landlord’s employees or representatives, reasonable administrative costs, costs of copies, and such, shall be borne and paid by Tenant unless such audit determines that Landlord’s statement has overcharged Tenant by more than five percent (5%). If Landlord and Tenant cannot mutually agree upon a settlement of a disputed overcharge within ten (10) days of Tenant’s review, the parties shall select a mutually acceptable independent, certified public accountant to review the records at Tenant’s expense, and the decision of such accountant shall be final and binding upon the parties. Landlord shall pay the fee of such independent accountant and reimburse Tenant for Tenant’s reasonable costs and expenses (not to exceed Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00)) in the event such accountant determines that Landlord’s statement has overcharged Tenant by more than five percent (5%); provided, however, under no circumstances shall Landlord pay any fees, costs or expenses relative to an audit performed on a contingency basis. Tenant shall pay the fee of such independent accountant and reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s costs and expenses of such audit in all other events. In any event (whether the audit shows an overcharge or an undercharge), the Tenant’s share of Operating Expense Differential shall be adjusted to correspond with the figures determined in the audit. Further, Tenant shall have no right to audit the books and records of Landlord during any period that Tenant is in default under the terms of this Lease beyond any applicable grace or cure period. Tenant, its agents and representatives, agree that all information of any nature or kind provided or disclosed by Landlord during any such audit shall be held in strict confidence.

 



 

(d)         The computations set forth in this Paragraph shall be made on a calendar year basis except if this Lease commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar year or terminates on a day other than the last day of a calendar year, in such event the computations shall be made on the basis of the proportion that the number of days that this Lease was in effect for such calendar years bears to 365.

 

(e)          For the purposes of this Lease, Operating Expenses shall mean any and all commercially reasonable costs paid or incurred in connection with the operation, servicing, maintenance and repair of the Building and the Building’s proportionate share of Operating Expenses incurred in connection with the maintenance, repair and cleaning of areas within the Developed Parcel, which shall include, but not be limited to the following:

 

(i) All real estate taxes, assessments, governmental levies, county taxes or any other governmental charge, ordinary or extraordinary, unforeseen as well as foreseen, of any kind or nature whatsoever which are or may be assessed or imposed upon the Building and the Developed Parcel or upon rents collected by Landlord under the laws of the United States, Arapahoe County or the State of Colorado, as a substitute in whole or in part for taxes payable or hereinafter imposed on the Building and the Developed Parcel or resulting from or due to any change in method of taxation, but excluding any income, franchise, excise, corporation, estate, inheritance, succession, capital stock or transfer tax levied on Landlord to the extent that it is not a substitute in whole or in part for real estate taxes. For purposes of this paragraph, real estate taxes, assessments, governmental levies, county taxes or any other governmental charge shall be prorated to the Tenant based on the period of time indicated on the tax bill rather than the period of time in which it was paid. For example, if real estate taxes for Lease Year 1 are actually paid by Landlord in Lease Year 2 (i.e. the billing is in arrears) Tenant shall remain responsible via an Operating Expense adjustment for its proportionate share of the amount paid in Lease Year 2 indicated for the Lease Year 1 period. The foregoing shall also apply with respect to any other Operating Expenses paid in arrears.

Upon reasonable grounds therefor, Landlord may require that one or more separate meters be installed to record the consumption or use of electricity, or shall have the right to cause a reputable independent electrical engineer to survey and determine the quantity of electricity consumed by such excessive use. The actual cost of any such survey or meters and of installation, maintenance and repair thereof shall be paid for by Tenant.

(e)                             Landlord shall not be liable for its failure to maintain comfortable atmospheric conditions in all or any portion of the Premises due to heat generated by any equipment or machinery installed by Tenant (with or without Landlord’s consent) that exceeds generally accepted engineering design practices for normal office purposes. If Tenant desires additional cooling to offset excessive heat generated by such equipment or machinery, Tenant shall pay for auxiliary cooling equipment and its operating costs including without limitation electricity, gas, oil and water, and/or pay for excess electrical consumption by the existing cooling system, as appropriate.

 

(f)                                    The Landlord shall also provide the cleaning services detailed on Exhibit

without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act) (collectively, “Applicable Laws”), and mechanical, electrical codes and administrative measures relating to the operation of the Premises, the Building and the Real Property, including, without limitation, zoning and building ordinances of the City of Englewood, County of Douglas, Colorado; (3) there is no litigation or other proceeding, including without limitation a taking or condemnation, pending or threatened against or relating to Landlord’s interest in the Premises or the Building; (4) there are no material physical, mechanical, or structural defects to or on the Premises or the Building, and (5) there are no Hazardous Substances (as defined in Article 48) located in the Premises, the Building or the Developed Parcel. Landlord shall disclose to Tenant any Hazardous Substances located on, under or about the Premises, the Building or the Developed Parcel of which Landlord becomes aware of as of the effective date hereof other than customary office cleaning products used in the ordinary conduct of business by office tenants and which are used in a manner that complies with all federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and ordinances.

 

(e) Landlord represents and warrants that (i) to the best of Landlord’s knowledge, as of the Commencement Date, there have been no written complaints regarding the indoor air quality anywhere in the Building or otherwise related to the HVAC system, (ii) to the best of Landlord’s knowledge, as of the Commencement Date, there are no indoor air pollution and/or air quality problems that are in violation of Applicable Laws in the Building, and (iii) Landlord will notify Tenant in writing if any indoor air quality or environmental problem that is in violation of any Applicable Laws is discovered by Landlord in the Building, and to the extent required by Applicable Laws, will undertake to correct such problem in the manner required by Applicable Laws. If, during the Lease Term, Tenant discovers and reports to Landlord, in writing, its discovery that either the Premises or the Building is affected by indoor air pollution and/or air quality problems in violation of Applicable Laws, Landlord shall investigate the reported problem. If the existence of any such problem is either experienced by Landlord or confirmed by Landlord’s personnel or consultants engaged by Landlord to exist, and such existence of any problem is in violation of Applicable Laws and such Applicable Laws require Landlord to remediate, Landlord shall remedy any such violation in accordance with Applicable Laws. In the event Landlord is required to address the problem pursuant to Applicable Laws and is unable to address the problem within the time periods required under Applicable Laws, Tenant, may, upon prior written notice to Landlord, elect to terminate this Lease and thereafter to be fully relieved of and from all obligations hereunder, except any such obligation that otherwise may expressly survive this Lease.

 

For purposes of this Paragraph 13, to the “best of Landlord’s knowledge” shall mean the actual knowledge of Kim Koehn, without independent investigation.

 


 

(14) ALTERATIONS:

 

No alterations, modifications, additions or installations to the Premises the cost of which exceeds Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) in any one instance shall be made unless the Landlord shall first have given written approval of the plans and specifications thereof, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and shall have been protected, to the Landlord’s satisfaction, against any cost or damage incidental thereto. Prior to any approved construction, Tenant shall first have secured all necessary building and other permits. Tenant agrees to make such alterations, modifications, additions or installations to the Premises as may be required by building, OSHA, or other applicable regulations or local codes in the jurisdiction in which the Premises are located, if the need therefore arises as a result of Tenant’s particular manner of use of the Premises or as a result of any change in applicable law after the Commencement Date. Tenant shall further assure, in connection therewith, that any such alterations, modifications, additions or installations are constructed in full compliance with ADA standards. No alterations, modifications, additions or installations shall be made which in any way conflict with the reasonable requirements of Landlord’s insurance company. All such alterations, modifications, additions, or installations, when made, shall become, unless the Landlord elects otherwise as provided in Paragraph (15) hereof, the property of the Landlord and shall remain upon and be surrendered with said Premises as a part thereof at the end of the Term.

 

(15)                       FIXTURES AND UNAUTHORIZED USE OF PREMISES:

 

Tenant shall not without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, attach any fixtures in or to the Premises or change, alter, or make additions to the Premises nor permit any annoying sound device, install any additional locks, overload any floor or deface the Premises. Any attached fixtures or any alterations, additions, or improvements made or attached by Tenant shall on the expiration or termination of this Lease, if requested by Landlord at the time of their installation by Tenant, be promptly removed at Tenant’s expense, and the Premises restored by Tenant at its expense to its original condition, ordinary wear and tear and casualty excepted. Any such fixture, alteration, addition and/or improvement not requested to be moved shall remain on the Premises and shall become and remain the property of Landlord. All Tenant’s fixtures, installations, and personal property not removed from the Premises within five (5) calendar days following the expiration or termination of the Term and not required by Landlord to have been removed as provided in this Paragraph shall be conclusively presumed to have been abandoned by Tenant, and title thereto shall pass to Landlord under this Lease as by a bill of sale.

 

(16)                       WARRANTY OF QUIET ENJOYMENT:

 

Tenant, upon paying the rents and keeping and performing the covenants of this Lease to be performed by Tenant, shall peacefully and quietly hold, occupy, and enjoy said Premises during the Term or any renewal thereof.

 



 

(17) INTERRUPTION OF SERVICE:

 

Landlord does not warrant that any services to be provided by Landlord will be free from interruption due to causes beyond Landlord’s reasonable control. Unless caused by the negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors, the temporary interruption of services or unavoidable delay in the making of repairs shall not be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession nor render Landlord liable to Tenant for damage by abatement of rent or otherwise nor relieve Tenant from performance of its obligations under this Lease.

 

(18) RIGHTS RESERVED BY LANDLORD:

 

Landlord shall have the following rights exercisable without liability to Tenant:

 

(a)                             To change the name or street address of the Building upon a minimum of ten (10) business days notice to Tenant, provided, however, in such event, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the actual costs incurred by Tenant to replace any existing stock of stationery, letter head, marketing materials and business cards;

 

(b)                            To have pass keys to the Premises to be used according to the terms of this Lease;

 

(c)                             To require all persons entering or leaving the Building during such hours as Landlord may from time to time reasonably determine to identify themselves to a security person by registration or otherwise, and to establish their right to enter or leave, and to exclude or expel any peddler, solicitor or beggar at any time from the Developed Parcel or the Building;

 

(d)                            To approve the weight, size and location of safes, computers, and other heavy articles or equipment in and about the Premises and to require all such items and other office furniture and equipment to be moved in and out of the Building only at such times and in such manner as Landlord shall reasonably direct and in all events at Tenant’s sole risk and responsibility;

 

(e) Landlord may, at its expense, relocate the Tenant’s Premises to alternate premises on or above the fourth floor of the Building in order to facilitate leasing of the Building and/or construction and/or alterations of the Building; the relocated premises shall have comparable tenant finish build out and comparable views to that portion of the Premises being relocated and shall provide for a similar right to Tenant to the First Refusal Right as defined in Article 49 hereof and the Right of First Offer as defined in Article 50 all as determined in Tenant’s reasonable opinion. Landlord shall provide at least ninety (90) days prior written notice of such relocation, and shall reimburse Tenant for its reasonable moving and installment expenses, including voice and data cabling and a reasonable quantity of printable stationary, envelopes and business cards within thirty (30) days of the presentation of invoices. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may not relocate the Tenant’s Premises at any time during the last year of the Lease Term and may only exercise its relocation rights hereunder only once during the Lease Term. Within ten (10) business days following the relocation, Tenant shall enter

 



 

into an appropriate Lease amendment relocating the Premises effective as of the relocation date. The Monthly Base Rent shall not be adjusted upward if the relocation space is larger than the original Premises but may be adjusted downward on a per square foot of rentable area basis if the relocation space is smaller than the original Premises.

 

(t) Subject to applicable law with regard to the protection of private medical records, Landlord or its agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at reasonable times and upon reasonable prior notice for the purpose of inspecting the same, showing the same to prospective purchasers or lenders, making such alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable. Landlord may at any time place on or about the Premises, the Building or the Developed Parcel any ordinary “For Sale” or “For Lease” signs; and

 

(g)                            Within six (6) months prior to the date of the expiration of this Lease, Landlord or its agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times for the purpose of exhibiting the Premises to prospective tenants;

 

(h)                            At any time after the completion of the Building, Landlord shall have the right to change the arrangement or location of such of the following as are not contained within the Premises or any part thereof: entrances, signs, passageways, doors and doorways, corridors, stairs, toilets and other like public service portions of the Building; provided, however, that in no event shall Landlord make any change which shall diminish the area of the Premises, make any change which shall interfere with the access to the Premises from and through the Building, parking or change the character of the Building from that of a first-class office building.

 

(19) FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY:

 

Should the Premises be damaged or destroyed by any cause and such damage or destruction be of such a nature that it may be repaired or restored within a period of one hundred twenty (120) days after the occurrence, then this Lease shall not terminate, but it shall be the obligation of Landlord to repair or restore the Premises as nearly as possible to its condition prior to such damage or destruction, and the Landlord shall proceed promptly to make such repairs or restoration; provided, however, that such repairs or restoration can be made by Landlord for an amount not in excess of the amount recovered or the amount self-insured for by Landlord on the fire, extended coverage and all risk insurance. There shall be an equitable abatement of rent during the period that the Premises may be wholly or partially unavailable for use by Tenant for the operation of its business.

 

Should the damage or destruction be of a character that will not permit repair or restoration of the Premises within the one hundred twenty (120) days after the occurrence thereof, or if the cost of such repair or restoration exceeds Landlord’s insurance recovery, either Landlord or Tenant shall have the privilege of canceling the unexpired Term of this

 



 

Lease upon giving written notice to the other within forty-five (45) days after such destruction. If such notice is given, termination shall be effective on the date of the casualty.

 

(20) INSURANCE:

 

(a)                              Landlord shall keep the Building insured against loss by fire or other casualty . with both extended coverage and all risk coverage in an amount determined by the Landlord. In the event that the Landlord’s cost of premiums on such insurance increases solely due to the hazardous nature of the use and occupancy by Tenant of the Premises, then the entire increase in such insurance cost shall be paid by Tenant in a lump sum upon receipt of invoice from Landlord.

 

(b)                                 Landlord shall maintain public liability insurance for the common areas and the exterior of the Building, as well as the sidewalks and the parking lot on the Developed Parcel.

 

(c)                              Tenant shall, at all times during the Term, at its own expense, carry and keep in full force and effect in companies reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, public liability insurance in form satisfactory to Landlord, with limits of (a) at least ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00) for bodily injury, including death, and property damage, and (b) at least TWO MILLION DOLLARS ($2,000,000.00) aggregate. Tenant shall also carry Worker’s Compensation insurance for all of Tenant’s employees working in the Premises, in an amount sufficient to comply with applicable laws or regulations.

 

(d)                             All property in the Premises, in the Building or on the Developed Parcel, belonging to Tenant, its agents, employees, or invitees or to any other person, shall be there at the risk of Tenant or such other person only, and unless caused by the negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors, Landlord shall not be liable for damage thereto or theft, misappropriation or loss thereof. In furtherance of this provision, Tenant shall, during the entire Term, keep in full force and effect insurance upon all property situated in the Premises owned by Tenant or for which Tenant is legally liable and also upon fixtures and improvements installed in the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant. Such policies shall be for an amount of not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost with protection against (at a minimum) fire or other casualty, with both extended coverage and all risk coverage.

 

(e) All public liability insurance policies maintained by Tenant shall name the Landlord Parties (as hereinafter defined) as additional parties insured, and shall contain a provision that the same may not be canceled or materially changed without giving to the Landlord at least thirty (30) days written notice prior to expiration or cancellation of any such policy. For purposes of this Section, “Landlord Parties” shall mean Landlord, any lender whose loan is secured by a lien against the Building or the Developed Parcel, any manager of the Building or

 



 

Developed Parcel and the respective affiliates, subsidiaries, successors, assigns, heirs, officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, employees, agents and contractors of said Landlord, lender and Building/Developed Parcel Manager. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a certified certificate of insurance for each insurance policy. Furthermore, renewals of such insurance policies shall be presented to Landlord at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of such insurance coverages.

 

(f)                               Landlord and Tenant, for themselves and their respective insurers, agree to and do hereby release each other of and from any and all claims, demands, actions and causes of action that each may have or claim to have against the other for loss or damage to the property of the other, both real and personal, caused by or resulting from casualties insured against, or, if there is no insurance, caused by or resulting from casualties customarily insurable under ordinary fire insurance policies with both extended and all risk coverage, notwithstanding that any such loss or damage may be due to or result from the negligence of either of the parties hereto or their respective employees or agents.

 

(g)                            Landlord, its agents and employees shall not be liable for losses or damages as a result of any injury to any person or damage to property (except for damage to the Building itself) sustained by Tenant, by Tenant’s agents or employees, by any occupant of the Premises, the Building or the Developed Parcel, or by any other person, occurring or resulting directly or indirectly from any existing or future condition, defect, matter, or thing in the Premises, in the Building or on the Developed Parcel or from equipment or appurtenance therein or from accident or from any occurrence, act, or from negligence or omission of any tenant, occupant or any other person; but nothing in this Subparagraph (g) shall be deemed to relieve Landlord from liability for damages for bodily injuries to any person caused by or resulting from the negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors.

 

(21) INDEMNIFICATION:

 

Unless caused by the negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord, its employees, agents or contractors, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord (and any mortgagee of Landlord) harmless from and against all claims, actions, lawsuits, damages, liabilities, expenses and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) for any loss of life, bodily injury or property damage caused by or resulting from: 1) the use or occupancy of the Premises, the Building, or the Developed Parcel by the Tenant, its officers, agents, employees, invitees, guests, assignees or subtenants; 2) any occurrence within the Premises; 3) a breach of this Lease by the Tenant; or 4) any negligent act or omission or misconduct caused wholly or in part by the Tenant, its officers, agents, employees, invitees, guests, assignees or subtenants. Nothing in this Paragraph shall require Tenant to indemnify Landlord for damage to the Building, to the extent released in Paragraph (20)(f) of this Lease.

 



 

Landlord shall indemnify and hold Tenant (and any mortgagee of Tenant) harmless from and against all claims, actions, lawsuits, damages, liabilities, expenses and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) for any loss of life, bodily injury or property damage caused by or resulting from any negligent act or omission or misconduct caused wholly or in part by the Landlord, its officers, agents, employees, invitees, guests, or assignees, in the Premises, the office Building or the Developed Parcel. Nothing in this Paragraph shall require Landlord to indemnify Tenant for damage to the Building, the Premises or its contents, to the extent released in Paragraph (20)(f) of this Lease.

 

(22)                       BROKER’S COMMISSION:

 

Landlord shall pay a real estate commission for services rendered in procuring Tenant as a prospect for the Premises per the terms of a separate agreement. Landlord and Tenant agree that no broker or finder has been involved in the transaction described in this Lease other than Red Hawk Properties, Inc., who has acted as Tenant’s leasing agent and whose fees and commissions shall be paid by Landlord. Further, Landlord and Tenant agree that in the event any broker, salesman or other person that is not otherwise covered by this Lease makes any claim for any commission or fee based upon items or interests contemplated by this Lease that is not otherwise covered by this Lease the party through whom said broker, salesman or other person makes it claims shall indemnify and hold harmless the other party from said claim and all liabilities, costs and expenses relating thereto, including reasonable attorney’s fees, which may be incurred by such other party in connection with such claims.

 

(23)                            SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT:

 

(a)                             The Tenant accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any mortgage, deed of trust, or any other hypothecation or security now or hereafter placed upon the Developed Parcel and to any and all advances made on the security thereof and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. If any mortgagee shall elect to have this Lease prior to the lien of its mortgage, and shall give written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of said mortgage, or the date of recording thereof. With respect to security devices entered into by Landlord after the execution of this Lease, Tenant’s subordination of this Lease shall be subject to receiving assurance (“non-disturbance agreement”) from the Lender that Tenant’s possession and this Lease, including any options to extend the term hereof, will not be disturbed so long as Tenant is not in default hereof and attorns to the lender and/or record owner of the Premises. Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable effort to obtain such non-disturbance agreement from the Lender on Lender’s standard form, which commercially reasonable efforts shall in no event require the expenditure of any costs by Landlord, including attorney’s fees.

 

(b)                                 Although the provisions of Paragraph (23)(a) shall be self operative, Tenant agrees, upon reasonably request of Landlord or Landlord’s lender, to execute any

 



 

documents required to effectuate any attornment, a subordination or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any mortgage. Tenant’s failure to execute such documents within 10 days after written demand shall constitute a material default by Tenant hereunder.

 

(c) If by reason of a default under the mortgage upon the Developed Parcel, the interest of Landlord in the Developed Parcel is terminated, the Tenant will attorn to the holder of such mortgage (or to any person or entity to which the Developed Parcel is conveyed by such holder) and will recognize such holder, person or entity as Tenant’s landlord under this Lease. Tenant agrees to execute and deliver, at any time and from time to time, upon the request of Landlord or of the Landlord’s lender any instrument which may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such attornment. Tenant further waives the provision of any statute or rule of law now or hereafter in effect which may give or purport to give Tenant any right of election to terminate this Lease or to surrender possession of the Premises in the event any proceeding is brought by Landlord’s lender to terminate the interest of the Landlord in the Developed Parcel, and agrees that this Lease shall not be affected in any way whatsoever by any such proceeding.

 

(24) ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING:

 

Tenant shall not assign, mortgage or encumber this Lease nor sublet or permit the Premises or any part thereof to be used by others, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The consent by Landlord to an assignment or subletting shall not be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining the consent of the Landlord to any further assignment or subletting. The consent by Landlord will not be given unless: a) the subtenant or assignee assumes the Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; and b) unless otherwise agreed, Tenant remains liable for all its obligations under this Lease, including extensions or renewals provided for herein. Nor will consent be given if Tenant is in default under this Lease. Tenant shall notify Landlord of the name of each proposed assignee or subtenant and shall provide information to Landlord pursuant to the fmancial standing of the proposed assignee or subtenant.

 

In no event shall a proposed subtenant or assignee be an existing tenant, subtenant or assignee of the Building or any other building located on the Developed Parcel. In no event shall the proposed subtenant or assignee be a person or entity with whom Landlord or its agent is negotiating and to or from whom Landlord, or its agent, has given or received any written or oral proposal within the past one hundred twenty (120) days regarding a lease of space in the Building or any other building located on the Developed Parcel.

 

Landlord reserves the right to require as additional rent, fifty percent (50%) of any subtenant or assignee rent which is in excess of the base rent and additional rent then being paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease, and any other profit or gain realized by

 



 

Tenant from such assignment or subletting. All sums payable hereunder by Tenant shall be paid as additional rent upon receipt by Tenant or upon request by Landlord.

 

Tenant agrees to pay and reimburse Landlord for any actual and reasonable administrative costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by Landlord in the review and approval and/or in the granting of any consent to any assignment or subletting of any part or all of the Premises by Tenant not to exceed Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000.00).

 

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant may assign its entire interest under this Lease or sublet the Premises to any entity controlling or controlled by or under common control with Tenant or to any successor to Tenant by purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization (hereinafter, collectively, referred to as “Permitted Transfer”) without the consent of Landlord, provided: (1) Tenant is not in default under this Lease; (2) if such proposed transferee is a successor to Tenant by purchase, said proposed transferee shall acquire all or substantially all of the stock or assets of Tenant’s business or, if such proposed transferee shall acquire all or substantially all of the stock or assets of Tenant’s business or, if such proposed transferee is a successor to Tenant by merger, consolidation or reorganization, the continuing or surviving corporation shall own all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant; (3) such proposed transferee operates the business in the Premises for the Permitted Use and no other purpose; and (4) Tenant shall give Landlord written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of the proposed purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, unless otherwise expressly provided below, Landlord shall have the option to exclude from the Premises covered by this Lease (“recapture”), the space proposed to be sublet or subject to an assignment, effective as of the proposed commencement date of such sublease or assignment provided, however, if Landlord elects to recapture as to such portion of the Premises, Tenant shall have the right within fifteen (15) days after notice of Landlord’s exercise of its right to terminate to withdraw Tenant’s request for such consent and remain in possession of the Premises under the terms and conditions hereof. If Landlord elects to recapture, Tenant shall surrender possession of the space proposed to be subleased or subject to the assignment to Landlord on the effective date of recapture of such space from the Premises, such date being the termination date for such space. Effective as of the date of recapture of any portion of the Premises pursuant to this section, the Monthly Base Rent, rentable square footage of the Premises and the Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be adjusted accordingly. Landlord’s recapture right hereunder for space proposed to be sublet shall be expressly limited to subleases of 1,000 rentable square feet or more of the total Premises. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed to by the parties hereto that Landlord’s recapture rights hereunder for space subject to an assignment shall be unlimited and shall apply to any assignment hereunder, except for a Permitted Transfer.

 



 

(25) EMINENT DOMAIN:

 

Tenant agrees that if the Premises, or any part thereof, shall be taken or condemned for public or quasi-public use or purpose by any competent authority, Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord and shall not have any claim or right to any portion of the amount that may be awarded as damages or paid as a result of any such condemnation, whether such amount be awarded for diminution in value to the leasehold or to the fee. Except as otherwise provided below relative to separate claims of Tenant, it is agreed that the full amount of such award, if any, made by the taking authorities shall be paid to and retained by Landlord, free of any claim by Tenant to any portion thereof, and all rights of Tenant to damages therefor, if any, are hereby assigned by Tenant to Landlord; provided, however, that any compensation awarded Tenant for Tenant’s personal property and moving costs, shall be and remain the property of Tenant. In the event that all or substantially all of the Premises shall be taken or condemned by any governmental authority, then the Term shall cease and terminate from the date on which the Tenant is required, by such taking authority, to surrender possession of said Premises and the Tenant shall not have nor make any claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired Term. In the event that a portion of the Premises shall be taken or condemned by any governmental authority, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Rent shall abate in an amount which bears the same ratio to the Annual Base Rent as the value of the floor space taken bears to the value of the total floor space of the Premises. All rentals and other sums payable by Tenant hereunder shall be adjusted to the date on which Tenant is required, by the taking authority, to surrender possession of the Premises or portion of the Premises so taken. Nothing contained herein shall prevent Tenant from seeking a separate award, at Tenant’s own costs and expense, from the condemning authority for moving expenses and business interruption costs or the taking of Tenant’s fixtures or other personal property in the Premises owned by Tenant provided Tenant’s claim does not interfere with or reduce Landlord’s award.

 

(26) ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE/LANDLORD’S WAIVER AND CONSENT:

 

(a)                             Tenant shall at any time upon not less than fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice from Landlord execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing: (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease as so modified, is in full force and effect) and the date to which rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, and (ii) acknowledging that there are no uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed. Such statement shall be in a form as Landlord, purchaser or mortgagee shall reasonably require. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser or mortgagee of the Premises.

 

(b)                            Tenant’s failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be a material default under this Lease or, at Landlord’s option, Tenant’s failure to furnish such statement shall be conclusive upon Tenant: (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord; (ii) that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance nor does Tenant have any existing defenses or offsets, claims or counterclaims against the enforcement of

 



 

the Lease by Landlord; (iii) that not more than one month’s rent has been paid in advance; (iv) that Tenant has no claim against Landlord for any security or other deposits; (v) that Tenant has made no agreement with Landlord nor any agent, representative or employee of Landlord concerning free rent, partial rent, rebate of rental payments or any other type of rental or other concession, except as expressly set forth in the Lease; and (vi) that all improvements to be constructed by Landlord, if any, have been completed and accepted by Tenant and any tenant construction allowances have been paid in full by Landlord.

 

(c) On or prior to Tenant taking possession of the Premises, Landlord shall execute the Landlord’s Waiver and Consent in favor of Tenant’s lender, Merrill Lynch Capital, in the substantially same form as shown on Exhibit I.

 

(27) DEFAULT: REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT:

 

(a)                             Each of the following shall be a Default hereunder: (1) the failure of Tenant to pay when due any installment of Monthly Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other charge hereunder within five (5) days after written notice from Landlord advising of such default; (2) the failure of Tenant to timely or fully perform or observe any other provision of this Lease and the continuation of such failure for thirty (30) days after Landlord gives Tenant written notice thereof (provided, however, Tenant shall have no such grace period with respect to any subordination or estoppel agreement required pursuant to the provisions of Section 23 and Section 26 hereof or for any items listed in clauses (3) through (7) herein); (3) the breach by Tenant of any material representation or warranty in this Lease; (4) the filing by or against Tenant or any guarantor hereof of any petition in bankruptcy; (5) the filing of any voluntary or involuntary proceeding instituted to declare Tenant or any guarantor hereof insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they mature; (6) the making by Tenant or any guarantor hereof of an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (7) the appointment of a trustee or receiver for Tenant or any guarantor hereof or for the major part of Tenant’s or guarantor’s property.

 

(b)                            Upon and after a Default, Landlord shall have the following remedies in addition to all other remedies allowed at law or in equity or elsewhere in this Lease, all of which shall be cumulative and not in the alternative and any or all of which may be exercised successively or concurrently and at such time or times as Landlord elects, except as provided to the contrary below:

 

(i) Without further notice except as required by applicable laws, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease or to terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease, but in either event Tenant shall surrender possession of and vacate the Premises on or before the date specified in Landlord’s notice to Tenant of either such termination and Landlord shall have the further right to enter the Premises with or without process of law, retake possession of the

 


 

Premises and expel or remove Tenant (or anyone occupying the Premises) and its effects therefrom without being liable or subject to prosecution or any claim for damages therefor. Should Landlord reenter or take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or any notice provided for by applicable law, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, relet the Premises or any part, either alone or in conjunction with other portions of the Building, in Landlord’s or Tenant’s name but for the account of Tenant, for such periods (which may be greater or less than the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term) and on such conditions and upon such other terms (which may include commercially reasonable concessions of free rent and commercially reasonable alterations and repairs of the Premises) as Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, determines and Landlord may collect the rents therefor. Subject to applicable law, Landlord is not in any way responsible or liable for failure to relet the Premises, or any part thereof, or for any failure to collect any rent due upon such reletting. If there is other unleased space in the Building, Landlord may lease such other space without prejudice to its remedies against Tenant. No such reentry, repossession or notice from Landlord, or any other acts or omissions of Landlord, including maintenance, preservation, efforts to relet the Premises, or appointment of a receiver, shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease unless specific notice of such intention is given Tenant. Landlord reserves the right following any reentry and/or reletting to exercise its right to terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice, in which event this Lease will terminate as specified in the notice. If Landlord takes possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord (i) the rent which would be payable if repossession had not occurred, less (ii) the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Premises after deducting all of Landlord’s actual expenses incurred in connection with such reletting, including all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, attorneys’ fees, expenses of employees, alteration, and repair costs (collectively “Reletting Expenses”). If, in connection with any reletting, the new lease term extends beyond the Term or the premises covered thereby include other premises not part of the Premises, a fair apportionment of the rent received from such reletting and the Reletting Expenses, will be made in determining the net proceeds received from the reletting. In determining such net proceeds, rent concessions will also be apportioned over the term of the new lease. Tenant shall pay such amounts to Landlord monthly on the days on which the rent would have been payable if possession had not been retaken, and Landlord is entitled to receive the same from Tenant on each such day. In the alternative, if Landlord elects hereunder to terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to recover from Tenant within ten (10) days after Landlord’s demand a sum equal to the entire amount of the Annual Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges hereunder for the

 



 

remainder of the Term. If, due to escalation mechanisms in this Lease or other factors, the balance of the Annual Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges due for the remainder of the Lease term cannot be precisely determined as of the date of such termination, Tenant shall pay the amount Landlord reasonably estimates would result from such escalation mechanisms and other factors. Upon the expiration of the Term or at such earlier time as may be practicable, Landlord shall determine the actual Annual Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges hereunder and Landlord or Tenant shall pay to the other the resulting excess or deficiency, as the case may be. If this Lease terminates pursuant to this Section, Tenant remains liable to Landlord for damages in an amount equal to the present value of this Lease for the then balance of the Term. The present value shall be determined by discounting all future excess rent amounts at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. Landlord may collect such damages from Tenant monthly on the days on which the rent would have been payable if this Lease had not terminated and Landlord shall be entitled to receive the same from Tenant on each such day. Alternatively, if this Lease is terminated, Landlord at its option may recover forthwith against Tenant as damages for loss of the bargain and not as a penalty an amount equal to the worth at the time of termination of the excess, if any, of the rent reserved in this Lease for the balance of the Term over the then Reasonable Rental Value of the Premises for the same period plus all Reletting Expenses. “Reasonable Rental Value” is the amount of rent Landlord can obtain for the remaining balance of the Term.

 

(ii)           Landlord shall have the right but not the duty to perform any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder which Tenant has not timely and fully performed and to charge to Tenant the cost of such performance, together with a service charge of ten percent (10%) of such cost, to compensate Landlord for administrative and other services associated with such performance.

 

(iii)          Landlord shall have the right to suspend or discontinue the provision of services to the Premises and the performance of any other obligation of Landlord hereunder.

 

(iv)  If Landlord is not permitted to terminate this Lease as provided above because of the provisions of Title 11 of the United States Code relating to bankruptcy, then Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant as a debtor in possession or any trustee for Tenant, within no more than fifteen (15) days upon request by Landlord to the Bankruptcy Court, to assume or reject this Lease and Tenant on behalf of itself, and any trustee, agrees not to seek or request any extension or adjournment of any application by Landlord to assume or reject this Lease. In such event, Tenant or any trustee for Tenant may only assume this Lease if (A) it cures or provides adequate assurance that the Tenant will promptly cure

 



 

any default hereunder, (B) compensates or provides adequate assurance that Tenant will promptly compensate Landlord for any actual pecuniary loss of Landlord resulting from Tenant’s defaults hereunder, and (C) provides adequate assurance of performance during the full Term of all of the Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. In no event after the assumption of this Lease shall any then-existing default remain uncured for a period in excess of the earlier of ten (10) days or the time period set forth herein.

 

(v)  Landlord shall have the right to recover from Tenant, if Landlord relets or attempts to relet the Premises, all actual costs and expenses incurred in connection with such reletting, including without limitation broker’s commissions, advertising costs, reasonable legal fees for lease preparation and negotiations and the cost of alterations or improvements to the Leased Premises.

 

(c)           Any property which may be reasonably removed from the Premises by the Landlord pursuant to the authority of the Lease or of law to which the Tenant is or may be entitled may be handled, removed, or stored in a commercial warehouse or otherwise by the Landlord at the risk, cost, and expense of the Tenant. Landlord shall in no event be responsible for the value, preservation, or safekeeping thereof. The Tenant shall pay to the Landlord, upon demand, all expenses incurred in such removal and all storage charges against such property. Any such property of Tenant not removed from the Premises or retaken from storage by Tenant within thirty (30) days after the end of the term of this Lease, however terminated, shall be conclusively deemed to have been abandoned by Tenant.

 

(d)           If Tenant violates any of the terms and provisions of this Lease or defaults in any of its obligations hereunder other than the payment of rent or other sums payable hereunder, such violation may be restrained or such obligation enforced by injunction.

 

(e)   Any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees) in enforcing any of its rights or remedies under this Lease shall be deemed to be Additional Rental and shall be repaid to Landlord by Tenant within thirty (30) days of written demand.

 

(f)            Acceptance of partial Rent payment shall not constitute a waiver of any of Landlord’s rights available under this Lease or at law or equity, including, without limitation, the right to recover possession of the Premises.

 

(g)           In the event of a Default by Landlord, beyond all applicable notice and cure periods, or if no notice and cure period is otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, the failure of Landlord to commence such cure within thirty (30) days after written notice from Tenant specifying such failure and thereafter diligently

 



 

prosecuting the same to completion no later than ninety (90) days after Tenant’s written notice therefor, then Tenant may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, recover damages arising as a result of such default. In no event shall Landlord be liable for consequential damages incurred by Tenant, including, but not limited to lost profits or interruption of business as a result of any alleged default by Landlord hereunder.

 

(28)         HOLDING OVER:

 

Tenant shall pay Landlord for each month, or part thereof, that Tenant retains possession of the Premises or any part thereof after termination or expiration of the Term of this Lease 125% of the then current Monthly Base Rent during the first holdover month and 150% of the then current Monthly Base Rent thereafter. Tenant hereby agrees that if it fails to surrender the Premises within ninety (90) days from the end of the Term, or any renewal thereof, Tenant will be liable to Landlord for any and all actual damages which Landlord shall suffer by reason thereof, and Tenant will indemnify and hold Landlord harmless against and from all claims and demands made by any succeeding tenant against Landlord, founded upon delay by Landlord in delivering possession of the Premises.

 

This Lease shall terminate at the end of the Term without the necessity of any notice from either Landlord or Tenant to terminate the same, and Tenant hereby waives notice to vacate or quit the Premises and agrees that Landlord shall be entitled to the benefit of all provisions of law respecting the summary recovery of possession of the Premises from a tenant holding over to the same extent as if statutory notice has been given. If Tenant holds over upon the expiration of the Lease with Landlord’s consent, but without any written agreement, such holding over shall be deemed a month-to-month tenancy at the rate provided above in this Section 28.

 

(29)        REDELIVERY OF PREMISES:

 

Without limiting the provisions of Section 13 hereof, Tenant shall, on the expiration of this Lease, deliver up the Premises in as good order and condition as it now is or may be put by Landlord, reasonable use and ordinary wear and tear thereof and damage by fire or other unavoidable casualty, condemnation or appropriation excepted. Upon expiration of this Lease, Tenant shall promptly surrender all keys to the Premises to Landlord.

 

(30)        CUMULATIVE REMEDIES:

 

No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at law or in equity.

 

(31)        INTEREST ON PAST DUE OBLIGATIONS:

 

Any amount owed by Tenant to Landlord which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum from the due date of such amount. However, interest shall not be payable on late charges to be paid by Tenant under this

 



 

Lease. The payment of interest on such amounts shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease. If the interest rate specified in this Lease is higher than the rate permitted by law, the interest rate is hereby decreased to the maximum legal interest rate permitted by law.

 

(32)         ATTORNEYS’ FEES:

 

In the event any sums payable to Landlord or Tenant hereunder are collected at law or through any attorney at law, either Landlord or Tenant shall pay all attorneys’ fees and expenses and related litigation costs which the other party incurs in enforcing any obligation of the Lease.

 

Tenant further agrees to pay and reimburse Landlord for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord for third party providers) in connection with any consent, review and/or approval requested by Tenant including, without limitation, any assignments, subleases, name changes, tenant financing and lease subordination, or other related consents requested by Tenant in an amount not to exceed Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000.00).

(34) LANDLORD’S LIABILITY:

 

(a)  The term “Landlord” as used herein shall mean only the owner or owners at the time in question of the fee title. In the event of any transfer of such title, Landlord herein named (and in case of any subsequent transfers, then the grantor) shall be relieved from and after the date of such transfer of all liability as respects Landlord’s obligations thereafter to be performed, provided that any funds in the hands of Landlord or the then grantor at the time of such transfer, in which Tenant has an interest, shall be delivered to the grantee. The obligations contained in this

 



 

Lease to be performed by Landlord shall, subject as aforesaid, be binding on Landlord’s successors and assigns, only during their respective periods of ownership. Tenant shall attorn to any such purchaser, grantee, assignee or transferee.

 

(b)  Tenant shall look solely to the estate and property of Landlord in the Developed Parcel including the rents and profits derived therefrom for the collection of any judgment (or other judicial process) requiring the payment of money by Landlord in the event of any default or breach by Landlord with respect to any of the terms and provisions of this Lease to be kept, observed, and performed by Landlord, subject, however, to the prior rights of any mortgagee of all or any part of the property; no other assets of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other judicial process for the satisfaction of Tenant’s claim. Nothing in this Lease shall be construed in any event whatsoever to impose any personal liability upon the trustees, officers or the shareholders of the Landlord, or of the general or limited partners comprising the Landlord, as Landlord herein or otherwise.

 

(35)         INCORPORATION OF PRIOR AGREEMENTS: AMENDMENTS:

 

This Lease including any exhibits, schedules or attachments, hereto, contains all agreements of the parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein. No prior agreement or understanding pertaining to any such matter shall be effective. This Lease may be modified in writing only, signed by the parties in interest at the time of the modification. Except as otherwise stated in this Lease, Tenant hereby acknowledges that neither any cooperating broker on this transaction nor the Landlord or any employees or agents of any of said persons has made any oral or written warranties or representations to Tenant relative to the condition or use by Tenant of said Premises, the Building or the Developed Parcel.

 

(36)        WAIVERS:

 

(a)          No waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof shall be deemed a waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by Tenant of the same or any other provision. Landlord’s consent to, or approval of, any act shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Landlord’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Tenant.

 

(b)         The acceptance of rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any provision hereof, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent.

 

(37) SEVERABILITY:

 

If any provision of this Lease (or portion thereof) shall at any time be deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, this Lease shall

 



 

not be invalidated thereby. Any such provision shall be construed to be valid, legal and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law and this Lease shall be read and construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had not been contained herein.

(43)         JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS:

 

In case two (2) or more persons or entities shall constitute the Tenant hereunder, the covenants, obligations, and agreements herein made binding upon the Tenant, shall be the joint and several obligations of such persons or entities, and in the event of the death or dissolution of any one or more of them, the survivors or survivor shall succeed to all Tenant’s right, title and interest hereunder.

 



 

(44) GUARANTORS.

 

Intentionally left blank.

 

(45)         MECHANICS’ LIEN:

 

In the event Tenant performs any alterations in accordance with Paragraph 14 of this Lease, Tenant will not cause or permit to stand, through any action taken by it, any mechanics’, laborer’s, materialman’s or other lien against the Premises or the Building or improvement thereon in connection with work of any character performed or material furnished to the Premises. Nothing in this Lease may be construed as creating an agency relationship between Landlord and Tenant for purposes of performing alterations, improvements, or repairs. If Tenant in good faith desires to contest the validity or amount of any such lien Landlord agrees to cooperate in the institution, defense and maintenance of any such action or proceeding, provided that Tenant will indemnify and hold Landlord harmless for and from any and all expenses, costs and liabilities in connection with any such contest. Any such action or proceeding may be instituted and maintained by Tenant only if and so long as the enforcement of any such lien, by sale or otherwise, will be stayed by reason of such action or proceeding or by bond filed or a monetary deposit paid into court as a part of such action or proceeding. Promptly after the determination of any such contest adverse to the Tenant and prior to the enforcement of any such lien, Tenant will pay and discharge the amount of any such lien, together with any related interest, costs and penalties.

 

(46)         FINANCIAL STATEMENT:

 

Tenant will provide to Landlord no more often than one time in any calendar year upon twenty (20) business days written request Tenant’s latest financial statements (quarterly or annual). Landlord shall be obligated to sign a non-disclosure agreement prior to its review of Tenant’s financial statements and may only share such statements with its mortgagee, prospective mortgagees, purchasers and partners, and attorneys, accountants, and other advisors of Landlord and each of the foregoing to the extent such parties have a need to know such information.

 

(47)         JOINT VENTURE:

 

This Lease may not be deemed or construed to create or establish any relationship of partnership, agency, or joint venture (or any other similar relationship or arrangement) between Landlord and Tenant.

 

(48)         HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES:

 

For the purposes of this Lease, the term “Hazardous Substance” shall be interpreted broadly to mean (i) petroleum, (ii) asbestos, (iii) polychlorinated biphenyls, (iv) radioactive materials, (v) radon gas or (vi) any chemical, material or substance defined as or included in the definition of “hazardous substances”, “hazardous wastes”, “hazardous materials”, “extremely hazardous waste”, “restricted hazardous waste” or “toxic substances” or words of similar impact under any applicable laws, including but not

 



 

limited to, the Federal Water Pollution Act, as amended, 33 U.S.C. ‘1251 et seq., the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. ‘6901 et sea., the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. ‘ 9601 et sea., the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, as amended, 49 U.S.C. ‘ 5101 et sea., or any other federal or state laws, in any amount which: (a) exceeds the “action level”, “maximum allowable level”, or any similar base level amount which is determined by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority or health advisory board (or any similar body) to be the maximum allowable or recommended concentration for the Hazardous Material in question; (b) results in any investigative or remedial order or activity by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority; (c) would constitute a health hazard to occupants of the Property; or (d) would result in any material disruption or interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises.

 

Tenant warrants and represents that it shall not use, store, treat, accumulate or transport Hazardous Substances at, on, to or from the Premises during the Term except in the ordinary conduct of its business and in a manner that complies with all federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and ordinances. Tenant additionally warrants and represents that Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises and its activities thereon shall not cause or result in any release, leak, discharge, spill, disposal, or emission of Hazardous Substances at, in, on, from or under the Premises during or following the Term.

 

Unless caused by the negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord, its employees, agents or contractors, Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any and all claims, damages, fines, judgments, penalties, costs, liabilities, or losses (including, without limitation reasonable sums paid for settlement of claims, attorneys fees, consultant and expert fees) arising during or after the Term from or in connection with the presence or release of any Hazardous Substances in, on, under or from the Premises during or after the Term where the presence of such Hazardous Substances is caused by or arises from Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises or otherwise from Tenant’s activities. Without limitation of the foregoing, this indemnification shall include reasonable costs incurred due to any investigation of the Premises or any containment, mitigation, clean-up, removal or restoration mandated by a federal, state or local agency or political subdivision with respect to any such Hazardous Substance present on or released from the Premises during the Term. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

 

Landlord warrants and represents that, to the best of its knowledge, any use, storage, treatment, accumulation, or transportation of Hazardous Substances which has occurred in or on the Developed Parcel prior to the date hereof has been in compliance with the applicable federal, state, or local laws, regulations, and ordinances. Landlord additionally warrants and represents that, to the best of its knowledge, no release, leak, discharge, spill, disposal, or emission of Hazardous Substances has occurred in, or under the Developed Parcel prior to the date hereof.

 

Landlord agrees to indemnify and hold the Tenant harmless from any and all claims, damages, fines, judgments, penalties, costs, liabilities, or losses (including without

 


 

limitation reasonable sums paid for settlement of claims, attorneys’ fees, consultant and expert fees) arising during or after the Term from or in connection with the presence of any Hazardous Substance in or under the Premises prior to the Term or caused by any party other than Tenant, its employees, agents or contractors. Without limiting the foregoing, this indemnification shall include reasonable costs incurred due to any investigation of the Premises or any clean-up, removal or restoration mandated by a federal, state or local agency or political subdivision, with respect to any Hazardous Substance present on the Premises prior to the Term other than such as may be caused by or arise out of Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises or from Tenant’s activities. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

 

(49)         RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL:

 

Provided no Tenant Default under this Lease has occurred, or is continuing, at the time Tenant exercises its First Refusal Right (as defined herein) or upon the commencement of the term for the ROFR Space (as defined herein), if during the first eighteen (18) months of the initial Term of this Lease, space on the sixth floor of the Building contiguous to the Premises and labeled as the ROFR Space on Exhibit A attached hereto consisting of 3,270 rentable square feet is available to lease (hereinafter the “ROFR Space”) prior to Landlord agreeing to lease the same space to any third party pursuant to a bona fide letter of intent acceptable to Landlord, Landlord shall offer to lease all and not a portion of such space to Tenant upon the same terms and conditions as proposed by such third party (the “First Refusal Right”). The rental rate for the ROFR Space shall be the same as that proposed by such third party. Tenant shall have a period of five (5) business days after receipt of Landlord’s notice in which to accept the Landlord’s offer. If Tenant does not exercise its rights with respect to the ROFR Space by accepting the terms in Landlord’s notice prior to the expiration of the foregoing time period, then Tenant’s First Refusal Right and Landlord’s obligations hereunder shall automatically terminate and Tenant shall have no further First Refusal Right hereunder, and Landlord may thereafter lease the ROFR Space to any third party. If Tenant elects to exercise its rights hereunder by timely accepting the terms in Landlord’s notice, Landlord and Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) calendar days after such election, execute and deliver an amendment to this Lease in a form mutually agreeable to the parties which shall specifically include comparable furniture at Landlord’s expense as is to be provided under the terms of this Lease, and as more fully described in the attached Exhibit H.

Tenant when exercising its First Refusal Right hereunder must accept all of the ROFR Space offered and may not elect to lease only a part thereof. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed to by the parties hereto that Tenant’s First Refusal Right hereunder shall automatically expire upon the expiration of the eighteenth (18th) month of the initial Lease Term, unless otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 49. The rights granted to Tenant hereunder are personal to Tenant and shall not be assignable without Landlord’s prior written consent, which Landlord may hold in its sole and absolute discretion.

 



 

(50)         RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER:

 

Provided no Tenant Default under this Lease has occurred, or is continuing, and subject to any pre-existing rights, if any, of any other tenant in the Building, including, without limitation, existing extension, expansion, option or modification rights, during the initial Term hereof and before Landlord offers to lease all of the space in the Building on the sixth floor (the “ROFO Space”), but specifically excluding the ROFR Space which shall be governed exclusively by Article 49 above (the “Right of First Offer”), Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing (“Landlord’s Notice”) of the availability of the ROFO Space, the square footage of the ROFO Space available and the rental rate therefor (“Rental Terms”). If within five (5) business days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s written notice hereunder, Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of its intent to lease all of the ROFO Space offered in Landlord’s Notice, then Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease, which such amendment shall include the Rental Terms and which shall specifically include comparable furniture at Landlord’s expense as is to be provided under the terms of this Lease, as more fully described in the attached Exhibit H, and be in a form mutually agreeable to the parties, for all of the ROFO Space within fifteen (15) calendar days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice of intent to lease. If Tenant does not deliver its notice of intent to lease all of the ROFO Space so offered in Landlord’s Notice within such five (5) day period, or if Landlord and Tenant do not enter into a fully executed lease amendment for all of the ROFO Space offered in Landlord’s Notice within such fifteen (15) day period, then Tenant’s Right of First Offer to Lease and Landlord’s obligations hereunder shall terminate for a period of nine (9) months and Landlord will have the right to lease for a period of nine (9) months the space identified in the Landlord’s Notice to a third party on the same or any other terms and conditions, irrespective of whether such terms and conditions are more or less favorable than those offered to Tenant.

Except as otherwise expressly provided below, the term for the ROFO Space shall be coterminous with the term of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant exercises its Right of First Offer hereunder during the last two (2) years of the initial Term of this Lease, then the term for the entire Premises (including the ROFO Space) shall be extended for a period of five (5) additional years following the expiration of the initial Term, and the rental rate shall be at the then fair market rental value, as reasonably determined by the parties in accordance with terms of Paragraph 51 herein.

 

The exercise by Tenant of its rights under this Paragraph shall not be construed in any way as granting Tenant the right to vacate the Premises or to terminate the Lease of the Premises unless agreed to by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion. The rights granted to Tenant hereunder are personal to Tenant and shall not be assignable without Landlord’s prior written consent, which Landlord may hold in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

(51) RENEWAL OPTION:

 

Provided that no event of default or sublease has ever occurred under any term or provision contained in the Lease and no condition exists which with the passage of time

 



 

or the giving of notice or both would constitute an event of default either on the date Tenant exercises its Renewal Option (as defined herein) or upon the commencement of the Renewal Term (as defined herein), Tenant shall have the right and option (the “Renewal Option”) to renew the Lease for the entirety of the Premises for one (1) separate, additional five (5) year period (“Renewal Term”), by written notice (“Renewal Notice”) delivered to Landlord no later than nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the Term under the same terms, conditions and covenants contained in this Lease, except that (a) no abatements or other concessions, if any, applicable to the Term shall apply to the Renewal Term; (b) the monthly Basic Rent shall be equal to the Fair Net Effective Market Rate for comparable Class A office space being offered in the southeast Denver office submarket as of the end of the Term as determined by Landlord and Tenant as set forth hereafter (“Fair Net Effective Market Rate”); (c) Tenant shall have no Renewal Option beyond the expiration of Renewal Term; and (d) all leasehold improvements within the Premises shall be provided in their then existing condition (on an “as is” basis) at the time the Renewal Term commences. Failure by Tenant to provide the Renewal Notice within the time limits set forth herein shall constitute a waiver of such Renewal Option. In the event Tenant delivers its Renewal Notice as set forth above no later than nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the Term, Landlord and Tenant, upon written notice from Landlord, shall have a period of sixty (60) days in which to agree on the Fair Net Effective Market Rate. If they agree within that period, they shall immediately execute an amendment to the Lease stating the Monthly Base Rent for the applicable Renewal Term. If after negotiating in good faith Landlord and Tenant shall fail to agree upon such Fair Net Effective Market Rate within the sixty (60) day period, then each party shall, within ten (10) days designate by written notice to the other party one (1) licensed Colorado real estate broker with appropriate experience and of good reputation, having at least five (5) years’ experience in the southeast Denver office submarket (“Broker(s)”). The two Brokers so designated shall together determine whether Landlord’s determination of the Fair Net Effective Market Rate or Tenant’s determination of the Fair Net Effective Market Rate is closest to the Fair Net Effective Market Rate for the space in question. Landlord and Tenant shall each require the Brokers to make such determination and report it in writing to Landlord and Tenant within twenty (20) days after such selection, and each party shall use its best efforts to secure such determination within such time period. If the two selected Brokers agree as to which rate is closest, the rate agreed to shall be deemed the effective rental rate. If the two selected Brokers fail to agree pursuant to this procedure, they shall together immediately select a third Broker who shall then (within ten (10) days of the Brokers’ selection) determine which rate is closest to the Fair Net Effective Market Rate as determined by the third Broker. The third Broker shall notify Landlord and Tenant of the Broker’s determination and the rental rate selected shall be the effective rental rate. Each party will pay the fee of the Broker selected by it and one-half (‘/2) of the fee of the third Broker.

 

(52) ADDITIONAL EXHIBITS:

 

The following exhibits are attached hereto and incorporated into this Lease, in addition to previously identified Exhibits A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I.

 



 

(53)         FURNITURE:

 

The Premises currently contain, or shall contain furniture, fixtures and equipment (“FF&E”) which may be used by Tenant during the Term. Tenant has provided Landlord with a detailed space plan identifying the proposed location of each workstation, office or case goods item together with a list which details the FF&E proposed by Tenant to be used in the Premises (“Furniture Inventory List”). A copy of the Furniture Inventory List is attached hereto as Exhibit H and incorporated herein by reference. All of the furniture identified on the Furniture Inventory List shall remain the property of Landlord at the end of the Term.

 

(54)         STORAGE SPACE:

 

Landlord shall lease to Tenant, for the Storage Space Term (as defined below), space within the Building to be used and occupied by Tenant only as storage space for the FF&E identified in the Furniture Inventory List (“Storage Space”). The location of the Storage Space shall be determined in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion provided that such space is sufficient in size to store the items listed in the Furniture Inventory List. The Storage Space shall be made available to Tenant in broom clean condition. Landlord has no obligation to make any improvement to the Storage Space and Tenant’s use of the Storage Space shall at all times be in compliance with the provisions of the Lease.

 

Tenant shall pay Landlord as rent for the Storage Space (the “Storage Space Rent”) for the first eighteen (18) months of the initial Term an amount equal $0.00 and for each month thereafter, an amount equal to $10.00 per square foot of the total Storage Space until the expiration of the Storage Space Term. The Storage Space Rent shall be payable as and when Monthly Base Rent is payable, commencing on the date that possession of the Storage Space is delivered to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of calculating Tenant’s Proportionate Share, the Storage Space shall not be included in the rentable area of the Premises.

 

The term for the Storage Space shall commence upon the date that possession of the Storage Space is delivered to Tenant and shall expire upon the earlier of the date when: (i) Tenant elects to exercise its First Refusal Right for the ROFR Space in accordance with Paragraph 49 above, (ii) the term of the Lease has expired or is otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of the Lease, and (iii) Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of its election to terminate its occupancy with respect to the Storage Space.

Landlord may from time to time upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Tenant, relocate any or all of the Storage Space to other storage areas in the Building (“New Storage Space”) in which event the New Storage Space shall be deemed to be the Storage Space hereunder. Landlord shall pay the actual and reasonable expenses of physically moving Tenant’s property to the New Storage Space.

ARTICLE II. PREMISES

 

SECTION 2.1. LEASED PREMISES. Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant rents from Landlord the premises shown in Exhibit A (the “Premises”), containing approximately the floor area set forth in Item 8 of the Basic Lease Provisions and known by the suite number Identified in Item 2 of the Basic Lease Provisions. The Premises are located in the building identified in Item 2 of the Basic Lease Provisions (the “Building”), which is a portion of the project described in Item 2 (the “Project”). If, upon completion of the space plans for the Premises, Landlord’s architect or space planner determines that the rentable square footage of the Premises differs from that set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions, then Landlord shall so notify Tenant and the Basic Rent (as shown in Item 6 of the Basic Lease Provisions) shall be promptly adjusted in proportion to the change In square footage. Within five (5) days following Landlord’s request, the parties shall memorialize the adjustments by executing an amendment to this Lease prepared by Landlord.

 

SECTION 2.2. ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any representative of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the Premises or the Building or the suitability or fitness of either for any purpose, except as set forth in this Lease. The taking of possession or use of the Premises by Tenant for any purpose other than construction shall conclusively establish that the Premises and the Building were in satisfactory condition and in conformity with the provisions of this Lease in all respects, except for those matters which Tenant shall have brought to Landlord’s attention on a written punch list. The list shall be limited to any items required to be accomplished by Landlord under the Work Letter (if any) attached as Exhibit X, and shall be delivered to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the term (“Term”) of this Lease commences as provided in Article III below. If there is no Work Letter, or if no items are required of Landlord under the Work Letter, except as otherwise set forth herein, by taking possession of the Premises Tenant accepts the improvements in their existing condition, and waives any right or claim against Landlord arising out of the condition of the Premises. Nothing contained in this Section shall affect the commencement of the Term or the obligation of Tenant to pay rent. Landlord shall diligently complete all punch list items of which it is notified as provided above.

 

SECTION 2.3. BUILDING NAME, ADDRESS AND DEPICTION. Tenant shall not utilize any name selected by Landlord from time to time for the Building and/or the Project as any part of Tenant’s corporate or trade name. Landlord shall have the right to change the name, number or designation of the Building or Project without liability to Tenant. Tenant shall not use any picture of the Building in its advertising, stationery or In any other manner.

 

SECTION 2.4. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. During the period commencing as of December 15, 2007 and ending February 28, 2008, provided Tenant Is not then in default hereunder beyond any applicable cure period, Tenant shall have a one-time right (“First Refusal Right”) to lease for a term equal to the then-unexpired portion of the Term of the Lease, Suite 470 in the Building (“First Refusal Space”) in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Section. Following the receipt by Landlord of a bona fide letter of intent to lease the First Refusal Space, then provided Landlord intends to pursue such leasing opportunity, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice (“First Refusal Notice”) of the basic economic terms, including but not limited to the Basic Rent, term, operating expense base, security deposit, and tenant improvement allowance (collectively, the “Economic Terms”), upon which Landlord intends to lease such First Refusal Space to the applicable third party; provided that the Economic Terms shall exclude brokerage commissions and other Landlord payments that do not directly inure to the Tenant’s benefit. Within five (5) business days after receipt of the First Refusal Notice, Tenant may, by written notice to Landlord, elect to lease all, but not less than all, of the space specified in the First Refusal Notice (the “Designated First Refusal Space”) upon such Economic Terms and the same non-Economic Terms as set forth In this Lease. Subject to Section 2.5 below, In the event that Tenant does not timely commit in writing to lease the Designated First Refusal Space on the foregoing terms, then Landlord shall be free to lease same thereafter without any constraint (subject to Tenant’s First Right in Section 2.5 below), and Tenant shall have no further rights to any such Designated First Refusal Space. Should Tenant timely elect to lease the Designated First Refusal Space, then Landlord shall promptly prepare and deliver to Tenant an amendment to this Lease consistent with the foregoing, and Tenant shall execute and return same to Landlord within ten (10) days. Tenant’s failure to timely return the amendment shall entitle Landlord to specifically enforce Tenant’s commitment to lease the Designated First Refusal Space, to lease such space to a third party without any obligation pursuant to this Section, and/or to pursue any other available legal remedy. Tenant’s rights under this Section shall be personal to the original Tenant named in this Lease and may not be assigned or transferred (except in connection with an assignment of this Lease to a Tenant Affiliate as described in Section 9.1(f) hereof). Any other attempted assignment or transfer shall be void and of no force or effect.

 

SECTION 2.5. RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER. Commencing as of March 1, 2008, provided Tenant is not then in default hereunder beyond any applicable cure period, Landlord hereby grants Tenant the continuing right (“First Right”) to lease, during the initial sixty (60) month Term of this Lease, Suite 470 in the Building (“First Right Space”) in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Landlord gives Tenant a First Refusal Notice in accordance with Section 2.4 above and Tenant does not elect to lease the Designated First Refusal Space, Tenant’s First Right shall not commence until September 1, 2008. Except as otherwise provided

below, prior to leasing the First Right Space, or any portion thereof, to any other party during the period that this First Right is in effect, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of the basic economic terms including but not limited to the Basic Rent, term, operating expense base, security deposit, and tenant Improvement allowance (collectively, the °Economic Terms”), upon which Landlord is willing to lease such particular First Right Space to Tenant or to a third party; provided that the Economic Terms shall exclude brokerage commissions and other Landlord payments that do not directly inure to the Tenant’s benefit. It is understood that should Landlord intend to lease other office space in addition to the First Right Space as part of a single transaction, then Landlord’s notice shall so provide and all such space shall collectively be subject to the following provisions. Within five (5) business days after receipt of Landlord’s notice, Tenant must give Landlord written notice pursuant to which Tenant shall elect to (i) lease all, but not less than all, of the space specified in Landlord’s notice (the “Designated Space”) upon such Economic Terms and the same non-Economic Terms as set forth in this Lease; (ii) refuse to lease the Designated Space, specifying that such refusal is not based upon the Economic Terms, but upon Tenant’s lack of need for the Designated Space, in which event Landlord may lease the Designated Space upon any terms it deems appropriate for a period of six (6) months thereafter after which time Landlord shall again comply with the provisions of this Section 2.4; or (Ili) refuse to lease the Designated Space, specifying that such refusal is based upon said Economic Terms, in which event Tenant shall also specify revised Economic Terms upon which Tenant shall be willing to lease the Designated Space. In the event that Tenant does not so respond in writing to Landlord’s notice within said period, Tenant shall be deemed to have elected clause (ii) above. In the event Tenant gives Landlord notice pursuant to clause (iii) above, Landlord may elect to either (x) lease the Designated Space to Tenant upon such revised Economic Terms and the same other non-Economic Terms as set forth in this Lease, or (y) lease the Designated Space to any third party within six (6) months thereafter upon Economic Terms which are not materially more favorable to such party than those Economic Terms proposed by Tenant. Should Landlord so elect to lease the Designated Space to Tenant, then Landlord shall promptly prepare and deliver to Tenant an amendment to this Lease consistent with the foregoing, and Tenant shall execute and return same to Landlord within ten (10) days. Tenant’s failure to timely return the amendment shall entitle Landlord to specifically enforce Tenant’s commitment to lease the Designated Space, to lease such space to a third party, and/or to pursue any other available legal remedy. In the event that Landlord leases the First Right Space, or any portion thereof, to a third party in accordance with the provisions of this Section, and during the effective period of this First Right the First Right Space, or any portion thereof, shall again become available for releasing, then prior to Landlord entering into any such new lease with a third party (other than the then existing tenant or occupant in the First Right Space) for the First Right Space, Landlord shall repeat the procedures specified above in this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that Tenant’s First Right shall be subject to any extension or expansion rights previously granted by Landlord to any third party tenant In the Building, as well as to any such rights which may hereafter be granted by Landlord to any third party tenant now or hereafter occupying the First Right Space or any portion thereof, and Landlord shall in no event be obligated to initiate this First Right prior to leasing any portion of the First Right Space to the then-current occupant thereof. Tenant’s rights under this Section shall be personal to the original Tenant named in this Lease and may not be assigned or transferred (except in connection with an assignment of this Lease to a Tenant Affiliate as described in Section 9.1(f) hereof). Any other attempted assignment or transfer shall be void and of no force or effect.

 

ARTICLE III. TERM

 

SECTION 3.1. GENERAL. The Term shall be for the period shown in Item 5 of the Basic Lease Provisions. The Term shall commence (“Commencement Date”) on the Commencement Date as set forth in Item 4 of the Basic Lease Provisions and shall end upon the expiration of the period set forth in Item 5 of the Basic Lease Provisions (“Expiration Date”).

 

SECTION 3.2. RIGHT TO EXTEND THIS LEASE. Provided that Tenant is not in default beyond any applicable cure period under any provision of this Lease at the time of exercise of the extension right granted herein, and provided further that Tenant is occupying the entire Premises and has not assigned any of its interest in this Lease (except in connection with an assignment of this Lease to a Tenant Affiliate as described In Section 9.1(f) hereof) or sublet more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises, Tenant may extend the Term of this Lease for one (1) period of sixty (60) months. Tenant shall exercise its right to extend the Term by and only by delivering to Landlord, not less than nine (9) months nor more than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration date of the Term, Tenant’s written notice of its irrevocable commitment to extend (the ‘Commitment Notice”). Should Tenant fail timely to deliver the Commitment Notice, then this extension right shall thereupon lapse and be of no further force or effect The Basic Rent payable under the Lease during the extension of the Term shall be at the prevailing market rental rate (including periodic adjustments) for comparable and similarly improved space within the Building and the Project as of the commencement of the extension period, as determined by Landlord and Tenant as described below. Landlord and Tenant, upon written notice from Landlord setting forth the prevailing market rental rate during the extension period, shall have a period of thirty (30) days in which to agree on the prevailing market rental rate based on a reasonable extrapolation of the then current leasing rates for the Building and the Project If they agree within that period, they shall immediately execute an amendment to this Lease stating the Basic Rent and other appropriate terms for the renewal term. If after negotiating in good faith, Landlord and Tenant are

 

4



 

unable to agree on the prevailing market rental rate within said thirty (30) day period, then the renewal option shall be null and void and the Lease shall terminate as of the Expiration Date. Promptly following agreement on the prevailing market rental rate, Landlord shall prepare an appropriate amendment to the Lease memorializing the extension of the Term in accordance with the foregoing, and Tenant shall duly execute and return same to Landlord within fifteen (15) days. Should Tenant fail timely to execute and deliver the amendment, then Landlord may, at its sole written election, either specifically enforce the Commitment Notice or extinguish Tenant’s right to extend the Tem. Should Landlord elect the latter, then this Lease shall terminate upon the scheduled date of expiration and Tenant’s rights under this paragraph shall be of no further force or effect. Any attempt to assign or transfer any right or interest created by this paragraph to other than a Tenant Affiliate shall be void from its inception. Tenant shall have no other right to extend the Term beyond the single sixty (60) month extension created by this paragraph. Unless agreed to in a writing signed by Landlord and Tenant, any extension of the Term, whether created by an amendment to this Lease or by a holdover of the Premises by Tenant, or otherwise, shall be deemed a part of, and not in addition to, any duly exercised extension period permitted by this paragraph. Time is specifically made of the essence of this paragraph.

 

SECTION 3.3. RIGHT TO TERMINATE. Provided Tenant is not in default under any provision of this Lease beyond any applicable cure period and provided Tenant has not exercised either Tenant’s First Refusal Right pursuant to Section 2.4 or Tenant’s First Right pursuant to Section 2.5 unless such expansion right is exercised within the first twelve (12) months of the Term and is only comprised of Suite 470, Tenant shall have a one-time right to terminate this Lease effective as of the expiration of the thirty-sixth (36th) month of the Lease Term by giving Landlord not less than six (6) months prior written notice of such termination. Should Tenant exercise its right to terminate as set forth herein, in addition to all Basic Rent and additional rent due up to the termination effective date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, concurrently with such exercise, the sum equal to one month of Basic Rent payable for the Premises at the rate in effect immediately prior to the termination effective date as a separate termination fee. Any such termination shall not abrogate any obligation hereunder existing as of the date thereof or otherwise attributable to Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises.

 

ARTICLE IV. RENT AND OPERATING EXPENSES

 

SECTION 4.1. BASIC RENT. From and after the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord without deduction or offset a Basic Rent for the Premises in the total amount shown (including subsequent adjustments, if any) in Item 6 of the Basic Lease Provisions.

The rent shall be due and payable in advance commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing thereafter on the first day of each successive calendar month of the Term, as prorated for any partial month. No demand, notice or invoice shall be required.

 

SECTION 4.2. OPERATING EXPENSE INCREASE.

 

(a)   Commencing twelve (12) months following the Commencement Date, Tenant shall compensate Landlord, as additional rent, for Tenant’s proportionate shares of “Building Costs° and °Property Taxes,” as those terms are defined below, incurred by Landlord in the operation of the Building and Project. Property Taxes and Building Costs are mutually exclusive and may be billed separately or in combination as reasonably determined by Landlord. Tenant’s proportionate share of Property Taxes shall equal the product of the rentable floor area of the Premises multiplied by the difference of (I) Property Taxes per rentable square foot less (ii) the Property Tax Base set forth in Item 7 of the Basic Lease Provisions. Tenant’s proportionate share of Building Costs shall equal the product of the rentable floor area of the Premises multiplied by the difference of (i) Building Costs per rentable square foot less (ii) the Building Cost Base set forth In item 7 of the Basic Lease Provisions. Tenant acknowledges Landlord’s rights to make reasonable and necessary changes or additions to the Building and/or Project from time to time pursuant to Section 6.5 below, in which event the total rentable square footage within the Building and/or Project may be adjusted. For convenience of reference, Property Taxes and Building Costs may sometimes be collectively referred to as “Operating Expenses.”

 

(b)   Commencing prior to the start of the first full “Expense Recovery Period” of the Lease (as defined in Item 7 of the Basic Lease Provisions), and prior to the start of each full or partial Expense Recovery Period thereafter, Landlord shall give Tenant a written estimate of the amount of Tenant’s proportionate shares of Building Costs and Property Taxes for the Expense Recovery Period or portion thereof. Commencing twelve (12) months following the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay the estimated amounts to Landlord in equal monthly installments, in advance, with Basic Rent. If Landlord has not furnished its written estimate for any Expense Recovery Period by the time set forth above, Tenant shall continue to pay cost reimbursements at the rates established for the prior Expense Recovery Period, if any; provided that when the new estimate Is delivered to Tenant, Tenant shall, at the next monthly payment date, pay any accrued cost reimbursements based upon the new estimate. Landlord may from time to time change the Expense Recovery Period to reflect a calendar

 

5



 

year or a new fiscal year of Landlord, as applicable, in which event Tenant’s share of Operating Expenses shall be equitably prorated for any partial year.

 

(c)   Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each Expense Recovery Period, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement setting forth the actual or prorated Property Taxes and Building Costs attributable to that period, and the parties shall within thirty (30) days thereafter make any payment or allowance necessary to adjust Tenant’s estimated payments, if any, to Tenant’s actual proportionate shares as shown by the annual statement. If Tenant has not made estimated payments during the Expense Recovery Period, any amount owing by Tenant pursuant to subsection (a) above shall be paid to Landlord In accordance with Article XVI. If actual Property Taxes or Building Costs allocable to Tenant during any Expense Recovery Period are less than the Property Tax Base or the Building Cost Base, respectively, Landlord shall not be required to pay that differential to Tenant, although Landlord shall provide a credit against °additional rent” (defined in Section 14.1(a) of this Lease) next coming due for any applicable estimated payments collected from Tenant provided if the Lease Term expires before the determination of the overpayment, Landlord shall refund any overpayment to Tenant Should Tenant fail to object in writing to Landlord’s determination of actual Operating Expenses within sixty (60) days following delivery of Landlord’s expense statement, Landlord’s determination of actual Operating Expenses for the applicable Expense Recovery Period shall be conclusive and binding on Tenant

 

(d)   Even though the Lease has terminated and the Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant’s share of Property Taxes and Building Costs for the Expense Recovery Period in which the Lease terminates, Tenant shall upon notice pay the entire increase due over the estimated expenses paid; conversely, any overpayment made in the event expenses decrease shall be rebated by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days following the final determination. However, in lieu thereof, Landlord may deliver a reasonable estimate of the anticipated reconciliation amount to Tenant prior to the expiration of the Term, in which event the appropriate party shall fund that amount by the termination date.

 

(e)     If, at any time during any Expense Recovery Period, any one or more of the Operating Expenses are increased to a rate(s) or amount(s) in excess of the rate(s) or amount(s) used in calculating the estimated expenses for the year, then Tenant’s estimated share of Property Taxes or Building Costs, as applicable, shall be increased for the month in which the increase becomes effective and for all succeeding months by an amount equal to Tenant’s proportionate share of the increase. Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of the amount or estimated amount of the increase, the month in which the increase will become effective, Tenant’s monthly share thereof and the months for which the payments are due. Tenant shall pay the increase to Landlord as a part of Tenant’s monthly payments of estimated expenses as provided in paragraph (b) above, commencing with the month in which effective.

Landlord shall amortize the cost of capital improvements on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the Payback Period (as defined below) or the useful life of the capital improvement as reasonably determined by Landlord. Any amortized Building Cost item may include, at Landlord’s option, an actual interest rate that Landlord is required to pay to finance the cost of the item, applied on the unamortized balance. “Payback Period” shall mean the reasonably estimated period of time that it takes for the cost savings, if any, resulting from a capital improvement item to equal the total cost of the capital improvement. It is understood that Building Costs shall include competitive charges for direct services provided to the Building and/or Project by any subsidiary or division of Landlord. If any Building Cost is applicable to one or more buildings or properties in addition to the Building, then that cost shall be equitably prorated and apportioned among the Building and such other buildings or properties.

A copy of Landlord’s unaudited statement of expenses shall be made available to Tenant upon request. The Building Costs, indusive of those for the Base Year, shall be extrapolated by Landlord to reflect at least ninety-five percent (95%) occupancy of the rentable area of the Building.

 

(g) Provided Tenant is not then in default hereunder, Tenant shall have the right to cause a certified public accountant, engaged on a non-contingency fee basis, to audit Operating Expenses by inspecting Landlord’s general ledger of expenses not more than once during any Expense Recovery Period. However, to the extent that insurance premiums or any other component of Operating Expenses is determined by Landlord on the basis of an internal allocation of costs utilizing information Landlord in good faith deems proprietary, such expense component shall not be subject to audit so long as it does not exceed the amount per square foot typically imposed by landlords of other first class office projects in Orange County, California. Tenant shall give notice to Landlord of Tenant’s intent to audit within sixty (60) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s expense statement which sets forth Landlord’s actual Operating Expenses. Such audit shall be conducted at a mutually agreeable time during normal business hours at the office of Landlord or its management agent where such accounts are maintained. If Tenant’s audit determines that actual Operating Expenses have been overstated by more than five percent (5%), then subject to Landlord’s right to review and/or contest the audit results, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of such audit. Tenant’s rent shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any overstatement in Operating Expenses. In addition, if any component of Operating Expenses is determined to be either inappropriate or excessive during an Expense Recovery Period, and if the Building Cost Base or Property Tax Base also Included such component, then the appropriate Base shall concurrently be adjusted if and to the extent appropriate. In the event of a dispute between Landlord and Tenant regarding such audit, either party may elect to submit the matter for binding arbitration with the American Arbitration Association under its Arbitration Rules for the Real Estate Industry, and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered In any court having jurisdiction thereof. All of the information obtained by Tenant and/or its auditor in connection with such audit, as well as any compromise, settlement, or adjustment reached between Landlord and Tenant as a result thereof, shall be held in strict confidence and, except as may be required pursuant to litigation, shall not be disclosed to any third party, directly or indirectly, by Tenant or its auditor or any of their officers, agents or employees. Landlord may require Tenant’s auditor to execute a separate confidentiality agreement affirming the foregoing as a condition precedent to any audit. In the event of a violation of this confidentiality covenant in connection with any audit, then in addition to any other legal or equitable remedy available to Landlord, Tenant shall forfeit its right to any reconciliation or cost reimbursement payment from Landlord due to said audit (and any such payment theretofore made by Landlord shall be promptly returned by Tenant), and Tenant shall have no further audit rights under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no right of audit with respect to any Expense Recovery Period unless the total Operating Expenses per square foot for such Expense Recovery Period, as set forth in Landlord’s annual expense reconciliation, exceed the total Operating Expenses per square foot during the Base Year, as increased by the percentage change in the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers, Los Angeles - Riverside - Orange County Area Average, all items (1982-84 = 100) (the “Index”), which change in the Index shall be measured by comparing the Index published for January of the Base Year with the Index published for January of the applicable Expense Recovery Period.

 

SECTION 4.3. SECURITY DEPOSIT. During the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall cause to be deposited with Landlord the sum stated in Item 9 of the Basic Lease Provisions (the ‘Security Deposit”), to be held by Landlord as security for the full and faithful performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease to pay any rental sums, including without limitation such additional rent as may be owing under any provision hereof, and to maintain the Premises as required by Sections 7.1 and 15.3 or any other provision of this Lease. For purposes of the foregoing and notwithstanding any provision of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code to the contrary, rental sums shall include prospective rent that would have been payable by Tenant but for the early termination of this Lease due to Tenant’s default or insolvency. Upon any breach of the foregoing obligations by Tenant, Landlord may apply all or part of the Security Deposit as full or partial compensation. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so applied, Tenant shall within five (5) days after written demand by Landlord deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Landlord shall not be required to keep this Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on the Security Deposit. In no event may Tenant utilize all or any portion of the Security Deposit as a payment toward any rental sum due under this Lease. Any unapplied balance of the Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee of Tenant’s interest in this Lease within thirty (30) days following the termination of this Lease and Tenant’s vacation of the Premises. Tenant hereby authorizes Landlord to retain and apply to the Security Deposit due hereunder the balance of the cash security deposit previously deposited with Landlord pursuant to the Existing Lease described in Section 22.7 hereof. It is understood, however, that such sum shall concurrently serve as security for the Existing Lease during the

 

8


 

remaining term thereof and Landlord shall be entitled to apply same toward sums due and unpaid thereunder, in which event, Tenant shall promptly replenish the Security Deposit so that Landlord is provided with the full amount required by this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided Tenant has not been in default hereunder, Landlord shall reduce the Security Deposit, and credit such reduction against the Basic Rent first due hereunder in the amount of Seventeen Thousand Five Hundred Sixty-Five Dollars ($17,565.00).

Landlord shall not, by reason of this assignment or the collection of sublease rentals, be deemed liable to the subtenant for the performance of any of Tenant’s obligations under the sublease. Tenant hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any subtenant, upon receipt of a written notice from Landlord stating that an uncured default exists in the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, to pay to Landlord all sums then and thereafter due under the sublease. Tenant agrees that the subtenant may rely on that notice without any duty of further inquiry and notwithstanding any notice or claim by Tenant to the contrary.

15



 

forth the anticipated period for repairing the casualty damage.

(c)      To the extent and for the period that Landlord is entitled to reimbursement from the proceeds of rental interruption insurance carried by Landlord as part of Operating Expenses, the rental to be paid under this Lease shall be abated in the same proportion that the floor area of the Premises that is rendered unusable by the damage from time to time bears to the total floor area of the Premises.

In the event of a taking, Landlord shall be entitled to the entire amount of the condemnation award without deduction for any estate or interest of Tenant; provided that nothing in this Section shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in, or prevent Tenant from seeking any award against the taking authority for, the taking of personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant or for relocation or business interruption expenses recoverable from the taking authority.

 

SECTION 12.2. TEMPORARY TAKING. No temporary taking of the Premises shall terminate this Lease or give Tenant any right to abatement of rent, and any award specifically attributable to a temporary taking of the Premises shall belong entirely to Tenant.

If this Lease is not so terminated by Tenant, there shall be no abatement of rent and this Lease shall continue in effect.

 

ARTICLE XIII. SUBORDINATION; ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE

 

SECTION 13.1. SUBORDINATION. At the option of Landlord or any of Its mortgagees/deed of trust beneficiaries, this Lease shall be either superior or subordinate to all ground or underlying leases, mortgages and deeds of trust, if any, which may hereafter affect the Building, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof; provided, that so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease, this Lease shall not be terminated or Tenant’s quiet enjoyment of the Premises disturbed in the event of termination of any such ground or underlying lease, or the foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed of trust, to which this Lease has been subordinated pursuant to this Section. In the event of a termination or foreclosure, Tenant shall become a tenant of and attom to the successor-in4nterest to Landlord upon the same terms and conditions as are contained in this Lease, and shall promptly execute any instrument reasonably required by Landlord’s successor for that purpose.

16



 

Instruments as may be required from time to time by Landlord or such beneficiary (Including without limitation any subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement In the form customarily required by such beneficiary) to subordinate this Lease and the rights of Tenant under this Lease to any ground or underlying lease or to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust; provided, however, that any such beneficiary may, by written notice to Tenant given at any time, subordinate the lien of Its deed of trust to this Lease. Tenant shall agree that any purchaser at a foreclosure sale or lender taking title under a deed in lieu of foreclosure shall not be responsible for any act or omission of a prior landlord, shall not be subject to any offsets or defenses Tenant may have against a prior landlord, and shall not be liable for the return of any security deposit not actually recovered by such purchaser or bound by any rent paid in advance of the calendar month in which the transfer of title occurred; provided that the foregoing shall not release the applicable prior landlord from any liability for those obligations. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord’s mortgagees and successors-in-interest and all beneficiaries under deeds of trust encumbering the Building are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section.

 

SECTION 13.2. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days following written notice from Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, in any form that Landlord may reasonably require, a statement in writing in favor of Landlord and/or any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Building (i) certifying that this Lease Is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of the modification and certifying that this Lease, as modified, is in full force and effect) and the dates to which the rental, additional rent and other charges have been paid in advance, if any, and (ii) acknowledging that, to Tenant’s knowledge, there are no uncured defaults on the part of Landlord, or specifying each default if any are claimed, and (III) setting forth all further information that Landlord may reasonably require. Tenant’s statement may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of all or any portion of the Building or Project.

ARTICLE XIV. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

 

SECTION 14.1. TENANT’S DEFAULTS. In addition to any other event of default set forth in this Lease, the occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default by Tenant:

 

(a)      The failure by Tenant to make any payment of rent required to be made by Tenant, as and when due, where the failure continues for a period of five (5) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 as amended. For purposes of these default and remedies provisions, the term “additional rent” shall be deemed to include all amounts of any type whatsoever other than Basic Rent to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease.

 

(b)    The assignment, sublease, encumbrance or other transfer of the Lease by Tenant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, whether by judgment, execution, transfer by intestacy or testacy, or other means, without the prior written consent of Landlord unless otherwise authorized herein.

 

(c)     The discovery by Landlord that any financial statement provided by Tenant, or by any affiliate, successor or guarantor of Tenant, was materially false.

 

(d)    The failure or inability by Tenant to observe or perform any of the covenants or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, other than as specified in any other subsection of this Section, where the failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that any such notice shall be In lieu of, and not In addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 as amended. However, if the nature of the failure is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant commences the cure within thirty (30) days, and thereafter diligently pursues the cure to completion.

 

(e) (i) The making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have Tenant adjudged a Chapter 7 debtor under the Bankruptcy Code or to have debts discharged or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same Is dismissed within sixty (60) days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, if possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in

 

17



 

this Lease, where the seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days; or (v) Tenant’s convening of a meeting of its creditors for the purpose of effecting a moratorium upon or composition of its debts. Landlord shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any event described in this subsection unless notification In writing is received by Landlord, nor shall there be any presumption attributable to Landlord of Tenant’s insolvency. In the event that any provision of this subsection is contrary to applicable law, the provision shall be of no force or effect.

 

SECTION 14.2. LANDLORD’S REMEDIES.

 

(a)       In the event of any default by Tenant, then in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord, Landlord may exercise the following remedies:

 

(i) Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. Such termination shall not affect any accrued obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Upon termination, Landlord shall have the right to reenter the Premises and remove all persons and property. Landlord shall also be entitled to recover from Tenant:

 

(1)   The worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent and additional rent which had been earned at the time of termination;

 

(2)   The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent and additional rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided;

 

(3)   The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent and additional rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided;

 

(4)   Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform Its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result from Tenant’s default, including, but not limited to, the cost of recovering possession of the Premises, commissions and other expenses of retelling, including necessary repair, renovation, Improvement and alteration of the Premises for a new tenant, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and any other reasonable costs; and

 

(5) At Landlord’s election, all other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted by law. The term “rent” as used in this Lease shall be deemed to mean the Basic Rent and all other sums required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease, including without limitation any sums that may be owing from Tenant pursuant to Section 4.3 of this Lease. Any sum, other than Basic Rent, shall be computed on the basis of the average monthly amount accruing during the twenty-four (24) month period immediately prior to default, except that If it becomes necessary to compute such rental before the twenty-four (24) month period has occurred, then the computation shall be on the basis of the average monthly amount during the shorter period. As used in subparagraphs (1) and (2) above, the ‘worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. As used in subparagraph (3) above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

 

(ii) Landlord may elect not to terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, in which event Landlord may continue to enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to collect all rent as it becomes due. Efforts by the Landlord to maintain, preserve or relet the Premises, or the appointment of a receiver to protect the Landlord’s interests under this Lease, shall not constitute a termination of the Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises. In the event that Landlord elects to avail itself of the remedy provided by this subsection (ii), Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold Its consent to an assignment or subletting of the Premises subject to the reasonable standards for Landlord’s consent as are contained in this Lease.

 

(b) The various rights and remedies reserved to Landlord in this Lease or otherwise shall be cumulative and, except as otherwise provided by California law, Landlord may pursue any or all of its rights and remedies at the same time. No delay or omission of Landlord to exercise any right or remedy shall be construed as a waiver of the right or remedy or of any breach or default by Tenant The acceptance by Landlord of rent shall not be a (i) waiver of any preceding breach or default by Tenant of any provision of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of the preceding breach or default at the time of acceptance of rent, or (ii) a waiver of Landlord’s right to exercise any remedy available to Landlord by virtue of the breach or default. The acceptance of any payment from a debtor in possession, a trustee, a receiver or any other person acting on behalf of Tenant or Tenant’s estate shall not waive or cure a default under Section 14.1. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the rent required by this Lease shall be deemed to be other than a partial payment on account of the earliest due stipulated rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or letter be deemed an accord and satisfaction and Landlord shall accept the check or payment without prejudice to

 

18


 

Landlord’s right to recover the balance of the rent or pursue any other remedy available to it. Tenant hereby waives any right of redemption or relief from forfeiture under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1174 or 1179, or under any other present or future law, in the event this Lease is terminated by reason of any default by Tenant. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord’s agents during the Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a surrender shall be valid unless In writing and signed by Landlord. No employee of Landlord or of Landlord’s agents shall have any power to accept the keys to the Premises prior to the termination of this Lease, and the delivery of the keys to any employee shall not operate as a termination of the Lease or a surrender of the Premises.

 

SECTION 14.3. LATE PAYMENTS.

 

(a)      Any rent due under this Lease that is not paid to Landlord within five (5) days of the date when due shall bear Interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date due until fully paid. The payment of interest shall not cure any default by Tenant under this Lease. In addition, Tenant acknowledges that the late payment by Tenant to Landlord of rent will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Those costs may include, but are not limited to, administrative, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any ground lease, mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any rent due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee within five (5) days after the date due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition to the interest provided above, a late charge for each delinquent payment equal to the greater of (I) five percent (5%) of that delinquent payment or (ii) One Hundred Dollars ($100.00). Acceptance of a late charge by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to the overdue amount, nor shall it prevent Landlord from exercising any of its other rights and remedies.

 

(b)      Following each second consecutive installment of Basic Rent that Is not paid within five (5) days following notice of nonpayment from Landlord, Landlord shall have the option to require that beginning with the first payment of Basic Rent next due, Basic Rent shall no longer be paid in monthly Installments but shall be payable quarterly three (3) months in advance. Should Tenant deliver to Landlord, at any time during the Term, two (2) or more insufficient checks, the Landlord may require that all monies then and thereafter due from Tenant be paid to Landlord by cashier’s check.

 

SECTION 14.4. RIGHT OF LANDLORD TO PERFORM. All covenants and agreements to be performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without any abatement of rent or right of set-off. If Tenant fails to pay any sum of money, or falls to perform any other act on its part to be peifunlied under this Lease, and the failure continues beyond any applicable grace or cure period set forth in Section 14.1, then in addition to any other available remedies, Landlord may, at Its election, make the payment or perform the other act on Tenant’s part. Landlord’s election to make the payment or perform the act on Tenant’s part shall not give rise to any responsibility of Landlord to continue making the same or similar payments or performing the same or similar acts. Tenant shall, promptly upon demand by Landlord, reimburse Landlord for all sums paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs, together with interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date of the payment by Landlord.

 

SECTION 14.5. DEFAULT BY LANDLORD. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default In the performance of any obligation under this Lease unless and until it has failed to perform the obligation within thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord specifying in reasonable detail the nature and extent of the failure; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default if it commences performance within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues the cure to completion.

 

SECTION 14.6. EXPENSES AND LEGAL FEES. Should either Landlord or Tenant bring any action in connection with this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover as a part of the action its reasonable attorneys’ fees, and all other costs. The prevailing party for the purpose of this paragraph shall be determined by the trier of the facts.

 

SECTION 14.7. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL/JUDICIAL REFERENCE.

 

(a)     LANDLORD AND TENANT EACH ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS AWARE OF AND HAS HAD THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE WITH RESPECT TO ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY, AND EACH PARTY DOES HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVE AND RELEASE ALL SUCH RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER (AND/OR AGAINST ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR SUBSIDIARY OR AFFILIATED ENTITIES) ON ANY MATTERS WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, TENANT’S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES, AND/OR ANY CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE.

 

(b)    IN THE EVENT THAT THE JURY WAIVER PROVISIONS OF SECTION 14.7(a) ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW, THEN THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION

 

19



 

14.7(b) SHALL APPLY. IT IS THE DESIRE AND INTENTION OF THE PARTIES TO AGREE UPON A MECHANISM AND PROCEDURE UNDER WHICH CONTROVERSIES AND DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF THIS LEASE OR RELATED TO THE PREMISES WILL BE RESOLVED IN A PROMPT AND EXPEDITIOUS MANNER.

IF THE PARTIES ARE UNABLE TO AGREE UPON A REFEREE WITHIN SUCH TEN (10) DAY PERIOD, THEN ANY PARTY MAY THEREAFTER FILE A LAWSUIT IN THE COUNTY IN WHICH THE PREMISES ARE LOCATED FOR THE PURPOSE OF APPOINTMENT OF A REFEREE UNDER CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTIONS 638 AND 640, AS SAME MAY BE AMENDED OR ANY SUCCESSOR STATUTE(S) THERETO.

The acceptance by Landlord of monthly hold-over rental in a lesser amount shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to recover the full amount due unless otherwise agreed in writing by Landlord. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises within thirty (30) days following notice from Landlord despite demand to do so by Landlord, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss or liability, Including without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant relating to such failure to surrender. The foregoing provisions of this Section are in addition to and do not affect Landlord’s right of re-entry or any other rights of Landlord under this Lease or at law.

 

SECTION 15.2. MERGER ON TERMINATION. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual termination of this Lease, shall terminate any or all existing subleases unless Landlord, at its option, elects in writing to treat the surrender or termination as an assignment to it of any or all subleases affecting the Premises.

 

SECTION 15.3. SURRENDER OF PREMISES; REMOVAL OF PROPERTY.

Tenant shall repair all damage to the Premises resulting from the removal and restore the affected area to its pre-existing condition, reasonable wear and tear and casualty excepted, provided that Landlord may instead elect to repair any structural damage at Tenant’s expense. If Tenant shall fail to comply with the provisions of this Section, Landlord may effect the removal and/or make any repairs, and the cost to Landlord shall be additional rent payable by Tenant upon demand. If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an instrument in writing releasing and quitclaiming to Landlord all right, title and interest of Tenant in the Premises.

EXHIBIT B

UTILITIES AND SERVICES

 

The following standards for utilities and services shall be in effect at the Building. Landlord reserves the right to adopt nondiscriminatory modifications and additions to these standards. In the case of any conflict between these standards and the Lease, the Lease shall be controlling. Subject to all of the provisions of the Lease, including but not limited to the restrictions contained in Section 6.1, the following shall apply:

 

1.     Landlord shall make available to the Premises during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and if requested by Tenant on a week-by-week basis, from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturday (“Building Hours”), generally recognized national holidays excepted, reasonable HVAC services. Subject to the provisions set forth below, Landlord shall also furnish the Building with elevator service (if applicable), reasonable amounts of electric current for normal lighting by Landlord’s standard overhead fluorescent and incandescent fixtures and for the operation of office equipment consistent in type and quantity with that utilized by typical office tenants of the Building and Project, and water for lavatory purposes. Tenant will not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, connect any apparatus, machine or device with water pipes or electric current (except through existing electrical outlets in the Premises) for the purpose of using electric current or water. Because the Building systems have been designed for normal occupancy of approximately four persons per one thousand usable square feet, Tenant understands that excess occupancy of the Premises may result in excessive use of power and other services and may inhibit the efficient cooling of the Premises. This paragraph shall at all times be subject to applicable governmental regulations.

 

2.   Upon written request from Tenant delivered to Landlord at least 24 hours prior to the period for which service is requested, but during normal business hours, Landlord will provide any of the foregoing building services to Tenant at such times when such services are not otherwise available. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord for those after-hour services at rates that Landlord may establish from time to time. If Tenant requires electric current in excess of that which Landlord is obligated to furnish under this Exhibit B, Tenant shall first obtain the consent of Landlord, and Landlord may cause an electric current meter to be installed in the Premises to measure the amount of electric current consumed. The cost of installation, maintenance and repair of the meter shall be paid for by Tenant, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord promptly upon demand for all electric current consumed for any special power use as shown by the meter. The reimbursement shall be at the rates charged for electrical power by the local public utility furnishing the current, plus any additional expense incurred in keeping account of the electric current consumed.

 

3.     Landlord shall furnish water for drinking, personal hygiene and lavatory purposes only. If Tenant requires or uses water for any purposes in addition to ordinary drinking, cleaning and lavatory purposes, Landlord may, in its discretion, install a water meter to measure Tenant’s water consumption. Tenant shall pay Landlord for the cost of the meter and the cost of its installation, and for consumption throughout the duration of Tenant’s occupancy. Tenant shall keep the meter and installed equipment in good working order and repair at Tenant’s own cost and expense, in default of which Landlord may cause the meter to be replaced or repaired at Tenant’s expense. Tenant agrees to pay for water consumed, as shown on the meter and when bills are rendered, and on Tenant’s default in making that payment Landlord may pay the charges on behalf of Tenant. Any costs or expenses or payments made by Landlord for any of the reasons or purposes stated above shall be deemed to be additional rent payable by Tenant to Landlord upon demand.

 

4.   In the event that any utility service to the Premises is separately metered or billed to Tenant, Tenant shall pay all charges for that utility service to the Premises and the cost of furnishing the utility to tenant suites shall be excluded from the Operating Expenses as to which reimbursement from Tenant is required in the Lease. If any utility charges are not paid when due Landlord may pay them, and any amounts paid by Landlord shall immediately become due to Landlord from Tenant as additional rent. If Landlord elects to furnish any utility service to the Premises, Tenant shall purchase its requirements of that utility from Landlord as long as the rates charged by Landlord do not exceed those which Tenant would be required to pay if the utility service were furnished it directly by a public utility.

 

5. Landlord shall provide janitorial services five days per week, equivalent to that furnished in comparable buildings, and window washing as reasonably required; provided, however, that Tenant shall pay for any additional or unusual janitorial services required by reason of any nonstandard improvements in the Premises, including without limitation wall coverings and floor coverings installed by or for Tenant, or by reason of any use of Premises other than exclusively as offices. The cleaning services provided by Landlord shall also exclude refrigerators, eating utensils (plates, drinking containers and silverware), and interior glass partitions. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost of removal of any of Tenant’s refuse and rubbish, to the extent that they exceed the refuse and rubbish usually attendant with general office usage.

 

1



 

6.   Tenant shall have access to the Building 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 52 weeks per year provided that Landlord may install access control systems as it deems advisable for the Building. Such systems may, but need not, include full or part-time lobby supervision, the use of a sign-in sign-out log, a card identification access system, building parking and access pass system, closing hours procedures, access control stations, fire stairwell exit door alarm system, electronic guard system, mobile paging system, elevator control system or any other access controls. In the event that Landlord elects to provide any or all of those services, Landlord may discontinue providing them at any time with or without notice. Landlord may impose a reasonable charge for access control cards and/or keys Issued to Tenant. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for the provision by Landlord of improper access control services, for any breakdown in service, or for the failure by Landlord to provide access control services. Tenant further acknowledges that Landlord’s access systems may be temporarily inoperative during building emergency and system repair periods. Tenant agrees to assume responsibility for compliance by its employees with any regulations established by Landlord with respect to any card key access or any other system of building access as Landlord may establish. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any loss or damage resulting from its or its employees use of any access system.

 

7.     The costs of operating, maintaining and repairing any supplemental air conditioning unit serving only the Premises shall be borne solely by Tenant. Such costs shall include all metered electrical charges as described above in this Exhibit, together with the cost, as reasonably estimated by Landlord, to supply cooling water or other means of heat dissipation for the unit. Should Tenant desire to install such a unit, the plans and specifications must be submitted in advance to Landlord and approved in writing by Landlord. Such installation shall be at Tenant’s sole expense and shall include installation of a separate meter for the operation of the unit. Landlord may require Tenant to remove at Lease expiration any such unit installed by or for Tenant and to repair any resulting damage to the Premises or Building.

EXHIBIT C

 

PARKING

 

The following parking regulations shall be In effect at the Building. Landlord reserves the right to adopt reasonable, nondiscriminatory modifications and additions to the regulations by written notice to Tenant. In the case of any conflict between these regulations and the Lease, the Lease shall be controlling.

 

1.               Landlord agrees to maintain, or cause to be maintained, an automobile parking area (“Parking Area”) in reasonable proximity to the Building for the benefit and use of the visitors and patrons and, except as otherwise provided, employees of Tenant, and other tenants and occupants of the Building. The Parking Area shall include, whether in a surface parking area or a parking structure, the automobile parking stalls, driveways, entrances, exits, sidewalks and attendant pedestrian passageways and other areas designated for parking. Landlord shall have the right and privilege of determining the nature and extent of the automobile Parking Area, whether it shall be surface, underground or other structure, and of making such changes to the Parking Area from time to time which in its opinion are desirable and for the best Interests of all persons using the Parking Area. Landlord shall keep the Parking Area in a neat, clean and orderly condition, and shall repair any damage to its facilities. Landlord shall not be liable for any damage to motor vehicles of visitors or employees, for any loss of property from within those motor vehicles, or for any Injury to Tenant, its visitors or employees, unless ultimately determined to be caused by the sole active negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. Unless otherwise Instructed by Landlord, every parker shall park and lock his or her own motor vehicle. Landlord shall also have the right to establish, and from time to time amend, and to enforce against all users of the Parking Area all reasonable rules and regulations (including the designation of areas for employee parking) as Landlord may deem necessary and advisable for the proper and efficient operation and maintenance of the Parking Area. Garage managers or attendants are not authorized to make or allow any exceptions to these regulations.

 

2.               Landlord may, if it deems advisable in its sole discretion, charge for parking and may establish for the Parking Area a system or systems of permit parking for Tenant, its employees and Its visitors, which may include, but not be limited to, a system of charges against nonvalidated parking, verification of users, a set of regulations governing different parking locations, and an allotment of reserved or nonreserved parking spaces based upon the charges paid and the identity of users. In no event shall Tenant or Its employees park in reserved stalls leased to other tenants or in stalls within designated visitor parking zones, nor shall Tenant or its employees utilize more than the number of parking stalls allotted in this Lease to Tenant. It is understood that Landlord shall not have any obligation to cite improperly parked vehicles or otherwise attempt to enforce reserved parking rules during hours when parking attendants are not present at the Parking Area. Tenant shall comply with such system in its use (and in the use of its visitors, patrons and employees) of the Parking Area, provided, however, that the system and rules and regulations shall apply to all persons entitled to the use of the Parking Area, and all charges to Tenant for use of the Parking Area shall be no greater than Landlord’s then current scheduled charge for parking.

 

3.          Tenant shall, upon request of Landlord from time to time, furnish Landlord with a list of its employees’ names and of Tenant’s and Its employees’ vehicle license numbers. Tenant agrees to acquaint its employees with these regulations and assumes responsibility for compliance by its employees with these parking provisions, and shall be liable to Landlord for all unpaid parking charges incurred by its employees. Any amount due from Tenant shall be deemed additional rent Tenant authorizes Landlord to tow away from the Building any vehicle belonging to Tenant or Tenant’s employees parked in violation of these provisions, and/or to attach violation stickers or notices to those vehicles. In the event Landlord elects or is required to limit or control parking by tenants, employees, visitors or invitees of the Building, whether by validation of parking tickets, parking meters or any other method of assessment, Tenant agrees to participate in the validation or assessment program under reasonable rules and regulations as are established by Landlord and/or any applicable governmental agency.

 

4.          Landlord may establish an identification system for vehicles of Tenant and its employees which may consist of stickers, magnetic parking cards or other parking access devices supplied by Landlord. All such parking access devices shall remain the property of Landlord, shall be displayed as required by Landlord or upon request and may not be mutilated or obliterated in any manner. Those devices shall not be transferable and any such device in the possession of an unauthorized holder shall be void and may be confiscated. Landlord may impose a reasonable fee for access devices and a replacement charge for devices which are lost or stolen. Each access device shall be returned to Landlord promptly following the Expiration Data or sooner termination of this Lease. Loss or theft of parking access devices shall be reported to Landlord or its Parking Area operator immediately and a written report of the loss filed if requested by Landlord or its Parking Area operator.

 

5. Persons using the Parking Area shall observe all directional signs and arrows and any posted speed limits. Unless otherwise posted, in no event shall the speed limit of 5 miles per hour be exceeded. All vehicles shall be parked entirely within painted stalls, and no vehicles shall be

 



 

parked in areas which are posted or marked as “no parking” or on or in ramps, driveways and aisles. Only one vehicle may be parked in a parking space.

Landlord in providing such overtime service, including reasonable charges for overhead and supervision in connection therewith, and if more than one tenant has requested or is furnished such overtime service for all or some of the same hours, the charge therefor will be prorated, based upon the number of tenants requesting and/or availing themselves of said overtime service concurrently.  Landlord shall also provide routine maintenance, painting and electric lighting service for all public areas and special service areas of the Property in the manner and to the extent generally provided in medical office buildings comparable to the Building in the locality where the Building is located.  Landlord may, in its sole discretion, provide additional services not enumerated herein.

7.2          Partial Destruction.  If following damage or destruction to the Leased Premises or Building by fire or other casualty, this Agreement is not terminated pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence to rebuild or repair the Building, Leased Premises and other improvements to substantially the same conditions in which they existed prior to the damage.  If Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises or the conduct of its business is impaired due to the damage, whether or not the Leased Premises are themselves

damaged, the rent payable under this Lease during the period of impairment shall be equitably reduced based on the degree to which Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Leased Premises are impaired.  Landlord’s obligation to rebuild or restore under this Section shall be limited to restoring the Leased Premises and Building to substantially the condition in which the same existed prior to the casualty, exclusive of improvements for which Tenant is responsible under the terms of this Lease, and Tenant shall, promptly after the completion of such work by Landlord, proceed with reasonable diligence and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense to restore those improvements for which Tenant is responsible under the Lease to substantially the condition in which the same existed prior to the casualty and to otherwise make the Leased Premises suitable for Tenant’s use.  If this Lease is not terminated pursuant to Section 7.1 above, and if Landlord fails to substantially complete the necessary repairs or rebuilding within ninety (90) days from the date of Landlord’s receipt of written notification by Tenant of the destruction, Tenant may at its option terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of termination to Landlord, whereupon all rights and obligations under this Lease shall cease.

 

7.3          Property Insurance.  Landlord shall at all times during the term of this Lease insure the Property against risk of physical loss under standard fire and extended coverage policies of insurance in an amount at least equal to the full replacement cost of the Building.  Landlord shall not be obligated to insure any personal property of Tenant upon or within the Leased Premises, any fixtures installed or paid for by Tenant upon or within the Leased Premises, or any improvements which Tenant may construct on the Leased Premises.  Tenant shall have no right in or claim to the proceeds of any policy of insurance maintained by Landlord.  Tenant at all times during the term of this Lease shall, at its own expense, keep in full force and effect such insurance on its property against fire and such other risks as Tenant deems appropriate, using “blanket” insurance coverage if it so desires.

 

7.4          Waiver of Subrogation.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding Landlord and Tenant hereby waive and release each other of and from any and all right of recovery, claim, action or cause of action, against each other, their agents, officers and employees, for any loss or damage that may occur to the Leased Premises, improvements to the Property, or personal property within the Property, by reason of fire or the elements, regardless of cause or origin, including negligence of Landlord or Tenant and their agents, officers and employees.  Landlord and Tenant agree immediately to give their respective insurance companies written notice of the terms of the mutual waivers contained in this Section, and to have the insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of the insurance coverages by reason of the mutual waivers.

 

7.5          Hold Harmless.  Tenant hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Landlord harmless from and against all liability, damages, costs and expenses from causes of action, suits, claims, demands and judgments of any nature whatsoever caused by the use and occupancy of the Premises by Tenant, its invitees, officers or agents, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents or employees, or Landlord’s breach of this Lease.  Landlord hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Tenant harmless from and against all liability, damages, costs and expenses from causes of action, suits, claims, demands and judgments of any nature whatsoever caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents or employees, or Landlord’s breach of this Agreement.

 

6



 

7.6          Liability Insurance.  Landlord and Tenant at all times during the Lease Term shall each, at its own expense, keep in full force and effect comprehensive general liability insurance with “personal injury” coverage, with minimum limits of $1,000,000.00 on account of bodily injuries to, or death of, one or more than one person as the result of any one accident or occurrence and $500,000.00 on account of damage to property.  All insurance policies or duly executed certificates for the same required to be carried by Tenant under this Lease, together with satisfactory evidence of the payment of the premium thereof, shall be deposited with Landlord on the date Tenant first occupies the Leased Premises and upon renewals of such policies not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of the term of such coverage.  All insurance required to be carried by Tenant or Landlord under this Lease shall be in form and content, and written by insurers acceptable to the other party in its reasonable discretion.  If either Landlord or Tenant shall fail to comply with any of the requirements contained in this Agreement relating to insurance, the other party may obtain such insurance and the non-complying party shall pay to the other party, on demand, the premium cost thereof.

 

ARTICLE 8 - CONDEMNATION

 

8.1          Substantial Taking.  If (i) all of the Property or Leased Premises is taken for any public or quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by right of eminent domain or by purchase in lieu thereof (a “taking”), or (ii) in the reasonable determination of Tenant a taking of the Leased Premises or other portion of the Property (including parking areas) occurs which would prevent or materially interfere for more than ninety (90) days with the use of the Leased Premises for the purposes for which they are then being used, this Agreement shall, at the option of Tenant, terminate, and the rent shall be abated during the unexpired portion of this Agreement effective on the date physical possession is taken by the condemning authority.

 

8.2          Partial Taking.  If this Agreement is not terminated as provided in Section 8.1 above, Landlord shall restore and reconstruct the Property, Leased Premises and other improvements on the Leased Premises, to the greatest degree practicable, to the condition existing prior to the taking.  The rent payable under this Lease during the unexpired portion of the term shall be reduced by a percentage equal to the percentage of the Leased Premises that are untenantable following such taking; provided, however, that if the taking affects a portion of the Leased Premises in a way that substantially impairs the ability of Tenant to provide medical services to the general public from the Leased Premises, then the Tenant shall at its option be entitled to terminate this Lease whereupon all rights and obligations under this Agreement shall terminate.

 

8.3          Condemnation Proceeds.  All compensation awarded for any taking (or the proceeds of private sale in lieu thereof), whether for the whole or a part of the Leased Premises, shall be the property of Landlord (whether such award is compensation for damages to Landlord’s or Tenant’s interest in the Leased Premises), and Tenant hereby assigns all of its interest in any such award to Landlord; provided, however, Landlord shall have no interest in any award made to Tenant for loss of business or for taking of Tenant’s fixtures and other property within the Leased Premises if a separate award for such items is made to Tenant.

(c)           Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease, if Landlord’s defaults(s) shall render all or any portion of the Leased Premises or the Property untenantable for those uses customarily associated with a medical practice for more than sixty (60) days, Tenant shall be entitled a fair and reasonable rental abatement during the time that all or a portion of the Leased Premises are so rendered unsuitable, or Tenant may terminate this Lease and Tenant shall have no further obligation or liability hereunder.

13.2        Attorney’s Fees.  If any action is brought by either Landlord or Tenant against the other relative to the enforcement of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Lease or in regard to any other matter relating to this Agreement, the party in whose favor final judgment shall be entered shall be entitled to recover court costs incurred and reasonable attorney’s fees, including fees incurred at trial, in bankruptcy, or on appeal.

 

13.3        Successors.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Landlord and Tenant and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

ARTICLE 7 - CASUALTY AND INSURANCE

 

7.1          Substantial Destruction.  If (i) the Leased Premises or the Building should be destroyed by fire or other casualty, or (ii) the Leased Premises or the Building should be damaged so that rebuilding cannot reasonably be completed substantially within ninety (90) days after Landlord’s receipt of written notification by Tenant of the destruction, or (iii) the Building shall be so damaged as to render it unsuitable for use as a medical office building comparable to the use to which the Building was being put prior to the casualty and such damage cannot be repaired and the Building restored to such use within ninety (90) days from the date of the casualty, then, at Tenant’s option, this Lease may be terminated and, in such event, the rent shall be abated for the unexpired portion of the Lease, effective as of the date of the destruction or damage.

 

7.2          Partial Destruction.  If following damage or destruction to the Leased Premises or Building by fire or other casualty, this Lease is not terminated pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence to rebuild or repair the Building, Leased Premises and other improvements to substantially the same conditions in which they existed prior to the damage.  If Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises or the conduct of its business is impaired due to the damage, whether or not the Leased Premises are themselves damaged, the rent payable under this Lease during the period of impairment shall be equitably reduced based on the degree to which Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Leased Premises are impaired.  Landlord’s obligation to rebuild or restore under this Section shall be limited to restoring the Leased Premises and Building to substantially the condition in which the same existed prior to the casualty, exclusive of improvements for which Tenant is responsible under the terms of this Lease, and Tenant shall, promptly after the completion of such work by Landlord, proceed with reasonable diligence and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense to restore those improvements for which Tenant is responsible under the Lease to substantially the condition in which the same existed prior to the casualty and to otherwise make the Leased Premises suitable for Tenant’s use.  If this Lease is not terminated pursuant to Section 7.1 above, and if Landlord fails to substantially complete the necessary repairs or rebuilding within ninety (90) days from the date of Landlord’s receipt of written notification by Tenant of the destruction, Tenant may at its option terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of termination to Landlord, whereupon all rights and obligations under this Lease shall cease.

 

7.3          Property Insurance.  Landlord shall at all times during the term of this Lease insure the Property against risk of physical loss under standard fire and extended coverage policies of insurance in an amount at least equal to the full replacement cost of the Building.  Landlord shall not be obligated to insure any personal property of Tenant upon or within the Leased Premises, any fixtures installed or paid for by Tenant upon or within the Leased Premises, or any improvements which Tenant may construct on the Leased Premises.  Tenant shall have no right in or claim to the proceeds of any policy of insurance maintained by Landlord.  Tenant at all times during the term of this Lease shall, at its own expense, keep in full force and effect such insurance on its property against fire and such other risks as Tenant deems appropriate, using “blanket” insurance coverage if it so desires.

 

7.4          Waiver of Subrogation.  Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord and Tenant hereby waive and release each other of and from any and all right of

recovery, claim, action or cause of action, against each other, their agents, officers and employees, for any loss or damage that may occur to the Leased Premises, improvements to the Property, or personal property within the Property, by reason of fire or the elements, regardless of cause or origin, including negligence of Landlord or Tenant and their agents, officers and employees.   Landlord and Tenant agree immediately to give their respective insurance companies written notice of the terms of the mutual waivers contained in this Section, and to have the insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of the insurance coverages by reason of the mutual waivers.

 

7.5          Hold Harmless.  Tenant hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Landlord harmless from and against all liability, damages, costs and expenses from causes of action, suits, claims, demands and judgments of any nature whatsoever caused by the use and occupancy of the Premises by Tenant, its invitees, officers or agents, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents or employees, or Landlord’s breach of this Lease.  Landlord hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Tenant harmless from and against all liability, damages, costs and expenses from causes of action, suits, claims, demands and judgments of any nature whatsoever caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents or employees, or Landlord’s breach of this Lease.

 

7.6          Liability Insurance.  Landlord and Tenant at all times during the Lease term shall each, at its own expense, keep in full force and effect comprehensive general liability insurance with “personal injury” coverage, with minimum limits of $1,000,000.00 on account of bodily injuries to, or death of, one or more than one person as the result of any one accident or occurrence and $500,000,00 on account of damage to property.  All insurance policies or duly executed certificates for the same required to be carried by Tenant under this Lease, together with satisfactory evidence of the payment of the premium thereof, shall be deposited with Landlord on the date Tenant first occupies the Leased Premises and upon renewals of such policies not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of the term of such coverage.  All insurance required to be carried by Tenant or Landlord under this Lease shall be in form and content, and written by insurers acceptable to the other party in its reasonable discretion.  If either Landlord or Tenant shall fail to comply with any of the requirements contained in this Lease relating to insurance, the other party may obtain such insurance and the non-complying party shall pay to the other party, on demand, the premium cost thereof.

 

ARTICLE 8 - CONDEMNATION

 

8.1          Substantial Taking.  If (i) all of the Property or Leased Premises is taken for any public or quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by right of eminent domain or by purchase in lieu thereof (a “taking”), or (ii) in the reasonable determination of Tenant a taking of the Leased Premises or other portion of the Property (including parking areas) occurs which would prevent or materially interfere for more than ninety (90) days with the use of the Leased Premises for the purposes for which they are then being used, this Lease shall, at the option of Tenant, terminate, and the rent shall be abated during the unexpired portion of this Lease effective on the date physical possession is taken by the condemning authority.

8.3          Condemnation Proceeds.  All compensation awarded for any taking (or the proceeds of private sale in lieu thereof), whether for the whole or a part of the Leased Premises, shall be the property of Landlord (whether such award is compensation for damages to Landlord’s or Tenant’s interest in the Leased Premises), and Tenant hereby assigns all of its interest in any such award to Landlord; provided, however, Landlord shall have no interest in any award made to Tenant for loss of business or for taking of Tenant’s fixtures and other property within the Leased Premises if a separate award for such items is made to Tenant.

5.1          Landlord Repairs.  Landlord shall maintain the Property in good order and condition and perform all necessary repairs and replacements in and to the Property, interior and exterior, structural and non-structural, ordinary and extraordinary and unforeseen and foreseen (except for (i) non-structural repairs in or to the Leased Premises that are expressly not Landlord’s responsibility under this Section 5.1, and (ii) repairs necessitated by Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees or visitors).

 

5.2          Tenant Repairs.  Tenant, at its own cost and expense, shall maintain the Leased Premises in a good condition (except for those items that are the responsibility of Landlord under Section 5.1), and Tenant shall repair or replace any damage or injury to all or any part of the Leased Premises and/or the Property, caused by any act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees, invitees, licensees or visitors.

 

5.3          Request for Repairs.  All requests for repairs or maintenance that are the responsibility of Landlord pursuant to any provision of this Lease must be made in writing to Landlord.

 

ARTICLE 6 - ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS

 

If any construction of Tenant improvements is necessary for the initial occupancy of the Leased Premises, such construction shall be accomplished and the cost of such construction shall be borne by Tenant in accordance with a separate written “Leasehold Improvements Agreement” executed by Landlord and Tenant.  Tenant accepts the Leased Premises as being in good and satisfactory condition, except for latent defects.  Tenant shall not make or allow to be made any alterations, physical additions or improvements (“alterations”) in or to the Leased Premises without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord, except that Tenant may, without obtaining Landlord’s consent, make alterations or improvements (a) if the alterations or improvements do not adversely affect the structural elements or mechanical systems of the Building, do not exceed $15,000.00 in cost (excluding the cost of equipment, machinery or other items installed by Tenant) for any calendar year and do not violate applicable Laws or (b) if the alterations or improvements are required by Law.

 

ARTICLE 7 - CASUALTY AND INSURANCE

 

7.1          Substantial Destruction.  If (i) the Leased Premises or the Building should be destroyed by fire or other casualty, or (ii) the Leased Premises or the Building should be damaged so that rebuilding cannot reasonably be completed substantially within ninety (90) days

 

4



 

after Landlord’s receipt of written notification by Tenant of the destruction, or (iii) the Building shall be so damaged as to render it unsuitable for use as a medical office building comparable to the use to which the Building was being put prior to the casualty and such damage cannot be repaired and the Building restored to such use within ninety (90) days from the date of the casualty, then, at Tenant’s option, this Lease may be terminated and, in such event, the rent shall be abated for the unexpired portion of the Agreement, effective as of the date of the destruction or damage.

 

7.2          Partial Destruction.  If following damage or destruction to the Leased Premises or Building by fire or other casualty, this Agreement is not terminated pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence to rebuild or repair the Building, Leased Premises and other improvements to substantially the same conditions in which they existed prior to the damage.  If Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises or the conduct of its business is impaired due to the damage, whether or not the Leased Premises are themselves damaged, the rent payable under this Lease during the period of impairment shall be equitably reduced based on the degree to which Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Leased Premises are impaired.  Landlord’s obligation to rebuild or restore under this Section shall be limited to restoring the Leased Premises and Building to substantially the condition in which the same existed prior to the casualty, exclusive of improvements for which Tenant is responsible under the terms of this Lease, and Tenant shall, promptly after the completion of such work by Landlord, proceed with reasonable diligence and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense to restore those improvements for which Tenant is responsible under the Lease to substantially the condition in which the same existed prior to the casualty and to otherwise make the Leased Premises suitable for Tenant’s use.  If this Lease is not terminated pursuant to Section 7.1 above, and if Landlord fails to substantially complete the necessary repairs or rebuilding within ninety (90) days from the date of Landlord’s receipt of written notification by Tenant of the destruction, Tenant may at its option terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of termination to Landlord, whereupon all rights and obligations under this Lease shall cease.

 

7.3          Property Insurance.  Landlord shall at all times during the term of this Lease insure the Property against risk of physical loss under standard fire and extended coverage policies of insurance in an amount at least equal to the full replacement cost of the Building.  Landlord shall not be obligated to insure any personal property of Tenant upon or within the Leased Premises, any fixtures installed or paid for by Tenant upon or within the Leased Premises, or any improvements which Tenant may construct on the Leased Premises.  Tenant shall have no right in or claim to the proceeds of any policy of insurance maintained by Landlord.  Tenant at all times during the term of this Lease shall, at its own expense, keep in full force and effect such insurance on its property against fire and such other risks as Tenant deems appropriate, using “blanket” insurance coverage if it so desires.

 

7.4          Waiver of Subrogation.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord and Tenant hereby waive and release each other of and from any and all right of recovery, claim, action or cause of action, against each other, their agents, officers and employees, for any loss or damage that may occur to the Leased Premises, improvements to the Property, or personal property within the Property, by reason of fire or the elements, regardless of cause or origin, including negligence of Landlord or Tenant and their agents, officers and employees.  Landlord and Tenant agree immediately to give their respective

 

5



 

insurance companies written notice of the terms of the mutual waivers contained in this Section, and to have the insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of the insurance coverages by reason of the mutual waivers.

 

7.5          Hold Harmless.  Tenant hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Landlord harmless from and against all liability, damages, costs and expenses from causes of action, suits, claims, demands and judgments of any nature whatsoever caused by the use and occupancy of the Premises by Tenant, its invitees, officers or agents, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents or employees, or Landlord’s breach of this Lease.  Landlord hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Tenant harmless from and against all liability, damages, costs and expenses from causes of action, suits, claims, demands and judgments of any nature whatsoever caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents or employees, or Landlord’s breach of this Agreement.

 

7.6          Liability Insurance.  Landlord and Tenant at all times during the Lease Term shall each, at its own expense, keep in full force and effect comprehensive general liability insurance with “personal injury” coverage, with minimum limits of $1,000,000.00 on account of bodily injuries to, or death of, one more than one person as the result of any one accident or occurrence and $500,000.00 on account of damage to property.  All insurance policies or duly executed certificates for the same required to be carried by Tenant under this Lease, together with satisfactory evidence of the payment of the premium thereof, shall be deposited with Landlord on the date Tenant first occupies the Leased Premises and upon renewals of such policies not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of the term of such coverage.  All insurance required to be carried by Tenant or Landlord under this Lease shall be in form and content, and written by insurers acceptable to the other party in its reasonable discretion.  If either Landlord or Tenant shall fail to comply with any of the requirements contained in this Agreement relating to insurance, the other party may obtain such insurance and the non-complying party shall pay to the other party, on demand, the premium cost thereof.

 

ARTICLE 8 - CONDEMNATION

 

8.1          Substantial Taking.  If (i) all of the Property or Leased Premises is taken for any public or quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by right of eminent domain or by purchase in lieu thereof (a “taking”), or (ii) in the reasonable determination of Tenant a taking of the Leased Premises or other portion of the Property (including parking areas) occurs which would prevent or materially interfere for more than ninety (90) days with the use of the Leased Premises for the purposes for which they are then being used, this Agreement shall, at the option of Tenant, terminate, and the rent shall be abated during the unexpired portion of this Agreement effective on the date physical possession taken by the condemning authority.

 

8.2          Partial Taking.  If this Agreement is not terminated as provided in Section 8.1 above, Landlord shall restore and reconstruct the Property, Leased Premises and other improvements on the Leased Premises, to the greatest degree practicable, to the condition existing prior to the taking.  The rent payable under this Lease during the unexpired portion of the term shall be reduced by a percentage equal to the percentage of the Leased Premises that are untenantable following such taking; provided, however, that if the taking affects a portion of the

 

6



 

Leased Premises in a way that substantially impairs the ability of Tenant to provide medical services to the general public from the Leased Premises, then the Tenant shall at its option be entitled to terminate this Lease whereupon all rights and obligations under this Agreement shall terminate.

 

8.3          Condemnation Proceeds.  All compensation awarded for any taking (or the proceeds of private sale in lieu thereof), whether for the whole or a part of the Leased Premises, shall be the property of Landlord (whether such award is compensation for damages to Landlord’s or Tenant’s interest in the Leased Premises), and Tenant hereby assigns all of its interest in any such award to Landlord; provided, however, Landlord shall have no interest in any award made to Tenant for loss of business or for taking of Tenant’s fixtures and other property within the Leased Premises if a separate award for such items is made to Tenant

 

ARTICLE 9 - ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASE

 

9.1          Assignment; Sublease.

 

(a)           Tenant shall not assign this Agreement or sublease the Lease Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.  If Landlord does not notify Tenant in writing of Landlord’s objection to a proposed assignment of the Lease or a proposed sublease within five (5) business days after Tenant’s written notice to Landlord of its intent to assign the Lease or sublease the Leased Premises, Tenant may assume Landlord approves the proposed sublease or assignment, as applicable.

 

(b)           Tenant agrees to subordinate its interest under this Agreement to any mortgage or deed of trust lien hereafter placed on the Property.

 

9.2          Landlord Assignment.  Landlord shall have the right to sell, transfer or assign, in whole or in part, its rights and obligations under this Lease and in the Property.  No such sale, transfer or assignment shall release Landlord from any liabilities under this Agreement

Exhibit 10.39

 

LEASE AGREEMENT

 

BY THIS LEASE dated February 1, 2001, CROMG PARTNERS, a California general partnership, herein called “Lessor,” leases to COASTAL RADIATION ONCOLOGY MEDICAL GROUP, INC., a California corporation, herein called “Lessee,” that certain real property, herein called “the Premises,” in the City of Salinas, County of Monterey, State of California, commonly known as 1069 Los Palos Drive, Salinas, California, and more particularly described in Exhibit A, attached hereto.

 

ARTICLE 1.  TERM OF LEASE

 

Original Term

 

Section 1.01.                             This Lease shall be for a term of fifteen (15) years, commencing on February 1, 2001, and ending on January 31, 2016.

 

Extended Term

 

Section 1.02.                             Should Lessee perform all the terms and conditions of this Lease and provided Lessee is not then in default under the terms of this Lease, Lessee may extend this Lease for two (2) additional, separate terms of ten (10) years each, commencing on expiration of the preceding term, by giving Lessor written notice of Lessee’s desire to extend the term hereof not less than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to expiration of the preceding term.  This option to extend the term of this Lease is personal to Lessee and may not be transferred by Lessee without Lessor’s prior written consent.

 

Hold Over

 

Section 1.03.                             Should Lessee hold over and continue in possession of the Premises after expiration of the term of this Lease or any extension thereof, Lessee’s continued occupancy of the Premises shall be considered a month-to-month tenancy subject to all the terms and conditions of this Lease, except that the base rent shall be in an amount equal to 100% of the last monthly rent.  If Lessee fails to surrender the Premises upon the expiration of this Lease, Lessee shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from all loss or liability, including without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded on or resulting from such failure to surrender.

 

ARTICLE 2.  RENT

 

Base Rent

 

Section 2.01.                             For the first year of the term hereof, Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor a fixed rental for the use and occupancy of the Premises of Sixteen Thousand Seven Hundred Eighty Eight Dollars ($16,788.00) per month, payable on the first (1st) day of each and every calendar month commencing on February 1, 2001, at 316 S. Stratford Avenue, Santa Maria, CA 93454, or at such other place or places as Lessor may from time to time designate by written notice delivered to Lessee.

 



 

Rent Adjustment

 

Section 2.02.                             The Base Rent provided for in Section 2.01 above shall be increased by three percent (3%) one year after the commencement of the term hereof and annually thereafter on the same date each calendar year until April 1, 2002.  Commencing on April 1, 2002 the Base Rent shall be reduced to Thirteen Thousand One Hundred Forty One Dollars ($13,141.00) per month.  On April 1 of each calendar year thereafter, including any exercised options to extend (“the adjustment date”) the Base Rent shall be adjusted by three percent (3%) per year.

 

Base Rent for Extension Terms

 

(a)                                  In the event Lessee timely exercises its option to extend the lease term under Section 1.02 above, then within fifteen (15) days of Lessee’s written notice to Lessor of Lessee’s exercise of such option, Lessor and Lessee shall meet to establish the Base Rent for the first year of the Extension Term (“Rent Meeting”).  The Base Rent per square foot of leaseable area in the Premises for the first year of each extension term shall be the fair market rental value of the Premises, determined in accordance with the following formula:

 

Vault Sq. Ft. X (Market Rent x 2.67)  +  Medical Sq. Ft X (Market Rent)
(divided by) total leaseable square footage

 

= Base Rent per square foot

 

As used in the above formula, “Vault Sq. Ft.” means the total square footage of the treatment vaults, other than any treatment vaults added at the Lessee’s cost and expense.  “Market Rent” is the current fair market rent per square foot for medical office space in the City of Salinas, California on a triple net basis.  This space will be leased (not subleased) and will be comparable in size, location and quality to the Premises.  “Medical Sq. Ft” refers to all leaseable space in the Premises other than Vault Sq. Ft.  “Total leaseable square footage” shall be the total leaseable square footage in the Premises determined by survey.

 

In the event that the parties cannot agree on the Market Rent for the first year of an extension term, then within ten (10) days after the Rent Meeting, Lessor and Lessee shall each specify in writing to the other party its determination of such Market Rent Rate.  If either party fails to submit its written determination in accordance with this Section, the Base Rent for the extension term shall be the determination submitted by the other party.

 

(b)                                 Within ten (10) days after the parties have exchanged written determinations, Lessor and Lessee shall mutually select three commercial realtors within the City of Salinas to determine the Market Rent.  Each such realtor shall (i) be disinterested; (ii) be qualified to determine the fair market rental rates for real estate similar to the Premises; and (iii) have been actively engaged in the leasing of comparable medical space in the City of Salinas for a period of not less than five (5) continuous years immediately preceding his or her appointment.  If Lessor and Lessee are unable to mutually select three such commercial realtors, then either party, on behalf of both, may request such appointment by the President of the local chapter of the California Realtors Association.  If such Association is not then in existence, either party, on behalf of both, may request such appointment by the presiding judge of the Superior Court of the

 

2



 

Judicial District in which the property is located.  Each such realtor shall submit their respective determinations of Market Rent for the area in writing to both parties and shall provide the basis for such determination.

 

(c)                                  The average of the three written determinations of Market Rent prepared by the realtors so selected shall be utilized to determine the Base Rent of the Premises for the initial year of the extension term.  The costs of the three realtors’ services shall be shared equally by the parties.  The decision of the realtors shall be binding upon the Lessor and Lessee.

 

(d)                                 In the event that the parties have not agreed on the Market Rent or the realtors have not been selected and the Market Rent determined before the commencement of the extension term, Lessee shall continue to pay the same lease rate in effect at the end of the lease year immediately preceding the commencement of the extension term.  Lessee shall pay such sum as Base Rent until the initial Base Rent for the extension term is determined, at which time Lessee shall promptly pay Lessor any additional rent due by reason of any increase in the Base Rent during the extension term over the Base Rent previously paid by Lessee.  If the Base Rent actually paid by Lessee during this period is ultimately determined to be more than the revised Base Rent as finally determined as above provided, any such over payment shall constitute a credit against the revised Base Rent, and that credit shall be applied to the following month or months until such credit is exhausted.

 

(e)                                  The Base Rent as above determined shall be subject to increase at the end of the first lease year of the extension term in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02 above.

 

Taxes, Utilities and Operating Expenses as Additional Rent

 

Section 2.03.                             In addition to the rent specified in Sections 2.01 and 2.02 above, Lessee shall pay, as additional rent, all Utilities, Insurance, Personal and Real Property Taxes and Operating Expenses directly to the vendor or creditor for such items, or otherwise as set forth in this Section 2.03.  If Lessee fails to pay any such amount, Lessor may in its sole discretion, advance monies to pay such items, and demand reimbursement in full from Lessee (referred to as “additional rent” herein), including without limitation any cost, expense, assessment or charge, as well as interest as provided in this Lease.

 

Utilities

 

(a)                                  Lessee shall pay, and hold Lessor and the property of Lessor including the Premises, free and harmless from, all charges for the furnishing of gas, water, sewer, electricity, telephone service, garbage and trash removal and other public utilities during the entire term of this Lease or any extension thereof.  All such charges shall be paid by Lessee directly to the provider of the service and shall be paid as they become due and payable but in any event before delinquency.

 

Lessee agrees that Lessor shall not be liable for damages, by abatement of Rent or otherwise, for failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any service (including telephone and telecommunication services) or for diminution in the quality or quantity of any service when the failure, delay, or diminution is entirely or partially caused by:

 

3



 

(i)                  Breakage repairs, replacements, or improvements;

 

(ii)               Strike, lockout, or other labor trouble;

 

(iii)            Inability to secure electricity, gas, water, or other fuel at the Building after reasonable effort to do so;

 

(iv)           Accident or casualty;

 

(v)              Act or default of Lessee or other parties; or

 

(vi)           Any other cause beyond Lessor’s reasonable control.

 

Such failure, delay, or diminution shall not be considered to constitute an eviction or a disturbance of Lessee’s use and possession of the Premises or relieve Lessee from paying rent or performing any of its obligations under this Lease.  Lessor shall not be liable under any circumstances for a loss of or injury to property or for injury to or interference with Lessee’s business, including loss of profits through, in connection with, or incidental to a failure to furnish any of the utilities or services under this Section 2.03.  Lessor may comply with mandatory or voluntary controls or guidelines promulgated by any government entity relating to the use or conservation of energy, water, gas, light, or electricity or the reduction of automobile or other emissions without creating any liability of Lessor to Lessee under this Lease as long as compliance with voluntary controls or guidelines does not materially and unreasonably interfere with Lessee’s use of the Premises.

 

Personal Property Taxes

 

(b)                                 Lessee shall pay before they become delinquent all taxes, assessments and other charges levied or imposed by any governmental entity on the furniture, trade fixtures, equipment and other personal property placed by Lessee in, on or about the Premises.

 

Real Property Taxes

 

(c)                                  Lessee shall pay all real property taxes and general and special assessments on the Premises, including any increases in such taxes and assessments, before they become delinquent.

 

The real property taxes and assessments levied against the Premises for the first and last years of the term hereof shall be prorated between Lessor and Lessee for purposes of this section as of 12:01 AM. on the date of commencement and termination respectively of this Lease.

 

Lessee shall have the right, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, to protest or contest in good faith the amount of any tax or assessment.  As a condition precedent to Lessee’s right to protest such taxes or assessments, Lessee shall either pay the disputed amount and file for refund or deposit with Lessor the disputed amount plus one (1) years interest at the rate then charged by said county plus any estimated penalty which Lessor may incur by non-payment.  Upon such payment or deposit, Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee in prosecuting such dispute.

Operating Expenses

 

(d)                                 Lessee shall pay all Operating Expenses attributable to the occupation and use of the Premises.

 

The term “Operating Expenses” as used in this Lease shall mean all expenses, costs and fees attributable to Lessee’s use and occupancy of the Premises under this Lease, including but not limited to:

 

(i)                  Miscellaneous operating costs, maintenance, security services, replacement for normal wear and tear, repair, re-striping and resurfacing of paving, insurance (including public liability and property damage, rent continuation, boiler and machinery and extended coverage insurance), and cleaning of the Premises and all parts thereof and all furnishings, fixtures and equipment therein.  The term “Operating Expenses” shall include the annual amortization of costs (including financing at the then prevailing rate, if any) of any improvements, equipment, or devices required by any governmental authority or incurred as a labor saving measure or to reduce operation or maintenance expenses with respect to the Premises where such costs are amortized over the useful life thereof.

 

(ii)               Operating Expenses shall also include licenses, permits, charges and assessments which are levied, assessed, imposed or collected by any governmental authority or improvement or assessment district during any calendar year with respect to the Premises and Lessee’s use and occupancy of the Premises and the land on which the premises are located, and any improvements, fixtures, equipment and other property of Lessor, real or personal, used in connection with the operation or maintenance of the Premises (computed on a cash basis or as if paid in permitted installments regardless of whether actually so paid), as well as any tax which shall be levied or assessed in addition to or in lieu of any tax described in Sections 2.03 (b) or (c) above (it being acknowledged that because of the passage of laws which limit increases in property taxes, government agencies may impose fees, charges, assessments or other levies in connection with services previously furnished without charge or at a lesser charge and which were previously paid for in whole or in part, directly or indirectly by real property taxes), any gross excise tax or other similar tax, and any costs or expenses of contesting any such taxes, licenses, charges or assessments, but excluding any federal or state income or gift tax or any franchise, capital stock, estate or Inheritance taxes.

 

Late Charges

 

Section 2.04.                             If any installment of rent or other payment required to be paid by Lessee to Lessor is not paid within ten (10) days of the date on which it is due, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the late payment shall be due from Lessee to Lessor to compensate Lessor for the additional administrative work caused by such default and to compensate Lessor for the loss of use of such defaulted payment.  The late charge herein shall be in addition to any other remedy which Lessor may have hereunder for such default.

Interest on Late Payments

 

Section 2.05.                             If any payment required to be paid by Lessee to Lessor is not paid within ten (10) days of the date on which it is due, such payment shall bear interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date it became due until it is paid by Lessee to Lessor.

Lessee shall, at Lessee’s sole expense and with counsel reasonably acceptable to Lessor, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lessor and Lessor’s shareholders, directors, officers, employees, partners, affiliates, agents, successors, and assigns with respect to all losses arising out of or resulting from the release of any Hazardous Material in or about the Premises or the Building, or the violation of any Environmental Law, by Lessee or Lessee’s agents, assignees, sublessees, contractors, or invitees.  This indemnification applies whether or not the concentrations of any such Hazardous Material is material, the concentrations exceed state or federal maximum contaminant or action levels, or any governmental agency has issued a cleanup order.  This indemnification includes:

This indemnification shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

 

If the presence of any Hazardous Material brought onto the Premises or the Building by Lessee or Lessee’s employees, agents, contractors, or invitees results in contamination of the Building, Lessee shall promptly take all necessary actions to remove or remediate such Hazardous Materials, whether or not they are present at concentrations exceeding state or federal maximum concentration or action levels, or any governmental agency has issued a cleanup order, at Lessee’s sole expense, to return the Premises or the Building to the condition that existed before the introduction of such Hazardous Material.  Lessee shall first obtain Lessor’s approval of the proposed removal or remedial action.  This provision does not limit the indemnification obligation set forth in Section 3.04.

 

Compliance With Law

 

Section 3.05.                             Lessee shall at Lessee’s own cost and expense comply with all statues, ordinances, regulations, existing use permits and requirements of all governmental entities, both federal and state and county or municipal, relating to Lessee’s use and occupancy of the Premises whether such statutes, ordinances, regulations, and requirements be now in force or hereinafter enacted.  The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction, or the admission by Lessee in a proceeding brought against Lessee by any government entity, that Lessee has violated any such statute, ordinance, regulation, or requirement shall be conclusive as between Lessor and Lessee and shall be grounds for termination of this Lease by Lessor.  Lessor agrees that any requirements of the Municipal, State, or Federal authorities which require alteration of Lessor’s building shall not be the responsibility of Lessee, unless required because of an act of Lessee or a use of the Premises by Lessee.

Should Lessee fail to maintain the Premises as set forth above, Lessor may, at Lessor’s option, perform or contract for the performance of such maintenance for and on behalf of Lessee.  In such event, Lessee shall promptly on written demand of Lessor reimburse Lessor for all cost and expense incurred by Lessor in performing Lessee’s obligations hereunder plus interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date expended by Lessor to the date of repayment by Lessee.

Alterations and Liens

 

Section 4.02.                             Lessor and Lessee agree that from time to time during the term of this Lease, Lessee may desire alterations, changes and additions in and to the interior of the Premises and to the Building that are necessary or convenient to the operation of its business at the Premises.

 

Non-structural Changes

 

(a)                                  Lessee may, at its own expense, make nonstructural changes to the interior of the Premises (eg. revisions to interior decor, carpeting, painting, wall covering, etc.) provided that the value of the Premises shall not be diminished thereby.  Further provided, that any non-structural changes exceeding $5,000 in total cost must first be approved by the Lessor prior to commencement of such changes.

 

Structural Changes

 

(b)                                 If Lessee desires either (i) interior changes to the Premises of a structural nature (eg. relocating interior walls); or (ii) changes to the facade or exterior walls or roof, or (iii) desires the addition of square footage to the Premises (i.e. addition of Medical square footage or Vault square footage) then Lessee shall submit detailed plans and specifications for any proposed alteration or improvement to the Premises for Lessor’s review and approval.  The Lessor shall have the option to approve or deny the request for structural changes in writing within 30 (thirty) days of receipt of such request, in the reasonable discretion of the Lessor.  The failure of the Lessor to disapprove or object to such plans and specifications or any substantial changes therein within said thirty (30) days, shall constitute Lessor’s disapproval of the same.  Subsequent to such approval, minor changes in work or materials not affecting the general character of the improvements need not be approved by Lessor but a copy of the altered plans and specifications reflecting such changes must be promptly given to Lessor.  If approved, the Lessor shall have the option to pay for the changes, or not, in its sole discretion.  If the Lessor chooses to pay for the changes, then the parties shall meet immediately to negotiate an adjustment to the Base Rent to go into effect at the completion of the alterations.  If the Lessor chooses not to pay for the alterations, the Lessee has the option to proceed with the alterations, in its sole discretion and at its expense, without paying any amount of rent for the added square footage for the remaining Original Term, only the expenses attributable to the additional space.

 

Supervision of Alterations

 

(c)                                  All structural changes to the Premises involving load bearing walls which require Lessor’s approval shall be made under the supervision of a licensed architect or licensed structural engineer in accordance with the detailed plans and specifications submitted to Lessor as above provided.

 

Notices of Non-Responsibility

 

(d)                                 Lessee shall provide Lessor with at least twenty (20) days written notice prior to commencing any alteration, addition or change to the Premises requiring Lessor’s approval and

Lessor shall have the right to enter the Premises to post Notices of Non-Responsibility as provided by law.

 

Quality of Work; Ownership

 

(e)                                  All work with respect to any alteration, addition or change must be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and diligently prosecuted to completion to the end that the Premises shall at all times be a complete unit, except during the period of work.  Furthermore, any and all alterations, additions, improvements, and fixtures, except furniture and trade fixtures, made or placed in or on the Premises by Lessee or any other person shall on expiration or sooner termination of this Lease become the property of Lessor and remain on the Premises; provided, however, that Lessor shall have the option on expiration or sooner termination of this Lease of requiring Lessee, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, to remove any or all such alterations, additions, improvements, or fixtures from the Premises (excluding vaults).  All such changes, alterations, and improvements shall be performed and completed strictly in accordance with the laws and ordinances relating thereto, and in such a manner as not to impede access to the Premises.

 

Lessee shall not be the cause or object of any liens or allow such liens to exist, attach to, be placed on, or encumber Lessor’s or Lessee’s interest in the Premises, Building, or Real Property by operation of law or otherwise.  Lessee shall not suffer or permit any lien of mechanics, material suppliers, or others to be placed against the Premises, with respect to work or services performed or claimed to have been furnished to Lessee or the Premises.  If any such lien attaches or Lessee receives notice of any such lien, Lessee shall cause the lien to be immediately released and removed of record.  Despite any other provision of this Lease, if the lien is not released and removed within 10 (ten) days after Lessor delivers notice of the lien to Lessee, Lessor may immediately take all action necessary to release and remove the lien, without any duty to investigate the validity of it.  All expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred by Lessor in connection with the lien shall be considered additional rent under this Lease and be immediately due and payable by Lessee.

 

Additional Requirements

 

(f)                                    If Lessee pays for the changes, the following provisions shall apply to such changes:

 

(i)                  The exterior of the improvements shall be compatible with the design and appearance of the Premises as it exists at the time of execution of this Lease.

 

(ii)               All work required in the construction of the structural changes, including any site preparation work, utility installations as well as actual construction shall be performed only pursuant to a contract entered into by Lessee with a competent general contractor and sub-contractors duly licensed as such under the Laws of the State of California, with proof of adequate liability and workers compensation insurance.

 

(iii)            The approval by Lessor of any plans and specifications under this paragraph refers only to the conformity of such plans and specifications to the general architectural plan for the Building.  By approving such plans and specifications, Lessor assumes no liability or

 

10



 

responsibility therefor and for any defect in any structure constructed from such plans or specifications.

 

Inspection by Lessor

 

Section 4.03.                             Lessee shall permit Lessor or his agents to enter into and upon the Premises during business hours for the purpose of inspecting the same, or for the purpose of posting notices of non-responsibility for alterations, additions or repairs or for the purpose of placing upon the property in which the Premises are located any usual or ordinary “for sale” signs, without any rebate of rent and without any liability to Lessee for any loss of occupation or quiet enjoyment of the Premises thereby occasioned.  Lessee shall permit Lessor, at any time within one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of this Lease, to place upon the Premises any usual or ordinary “to let” or “to lease” signs, provided that such entries made by Lessor hereunder shall not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Lessee’s business.

 

Surrender of Premises

 

Section 4.04.                             On expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, or any extensions or renewals of this Lease, Lessee shall promptly surrender and deliver the Premises to Lessor in as good condition as they are on at the date of possession, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

 

ARTICLE 5.  INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE

 

Hold-Harmless Clause

 

Section 5.01.                             To the fullest extent permitted by law, Lessee, on its behalf and on behalf of its successors and assignees, waives all claims (in law, equity, or otherwise) against Lessor, its officers, directors, principals, agents, successors, assignees and agent arising out of, knowingly and voluntarily assumes the risk of, and agrees that Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for any of the following acts or failure to act set forth in paragraphs (a) to (c) below.  Lessor shall not be liable under this clause regardless of whether the liability results from any active or passive act, error, omission, or negligence of any of the Lessor; or is based on claims in which liability without fault or strict liability is imposed or sought to be imposed on any of the Lessor.  This exculpation clause shall not apply to claims against Lessor to the extent that a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction establishes that the injury, loss, damage, or destruction was proximately caused by Lessor’s fraud, willful injury to person or property, or violation of law.

 

(a)                                  The death or injury of any person or persons, including Lessee or any person who is an employee or agent of Lessee, or by reason of the damage to or destruction of any property, including property owned by Lessee or any person who is an employee or agent of Lessee, and caused or allegedly caused by either the condition of the Premises, or some act or omission of Lessee or of some agent, contractor, employee, servant, sublessee, or concessionaire of Lessee on the Premises;

 

(b)                                 Any work performed on the Premises or materials furnished to the Premises at the instance or request of Lessee or any agent or employee of Lessee;

 

11

Liability Insurance

 

Section 5.02.                             Lessee shall, at its own cost and expense, obtain and maintain during the entire term of this Lease and any renewals or extensions thereof, a broad form comprehensive coverage policy of public liability insurance issued by an insurance company or companies rated by Best as A+ or better and authorized to conduct insurance business in the State of California and insuring Lessee and Lessor against loss or liability caused by or connected with Lessee’s occupation and use of the Premises under this Lease in amounts not less than:

 

(a)                                  $1,000,000.00 combined single limit for injury to or death as a result of any accident or incident.

 

(b)                                 $2,000,000.00 for damage to or destruction of any property of others.

 

Such public liability insurance, and property damage insurance shall insure performance by Lessee of the indemnity provisions of Section 5.01 above.  Both parties shall be named as co-insured, and the policy shall contain cross liability endorsements, if available.  The policy shall be primary insurance for all claims under it and provide that any insurance carried by Lessor is strictly excess, secondary, and noncontributing with any insurance carried by Lessee.  Lessee may provide such insurance under a single policy or under one or more separate policies.

 

Every three (3) years, Lessor may increase the amount of public liability and property damage insurance coverage required hereunder, if at that time the existing coverage is not adequate in the opinion of Lessor’s insurance broker or lender(s).

 

Fire and Casualty Insurance

 

Section 5.03.                             Lessee shall, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, at all times during the term hereof, and any extensions thereof, keep all buildings, improvements and other structures on the Premises insured for their full replacement cost against loss or destruction by fire and the perils, including vandalism and malicious mischief, commonly covered under standard extended coverage endorsements in Monterey County, California.  Lessor shall be named as an additional insured on all such policies and the policies shall contain a cross-liability endorsement.

 

“Full replacement cost” as used herein shall mean the actual cost of replacement for the buildings and other improvements on the Premises, as determined from time to time by Lessor.  Upon notification to Lessee in writing of Lessor’s determination of full replacement cost, Lessee shall, within thirty (30) days of such written notice, increase the amount of the insurance carried to the amount stated in the notice.

 

Business Interruption Insurance

 

Section 5.04.                             Lessee shall, at all times during the term of this Lease and any extensions thereof, maintain at Lessee’s sole cost and expense a policy of business interruption insurance,

 

12



 

ensuring the rent provided for in this Lease will be paid to Lessor for a period not less than one (1) year in the event the Premises are destroyed or damaged so as to render operation of Lessee’s business impossible or impractical by any casualty insured against by standard fire and extended coverage insurance.

 

Lessee’s Personal Property

 

Section 5.05.                             Lessee shall, at all times during the term of this Lease and any extensions thereof, maintain at Lessee’s sole cost and expense an insurance policy issued by a company acceptable to Lessor insuring for their full insurable value all furniture, fixtures, equipment and alterations or improvements made to the Premises by Lessee against loss or destruction by fire and the perils commonly covered under the standard extended coverage endorsement to fire insurance policies in Monterey County.  Any loss payable under such insurance shall be payable to Lessee and shall be used to repair or replace such furniture, fixtures, equipment and alterations and improvements.

 

Cancellation Clause

 

Section 5.06.                             Any policy of insurance required to be obtained and maintained by Lessee under this Article shall be written by insurance companies authorized to do business in the State of California.  Each such policy of insurance shall expressly provide that it cannot be cancelled for any reason or altered in any manner unless at least thirty (30) days prior written notice has been given to Lessor by the insurance company.

 

Deposit of Insurance with Lessor

 

Section 5.07.                             Lessee shall, prior to taking possession of the Premises and promptly thereafter when any such policy is replaced, rewritten, or renewed, deliver to Lessor a true and correct copy of each insurance policy required by this Article of this Lease or a certificate executed by the insurance company or companies or their authorized agent evidencing such policy or policies.

 

Lessor’s Right to Procure Insurance

 

Section 5.08.                             If at any time Lessee fails to procure or maintain the insurance required by this Article, Lessor may obtain that insurance and pay the premiums on it for the benefit of Lessee.  Any amounts paid by Lessor to procure or maintain insurance pursuant to this section shall be immediately due and repayable to Lessor by Lessee with the next then due installment of rent under this Lease.  Failure to repay at that time any amount expended by Lessor shall be considered the same as a failure to pay rent and a default by Lessee under this Lease.

 

Lessor’s Indemnity

 

5.09                           Lessor expressly agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold Lessee harmless from all claims arising from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation to be performed by Lessor under the terms of this Lease and from and against all costs, loss, damage, legal expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any claim for indemnity

 

13



 

brought by the Lessee under this provision shall be limited to Lessor’s interest in the Premises, and Lessee shall not have recourse to any other assets of Lessor or to the assets of any partner of Lessor for such claim.

 

ARTICLE 6.  SIGNS AND TRADE FIXTURES

 

Installation and Removal of Trade Fixtures

 

Section 6.01.                             Lessee shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the term of this Lease and any renewal or extension of such term, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, to install and affix in, to, or on the Premises such items, herein called “trade fixtures”, for use in Lessee’s trade or business as Lessee may, in its sole discretion, deem advisable.  Any and all such trade fixtures that can be removed without structural damage to the Premises or any building or improvement on the Premises shall remain the property of the Lessee and may be removed by Lessee at any time or times prior to the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

 

Unremoved Trade Fixtures

 

Section 6.02.                             Any trade fixtures described in this Article that are not removed from the Premises by Lessee within ten (10) days after the expiration or sooner termination, regardless of cause, of this Lease shall be deemed abandoned by Lessee and shall automatically become the property of Lessor as owner of the real property to which they are affixed, unless Lessor notifies Lessee, in writing, of Lessor’s election to have Lessee remove such trade fixtures and to repair any damage caused thereby.  Upon such election by Lessor to require Lessee to remove such trade fixtures, Lessee shall have fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice in which to remove such trade fixtures and repair any damage caused by such removal.  If Lessee fails to remove such trade fixtures and repair any such damage, Lessor may do so at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, including any costs of storing such property.  Such costs and expenses, if incurred by Lessor for Lessee’s benefit, shall be promptly, upon written demand therefor, reimbursed to Lessor by Lessee, together with interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date expended by Lessor to the date of reimbursement by Lessee.

 

Signs

 

Section 6.03.                             Lessee may place and maintain, or permit any other person to place and maintain any sign on the Premises providing such sign is in compliance with then existing governmental regulations.  Lessee may not place any decoration, lettering, or advertising matter on the glass of any exterior show window of the Premises.  Lessee shall maintain such sign at all times during this Lease in good appearance and repair.  On expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, all such signs not removed from the Premises by Lessee on such expiration or termination of this Lease may, without liability, be destroyed by Lessor.

ARTICLE 7.  DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION OR CONDEMNATION

 

Duty to Repair or Restore

(a)                                  If the damage or destruction is caused by a peril against which fire and extended coverage insurance is required to be carried under this Lease, Lessee shall repair that damage as soon as reasonably possible and restore the Premises and improvements to substantially the same condition as existed before the damage or destruction, regardless of whether the insurance proceeds are sufficient to cover the actual cost of repair or restoration.  If insurance required to be carried by Lessee under this Lease has lapsed or not been carried, Lessee shall be solely responsible for the full cost and expense of necessary repairs and restoration.

 

(b)                                 If the damage or destruction is caused by a peril against which insurance is not required to be carried by this Lease, Lessor, subject to Lessor’s right to terminate this Lease described in Section 7.02, shall repair that damage as soon as reasonably possible and restore the Premises to substantially the same condition as existed before the damage or destruction.

 

(c)                                  Whether the damage of destruction is caused either by a peril against which fire and extended coverage insurance is required by this Lease to be carried or by a peril against which insurance is not required to be carried by this Lease, Lessee expressly waives any right under Civil Code Sections 1931-1933 to terminate this Lease for damage or destruction to the Premises.

 

Termination of Lease for Certain Losses

 

Section 7.02.                             (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, if any improvements located on the Premises are damaged or destroyed to such extent it will cost more than $100,000.00 to repair or replace them, and the damage or destruction is caused by a peril against which insurance is not required to be carried by this Lease, Lessor may terminate this Lease by giving Lessee written notice of the termination.  The notice must be given within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of the damage or destruction.

 

(b)                                 Lessee or Lessor shall have the right to terminate this Lease under either of the following circumstances:

 

(i)                  If the Premises are damaged or destroyed from any cause whatsoever, insured or uninsured, and the laws then in effect do not permit the repair or restoration of the Premises provided for in this Article; or

 

(ii)               If the Premises are damaged or destroyed from any cause whatsoever, insured or uninsured, during the last year of the term of this Lease or any extension thereof (provided Lessee has not elected before the date of damage or destruction to extend the term of this Lease in accordance with Section 1.02).

 

15



 

(c)                                  Either party may terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination to the other party not later than fourteen (14) days after the right to terminate accrues, and such termination shall be effective as of the date of the notice of termination.  In the event of a termination under subsection (b), Lessee shall not be entitled to collect any insurance proceeds attributable to insurance policies covering the Premises or improvements except those proceeds attributable to Lessee’s personal property and trade fixtures.

 

(d)                                 If this Lease is terminated pursuant to either subsection (a) or (b) above, the rent and other sums payable by Lessee to Lessor under this Lease shall be prorated as of the termination date.  If any such sums have been paid in advance by Lessee, Lessor shall refund them to Lessee for the unexpired period for which the payment has been made.

 

Time for Construction of Repairs

 

Section 7.03.                             Any and all repairs and restorations of improvements required by this Article shall be commenced by Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be, within a reasonable time after the occurrence of the damage or destruction requiring the repairs or restoration; shall be diligently pursued after being commenced; and shall be completed within a reasonable time after the loss.  If Lessor is required under this Lease to perform the repairs and restoration, Lessor shall cause the repairs and restoration to be completed within 180 days after the occurrence of the event causing destruction or Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease, unless the delays are caused by events outside the control of Lessor.

 

Insurance Proceeds

 

Section 7.04.                             If the damage or destruction is caused by a peril against which fire and extended coverage insurance is required to be carried and maintained under this Lease by Lessee, the proceeds of insurance shall be paid directly to the parties for the purpose of making the necessary repairs to the Premises as required under this Lease.

 

Abatement of Rent

 

Section 7.05.                             In the event of repair, replacement or restoration as herein provided, the Base Rent payable under this Lease shall be abated proportionately with the degree to which Lessee’s use of the Premises is impaired, from the date of the damage until completion of repairs plus one (1) calendar month.  Lessee shall not be entitled to any compensation of damages for loss in the use of all or part of the Premises and/or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such damage, repair, replacement or reconstruction.

 

Total Condemnation

 

Section 7.06.                             Should, during the term of this Lease or any renewal or extension thereof, title and possession of all of the Premises be taken under the power of eminent domain by any public or quasi-public agency or entity, this Lease shall terminate as of 12:01 A.M. on the date actual physical possession of the Premises is taken by the agency or entity exercising the power of eminent domain and both Lessor and Lessee shall thereafter be released from all obligations, except those specified in Section 7.10 of this Lease, under this Lease.

 

16



 

Termination Option for Partial Condemnation

 

Section 7.07.                             Should, during the term of this Lease or any extension thereof, title and possession of only a portion of the Premises be taken under the power of eminent domain by any public or quasi-public agency or entity, Lessee may, at Lessee’s option, terminate this Lease if more than 35 percent of the floor space or more than 55 percent in value of the Premises is taken under the power of eminent domain.  Lessee shall exercise its option by giving written notice to Lessor within 30 days after actual physical possession of the portion subject to the eminent domain power is taken by the agency or entity exercising that power.  This Lease shall terminate as of 12:01 A.M. on the date the notice is deemed given to Lessor but the rent specified in Article 2 of this Lease shall be reduced in the manner specified in Section 7.08 below from the date of taking to the date of termination of the lease.

 

Partial Condemnation Without Termination

 

Section 7.08.                             Should Lessee fail to exercise the option described in Section 7.06 of this Lease or should the portion of the Premises taken under the power of eminent domain be insufficient to give rise to the option described in Section 7.07 of this Lease, then, in that event:

 

(a)                                  This Lease shall terminate as to the portion of the Premises taken by eminent domain as of 12:01 A.M.  on the day, herein called the “date of taking,” actual physical possession of that portion of the Premises is taken by the agency or entity exercising the power of eminent domain;

 

(b)                                 The rent specified in Article 2 of this Lease shall, after the date of taking, be reduced by an amount that bears the same ratio to the rent specified in Article 2 of this Lease as the square footage floor space of the portion of said premise taken under the power of eminent domain bears to the total square footage floor space of the Premises as of the date of this Lease; and

 

(c)                                  Lessor, at Lessor’s own cost and expense, will remodel and reconstruct the building remaining on the portion of the Premises not taken by eminent domain into a single efficient architectural unit as soon after the date of taking, or before, as can be reasonably done; provided, however, that the rent specified in this Lease shall not be abated or reduced, except as provided in subparagraph (b) of this section, during such remodeling and reconstruction.

 

Condemnation Award

 

Section 7.09.                             Should, during the term of this Lease or any renewal or extension thereof, title and possession of all or any portion of the Premises be taken under the power of eminent domain by any public or quasi-public agency or entity, the portion of the compensation or damages for the taking awarded to each of the parties to this Lease, Lessor and Lessee, shall belong to and be the sole property of the party Lessor or Lessee, to whom it is awarded.  Lessee shall be entitled to that portion of the compensation or damages awarded for the eminent domain taking that represents (i) reasonable value of Lessee’s rights under this Lease for the unexpired term of this Lease and (ii) the cost or loss sustained by Lessee because of the removal of Lessee’s trade fixtures, equipment and furnishings from the portion of the Premises taken by eminent domain.

 

17



 

Arbitration of Condemnation Award

 

Section 7.10.                             Should separate awards not be made to Lessor and Lessee for the taking by eminent domain of all or any portion of the Premises, and should Lessor and Lessee be unable to agree on the manner the total award is to be divided between them pursuant to Section 7.09 of this Lease, the proper division of the award between Lessor and Lessee shall be settled by arbitration as provided in Section 9.03.

 

Lessee’s Waiver

 

Section 7.11.                             Lessee agrees that its rights to terminate this Lease due to partial condemnation are governed by this Section.  Lessee waives all rights it may have under California Code of Civil Procedure section 1265.13, or otherwise, to terminate this Lease based on a partial condemnation.

 

ARTICLE 8.  DEFAULT, ASSIGNMENT, AND TERMINATION

 

Subleasing or Assigning as Breach

 

Section 8.01.                             Lessee shall not encumber, assign, or otherwise transfer this Lease, any right or interest in this Lease, or any right or interest in the Premises or any of the improvements that may now or hereafter be constructed or installed on the Premises without the express written consent of Lessor first had and obtained.  Neither shall Lessee sublet the Premises or any part thereof or allow any other person, other than Lessee’s patrons, agents, servants, and employees, to occupy the Premises or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Lessor.  The consent of Lessor to any assignment of Lessee’s interest in this Lease or the subletting by Lessee of the Premises or parts of the Premises shall not be unreasonably withheld.  A consent by Lessor to one assignment, one subletting, or one occupation of the Premises by another person shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, or occupation of the Premises by another person.  Any encumbrance, assignment, transfer, or subletting without the prior written consent of Lessor, whether it be voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, is void and shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate this Lease.  Notwithstanding the above, Lessee may assign or sublease the Premises, or portions thereof, to a subsidiary, affiliate or parent of Lessee.  Such permitted assignment shall not relieve Lessee or any person who has personally guaranteed Lessee’s performance of this Lease from any liability under this Lease or any such guarantee.

 

Lessee’s Default

 

Section 8.02.                             The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default under this Lease by Lessee:

 

(a)                                  Non-curable Defaults:  (i) The vacation or abandonment of any substantial portion of the Premises by Lessee for a period of five (5) business days or longer;

 

(ii)               Any involuntary transfer of Lessee’s interest in this Lease or any voluntary transfer, attempted or actual, of Lessee’s interest in this Lease, without Lessor’s prior written consent, in violation of Section 8.01;

 

18



 

(iii)            If the leasehold interest of Lessee is levied upon under execution or is attached by process of law and said levy or attachment is not promptly released;

 

(iv)           If:  (1) all or substantially all of the Lessee’s assets are placed in the hands of a receiver or trustee, and such receivership or trusteeship continues for a period of sixty (60) days, or

 

(2)          if Lessee makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or is adjudicated a bankrupt, or

 

(3)          if Lessee institutes any proceedings under any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or under any other act relating to the subject of bankruptcy wherein Lessee seeks to be adjudicated a bankrupt, be discharged of its debts, or effect a plan of liquidation, composition, arrangement or reorganization, or

 

(4)          if any involuntary proceeding is filed against Lessee under any such bankruptcy laws and Lessee consents thereto or acquiesces therein by pleading or default,

 

then any such act shall be deemed a breach of this Lease, and neither this Lease nor any interest in and to the Premises shall become an asset in any of such proceedings and, in any such event, and in addition to any and all rights or remedies of Lessor hereunder or provided by law, this Lease shall terminate automatically as of the date on which any one or more of the above-described occurrences takes place.  In such event, it shall be lawful for Lessor to re-enter the Premises and take possession thereof and remove all persons and all of Lessee’s personal property, fixtures, equipment, alterations, improvements and utility installations therefrom, and Lessee shall have no further claim to the Premises or under this Lease.  Nothing contained herein shall limit or prejudice the right of Lessor to recover damages by reason of any such termination equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, such damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount is greater, equal to, or less than the amount of damages recoverable under the provisions of this Article.  However, the foregoing provisions in this Article shall be subject to the Bankruptcy Code, as heretofore and hereafter amended.

 

(b)                                 Curable Defaults:  (i) The failure by Lessee to make any payment of Basic Rent, Additional Rent or any other payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder as and when due and which shall continue for a period of ten (10) business days after written notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee; provided however, any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under the California Code of Civil Procedure or any other law, regulation or ordinance; or

 

(ii)               The failure by Lessee to observe or perform any non-monetary covenants, conditions or provisions of this lease to be observed or performed by Lessee, other than the aforementioned non-curable defaults, within thirty (30) days after Lessee has been given written notice of such failure.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessee cannot reasonably cure such default within thirty (30) days, Lessee shall not be in default hereunder so long as Lessee commences to cure the default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and in good faith pursues such cure to completion.

 

19



 

Lessors Default

 

Section 8.03.                             (a) Lessor shall be in default if it fails or refuses to perform any provision of this Lease that it is obligated to perform and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Lessee detailing such failure.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessor cannot reasonably cure such default within thirty (30) days, Lessor shall not be in default hereunder so long as Lessor commences to cure the default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and in good faith pursues such cure to completion.

 

(b)                                 If Lessor is in default hereunder, and as a consequence Lessee recovers a money judgment against Lessor, such judgment shall be satisfied only out of the proceeds of sale received on execution of the judgment and levy against the right, title, and interest of Lessor in the Premises, and out of rent or other income from such real property receivable by Lessor or out of the consideration received by Lessor from the sale or other disposition of all or any part of Lessor’s right, title, and interest in the Premises.  Neither Lessor, nor any partner, agent, officer, director or employee of Lessor shall be personally liable for any portion of such a judgment.

 

Abandonment

 

Section 8.04.                             If Lessee vacates or abandons the Premises, this Lease shall continue in effect unless and until expressly terminated by Lessor, and Lessor shall have all of the remedies provided by this Lease or by law, including without limitation, the right to maintain Lessee’s right to possession and to recover Rent as it becomes due hereunder.  Lessor shall not be deemed to have terminated this Lease other than by written notice of termination from Lessor.  At any time subsequent to vacation or abandonment of the Premises by Lessee, Lessor may give notice of termination and shall thereafter have all of the rights hereinafter set forth.

 

Termination

 

Section 8.05.                             Following the occurrence of any default, Lessor shall have the right, so long as the default continues, to terminate this Lease by written notice to Lessee setting forth:  (a) the default; (b) the requirements to cure it; and (c) a demand for possession, which shall be effective in accordance with the notice provisions specified in Section 9.04.

 

Possession

 

Section 8.06.                             Following termination under Section 8.05, without prejudice to any other remedies Lessor may have by reason of Lessee’s default or of such termination, Lessor may then or at any time thereafter, (a) peaceably re-enter the Premises, or any part thereof, upon voluntary surrender by Lessee, or expel or remove Lessee therefrom and any other persons occupying them, using such legal proceedings as are then available; (b) repossess and enjoy the Premises, or relet the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms, which may be for a term extending beyond the Term, at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Lessor in its sole discretion shall determine, with the right to make reasonable alterations and repairs to the Premises; and (c) remove all personal property therefrom.  Lessee hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future law in the event of Lessee’s being evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or in the event of Lessor’s obtaining

 

20



 

possession of the Premises, or by reason of the violation by Lessee of any of the items, covenants or conditions, of this Lease, or otherwise.

 

Recovery

 

Section 8.07.                             Following termination under Section 8.05, Lessor shall have all the rights and remedies of a Lessor provided by Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code.  The amount of damages which Lessor may recover following termination shall include:  (a) the worth at the time of the award of the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination; (b) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of the award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided; (c) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of rental loss Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; and (d) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all detriment proximately caused by Lessee’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease.  The “worth at the time of the award” of the amounts referred to in (a) and (b) above shall be computed by allowing interest at the maximum rate permitted by law.  The “worth at the time of the award” of the amount referred to in (c) above shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one (1%) percent.

 

Additional Remedies

 

Section 8.08.                             In addition to the foregoing remedies, Lessor shall, so long as this Lease is not terminated, have the right to remedy any default of Lessee, to maintain or improve the Premises without terminating this Lease, to incur expenses on behalf of Lessee in seeking a new sublessee, or to cause a receiver to be appointed to administer the Premises and new or existing subleases, and to add to the Rent payable hereunder all of Lessor’s reasonable costs in so doing, with interest at the maximum rate permitted by law.

 

Other

 

Section 8.09.                             If Lessee causes or threatens to cause a breach of any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions contained in this Lease, Lessor shall be entitled to retain all sums held by Lessor, by any trustee or in any account provided for herein, to enjoin such breach or threatened breach, and to invoke any right and remedy allowed at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise as though re-entry, summary proceedings and other remedies were not provided for in this Lease.

 

Cumulative

 

Section 8.10.                             Each right and remedy of Lessor provided for in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this Lease, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Lessor of any or all other rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing in law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.

 

21



 

No Waiver

 

Section 8.11.                             No failure by Lessor or Lessee to insist upon the strict performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial payment of Rent during the continuance of any such breach shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of any such term.  Efforts by Lessor to mitigate the damages caused by Lessee’s breach of this Lease shall not be construed to be a waiver of Lessor’s right to recover damages under this Article.  Nothing in this Article affects the right of Lessor to indemnification by Lessee for liability arising prior to the termination of this Lease for personal injuries or property damage.

 

Written Action

 

Section 8.12.                             No act or thing done by Lessor or its agents during the Term hereof shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a surrender of the premises shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by Lessor.  Neither the reference in this Lease to any particular remedy nor the pursuit of any particular remedy shall preclude Lessor from any other remedy Lessor might have, either at law or in equity.

 

Replacement of Statutory Notice Requirements

 

Section 8.13.                             When this Lease requires service of a notice, that notice shall replace rather than supplement any equivalent or similar statutory notice, including any notices required by Code of Civil Procedure section 1161 or any similar or successor statute.  When a statute requires service of a notice in a particular manner, service of that notice (or a similar notice required by this Lease) in the manner required by Section 9.04 shall replace and satisfy the statutory service-of-notice procedures, including those required by Code of Civil Procedure section 1162 or any similar or successor statute.

 

Continuation of Lease in Effect

 

Section 8.14.                             Lessor shall have the remedy described in Civil Code section 1951.4, which provides that, when a Lessee has the right to sublet or assign (subject only to reasonable limitations), the Lessor may continue the lease in effect after the Lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due.  Accordingly, if Lessor does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Lessee, Lessor may enforce all of Lessor’s rights and remedies under this Lease, including the night to recover all Rent as it becomes due.

 

Efforts To Relet

 

Section 8.15.                             For purposes of this Article 8, Lessee’s right to possession shall not be considered to have been terminated by Lessor’s efforts to relet the Premises, by Lessor’s acts of maintenance or preservation with respect to the Premises, or by appointment of a receiver to protect Lessor’s interests under this Lease.  This list is merely illustrative of acts that may be performed by Lessor without terminating Lessee’s right to possession.

 

22


 

ARTICLE 9.  MISCELLANEOUS

 

Force Majeure - Unavoidable Delays

 

Section 9.01.                             Should the performance of any act required by this Lease to be performed by either Lessor or Lessee be prevented or delayed by reason of an act of God, strike, lockout, labor troubles, inability to secure materials, restrictive governmental laws or regulations, or any other cause except financial inability, not the fault of the party required to perform the act, the time for performance of the act will be extended for a period equivalent to the period of delay and performance of the act during the period of delay will be excused; provided, however, that nothing contained in this section shall excuse the prompt payment of rent or other sums by Lessee as required by this Lease or the performance of any act rendered difficult solely because of the financial condition of the party, Lessor or Lessee, required to perform the act.

 

Attorney’s Fees

 

Section 9.02.                             (a) Should any litigation be commenced between the parties to this Lease concerning the Premises, this Lease, or the rights and duties of either in relation thereto, the party, Lessor or Lessee, prevailing in such litigation shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted in the litigation, to a reasonable sum as and for his attorney’s fees in such litigation which shall be determined by the court in such litigation or in a separate action brought for that purpose.

 

(b)                                 If Lessor is made a party defendant to any litigation concerning this Lease or the leased Premises or the occupancy thereof by Lessee, then Lessee shall hold Lessor harmless from all liability by reason of said litigation, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses incurred by Lessor in any such litigation, whether or not any such litigation is prosecuted to judgment, provided however, it is agreed between Lessor and Lessee that if the litigation referred to in this Section arises out of no act, fault, or negligence of the Lessee, there shall be no obligation on the part of Lessee to hold harmless the Lessor from said litigation.

 

(c)                                  If Lessee breaches any term of this Lease, Lessor may employ an attorney or attorneys to protect Lessor’s rights hereunder, and in the event of such employment following any breach by Lessee, Lessee shall pay Lessor reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses incurred by Lessor, whether or not an action is actually commenced against Lessee by reason of said breach.

Notices

 

Section 9.04.                             All notices to be given to Lessee shall be given in writing personally or by depositing the same in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to Lessee at the Premises, whether or not Lessee has departed from, abandoned or vacated the Premises.  All notices to be given to Lessor shall be given in writing personally or by depositing the same in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to the Lessor at 316 South Stratford Avenue, Santa Maria, CA, 93454, or such other place or places as may be designated from time to time by Lessor.

24



 

Binding on Heirs and Successors

 

Section 9.06.                             This Lease shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns of the parties hereto, Lessor and Lessee, but nothing in this section contained shall be construed as a consent by Lessor to any assignment of this Lease or any interest therein by Lessee except as provided in Article 8 of this Lease.

 

Partial Invalidity

 

Section 9.07.                             Should any provision of this Lease be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be either invalid, void, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect unimpaired by the holding.

 

Sole and Only Agreement

 

Section 9.08.                             This instrument constitutes the sole and only agreement between Lessor and Lessee respecting the Premises, the leasing of the Premises to Lessee, or the lease term herein specified, and correctly sets for the obligations of Lessor and Lessee to each other as of its date.  Any agreements or representations respecting the Premises or their leasing by Lessor to Lessee not expressly set forth in this instrument are null and void.

 

Waiver

 

Section 9.09.                             The waiver by Lessor of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition on any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained.  The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease other than the failure of the Lessee to pay the particular rental so accepted, regardless of Lessor’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of the acceptance of such rent.

 

Subordination and Non-Disturbance

 

Section 9.10.                             (a) This Lease is subject and subordinate to all mortgages and deeds of trust which may hereafter be placed and recorded on the property of which the Premises are a part and to all renewals, modifications, replacements, and extensions thereof.

(i)                  For each mortgage or deed of trust, Lessor shall obtain from the mortgagee or beneficiary a non-disturbance agreement in writing that, in the event of foreclosure, or any sale thereunder, this Lease shall not be terminated and Lessee’s right to possession under this Lease shall not be disturbed, provided Lessee is not then in default under this Lease;

 

(ii)               In consideration of the mortgagee’s or beneficiary’s agreement not to disturb Lessee’s possession as above provided, Lessee hereby agrees to attorn to the purchaser at any foreclosure, sale or other action or proceeding.

 

25



 

(iii)            The subordination described in this section shall be effective without the necessity of having any further instruments executed by Lessee, but Lessee agrees to execute on demand any such further instruments evidencing subordination that Lessor or any mortgagee or beneficiary may reasonably request.

 

Time of Essence

 

Section 9.11.                             Time is expressly declared to be the essence of this Lease.

 

Accord and Satisfaction

 

Section 9.12.                             No payment by Lessee or receipt by Lessor of a lesser amount than the monthly rent stipulated herein or any other sum due hereunder from Lessee to Lessor shall be deemed to be anything other than a payment on account of the earliest sum then due and owing to Lessor.  No endorsement or statement on any check of any letter accompanying any check or payment or payment of any sum(s) due from Lessee to Lessor hereunder shall be deemed to be an accord and satisfaction, and Lessor may accept and negotiate any such payment without prejudice to Lessor’s right to recover the balance of such rent or other sum or to pursue any other remedy provided for in this Lease or by law.

 

Right of First Refusal to Purchase Leased Premises

 

Section 9.13.                             (a) If at any time during the term of this Lease Lessor receives from any third party a bona fide offer to purchase the Premises at a price and on terms acceptable to Lessor, Lessor shall give written notice of the offer to Lessee.  Within thirty (30) days after Lessor gives Lessee written notice of the third-party offer, Lessee shall have the right to purchase the Premises at the same price and on the same terms and conditions set forth in the third-party offer.  To exercise its right, Lessee must, within the same thirty (30) day period, deposit in escrow with any title company in Monterey County, California, all moneys and instruments required by the terms of the offer to be paid or delivered to Lessor on close of escrow and shall also give Lessor written notice of the deposit.  In the event Lessee fails to exercise the option to purchase in accordance with the provisions of this Section, Lessor may sell the Premises to the third party making the offer on the same terms and conditions set forth in that offer.  If for any reason the Premises are not sold to the party making the offer, Lessor shall give Lessee the same right to purchase the Premises on receiving any subsequent offer from any third party that is acceptable to Lessor.

 

(b)                                 Lessee may not assign the rights granted under this section either separately or together with a transfer of Lessee’s leasehold interest, and any purported assignment shall be null and void.

 

(c)                                  If this property is sold to any third party during the term of this Lease, then the provisions of this section shall thereafter be of no further force or effect.

 

Bankruptcy

 

Section 9.14.                             Should a petition in bankruptcy be filed by the Lessee, or should Lessee, during the term hereof, become insolvent or make any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or

 

26



 

be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent by any Court, or should a receiver or trustee in bankruptcy be appointed over the business, property and assets of the Lessee, and the Premises herein lease, or take charge of the Premises herein demised, or should this lease, by operation of law, devolve upon or pass to any person or persons other than the Lessee, then upon any of such events, the Lessor may, at its option, re-enter and take possession of these Premises herein leased and remove all persons therefrom and terminate the Lease.

 

Estoppel Certificate

 

Section 9.15.                             Within ten (10) days following any written request which Lessor may make from time to time, Lessee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor a statement certifying:  (a) the date of commencement of this Lease; (b) the fact that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or, if there have been modifications hereto, that this Lease is in full force and effect, and stating the date and nature of such modifications; (c) the date to which the Rent and other sums payable under this Lease have been paid; (d) that there are no current defaults under this Lease by either Lessor or Lessee except as specified in Lessee’s statement; and (e) any other information Lessor may reasonably require.  Lessor and Lessee intend that any statement delivered pursuant to this Section may be relied upon by any encumbrancer, ground Lessee, beneficiary, purchaser or prospective purchaser of the Property or any interest therein, as well as any of their assigns.

 

Transfer Of Lessor’s Interest

 

Section 9.16.                             Lessor has the right to transfer all or part of its interest in the Building and Real Property and in this Lease.  On such a transfer, Lessor shall automatically be released from all liability accruing under this Lease, and Lessee shall look solely to that transferee for the performance of Lessor’s obligations under this Lease after the date of transfer.  Lessor may assign its interest in this Lease to a mortgage lender as additional security.  This assignment shall not release Lessor from its obligations under this Lease, and Lessee shall continue to look to Lessor for the performance of its obligations under this Lease.

 

Liability Of The Lessor

 

Section 9.17.                             Except as otherwise provided in this Lease or applicable law, for any breach of this Lease the liability of Lessor (including all persons and entities that comprise Lessor, and any successor Lessor) and any recourse by Lessee against Lessor shall be limited to the interest of Lessor and Lessor’s successors in interest in and to the Building and Real Property.  On behalf of itself and all persons claiming by, through, or under Lessee, Lessee expressly waives and releases Lessor from any personal liability for breach of this Lease.

Exhibit 10.40

 

LEASE AGREEMENT

 

BY THIS LEASE dated February 1, 2001, VENTURA BUILDING PARTNERSHIP, a California general partnership, herein called “Lessor,” leases to COASTAL RADIATION ONCOLOGY MEDICAL GROUP, INC., a California corporation, herein called “Lessee,” that certain real property, herein called “the Premises,” in the City of Ventura, County of Ventura, State of California, commonly known as 2841 Cabrillo Drive, Ventura, California, and more particularly described in Exhibit A, attached hereto.

 

ARTICLE 1.  TERM OF LEASE

 

Original Term

 

Section 1.01.          This Lease shall be for a term of fifteen (15) years, commencing on February 1, 2001, and ending on January 31, 2016.

 

Extended Term

 

Section 1.02.          Should Lessee perform all the terms and conditions of this Lease and provided Lessee is not then in default under the terms of this Lease, Lessee may extend this Lease for two (2) additional, separate terms of ten (10) years each, commencing on expiration of the preceding term, by giving Lessor written notice of Lessee’s desire to extend the term hereof not less than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to expiration of the preceding term.  This option to extend the term of this Lease is personal to Lessee and may not be transferred by Lessee without Lessor’s prior written consent.

 

Hold Over

 

Section 1.03.          Should Lessee hold over and continue in possession of the Premises after expiration of the term of this Lease or any extension thereof, Lessee’s continued occupancy of the Premises shall be considered a month-to-month tenancy subject to all the terms and conditions of this Lease, except that the base rent shall be in an amount equal to 100% of the last monthly rent.  If Lessee fails to surrender the Premises upon the expiration of this Lease, Lessee shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from all loss or liability, including without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded on or resulting from such failure to surrender.

 

ARTICLE 2.  RENT

 

Base Rent

 

Section 2.01.          For the first year of the term hereof, Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor a fixed rental for the use and occupancy of the Premises of Nineteen Thousand One Hundred Fifty Dollars ($19,150.00) per month, payable on the first (1st) day of each and every calendar month commencing on February 1, 2001, at 316 S.  Stratford Avenue, Santa Maria, CA 93454, or at such other place or places as Lessor may from time to time designate by written notice delivered to Lessee.

 

1



 

Rent Adjustment

 

Section 2.02.          The Base Rent provided for in Section 2.01 above shall be increased by three percent (3%) one year after the commencement of the term hereof and annually thereafter on the same date each calendar year until November 1, 2001.  Commencing on November 1, 2001 the Base Rent shall be reduced to Fourteen Thousand Forty One Dollars ($14,041.00) per month.  On November 1 of each calendar year thereafter, including any exercised options to extend (“the adjustment date”) the Base Rent shall be adjusted by three percent (3%) per year.

 

Base Rent for Extension Terms

 

(a)           In the event Lessee timely exercises its option to extend the lease term under Section 1.02 above, then within fifteen (15) days of Lessee’s written notice to Lessor of Lessee’s exercise of such option, Lessor and Lessee shall meet to establish the Base Rent for the first year of the Extension Term (“Rent Meeting”).  The Base Rent per square foot of leaseable area in the Premises for the first year of each extension term shall be the fair market rental value of the Premises, determined in accordance with the following formula:

 

Vault Sq. Ft. X (Market Rent x 2.67) + Medical Sq. Ft X (Market Rent)
(divided by) total leaseable square footage

 

= Base Rent per square foot

 

As used in the above formula, “Vault Sq. Ft.” means the total square footage of the treatment vaults, other than any treatment vaults added at the Lessee’s cost and expense.  “Market Rent” is the current fair market rent per square foot for medical office space in the City of Ventura, California on a triple net basis.  This space will be leased (not subleased) and will be comparable in size, location and quality to the Premises.  “Medical Sq. Ft” refers to all leaseable space in the Premises other than Vault Sq. Ft. “Total leaseable square footage” shall be the total leaseable square footage in the Premises determined by survey.

 

In the event that the parties cannot agree on the Market Rent for the first year of an extension term, then within ten (10) days after the Rent Meeting, Lessor and Lessee shall each specify in writing to the other party its determination of such Market Rent Rate.  If either party fails to submit its written determination in accordance with this Section, the Base Rent for the extension term shall be the determination submitted by the other party.

 

(b)           Within ten (10) days after the parties have exchanged written determinations, Lessor and Lessee shall mutually select three commercial realtors within the City of Ventura to determine the Market Rent.  Each such realtor shall (i) be disinterested; (ii) be qualified to determine the fair market rental rates for real estate similar to the Premises; and (iii) have been actively engaged in the leasing of comparable medical space in the City of Ventura for a period of not less than five (5) continuous years immediately preceding his or her appointment.  If Lessor and Lessee are unable to mutually select three such commercial realtors, then either party, on behalf of both, may request such appointment by the President of the local chapter of the California Realtors Association.  If such Association is not then in existence, either party, on behalf of both, may request such appointment by the presiding judge of the Superior Court of the Judicial District in which the property is located.  Each such realtor shall submit their respective

 

2



 

determinations of Market Rent for the area in writing to both parties and shall provide the basis for such determination.

 

(c)           The average of the three written determinations of Market Rent prepared by the realtors so selected shall be utilized to determine the Base Rent of the Premises for the initial year of the extension term.  The costs of the three realtors’ services shall be shared equally by the parties.  The decision of the realtors shall be binding upon the Lessor and Lessee.

 

(d)           In the event that the parties have not agreed on the Market Rent or the realtors have not been selected and the Market Rent determined before the commencement of the extension term, Lessee shall continue to pay the same lease rate in effect at the end of the lease year immediately preceding the commencement of the extension term.  Lessee shall pay such sum as Base Rent until the initial Base Rent for the extension term is determined, at which time Lessee shall promptly pay Lessor any additional rent due by reason of any increase in the Base Rent during the extension term over the Base Rent previously paid by Lessee.  If the Base Rent actually paid by Lessee during this period is ultimately determined to be more than the revised Base Rent as finally determined as above provided, any such over payment shall constitute a credit against the revised Base Rent, and that credit shall be applied to the following month or months until such credit is exhausted.

 

(e)           The Base Rent as above determined shall be subject to increase at the end of the first lease year of the extension term in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02 above.

 

Taxes, Utilities and Operating Expenses as Additional Rent

 

Section 2.03.          In addition to the rent specified in Sections 2.01 and 2.02 above, Lessee shall pay, as additional rent, all Utilities, Insurance, Personal and Real Property Taxes and Operating Expenses directly to the vendor or creditor for such items, or otherwise as set forth in this Section 2.03.  If Lessee fails to pay any such amount, Lessor may in its sole discretion, advance monies to pay such items, and demand reimbursement in full from Lessee (referred to as additional rent” herein), including without limitation any cost, expense, assessment or charge, as well as interest as provided in this Lease.

 

Utilities

 

(a)           Lessee shall pay, and hold Lessor and the property of Lessor including the Premises, free and harmless from, all charges for the furnishing of gas, water, sewer, electricity, telephone service, garbage and trash removal and other public utilities during the entire term of this Lease or any extension thereof.  All such charges shall be paid by Lessee directly to the provider of the service and shall be paid as they become due and payable but in any event before delinquency.

 

Lessee agrees that Lessor shall not be liable for damages, by abatement of Rent or otherwise, for failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any service (including telephone and telecommunication services) or for diminution in the quality or quantity of any service when the failure, delay, or diminution is entirely or partially caused by:

 

(i)            Breakage repairs, replacements, or improvements;

 

3



 

(ii)           Strike, lockout, or other labor trouble;

 

(iii)                               Inability to secure electricity, gas, water, or other fuel at the Building after reasonable effort to do so;

 

(iv)          Accident or casualty;

 

(v)           Act or default of Lessee or other parties; or

 

(vi)          Any other cause beyond Lessor’s reasonable control.

 

Such failure, delay, or diminution shall not be considered to constitute an eviction or a disturbance of Lessee’s use and possession of the Premises or relieve Lessee from paying rent or performing any of its obligations under this Lease.  Lessor shall not be liable under any circumstances for a loss of or injury to property or for injury to or interference with Lessee’s business, including loss of profits through, in connection with, or incidental to a failure to furnish any of the utilities or services under this Section 2.03.  Lessor may comply with mandatory or voluntary controls or guidelines promulgated by any government entity relating to the use or conservation of energy, water, gas, light, or electricity or the reduction of automobile or other emissions without creating any liability of Lessor to Lessee under this Lease as long as compliance with voluntary controls or guidelines does not materially and unreasonably interfere with Lessee’s use of the Premises.

 

Personal Property Taxes

 

(b)           Lessee shall pay before they become delinquent all taxes, assessments and other charges levied or imposed by any governmental entity on the furniture, trade fixtures, equipment and other personal property placed by Lessee in, on or about the Premises.

 

Real Property Taxes

 

(c)           Lessee shall pay all real property taxes and general and special assessments on the Premises, including any increases in such taxes and assessments, before they become delinquent.

 

The real property taxes and assessments levied against the Premises for the first and last years of the term hereof shall be prorated between Lessor and Lessee for purposes of this section as of 12:01 A.M.  on the date of commencement and termination respectively of this Lease.

 

Lessee shall have the right, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, to protest or contest in good faith the amount of any tax or assessment.  As a condition precedent to Lessee’s right to protest such taxes or assessments, Lessee shall either pay the disputed amount and file for refund or deposit with Lessor the disputed amount plus one (1) years interest at the rate then charged by said county plus any estimated penalty which Lessor may incur by non-payment.  Upon such payment or deposit, Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee in prosecuting such dispute.

 

4



 

Operating Expenses

 

(d)           Lessee shall pay all Operating Expenses attributable to the occupation and use of the Premises.

 

The term “Operating Expenses” as used in this Lease shall mean all expenses, costs and fees attributable to Lessee’s use and occupancy of the Premises under this Lease, including but not limited to:

 

(i)            Miscellaneous operating costs, maintenance, security services, replacement for normal wear and tear, repair, re-striping and resurfacing of paving, insurance (including public liability and property damage, rent continuation, boiler and machinery and extended coverage insurance), and cleaning of the Premises and all parts thereof and all furnishings, fixtures and equipment therein.  The term “Operating Expenses” shall include the annual amortization of costs (including financing at the then prevailing rate, if any) of any improvements, equipment, or devices required by any governmental authority or incurred as a labor saving measure or to reduce operation or maintenance expenses with respect to the Premises where such costs are amortized over the useful life thereof.

 

(ii)           Operating Expenses shall also include licenses, permits, charges and assessments which are levied, assessed, imposed or collected by any governmental authority or improvement or assessment district during any calendar year with respect to the Premises and Lessee’s use and occupancy of the Premises and the land on which the premises are located, and any improvements, fixtures, equipment and other property of Lessor, real or personal, used in connection with the operation or maintenance of the Premises (computed on a cash basis or as if paid in permitted installments regardless of whether actually so paid), as well as any tax which shall be levied or assessed in addition to or in lieu of any tax described in Sections 2.03 (b) or (c) above (it being acknowledged that because of the passage of laws which limit increases in property taxes, government agencies may impose fees, charges, assessments or other levies in connection with services previously furnished without charge or at a lesser charge and which were previously paid for in whole or in part, directly or indirectly by real property taxes), any gross excise tax or other similar tax, and any costs or expenses of contesting any such taxes, licenses, charges or assessments, but excluding any federal or state income or gift tax or any franchise, capital stock, estate or Inheritance taxes.

 

Late Charges

 

Section 2.04.          If any installment of rent or other payment required to be paid by Lessee to Lessor is not paid within ten (10) days of the date on which it is due, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the late payment shall be due from Lessee to Lessor to compensate Lessor for the additional administrative work caused by such default and to compensate Lessor for the loss of use of such defaulted payment.  The late charge herein shall be in addition to any other remedy which Lessor may have hereunder for such default.

 

5



 

Interest on Late Payments

 

Section 2.05.          If any payment required to be paid by Lessee to Lessor is not paid within ten (10) days of the date on which it is due, such payment shall bear interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date it became due until it is paid by Lessee to Lessor.

 

ARTICLE 3.  USE OF PREMISES

 

Permitted Use

 

Section 3.01.          The Premises shall, during the term of this Lease and any extensions thereof, be used for conducting a medical and radiation oncology business, for related activities and for no other purpose without the prior written consent of Lessor.

Waste or Nuisance

 

Section 3.03.          Lessee shall not commit or permit the commission by others of any waste on the Premises; Lessee shall not maintain, commit, or permit the maintenance or commission of any nuisance as defined in Section 3479 of the California Civil Code on the Premises; and Lessee shall not use or permit the use of the Premises for any unlawful purpose.

 

Hazardous Materials

 

Section 3.04.          Lessee warrants and represents that during the term hereof, and any extensions thereof, Lessee shall not use the Premises in any manner that would be in violation of any federal, state or local law, ordinance or regulation relating to environmental conditions on, under or about the Premises, including but not limited to soil and groundwater conditions.  Lessee shall not use, generate, manufacture, produce, store or dispose of on, under or about the Premises any hazardous materials, including without limitation, flammable materials, explosives, asbestos, radioactive materials, hazardous wastes, toxic substances or related injurious materials, whether injurious by themselves or in combination with other materials, other than such materials as may be necessary for Lessee’s normal operations on the Premises.  Lessee shall not dispose of or permit the disposal of any hazardous materials into the sewer system serving the Premises.

 

As used in this Section 3.04, the term “Hazardous Material” shall mean any hazardous or toxic substance, material, or waste at any concentration that is or becomes regulated by the United States, the State of California, or any local government authority having jurisdiction over the Building.  Hazardous Material includes:

(a)           Any “hazardous substance,” as that term is defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) (42 United States Code sections 9601-9675);

 

(b)           “Hazardous waste,” as that term is defined in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA) (42 United States Code sections 6901-6992k);

 

(c)           Any pollutant, contaminant, or hazardous, dangerous, or toxic chemical, material, or substance, within the meaning of any other applicable federal, state or local law, regulation, ordinance, or requirement (including consent decrees and administrative orders imposing liability or standards of conduct concerning any hazardous, dangerous, or toxic waste, substance, or material, now or hereafter in effect);

 

(d)           Petroleum products;

 

(e)           Radioactive material, including any source, special nuclear, or byproduct material as defined in 42 United States Code sections 2011-2297g-4;

 

(f)            Asbestos in any form or condition; and

 

(g)           Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and substances or compounds containing PCBs.

 

If, during the Lease Term (including any extensions), Lessee becomes aware of (i) any actual or threatened release of any Hazardous Material on, under, or about the Premises or the Building or (ii) any inquiry, investigation, proceeding, or claim by any government agency or other person regarding the presence of Hazardous Material on, under, or about the Premises or the Building, Lessee shall give Lessor written notice of the release or investigation within five (5) days after learning of it and shall simultaneously furnish to Lessor copies of any claims, notices of violation, reports, or other writings received by Lessee that concern the release or investigation.

 

Lessee shall, at Lessee’s sole expense and with counsel reasonably acceptable to Lessor, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lessor and Lessor’s shareholders, directors, officers, employees, partners, affiliates, agents, successors, and assigns with respect to all losses arising out of or resulting from the release of any Hazardous Material in or about the Premises or the Building, or the violation of any Environmental Law, by Lessee or Lessee’s agents, assignees, sublessees, contractors, or invitees.  This indemnification applies whether or not the concentrations of any such Hazardous Material is material, the concentrations exceed state or federal maximum contaminant or action levels, or any governmental agency has issued a cleanup order.  This indemnification includes:

 

(1)           Losses attributable to diminution in the value of the Premises or the Building;

 

(2)           Loss or restriction of use of rentable space in the Building;

This indemnification shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

 

If the presence of any Hazardous Material brought onto the Premises or the Building by Lessee or Lessee’s employees, agents, contractors, or invitees results in contamination of the Building, Lessee shall promptly take all necessary actions to remove or remediate such Hazardous Materials, whether or not they are present at concentrations exceeding state or federal maximum concentration or action levels, or any governmental agency has issued a cleanup order, at Lessee’s sole expense, to return the Premises or the Building to the condition that existed before the introduction of such Hazardous Material.  Lessee shall first obtain Lessor’s approval of the proposed removal or remedial action.  This provision does not limit the indemnification obligation set forth in Section 3.04.

 

Compliance With Law

 

Section 3.05.          Lessee shall at Lessee’s own cost and expense comply with all statues, ordinances, regulations, existing use permits and requirements of all governmental entities, both federal and state and county or municipal, relating to Lessee’s use and occupancy of the Premises whether such statutes, ordinances, regulations, and requirements be now in force or hereinafter enacted.  The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction, or the admission by Lessee in a proceeding brought against Lessee by any government entity, that Lessee has violated any such statute, ordinance, regulation, or requirement shall be conclusive as between Lessor and Lessee and shall be grounds for termination of this Lease by Lessor.  Lessor agrees that any requirements of the Municipal, State, or Federal authorities which require alteration of Lessor’s building shall not be the responsibility of Lessee, unless required because of an act of Lessee or a use of the Premises by Lessee.

 

ARTICLE 4.  ALTERATIONS AND REPAIRS

 

Maintenance

 

Section 4.01.          Lessee shall at his own cost and expense keep and maintain all portions of the Premises as well as all improvements on the Premises and all facilities appurtenant to the Premises, including but not limited to electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning, sewage systems, roof and outer walls in good order and repair and in as safe and clean a condition as they were when received by Lessee from Lessor, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

 

Should Lessee fail to maintain the Premises as set forth above, Lessor may, at Lessor’s option, perform or contract for the performance of such maintenance for and on behalf of Lessee.  In such event, Lessee shall promptly on written demand of Lessor reimburse Lessor for all cost and expense incurred by Lessor in performing Lessee’s obligations hereunder plus interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date expended by Lessor to the date of repayment by Lessee.

Alterations and Liens

 

Section 4.02.          Lessor and Lessee agree that from time to time during the term of this Lease, Lessee may desire alterations, changes and additions in and to the interior of the Premises and to the Building that are necessary or convenient to the operation of its business at the Premises.

 

Non-structural Changes

 

(a)           Lessee may, at its own expense, make nonstructural changes to the interior of the Premises (e.g.  revisions to interior decor, carpeting, painting, wall covering, etc.) provided that the value of the Premises shall not be diminished thereby.  Further provided, that any non-structural changes exceeding $5,000 in total cost must first be approved by the Lessor prior to commencement of such changes.

 

Structural Changes

 

(b)           If Lessee desires either (i) interior changes to the Premises of a structural nature (e.g.  relocating interior walls); or (ii) changes to the facade or exterior walls or roof, or (iii) desires the addition of square footage to the Premises (i.e.  addition of Medical square footage or Vault square footage) then Lessee shall submit detailed plans and specifications for any proposed alteration or improvement to the Premises for Lessor’s review and approval.  The Lessor shall have the option to approve or deny the request for structural changes in writing within 30 (thirty) days of receipt of such request, in the reasonable discretion of the Lessor.  The failure of the Lessor to disapprove or object to such plans and specifications or any substantial changes therein within said thirty (30) days, shall constitute Lessor’s disapproval of the same.  Subsequent to such approval, minor changes in work or materials not affecting the general character of the improvements need not be approved by Lessor but a copy of the altered plans and specifications reflecting such changes must be promptly given to Lessor.  If approved, the Lessor shall have the option to pay for the changes, or not, in its sole discretion.  If the Lessor chooses to pay for the changes, then the parties shall meet immediately to negotiate an adjustment to the Base Rent to go into effect at the completion of the alterations.  If the Lessor chooses not to pay for the alterations, the Lessee has the option to proceed with the alterations, in its sole discretion and at its expense, without paying any amount of rent for the added square footage for the remaining Original Term, only the expenses attributable to the additional space.

 

Supervision of Alterations

 

(c)           All structural changes to the Premises involving load bearing walls which require Lessor’s approval shall be made under the supervision of a licensed architect or licensed structural engineer in accordance with the detailed plans and specifications submitted to Lessor as above provided.

 

Notices of Non-Responsibility

 

(d)           Lessee shall provide Lessor with at least twenty (20) days written notice prior to commencing any alteration, addition or change to the Premises requiring Lessor’s approval and

 

9



 

Lessor shall have the right to enter the Premises to post Notices of Non-Responsibility as provided by law.

 

Quality of Work; Ownership

 

(e)           All work with respect to any alteration, addition or change must be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and diligently prosecuted to completion to the end that the Premises shall at all times be a complete unit, except during the period of work.  Furthermore, any and all alterations, additions, improvements, and fixtures, except furniture and trade fixtures, made or placed in or on the Premises by Lessee or any other person shall on expiration or sooner termination of this Lease become the property of Lessor and remain on the Premises; provided, however, that Lessor shall have the option on expiration or sooner termination of this Lease of requiring Lessee, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, to remove any or all such alterations, additions, improvements, or fixtures from the Premises (excluding vaults).  All such changes, alterations, and improvements shall be performed and completed strictly in accordance with the laws and ordinances relating thereto, and in such a manner as not to impede access to the Premises.

 

Lessee shall not be the cause or object of any liens or allow such liens to exist, attach to, be placed on, or encumber Lessor’s or Lessee’s interest in the Premises, Building, or Real Property by operation of law or otherwise.  Lessee shall not suffer or permit any lien of mechanics, material suppliers, or others to be placed against the Premises, with respect to work or services performed or claimed to have been furnished to Lessee or the Premises.  If any such lien attaches or Lessee receives notice of any such lien, Lessee shall cause the lien to be immediately released and removed of record.  Despite any other provision of this Lease, if the lien is not released and removed within 10 (ten) days after Lessor delivers notice of the lien to Lessee, Lessor may immediately take all action necessary to release and remove the lien, without any duty to investigate the validity of it.  All expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred by Lessor in connection with the lien shall be considered additional rent under this Lease and be immediately due and payable by Lessee.

 

Additional Requirements

 

(f)            If Lessee pays for the changes, the following provisions shall apply to such changes:

 

(i)            The exterior of the improvements shall be compatible with the design and appearance of the Premises as it exists at the time of execution of this Lease.

 

(ii)           All work required in the construction of the structural changes, including any site preparation work, utility installations as well as actual construction shall be performed only pursuant to a contract entered into by Lessee with a competent general contractor and sub-contractors duly licensed as such under the Laws of the State of California, with proof of adequate liability and workers compensation insurance.

 

(iii)          The approval by Lessor of any plans and specifications under this paragraph refers only to the conformity of such plans and specifications to the general architectural plan for the Building.  By approving such plans and specifications, Lessor assumes

 

10



 

no liability or responsibility therefor and for any defect in any structure constructed from such plans or specifications.

 

Inspection by Lessor

 

Section 4.03.          Lessee shall permit Lessor or his agents to enter into and upon the Premises during business hours for the purpose of inspecting the same, or for the purpose of posting notices of non-responsibility for alterations, additions or repairs or for the purpose of placing upon the property in which the Premises are located any usual or ordinary “for sale” signs, without any rebate of rent and without any liability to Lessee for any loss of occupation or quiet enjoyment of the Premises thereby occasioned.  Lessee shall permit Lessor, at any time within one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of this Lease, to place upon the Premises any usual or ordinary “to let” or “to lease” signs, provided that such entries made by Lessor hereunder shall not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Lessee’s business.

 

Surrender of Premises

 

Section 4.04.          On expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, or any extensions or renewals of this Lease, Lessee shall promptly surrender and deliver the Premises to Lessor in as good condition as they are on at the date of possession, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

 

ARTICLE 5.  INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE

 

Hold-Harmless Clause

 

Section 5.01.          To the fullest extent permitted by law, Lessee, on its behalf and on behalf of its successors and assignees, waives all claims (in law, equity, or otherwise) against Lessor, its officers, directors, principals, agents, successors, assignees and agent arising out of, knowingly and voluntarily assumes the risk of, and agrees that Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for any of the following acts or failure to act set forth in paragraphs (a) to (c) below.  Lessor shall not be liable under this clause regardless of whether the liability results from any active or passive act, error, omission, or negligence of any of the Lessor; or is based on claims in which liability without fault or strict liability is imposed or sought to be imposed on any of the Lessor.  This exculpation clause shall not apply to claims against Lessor to the extent that a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction establishes that the injury, loss, damage, or destruction was proximately caused by Lessor’s fraud, willful injury to person or property, or violation of law.

 

(a)           The death or injury of any person or persons, including Lessee or any person who is an employee or agent of Lessee, or by reason of the damage to or destruction of any property, including property owned by Lessee or any person who is an employee or agent of Lessee, and caused or allegedly caused by either the condition of the Premises, or some act or omission of Lessee or of some agent, contractor, employee, servant, sublessee, or concessionaire of Lessee on the Premises;

 

(b)           Any work performed on the Premises or materials furnished to the Premises at the instance or request of Lessee or any agent or employee of Lessee;

 

11



 

(c)           Lessee’s failure to perform any provision of this Lease or to comply with any requirement imposed on Lessee or the leased Premises by any duly authorized governmental agency or political subdivision.

 

Liability Insurance

 

Section 5.02.          Lessee shall, at its own cost and expense, obtain and maintain during the entire term of this Lease and any renewals or extensions thereof, a broad form comprehensive coverage policy of public liability insurance issued by an insurance company or companies rated by Best as A+ or better and authorized to conduct insurance business in the State of California and insuring Lessee and Lessor against loss or liability caused by or connected with Lessee’s occupation and use of the Premises under this Lease in amounts not less than:

 

(a)           $1,000,000,00 combined single limit for injury to or death as a result of any accident or incident.

 

(b)           $2,000,000.00 for damage to or destruction of any property of others.

 

Such public liability insurance, and property damage insurance shall insure performance by Lessee of the indemnity provisions of Section 5.01 above.  Both parties shall be named as co-insured, and the policy shall contain cross liability endorsements, if available.  The policy shall be primary insurance for all claims under it and provide that any insurance carried by Lessor is strictly excess, secondary, and noncontributing with any insurance carried by Lessee.  Lessee may provide such insurance under a single policy or under one or more separate policies.

 

Every three (3) years, Lessor may increase the amount of public liability and property damage insurance coverage required hereunder, if at that time the existing coverage is not adequate in the opinion of Lessor’s insurance broker or lender(s).

 

Fire and Casualty Insurance

 

Section 5.03.          Lessee shall, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, at all times during the term hereof, and any extensions thereof, keep all buildings, improvements and other structures on the Premises insured for their full replacement cost against loss or destruction by fire and the perils, including vandalism and malicious mischief, commonly covered under standard extended coverage endorsements in Ventura County, California.  Lessor shall be named as an additional insured on all such policies and the policies shall contain a cross-liability endorsement.

 

“Full replacement cost” as used herein shall mean the actual cost of replacement for the buildings and other improvements on the Premises, as determined from time to time by Lessor.  Upon notification to Lessee in writing of Lessor’s determination of full replacement cost, Lessee shall, within thirty (30) days of such written notice, increase the amount of the insurance carried to the amount stated in the notice.

 

Business Interruption Insurance

 

Section 5.04.          Lessee shall, at all times during the term of this Lease and any extensions thereof, maintain at Lessee’s sole cost and expense a policy of business interruption insurance,

 

12



 

ensuring the rent provided for in this Lease will be paid to Lessor for a period not less than one (1) year in the event the Premises are destroyed or damaged so as to render operation of Lessee’s business impossible or impractical by any casualty insured against by standard fire and extended coverage insurance.

 

Lessee’s Personal Property

 

Section 5.05.          Lessee shall, at all times during the term of this Lease and any extensions thereof, maintain at Lessee’s sole cost and expense an insurance policy issued by a company acceptable to Lessor insuring for their full insurable value all furniture, fixtures, equipment and alterations or improvements made to the Premises by Lessee against loss or destruction by fire and the perils commonly covered under the standard extended coverage endorsement to fire insurance policies in Ventura County.  Any loss payable under such insurance shall be payable to Lessee and shall be used to repair or replace such furniture, fixtures, equipment and alterations and improvements.

 

Cancellation Clause

 

Section 5.06.          Any policy of insurance required to be obtained and maintained by Lessee under this Article shall be written by insurance companies authorized to do business in the State of California.  Each such policy of insurance shall expressly provide that it cannot be cancelled for any reason or altered in any manner unless at least thirty (30) days prior written notice has been given to Lessor by the insurance company.

 

Deposit of Insurance with Lessor

 

Section 5.07.          Lessee shall, prior to taking possession of the Premises and promptly thereafter when any such policy is replaced, rewritten, or renewed, deliver to Lessor a true and correct copy of each insurance policy required by this Article of this Lease or a certificate executed by the insurance company or companies or their authorized agent evidencing such policy or policies.

 

Lessor’s Right to Procure Insurance

 

Section 5.08.          If at any time Lessee fails to procure or maintain the insurance required by this Article, Lessor may obtain that insurance and pay the premiums on it for the benefit of Lessee.  Any amounts paid by Lessor to procure or maintain insurance pursuant to this section shall be immediately due and repayable to Lessor by Lessee with the next then due installment of rent under this Lease.  Failure to repay at that time any amount expended by Lessor shall be considered the same as a failure to pay rent and a default by Lessee under this Lease.

 

Lessor’s Indemnity

 

5.09.  Lessor expressly agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold Lessee harmless from all claims arising from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation to be performed by Lessor under the terms of this Lease and from and against all costs, loss, damage, legal expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any claim for indemnity

 

13



 

brought by the Lessee under this provision shall be limited to Lessor’s interest in the Premises, and Lessee shall not have recourse to any other assets of Lessor or to the assets of any partner of Lessor for such claim.

 

ARTICLE 6.  SIGNS AND TRADE FIXTURES

 

Installation and Removal of Trade Fixtures

 

Section 6.01.          Lessee shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the term of this Lease and any renewal or extension of such term, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, to install and affix in, to, or on the Premises such items, herein called “trade fixtures,” for use in Lessee’s trade or business as Lessee may, in its sole discretion, deem advisable.  Any and all such trade fixtures that can be removed without structural damage to the Premises or any building or improvement on the Premises shall remain the property of the Lessee and may be removed by Lessee at any time or times prior to the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

 

Unremoved Trade Fixtures

 

Section 6.02.          Any trade fixtures described in this Article that are not removed from the Premises by Lessee within ten (10) days after the expiration or sooner termination, regardless of cause, of this Lease shall be deemed abandoned by Lessee and shall automatically become the property of Lessor as owner of the real property to which they are affixed, unless Lessor notifies Lessee, in writing, of Lessor’s election to have Lessee remove such trade fixtures and to repair any damage caused thereby.  Upon such election by Lessor to require Lessee to remove such trade fixtures, Lessee shall have fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice in which to remove such trade fixtures and repair any damage caused by such removal.  If Lessee fails to remove such trade fixtures and repair any such damage, Lessor may do so at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, including any costs of storing such property.  Such costs and expenses, if incurred by Lessor for Lessee’s benefit, shall be promptly, upon written demand therefor, reimbursed to Lessor by Lessee, together with interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date expended by Lessor to the date of reimbursement by Lessee.

 

Signs

 

Section 6.03.          Lessee may place and maintain, or permit any other person to place and maintain any sign on the Premises providing such sign is in compliance with then existing governmental regulations.  Lessee may not place any decoration, lettering, or advertising matter on the glass of any exterior show window of the Premises.  Lessee shall maintain such sign at all times during this Lease in good appearance and repair.  On expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, all such signs not removed from the Premises by Lessee on such expiration or termination of this Lease may, without liability, be destroyed by Lessor.

ARTICLE 7.  DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION OR CONDEMNATION

 

Duty to Repair or Restore

 

Section 7.01.          If any improvements, including the buildings and other structures, located on the Premises are damaged or destroyed during the term of this Lease or any extension thereof, the damage shall be repaired as follows:

 

(a)           If the damage or destruction is caused by a peril against which fire and extended coverage insurance is required to be carried under this Lease, Lessee shall repair that damage as soon as reasonably possible and restore the Premises and improvements to substantially the same condition as existed before the damage or destruction, regardless of whether the insurance proceeds are sufficient to cover the actual cost of repair or restoration.  If insurance required to be carried by Lessee under this Lease has lapsed or not been carried, Lessee shall be solely responsible for the full cost and expense of necessary repairs and restoration.

 

(b)           If the damage or destruction is caused by a peril against which insurance is not required to be carried by this Lease, Lessor, subject to Lessor’s right to terminate this Lease described in Section 7.02, shall repair that damage as soon as reasonably possible and restore the Premises to substantially the same condition as existed before the damage or destruction.

 

(c)           Whether the damage of destruction is caused either by a peril against which fire and extended coverage insurance is required by this Lease to be carried or by a peril against which insurance is not required to be carried by this Lease, Lessee expressly waives any right under Civil Code Sections 1931-1933 to terminate this Lease for damage or destruction to the Premises.

 

Termination of Lease for Certain Losses

 

Section 7.02.          (a)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, if any improvements located on the Premises are damaged or destroyed to such extent it will cost more than $100,000.00 to repair or replace them, and the damage or destruction is caused by a peril against which insurance is not required to be carried by this Lease, Lessor may terminate this Lease by giving Lessee written notice of the termination.  The notice must be given within slit/ (60) days after the occurrence of the damage or destruction.

 

(b)           Lessee or Lessor shall have the right to terminate this Lease under either of the following circumstances:

 

(i)            If the Premises are damaged or destroyed from any cause whatsoever, insured or uninsured, and the laws then in effect do not permit the repair or restoration of the Premises provided for in this Article; or

 

(ii)           If the Premises are damaged or destroyed from any cause whatsoever, insured or uninsured, during the last year of the term of this Lease or any extension thereof (provided Lessee has not elected before the date of damage or destruction to extend the term of this Lease in accordance with Section 1.02).

 

15



 

(c)           Either party may terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination to the other party not later than fourteen (14) days after the right to terminate accrues, and such termination shall be effective as of the date of the notice of termination.  In the event of a termination under subsection (b), Lessee shall not be entitled to collect any insurance proceeds attributable to insurance policies covering the Premises or improvements except those proceeds attributable to Lessee’s personal property and trade fixtures.

 

(d)           If this Lease is terminated pursuant to either subsection (a) or (b) above, the rent and other sums payable by Lessee to Lessor under this Lease shall be prorated as of the termination date.  If any such sums have been paid in advance by Lessee, Lessor shall refund them to Lessee for the unexpired period for which the payment has been made.

 

Time for Construction of Repairs

 

Section 7.03.          Any and all repairs and restorations of improvements required by this Article shall be commenced by Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be, within a reasonable time after the occurrence of the damage or destruction requiring the repairs or restoration; shall be diligently pursued after being commenced; and shall be completed within a reasonable time after the loss.  If Lessor is required under this Lease to perform the repairs and restoration, Lessor shall cause the repairs and restoration to be completed within 180 days after the occurrence of the event causing destruction or Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease, unless the delays are caused by events outside the control of Lessor.

 

Insurance Proceeds

 

Section 7.04.          If the damage or destruction is caused by a peril against which fire and extended coverage insurance is required to be carried and maintained under this Lease by Lessee, the proceeds of insurance shall be paid directly to the parties for the purpose of making the necessary repairs to the Premises as required under this Lease.

 

Abatement of Rent

 

Section 7.05.          In the event of repair, replacement or restoration as herein provided, the Base Rent payable under this Lease shall be abated proportionately with the degree to which Lessee’s use of the Premises is impaired, from the date of the damage until completion of repairs plus one (1) calendar month.  Lessee shall not be entitled to any compensation of damages for loss in the use of all or part of the Premises and/or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such damage, repair, replacement or reconstruction.

 

Total Condemnation

 

Section 7.06.          Should, during the term of this Lease or any renewal or extension thereof, title and possession of all of the Premises be taken under the power of eminent domain by any public or quasi-public agency or entity, this Lease shall terminate as of 12:01 A.M.  on the date actual physical possession of the Premises is taken by the agency or entity exercising the power of eminent domain and both Lessor and Lessee shall thereafter be released from all obligations, except those specified in Section 7.10 of this Lease, under this Lease.

 

16



 

Termination Option for Partial Condemnation

 

Section 7.07.          Should, during the term of this Lease or any extension thereof, title and possession of only a portion of the Premises be taken under the power of eminent domain by any public or quasi-public agency or entity, Lessee may, at Lessee’s option, terminate this Lease if more than 35 percent of the floor space or more than 55 percent in value of the Premises is taken under the power of eminent domain.  Lessee shall exercise its option by giving written notice to Lessor within 30 days after actual physical possession of the portion subject to the eminent domain power is taken by the agency or entity exercising that power.  This Lease shall terminate as of 12:01 A.M.  on the date the notice is deemed given to Lessor but the rent specified in Article 2 of this Lease shall be reduced in the manner specified in Section 7.08 below from the date of taking to the date of termination of the lease.

 

Partial Condemnation Without Termination

 

Section 7.08.          Should Lessee fail to exercise the option described in Section 7.06 of this Lease or should the portion of the Premises taken under the power of eminent domain be insufficient to give rise to the option described in Section 7.07 of this Lease, then, in that event:

 

(a)           This Lease shall terminate as to the portion of the Premises taken by eminent domain as of 12:01 A.M.  on the day, herein called the “date of taking,” actual physical possession of that portion of the Premises is taken by the agency or entity exercising the power of eminent domain;

 

(b)           The rent specified in Article 2 of this Lease shall, after the date of taking, be reduced by an amount that bears the same ratio to the rent specified in Article 2 of this Lease as the square footage floor space of the portion of said premise taken under the power of eminent domain bears to the total square footage floor space of the Premises as of the date of this Lease; and

 

(c)           Lessor, at Lessor’s own cost and expense, will remodel and reconstruct the building remaining on the portion of the Premises not taken by eminent domain into a single efficient architectural unit as soon after the date of taking, or before, as can be reasonably done; provided, however, that the rent specified in this Lease shall not be abated or reduced, except as provided in subparagraph (b) of this section, during such remodeling and reconstruction.

 

Condemnation Award

 

Section 7.09.          Should, during the term of this Lease or any renewal or extension thereof, title and possession of all or any portion of the Premises be taken under the power of eminent domain by any public or quasi-public agency or entity, the portion of the compensation or damages for the taking awarded to each of the parties to this Lease, Lessor and Lessee, shall belong to and be the sole property of the party Lessor or Lessee, to whom it is awarded.  Lessee shall be entitled to that portion of the compensation or damages awarded for the eminent domain taking that represents (i) reasonable value of Lessee’s rights under this Lease for the unexpired term of this Lease and (ii) the cost or loss sustained by Lessee because of the removal of Lessee’s trade fixtures, equipment and furnishings from the portion of the Premises taken by eminent domain.

 

17



 

Arbitration of Condemnation Award

 

Section 7.10.          Should separate awards not be made to Lessor and Lessee for the taking by eminent domain of all or any portion of the Premises, and should Lessor and Lessee be unable to agree on the manner the total award is to be divided between them pursuant to Section 7.09 of this Lease, the proper division of the award between Lessor and Lessee shall be settled by arbitration as provided in Section 9.03.

 

Lessee’s Waiver

 

Section 7.11.          Lessee agrees that its rights to terminate this Lease due to partial condemnation are governed by this Section.  Lessee waives all rights it may have under California Code of Civil Procedure section 1265.13, or otherwise, to terminate this Lease based on a partial condemnation.

 

ARTICLE 8.  DEFAULT, ASSIGNMENT, AND TERMINATION

 

Subleasing or Assigning as Breach

 

Section 8.01.          Lessee shall not encumber, assign, or otherwise transfer this Lease, any right or interest in this Lease, or any right or interest in the Premises or any of the improvements that may now or hereafter be constructed or installed on the Premises without the express written consent of Lessor first had and obtained.  Neither shall Lessee sublet the Premises or any part thereof or allow any other person, other than Lessee’s patrons, agents, servants, and employees, to occupy the Premises or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Lessor.  The consent of Lessor to any assignment of Lessee’s interest in this Lease or the subletting by Lessee of the Premises or parts of the Premises shall not be unreasonably withheld.  A consent by Lessor to one assignment, one subletting, or one occupation of the Premises by another person shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, or occupation of the Premises by another person.  Any encumbrance, assignment, transfer, or subletting without the prior written consent of Lessor, whether it be voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, is void and shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate this Lease.  Notwithstanding the above, Lessee may assign or sublease the Premises, or portions thereof, to a subsidiary, affiliate or parent of Lessee.  Such permitted assignment shall not relieve Lessee or any person who has personally guaranteed Lessee’s performance of this Lease from any liability under this Lease or any such guarantee.

 

Lessee’s Default

 

Section 8.02.          The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default under this Lease by Lessee:

 

(a)           Non-curable Defaults:  (i)  The vacation or abandonment of any substantial portion of the Premises by Lessee for a period of five (5) business days or longer,

 

(ii)           Any involuntary transfer of Lessee’s interest in this Lease or any voluntary transfer, attempted or actual, of Lessee’s interest in this Lease, without Lessor’s prior written consent, in violation of Section 8.01;

 

18



 

(iii)          If the leasehold interest of Lessee is levied upon under execution or is attached by process of law and said levy or attachment is not promptly released;

 

(iv)          If:  (1)  all or substantially all of the Lessee’s assets are placed in the hands of a receiver or trustee, and such receivership or trusteeship continues for a period of sixty (60) days, or

 

(2)           if Lessee makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or is adjudicated a bankrupt, or

 

(3)           if Lessee institutes any proceedings under any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or under any other act relating to the subject of bankruptcy wherein Lessee seeks to be adjudicated a bankrupt, be discharged of its debts, or effect a plan of liquidation, composition, arrangement or reorganization, or

 

(4)           if any involuntary proceeding is filed against Lessee under any such bankruptcy laws and Lessee consents thereto or acquiesces therein by pleading or default,

 

then any such act shall be deemed a breach of this Lease, and neither this Lease nor any interest in and to the Premises shall become an asset in any of such proceedings and, in any such event, and in addition to any and all rights or remedies of Lessor hereunder or provided by law, this Lease shall terminate automatically as of the date on which any one or more of the above-described occurrences takes place.  In such event, it shall be lawful for Lessor to re-enter the Premises and take possession thereof and remove all persons and all of Lessee’s personal property, fixtures, equipment, alterations, improvements and utility installations therefrom, and Lessee shall have no further claim to the Premises or under this Lease.  Nothing contained herein shall limit or prejudice the right of Lessor to recover damages by reason of any such termination equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, such damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount is greater, equal to, or less than the amount of damages recoverable under the provisions of this Article.  However, the foregoing provisions in this Article shall be subject to the Bankruptcy Code, as heretofore and hereafter amended.

 

(b)           Curable Defaults:  (i)  The failure by Lessee to make any payment of Basic Rent, Additional Rent or any other payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder as and when due and which shall continue for a period of ten (10) business days after written notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee; provided however, any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under the California Code of Civil Procedure or any other law, regulation or ordinance; or

 

(ii)           The failure by Lessee to observe or perform any non-monetary covenants, conditions or provisions of this lease to be observed or performed by Lessee, Other than the aforementioned non-curable defaults, within thirty (30) days after Lessee has been given written notice of such failure.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessee cannot reasonably cure such default within thirty (30) days, Lessee shall not be in default hereunder so long as Lessee commences to cure the default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and in good faith pursues such cure to completion.

 

19


 

Lessors Default

 

Section 8.03.          (a)  Lessor shall be in default if it fails or refuses to perform any provision of this Lease that it is obligated to perform and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Lessee detailing such failure.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessor cannot reasonably cure such default within thirty (30) days, Lessor shall not be in default hereunder so long as Lessor commences to cure the default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and in good faith pursues such cure to completion.

 

(b)           If Lessor is in default hereunder, and as a consequence Lessee recovers a money judgment against Lessor, such judgment shall be satisfied only out of the proceeds of sale received on execution of the judgment and levy against the right, title, and interest of Lessor in the Premises, and out of rent or other income from such real property receivable by Lessor or out of the consideration received by Lessor from the sale or other disposition of all or any part of Lessor’s right, title, and interest in the Premises.  Neither Lessor, nor any partner, agent, officer, director or employee of Lessor shall be personally liable for any portion of such a judgment.

 

Abandonment

 

Section 8.04.          If Lessee vacates or abandons the Premises, this Lease shall continue in effect unless and until expressly terminated by Lessor, and Lessor shall have all of the remedies provided by this Lease or by law, including without limitation, the right to maintain Lessee’s right to possession and to recover Rent as it becomes due hereunder.  Lessor shall not be deemed to have terminated this Lease other than by written notice of termination from Lessor.  At any time subsequent to vacation or abandonment of the Premises by Lessee, Lessor may give notice of termination and shall thereafter have all of the rights hereinafter set forth.

 

Termination

 

Section 8.05.          Following the occurrence of any default, Lessor shall have the right, so long as the default continues, to terminate this Lease by written notice to Lessee setting forth:  (a) the default; (b) the requirements to cure it; and (c) a demand for possession, which shall be effective in accordance with the notice provisions specified in Section 9.04.

 

Possession

 

Section 8.06.          Following termination under Section 8.05, without prejudice to any other remedies Lessor may have by reason of Lessee’s default or of such termination, Lessor may then or at any time thereafter, (a) peaceably re-enter the Premises, or any part thereof, upon voluntary surrender by Lessee, or expel or remove Lessee therefrom and any other persons occupying them, using such legal proceedings as are then available; (b) repossess and enjoy the Premises, or relet the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms, which may be for a term extending beyond the Term, at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Lessor in its sole discretion shall determine, with the right to make reasonable alterations and repairs to the Premises; and (c) remove all personal property therefrom.  Lessee hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future law in the event of Lessee’s being evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or in the event of Lessor’s obtaining

 

20



 

possession of the Premises, or by reason of the violation by Lessee of any of the items, covenants or conditions, of this Lease, or otherwise.

 

Recovery

 

Section 8.07.          Following termination under Section 8.05, Lessor shall have all the rights and remedies of a Lessor provided by Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code.  The amount of damages which Lessor may recover following termination shall include:  (a) the worth at the time of the award of the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination; (b) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of the award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided; (c) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of rental loss Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; and (d) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all detriment proximately caused by Lessee’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease.  The “worth at the time of the award” of the amounts referred to in (a) and (b) above shall be computed by allowing interest at the maximum rate permitted by law.  The “worth at the time of the award” of the amount referred to in (c) above shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one (1%) percent.

 

Additional Remedies

 

Section 8.08.          In addition to the foregoing remedies, Lessor shall, so long as this Lease is not terminated, have the right to remedy any default of Lessee, to maintain or improve the Premises without terminating this Lease, to incur expenses on behalf of Lessee in seeking a new sublessee, or to cause a receiver to be appointed to administer the Premises and new or existing subleases, and to add to the Rent payable hereunder all of Lessor’s reasonable costs in so doing, with interest at the maximum rate permitted by law.

 

Other

 

Section 8.09.          If Lessee causes or threatens to cause a breach of any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions contained in this Lease, Lessor shall be entitled to retain all sums held by Lessor, by any trustee or in any account provided for herein, to enjoin such breach or threatened breach, and to invoke any right and remedy allowed at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise as though re-entry, summary proceedings and other remedies were not provided for in this Lease.

 

Cumulative

 

Section 8.10.          Each right and remedy of Lessor provided for in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this Lease, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Lessor of any or all other rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing in law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.

 

21



 

No Waiver

 

Section 8.11.          No failure by Lessor or Lessee to insist upon the strict performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial payment of Rent during the continuance of any such breach shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of any such term.  Efforts by Lessor to mitigate the damages caused by Lessee’s breach of this Lease shall not be construed to be a waiver of Lessor’s right to recover damages under this Article.  Nothing in this Article affects the right of Lessor to indemnification by Lessee for liability arising prior to the termination of this Lease for personal injuries or property damage.

 

Written Action

 

Section 8.12.          No act or thing done by Lessor or its agents during the Term hereof shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a surrender of the premises shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by Lessor.  Neither the reference in this Lease to any particular remedy nor the pursuit of any particular remedy shall preclude Lessor from any other remedy Lessor might have, either at law or in equity.

 

Replacement of Statutory Notice Requirements

 

Section 8.13.          When this Lease requires service of a notice, that notice shall replace rather than supplement any equivalent or similar statutory notice, including any notices required by Code of Civil Procedure section 1161 or any similar or successor statute.  When a statute requires service of a notice in a particular manner, service of that notice (or a similar notice required by this Lease) in the manner required by Section 9.04 shall replace and satisfy the statutory service-of-notice procedures, including those required by Code of Civil Procedure section 1162 or any similar or successor statute.

 

Continuation of Lease in Effect

 

Section 8.14.          Lessor shall have the remedy described in Civil Code section 1951.4, which provides that, when a Lessee has the right to sublet or assign (subject only to reasonable limitations), the Lessor may continue the lease in effect after the Lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due.  Accordingly, if Lessor does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Lessee, Lessor may enforce all of Lessor’s rights and remedies under this Lease, including the night to recover all Rent as it becomes due.

 

Efforts To Relet

 

Section 8.15.          For purposes of this Article 8, Lessee’s right to possession shall not be considered to have been terminated by Lessors efforts to relet the Premises, by Lessor’s acts of maintenance or preservation with respect to the Premises, or by appointment of a receiver to protect Lessor’s interests under this Lease.  This list is merely illustrative of acts that may be performed by Lessor without terminating Lessee’s right to possession.

 

22



 

ARTICLE 9.  MISCELLANEOUS

 

Force Majeure - Unavoidable Delays

 

Section 9.01.          Should the performance of any act required by this Lease to be performed by either Lessor or Lessee be prevented or delayed by reason of an act of God, strike, lockout, labor troubles, inability to secure materials, restrictive governmental laws or regulations, or any other cause except financial inability, not the fault of the party required to perform the act, the time for performance of the act will be extended for a period equivalent to the period of delay and performance of the act during the period of delay will be excused; provided, however, that nothing contained in this section shall excuse the prompt payment of rent or other sums by Lessee as required by this Lease or the performance of any act rendered difficult solely because of the financial condition of the party, Lessor or Lessee, required to perform the act.

Section 9.02.          (a)  Should any litigation be commenced between the parties to this Lease concerning the Premises, this Lease, or the rights and duties of either in relation thereto, the party, Lessor or Lessee, prevailing in such litigation shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted in the litigation, to a reasonable sum as and for his attorney’s fees in such litigation which shall be determined by the court in such litigation or in a separate action brought for that purpose.

 

(b)           If Lessor is made a party defendant to any litigation concerning this Lease or the leased Premises or the occupancy thereof by Lessee, then Lessee shall hold Lessor harmless from all liability by reason of said litigation, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses incurred by Lessor in any such litigation, whether or not any such litigation is prosecuted to judgment, provided however, it is agreed between Lessor and Lessee that if the litigation referred to in this Section arises out of no act, fault, or negligence of the Lessee, there shall be no obligation on the part of Lessee to hold harmless the Lessor from said litigation.

 

(c)           If Lessee breaches any term of this Lease, Lessor may employ an attorney or attorneys to protect Lessor’s rights hereunder, and in the event of such employment following any breach by Lessee, Lessee shall pay Lessor reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses incurred by Lessor, whether or not an action is actually commenced against Lessee by reason of said breach.

Binding on Heirs and Successors

 

Section 9.06.          This Lease shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns of the parties hereto, Lessor and Lessee, but nothing in this section contained shall be construed as a consent by Lessor to any assignment of this Lease or any interest therein by Lessee except as provided in Article 8 of this Lease.

 

Partial Invalidity

Section 9.08.          This instrument constitutes the sole and only agreement between Lessor and Lessee respecting the Premises, the leasing of the Premises to Lessee, or the lease term herein specified, and correctly sets for the obligations of Lessor and Lessee to each other as of its date.  Any agreements or representations respecting the Premises or their leasing by Lessor to Lessee not expressly set forth in this instrument are null and void.

25



 

(ii)           In consideration of the mortgagee’s or beneficiary’s agreement not to disturb Lessee’s possession as above provided, Lessee hereby agrees to attorn to the purchaser at any foreclosure, sale or other action or proceeding.

Time of Essence

 

Section 9.11.          Time is expressly declared to be the essence of this Lease.

 

Accord and Satisfaction

 

Section 9.12.          No payment by Lessee or receipt by Lessor of a lesser amount than the monthly rent stipulated herein or any other sum due hereunder from Lessee to Lessor shall be deemed to be anything other than a payment on account of the earliest sum then due and owing to Lessor.  No endorsement or statement on any check of any letter accompanying any check or payment or payment of any sum(s) due from Lessee to Lessor hereunder shall be deemed to be an accord and satisfaction, and Lessor may accept and negotiate any such payment without prejudice to Lessor’s right to recover the balance of such rent or other sum or to pursue any other remedy provided for in this Lease or by law.

 

Right of First Refusal to Purchase Leased Premises

 

Section 9.13.          (a)  If at any time during the term of this Lease Lessor receives from any third party a bona fide offer to purchase the Premises at a price and on terms acceptable to Lessor, Lessor shall give written notice of the offer to Lessee.  Within thirty (30) days after Lessor gives Lessee written notice of the third-party offer, Lessee shall have the right to purchase the Premises at the same price and on the same terms and conditions set forth in the third-party offer.  To exercise its right, Lessee must, within the same thirty (30) day period, deposit in escrow with any title company in Ventura County, California, all moneys and instruments required by the terms of the offer to be paid or delivered to Lessor on close of escrow and shall also give Lessor written notice of the deposit.  In the event Lessee fails to exercise the option to purchase in accordance with the provisions of this Section, Lessor may sell the Premises to the third party making the offer on the same terms and conditions set forth in that offer.  If for any reason the Premises are not sold to the party making the offer, Lessor shall give Lessee the same right to purchase the Premises on receiving any subsequent offer from any third party that is acceptable to Lessor.

 

(b)           Lessee may not assign the rights granted under this section either separately or together with a transfer of Lessee’s leasehold interest, and any purported assignment shall be null and void.

 

(c)           If this property is sold to any third party during the term of this Lease, then the provisions of this section shall thereafter be of no further force or effect.

Bankruptcy

 

Section 9.14.          Should a petition in bankruptcy be filed by the Lessee, or should Lessee, during the term hereof, become insolvent or make any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent by any Court, or should a receiver or trustee in bankruptcy be appointed over the business, property and assets of the Lessee, and the Premises herein lease, or take charge of the Premises herein demised, or should this lease, by operation of law, devolve upon or pass to any person or persons other than the Lessee, then upon any of such events, the Lessor may, at its option, re-enter and take possession of these Premises herein leased and remove all persons therefrom and terminate the Lease.

 

Estoppel Certificate

 

Section 9.15.          Within ten (10) days following any written request which Lessor may make from time to time, Lessee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor a statement certifying:  (a) the date of commencement of this Lease; (b) the fact that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or, if there have been modifications hereto, that this Lease is in full force and effect, and stating the date and nature of such modifications; (c) the date to which the Rent and other sums payable under this Lease have been paid; (d) that there are no current defaults under this Lease by either Lessor or Lessee except as specified in Lessee’s statement; and (e) any other information Lessor may reasonably require.  Lessor and Lessee intend that any statement delivered pursuant to this Section may be relied upon by any encumbrancer, ground Lessee, beneficiary, purchaser or prospective purchaser of the Property or any interest therein, as well as any of their assigns.

Section 9.16.          Lessor has the right to transfer all or part of its interest in the Building and Real Property and in this Lease.  On such a transfer, Lessor shall automatically be released from all liability accruing under this Lease, and Lessee shall look solely to that transferee for the performance of Lessor’s obligations under this Lease after the date of transfer.  Lessor may assign its interest in this Lease to a mortgage lender as additional security.  This assignment shall not release Lessor from its obligations under this Lease, and Lessee shall continue to look to Lessor for the performance of its obligations under this Lease.

 

Liability Of The Lessor

 

Section 9.17.          Except as otherwise provided in this Lease or applicable law, for any breach of this Lease the liability of Lessor (including all persons and entities that comprise Lessor, and any successor Lessor) and any recourse by Lessee against Lessor shall be limited to the interest of Lessor and Lessor’s successors in interest in and to the Building and Real Property.  On behalf of itself and all persons claiming by, through, or under Lessee, Lessee expressly waives and releases Lessor from any personal liability for breach of this Lease.

Exhibit 10.41

 

LEASE AGREEMENT

 

BY THIS LEASE dated February 1, 2001, SANTA MARIA BUILDING PARTNERSHIP, a California general partnership, herein called “Lessor,” leases to COASTAL RADIATION ONCOLOGY MEDICAL GROUP, INC., a California corporation, herein called “Lessee,” that certain real property, herein called “the Premises,” in the City of Santa Maria, County of Santa Barbara, State of California, commonly known as 316 South Stratford Avenue, Santa Maria, California, and more particularly described in Exhibit A, attached hereto.

 

ARTICLE 1.  TERM OF LEASE

 

Original Term

 

Section 1.01.         This Lease shall be for a term of fifteen (15) years, commencing on February 1, 2001, and ending on January 31, 2016.

 

Extended Term

 

Section 1.02.         Should Lessee perform all the terms and conditions of this Lease and provided Lessee is not then in default under the terms of this Lease, Lessee may extend this Lease for two (2) additional, separate terms of ten (10) years each, commencing on expiration of the preceding term, by giving Lessor written notice of Lessee’s desire to extend the term hereof not less than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to expiration of the preceding term. This option to extend the term of this Lease is personal to Lessee and may not be transferred by Lessee without Lessor’s prior written consent.

 

Hold Over

 

Section 1.03.         Should Lessee hold over and continue in possession of the Premises after expiration of the term of this Lease or any extension thereof, Lessee’s continued occupancy of the Premises shall be considered a month-to-month tenancy subject to all the terms and conditions of this Lease, except that the base rent shall be in an amount equal to 100% of the last monthly rent. If Lessee fails to surrender the Premises upon the expiration of this Lease, Lessee shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from all loss or liability, including without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded on or resulting from such failure to surrender.

 

ARTICLE 2.  RENT

 

Base Rent

 

Section 2.01.         For the first year of the term hereof, Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor a fixed rental for the use and occupancy of the Premises of Twenty Two Thousand Four Hundred Thirty Three Dollars ($22,433.00) per month, payable on the first (1st) day of each and every calendar month commencing on February 1, 2001, at

 



 

316 S. Stratford Avenue, Santa Maria, CA 93454, or at such other place or places as Lessor may from time to time designate by written notice delivered to Lessee.

 

Rent Adjustment

 

Section 2.02.         The Base Rent provided for in Section 2.01 above shall be increased by three percent (3%) one year after the commencement of the term hereof and annually thereafter on the same date each calendar year.

 

Base Rent for Extension Terms

 

(a)           In the event Lessee timely exercises its option to extend the lease term under Section 1.02 above, then within fifteen (15) days of Lessee’s written notice to Lesior of Lessee’s exercise of such option, Lessor and Lessee shall meet to establish the Base Rent for the first year of the Extension Term (“Rent Meeting”). The Base Rent per square foot of leaseable area in the Premises for the first year of each extension term shall be the fair market rental value of the Premises, determined in accordance with the following formula:

 

Vault Sq. Ft. X (Market Rent x 2.67) + Medical Sq. Ft X (Market Rent)
(divided by) total leaseable square footage

 

= Base Rent per square foot

 

As used in the above formula, “Vault Sq. Ft.” means the total square footage of the treatment vaults, other than any treatment vaults added at the Lessee’s cost and expense. “Market Rent” is the current fair market rent per square foot for medical office space in the City of Santa Maria, California on a triple net basis. This space will be leased (not subleased) and will be comparable in size, location and quality to the Premises. “Medical Sq. Ft” refers to all leaseable space in the Premises other than Vault Sq. Ft. “Total leaseable square footage” shall be the total leaseable square footage in the Premises determined by survey.

 

In the event that the parties cannot agree on the Market Rent for the first year of an extension term, then within ten (10) days after the Rent Meeting, Lessor and Lessee shall each specify in writing to the other party its determination of such Market Rent Rate. If either party fails to submit its written determination in accordance with this Section, the Base Rent for the extension term shall be the determination submitted by the other party.

 

(b)           Within ten (10) days after the parties have exchanged written determinations, Lessor and Lessee shall mutually select three commercial realtors within the City of Santa Maria to determine the Market. Rent. Each such realtor shall (i) be disinterested; (ii) be qualified to determine the fair market rental rates for real estate similar to the Premises; and (iii) have been actively engaged in the leasing of comparable medical space in the City of Santa Maria for a period of not less than five (5) continuous years immediately preceding his or her appointment. If Lessor and Lessee are unable to mutually select three such commercial realtors, then either party,

 

2



 

on behalf of both, may request such appointment by the President of the local chapter of the California Realtors Association. If such Association is not then in existence, either party, on behalf of both, may request such appointment by the presiding judge of the Superior Court of the Judicial District in which the property is located. Each such realtor shall submit their respective determinations of Market Rent for the area in writing to both parties and shall provide the basis for such determination.

 

(c)           The average of the three written determinations of Market Rent prepared by the realtors so selected shall be utilized to determine the Base Rent of the Premises for the initial year of the extension term. The costs of the three realtors’ services shall be shared equally by the parties. The decision of the realtors shall be binding upon the Lessor and Lessee.

 

(d)           In the event that the parties have not agreed on the Market Rent or the realtors have not been selected and the Market Rent determined before the commencement of the extension term, Lessee shall continue to pay the same lease rate in effect at the end of the lease year immediately preceding the commencement of the extension term. Lessee shall pay such sum as Base Rent until the initial Base Rent for the extension term is determined, at which time Lessee shall promptly pay Lessor any additional rent due by reason of any increase in the Base Rent during the extension term over the Base Rent previously paid by Lessee. If the Base Rent actually paid by Lessee during this period is ultimately determined to be more than the revised Base Rent as finally determined as above provided, any such over payment shall constitute a credit against the revised Base Rent, and that credit shall be applied to the following month or months until such credit is exhausted.

 

(e)           The Base Rent as above determined shall be subject to increase at the end of the first lease year of the extension term in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02 above.

 

Taxes, Utilities and Operating Expenses as Additional Rent

 

Section 2.03.         In addition to the rent specified in Sections 2.01 and 2.02 above, Lessee shall pay, as additional rent, all Utilities, Insurance, Personal and Real Property Taxes and Operating Expenses directly to the vendor or creditor for such items, or otherwise as set forth in this Section 2.03. If Lessee fails to pay any such amount, Lessor may in its sole discretion, advance monies to pay such items, and demand reimbursement in full from Lessee (referred to as “additional rent” herein), including without limitation any cost, expense, assessment or charge, as well as interest as provided in this Lease.

 

Utilities

 

(a)           Lessee shall pay, and hold Lessor and the property of Lessor including the Premises, free and harmless from, all charges for the furnishing of gas, water, sewer, electricity, telephone service, garbage and trash removal and other public utilities during the entire term of this Lease or any extension thereof. All such charges shall be paid by

 

3



 

Lessee directly to the provider of the service and shall be paid as they become due and payable but in any event before delinquency.

 

Lessee agrees that Lessor shall not be liable for damages, by abatement of Rent or otherwise, for failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any service (including telephone and telecommunication services) or for diminution in the quality or quantity of any service when the failure, delay, or diminution is entirely or partially caused by:

 

(i)        Breakage repairs, replacements, or improvements;

 

(ii)       Strike, lockout, or other labor trouble;

 

(iii)      Inability to secure electricity, gas, water, or other fuel at the Building after reasonable effort to do so;

 

(iv)     Accident or casualty;

 

(v)      Act or default of Lessee or other parties; or

 

(vi)     Any other cause beyond Lessor’s reasonable control.

 

Such failure, delay, or diminution shall not be considered to constitute an eviction or a disturbance of Lessee’s use and possession of the Premises or relieve Lessee from paying rent or performing any of its obligations under this Lease. Lessor shall not be liable under any circumstances for a loss of or injury to property or for injury to or interference with Lessee’s business, including loss of profits through, in connection with, or incidental to a failure to furnish any of the utilities or services under this Section 2.03. Lessor may comply with mandatory or voluntary controls or guidelines promulgated by any government entity relating to the use or conservation of energy, water, gas, light, or electricity or the reduction of automobile or other emissions without creating any liability of Lessor to Lessee under this Lease as long as compliance with voluntary controls or guidelines does not materially and unreasonably interfere with Lessee’s use of the Premises.

 

Personal Property Taxes

 

(b)           Lessee shall pay before they become delinquent all taxes, assessments and other charges levied or imposed by any governmental entity on the furniture, trade fixtures, equipment and other personal property placed by Lessee in, on or about the Premises.

 

Real Property Taxes

 

(c)           Lessee shall pay all real property taxes and general and special assessments on the Premises, including any increases in such taxes and assessments, before they become delinquent.

 

The real property taxes and assessments levied against the Premises for the first and last years of the term hereof shall be prorated between Lessor and Lessee for

 

4



 

purposes of this section as of 12:01 A.M. on the date of commencement and termination respectively of this Lease.

 

Lessee shall have the right, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, to protest or contest in good faith the amount of any tax or assessment. As a condition precedent to Lessee’s right to protest such taxes or assessments, Lessee shall either pay the disputed amount and file for refund or deposit with Lessor the disputed amount plus one (1) years interest at the rate then charged by said county plus any estimated penalty which Lessor may incur by non-payment. Upon such payment or deposit, Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee in prosecuting such dispute.

 

Operating Expenses

 

(d)           Lessee shall pay all Operating Expenses attributable to the occupation and use of the Premises.

 

The term “Operating Expenses” as used in this Lease shall mean all expenses, costs and fees attributable to Lessee’s use and occupancy of the Premises under this Lease, including but not limited to:

 

(i)      Miscellaneous operating costs, maintenance, security services, replacement for normal wear and tear, repair, re-striping and resurfacing of paving, insurance (including public liability and property damage, rent continuation, boiler and machinery and extended coverage insurance), and cleaning of the Premises and all parts thereof and all furnishings, fixtures and equipment therein. The term “Operating Expenses” shall include the annual amortization of costs (including financing at the then prevailing rate, if any) of any improvements, equipment, or devices required by any governmental authority or incurred as a labor saving measure or to reduce operation or maintenance expenses with respect to the Premises where such costs are amortized over the useful life thereof.

 

(ii)     Operating Expenses shall also include licenses, permits, charges and assessments which are levied, assessed, imposed or collected by any governmental authority or improvement or assessment district during any calendar year with respect to the Premises and Lessee’s use and occupancy of the Premises and the land on which the premises are located, and any improvements, fixtures, equipment and other property of Lessor, real or personal, used in connection with the operation or maintenance of the Premises (computed on a cash basis or as if paid in permitted installments regardless of whether actually so paid), as well as any tax which shall be levied or assessed in addition to or in lieu of any tax described in Sections 2.03 (b) or (c) above (it being acknowledged that because of the passage of laws which limit increases in property taxes, government agencies may impose fees, charges, assessments or other levies in connection with services previously furnished without charge or at a lesser charge and which were previously paid for in whole or in part, directly or indirectly by real property taxes), any gross excise tax or other similar tax, and any costs or expenses of contesting any such taxes, licenses, charges or assessments, but excluding any federal or state income or gift tax or any franchise, capital stock, estate or Inheritance taxes.

Late Charges

 

Section 2.04.         If any installment of rent or other payment required to be paid by Lessee to Lessor is not paid within ten (10) days of the date on which it is due, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the late payment shall be due from Lessee to Lessor to compensate Lessor for the additional administrative work caused by such default and to compensate Lessor for the loss of use of such defaulted payment. The late charge herein shall be in addition to any other remedy which Lessor may have hereunder for such default.

 

Interest on Late Payments

 

Section 2.05.         If any payment required to be paid by Lessee to Lessor is not paid within ten (10) days of the date on which it is due, such payment shall bear interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date it became due until it is paid by Lessee to Lessor.

This indemnification shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

 

If the presence of any Hazardous Material brought onto the Premises or the Building by Lessee or Lessee’s employees, agents, contractors, or invitees results in contamination of the Building, Lessee shall promptly take all necessary actions to remove or remediate such Hazardous Materials, whether or not they are present at concentrations exceeding state or federal maximum concentration or action levels, or any governmental agency has issued a cleanup order, at Lessee’s sole expense, to return the Premises or the Building to the condition that existed before the introduction of such Hazardous Material. Lessee shall first obtain Lessor’s approval of the proposed removal or remedial action. This provision does not limit the indemnification obligation set forth in Section 3.04.

 

Compliance With Law

 

Section 3.05.         Lessee shall at Lessee’s own cost and expense comply with all statues, ordinances, regulations, existing use permits and requirements of all governmental entities, both federal and state and county or municipal, relating to Lessee’s use and occupancy of the Premises whether such statutes, ordinances, regulations, and requirements be now in force or hereinafter enacted. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction, or the admission by Lessee in a proceeding brought against Lessee by any government entity, that Lessee has violated any such statute, ordinance, regulation, or requirement shall be conclusive as between Lessor and Lessee and shall be grounds for termination of this Lease by Lessor. Lessor agrees that any requirements of the Municipal, State, or Federal authorities which require alteration of Lessor’s building shall not be the responsibility of Lessee, unless required because of an act of Lessee or a use of the Premises by Lessee.

ARTICLE 4.  ALTERATIONS AND REPAIRS

 

Maintenance

 

Section 4.01.         Lessee shall at his own cost and expense keep and maintain all portions of the Premises as well as all improvements on the Premises and all facilities appurtenant to the Premises, including but not limited to electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning, sewage systems, roof and outer walls in good order and repair and in as safe and dean a condition as they were when received by Lessee from Lessor, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

 

Should Lessee fail to maintain the Premises as set forth above, Lessor may, at Lessor’s option, perform or contract for the performance of such maintenance for and on behalf of Lessee. In such event, Lessee shall promptly on written demand of Lessor reimburse Lessor for all cost and expense incurred by Lessor in performing Lessee’s obligations hereunder plus interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date expended by Lessor to the date of repayment by Lessee.

 

Alterations and Liens

 

Section 4.02.         Lessor and Lessee agree that from time to time during the term of this Lease, Lessee may desire alterations, changes and additions in and to the interior of the Premises and to the Building that are necessary or convenient to the operation of its business at the Premises.

 

Non-structural Changes

 

(a)           Lessee may, at its own expense, make nonstructural changes to the interior of the Premises (eg. revisions to interior decor, carpeting, painting, wall covering, etc.) provided that the value of the Premises shall not be diminished thereby. Further provided, that any non-structural changes exceeding $5,000 in total cost must first be approved by the Lessor prior to commencement of such changes.

 

Structural Changes

 

(b)           If Lessee desires either (i) interior changes to the Premises of a structural nature (eg. relocating interior walls); or (ii) changes to the facade or exterior walls or roof, or (iii) desires the addition of square footage to the Premises (i.e. addition of Medical square footage or Vault square footage) then Lessee shall submit detailed plans and specifications for any proposed alteration or improvement to the Premises for Lessor’s review and approval. The Lessor shall have the option to approve or deny the request for structural changes in writing within 30 (thirty) days of receipt of such request, in the reasonable discretion of the Lessor. The failure of the Lessor to disapprove or object to such plans and specifications or any substantial changes therein within said thirty (30) days, shall constitute Lessor’s disapproval of the same. Subsequent to such approval, minor changes in work or materials not affecting the general character of the improvements need not be approved by Lessor but a copy of the altered plans and specifications reflecting such changes must be promptly given to Lessor. If approved,

 

9



 

the Lessor shall have the option to pay for the changes, or not, in its sole discretion. If the Lessor chooses to pay for the changes, then the parties shall meet immediately to negotiate an adjustment to the Base Rent to go into effect at the completion of the alterations. If the Lessor chooses not to pay for the alterations, the Lessee has the option to proceed with the alterations, in its sole discretion and at its expense, without paying any amount of rent for the added square footage for the remaining Original Term, only the expenses attributable to the additional space.

 

Supervision of Alterations

 

(c)           All structural changes to the Premises involving load bearing walls which require Lessor’s approval shall be made under the supervision of a licensed architect or licensed structural engineer in accordance with the detailed plans and specifications submitted to Lessor as above provided.

 

Notices of Non-Responsibility

 

(d)           Lessee shall provide Lessor with at least twenty (20) days written notice prior to commencing any alteration, addition or change to the Premises requiring Lessor’s approval and Lessor shall have the right to enter the Premises to post Notices of Non-Responsibility as provided by law.

 

Quality of Work; Ownership

 

(e)           All work with respect to any alteration, addition or change must be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and diligently prosecuted to completion to the end that the Premises shall at all times be a complete unit, except during the period of work. Furthermore, any and all alterationt, additions, improvements, and fixtures, except furniture and trade fixtures, made or placed in or on the Premises by Lessee or any other person shall on expiration or sooner termination of this Lease become the property of Lessor and remain on the Premises; provided, however, that Lessor shall have the option on expiration or sooner termination of this Lease of requiring Lessee, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, to remove any or all such alterations, additions, improvements, or fixtures from the Premises (excluding vaults). All such changes, alterations, and improvements shall be performed and completed strictly in accordance with the laws and ordinances relating thereto, and in such a manner as not to impede access to the Premises.

 

Lessee shall not be the cause or object of any liens or allow such liens to exist, attach to, be placed on, or encumber Lessor’s or Lessee’s interest in the Premises, Building, or Real Property by operation of law or otherwise. Lessee shall not suffer or permit any lien of mechanics, material suppliers, or others to be placed against the Premises, with respect to work or services performed or claimed to have been furnished to Lessee or the Premises. If any such lien attaches or Lessee receives notice of any such lien, Lessee shall cause the lien to be immediately released and removed of record. Despite any other provision of this Lease, if the lien is not released and removed within 10 (ten) days after Lessor delivers notice of the lien to Lessee, Lessor may immediately take all action necessary to release and remove the lien, without any duty

 

10



 

to investigate the validity of it. All expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred by Lessor in connection with the lien shall be considered additional rent under this Lease and be immediately due and payable by Lessee.

 

Additional Requirements

 

(f)            If Lessee pays for the changes, the following provisions shall apply to such changes:

 

(i)      The exterior of the improvements shall be compatible with the design and appearance of the Premises as it exists at the time of execution of this Lease.

 

(ii)     All work required in the construction of the structural changes, including any site preparation work, utility installations as well as actual construction shall be performed only pursuant to a contract entered into by Lessee with a competent general contractor and sub-contractors duly licensed as such under the Laws of the State of California, with proof of adequate liability and workers compensation insurance.

 

(iii)    The approval by Lessor of any plans and specifications under this paragraph refers only to the conformity of such plans and specifications to the general architectural plan for the Building. By approving such plans and specifications, Lessor assumes no liability or responsibility therefor and for any defect in any structure constructed from such plans or specifications.

 

Inspection by Lessor

 

Section 4.03.         Lessee shall permit Lessor or his agents to enter into and upon the Premises during business hours for the purpose of inspecting the same, or for the purpose of posting notices of non-responsibility for alterations, additions or repairs or for the purpose of placing upon the property in which the Premises are located any usual or ordinary “for sale” signs, without any rebate of rent and without any liability to Lessee for any loss of occupation or quiet enjoyment of the Premises thereby occasioned. Lessee shall permit Lessor, at any time within one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of this Lease, to place upon the Premises any usual or ordinary “to let” or “to lease” signs, provided that such entries made by Lessor hereunder shall not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Lessee’s business.

 

Surrender of Premises

 

Section 4.04.         On expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, or any extensions or renewals of this Lease, Lessee shall promptly surrender and deliver the Premises to Lessor in as good condition as they are on at the date of possession, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

ARTICLE 5.  INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE

 

Hold-Harmless Clause

 

Section 5.01.         To the fullest extent permitted by law, Lessee, on its behalf and on behalf of its successors and assignees, waives all claims (in law, equity, or otherwise) against Lessor, its officers, directors, principals, agents, successors, assignees and agent arising out of, knowingly and voluntarily assumes the risk of, and agrees that Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for any of the following acts or failure to act set forth in paragraphs (a) to (c) below. Lessor shall not be liable under this clause regardless of whether the liability results from any active or passive act, error, omission, or negligence of any of the Lessor; or is based on claims in which liability without fault or strict liability is imposed or sought to be imposed on any of the Lessor. This exculpation clause shall not apply to claims against Lessor to the extent that a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction establishes that the injury, loss, damage, or destruction was proximately caused by Lessor’s fraud, willful injury to person or property, or violation of law.

 

(a)           The death or injury of any person or persons, including Lessee or any person who is an employee or agent of Lessee, or by reason of the damage to or destruction of any property, including property owned by Lessee or any person who is an employee or agent of Lessee, and caused or allegedly caused by either the condition of the Premises, or some act or omission of Lessee or of some agent, contractor, employee, servant, sublessee, or concessionaire of Lessee on the Premises;

 

(b)           Any work performed on the Premises or materials furnished to the Premises at the instance or request of Lessee or any agent or employee of Lessee;

Liability Insurance

 

Section 5.02.         Lessee shall, at its own cost and expense, obtain and maintain during the entire term of this Lease and any renewals or extensions thereof, a broad form comprehensive coverage policy of public liability insurance issued by an insurance company or companies rated by Best as A+ or better and authorized to conduct insurance business in the State of California and insuring Lessee and Lessor against loss or liability caused by or connected with Lessee’s occupation and use of the Premises under this Lease in amounts not less than:

 

(a)           $1,000,000.00 combined single limit for injury to or death as a result of any accident or incident.

 

(b)           $2,000,000.00 for damage to or destruction of any property of others.

 

12



 

Such public liability insurance, and property damage insurance shall insure performance by Lessee of the indemnity provisions of Section 5.01 above. Both parties shall be named as co-insured, and the policy shall contain cross liability endorsements, if available. The policy shall be primary insurance for all claims under it and provide that any insurance carried by Lessor is strictly excess, secondary, and noncontributing with any insurance carried by Lessee. Lessee may provide such insurance under a single policy or under one or more separate policies.

 

Every three (3) years, Lessor may increase the amount of public liability and property damage insurance coverage required hereunder, if at that time the existing coverage is not adequate in the opinion of Lessor’s insurance broker or lender(s).

 

Fire and Casualty Insurance

 

Section 5.03.         Lessee shall, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, at all times during the term hereof, and any extensions thereof, keep all buildings, improvements and other structures on the Premises insured for their full replacement cost against loss or destruction by fire and the perils, including vandalism and malicious mischief, commonly covered under standard extended coverage endorsements in Santa Barbara County, California. Lessor shall be named as an additional insured on all such policies and the policies shall contain a cross-liability endorsement.

 

“Full replacement cost” as used herein shall mean the actual cost of replacement for the buildings and other improvements on the Premises, as determined from time to time by Lessor. Upon notification to Lessee in writing of Lessor’s determination of full replacement cost, Lessee shall, within thirty (30) days of such written notice, increase the amount of the insurance carried to the amount stated in the notice.

 

Business Interruption Insurance

 

Section 5.04.         Lessee shall, at all times during the term of this Lease and any extensions thereof, maintain at Lessee’s sole cost and expense a policy of business interruption insurance, ensuring the rent provided for in this Lease will be paid to Lessor for a period not less than one (1) year in the event the Premises are destroyed-or damaged so as to render operation of Lessee’s business impossible or impractical by any casualty insured against by standard fire and extended coverage insurance.

 

Lessee’s Personal Property

 

Section 5.05.         Lessee shall, at all times during the term of this Lease and any extensions thereof, maintain at Lessee’s sole cost and expense an insurance policy issued by a company acceptable to Lessor insuring for their full insurable value all furniture, fixtures, equipment and alterations or improvements made to the Premises by Lessee against loss or destruction by fire and the perils commonly covered under the standard extended coverage endorsement to fire insurance policies in Santa Barbara County. Any loss payable under such insurance shall be payable to Lessee and shall be used to repair or replace such furniture, fixtures, equipment and alterations and improvements.

 

13



 

Cancellation Clause

 

Section 5.06.         Any policy of insurance required to be obtained and maintained by Lessee under this Article shall be written by insurance companies authorized to do business in the State of California.

Lessor’s Right to Procure Insurance

 

Section 5.08.         If at any time Lessee fails to procure or maintain the insurance required by this Article, Lessor may obtain that insurance and pay the premiums on it for the benefit of Lessee. Any amounts paid by Lessor to procure or maintain insurance pursuant to this section shall be immediately due and repayable to Lessor by Lessee with the next then due installment of rent under this Lease. Failure to repay at that time any amount expended by Lessor shall be considered the same as a failure to pay rent and a default by Lessee under this Lease.

 

Lessor’s Indemnity

 

5.09.       Lessor expressly agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold Lessee harmless from all claims arising from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation to be performed by Lessor under the terms of this Lease and from and against all costs, loss, damage, legal expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any claim for indemnity brought by the Lessee under this provision shall be limited to Lessor’s interest in the Premises, and Lessee shall not have recourse to any other assets of Lessor or to the assets of any partner of Lessor for such claim.

Unremoved Trade Fixtures

 

Section 6.02.         Any trade fixtures described in this Article that are not removed from the Premises by Lessee within ten (10) days after the expiration or sooner termination, regardless of cause, of this Lease shall be deemed abandoned by Lessee and shall automatically become the property of Lessor as owner of the real property to which they are affixed, unless Lessor notifies Lessee, in writing, of Lessor’s election to have-Lessee remove such trade fixtures and to repair any damage caused thereby. Upon such election by Lessor to require Lessee to remove such trade fixtures, Lessee shall have fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice in which to remove such trade fixtures and repair any damage caused by such removal. If Lessee fails to remove such trade fixtures and repair any such damage, Lessor may do so at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, including any costs of storing such property. Such costs and expenses, if incurred by Lessor for Lessee’s benefit, shall be promptly, upon written demand therefor, reimbursed to Lessor by Lessee, together with interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date expended by Lessor to the date of reimbursement by Lessee.

 

Signs

 

Section 6.03.         Lessee may place and maintain, or permit any other person to place and maintain any sign on the Premises providing such sign is in compliance with then existing governmental regulations.

15



 

(b)           If the damage or destruction is caused by a peril against which insurance is not required to be carried by this Lease, Lessor, subject to Lessor’s right to terminate this Lease described in Section 7.02, shall repair that damage as soon as reasonably possible and restore the Premises to substantially the same condition as existed before the damage or destruction.

 

(c)           Whether the damage of destruction is caused either by a peril against which fire and extended coverage insurance is required by this Lease to be carried or by a peril against which insurance is not required to be carried by this Lease, Lessee expressly waives any right under Civil Code Sections 1931-1933 to terminate this Lease fordmage or destruction to the Premises.

 

Termination of Lease for Certain Losses

 

Section 7.02.         (a)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, if any improvements located on the Premises are damaged or destroyed to such extent it will cost more than $100,000.00 to repair or replace them, and the damage or destruction is caused by a peril against which insurance is not required to be carried by this Lease, Lessor may terminate this Lease by giving Lessee written notice of the termination. The notice must be given within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of the damage or destruction.

 

(b)           Lessee or Lessor shall have the right to terminate this Lease under either of the following circumstances:

 

(i)      If the Premises are damaged or destroyed from any cause whatsoever, insured or uninsured, and the laws then in effect do not permit the repair or restoration of the Premises provided for in this Article; or

 

(ii)     If the Premises are damaged or destroyed from any cause whatsoever, insured or uninsured, during the last year of the term of this Lease or any extension thereof (provided Lessee has not elected before the date of damage or destruction to extend the term of this Lease in accordance with Section 1.02).

 

(c)           Either party may terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination to the other party not later than fourteen (14) days after the right to terminate accrues, and such termination shall be effective as of the date of the notice of termination.

Abatement of Rent

 

Section 7.05.         In the event of repair, replacement or restoration as herein provided, the Base Rent payable under this Lease shall be abated proportionately with the degree to which Lessee’s use of the Premises is impaired, from the date of the damage until completion of repairs plus one (1) calendar month. Lessee shall not be entitled to any compensation of damages for loss in the use of all or part of the Premises and/or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such damage, repair, replacement or reconstruction.

 

Total Condemnation

 

Section 7.06.         Should, during the term of this Lease or any renewal or extension thereof, title and possession of all of the Premises be taken under the power of eminent domain by any public or quasi-public agency or entity, this Lease shall terminate as of 12:01 A.M. on the date actual physical possession of the Premises is taken by the agency or entity exercising the power of eminent domain and both Lessor and Lessee shall thereafter be released from all obligations, except those specified in Section 7.10 of this Lease, under this Lease.

 

Termination Option for Partial Condemnation

 

Section 7.07.         Should, during the term of this Lease or any extension thereof, title and possession of only a portion of the Premises be taken under the power of eminent domain by any public or quasi-public agency or entity, Lessee may, at Lessee’s option, terminate this Lease if more than 35 percent of the floor space or more than 55 percent in value of the Premises is taken under the power of eminent domain. Lessee shall exercise its option by giving written notice to Lessor within 30 days after actual

 

17



 

physical possession of the portion subject to the eminent domain power is taken by the agency or entity exercising that power. This Lease shall terminate as of 12:01 A.M. on the date the notice is deemed given to Lessor but the rent specified in Article 2 of this Lease shall be reduced in the manner specified in Section 7.08 below from the date of taking to the date of termination of the lease.

 

Partial Condemnation Without Termination

 

Section 7.08.         Should Lessee fail to exercise the option described in Section 7.06 of this Lease or should the portion of the Premises taken under the power of eminent domain be insufficient to give rise to the option described in Section 7.07 of this Lease, then; in that event:

 

(a)           This Lease shall terminate as to the portion of the Premises taken by eminent domain as of 12:01 A.M. on the day, herein called the “date of taking,” actual physical possession of that portion of the Premises is taken by the agency or entity exercising the power of eminent domain;

 

(b)           The rent specified in Article 2 of this Lease shall, after the date of taking, be reduced by an amount that bears the same ratio to the rent specified in Article 2 of this Lease as the square footage floor space of the portion of said premise taken under the power of eminent domain bears to the total square footage floor space of the Premises as of the date of this Lease; and

 

(c)           Lessor, at Lessor’s own cost and expense, will remodel and reconstruct the building remaining on the portion of the Premises not taken by eminent domain into a single efficient architectural unit as soon after the date of taking, or before, as can be reasonably done; provided, however, that the rent specified in this Lease shall not be abated or reduced, except as provided in subparagraph (b) of this section, during such remodeling and reconstruction.

 

Condemnation Award

 

Section 7.09.         Should, during the term of this Lease or any renewal or extension thereof, title and possession of all or any portion of the Premises be taken under the power of eminent domain by any public or quasi-public agency or entity, the portion of the compensation or damages for the taking awarded to each of the parties to this Lease, Lessor and Lessee, shall belong to and be the sole property of the party Lessor or Lessee, to whom it is awarded. Lessee shall be entitled to that portion of the compensation or damages awarded for the eminent domain taking that represents (i) reasonable value of Lessee’s rights under this Lease for the unexpired term of this Lease and (ii) the cost or loss sustained by Lessee because of the removal of Lessee’s trade fixtures, equipment and furnishings from the portion of the Premises taken by eminent domain.

 

18

ARTICLE 8.  DEFAULT, ASSIGNMENT, AND TERMINATION

 

Subleasing or Assigning as Breach

 

Section 8.01.         Lessee shall not encumber, assign, or otherwise transfer this Lease, any right or interest in this Lease, or any right or interest in the Premises or any of the improvements that may now or hereafter be constructed or installed on the Premises without the express written consent of Lessor first had and obtained. Neither shall Lessee sublet the Premises or any part thereof or allow any other person, other than Lessee’s patrons, agents, servants, and employees, to occupy the Premises or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Lessor. The consent of Lessor to any assignment of Lessee’s interest in this Lease or the subletting by Lessee of the Premises or parts of the Premises shall not be unreasonably withheld. A consent by Lessor to one assignment, one subletting, or one occupation of the Premises by another person shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, or occupation of the Premises by another person. Any encumbrance, assignment, transfer, or subletting without the prior written consent of Lessor, whether it be voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, is void and shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate this Lease. Notwithstanding the above, Lessee may assign or sublease the Premises, or portions thereof, to a subsidiary, affiliate or parent of Lessee. Such permitted assignment shall not relieve Lessee or any person who has personally guaranteed Lessee’s performance of this Lease from any liability under this Lease or any such guarantee.

 

Lessee’s Default

 

Section 8.02.         The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default under this Lease by Lessee:

 

(a)                                 Non-curable Defaults: (i)  The vacation or abandonment of any substantial portion of the Premises by Lessee for a period of five (5) business days or longer;

 

19



 

(ii)     Any involuntary transfer of Lessee’s interest in this Lease or any voluntary transfer, attempted or actual, of Lessee’s interest in this Lease, without Lessor’s prior written consent, in violation of Section 8.01;

 

(iii)    If the leasehold interest of Lessee is levied upon under execution or is attached by process of law and said levy or attachment is not promptly released;

 

(iv)    If: (1) all or substantially all of the Lessee’s assets are placed in the hands of a receiver or trustee, and such receivership or trusteeship continues for a period of sixty (60) days, or

 

(2)   if Lessee makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or is adjudicated a bankrupt, or

 

(3)   if Lessee institutes any proceedings under any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or under any other act relating to the subject of bankruptcy wherein Lessee seeks to be adjudicated a bankrupt, be discharged of its debts, or effect a plan of liquidation, composition, arrangement or reorganization, or

 

(4)   if any involuntary proceeding is filed against Lessee under any such bankruptcy laws and Lessee consents thereto or acquiesces therein by pleading or default,

 

then any such act shall be deemed a breach of this Lease, and neither this Lease nor any interest in and to the Premises shall become an asset in any of such proceedings and, in any such event, and in addition to any and all rights or remedies of Lessor hereunder or provided by law, this Lease shall terminate automatically as of the date on which any one or more of the above-described occurrences takes place. In such event, it shall be lawful for Lessor to re-enter the Premises and take possession thereof and remove all persons and all of Lessee’s personal property, fixtures, equipment, alterations, improvements and utility installations therefrom, and Lessee shall have no further claim to the Premises or under this Lease. Nothing contained herein shall limit or prejudice the right of Lessor to recover damages by reason of any such termination equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, such damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount is greater, equal to, or less than the amount of damages recoverable under the provisions of this Article. However, the foregoing provisions in this Article shall be subject to the Bankruptcy Code, as heretofore and hereafter amended.

 

(b)           Curable Defaults: (i)  The failure by Lessee to make any payment of Basic Rent, Additional Rent or any other payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder as and when due and which shall continue for a period of ten (10) business days after written notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee; provided however, any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under the California Code of Civil Procedure or any other law, regulation or ordinance; or

 

(ii)     The failure by Lessee to observe or perform any non-monetary covenants, conditions or provisions of this lease to be observed or performed by Lessee, other than

 

20



 

the aforementioned non-curable defaults, within thirty (30) days after Lessee has been given written notice of such failure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessee cannot reasonably cure such default within thirty (30) days, Lessee shall not be in default hereunder so long as Lessee commences to cure the default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and in good faith pursues such cure to completion.

 

Lessors Default

 

Section 8.03.         (a)  Lessor shall be in default if it fails or refuses to perform any provision of this Lease that it is obligated to perform and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Lessee detailing such failure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessor cannot reasonably cure such default within thirty (30) days, Lessor shall not be in default hereunder so long as Lessor commences to cure the default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and in good faith pursues such cure to completion.

 

(b)           If Lessor is in default hereunder, and as a consequence Lessee recovers a money judgment against Lessor, such judgment shall be satisfied only out of the proceeds of sale received on execution of the judgment and levy against the right, title, and interest of Lessor in the Premises, and out of rent or other income from such real property receivable by Lessor or out of the consideration received by Lessor from the sale or other disposition of all or any part of Lessor’s right, title, and interest in the Premises. Neither Lessor, nor any partner, agent, officer, director or employee of Lessor shall be personally liable for any portion of such a judgment.

 

Abandonment

 

Section 8.04.         If Lessee vacates or abandons the Premises, this Lease shall continue in effect unless and until expressly terminated by Lessor, and Lessor shall have all of the remedies provided by this Lease or by law, including without limitation, the right to maintain Lessee’s right to possession and to recover Rent as it becomes due hereunder. Lessor shall not be deemed to have terminated this Lease other than by written notice of termination from Lessor. At any time subsequent to vacation or abandonment of the Premises by Lessee, Lessor may give notice of termination and shall thereafter have all of the rights hereinafter set forth.

 

Termination

 

Section 8.05.         Following the occurrence of any default, Lessor shall have the right, so long as the default continues, to terminate this Lease by written notice to Lessee setting forth: (a) the default; (b) the requirements to cure it; and (c) a demand for possession, which shall be effective in accordance with the notice provisions specified in Section 9.04.

 

Possession

 

Section 8.06.         Following termination under Section 8.05, without prejudice to any other remedies Lessor may have by reason of Lessee’s default or of such termination,

 

21



 

Lessor may then or at any time thereafter, (a) peaceably re-enter the Premises, or any part thereof, upon voluntary surrender by Lessee, or expel or remove Lessee therefrom and any other persons occupying them, using such legal proceedings as are then available; (b) repossess and enjoy the Premises, or relet the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms, which may be for a term extending beyond the Term, at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Lessor in its sole discretion shall determine, with the right to make reasonable alterations and repairs to the Premises; and (c) remove all personal property therefrom. Lessee hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future law in the event of Lessee’s being evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or in the event of Lessor’s obtaining possession of the Premises, or by reason of the violation by Lessee of any of the items, covenants or conditions, of this Lease, or otherwise.

 

Recovery

 

Section 8.07.         Following termination under Section 8.05, Lessor shall have all the rights and remedies of a Lessor provided by Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code. The amount of damages which Lessor may recover following termination shall include: (a) the worth at the time of the award of the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination; (b) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of the award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided; (c) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of rental loss Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; and (d) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all detriment proximately caused by Lessee’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease. The “worth at the time of the award” of the amounts referred to in (a) and (b) above shall be computed by allowing interest at the maximum rate permitted by law. The “worth at the time of the award” of the amount referred to in (c) above shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one (1 %) percent.

 

Additional Remedies

 

Section 8.08.         In addition to the foregoing remedies, Lessor shall, so long as this Lease is not terminated, have the right to remedy any default of Lessee, to maintain or improve the Premises without terminating this Lease, to incur expenses on behalf of Lessee in seeking a new sublessee, or to cause a receiver to be appointed to administer the Premises and new or existing subleases, and to add to the Rent payable hereunder all of Lessor’s reasonable costs in so doing, with interest at the maximum rate permitted by law.

 

Other

 

Section 8.09.         If Lessee causes or threatens to cause a breach of any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions contained in this Lease, Lessor shall be entitled to retain all sums held by Lessor, by any trustee or in any account provided for

 

22



 

herein, to enjoin such breach or threatened breach, and to invoke any right and remedy allowed at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise as though re-entry, summary proceedings and other remedies were not provided for in this Lease.

 

Cumulative

 

Section 8.10.         Each right and remedy of Lessor provided for in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this Lease, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Lessor of any or all other rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing in law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.

 

No Waiver

 

Section 8.11.         No failure by Lessor or Lessee to insist upon the strict performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial payment of Rent during the. continuance of any such breach shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of any such term. Efforts by Lessor to mitigate the damages caused by Lessee’s breach of this Lease shall not be construed to be a waiver of Lessor’s right to recover damages under this Article. Nothing in this Article affects the right of Lessor to indemnification by Lessee for liability arising prior to the termination of this Lease for personal injuries or property damage.

 

Written Action

 

Section 8.12.         No act or thing done by Lessor or its agents during the Term hereof shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a surrender of the premises shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by Lessor. Neither the reference in this Lease to any particular remedy nor the pursuit of any particular remedy shall preclude Lessor from any other remedy Lessor might have, either at law or in equity.

 

Replacement of Statutory Notice Requirements

 

Section 8.13.         When this Lease requires service of a notice, that notice shall replace rather than supplement any equivalent or similar statutory notice, including any notices required by Code of Civil Procedure section 1161 or any similar or successor statute. When a statute requires service of a notice in a particular manner, service of that notice (or a similar notice required by this Lease) in the manner required by Section 9.04 shall replace and satisfy the statutory service-of-notice procedures, including those required by Code of Civil Procedure section 1162 or any similar or successor statute.

 

Continuation of Lease in Effect

 

Section 8.14.         Lessor shall have the remedy described in Civil Code section 1951.4, which provides that, when a Lessee has the right to sublet or assign (subject

 

23



 

only to reasonable limitations), the Lessor may continue the lease in effect after the Lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due. Accordingly, if Lessor does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Lessee, Lessor may enforce all of Lessor’s rights and remedies under this Lease, including the night to recover all Rent as it becomes due.

 

Efforts To Relet

 

Section 8.15.         For purposes of this Article 8, Lessee’s right to possession shall not be considered to have been terminated by Lessor’s efforts to relet the. Premises, by Lessor’s acts of maintenance or preservation with respect to the Premises, or by appointment of a receiver to protect Lessor’s interests under this Lease. This list is merely illustrative of acts that may be performed by Lessor without terminating Lessee’s right to possession.

 

ARTICLE 9.  MISCELLANEOUS

 

Force Majeure - Unavoidable Delays

 

Section 9.01.         Should the performance of any act required by this Lease to be performed by either Lessor or Lessee be prevented or delayed by reason of an act of God, strike, lockout, labor troubles, inability to secure materials, restrictive governmental laws or regulations, or any other cause except financial inability, not the fault of the party required to perform the act, the time for performance of the act will be extended for a period equivalent to the period of delay and performance of the act during the period of delay will be excused; provided, however, that nothing contained in this section shall excuse the prompt payment of rent or other sums by Lessee as required by this Lease or the performance of any act rendered difficult solely because of the financial condition of the party, Lessor or Lessee, required to perform the act.

(b)           If Lessor is made a party defendant to any litigation concerning this Lease or the leased Premises or the occupancy thereof by Lessee, then Lessee shall hold Lessor harmless from all liability by reason of said litigation, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses incurred by Lessor in any such litigation, whether or not any such litigation is prosecuted to judgment, provided however, it is agreed between Lessor and Lessee that if the litigation referred to in this Section arises out of no act, fault, or negligence of the Lessee, there shall be no obligation on the part of Lessee to hold harmless the Lessor from said litigation.

 

24



 

(c)           If Lessee breaches any term of this Lease, Lessor may employ an attorney or attorneys to protect Lessor’s rights hereunder, and in the event of such employment following any breach by Lessee, Lessee shall pay Lessor reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses incurred by Lessor, whether or not an action is actually commenced against Lessee by reason of said breach.

LEASE AGREEMENT

 

BY THIS LEASE dated February 1, 2001, SANTA MARIA BUILDING PARTNERSHIP, a California general partnership, herein called “Lessor,” leases to COASTAL RADIATION ONCOLOGY MEDICAL GROUP, INC., a California corporation, herein called “Lessee,” that certain real property, herein called “the Premises,” in the City of Santa Maria, County of Santa Barbara, State of California, commonly known as 314 South Stratford Avenue, Santa Maria, California, and more particularly described in Exhibit A, attached hereto.

 

ARTICLE 1.  TERM OF LEASE

 

Original Term

 

Section 1.01.  This Lease shall be for a term of fifteen (15) years, commencing on February 1, 2001, and ending on January 31, 2016.

 

Extended Term

 

Section 1.02.  Should Lessee perform all the terms and conditions of this Lease and provided Lessee is not then in default under the terms of this Lease, Lessee may extend this Lease for two (2) additional, separate terms of ten (10) years each, commencing on expiration of the preceding term, by giving Lessor written notice of Lessee’s desire to extend the term hereof not less than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to expiration of the preceding term.  This option to extend the term of this Lease is personal to Lessee and may not be transferred by Lessee without Lessor’s prior written consent.

 

Hold Over

 

Section 1.03.  Should Lessee hold over and continue in possession of the Premises after expiration of the term of this Lease or any extension thereof, Lessee’s continued occupancy of the Premises shall be considered a month-to-month tenancy subject to all the terms and conditions of this Lease, except that the base rent shall be in an amount equal to 100% of the last monthly rent.  If Lessee fails to surrender the Premises upon the expiration of this Lease, Lessee shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from all loss or liability, including without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded on or resulting from such failure to surrender.

 

ARTICLE 2.  RENT

 

Base Rent

 

Section 2.01.  For the first year of the term hereof, Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor a fixed rental for the use and occupancy of the Premises of Twelve Thousand Six Hundred Sixty Nine Dollars ($12,669.00) per month, payable on the first (1st) day of each and every calendar month commencing on February 1, 2001, at 316 S. Stratford Avenue, Santa Maria, CA 93454, or at such other place or places as Lessor may from time to time designate by written notice delivered to Lessee.

 



 

Rent Adjustment

 

Section 2.02.  The Base Rent provided for in Section 2.01 above shall be increased by three percent (3%) one year after the commencement of the term hereof and annually thereafter on the same date each calendar year.

Vault Sq.  Ft.  X (Market Rent x 2.67)  +  Medical Sq.  Ft. X (Market Rent)
(divided by) total leaseable square footage

 

= Base Rent per square foot

 

As used in the above formula, “Vault Sq. Ft.” means the total square footage of the treatment vaults, other than any treatment vaults added at the Lessee’s cost and expense.  “Market Rent” is the current fair market rent per square foot for medical office space in the City of Santa Maria, California on a triple net basis.  This space will be leased (not subleased) and will be comparable in size, location and quality to the Premises.  “Medical Sq.  Ft” refers to all leaseable space in the Premises other than Vault Sq. Ft.  “Total leaseable square footage” shall be the total leaseable square footage in the Premises determined by survey.

 

In the event that the parties cannot agree on the Market Rent for the first year of an extension term, then within ten (10) days after the Rent Meeting, Lessor and Lessee shall each specify in writing to the other party its determination of such Market Rent Rate.  If either party fails to submit its written determination in accordance with this Section, the Base Rent for the extension term shall be the determination submitted by the other party.

 

(b)           Within ten (10) days after the parties have exchanged written determinations, Lessor and Lessee shall mutually select three commercial realtors within the City of Santa Maria to determine the Market Rent.  Each such realtor shall (i) be disinterested; (ii) be qualified to determine the fair market rental rates for real estate similar to the Premises; and (iii) have been actively engaged in the leasing of comparable medical space in the City of Santa Maria for a period of not less than five (5) continuous years immediately preceding his or her appointment.  If Lessor and Lessee are unable to mutually select three such commercial realtors, then either party, on behalf of both, may request such appointment by the President of the local chapter of the California Realtors Association.  If such Association is not then in existence, either party, on behalf of both, may request such appointment by the presiding judge of the Superior Court of the Judicial District in which the property is located.  Each such realtor shall submit their respective determinations of Market Rent for the area in writing to both parties and shall provide the basis for such determination.

 

2



 

(c)           The average of the three written determinations of Market Rent prepared by the realtors so selected shall be utilized to determine the Base Rent of the Premises for the initial year of the extension term.  The costs of the three realtors’ services shall be shared equally by the parties.  The decision of the realtors shall be binding upon the Lessor and Lessee.

 

(d)           In the event that the parties have not agreed on the Market Rent or the realtors have not been selected and the Market Rent determined before the commencement of the extension term, Lessee shall continue to pay the same lease rate in effect at the end of the lease year immediately preceding the commencement of the extension term.  Lessee shall pay such sum as Base Rent until the initial Base Rent for the extension term is determined, at which time Lessee shall promptly pay Lessor any additional rent due by reason of any increase in the Base Rent during the extension term over the Base Rent previously paid by Lessee.  If the Base Rent actually paid by Lessee during this period is ultimately determined to be more than the revised Base Rent as finally determined as above provided, any such over payment shall constitute a credit against the revised Base Rent, and that credit shall be applied to the following month or months until such credit is exhausted.

 

(e)           The Base Rent as above determined shall be subject to increase at the end of the first lease year of the extension term in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02 above.

 

Taxes, Utilities and Operating Expenses as Additional Rent

 

Section 2.03.  In addition to the rent specified in Sections 2.01 and 2.02 above, Lessee shall pay, as additional rent, all Utilities, Insurance, Personal and Real Property Taxes and Operating Expenses directly to the vendor or creditor for such items, or otherwise as set forth in this Section 2.03.  If Lessee fails to pay any such amount, Lessor may in its sole discretion, advance monies to pay such items, and demand reimbursement in full from Lessee (referred to as “additional rent” herein), including without limitation any cost, expense, assessment or charge, as well as interest as provided in this Lease.

 

Utilities

 

(a)           Lessee shall pay, and hold Lessor and the property of Lessor including the Premises, free and harmless from, all charges for the furnishing of gas, water, sewer, electricity, telephone service, garbage and trash removal and other public utilities during the entire term of this Lease or any extension thereof.  All such charges shall be paid by Lessee directly to the provider of the service and shall be paid as they become due and payable but in any event before delinquency.

 

Lessee agrees that Lessor shall not be liable for damages, by abatement of Rent or otherwise, for failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any service (including telephone and telecommunication services) or for diminution in the quality or quantity of any service when the failure, delay, or diminution is entirely or partially caused by:

 

(i)      Breakage repairs, replacements, or improvements;

 

(ii)     Strike, lockout, or other labor trouble;

 

3



 

(iii)    Inability to secure electricity, gas, water, or other fuel at the Building after reasonable effort to do so;

 

(iv)    Accident or casualty;

 

(v)     Act or default of Lessee or other parties; or

 

(vi)    Any other cause beyond Lessor’s reasonable control.

 

Such failure, delay, or diminution shall not be considered to constitute an eviction or a disturbance of Lessee’s use and possession of the Premises or relieve Lessee from paying rent or performing any of its obligations under this Lease.  Lessor shall not be liable under any circumstances for a loss of or injury to property or for injury to or interference with Lessee’s business, including loss of profits through, in connection with, or incidental to a failure to furnish any of the utilities or services under this Section 2.03.  Lessor may comply with mandatory or voluntary controls or guidelines promulgated by any government entity relating to the use or conservation of energy, water, gas, light, or electricity or the reduction of automobile or other emissions without creating any liability of Lessor to Lessee under this Lease as long as compliance with voluntary controls or guidelines does not materially and unreasonably interfere with Lessee’s use of the Premises.

 

Personal Property Taxes

 

(b)           Lessee shall pay before they become delinquent all taxes, assessments and other charges levied or imposed by any governmental entity on the furniture, trade fixtures, equipment and other personal property placed by Lessee in, on or about the Premises.

 

Real Property Taxes

 

(c)           Lessee shall pay all real property taxes and general and special assessments on the Premises, including any increases in such taxes and assessments, before they become delinquent.

 

The real property taxes and assessments levied against the Premises for the first and last years of the term hereof shall be prorated between Lessor and Lessee for purposes of this section as of 12:01 A.M. on the date of commencement and termination respectively of this Lease.

 

Lessee shall have the right, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, to protest or contest in good faith the amount of any tax or assessment.  As a condition precedent to Lessee’s right to protest such taxes or assessments, Lessee shall either pay the disputed amount and file for refund or deposit with Lessor the disputed amount plus one (1) years interest at the rate then charged by said county plus any estimated penalty which Lessor may incur by non-payment.  Upon such payment or deposit, Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee in prosecuting such dispute.

 

Operating Expenses

 

(d)           Lessee shall pay all Operating Expenses attributable to the occupation and use of the Premises.

The term “Operating Expenses” as used in this Lease shall Mean all expenses, costs and fees attributable to Lessee’s use and occupancy of the Premises under this Lease, including but not limited to:

 

(i)      Miscellaneous operating costs, maintenance, security services, replacement for normal wear and tear, repair, re-striping and resurfacing of paving, insurance (including public liability and property damage, rent continuation, boiler and machinery and extended coverage insurance), and cleaning of the Premises and all parts thereof and all furnishings, fixtures and equipment therein.  The term “Operating Expenses” shall include the annual amortization of costs (including financing at the then prevailing rate, if any) of any improvements, equipment, or devices required by any governmental authority or incurred as a labor saving measure or to reduce operation or maintenance expenses with respect to the Premises where such costs are amortized over the useful life thereof.

 

(ii)     Operating Expenses shall also include licenses, permits, charges and assessments which are levied, assessed, imposed or collected by any governmental authority or improvement or assessment district during any calendar year with respect to the Premises and Lessee’s use and occupancy of the Premises and the land on which the premises are located, and any improvements, fixtures, equipment and other property of Lessor, real or personal, used in connection with the operation or maintenance of the Premises (computed on a cash basis or as if paid in permitted installments regardless of whether actually so paid), as well as any tax which shall be levied or assessed in addition to or in lieu of any tax described in Sections 2.03 (b) or (c) above (it being acknowledged that because of the passage of laws which limit increases in property taxes, government agencies may impose fees, charges, assessments or other levies in connection with services previously furnished without charge or at a lesser charge and which were previously paid for in whole or in part, directly or indirectly by real property taxes), any gross excise tax or other similar tax, and any costs or expenses of contesting any such taxes, licenses, charges or assessments, but excluding any federal or state income or gift tax or any franchise, capital stock, estate or Inheritance taxes.

 

Late Charges

 

Section 2.04.  If any installment of rent or other payment required to be paid by Lessee to Lessor is not paid within ten (10) days of the date on which it is due, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the late payment shall be due from Lessee to Lessor to compensate Lessor for the additional administrative work caused by such default and to compensate Lessor for the loss of use of such defaulted payment.  The late charge herein shall be in addition to any other remedy which Lessor may have hereunder for such default.

 

Interest on Late Payments

 

Section 2.05.  If any payment required to be paid by Lessee to Lessor is not paid within ten (10) days of the date on which it is due, such payment shall bear interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date it became due until it is paid by Lessee to Lessor.

Lessee shall, at Lessee’s sole expense and with counsel reasonably acceptable to Lessor, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lessor and Lessor’s shareholders, directors, officers, employees, partners, affiliates, agents, successors, and assigns with respect to all losses arising out of or resulting from the release of any Hazardous Material in or about the Premises or the Building, or the violation of any Environmental Law, by Lessee or Lessee’s agents, assignees, sublessees, contractors, or invitees.  This indemnification applies whether or not the concentrations of any such Hazardous Material is material, the concentrations exceed state or federal maximum contaminant or action levels, or any governmental agency has issued a cleanup order.  This indemnification includes:

This indemnification shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

 

If the presence of any Hazardous Material brought onto the Premises or the Building by Lessee or Lessee’s employees, agents, contractors, or invitees results in contamination of the Building, Lessee shall promptly take all necessary actions to remove or remediate such Hazardous Materials, whether or not they are present at concentrations exceeding state or federal maximum concentration or action levels, or any governmental agency has issued a cleanup order, at Lessee’s sole expense, to return the Premises or the Building to the condition that existed before the introduction of such Hazardous Material.  Lessee shall first obtain Lessor’s approval of the proposed removal or remedial action.  This provision does not limit the indemnification obligation set forth in Section 3.04.

 

Compliance With Law

 

Section 3.05.  Lessee shall at Lessee’s own cost and expense comply with all statues, ordinances, regulations, existing use permits and requirements of all governmental entities, both federal and state and county or municipal, relating to Lessee’s use and occupancy of the Premises whether such statutes, ordinances, regulations, and requirements be now in force or hereinafter enacted.  The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction, or the admission by Lessee in a proceeding brought against Lessee by any government entity, that Lessee has violated any such statute, ordinance, regulation, or requirement shall be conclusive as between Lessor and Lessee and shall be grounds for termination of this Lease by Lessor.  Lessor agrees that any requirements of the Municipal, State, or Federal authorities which require alteration of Lessor’s building shall not be the responsibility of Lessee, unless required because of an act of Lessee or a use of the Premises by Lessee.

 

ARTICLE 4.  ALTERATIONS AND REPAIRS

 

Maintenance

 

Section 4.01.  Lessee shall at his own cost and expense keep and maintain all portions of the Premises as well as all improvements on the Premises and all facilities appurtenant to the Premises, including but not limited to electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning, sewage systems, roof and outer walls in good order and repair and in as safe and clean a condition as they were when received by Lessee from Lessor, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

 

Should Lessee fail to maintain the Premises as set forth above, Lessor may, at Lessor’s option, perform or contract for the performance of such maintenance for and on behalf of Lessee.  In such event, Lessee shall promptly on written demand of Lessor reimburse Lessor for all cost and expense incurred by Lessor in performing Lessee’s obligations hereunder plus interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date expended by Lessor to the date of repayment by Lessee.

Non-structural Changes

 

(a)           Lessee may, at its own expense, make nonstructural changes to the interior of the Premises (eg. revisions to interior decor, carpeting, painting, wall covering, etc.) provided that the value of the Premises shall not be diminished thereby.  Further provided, that any non-structural changes exceeding $5,000 in total cost must first be approved by the Lessor prior to commencement of such changes.

 

Structural Changes

 

(b)           If Lessee desires either (i) interior changes to the Premises of a structural nature (e.g. relocating interior walls); or (ii) changes to the facade or exterior walls or roof, or (iii) desires the addition of square footage to the Premises (i.e. addition of Medical square footage or Vault square footage) then Lessee shall submit detailed plans and specifications for any proposed alteration or improvement to the Premises for Lessor’s review and approval.  The Lessor shall have the option to approve or deny the request for structural changes in writing within 30 (thirty) days of receipt of such request, in the reasonable discretion of the Lessor.  The failure of the Lessor to disapprove or object to such plans and specifications or any substantial changes therein within said thirty (30) days, shall constitute Lessor’s disapproval of the same.  Subsequent to such approval, minor changes in work or materials not affecting the general character of the improvements need not be approved by Lessor but a copy of the altered plans and specifications reflecting such changes must be promptly given to Lessor.  If approved, the Lessor shall have the option to pay for the changes, or not, in its sole discretion.  If the Lessor chooses to pay for the changes, then the parties shall meet immediately to negotiate an adjustment to the Base Rent to go into effect at the completion of the alterations.  If the Lessor chooses not to pay for the alterations, the Lessee has the option to proceed with the alterations, in its sole discretion and at its expense, without paying any amount of rent for the added square footage for the remaining Original Term, only the expenses attributable to the additional space.

 

Supervision of Alterations

 

(c)           All structural changes to the Premises involving load bearing walls which require Lessor’s approval shall be made under the supervision of a licensed architect or licensed structural engineer in accordance with the detailed plans and specifications submitted to Lessor as above provided.

 

Notices of Non-Responsibility

 

(d)           Lessee shall provide Lessor with at least twenty (20) days written notice prior to commencing any alteration, addition or change to the Premises requiring Lessor’s approval and Lessor shall have the right to enter the Premises to post Notices of Non-Responsibility as provided by law.

Quality of Work; Ownership

 

(e)           All work with respect to any alteration, addition or change must be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and diligently prosecuted to completion to the end that the Premises shall at all times be a complete unit, except during the period of work.  Furthermore, any and all alterations, additions, improvements, and fixtures, except furniture and trade fixtures, made or placed in or on the Premises by Lessee or any other person shall on expiration or sooner termination of this Lease become the property of Lessor and remain on the Premises; provided, however, that Lessor shall have the option on expiration or sooner termination of this Lease of requiring Lessee, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, to remove any or all such alterations, additions, improvements, or fixtures from the Premises (excluding vaults).  All such changes, alterations, and improvements shall be performed and completed strictly in accordance with the laws and ordinances relating thereto, and in such a manner as not to impede access to the Premises.

 

Lessee shall not be the cause or object of any liens or allow such liens to exist, attach to, be placed on, or encumber Lessor’s or Lessee’s interest in the Premises, Building, or Real Property by operation of law or otherwise.  Lessee shall not suffer or permit any lien of mechanics, material suppliers, or others to be placed against the Premises, with respect to work or services performed or claimed to have been furnished to Lessee or the Premises.  If any such lien attaches or Lessee receives notice of any such lien, Lessee shall cause the lien to be immediately released and removed of record.  Despite any other provision of this Lease, if the lien is not released and removed within 10 (ten) days after Lessor delivers notice of the lien to Lessee, Lessor may immediately take all action necessary to release and remove the lien, without any duty to investigate the validity of it.  All expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred by Lessor in connection with the lien shall be considered additional rent under this Lease and be immediately due and payable by Lessee.

 

Additional Requirements

 

(f)            If Lessee pays for the changes, the following provisions shall apply to such changes:

 

(i)      The exterior of the improvements shall be compatible with the design and appearance of the Premises as it exists at the time of execution of this Lease.

 

(ii)     All work required in the construction of the structural changes, including any site preparation work, utility installations as well as actual construction shall be performed only pursuant to a contract entered into by Lessee with a competent general contractor and sub-contractors duly licensed as such under the Laws of the State of California, with proof of adequate liability and workers compensation insurance.

 

(iii)    The approval by Lessor of any plans and specifications under this paragraph refers only to the conformity of such plans and specifications to the general architectural plan for the Building.  By approving such plans and specifications, Lessor assumes no liability or responsibility therefor and for any defect in any structure constructed from such plans or specifications.

Inspection by Lessor

 

Section 4.03.  Lessee shall permit Lessor or his agents to enter into and upon the Premises during business hours for the purpose of inspecting the same, or for the purpose of posting notices of non-responsibility for alterations, additions or repairs or for the purpose of placing upon the property in which the Premises are located any usual or ordinary “for sale” signs, without any rebate of rent and without any liability to Lessee for any loss of occupation or quiet enjoyment of the Premises thereby occasioned.  Lessee shall permit Lessor, at any time within one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of this Lease, to place upon the Premises any usual or ordinary “to let” or “to lease” signs, provided that such entries made by Lessor hereunder shall not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Lessee’s business.

 

Surrender of Premises

 

Section 4.04.  On expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, or any extensions or renewals of this Lease, Lessee shall promptly surrender and deliver the Premises to Lessor in as good condition as they are on at the date of possession, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

 

ARTICLE 5.  INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE

 

Hold-Harmless Clause

 

Section 5.01.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, Lessee, on its behalf and on behalf of its successors and assignees, waives all claims (in law, equity, or otherwise) against Lessor, its officers, directors, principals, agents, successors, assignees and agent arising out of, knowingly and voluntarily assumes the risk of, and agrees that Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for any of the following acts or failure to act set forth in paragraphs (a) to (c) below.  Lessor shall not be liable under this clause regardless of whether the liability results from any active or passive act, error, omission, or negligence of any of the Lessor; or is based on claims in which liability without fault or strict liability is imposed or sought to be imposed on any of the Lessor.  This exculpation clause shall not apply to claims against Lessor to the extent that a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction establishes that the injury, loss, damage, or destruction was proximately caused by Lessor’s fraud, willful injury to person or property, or violation of law.

 

(a)           The death or injury of any person or persons, including Lessee or any person who is an employee or agent of Lessee, or by reason of the damage to or destruction of any property, including property owned by Lessee or any person who is an employee or agent of Lessee, and caused or allegedly caused by either the condition of the Premises, or some act or omission of Lessee or of some agent, contractor, employee, servant, sublessee, or concessionaire of Lessee on the Premises;

 

(b)           Any work performed on the Premises or materials furnished to the Premises at the instance or request of Lessee or any agent or employee of Lessee;

Liability Insurance

 

Section 5.02.  Lessee shall, at its own cost and expense, obtain and maintain during the entire term of this Lease and any renewals or extensions thereof, a broad form comprehensive coverage policy of public liability insurance issued by an insurance company or companies rated by Best as A+ or better and authorized to conduct insurance business in the State of California and insuring Lessee and Lessor against loss or liability caused by or connected with Lessee’s occupation and use of the Premises under this Lease in amounts not less than:

 

(a)           $1,000,000.00 combined single limit for injury to or death as a result of any accident or incident.

 

(b)           $2,000,000.00 for damage to or destruction of any property of others.

 

Such public liability insurance, and property damage insurance shall insure performance by Lessee of the indemnity provisions of Section 5.01 above.  Both parties shall be named as co-insured, and the policy shall contain cross liability endorsements, if available.  The policy shall be primary insurance for all claims under it and provide that any insurance carried by Lessor is strictly excess, secondary, and noncontributing with any insurance carried by Lessee.  Lessee may provide such insurance under a single policy or under one or more separate policies.

 

Every three (3) years, Lessor may increase the amount of public liability and property damage insurance coverage required hereunder, if at that time the existing coverage is not adequate in the opinion of Lessor’s insurance broker or lender(s).

 

Fire and Casualty Insurance

 

Section 5.03.  Lessee shall, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, at all times during the term hereof, and any extensions thereof, keep all buildings, improvements and other structures on the Premises insured for their full replacement cost against loss or destruction by fire and the perils, including vandalism and malicious mischief, commonly covered under standard extended coverage endorsements in Santa Barbara County, California.  Lessor shall be named as an additional insured on all such policies and the policies shall contain a cross-liability endorsement.

 

“Full replacement cost” as used herein shall mean the actual cost of replacement for the buildings and other improvements on the Premises, as determined from time to time by Lessor.  Upon notification to Lessee in writing of Lessor’s determination of full replacement cost, Lessee shall, within thirty (30) days of such written notice, increase the amount of the insurance carried to the amount stated in the notice.

 

Business Interruption Insurance

 

Section 5.04.  Lessee shall, at all times during the term of this Lease and any extensions thereof, maintain at Lessee’s sole cost and expense a policy of business interruption insurance, ensuring the rent provided for in this Lease will be paid to Lessor for a period not less than one (1) year in the event the Premises are destroyed or damaged so as to render operation of

Lessee’s business impossible or impractical by any casualty insured against by standard fire and extended coverage insurance.

 

Lessee’s Personal Property

 

Section 5.05.  Lessee shall, at all times during the term of this Lease and any extensions thereof, maintain at Lessee’s sole cost and expense an insurance policy issued by a company acceptable to Lessor insuring for their full insurable value all furniture, fixtures, equipment and alterations or improvements made to the Premises by Lessee against loss or destruction by fire and the perils commonly covered under the standard extended coverage endorsement to fire insurance policies in Santa Barbara County.  Any loss payable under such insurance shall be payable to Lessee and shall be used to repair or replace such furniture, fixtures, equipment and alterations and improvements.

 

Cancellation Clause

 

Section 5.06.  Any policy of insurance required to be obtained and maintained by Lessee under this Article shall be written by insurance companies authorized to do business in the State of California.  Each such policy of insurance shall expressly provide that it cannot be cancelled for any reason or altered in any manner unless at least thirty (30) days prior written notice has been given to Lessor by the insurance company.

 

Deposit of Insurance with Lessor

Lessor’s Right to Procure Insurance

 

Section 5.08.  If at any time Lessee fails to procure or maintain the insurance required by this Article, Lessor may obtain that insurance and pay the premiums on it for the benefit of Lessee.  Any amounts paid by Lessor to procure or maintain insurance pursuant to this section shall be immediately due and repayable to Lessor by Lessee with the next then due installment of rent under this Lease.  Failure to repay at that time any amount expended by Lessor shall be considered the same as a failure to pay rent and a default by Lessee under this Lease.

 

Lessor’s Indemnity

 

Section 5.09.  Lessor expressly agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold Lessee harmless from all claims arising from any breath or default in the performance of any obligation to be performed by Lessor under the terms of this Lease and from and against all costs, loss, damage, legal expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any claim for indemnity brought by the Lessee under this provision shall be limited to Lessor’s interest in the

 

13



 

Premises, and Lessee shall not have recourse to any other assets of Lessor or to the assets of any partner of Lessor for such claim.

 

ARTICLE 6.  SIGNS AND TRADE FIXTURES

 

Installation and Removal of Trade Fixtures

 

Section 6.01.  Lessee shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the term of this Lease and any renewal or extension of such term, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, to install and affix in, to, or on the Premises such items, herein called “trade fixtures”, for use in Lessee’s trade or business as Lessee may, in its sole discretion, deem advisable.  Any and all such trade fixtures that can be removed without structural damage to the Premises or any building or improvement on the Premises shall remain the property of the Lessee and may be removed by Lessee at any time or times prior to the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

 

Unremoved Trade Fixtures

 

Section 6.02.  Any trade fixtures described in this Article that are not removed from the Premises by Lessee within ten (10) days after the expiration or sooner termination, regardless of cause, of this Lease shall be deemed abandoned by Lessee and shall automatically become the property of Lessor as owner of the real property to which they are affixed, unless Lessor notifies Lessee, in writing, of Lessor’s election to have Lessee remove such trade fixtures and to repair any damage caused thereby.  Upon such election by Lessor to require Lessee to remove such trade fixtures, Lessee shall have fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice in which to remove such trade fixtures and repair any damage caused by such removal.  If Lessee fails to remove such trade fixtures and repair any such damage, Lessor may do so at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, including any costs of storing such property.  Such costs and expenses, if incurred by Lessor for Lessee’s benefit, shall be promptly, upon written demand therefor, reimbursed to Lessor by Lessee, together with interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date expended by Lessor to the date of reimbursement by Lessee.

 

Signs

 

Section 6.03.  Lessee may place and maintain, or permit any other person to place and maintain any sign on the Premises providing such sign is in compliance with then existing governmental regulations.  Lessee may not place any decoration, lettering, or advertising matter on the glass of any exterior show window of the Premises.  Lessee shall maintain such sign at all times during this Lease in good appearance and repair.  On expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, all such signs not removed from the Premises by Lessee on such expiration or termination of this Lease may, without liability, be destroyed by Lessor.

ARTICLE 7.  DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION OR CONDEMNATION

 

Duty to Repair or Restore

 

Section 7.01.  If any improvements, including the buildings and other structures, located on the Premises are damaged or destroyed during the term of this Lease or any extension thereof, the damage shall be repaired as follows:

 

(a)           If the damage or destruction is caused by a peril against which fire and extended coverage insurance is required to be carried under this Lease, Lessee shall repair that damage as soon as reasonably possible and restore the Premises and improvements to substantially the same condition as existed before the damage or destruction, regardless of whether the insurance proceeds are sufficient to cover the actual cost of repair or restoration.  If insurance required to be carried by Lessee under this Lease has lapsed or not been carried, Lessee shall be solely responsible for the full cost and expense of necessary repairs and restoration.

 

(b)           If the damage or destruction is caused by a peril against which insurance is not required to be carried by this Lease, Lessor, subject to Lessor’s right to terminate this Lease described in Section 7.02, shall repair that damage as soon as reasonably possible and restore the Premises to substantially the same condition as existed before the damage or destruction.

 

(c)           Whether the damage of destruction is caused either by a peril against which fire and extended coverage insurance is required by this Lease to be carried or by a peril against which insurance is not required to be carried by this Lease, Lessee expressly waives any right under Civil Code Sections 1931-1933 to terminate this Lease for damage or destruction to the Premises.

 

Termination of Lease for Certain Losses

 

Section 7.02.  (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, if any improvements located on the Premises are damaged or destroyed to such extent it will cost more than $100,000.00 to repair or replace them, and the damage or destruction is caused by a peril against which insurance is not required to be carried by this Lease, Lessor may terminate this Lease by giving Lessee written notice of the termination.  The notice must be given within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of the damage or destruction.

 

(b)           Lessee or Lessor shall have the right to terminate this Lease under either of the following circumstances:

 

(i)      If the Premises are damaged or destroyed from any cause whatsoever, insured or uninsured, and the laws then in effect do not permit the repair or restoration of the Premises provided for in this Article; or

 

(ii)     If the Premises are damaged or destroyed from any cause whatsoever, insured or uninsured, during the last year of the term of this Lease or any extension thereof (provided Lessee has not elected before the date of damage or destruction to extend the term of this Lease in accordance with Section 1.02).

 

15



 

(c)           Either party may terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination to the other party not later than fourteen (14) days after the right to terminate accrues, and such termination shall be effective as of the date of the notice of termination.  In the event of a termination under subsection (b), Lessee shall not be entitled to collect any insurance proceeds attributable to insurance policies covering the Premises or improvements except those proceeds attributable to Lessee’s personal property and trade fixtures.

 

(d)           If this Lease is terminated pursuant to either subsection (a) or (b) above, the rent and other sums payable by Lessee to Lessor under this Lease shall be prorated as of the termination date.  If any such sums have been paid in advance by Lessee, Lessor shall refund them to Lessee for the unexpired period for which the payment has been made.

 

Time for Construction of Repairs

 

Section 7.03.  Any and all repairs and restorations of improvements required by this Article shall be commenced by Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be, within a reasonable time after the occurrence of the damage or destruction requiring the repairs or restoration; shall be diligently pursued after being commenced; and shall be completed within a reasonable time after the loss.  If Lessor is required under this Lease to perform the repairs and restoration, Lessor shall cause the repairs and restoration to be completed within 180 days after the occurrence of the event causing destruction or Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease, unless the delays are caused by events outside the control of Lessor.

 

Insurance Proceeds

 

Section 7.04.  If the damage or destruction is caused by a peril against which fire and extended coverage insurance is required to be carried and maintained under this Lease by Lessee, the proceeds of insurance shall be paid directly to the parties for the purpose of making the necessary repairs to the Premises as required under this Lease.

 

Abatement of Rent

 

Section 7.05.  In the event of repair, replacement or restoration as herein provided, the Base Rent payable under this Lease shall be abated proportionately with the degree to which Lessee’s use of the Premises is impaired, from the date of the damage until completion of repairs plus one (1) calendar month.  Lessee shall not be entitled to any compensation of damages for loss in the use of all or part of the Premises and/or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such damage, repair, replacement or reconstruction.

 

Total Condemnation

 

Section 7.06.  Should, during the term of this Lease or any renewal or extension thereof, title and possession of all of the Premises be taken under the power of eminent domain by any public or quasi-public agency or entity, this Lease shall terminate as of 12:01 A.M. on the date actual physical possession of the Premises is taken by the agency or entity exercising the power of eminent domain and both Lessor and Lessee shall thereafter be released from all obligations, except those specified in Section 7.10 of this Lease, under this Lease.

 

16



 

Termination Option for Partial Condemnation

 

Section 7.07.  Should, during the term of this Lease or any extension thereof, title and possession of only a portion of the Premises be taken under the power of eminent domain by any public or quasi-public agency or entity, Lessee may, at Lessee’s option, terminate this Lease if more than 35 percent of the floor space or more than 55 percent in value of the Premises is taken under the power of eminent domain.  Lessee shall exercise its option by giving written notice to Lessor within 30 days after actual physical possession of the portion subject to the eminent domain power is taken by the agency or entity exercising that power.  This Lease shall terminate as of 12:01 A.M. on the date the notice is deemed given to Lessor but the rent specified in Article 2 of this Lease shall be reduced in the manner specified in Section 7.08 below from the date of taking to the date of termination of the lease.

 

Partial Condemnation Without Termination

 

Section 7.08.  Should Lessee fail to exercise the option described in Section 7.06 of this Lease or should the portion of the Premises taken under the power of eminent domain be insufficient to give rise to the option described in Section 7.07 of this Lease, then, in that event:

 

(a)           This Lease shall terminate as to the portion of the Premises taken by eminent domain as of 12:01 A.M. on the day, herein called the “date of taking,” actual physical possession of that portion of the Premises is taken by the agency or entity exercising the power of eminent domain;

 

(b)           The rent specified in Article 2 of this Lease shall, after the date of taking, be reduced by an amount that bears the same ratio to the rent specified in Article 2 of this Lease as the square footage floor space of the portion of said premise taken under the power of eminent domain bears to the total square footage floor space of the Premises as of the date of this Lease; and

 

(c)           Lessor, at Lessor’s own cost and expense, will remodel and reconstruct the building remaining on the portion of the Premises not taken by eminent domain into a single efficient architectural unit as soon after the date of taking, or before, as can be reasonably done; provided, however, that the rent specified in this Lease shall not be abated or reduced, except as provided in subparagraph (b) of this section, during such remodeling and reconstruction.

 

Condemnation Award

 

Section 7.09.  Should, during the term of this Lease or any renewal or extension thereof, title and possession of all or any portion of the Premises be taken under the power of eminent domain by any public or quasi-public agency or entity, the portion of the compensation or damages for the taking awarded to each of the parties to this Lease, Lessor and Lessee, shall belong to and be the sole property of the party Lessor or Lessee, to whom it is awarded.  Lessee shall be entitled to that portion of the compensation or damages awarded for the eminent domain taking that represents (i) reasonable value of Lessee’s rights under this Lease for the unexpired term of this Lease and (ii) the cost or loss sustained by Lessee because of the removal of Lessee’s trade fixtures, equipment and furnishings from the portion of the Premises taken by eminent domain.

 

17



 

Arbitration of Condemnation Award

 

Section 7.10.  Should separate awards not be made to Lessor and Lessee for the taking by eminent domain of all or any portion of the Premises, and should Lessor and Lessee be unable to agree on the manner the total award is to be divided between them pursuant to Section 7.09 of this Lease, the proper division of the award between Lessor and Lessee shall be settled by arbitration as provided in Section 9.03.

 

Lessee’s Waiver

 

Section 7.11.  Lessee agrees that its rights to terminate this Lease due to partial condemnation are governed by this Section.  Lessee waives all rights it may have under California Code of Civil Procedure section 1265.13, or otherwise, to terminate this Lease based on a partial condemnation.

 

ARTICLE 8.  DEFAULT, ASSIGNMENT, AND TERMINATION

 

Subleasing or Assigning as Breach

 

Section 8.01.  Lessee shall not encumber, assign, or otherwise transfer this Lease, any right or interest in this Lease, or any right or interest in the Premises or any of the improvements that may now or hereafter be constructed or installed on the Premises without the express written consent of Lessor first had and obtained.  Neither shall Lessee sublet the Premises or any part thereof or allow any other person, other than Lessee’s patrons, agents, servants, and employees, to occupy the Premises or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Lessor.  The consent of Lessor to any assignment of Lessee’s interest in this Lease or the subletting by Lessee of the Premises or parts of the Premises shall not be unreasonably withheld.  A consent by Lessor to one assignment, one subletting, or one occupation of the Premises by another person shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, or occupation of the Premises by another person.  Any encumbrance, assignment, transfer, or subletting without the prior written consent of Lessor, whether it be voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, is void and shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate this Lease.  Notwithstanding the above, Lessee may assign or sublease the Premises, or portions thereof, to a subsidiary, affiliate or parent of Lessee.  Such permitted assignment shall not relieve Lessee or any person who has personally guaranteed Lessee’s performance of this Lease from any liability under this Lease or any such guarantee.

 

Lessee’s Default

 

Section 8.02.  The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default under this Lease by Lessee:

 

(a)                                 Non-curable Defaults:  (i) The vacation or abandonment of any substantial portion of the Premises by Lessee for a period of five (5) business days or longer;

 

(ii)     Any involuntary transfer of Lessee’s interest in this Lease or any voluntary transfer, attempted or actual, of Lessee’s interest in this Lease, without Lessor’s prior written consent, in violation of Section 8.01;

 

18



 

(iii)    If the leasehold interest of Lessee is levied upon under execution or is attached by process of law and said levy or attachment is not promptly released;

 

(iv)    If:  (1) all or substantially all of the Lessee’s assets are placed in the hands of a receiver or trustee, and such receivership or trusteeship continues for a period of sixty (60) days, or

 

(2)           if Lessee makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or is adjudicated a bankrupt, or

 

(3)           if Lessee institutes any proceedings under any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or under any other act relating to the subject of bankruptcy wherein Lessee seeks to be adjudicated a bankrupt, be discharged of its debts, or effect a plan of liquidation, composition, arrangement or reorganization, or

 

(4)           if any involuntary proceeding is filed against Lessee under any such bankruptcy laws and Lessee consents thereto or acquiesces therein by pleading or default,

 

then any such act shall be deemed a breach of this Lease, and neither this Lease nor any interest in and to the Premises shall become an asset in any of such proceedings and, in any such event, and in addition to any and all rights or remedies of Lessor hereunder or provided by law, this Lease shall terminate automatically as of the date on which any one or more of the above-described occurrences takes place.  In such event, it shall be lawful for Lessor to re-enter the Premises and take possession thereof and remove all persons and all of Lessee’s personal property, fixtures, equipment, alterations, improvements and utility installations therefrom, and Lessee shall have no further claim to the Premises or under this Lease.  Nothing contained herein shall limit or prejudice the right of Lessor to recover damages by reason of any such termination equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, such damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount is greater, equal to, or less than the amount of damages recoverable under the provisions of this Article.  However, the foregoing provisions in this Article shall be subject to the Bankruptcy Code, as heretofore and hereafter amended.

 

(b)           Curable Defaults:  (i) The failure by Lessee to make any payment of Basic Rent, Additional Rent or any other payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder as and when due and which shall continue for a period of ten (10) business days after written notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee; provided however, any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under the California Code of Civil Procedure or any other law, regulation or ordinance; or

 

(ii)     The failure by Lessee to observe or perform any non-monetary covenants, conditions or provisions of this lease to be observed or performed by Lessee, other than the aforementioned non-curable defaults, within thirty (30) days after Lessee has been given written notice of such failure.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessee cannot reasonably cure such default within thirty (30) days, Lessee shall not be in default hereunder so long as Lessee commences to cure the default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and in good faith pursues such cure to completion.

 

19



 

Lessors Default

 

Section 8.03.  (a) Lessor shall be in default if it fails or refuses to perform any provision of this Lease that it is obligated to perform and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Lessee detailing such failure.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessor cannot reasonably cure such default within thirty (30) days, Lessor shall not be in default hereunder so long as Lessor commences to cure the default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and in good faith pursues such cure to completion.

 

(b)           If Lessor is in default hereunder, and as a consequence Lessee recovers a money judgment against Lessor, such judgment shall be satisfied only out of the proceeds of sale received on execution of the judgment and levy against the right, title, and interest of Lessor in the Premises, and out of rent or other income from such real property receivable by Lessor or out of the consideration received by Lessor from the sale or other disposition of all or any part of Lessor’s right, title, and interest in the Premises.  Neither Lessor, nor any partner, agent, officer, director or employee of Lessor shall be personally liable for any portion of such a judgment.

 

Abandonment

 

Section 8.04.  If Lessee vacates or abandons the Premises, this Lease shall continue in effect unless and until expressly terminated by Lessor, and Lessor shall have all of the remedies provided by this Lease or by law, including without limitation, the right to maintain Lessee’s right to possession and to recover Rent as it becomes due hereunder.  Lessor shall not be deemed to have terminated this Lease other than by written notice of termination from Lessor.  At any time subsequent to vacation or abandonment of the Premises by Lessee, Lessor may give notice of termination and shall thereafter have all of the rights hereinafter set forth.

 

Termination

 

Section 8.05.  Following the occurrence of any default, Lessor shall have the right, so long as the default continues, to terminate this Lease by written notice to Lessee setting forth:  (a) the default; (b) the requirements to cure it; and (c) a demand for possession, which shall be effective in accordance with the notice provisions specified in Section 9.04.

 

Possession

 

Section 8.06.  Following termination under Section 8.05, without prejudice to any other remedies Lessor may have by reason of Lessee’s default or of such termination, Lessor may then or at any time thereafter, (a) peaceably re-enter the Premises, or any part thereof, upon voluntary surrender by Lessee, or expel or remove Lessee therefrom and any other persons occupying them, using such legal proceedings as are then available; (b) repossess and enjoy the Premises, or relet the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms, which may be for a term extending beyond the Term, at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Lessor in its sole discretion shall determine, with the right to make reasonable alterations and repairs to the Premises; and (c) remove all personal property therefrom.  Lessee hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future law in the event of

 

20



 

Lessee’s being evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or in the event of Lessor’s obtaining possession of the Premises, or by reason of the violation by Lessee of any of the items, covenants or conditions, of this Lease, or otherwise.

 

Recovery

 

Section 8.07.  Following termination under Section 8.05, Lessor shall have all the rights and remedies of a Lessor provided by Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code.  The amount of damages which Lessor may recover following termination shall include:  (a) the worth at the time of the award of the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination; (b) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of the award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided; (c) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of rental loss Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; and (d) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all detriment proximately caused by Lessee’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease.  The “worth at the time of the award” of the amounts referred to in (a) and (b) above shall be computed by allowing interest at the maximum rate permitted by law.  The “worth at the time of the award” of the amount referred to in (c) above shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one (1%) percent.

 

Additional Remedies

 

Section 8.08.  In addition to the foregoing remedies, Lessor shall, so long as this Lease is not terminated, have the right to remedy any default of Lessee, to maintain or improve the Premises without terminating this Lease, to incur expenses on behalf of Lessee in seeking a new sublessee, or to cause a receiver to be appointed to administer the Premises and new or existing subleases, and to add to the Rent payable hereunder all of Lessor’s reasonable costs in so doing, with interest at the maximum rate permitted by law.

 

Other

 

Section 8.09.  If Lessee causes or threatens to cause a breach of any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions contained in this Lease, Lessor shall be entitled to retain all sums held by Lessor, by any trustee or in any account provided for herein, to enjoin such breach or threatened breach, and to invoke any right and remedy allowed at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise as though re-entry, summary proceedings and other remedies were not provided for in this Lease.

 

Cumulative

 

Section 8.10.  Each right and remedy of Lessor provided for in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this Lease, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Lessor of any or all other rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing in law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.

 

21



 

No Waiver

 

Section 8.11.  No failure by Lessor or Lessee to insist upon the strict performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial payment of Rent during the continuance of any such breach shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of any such term.  Efforts by Lessor to mitigate the damages caused by Lessee’s breach of this Lease shall not be construed to be a waiver of Lessor’s right to recover damages under this Article.  Nothing in this Article affects the right of Lessor to indemnification by Lessee for liability arising prior to the termination of this Lease for personal injuries or property damage.

 

Written Action

 

Section 8.12.  No act or thing done by Lessor or its agents during the Term hereof shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a surrender of the premises shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by Lessor.  Neither the reference in this Lease to any particular remedy nor the pursuit of any particular remedy shall preclude Lessor from any other remedy Lessor might have, either at law or in equity.

 

Replacement of Statutory Notice Requirements

 

Section 8.13.  When this Lease requires service of a notice, that notice shall replace rather than supplement any equivalent or similar statutory notice, including any notices required by Code of Civil Procedure section 1161 or any similar or successor statute.  When a statute requires service of a notice in a particular manner, service of that notice (or a similar notice required by this Lease) in the manner required by Section 9.04 shall replace and satisfy the statutory service-of-notice procedures, including those required by Code of Civil Procedure section 1162 or any similar or successor statute.

 

Continuation of Lease in Effect

 

Section 8.14.  Lessor shall have the remedy described in Civil Code section 1951.4, which provides that, when a Lessee has the right to sublet or assign (subject only to reasonable limitations), the Lessor may continue the lease in effect after the Lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due.  Accordingly, if Lessor does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Lessee, Lessor may enforce all of Lessor’s rights and remedies under this Lease, including the night to recover all Rent as it becomes due.

 

Efforts To Relet

 

Section 8.15.  For purposes of this Article 8, Lessee’s right to possession shall not be considered to have been terminated by Lessor’s efforts to relet the Premises, by Lessor’s acts of maintenance or preservation with respect to the Premises, or by appointment of a receiver to protect Lessor’s interests under this Lease.  This list is merely illustrative of acts that may be performed by Lessor without terminating Lessee’s right to possession.

 

22


 

ARTICLE 9.  MISCELLANEOUS

 

Force Majeure - Unavoidable Delays

 

Section 9.01.  Should the performance of any act required by this Lease to be performed by either Lessor or Lessee be prevented or delayed by reason of an act of God, strike, lockout, labor troubles, inability to secure materials, restrictive governmental laws or regulations, or any other cause except financial inability, not the fault of the party required to perform the act, the time for performance of the act will be extended for a period equivalent to the period of delay and performance of the act during the period of delay will be excused; provided, however, that nothing contained in this section shall excuse the prompt payment of rent or other sums by Lessee as required by this Lease or the performance of any act rendered difficult solely because of the financial condition of the party, Lessor or Lessee, required to perform the act.

 

Attorney’s Fees

 

Section 9.02.  (a) Should any litigation be commenced between the parties to this Lease concerning the Premises, this Lease, or the rights and duties of either in relation thereto, the party, Lessor or Lessee, prevailing in such litigation shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted in the litigation, to a reasonable sum as and for his attorney’s fees in such litigation which shall be determined by the court in such litigation or in a separate action brought for that purpose.

 

(b)           If Lessor is made a party defendant to any litigation concerning this Lease or the leased Premises or the occupancy thereof by Lessee, then Lessee shall hold Lessor harmless from all liability by reason of said litigation, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses incurred by Lessor in any such litigation, whether or not any such litigation is prosecuted to judgment, provided however, it is agreed between Lessor and Lessee that if the litigation referred to in this Section arises out of no act, fault, or negligence of the Lessee, there shall be no obligation on the part of Lessee to hold harmless the Lessor from said litigation.

 

(c)           If Lessee breaches any term of this Lease, Lessor may employ an attorney or attorneys to protect Lessor’s rights hereunder, and in the event of such employment following any breach by Lessee, Lessee shall pay Lessor reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses incurred by Lessor, whether or not an action is actually commenced against Lessee by reason of said breach.

 

Arbitration of Disputes

 

Section 9.03.  IF ANY DISPUTE ARISES BETWEEN LESSOR AND LESSEE CONCERNING THE PREMISES, ANY PROVISION OF THIS LEASE OR THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF EITHER IN REGARD THERETO, THE DISPUTE SHALL BE SETTLED BY ARBITRATION AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION.  EACH PARTY SHALL APPOINT AN ARBITRATOR AND GIVE THE OTHER PARTY WRITTEN NOTICE OF THE NAME AND ADDRESS OF ARBITRATOR WITHIN FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER WRITTEN DEMAND TO DO SO HAS BEEN SERVED ON THE PARTY MAKING THE APPOINTMENT BY THE OTHER PARTY TO THIS LEASE.  THE TWO APPOINTED ARBITRATORS SHALL WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS AFTER THEIR

Binding on Heirs and Successors

 

Section 9.06.  This Lease shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns of the parties hereto, Lessor and Lessee, but nothing in this section contained shall be construed as a consent by Lessor to any assignment of this Lease or any interest therein by Lessee except as provided in Article 8 of this Lease.

 

Partial Invalidity

 

Section 9.07.  Should any provision of this Lease be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be either invalid, void, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect unimpaired by the holding.

(b)           The subordination provided for above is conditioned on and subject to the following:

 

(i)      For each mortgage or deed of trust, Lessor shall obtain from the mortgagee or beneficiary a non-disturbance agreement in writing that, in the event of foreclosure, or any sale thereunder, this Lease shall not be terminated and Lessee’s right to possession under this Lease shall not be disturbed, provided Lessee is not then in default under this Lease;

 

(ii)     In consideration of the mortgagee’s or beneficiary’s agreement not to disturb Lessee’s possession as above provided, Lessee hereby agrees to attorn to the purchaser at any foreclosure, sale or other action or proceeding.

 

25



 

(iii)    The subordination described in this section shall be effective without the necessity of having any further instruments executed by Lessee, but Lessee agrees to execute on demand any such further instruments evidencing subordination that Lessor or any mortgagee or beneficiary may reasonably request.

 

Time of Essence

 

Section 9.11.  Time is expressly declared to be the essence of this Lease.

 

Accord and Satisfaction

 

Section 9.12.  No payment by Lessee or receipt by Lessor of a lesser amount than the monthly rent stipulated herein or any other sum due hereunder from Lessee to Lessor shall be deemed to be anything other than a payment on account of the earliest sum then due and owing to Lessor.  No endorsement or statement on any check of any letter accompanying any check or payment or payment of any sum(s) due from Lessee to Lessor hereunder shall be deemed to be an accord and satisfaction, and Lessor may accept and negotiate any such payment without prejudice to Lessor’s right to recover the balance of such rent or other sum or to pursue any other remedy provided for in this Lease or by law.

 

Right of First Refusal to Purchase Leased Premises

 

Section 9.13.  (a) If at any time during the term of this Lease Lessor receives from any third party a bona fide offer to purchase the Premises at a price and on terms acceptable to Lessor, Lessor shall give written notice of the offer to Lessee.  Within thirty (30) days after Lessor gives Lessee written notice of the third-party offer, Lessee shall have the right to purchase the Premises at the same price and on the same terms and conditions set forth in the third-party offer.  To exercise its right, Lessee must, within the same thirty (30) day period, deposit in escrow with any title company in Santa Barbara County, California, all moneys and instruments required by the terms of the offer to be paid or delivered to Lessor on close of escrow and shall also give Lessor written notice of the deposit.  In the event Lessee fails to exercise the option to purchase in accordance with the provisions of this Section, Lessor may sell the Premises to the third party making the offer on the same terms and conditions set forth in that offer.  If for any reason the Premises are not sold to the party making the offer, Lessor shall give Lessee the same right to purchase the Premises on receiving any subsequent offer from any third party that is acceptable to Lessor.

 

(b)           Lessee may not assign the rights granted under this section either separately or together with a transfer of Lessee’s leasehold interest, and any purported assignment shall be null and void.

 

(c)           If this property is sold to any third party during the term of this Lease, then the provisions of this section shall thereafter be of no further force or effect.

 

Bankruptcy

 

Section 9.14.  Should a petition in bankruptcy be filed by the Lessee, or should Lessee, during the term hereof, become insolvent or make any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or

 

26



 

be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent by any Court, or should a receiver or trustee in bankruptcy be appointed over the business, property and assets of the Lessee, and the Premises herein lease, or take charge of the Premises herein demised, or should this lease, by operation of law, devolve upon or pass to any person or persons other than the Lessee, then upon any of such events, the Lessor may, at its option, re-enter and take possession of these Premises herein leased and remove all persons therefrom and terminate the Lease.

 

Estoppel Certificate

 

Section 9.15.  Within ten (10) days following any written request which Lessor may make from time to time, Lessee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor a statement certifying:  (a) the date of commencement of this Lease; (b) the fact that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or, if there have been modifications hereto, that this Lease is in full force and effect, and stating the date and nature of such modifications; (c) the date to which the Rent and other sums payable under this Lease have been paid; (d) that there are no current defaults under this Lease by either Lessor or Lessee except as specified in Lessee’s statement; and (e) any other information Lessor may reasonably require.  Lessor and Lessee intend that any statement delivered pursuant to this Section may be relied upon by any encumbrancer, ground Lessee, beneficiary, purchaser or prospective purchaser of the Property or any interest therein, as well as any of their assigns.

 

Transfer Of Lessor’s Interest

 

Section 9.16.  Lessor has the right to transfer all or part of its interest in the Building and Real Property and in this Lease.  On such a transfer, Lessor shall automatically be released from all liability accruing under this Lease, and Lessee shall look solely to that transferee for the performance of Lessor’s obligations under this Lease after the date of transfer.  Lessor may assign its interest in this Lease to a mortgage lender as additional security.  This assignment shall not release Lessor from its obligations under this Lease, and Lessee shall continue to look to Lessor for the performance of its obligations under this Lease.

 

Liability Of The Lessor

 

Section 9.17.  Except as otherwise provided in this Lease or applicable law, for any breach of this Lease the liability of Lessor (including all persons and entities that comprise Lessor, and any successor Lessor) and any recourse by Lessee against Lessor shall be limited to the interest of Lessor and Lessor’s successors in interest in and to the Building and Real Property.  On behalf of itself and all persons claiming by, through, or under Lessee, Lessee expressly waives and releases Lessor from any personal liability for breach of this Lease.

Exhibit 10.43

 

LEASE AGREEMENT

 

BY THIS LEASE dated February 1, 2001, TROC BUILDING PARTNERSHIP, a California general partnership, herein called “Lessor,” leases to COASTAL RADIATION ONCOLOGY MEDICAL GROUP, INC., a California corporation, herein called “Lessee,” that certain real property, herein called “the Premises,” in the County of San Luis Obispo, State of California, commonly known as 274 Heather Court, Templeton, California, and more particularly described in Exhibit A, attached hereto.

 

ARTICLE 1. TERM OF LEASE

 

Original Term

 

Section 1.01                             This Lease shall be for a term of fifteen (15) years, commencing on February 1, 2001, and ending on January 31, 2016.

 

Extended Term

 

Section 1.02                             Should Lessee perform all the terms and conditions of this Lease and provided Lessee is not then in default under the terms of this Lease, Lessee may extend this Lease for two (2) additional, separate terms of ten (10) years each, commencing on expiration of the preceding term, by giving Lessor written notice of Lessee’s desire to extend the term hereof not less than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to expiration of the preceding term.  This option to extend the term of this Lease is personal to Lessee and may not be transferred by Lessee without Lessor’s prior written consent.

 

Hold Over

 

Section 1.03                             Should Lessee hold over and continue in possession of the Premises after expiration of the term of this Lease or any extension thereof, Lessee’s continued occupancy of the Premises shall be considered a month-to-month tenancy subject to all the terms and conditions of this Lease, except that the base rent shall be in an amount equal to 100% of the last monthly rent.  If Lessee fails to surrender the Premises upon the expiration of this Lease, Lessee shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from all loss or liability, including without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded on or resulting from such failure to surrender.

 

ARTICLE 2. RENT

 

Base Rent

 

Section 2.01                             For the first year of the term hereof, Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor a fixed rental for the use and occupancy of the Premises of Thirteen Thousand Two Hundred Eleven Dollars ($13,211.00) per month, payable on the first (1st) day of each and every calendar month commencing on February 1, 2001, at 316 S.  Stratford Avenue, Santa Maria, CA 93454, or at such other place or places as Lessor may from time to time designate by written notice delivered to Lessee.

 

1



 

Rent Adjustment

 

Section 2.02                             The Base Rent provided for in Section 2.01 above shall be increased by three percent (3%) one year after the commencement of the term hereof and annually thereafter on the same date each calendar year until June 1, 2007.  Commencing on June 1, 2007 the Base Rent shall be reduced to Nine Thousand Three Hundred Fifty Two Dollars ($9,352.00) per month.  On June 1 of each calendar year thereafter, including any exercised options to extend (“the adjustment date”) the Base Rent shall be adjusted by three percent (3%) per year.

 

Base Rent for Extension Terms

 

(a)                                 In the event Lessee timely exercises its option to extend the lease term under Section 1.02 above, then within fifteen (15) days of Lessee’s written notice to Lessor of Lessee’s exercise of such option, Lessor and Lessee shall meet to establish the Base Rent for the first year of the Extension Term (“Rent Meeting”).  The Base Rent per square foot of leaseable area in the Premises for the first year of each extension term shall be the fair market rental value of the Premises, determined in accordance with the following formula:

 

Vault Sq. Ft. X (Market Rent x 2.67) + Medical Sq. Ft X (Market Rent)
(divided by) total leaseable square footage

 

= Base Rent per square foot

 

As used in the above formula, “Vault Sq. Ft.” means the total square footage of the treatment vaults, other than any treatment vaults added at the Lessee’s cost and expense.  “Market Rent” is the current fair market rent per square foot for medical office space in the County of San Luis Obispo, California on a triple net basis.  This space will be leased (not subleased) and will be comparable in size, location and quality to the Premises.  “Medical Sq. Ft” refers to all leaseable space in the Premises other than Vault Sq. Ft. “Total leaseable square footage” shall be the total leaseable square footage in the Premises determined by survey.

 

In the event that the parties cannot agree on the Market Rent for the first year of an extension term, then within ten (10) days after the Rent Meeting, Lessor and Lessee shall each specify in writing to the other party its determination of such Market Rent Rate.  If either party fails to submit its written determination in accordance with this Section, the Base Rent for the extension term shall be the determination submitted by the other party.

 

(b)                                 Within ten (10) days after the parties have exchanged written determinations, Lessor and Lessee shall mutually select three commercial realtors within the County of San Luis Obispo to determine the Market Rent.  Each such realtor shall (i) be disinterested; (ii) be qualified to determine the fair market rental rates for real estate similar to the Premises; and (iii) have been actively engaged in the leasing of comparable medical space in the County of San Luis Obispo for a period of not less than five (5) continuous years immediately preceding his or her appointment.  If Lessor and Lessee are unable to mutually select three such commercial realtors, then either party, on behalf of both, may request such appointment by the President of the local chapter of the California Realtors Association.  If such Association is not then in existence, either party, on behalf of both, may request such appointment by the presiding judge of the Superior Court of the Judicial District in which the property is located.  Each such realtor

 

2



 

shall submit their respective determinations of Market Rent for the area in writing to both parties and shall provide the basis for such determination.

 

(c)                                  The average of the three written determinations of Market Rent prepared by the realtors so selected shall be utilized to determine the Base Rent of the Premises for the initial year of the extension term.  The costs of the three realtors’ services shall be shared equally by the parties.  The decision of the realtors shall be binding upon the Lessor and Lessee.

 

(d)                                 In the event that the parties have not agreed on the Market Rent or the realtors have not been selected and the Market Rent determined before the commencement of the extension term, Lessee shall continue to pay the same lease rate in effect at the end of the lease year immediately preceding the commencement of the extension term.  Lessee shall pay such sum as Base Rent until the initial Base Rent for the extension term is determined, at which time Lessee shall promptly pay Lessor any additional rent due by reason of any increase in the Base Rent during the extension term over the Base Rent previously paid by Lessee.  If the Base Rent actually paid by Lessee during this period is ultimately determined to be more than the revised Base Rent as finally determined as above provided, any such over payment shall constitute a credit against the revised Base Rent, and that credit shall be applied to the following month or months until such credit is exhausted.

 

(e)                                  The Base Rent as above determined shall be subject to increase at the end of the first lease year of the extension term in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02 above.

 

Taxes, Utilities and Operating Expenses as Additional Rent

 

Section 2.03                             In addition to the rent specified in Sections 2.01 and 2.02 above, Lessee shall pay, as additional rent, all Utilities, Insurance, Personal and Real Property Taxes and Operating Expenses directly to the vendor or creditor for such items, or otherwise as set forth in this Section 2.03.  If Lessee fails to pay any such amount, Lessor may in its sole discretion, advance monies to pay such items, and demand reimbursement in full from Lessee (referred to as “additional rent” herein), including without limitation any cost, expense, assessment or charge, as well as interest as provided in this Lease.

 

Utilities

 

(a)                                 Lessee shall pay, and hold Lessor and the property of Lessor including the Premises, free and harmless from, all charges for the furnishing of gas, water, sewer, electricity, telephone service, garbage and trash removal and other public utilities during the entire term of this Lease or any extension thereof.  All such charges shall be paid by Lessee directly to the provider of the service and shall be paid as they become due and payable but in any event before delinquency.

 

Lessee agrees that Lessor shall not be liable for damages, by abatement of Rent or otherwise, for failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any service (including telephone and telecommunication services) or for diminution in the quality or quantity of any service when the failure, delay, or diminution is entirely or partially caused by:

 

(i)                                     Breakage repairs, replacements, or improvements;

 

3



 

(ii)                                  Strike, lockout, or other labor trouble;

 

(iii)                               Inability to secure electricity, gas, water, or other fuel at the Building after reasonable effort to do so;

 

(iv)                              Accident or casualty;

 

(v)                                 Act or default of Lessee or other parties; or

 

(vi)                              Any other cause beyond Lessor’s reasonable control.

 

Such failure, delay, or diminution shall not be considered to constitute an eviction or a disturbance of Lessee’s use and possession of the Premises or relieve Lessee from paying rent or performing any of its obligations under this Lease.  Lessor shall not be liable under any circumstances for a loss of or injury to property or for injury to or interference with Lessee’s business, including loss of profits through, in connection with, or incidental to a failure to furnish any of the utilities or services under this Section 2.03.  Lessor may comply with mandatory or voluntary controls or guidelines promulgated by any government entity relating to the use or conservation of energy, water, gas, light, or electricity or the reduction of automobile or other emissions without creating any liability of Lessor to Lessee under this Lease as long as compliance with voluntary controls or guidelines does not materially and unreasonably interfere with Lessee’s use of the Premises.

 

Personal Property Taxes

 

(b)                                 Lessee shall pay before they become delinquent all taxes, assessments and other charges levied or imposed by any governmental entity on the furniture, trade fixtures, equipment and other personal property placed by Lessee in, on or about the Premises.

 

Real Property Taxes

 

(c)                                  Lessee shall pay all real property taxes and general and special assessments on the Premises, including any increases in such taxes and assessments, before they become delinquent.

 

The real property taxes and assessments levied against the Premises for the first and last years of the term hereof shall be prorated between Lessor and Lessee for purposes of this section as of 12:01 A.M.  on the date of commencement and termination respectively of this Lease.

 

Lessee shall have the right, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, to protest or contest in good faith the amount of any tax or assessment.  As a condition precedent to Lessee’s right to protest such taxes or assessments, Lessee shall either pay the disputed amount and file for refund or deposit with Lessor the disputed amount plus one (1) years interest at the rate then charged by said county plus any estimated penalty which Lessor may incur by non-payment.  Upon such payment or deposit, Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee in prosecuting such dispute.

 

4



 

Operating Expenses

 

(d)                                 Lessee shall pay all Operating Expenses attributable to the occupation and use of the Premises.

 

The term “Operating Expenses” as used in this Lease shall mean all expenses, costs and fees attributable to Lessee’s use and occupancy of the Premises under this Lease, including but not limited to:

 

(i)                                     Miscellaneous operating costs, maintenance, security services, replacement for normal wear and tear, repair, re-striping and resurfacing of paving, insurance (including public liability and property damage, rent continuation, boiler and machinery and extended coverage insurance), and cleaning of the Premises and all parts thereof and all furnishings, fixtures and equipment therein.  The term “Operating Expenses” shall include the annual amortization of costs (including financing at the then prevailing rate, if any) of any improvements, equipment, or devices required by any governmental authority or incurred as a labor saving measure or to reduce operation or maintenance expenses with respect to the Premises where such costs are amortized over the useful life thereof.

 

(ii)                                  Operating Expenses shall also include licenses, permits, charges and assessments which are levied, assessed, imposed or collected by any governmental authority or improvement or assessment district during any calendar year with respect to the Premises and Lessee’s use and occupancy of the Premises and the land on which the premises are located, and any improvements, fixtures, equipment and other property of Lessor, real or personal, used in connection with the operation or maintenance of the Premises (computed on a cash basis or as if paid in permitted installments regardless of whether actually so paid), as well as any tax which shall be levied or assessed in addition to or in lieu of any tax described in Sections 2.03 (b) or (c) above (it being acknowledged that because of the passage of laws which limit increases in property taxes, government agencies may impose fees, charges, assessments or other levies in connection with services previously furnished without charge or at a lesser charge and which were previously paid for in whole or in part, directly or indirectly by real property taxes), any gross excise tax or other similar tax, and any costs or expenses of contesting any such taxes, licenses, charges or assessments, but excluding any federal or state income or gift tax or any franchise, capital stock, estate or Inheritance taxes.

 

Late Charges

 

Section 2.04                             If any installment of rent or other payment required to be paid by Lessee to Lessor is not paid within ten (10) days of the date on which it is due, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the late payment shall be due from Lessee to Lessor to compensate Lessor for the additional administrative work caused by such default and to compensate Lessor for the loss of use of such defaulted payment.  The late charge herein shall be in addition to any other remedy which Lessor may have hereunder for such default.

 

5



 

Interest on Late Payments

 

Section 2.05                             If any payment required to be paid by Lessee to Lessor is not paid within ten (10) days of the date on which it is due, such payment shall bear interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date it became due until it is paid by Lessee to Lessor.

 

ARTICLE 3. USE OF PREMISES

 

Permitted Use

 

Section 3.01                             The Premises shall, during the term of this Lease and any extensions thereof, be used for conducting a medical and radiation oncology business, for related activities and for no other purpose without the prior written consent of Lessor.

Waste or Nuisance

 

Section 3.03                             Lessee shall not commit or permit the commission by others of any waste on the Premises; Lessee shall not maintain, commit, or permit the maintenance or commission of any nuisance as defined in Section 3479 of the California Civil Code on the Premises; and Lessee shall not use or permit the use of the Premises for any unlawful purpose.

 

Hazardous Materials

 

Section 3.04                             Lessee warrants and represents that during the term hereof, and any extensions thereof, Lessee shall not use the Premises in any manner that would be in violation of any federal, state or local law, ordinance or regulation relating to environmental conditions on, under or about the Premises, including but not limited to soil and groundwater conditions.  Lessee shall not use, generate, manufacture, produce, store or dispose of on, under or about the Premises any hazardous materials, including without limitation, flammable materials, explosives, asbestos, radioactive materials, hazardous wastes, toxic substances or related injurious materials, whether injurious by themselves or in combination with other materials, other than such materials as may be necessary for Lessee’s normal operations on the Premises.  Lessee shall not dispose of or permit the disposal of any hazardous materials into the sewer system serving the Premises.

 

As used in this Section 3.04, the term “Hazardous Material” shall mean any hazardous or toxic substance, material, or waste at any concentration that is or becomes regulated by the United States, the State of California, or any local government authority having jurisdiction over the Building.  Hazardous Material includes:

(b)                                 “Hazardous waste,” as that term is defined in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA) (42 United States Code sections 6901-6992k);

 

(c)                                  Any pollutant, contaminant, or hazardous, dangerous, or toxic chemical, material, or substance, within the meaning of any other applicable federal, state or local law, regulation, ordinance, or requirement (including consent decrees and administrative orders imposing liability or standards of conduct concerning any hazardous, dangerous, or toxic waste, substance, or material, now or hereafter in effect);

 

(d)                                 Petroleum products;

(g)                                  Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and substances or compounds containing PCBs.

 

If, during the Lease Term (including any extensions), Lessee becomes aware of (i) any actual or threatened release of any Hazardous Material on, under, or about the Premises or the Building or (ii) any inquiry, investigation, proceeding, or claim by any government agency or other person regarding the presence of Hazardous Material on, under, or about the Premises or the Building, Lessee shall give Lessor written notice of the release or investigation within five (5) days after learning of it and shall simultaneously furnish to Lessor copies of any claims, notices of violation, reports, or other writings received by Lessee that concern the release or investigation.

 

Lessee shall, at Lessee’s sole expense and with counsel reasonably acceptable to Lessor, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lessor and Lessor’s shareholders; directors, officers, employees, partners, affiliates, agents, successors, and assigns with respect to all losses arising out of or resulting from the release of any Hazardous Material in or about the Premises or the Building, or the violation of any Environmental Law, by Lessee or Lessee’s agents, assignees, sublessees, contractors, or invitees.  This indemnification applies whether or not the concentrations of any such Hazardous Material is material, the concentrations exceed state or federal maximum contaminant or action levels, or any governmental agency has issued a cleanup order.  This indemnification includes:

 

(1)                                 Losses attributable to diminution in the value of the Premises or the Building;

 

(2)                                 Loss or restriction of use of rentable space in the Building;

 

(3)                                 Adverse effect on the marketing of any space in the Building; and

 

7



 

(4)                                 All other liabilities, obligations, penalties, fines, claims, actions (including remedial or enforcement actions of any kind and administrative or judicial proceedings, orders, or judgements), damages (including consequential and punitive damages), and costs (including attorney, consultant, and expert fees and expenses) resulting from the release or violation.

 

This indemnification shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

 

If the presence of any Hazardous Material brought onto the Premises or the Building by Lessee or Lessee’s employees, agents, contractors, or invitees results in contamination of the Building, Lessee shall promptly take all necessary actions to remove or remediate such Hazardous Materials, whether or not they are present at concentrations exceeding state or federal maximum concentration or action levels, or any governmental agency has issued a cleanup order, at Lessee’s sole expense, to return the Premises or the Building to the condition that existed before the introduction of such Hazardous Material.  Lessee shall first obtain Lessor’s approval of the proposed removal or remedial action.  This provision does not limit the indemnification obligation set forth in Section 3.04.

 

Compliance With Law

 

Section 3.05                             Lessee shall at Lessee’s own cost and expense comply with all statutes, ordinances, regulations, existing use permits and requirements of all governmental entities, both federal and state and county or municipal, relating to Lessee’s use and occupancy of the Premises whether such statutes, ordinances, regulations, and requirements be now in force or hereinafter enacted.  The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction, or the admission by Lessee in a proceeding brought against Lessee by any government entity, that Lessee has violated any such statute, ordinance, regulation, or requirement shall be conclusive as between Lessor and Lessee and shall be grounds for termination of this Lease by Lessor.  Lessor agrees that any requirements of the Municipal, State, or Federal authorities which require alteration of Lessor’s building shall not be the responsibility of Lessee, unless required because of an act of Lessee or a use of the Premises by Lessee.

 

ARTICLE 4. ALTERATIONS AND REPAIRS

 

Maintenance

 

Section 4.01                             Lessee shall at his own cost and expense keep and maintain all portions of the Premises as well as all improvements on the Premises and all facilities appurtenant to the Premises, including but not limited to electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning, sewage systems, roof and outer walls in good order and repair and in as safe and clean a condition as they were when received by Lessee from Lessor, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

 

Should Lessee fail to maintain the Premises as set forth above, Lessor may, at Lessor’s option, perform or contract for the performance of such maintenance for and on behalf of Lessee.  In such event, Lessee shall promptly on written demand of Lessor reimburse Lessor for all cost and expense incurred by Lessor in performing Lessee’s obligations hereunder plus interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date expended by Lessor to the date of repayment by Lessee.

Alterations and Liens

 

Section 4.02          Lessor and Lessee agree that from time to time during the term of this Lease, Lessee may desire alterations, changes and additions in and to the interior of the Premises and to the Building that are necessary or convenient to the operation of its business at the Premises.

 

Non-structural Changes

 

(a)           Lessee may, at its own expense, make nonstructural changes to the interior of the Premises (eg. revisions to interior decor, carpeting, painting, wall covering, etc.) provided that the value of the Premises shall not be diminished thereby.  Further provided, that any non-structural changes exceeding $5,000 in total cost must first be approved by the Lessor prior to commencement of such changes.

 

Structural Changes

 

(b)           If Lessee desires either (i) interior changes to the Premises of a structural nature (eg.  relocating interior walls); or (ii) changes to the facade or exterior walls or roof, or (iii) desires the addition of square footage to the Premises (i.e.  addition of Medical square footage or Vault square footage) then Lessee shall submit detailed plans and specifications for any proposed alteration or improvement to the Premises for Lessor’s review and approval.  The Lessor shall have the option to approve or deny the request for structural changes in writing within 30 (thirty) days of receipt of such request, in the reasonable discretion of the Lessor.  The failure of the Lessor to disapprove or object to such plans and specifications or any substantial changes therein within said thirty (30) days, shall constitute Lessor’s disapproval of the same.  Subsequent to such approval, minor changes in work or materials not affecting the general character of the improvements need not be approved by Lessor but a copy of the altered plans and specifications reflecting such changes must be promptly given to Lessor.  If approved, the Lessor shall have the option to pay for the changes, or not, in its sole discretion.  If the Lessor chooses to pay for the changes, then the parties shall meet immediately to negotiate an adjustment to the Base Rent to go into effect at the completion of the alterations.  If the Lessor chooses not to pay for the alterations, the Lessee has the option to proceed with the alterations, in its sole discretion and at its expense, without paying any amount of rent for the added square footage for the remaining Original Term, only the expenses attributable to the additional space.

 

Supervision of Alterations

 

(c)           All structural changes to the Premises involving load bearing walls which require Lessor’s approval shall be made under the supervision of a licensed architect or licensed structural engineer in accordance with the detailed plans and specifications submitted to Lessor as above provided.

 

Notices of Non-Responsibility

 

(d)           Lessee shall provide Lessor with at least twenty (20) days written notice prior to commencing any alteration, addition or change to the Premises requiring Lessor’s approval and

Lessor shall have the right to enter the Premises to post Notices of Non-Responsibility as provided by law.

 

Quality of Work; Ownership

 

(e)           All work with respect to any alteration, addition or change must be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and diligently prosecuted to completion to the end that the Premises shall at all times be a complete unit, except during the period of work.  Furthermore, any and all alterations, additions, improvements, and fixtures, except furniture and trade fixtures, made or placed in or on the Premises by Lessee or any other person shall on expiration or sooner termination of this Lease become the property of Lessor and remain on the Premises; provided, however, that Lessor shall have the option on expiration or sooner termination of this Lease of requiring Lessee, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, to remove any or all such alterations, additions, improvements, or fixtures from the Premises (excluding vaults).  All such changes, alterations, and improvements shall be performed and completed strictly in accordance with the laws and ordinances relating thereto, and in such a manner as not to impede access to the Premises.

 

Lessee shall not be the cause or object of any liens or allow such liens to exist, attach to, be placed on, or encumber Lessor’s or Lessee’s interest in the Premises, Building, or Real Property by operation of law or otherwise.  Lessee shall not suffer or permit any lien of mechanics, material suppliers, or others to be placed against the Premises, with respect to work or services performed or claimed to have been furnished to Lessee or the Premises.  If any such lien attaches or Lessee receives notice of any such lien, Lessee shall cause the lien to be immediately released and removed of record.  Despite any other provision of this Lease, if the lien is not released and removed within 10 (ten) days after Lessor delivers notice of the lien to Lessee, Lessor may immediately take all action necessary to release and remove the lien, without any duty to investigate the validity of it.  All expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred by Lessor in connection with the lien shall be considered additional rent under this Lease and be immediately due and payable by Lessee.

 

Additional Requirements

 

(f)            If Lessee pays for the changes, the following provisions shall apply to such changes:

 

(i)            The exterior of the improvements shall be compatible with the design and appearance of the Premises as it exists at the time of execution of this Lease.

 

(ii)           All work required in the construction of the structural changes, including any site preparation work, utility installations as well as actual construction shall be performed only pursuant to a contract entered into by Lessee with a competent general contractor and sub-contractors duly licensed as such under the Laws of the State of California, with proof of adequate liability and workers compensation insurance.

 

(iii)          The approval by Lessor of any plans and specifications under this paragraph refers only to the conformity of such plans and specifications to the general architectural plan for the Building.  By approving such plans and specifications, Lessor assumes no liability or

 

10



 

responsibility therefor and for any defect in any structure constructed from such plans or specifications.

 

Inspection by Lessor

 

Section 4.03          Lessee shall permit Lessor or his agents to enter into and upon the Premises during business hours for the purpose of inspecting the same, or for the purpose of posting notices of non-responsibility for alterations, additions or repairs or for the purpose of placing upon the property in which the Premises are located any usual or ordinary “for sale” signs, without any rebate of rent and without any liability to Lessee for any loss of occupation or quiet enjoyment of the Premises thereby occasioned.  Lessee shall permit Lessor, at any time within one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of this Lease, to place upon the Premises any usual or ordinary “to let” or “to lease” signs, provided that such entries made by Lessor hereunder shall not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Lessee’s business.

 

Surrender of Premises

 

Section 4.04          On expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, or any extensions or renewals of this Lease, Lessee shall promptly surrender and deliver the Premises to Lessor in as good condition as they are on at the date of possession, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

 

ARTICLE 5. INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE

 

Hold-Harmless Clause

 

Section 5.01          To the fullest extent permitted by law, Lessee, on its behalf and on behalf of its successors and assignees, waives all claims (in law, equity, or otherwise) against Lessor, its officers, directors, principals, agents, successors, assignees and agent arising out of, knowingly and voluntarily assumes the risk of, and agrees that Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for any of the following acts or failure to act set forth in paragraphs (a) to (c) below.  Lessor shall not be liable under this clause regardless of whether the liability results from any active or passive act, error, omission, or negligence of any of the Lessor; or is based on claims in which liability without fault or strict liability is imposed or sought to be imposed on any of the Lessor.  This exculpation clause shall not apply to claims against Lessor to the extent that a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction establishes that the injury, loss, damage, or destruction was proximately caused by Lessor’s fraud, willful injury to person or property, or violation of law.

 

(a)           The death or injury of any person or persons, including Lessee or any person who is an employee or agent of Lessee, or by reason of the damage to or destruction of any property, including property owned by Lessee or any person who is an employee or agent of Lessee, and caused or allegedly caused by either the condition of the Premises, or some act or omission of Lessee or of some agent, contractor, employee, servant, sublessee, or concessionaire of Lessee on the Premises;

 

(b)           Any work performed on the Premises or materials furnished to the Premises at the instance or request of Lessee or any agent or employee of Lessee;

 

11



 

(c)           Lessee’s failure to perform any provision of this Lease or to comply with any requirement imposed on Lessee or the leased Premises by any duly authorized governmental agency or political subdivision.

 

Liability Insurance

 

Section 5.02          Lessee shall, at its own cost and expense, obtain and maintain during the entire term of this Lease and any renewals or extensions thereof, a broad form comprehensive coverage policy of public liability insurance issued by an insurance company or companies rated by Best as A+ or better and authorized to conduct insurance business in the State of California and insuring Lessee and Lessor against loss or liability caused by or connected with Lessee’s occupation and use of the Premises under this Lease in amounts not less than:

 

(a)           $1,000,000.00 combined single limit for injury to or death as a result of any accident or incident.

 

(b)           $2,000,000.00 for damage to or destruction of any property of others.

 

Such public liability insurance, and property damage insurance shall insure performance by Lessee of the indemnity provisions of Section 5.01 above.  Both parties shall be named as co-insured, and the policy shall contain cross liability endorsements, if available.  The policy shall be primary insurance for all claims under it and provide that any insurance carried by Lessor is strictly excess, secondary, and noncontributing with any insurance carried by Lessee.  Lessee may provide such insurance under a single policy or under one or more separate policies.

 

Every three (3) years, Lessor may increase the amount of public liability and property damage insurance coverage required hereunder, if at that time the existing coverage is not adequate in the opinion of Lessor’s insurance broker or lender(s).

 

Fire and Casualty Insurance

 

Section 5.03          Lessee shall, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, at all times during the term hereof, and any extensions thereof, keep all buildings, improvements and other structures on the Premises insured for their full replacement cost against loss or destruction by fire and the perils, including vandalism and malicious mischief, commonly covered under standard extended coverage endorsements in San Luis Obispo County, California.  Lessor shall be named as an additional insured on all such policies and the policies shall contain a cross-liability endorsement.

 

“Full replacement cost” as used herein shall mean the actual cost of replacement for the buildings and other improvements on the Premises, as determined from time to time by Lessor.  Upon notification to Lessee in writing of Lessor’s determination of full replacement cost, Lessee shall, within thirty (30) days of such written notice, increase the amount of the insurance carried to the amount stated in the notice.

 

12



 

Business Interruption Insurance

 

Section 5.04          Lessee shall, at all times during the term of this Lease and any extensions thereof, maintain at Lessee’s sole cost and expense a policy of business interruption insurance, ensuring the rent provided for in this Lease will be paid to Lessor for a period not less than one (1) year in the event the Premises are destroyed or damaged so as to render operation of Lessee’s business impossible or impractical by any casualty insured against by standard fire and extended coverage insurance.

 

Lessee’s Personal Property

 

Section 5.05          Lessee shall, at all times during the term of this Lease and any extensions thereof, maintain at Lessee’s sole cost and expense an insurance policy issued by a company acceptable to Lessor insuring for their full insurable value all furniture, fixtures, equipment and alterations or improvements made to the Premises by Lessee against loss or destruction by fire and the perils commonly covered under the standard extended coverage endorsement to fire insurance policies in San Luis Obispo County.  Any loss payable under such insurance shall be payable to Lessee and shall be used to repair or replace such furniture, fixtures, equipment and alterations and improvements.

 

Cancellation Clause

 

Section 5.06          Any policy of insurance required to be obtained and maintained by Lessee under this Article shall be written by insurance companies authorized to do business in the State of California.  Each such policy of insurance shall expressly provide that it cannot be cancelled for any reason or altered in any manner unless at least thirty (30) days prior written notice has been given to Lessor by the insurance company.

 

Deposit of Insurance with Lessor

 

Section 5.07          Lessee shall, prior to taking possession of the Premises and promptly thereafter when any such policy is replaced, rewritten, or renewed, deliver to Lessor a true and correct copy of each insurance policy required by this Article of this Lease or a certificate executed by the insurance company or companies or their authorized agent evidencing such policy or policies.

 

Lessor’s Right to Procure Insurance

 

Section 5.08          If at any time Lessee fails to procure or maintain the insurance required by this Article, Lessor may obtain that insurance and pay the premiums on it for the benefit of Lessee.  Any amounts paid by Lessor to procure or maintain insurance pursuant to this section shall be immediately due and repayable to Lessor by Lessee with the next then due installment of rent under this Lease.  Failure to repay at that time any amount expended by Lessor shall be considered the same as a failure to pay rent and a default by Lessee under this Lease.

 

13



 

Lessor’s Indemnity

 

5.09.       Lessor expressly agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold Lessee harmless from all claims arising from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation to be performed by Lessor under the terms of this Lease and from and against all costs, loss, damage, legal expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any claim for indemnity brought by the Lessee under this provision shall be limited to Lessor’s interest in the Premises, and Lessee shall not have recourse to any other assets of Lessor or to the assets of any partner of Lessor for such claim.

 

ARTICLE 6. SIGNS AND TRADE FIXTURES

 

Installation and Removal of Trade Fixtures

 

Section 6.01          Lessee shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the term of this Lease and any renewal or extension of such term, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, to install and affix in, to, or on the Premises such items, herein called “trade fixtures”, for use in Lessee’s trade or business as Lessee may, in its sole discretion, deem advisable.  Any and all such trade fixtures that can be removed without structural damage to the Premises or any building or improvement on the Premises shall remain the property of the Lessee and may be removed by Lessee at any time or times prior to the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

 

Unremoved Trade Fixtures

 

Section 6.02          Any trade fixtures described in this Article that are not removed from the Premises by Lessee within ten (10) days after the expiration or sooner termination, regardless of cause, of this Lease shall be deemed abandoned by Lessee and shall automatically become the property of Lessor as owner of the real property to which they are affixed, unless Lessor notifies Lessee, in writing, of Lessor’s election to have Lessee remove such trade fixtures and to repair any damage caused thereby.  Upon such election by Lessor to require Lessee to remove such trade fixtures, Lessee shall have fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice in which to remove such trade fixtures and repair any damage caused by such removal.  If Lessee fails to remove such trade fixtures and repair any such damage, Lessor may do so at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, including any costs of storing such property.  Such costs and expenses, if incurred by Lessor for Lessee’s benefit, shall be promptly, upon written demand therefor, reimbursed to Lessor by Lessee, together with interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date expended by Lessor to the date of reimbursement by Lessee.

 

Signs

 

Section 6.03          Lessee may place and maintain, or permit any other person to place and maintain any sign on the Premises providing such sign is in compliance with then existing governmental regulations.  Lessee may not place any decoration, lettering, or advertising matter on the glass of any exterior show window of the Premises.  Lessee shall maintain such sign at all times during this Lease in good appearance and repair.  On expiration or sooner termination of

 

14



 

this Lease, all such signs not removed from the Premises by Lessee on such expiration or termination of this Lease may, without liability, be destroyed by Lessor.

 

ARTICLE 7. DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION OR CONDEMNATION

 

Duty to Repair or Restore

 

Section 7.01          If any improvements, including the buildings and other structures, located on the Premises are damaged or destroyed during the term of this Lease or any extension thereof, the damage shall be repaired as follows:

 

(a)           If the damage or destruction is caused by a peril against which fire and extended coverage insurance is required to be carried under this Lease, Lessee shall repair that damage as soon as reasonably possible and restore the Premises and improvements to substantially the same condition as existed before the damage or destruction, regardless of whether the insurance proceeds are sufficient to cover the actual cost of repair or restoration.  If insurance required to be carried by Lessee under this Lease has lapsed or not been carried, Lessee shall be solely responsible for the full cost and expense of necessary repairs and restoration.

 

(b)           If the damage or destruction is caused by a peril against which insurance is not required to be carried by this Lease, Lessor, subject to Lessor’s right to terminate this Lease described in Section 7.02, shall repair that damage as soon as reasonably possible and restore the Premises to substantially the same condition as existed before the damage or destruction.

 

(c)           Whether the damage of destruction is caused either by a peril against which fire and extended coverage insurance is required by this Lease to be carried or by a peril against which insurance is not required to be carried by this Lease, Lessee expressly waives any right under Civil Code Sections 1931-1933 to terminate this Lease for damage or destruction to the Premises.

 

Termination of Lease for Certain Losses

 

Section 7.02          (a)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, if any improvements located on the Premises are damaged or destroyed to such extent it will cost more than $100,000.00 to repair or replace them, and the damage or destruction is caused by a peril against which insurance is not required to be carried by this Lease, Lessor may terminate this Lease by giving Lessee written notice of the termination.  The notice must be given within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of the damage or destruction.

 

(b)           Lessee or Lessor shall have the right to terminate this Lease under either of the following circumstances:

 

(i)            If the Premises are damaged or destroyed from any cause whatsoever, insured or uninsured, and the laws then in effect do not permit the repair or restoration of the Premises provided for in this Article; or

 

(ii)           If the Premises are damaged or destroyed from any cause whatsoever, insured or uninsured, during the last year of the term of this Lease or any extension thereof (provided

 

15



 

Lessee has not elected before the date of damage or destruction to extend the term of this Lease in accordance with Section 1.02).

 

(c)           Either party may terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination to the other party not later than fourteen (14) days after the right to terminate accrues, and such termination shall be effective as of the date of the notice of termination.  In the event of a termination under subsection (b), Lessee shall not be entitled to collect any insurance proceeds attributable to insurance policies covering the Premises or improvements except those proceeds attributable to Lessee’s personal property and trade fixtures.

 

(d)           If this Lease is terminated pursuant to either subsection (a) or (b) above, the rent and other sums payable by Lessee to Lessor under this Lease shall be prorated as of the termination date.  If any such sums have been paid in advance by Lessee, Lessor shall refund them to Lessee for the unexpired period for which the payment has been made.

 

Time for Construction of Repairs

 

Section 7.03          Any and all repairs and restorations of improvements required by this Article shall be commenced by Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be, within a reasonable time after the occurrence of the damage or destruction requiring the repairs or restoration; shall be diligently pursued after being commenced; and shall be completed within a reasonable time after the loss.  If Lessor is required under this Lease to perform the repairs and restoration, Lessor shall cause the repairs and restoration to be completed within 180 days after the occurrence of the event causing destruction or Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease, unless the delays are caused by events outside the control of Lessor.

 

Insurance Proceeds

 

Section 7.04          If the damage or destruction is caused by a peril against which fire and extended coverage insurance is required to be carried and maintained under this Lease by Lessee, the proceeds of insurance shall be paid directly to the parties for the purpose of making the necessary repairs to the Premises as required under this Lease.

 

Abatement of Rent

 

Section 7.05          In the event of repair, replacement or restoration as herein provided, the Base Rent payable under this Lease shall be abated proportionately with the degree to which Lessee’s use of the Premises is impaired, from the date of the damage until completion of repairs plus one (1) calendar month.  Lessee shall not be entitled to any compensation of damages for loss in the use of all or part of the Premises and/or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such damage, repair, replacement or reconstruction.

 

Total Condemnation

 

Section 7.06          Should, during the term of this Lease or any renewal or extension thereof, title and possession of all of the Premises be taken under the power of eminent domain by any public or quasi-public agency or entity, this Lease shall terminate as of 12:01 A.M.  on the date actual physical possession of the Premises is taken by the agency or entity exercising the power

 

16



 

of eminent domain and both Lessor and Lessee shall thereafter be released from all obligations, except those specified in Section 7.10 of this Lease, under this Lease.

 

Termination Option for Partial Condemnation

 

Section 7.07          Should, during the term of this Lease or any extension thereof, title and possession of only a portion of the Premises be taken under the power of eminent domain by any public or quasi-public agency or entity, Lessee may, at Lessee’s option, terminate this Lease if more than 35 percent of the floor space or more than 55 percent in value of the Premises is taken under the power of eminent domain.  Lessee shall exercise its option by giving written notice to Lessor within 30 days after actual physical possession of the portion subject to the eminent domain power is taken by the agency or entity exercising that power.  This Lease shall terminate as of 12:01 A.M.  on the date the notice is deemed given to Lessor but the rent specified in Article 2 of this Lease shall be reduced in the manner specified in Section 7.08 below from the date of taking to the date of termination of the lease.

 

Partial Condemnation Without Termination

 

Section 7.08          Should Lessee fail to exercise the option described in Section 7.06 of this Lease or should the portion of the Premises taken under the power of eminent domain be insufficient to give rise to the option described in Section 7.07 of this Lease, then, in that event:

 

(a)           This Lease shall terminate as to the portion of the Premises taken by eminent domain as of 12:01 A.M.  on the day, herein called the “date of taking,” actual physical possession of that portion of the Premises is taken by the agency or entity exercising the power of eminent domain;

 

(b)           The rent specified in Article 2 of this Lease shall, after the date of taking, be reduced by an amount that bears the same ratio to the rent specified in Article 2 of this Lease as the square footage floor space of the portion of said premise taken under the power of eminent domain bears to the total square footage floor space of the Premises as of the date of this Lease; and

 

(c)           Lessor, at Lessor’s own cost and expense, will remodel and reconstruct the building remaining on the portion of the Premises not taken by eminent domain into a single efficient architectural unit as soon after the date of taking, or before, as can be reasonably done; provided, however, that the rent specified in this Lease shall not be abated or reduced, except as provided in subparagraph (b) of this section, during such remodeling and reconstruction.

 

Condemnation Award

 

Section 7.09          Should, during the term of this Lease or any renewal or extension thereof, title and possession of all or any portion of the Premises be taken under the power of eminent domain by any public or quasi-public agency or entity, the portion of the compensation or damages for the taking awarded to each of the parties to this Lease, Lessor and Lessee, shall belong to and be the sole property of the party Lessor or Lessee, to whom it is awarded.  Lessee shall be entitled to that portion of the compensation or damages awarded for the eminent domain taking that represents (i) reasonable value of Lessee’s rights under this Lease for the unexpired

 

17



 

term of this Lease and (ii) the cost or loss sustained by Lessee because of the removal of Lessee’s trade fixtures, equipment and furnishings from the portion of the Premises taken by eminent domain.

 

Arbitration of Condemnation Award

 

Section 7.10          Should separate awards not be made to Lessor and Lessee for the taking by eminent domain of all or any portion of the Premises, and should Lessor and Lessee be unable to agree on the manner the total award is to be divided between them pursuant to Section 7.09 of this Lease, the proper division of the award between Lessor and Lessee shall be settled by arbitration as provided in Section 9.03.

 

Lessee’s Waiver

 

Section 7.11          Lessee agrees that its rights to terminate this Lease due to partial condemnation are governed by this Section.  Lessee waives all rights it may have under California Code of Civil Procedure section 1265.13, or otherwise, to terminate this Lease based on a partial condemnation.

 

ARTICLE 8. DEFAULT, ASSIGNMENT, AND TERMINATION

 

Subleasing or Assigning as Breach

 

Section 8.01          Lessee shall not encumber, assign, or otherwise transfer this Lease, any right or interest in this Lease, or any right or interest in the Premises or any of the improvements that may now or hereafter be constructed or installed on the Premises without the express written consent of Lessor first had and obtained.  Neither shall Lessee sublet the Premises or any part thereof or allow any other person, other than Lessee’s patrons, agents, servants, and employees, to occupy the Premises or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Lessor.  The consent of Lessor to any assignment of Lessee’s interest in this Lease or the subletting by Lessee of the Premises or parts of the Premises shall not be unreasonably withheld.  A consent by Lessor to one assignment, one subletting, or one occupation of the Premises by another person shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, or occupation of the Premises by another person.  Any encumbrance, assignment, transfer, or subletting without the prior written consent of Lessor, whether it be voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, is void and shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate this Lease.  Notwithstanding the above, Lessee may assign or sublease the Premises, or portions thereof, to a subsidiary, affiliate or parent of Lessee.  Such permitted assignment shall not relieve Lessee or any person who has personally guaranteed Lessee’s performance of this Lease from any liability under this Lease or any such guarantee.

 

Lessee’s Default

 

Section 8.02          The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default under this Lease by Lessee:

 

(a)           Non-curable Defaults:  (i)  The vacation or abandonment of any substantial portion of the Premises by Lessee for a period of five (5) business days or longer;

 

18


 

 

 

(ii)           Any involuntary transfer of Lessee’s interest in this Lease or any voluntary transfer, attempted or actual, of Lessee’s interest in this Lease, without Lessor’s prior written consent, in violation of Section 8.01;

 

(iii)          If the leasehold interest of Lessee is levied upon under execution or is attached by process of law and said levy or attachment is not promptly released;

 

(iv)          If:  (1) all or substantially all of the Lessee’s assets are placed in the hands of a receiver or trustee, and such receivership or trusteeship continues for a period of sixty (60) days, or

 

(2)           if Lessee makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or is adjudicated a bankrupt, or

 

(3)           if Lessee institutes any proceedings under any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or under any other act relating to the subject of bankruptcy wherein Lessee seeks to be adjudicated a bankrupt, be discharged of its debts, or effect a plan of liquidation, composition, arrangement or reorganization, or

 

(4) if any involuntary proceeding is filed against Lessee under any such bankruptcy laws and Lessee consents thereto or acquiesces therein by pleading or default,

 

then any such act shall be deemed a breach of this Lease, and neither this Lease nor any interest in and to the Premises shall become an asset in any of such proceedings and, in any such event, and in addition to any and all rights or remedies of Lessor hereunder or provided by law, this Lease shall terminate automatically as of the date on which any one or more of the above-described occurrences takes place.  In such event, it shall be lawful for Lessor to re-enter the Premises and take possession thereof and remove all persons and all of Lessee’s personal property, fixtures, equipment, alterations, improvements and utility installations therefrom, and Lessee shall have no further claim to the Premises or under this Lease.  Nothing contained herein shall limit or prejudice the right of Lessor to recover damages by reason of any such termination equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, such damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount is greater, equal to, or less than the amount of damages recoverable under the provisions of this Article.  However, the foregoing provisions in this Article shall be subject to the Bankruptcy Code, as heretofore and hereafter amended.

 

(b)           Curable Defaults:  (i)  The failure by Lessee to make any payment of Basic Rent, Additional Rent or any other payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder as and when due and which shall continue for a period of ten (10) business days after written notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee; provided however, any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under the California Code of Civil Procedure or any other law, regulation or ordinance; or

 

(ii)           The failure by Lessee to observe or perform any non-monetary covenants, conditions or provisions of this lease to be observed or performed by Lessee, other than the aforementioned non-curable defaults, within thirty (30) days after Lessee has been given written notice of such failure.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessee cannot reasonably cure such

 

19



 

default within thirty (30) days, Lessee shall not be in default hereunder so long as Lessee commences to cure the default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and in good faith pursues such cure to completion.

 

Lessors Default

 

Section 8.03          (a)  Lessor shall be in default if it fails or refuses to perform any provision of this Lease that it is obligated to perform and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Lessee detailing such failure.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessor cannot reasonably cure such default within thirty (30) days, Lessor shall not be in default hereunder so long as Lessor commences to cure the default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and in good faith pursues such cure to completion.

 

(b)           If Lessor is in default hereunder, and as a consequence Lessee recovers a money judgment against Lessor, such judgment shall be satisfied only out of the proceeds of sale received on execution of the judgment and levy against the right, title, and interest of Lessor in the Premises, and out of rent or other income from such real property receivable by Lessor or out of the consideration received by Lessor from the sale or other disposition of all or any part of Lessor’s right, title, and interest in the Premises.  Neither Lessor, nor any partner, agent, officer, director or employee of Lessor shall be personally liable for any portion of such a judgment.

 

Abandonment

 

Section 8.04          If Lessee vacates or abandons the Premises, this Lease shall continue in effect unless and until expressly terminated by Lessor, and Lessor shall have all of the remedies provided by this Lease or by law, including without limitation, the right to maintain Lessee’s right to possession and to recover Rent as it becomes due hereunder.  Lessor shall not be deemed to have terminated this Lease other than by written notice of termination from Lessor.  At any time subsequent to vacation or abandonment of the Premises by Lessee, Lessor may give notice of termination and shall thereafter have all of the rights hereinafter set forth.

 

Termination

 

Section 8.05          Following the occurrence of any default, Lessor shall have the right, so long as the default continues, to terminate this Lease by written notice to Lessee setting forth:  (a) the default; (b) the requirements to cure it; and (c) a demand for possession, which shall be effective in accordance with the notice provisions specified in Section 9.04.

 

Possession

 

Section 8.06          Following termination under Section 8.05, without prejudice to any other remedies Lessor may have by reason of Lessee’s default or of such termination, Lessor may then or at any time thereafter, (a) peaceably re-enter the Premises, or any part thereof, upon voluntary surrender by Lessee, or expel or remove Lessee therefrom and any other persons occupying them, using such legal proceedings as are then available; (b) repossess and enjoy the Premises, or relet the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms, which may be for a term extending beyond the Term, at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Lessor in its sole discretion shall determine, with the right to make reasonable alterations and repairs to the

 

20



 

Premises; and (c) remove all personal property therefrom.  Lessee hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future law in the event of Lessee’s being evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or in the event of Lessor’s obtaining possession of the Premises, or by reason of the violation by Lessee of any of the items, covenants or conditions, of this Lease, or otherwise.

 

Recovery

 

Section 8.07          Following termination under Section 8.05, Lessor shall have all the rights and remedies of a Lessor provided by Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code.  The amount of damages which Lessor may recover following termination shall include:  (a) the worth at the time of the award of the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination; (b) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of the award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided; (c) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of rental loss Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; and (d) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all detriment proximately caused by Lessee’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease.  The “worth at the time of the award” of the amounts referred to in (a) and (b) above shall be computed by allowing interest at the maximum rate permitted by law.  The “worth at the time of the award” of the amount referred to in (c) above shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one (1 %) percent.

 

Additional Remedies

 

Section 8.08          In addition to the foregoing remedies, Lessor shall, so long as this Lease is not terminated, have the right to remedy any default of Lessee, to maintain or improve the Premises without terminating this Lease, to incur expenses on behalf of Lessee in seeking a new sublessee, or to cause a receiver to be appointed to administer the Premises and new or existing subleases, and to add to the Rent payable hereunder all of Lessor’s reasonable costs in so doing, with interest at the maximum rate permitted by law.

 

Other

 

Section 8.09          If Lessee causes or threatens to cause a breach of any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions contained in this Lease, Lessor shall be entitled to retain all sums held by Lessor, by any trustee or in any account provided for herein, to enjoin such breach or threatened breach, and to invoke any right and remedy allowed at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise as though re-entry, summary proceedings and other remedies were not provided for in this Lease.

 

Cumulative

 

Section 8.10          Each right and remedy of Lessor provided for in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this Lease, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and shall not preclude the

 

21



 

simultaneous or later exercise by Lessor of any or all other rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing in law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.

 

No Waiver

 

Section 8.11          No failure by Lessor or Lessee to insist upon the strict performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial payment of Rent during the continuance of any such breach shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of any such term.  Efforts by Lessor to mitigate the damages caused by Lessee’s breach of this Lease shall not be construed to be a waiver of Lessor’s right to recover damages under this Article.  Nothing in this Article affects the right of Lessor to indemnification by Lessee for liability arising prior to the termination of this Lease for personal injuries or property damage.

 

Written Action

 

Section 8.12          No act or thing done by Lessor or its agents during the Term hereof shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a surrender of the premises shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by Lessor.  Neither the reference in this Lease to any particular remedy nor the pursuit of any particular remedy shall preclude Lessor from any other remedy Lessor might have, either at law or in equity.

 

Replacement of Statutory Notice Requirements

 

Section 8.13          When this Lease requires service of a notice, that notice shall replace rather than supplement any equivalent or similar statutory notice, including any notices required by Code of Civil Procedure section 1161 or any similar or successor statute.  When a statute requires service of a notice in a particular manner, service of that notice (or a similar notice required by this Lease) in the manner required by Section 9.04 shall replace and satisfy the statutory service-of-notice procedures, including those required by Code of Civil Procedure section 1162 or any similar or successor statute.

 

Continuation of Lease in Effect

 

Section 8.14          Lessor shall have the remedy described in Civil Code section 1951.4, which provides that, when a Lessee has the right to sublet or assign (subject only to reasonable limitations), the Lessor may continue the lease in effect after the Lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due.  Accordingly, if Lessor does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Lessee, Lessor may enforce all of Lessor’s rights and remedies under this Lease, including the night to recover all Rent as it becomes due.

 

Efforts To Relet

 

Section 8.15          For purposes of this Article 8, Lessee’s right to possession shall not be considered to have been terminated by Lessor’s efforts to relet the Premises, by Lessor’s acts of maintenance or preservation with respect to the Premises, or by appointment of a receiver to protect Lessor’s interests under this Lease.  This list is merely illustrative of acts that may be performed by Lessor without terminating Lessee’s right to possession.

 

22



 

ARTICLE 9. MISCELLANEOUS

 

Force Majeure - Unavoidable Delays

 

Section 9.01          Should the performance of any act required by this Lease to be performed by either Lessor or Lessee be prevented or delayed by reason of an act of God, strike, lockout, labor troubles, inability to secure materials, restrictive governmental laws or regulations, or any other cause except financial inability, not the fault of the party required to perform the act, the time for performance of the act will be extended for a period equivalent to the period of delay and performance of the act during the period of delay will be excused; provided, however, that nothing contained in this section shall excuse the prompt payment of rent or other sums by Lessee as required by this Lease or the performance of any act rendered difficult solely because of the financial condition of the party, Lessor or Lessee, required to perform the act.

 

Attorney’s Fees

 

Section 9.02          (a)  Should any litigation be commenced between the parties to this Lease concerning the Premises, this Lease, or the rights and duties of either in relation thereto, the party, Lessor or Lessee, prevailing in such litigation shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted in the litigation, to a reasonable sum as and for his attorney’s fees in such litigation which shall be determined by the court in such litigation or in a separate action brought for that purpose.

 

(b)           If Lessor is made a party defendant to any litigation concerning this Lease or the leased Premises or the occupancy thereof by Lessee, then Lessee shall hold Lessor harmless from all liability by reason of said litigation, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses incurred by Lessor in any such litigation, whether or not any such litigation is prosecuted to judgment, provided however, it is agreed between Lessor and Lessee that if the litigation referred to in this Section arises out of no act, fault, or negligence of the Lessee, there shall be no obligation on the part of Lessee to hold harmless the Lessor from said litigation.

 

(c)           If Lessee breaches any term of this Lease, Lessor may employ an attorney or attorneys to protect Lessor’s rights hereunder, and in the event of such employment following any breach by Lessee, Lessee shall pay Lessor reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses incurred by Lessor, whether or not an action is actually commenced against Lessee by reason of said breach.

 

Arbitration of Disputes

 

Section 9.03          IF ANY DISPUTE ARISES BETWEEN LESSOR AND LESSEE CONCERNING THE PREMISES, ANY PROVISION OF THIS LEASE OR THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF EITHER IN REGARD THERETO, THE DISPUTE SHALL BE SETTLED BY ARBITRATION AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION.  EACH PARTY SHALL APPOINT AN ARBITRATOR AND GIVE THE OTHER PARTY WRITTEN NOTICE OF THE NAME AND ADDRESS OF ARBITRATOR WITHIN FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER WRITTEN DEMAND TO DO SO HAS BEEN SERVED ON THE PARTY MAKING THE APPOINTMENT BY THE OTHER PARTY TO THIS LEASE.  THE TWO APPOINTED ARBITRATORS SHALL WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS AFTER THEIR

Section 9.05          The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger, and shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate any existing subleases or subtenancies or may, at the option of Lessor, operate as an assignment to it of any of such subleases or subtenancies.

 

24



 

Binding on Heirs and Successors

 

Section 9.06          This Lease shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns of the parties hereto, Lessor and Lessee, but nothing in this section contained shall be construed as a consent by Lessor to any assignment of this Lease or any interest therein by Lessee except as provided in Article 8 of this Lease.

 

Partial Invalidity

 

Section 9.07          Should any provision of this Lease be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be either invalid, void, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect unimpaired by the holding.

 

Sole and Only Agreement

 

Section 9.08          This instrument constitutes the sole and only agreement between Lessor and Lessee respecting the Premises, the leasing of the Premises to Lessee, or the lease term herein specified, and correctly sets for the obligations of Lessor and Lessee to each other as of its date.  Any agreements or representations respecting the Premises or their leasing by Lessor to Lessee not expressly set forth in this instrument are null and void.

 

Waiver

 

Section 9.09          The waiver by Lessor of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition on any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained.  The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease other than the failure of the Lessee to pay the particular rental so accepted, regardless of Lessor’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of the acceptance of such rent.

 

Subordination and Non-Disturbance

 

Section 9.10          (a)  This Lease is subject and subordinate to all mortgages and deeds of trust which may hereafter be placed and recorded on the property of which the Premises are a part and to all renewals, modifications, replacements, and extensions thereof.

 

(b)           The subordination provided for above is conditioned on and subject to the following:

 

(i)            For each mortgage or deed of trust, Lessor shall obtain from the mortgagee or beneficiary a non-disturbance agreement in writing that, in the event of foreclosure, or any sale thereunder, this Lease shall not be terminated and Lessee’s right to possession under this Lease shall not be disturbed, provided Lessee is not then in default under this Lease;

 

(ii)           In consideration of the mortgagee’s or beneficiary’s agreement not to disturb Lessee’s possession as above provided, Lessee hereby agrees to attorn to the purchaser at any foreclosure, sale or other action or proceeding.

 

25



 

(iii)          The subordination described in this section shall be effective without the necessity of having any further instruments executed by Lessee, but Lessee agrees to execute on demand any such further instruments evidencing subordination that Lessor or any mortgagee or beneficiary may reasonably request.

 

Time of Essence

 

Section 9.11          Time is expressly declared to be the essence of this Lease.

 

Accord and Satisfaction

 

Section 9.12          No payment by Lessee or receipt by Lessor of a lesser amount than the monthly rent stipulated herein or any other sum due hereunder from Lessee to Lessor shall be deemed to be anything other than a payment on account of the earliest sum then due and owing to Lessor.  No endorsement or statement on any check of any letter accompanying any check or payment or payment of any sum(s) due from Lessee to Lessor hereunder shall be deemed to be an accord and satisfaction, and Lessor may accept and negotiate any such payment without prejudice to Lessor’s right to recover the balance of such rent or other sum or to pursue any other remedy provided for in this Lease or by law.

 

Right of First Refusal to Purchase Leased Premises

 

Section 9.13          (a)  If at any time during the term of this Lease Lessor receives from any third party a bona fide offer to purchase the Premises at a price and on terms acceptable to Lessor, Lessor shall give written notice of the offer to Lessee.  Within thirty (30) days after Lessor gives Lessee written notice of the third-party offer, Lessee shall have the right to purchase the Premises at the same price and on the same terms and conditions set forth in the third-party offer.  To exercise its right, Lessee must, within the same thirty (30) day period, deposit in escrow with any title company in San Luis Obispo County, California, all moneys and instruments required by the terms of the offer to be paid or delivered to Lessor on close of escrow and shall also give Lessor written notice of the deposit.  In the event Lessee fails to exercise the option to purchase in accordance with the provisions of this Section, Lessor may sell the Premises to the third party making the offer on the same terms and conditions set forth in that offer.  If for any reason the Premises are not sold to the party making the offer, Lessor shall give Lessee the same right to purchase the Premises on receiving any subsequent offer from any third party that is acceptable to Lessor.

 

(b)           Lessee may not assign the rights granted under this section either separately or together with a transfer of Lessee’s leasehold interest, and any purported assignment shall be null and void.

 

(c)           If this property is sold to any third party during the term of this Lease, then the provisions of this section shall thereafter be of no further force or effect.

 

Bankruptcy

 

Section 9.14          Should a petition in bankruptcy be filed by the Lessee, or should Lessee, during the term hereof, become insolvent or make any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or

 

26



 

be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent by any Court, or should a receiver or trustee in bankruptcy be appointed over the business, property and assets of the Lessee, and the Premises herein lease, or take charge of the Premises herein demised, or should this lease, by operation of law, devolve upon or pass to any person or persons other than the Lessee, then upon any of such events, the Lessor may, at its option, re-enter and take possession of these Premises herein leased and remove all persons therefrom and terminate the Lease.

 

Estoppel Certificate

 

Section 9.15          Within ten (10) days following any written request which Lessor may make from time to time, Lessee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor a statement certifying:  (a) the date of commencement of this Lease; (b) the fact that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or, if there have been modifications hereto, that this Lease is in full force and effect, and stating the date and nature of such modifications; (c) the date to which the Rent and other sums payable under this Lease have been paid; (d) that there are no current defaults under this Lease by either Lessor or Lessee except as specified in Lessee’s statement; and (e) any other information Lessor may reasonably require.  Lessor and Lessee intend that any statement delivered pursuant to this Section may be relied upon by any encumbrancer, ground Lessee, beneficiary, purchaser or prospective purchaser of the Property or any interest therein, as well as any of their assigns.

 

Transfer Of Lessor’s Interest

 

Section 9.16          Lessor has the right to transfer all or part of its interest in the Building and Real Property and in this Lease.  On such a transfer, Lessor shall automatically be released from all liability accruing under this Lease, and Lessee shall look solely to that transferee for the performance of Lessor’s obligations under this Lease after the date of transfer.  Lessor may assign its interest in this Lease to a mortgage lender as additional security.  This assignment shall not release Lessor from its obligations under this Lease, and Lessee shall continue to look to Lessor for the performance of its obligations under this Lease.

 

Liability Of The Lessor

 

Section 9.17          Except as otherwise provided in this Lease or applicable law, for any breach of this Lease the liability of Lessor (including all persons and entities that comprise Lessor, and any successor Lessor) and any recourse by Lessee against Lessor shall be limited to the interest of Lessor and Lessor’s successors in interest in and to the Building and Real Property.  On behalf of itself and all persons claiming by, through, or under Lessee, Lessee expressly waives and releases Lessor from any personal liability for breach of this Lease.

MANAGEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT

 

THIS MANAGEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of March 1, 2005 (the “Effective Date”), is by and among USCC Florida Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation, FROG OnCure Southside, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, OnCURE Medical Corp., a Delaware corporation, (“OnCURE” and collectively, the “Company”), and Integrated Community Oncology Network, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the “Practice or “ICON”).

A.                                    The Practice is a medical practice that provides Radiation Oncology Services (as defined herein) and medical oncology services in the States of Florida and Georgia.

 

B.                                    The Company is in the business of providing certain administrative and support services to medical practices, and in providing space, equipment, furnishings, supplies and inventory to medical practices in connection therewith.

 

C.                                    The Company and Florida Radiation Oncology Group, a Florida general partnership (“FROG”) were parties to several Medical Services Agreements, specifically: (i) The Medical Services Agreement dated October 1, 1998 by and among USCC Florida Acquisition Corp., and St. John’s Oncology Center, Florida Cancer Center — Palatka, Florida Cancer Center — Wells Complex, Florida Cancer Center — Orange Park and FROG; and the Amendments dated January 1, 2003 and June 30, 2003, (ii) The Medical Services Agreement dated December 1, 2000 by and between U.S. Cancer Center, Inc. and FROG, and the Amendment dated June 30, 2003, and (iii) The Medical Services Agreement dated February 1, 2003 by and among OnCURE, FROG OnCURE Southside, LLC and FROG (the “Original Agreements”), pursuant to which FROG provided radiation oncology medical services to the Company’s Cancer Centers.

Upon any sale of any Collateral hereunder by the Company (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial proceeding, or otherwise), the receipt of the Company or the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Company or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

The powers conferred on the Company hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral, and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for treatment of the Collateral in its possession in a manner substantially equivalent to that which the Company accords its own property of a similar nature, and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Company shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to the Collateral. The Company shall not be liable to the Practice (i) for any loss or damage sustained by the Practice, or (ii) for any loss, damage, depreciation or other diminution in the value of any of the Collateral that may occur as a result of or in connection with or that is in any way related to any exercise by the Company of any right or remedy under this Agreement, any failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or any delay in doing so, or any other act or failure to act on the part of the Company, except to the extent that the same is caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

If the Practice fails to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement after written request to do so by the Company (provided that no such request shall be necessary at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Practice Default), the Company may itself perform, or cause the performance of, such covenant or agreement and may take any other action that it deems necessary and appropriate for the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral or its security interest therein, and the reasonable expenses so incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Company.

The Company shall have the right (but not the obligation) to deliver a letter, substantially in the form as attached hereto as Exhibit A, to all Third-Party Payors (the “Payor Instruction Letter”) or otherwise notify such Third-Party Payors of the contents thereof. The Payor Instruction Letter shall direct payments on the Receivables to be deposited into a bank account at the Depository Bank designated by the Company (the “Company Account”). For Receivables for services rendered to patients who participate in the Medicare program, the Medicaid program, other government health care programs, and any other Third Party Payors that ‘will not allow the Practice’s Receivables to be deposited into the Company Account, the Practice shall establish a bank account at the Depository Bank (the “Practice Lockbox Account”) and the Practice shall enter into an agreement with the Depository Bank that sets forth a standing order from the Practice to transfer or remit all cash proceeds on a daily basis to the Company Account (the “Lockbox Account Agreement”). To the extent that the Practice receives any payments contrary to the terms of the Payor Instruction Letter (including, without limitation, any amounts received directly from Patients at the time medical services are rendered or otherwise), the Practice agrees to deposit all such payments received by the Practice into the Practice Lockbox Account. As set forth in Section 2.14, the Company is hereby granted full power and authority to pay, out of the funds in the Company Account, the Retained Amount, the Company Fee, all Operational Expenses (including, without limitation, all Billing and Collection Fees) and reimburse itself, out of the funds in the Company Account, for all Operational Expenses advanced or paid by it.

Following termination or expiration of the term of this Agreement, the Company shall take all action and execute all instruments as the Practice may reasonably request in order to notify the Third-Party Payors of such termination.

 

SECTION 4.8            Automatic Termination. The assignment, security interest, and deposit of Receivables provided for in Sections 4.6 and 4.7 shall terminate immediately, without any action required by the Practice, upon the earliest to occur of (i) an Event of Company Default or an event that, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Company Default or (ii) the termination of this Agreement for any reason other than an Event of Practice Default. Immediately upon any such termination, the Company shall take all actions requested by the Practice to effect such termination and to notify third parties thereof.

Except to the extent that this Section 8.4 may have the effect of reducing or eliminating any insurance coverage that would otherwise be available to pay damages suffered by any Party, each of the Parties shall have the following rights to indemnification.

 

(a)                                 Indemnification of the Company. The Practice shall indemnify and hold the Company, its Affiliates and their respective permitted successors and assigns and any of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents harmless from and against any and all losses, obligations, liabilities, settlement payments, awards, judgments, fines, penalties, damages, deficiencies, taxes and reasonable expenses and costs, including reasonable attorneys’, accountants’ and auditors’ fees (and any reasonable experts’ fees) and court costs (each referred to individually as a “Loss”), incurred by the Company (or any of its Affiliates) in any action or proceeding between the Practice and the Company (and/or any of its Affiliates) or between any third party (including, without limitation, any Physician) and the Company (and/or any of its Affiliates) or otherwise, arising out of or in any way related to: (i) any material breach or default by the Practice of any term or condition of this Agreement; (ii) the performance (or non-performance) of services required to be performed by the Practice, the Physicians or any of the Practice’s agents under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Radiation Oncology Services); (iii) any professional malpractice claim arising out of acts committed or omitted by the Practice or the Physicians; (iv) any claim, arising from any act prohibited under Medicare or Medicaid alleging that the Practice or any Physician: (1) made a false statement or representation of a material fact in any application for any benefit or payment; (2) made a false statement or representation of a material fact for use in determining rights to any benefit or payment; or (3) failed to disclose knowledge of the occurrence of an event affecting the initial or continued right to any benefit or payment on its behalf or on behalf of another, with intent to secure such benefit or payment fraudulently; (v) any Practice Taxes; (vi) any act prohibited under any healthcare Law that was committed or omitted by the Practice; or (vii) any defects or dangerous conditions at the Cancer Centers or in any FF&E caused by or which are the

 

xli

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in each case above, to the extent such Loss arises out of or relates to the negligent, reckless or wrongful acts or omissions of the Company, its Affiliates or any of their respective employees or agents, the Loss shall be shared by the Parties in proportion to their relative contributions to its occurrence as determined by arbitration pursuant to Article X.

 

(b)                                 Indemnification of the Practice and the Physicians. The Company shall indemnify and hold the Practice, its officers, directors, employees, independent contractors, representatives and agents, and the Physicians harmless from and against any Loss incurred by the Practice in any action or proceeding between the Company and the Practice or between the Practice and any third party (including, without limitation, any Physician) or otherwise, arising out of or in any way related to: (i) any material breach or default by the Company of any term or condition of this Agreement; (ii) the performance (or non-performance) of services required to be performed by the Company under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Management Services); (iii) any claim, arising from any act prohibited under Medicare or Medicaid alleging that the Company: (1) made a false statement or representation of a material fact in any application for any benefit or payment; (2) made a false statement or representation of a material fact for use in determining rights to any benefit or payment; or (3) failed to disclose knowledge of the occurrence of an event affecting the initial or continued right to any benefit or payment on its behalf or on behalf of another, with intent to secure such benefit or payment fraudulently; (iv) any Company Taxes; (v) any defects or dangerous conditions at the Cancer Centers or in any FF&E caused by or which are the responsibility of the Company; or (vi) any act prohibited under any healthcare Law that was committed or omitted by the Company; or (vii) any Wrongful Termination Claim.

SECTION 8.5                                   Indemnification Procedure. Whenever any claim shall arise for indemnification hereunder, the Party entitled to indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall provide written notice to the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) within a reasonable time after becoming aware of any such claim to indemnification, and shall state the facts constituting the basis for such claim. In connection with any claim for indemnification hereunder resulting from or arising out of any claim or legal proceeding by a Person who is not a party to this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party, at its sole cost and expense and upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, may assume the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, unless such assumption of defense by the Indemnifying Party is not reasonable under the circumstances. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such action, with its own counsel and at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such claim or litigation resulting therefrom, the Indemnified Party may defend against such claim or litigation in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling such claim or litigation,

 

xlii



 

after giving notice of the same to the Indemnifying Party, on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate but after consultation with the Indemnifying Party; and no action taken by the Indemnified Party in accordance with such defense and settlement shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations herein provided with respect to any Loss resulting therefrom.

 

ARTICLE IX
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION; ACCESS TO RECORDS

 

SECTION 9.1                                   Confidential Information and Trade Secrets.

Each Party therefore covenants and agrees that it will not (and it will ensure that each of its employees will not), during or after the term of this Agreement, disclose any of the other Party’s Confidential Information or Trade Secrets to any Person or entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever, without the written consent of the other Party, except (a) as necessary in the proper performance of its obligations hereunder, (b) for any such Confidential Information or Trade Secrets that becomes public through no fault of the disclosing Party, or (c) as may be required by Law. Each Party hereby acknowledges that if it or any of its employees or agents engage in activities within the limitations of this Section 9.1, money damages shall be an inadequate remedy, and shall be entitled to obtain, in addition to any other remedy provided by Law or equity, an injunction against the violation of such Party’s obligation hereunder.

 

SECTION 9.2                                   Books and Records. Each Party shall maintain and make available to the other Party accurate books, records, and accounts relating to the services provided by such Party pursuant to this Agreement. Such books and records shall be available at their place of keeping for inspection by the other Party or its representative for the purpose of determining whether the correct amounts have been retained and/or paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and for any other valid purpose. Each Party shall have the right to conduct an audit (at such Party’s expense) upon fifteen (15) days advance written notice, but not more frequently than twice each calendar year.

 

ARTICLE X
ARBITRATION

 

SECTION 10.1                            Arbitration.

 

(a)                                 In the event of any controversy or claim, whether based on contract, tort, statute, or other legal or equitable theory (including but not limited to any claim of fraud, misrepresentation, or fraudulent inducement) arising out of or related to this Agreement (“dispute”) arises and cannot be resolved by negotiation, the Parties agree to submit the dispute to mediation by a mediator mutually selected by the Parties. If the Parties are unable to agree upon a mediator, then the mediator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association.

(d)                                 The arbitration shall be held in Jacksonville, Florida, before a single arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision and award shall be final and binding and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator shall not have the power to award punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages, or any damages excluded by or in excess of any damage limitations expressed in this Agreement or any subsequent agreement between the Parties.

 

(e)                                  In order to prevent irreparable harm, the arbitrator may grant temporary or permanent injunctive or other equitable relief for the protection of property rights.

 

(f)                                   Issues or arbitrability shall be determined in accordance with the federal substantive and procedural Laws relating to arbitration; all other aspects of the Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with and the arbitrator shall apply and be found to follow the substantive Laws of the State of Florida. The prevailing party in such action, in addition to any other award made by the arbitrator, shall be entitled to an award of reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred in prosecuting such action and the enforcement of any judgment entered in such action, all in the amount to be determined by the arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.

 

(g)                                  If court proceedings to stay litigation or compel arbitration are necessary, the Party who unsuccessfully opposes such proceedings shall pay all associated costs, expenses, and attorney’s fees which are reasonably incurred by the other Party.

 

(h)                                 The arbitrator may order the Parties to exchange copies of nonrebuttal exhibits and copies of witness lists in advance of the arbitration hearing. However, the arbitrator shall have no other power to order discovery or depositions unless and then only to the extent that all Parties otherwise agree in writing.

 

(i)                                     Neither a Party, a witness, nor the arbitrator may disclose the facts of the underlying dispute or the contents or results of any negotiation, mediation, or arbitration hereunder without prior written consent of all Parties, unless and then only to the extent required to enforce or challenge the negotiated agreement or the arbitration award, as required by Law, or as necessary for financial and tax reports and audits.

 

(j)                                    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.1, in the event of alleged violation of a Party’s property or equitable rights (including but not limited to unauthorized disclosure of confidential information), that Party may seek temporary injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction pending appointment of an arbitrator. The Party requesting such relief shall simultaneously file a demand for mediation and arbitration of the

 

xliv



 

dispute, and shall request the American Arbitration Association to proceed under its rules of expedited procedures. In no event shall any such court-ordered temporary injunctive relief continue for more than thirty (30) days.

 

(k)                                 If any part of this Section 10.1 is held to be unenforceable, it shall be severed and shall not affect either the duties to mediate and arbitrate hereunder or any other part of this Section 10.1.

Exhibit 10.45

 

PET CT Management Services Agreement

 

This PET / CT Management Services Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made the 1st day of August, 2005 (the “Effective Date”), by and between JAXPET, LLC, a Florida limited liability Company and a wholly owned subsidiary of OnCURE Medical Corp., a Delaware corporation (“ONCURE”), and Integrated Community Oncology Network, LLC, dba PET/CT Center of North Florida and Cyclotron Center of North East Florida (“ICON”).

 

RECITALS

 

(a)           ICON (or its affiliated entity) owns and operates a mobile state-of-the-art Siemens Biograph Positron Emission Tomography / CT (“PETCT”) imaging facility (the “Mobile Unit”), which operates at selected Centers in Northern Florida, including at radiation centers owned and operated by ONCURE (or its affiliated entities) located at Palatka, Southside, Wells, Beaches, St. Augustine, and Orange Park (the “Centers”).

 

(b)           ICON (or its affiliated entity) owns and operates a validly existing Florida Cylcotron business (“Cyclotron”), formed for and engaged in the manufacturing and production of FDG, and is licensed to by the state of Florida to produce FDG. Cyclotron currently supplies FDG to ICON for its Mobile Unit.

 

(c)           ONCURE provides management services to the PETCT Mobile Unit pursuant to the agreement dated March 1st, 2004, by and between ONCURE, ICON (its predecessor) and Cyclotron (“Original Agreement”).

 

(d)           ONCURE owns an older Siemens Ecat PET unit, serial number 1027, which is out of service and not being utilized at the Centers (“Old PET”). ONCURE has agreed to sell the Old PET as a trade-in to Siemens, and ICON has agreed to buy from Siemens a new PET CT unit pursuant to the Siemens agreement dated March 2005 (“Siemens Agreement”). ICON will utilize the new PET CT (“Second Mobile Unit”) at the Centers. As part of the Siemens Agreement, Siemens will pay off in full satisfaction the existing Marcap debt of approximately $ 600,000 on the Old PET, and cause the $ 200,000 letter of credit to be released to ONCURE as part of the Siemens Agreement. As part of mutual consideration of the Siemens Agreement, OnCURE and ICON have agreed to revise the Original Agreement into this Agreement. This Agreement is subject to the final execution of the Siemens Agreement, delivery of the Second Mobile Unit and payoff of the Marcap debt.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the respective covenants and undertakings hereunder and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

 

1



 

1.01        FDG Supply.  Cyclotron has a valid license to produce FDG in the State of Florida, and will provide FDG to the Mobile Unit, the Second Mobile Unit, and any future PET unit, at a price equal to the cost to produce such FDG.

 

1.02        Management Services Provided by ONCURE.  Pursuant to the Agreement, ONCURE will act as the exclusive manager and administrator of the Mobile Unit, Second Mobile Unit and Cyclotron with respect to the administrative day-to-day operations of the facilities. ONCURE will be responsible for providing: (i) all employees and human resources; (ii) marketing; (iii) payroll/ADP and bookkeeping services as necessary to compile monthly financial information; (iv) manage all personnel; (v) supervise the purchasing of inventory and supplies for the Facility; (vi) supervise and maintain custody of substantially all of the accounting, billing, collection, and FDG patient records and files; and (vii) any other administrative duties deemed necessary by ICON for the Mobile Unit, Second Mobile Unit and Cyclotron. All operating expenses of the Mobile Unit, Second Mobile Unit and Cyclotron, which expressly excludes the Management Services Fee (but includes all radiology reading fees), will be paid for solely out of the proceeds of the Mobile Unit, Second Mobile Unit and Cyclotron net revenues, which will be billed and collected by ONCURE.

 

1.03        Staff Costs.  ONCURE, or its affiliates, agrees to provide staff for the Mobile Unit, Second Mobile Unit and Cyclotron (“Leased Employees”). ONCURE, ICON and Cyclotron will jointly determine the positions and requirements of the Leased Employees, however, the supervision and clinical control over the Leased Employees will be the responsibility of ICON. The Leased Employees shall be deemed employees of ONCURE or its affiliate, and subject to the employee benefits and regulations of ONCURE or its affiliate. ONCURE will invoice on a weekly basis, and ICON and Cyclotron will compensate ONCURE on a weekly basis for the exact cost of the Leased Employees.

 

1.04        Management Services Fee.  ICON and Cyclotron shall pay to ONCURE in consideration for performing its services under this Agreement, a fee equal to fifteen percent (15%) of EBITDA [defined as earnings from operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, based upon the accrual method of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and including the debt service costs of the Mobile Unit, Second Mobile Unit and the Cyclotron] (“Management Services Fee”). The Management Service Fee will be paid to ONCURE within 15 days following the end of each month.

 

1.05        Reasonable Value.  Payment of the Management Services Fee is not intended to be and shall not be interpreted or applied as permitting ONCURE to share in ICON fees for PETCT, nor for ONCURE to share in Cyclotron’s fee for FDG, or any other services, but is acknowledged as the parties’ negotiated agreement as to the reasonable fair market value of the management services provided by ONCURE pursuant to this Agreement, considering the nature of the services required.

 

1.06        Term.  This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and terminate ten (10) years thereafter, unless extended by mutual agreement (the “Term”);

 

2



 

1.07        Termination by Agreement.  In the event ONCURE and ICON and Cyclotron shall mutually agree in writing, this Agreement may be terminated on the date specified in such written agreement.

 

1.08        Legislative, Regulatory or Administrative Change.  In the event there shall be a change in the Medicare or Medicaid statutes, State statutes, case laws, regulations or general instructions, the interpretation of any of the foregoing, the adoption of new federal or State legislation, or a change in any third party reimbursement system, any of which are reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the manner in which either party may perform or be compensated for its services under this Agreement or which shall make this Agreement unlawful, the parties shall immediately use their best efforts to enter into good faith negotiations regarding a new service arrangement or basis for compensation for the services furnished pursuant to this Agreement that complies with the law, regulation, or policy and that approximates as closely as possible the economic position of the parties prior to the change. If the parties are unable to reach a new agreement within a reasonable time, then either party may submit the issue to arbitration for the purpose of reaching an alternative arrangement that is equitable under the circumstances.

 

1.09        Termination for Cause.  Either Party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon the occurrence of any of the following events with regard to the other Party: (i) the making of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) the filing of a voluntary petition or the commencement of any proceeding by either Party for relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws, or any laws relating to the relief of debtors, readjustment of indebtedness, reorganization, composition or extension; (iii) the filing of any involuntary petition or the commencement of any proceeding by or against either Party for relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws, or any laws relating to the relief of debtors, readjustment of indebtedness, reorganization, composition or extension, which petition or proceeding is not dismissed within ninety (90) days of the date on which it is filed or commenced.

 

1.10        Mutual Exclusivity.  ONCURE, ICON, and Cyclotron hereby agrees the Agreement is mutually exclusive, and that ICON and Cyclotron will not employ or otherwise utilize another party to manage the Mobile Unit, Second Mobile Unit, Cyclotron, or any future unit, and further, the parties agree that they will not compete with each other in Northeast Florida. ONCURE agrees that its management services are exclusively for ICON and Cyclotron, and ONCURE will not engage in any competing PET/CT or Cyclotron business in Northeast Florida.

 

1.11        Parties Bound.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and permitted assigns.

 

1.12        Amendments.  This Agreement may be amended at any time by written consent of both parties.

 

1.13        Conformance With Law.  Each party shall carry out all activities undertaken by it pursuant to this Agreement in conformance with all federal and state government laws, rules, and

 

3



 

regulations; provided, however, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent either party from initiating legal action to test the validity of any such law, rule, or regulation.

 

1.14        Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with any attachments and exhibits, contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Leases, (b) exclusively for the provision of Radiation Oncology Services and ancillary services, such as imaging, laboratory, cyclotron, and support services, and (c) in compliance, in all material respects with all applicable Laws.  It is expressly acknowledged by the Parties that the medical practice or practices conducted at the Cancer Centers shall be conducted solely by Physicians associated with the Practice, and no other physician or medical practitioner shall be permitted to use or occupy the Cancer Centers without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  The license granted under this Section 2.7 shall terminate with respect to any Cancer Center on the date that the Lease pertaining to such Cancer Center has expired or been terminated, or this Agreement has expired or been terminated.

 

SECTION 2.8                                        Files and Records.

 

(a)                                  Subject to the succeeding paragraph, the Company shall maintain all files and records relating to the operation of the Cancer Centers and Practice, including, but not limited to, customary financial records and Patient files.  The Company shall use its best efforts to manage all files and records in material compliance with all applicable Laws (including state and federal laws concerning confidentiality of such records), which files and records shall be located so that they are readily accessible for Patient care, consistent with ordinary records management practices.  The Practice shall have full access to such records during the Term.  Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, if the Practice or a Physician shall request copies of medical files and records relating to Patients, the Company shall promptly furnish a copy of such files and records.

 

(b)                                 The Practice shall supervise the preparation of, and direct the contents of, patient medical records, all of which shall be and remain confidential and the property of the Practice. The Practice shall establish and enforce reasonable procedures to ensure that the Professional Staff properly prepare and complete medical records for all Patients in material compliance with all applicable Laws, the medical staff bylaws, rules and regulations of the Company, and the rules and regulations of any Third-Party Payors with which the Company may contract or affiliate from time to time.  All such patient records shall be maintained for the periods required by, and in material compliance with, applicable Laws.  The Company shall have reasonable access to such records and, subject to applicable Laws and accreditation policies, the Company shall be permitted to retain true and complete copies of such records.

 

SECTION 2.9                                        Recruitment of New Physicians.  At the request of the Practice, the Company shall perform administrative services relating to the recruitment of physicians for the Practice.  The Company’s role in recruitment is not to be construed as direct employment by the Company, but an acknowledgement that any financial commitment made to a Physician during recruitment will affect the performance of both the Company and the Practice under this Agreement.

 

SECTION 2.10                                  Expansion of the Practice.  The Company shall assist the Practice in evaluating and adding additional office space, new Cancer Centers, new office-based procedures and services, and new or additional ancillary or other professional services, as provided for in the Annual Budget or otherwise approved by the Company and the Practice.  The Company and the

SECTION 2.12                                  Managed Care Contracting.

 

(a)                                  The Company shall review all proposed managed care contracts and provide recommendations to the Practice regarding whether the participation in such managed care contracts is consistent with the Annual Budget.  The Practice shall execute only such managed care contracts as may be consistent with the Annual Budget (unless otherwise approved by the Company) and shall (and shall cause the Professional Staff to) abide by the terms of any such contract.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Party shall execute a managed care contract pertaining to Radiation Oncology Services to be provided at the Cancer Centers without the other Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  The Company agrees to provide all ancillary and supportive services, equipment, and personnel which may be required of the Practice and the Cancer Centers from time to time by any of the Practice’s managed care contracts, payors, and accreditation bodies; provided, however, that the cost of  the foregoing shall be deemed an Operational Expense.

 

SECTION 2.13                                  Restrictive Covenants of the Company.

 

(a)                                  Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates shall provide space, furnishings, facilities, equipment, supplies, services or personnel similar to those provided to the Practice under this Agreement, directly or indirectly, to any Person or entity (other than the Practice) in connection with the provision of Radiation Oncology Services to patients in the Practice Area or the Communities, without providing the Practice with appropriate prior written notice and the opportunity to provide such Radiation Oncology Services on terms no less favorable than those proposed to be offered to such Person.  In the event the Practice elects to provide Radiation Oncology Services at any such new medical facility, then such facility shall be deemed a Cancer Center hereunder.

 

(b)                                 The Company shall not take any action to disparage or criticize the Physicians, the Practice or any of its employees, officers, directors, owners or customers.

18



 

Accordingly, the Company hereby agrees that, in such event, the Practice shall be entitled, and notwithstanding any election by the Practice to claim damages, to obtain a temporary and/or permanent injunction (without proving a breach therefor) to restrain any such breach or threatened breach or to obtain specific performance of any such provisions, all without prejudice to any and all other remedies that the Practice may have at Law or in equity. The Company hereby waives any requirement that the Practice post a bond in connection with any claim for relief under this Section 2.13.

 

(e)                                  Any term or provision of this Section 2.13 that is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Section 2.13 or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms and provisions of this Section 2.13 in any other jurisdiction.  Each of the Parties hereby agrees that the provisions set forth in this Section 2.13 are reasonable under the circumstances, and further agrees that, if in the opinion of any court of competent jurisdiction any provision herein is determined to be excessively broad as to duration, activity, subject or otherwise incompatible with applicable Law, said court is authorized and requested to modify such provision so as to cause it to be not excessively broad or incompatible with applicable Law, and to enforce such provision as modified.

 

(f)                                    For purposes of this Section 2.13, the term “Practice” shall mean, collectively, the Practice and its Affiliates.

(a)                                  The Practice acknowledges and agrees that the services to be provided by the Company hereunder are feasible only if the Practice operates a viable medical practice to which the Physicians devote their full time, attention and reasonable best efforts.  Accordingly, the Practice agrees that it shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, during the Term and for a period of one year following the termination of this Agreement (except as a result of a termination by the Practice pursuant to Section 5.3(a) through (g)), other than pursuant to this Agreement, on its behalf or on behalf of any other Person, directly or indirectly,

 

(i)                                     solicit, recruit or employ any Person who has been employed or otherwise retained by the Company at any time during the 12 months immediately preceding such solicitation or recruitment or cause or seek to cause such Person to leave the employ of the Company, or

(c)                                  The Practice shall cause each Seller and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause each Physician that is not a Seller (other than any locum tenens engaged by the Practice) to enter into an agreement concerning the restrictions set forth in this Section 3.4; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no Physician shall be prohibited from employing any Person who has been employed or otherwise retained by the Company to physically work in an area outside of the Practice Area or the Communities if such Person requested to be employed by such Physician and was not solicited or recruited by such Physician.

 

(d)                                 Each Party hereby agrees that the provisions of this Section 3.4 are independent of any and all other covenants or agreements by and among such Parties and shall remain enforceable regardless of any claim or determination with respect to, or breach of, any other agreement between such Parties.

 

(e)                                  Each Party hereby acknowledges that in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Practice of any of the provisions of this Section 3.4, the Company would not have an adequate remedy at Law and could suffer substantial and irreparable damage.  Accordingly, the Practice hereby agrees that, in such event, the Company shall be entitled, and notwithstanding any election by the Company to claim damages, to obtain a temporary and/or permanent injunction (without proving a breach therefor) to restrain any such breach or threatened breach or to obtain specific performance of any such provisions, all without prejudice to any and all other remedies which the Company may have at Law or in equity.  The Practice hereby waives any requirement that the Company post a bond in connection with any claim for relief under this Section 3.4

 

(f)                                    Any term or provision of this Section 3.4 which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Section 3.4 or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms and provisions of this Section 3.4 in any other jurisdiction.  Each of the Parties hereby agrees that the provisions set forth in this Section 3.4 are reasonable under the circumstances, and further agrees that if in the opinion of any court of competent jurisdiction any provision herein is determined to be excessively broad as to duration, activity, subject or otherwise incompatible with applicable Law, said court is authorized and requested to modify such provision so as to cause it to be not excessively broad or incompatible with applicable Law, and to enforce such provision as modified.

 

(g)                                 For purposes of this Section 3.4, the term “Company” shall mean, collectively, the Company and its Affiliates.

 

21



 

(h)                                 Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the Practice shall cause each Seller and each full-time Physician (other than locum tenens engaged by the Practice) to agree (i) to provide Radiation Oncology Services exclusively for the Company at the Cancer Centers, (ii) not to provide any Radiation Oncology Services at any outpatient treatment facility that is not owned or operated by the Company, and (c) not to compete with any of the Cancer Centers, within the Practice Area, unless with the prior written consent of the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 10.05  of the Securities Purchase Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the Practice or the Physicians from providing medical services, including but not limited to Radiation Oncology Services, (1) outside the Practice Area, or (2) through Neuroscience, provided that Neuroscience does not provide any radiation oncology services other than gamma knife surgery.  All such services shall not be governed by this Agreement, and any revenue arising from such services shall not be included in the calculation of Practice Revenues.

 

SECTION 3.5                                        Continuing Professional Education.  The Practice shall ensure that each Physician maintains competence in, and remains currently well-informed as to recent developments about, radiation oncology clinical protocols.   Accordingly, subject to the Practice at all times providing sufficient Physicians to care for the needs of Patients, the Physicians shall undertake all reasonable activities, including attending seminars, keeping current with journals and other reasonable measures, to remain proficient in the practice of radiation oncology.  All seminars necessary to maintain licensure or competence shall be the responsibility of the Practice and the individual Physicians. At a minimum, the Practice shall ensure that each Physician participates in such continuing medical education as is necessary for the Physician to remain licensed.

 

SECTION 3.6                                        Initial Physicians.  The initial Physicians of the Practice shall be Drs. Chan, Fishburn, Fogel, Hesselgesser, Longo, Miller, Rodnick, Stella, Schweitzer, Scharlach, and 3 associate doctors who shall provide Radiation Oncology Services at the Cancer Centers, for a period of at least 24 months from the Effective Date, subject in each case to the earlier death or disability of the applicable initial Physician.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is acknowledged and agreed that Drs. Fishburn and Chan are expected to retire within 2 years and are practicing pursuant to reduced schedules as of the Effective Date.

 

SECTION 3.7                                        Additional Physicians.  The decision to employ or engage an additional Physician (“New Physician”) shall be made by the Practice (after consultation with the Company) and the terms of any employment contract or similar agreement between the Practice and such New Physician shall be determined by the Practice.  The Practice has the authority and responsibility to hire New Physicians for any of the Cancer Centers, as the Practice sees fit, in its sole discretion, provided that the cost to employ or engage any such New Physician shall be a Practice Expense.  Each New Physician shall be an employee or independent contractor of the Practice.

 

SECTION 3.8                                        Termination of Physicians.  The Practice shall consult with the Medical Advisory Board prior to terminating the employment or engagement of any Physician; provided, however, that all decisions with respect to removing Physicians shall be made by the Practice, in its sole and absolute discretion.  Each Physician’s right to treat Patients or otherwise

 

22



 

provide services at the Cancer Centers shall automatically terminate upon the termination of such Physician’s employment or engagement with the Practice.

 

SECTION 3.9                                        Cooperation.  The Practice shall, and shall request the Physicians to, cooperate with and assist the Company to control all costs and expenses relating to the operation of the Cancer Centers without sacrificing professional standards or patient care.  The Practice shall, and shall require Physicians to, exercise due care to ensure that, when being used by the Physicians, medical equipment utilized by the Practice is being used in a safe and efficient manner, and shall timely report any unsafe or unsatisfactory equipment of which the Practice, or any of the Physicians, is aware.

SECTION 3.10                                  Billing Information and Collection Policy.

 

(a)                                  The Practice shall promptly provide the Company with all billing information requested by the Company (including, but not limited to, appropriate provider numbers, the name of the Patient, the date of service, and the nature and extent of services provided) and any supporting medical information necessary to enable the Company to bill and collect the Cancer Centers and Practice’s charges pursuant hereto. The Practice shall cause each Physician to provide the Company with billing codes and complete descriptions supporting all procedures performed by such Physician, and shall comply with all reasonable requests by the Company to supplement such coding or descriptions for billing purposes.

 

(b)                                 All professional fee schedules for services shall be mutually agreed to by the Practice and the Company.  No discount, fee reduction, writeoff, delivery of a patient bill to outside collection services, or other waiver of the agreed fees shall be made by the Company without the prior written authorization of the Practice on a per-case basis, which authorization shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall be liable to reimburse the Practice in full for any writeoff or fee reduction not expressly authorized in advance by the Practice.

 

SECTION 3.11                                  Quality and Utilization Management.  The Practice acknowledges and agrees that a quality and utilization management program for determining the medical necessity and appropriateness of care rendered by the Practice provides controls and protections that help prevent potential overutilization with any fee-for-service arrangement including, but not limited to, those reimbursable under federal health insurance programs and also provides essential data to the Practice and the Company for the purposes of managing the Cancer Centers and negotiating, administering and maintaining Third-Party Payor contracts.  The Practice and the Company agree to develop and implement a quality and utilization management program in

 

23



 

accordance with recommendations made by the Company, the Practice, or the Medical Advisory Board or as required under Third-Party Payor contracts.  The Company is authorized by the Practice to prepare and distribute, after review and approval by Practice (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), reports of such program activities to employees of, and consultants to the Practice and the Company, to Third-Party Payors, and to such other Persons as are appropriate for the Company to carry out its obligations hereunder.

 

SECTION 3.12                                  Peer Review.  The Practice and the Company shall cooperate to develop, from time-to-time, peer review procedures for the Professional Staff providing services to the Patients.  The Practice shall provide the Company with prompt notice of any material quality of care concerns relating to the Physicians providing services on behalf of the Practice.  The Practice shall implement such corrective actions that the Practice, after consultation with the Medical Advisory Board, determines are necessary or appropriate to comply with the then current peer review procedures, community standards, and Laws.  The Practice and the Physicians will also comply with, and participate in, peer review programs reasonably required by the Company, and any entity with whom the Company and the Practice contracts with respect to the provision of Radiation Oncology Services at the Cancer Centers, including, but not limited to, Third-Party Payors.

 

SECTION 3.13                                  Practice Operational Authority.  The Practice shall have exclusive authority and control over day-to-day operations and Cancer Center staff decisions subject to the requirement that the Practice shall, at all times use its best efforts to comply with and follow: (a) the human resources policies of the Company and its Affiliates, (b) all employment Laws, (c) the Annual Budget, (d) all reimbursement rules of Medicare and all other Third-Party Payors and (e) all Laws as to which non-compliance would be materially detrimental to the Company, its Affiliates and/or the Practice.

(i)                                     an annual (on a calendar year basis, but adjusted for the period from the Effective Date to December 31, 2006) fee equal to the actual cost of the billing and collection services set forth in Section 2.4(k) at the Cancer Centers (the “Billing and Collection Fee”) up to a maximum of three percent (3%) of Practice Revenues.  All such costs shall be consistent with the Annual Budget and shall be Operational Expenses; and

 

(ii)                                  subject to Section 4.2, an annual (on a calendar year basis, but adjusted for the period from the Effective Date to December 31, 2006) fee (General Management Services Fee”) equal to 60% of the EBITDA of the Cancer Centers.

 

25


 

(b)           The amounts to be paid to the Company pursuant to the Billing and Collection Fee and the General Management Services Fee shall be prorated and payable monthly during the Term of this Agreement within 20 days after the end of each calendar month.

 

(c)           Payment of the Billing and Collection Fee and the General Management Services Fee is not intended to permit the Company to share in the Practice’s fees, but is acknowledged as the Parties’ negotiated agreement as to the reasonable fair market value of the equipment, support services, Personnel, office space, management, administration and other items and services furnished by Company pursuant to this Agreement, considering the nature and volume of the services required and the respective risks assumed by the Company and the Practice.  Payment of the Billing and Collection Fee and the General Management Services Fee is not intended to be, and shall not be interpreted to constitute, the payment of remuneration for referrals.

 

SECTION 4.2                 Retained Amount.

 

(a)           Throughout the Term, the Practice shall retain an annual amount equal to 40% of the EBITDA or the Minimum Retained Amount (as defined in Section 4.2(b), below), whichever is greater (the “Retained Amount”).  The Retained Amount is payable in monthly installments within 20 days after the end of each calendar month, and shall be paid from the Company Account.  The Retained Amount for any partial period shall be prorated.

 

(b)           The Retained Amount shall be no less than the amounts set forth below in Sections 4.2(b)(i)-(ii) (collectively, the “Minimum Retained Amount”).  In no event shall the Minimum Retained Amount be construed to reduce the amount of the Retained Amount otherwise due the Practice.  For purposes of calculating the Minimum Retained Amount, the twelve-month period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Term shall be referred to as “Year One,” the subsequent year ending on the second anniversary of the Term shall be referred to as “Year Two,” and so on.

 

(i)            During Year One through Year Three, the Minimum Retained Amount shall be Four Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($425,000) multiplied by an initial factor of 13 Physicians, for an aggregate annual payment not to exceed $5,525,000.

 

(ii)           During Year Four through Year Ten, the Minimum Retained Amount shall be Four Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($450,000) multiplied by an initial factor of 13 Physicians, for an aggregate annual payment not to exceed $5,850,000.

 

(c)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Practice Revenues in any annual period (adjusted for the period from the Effective Date to December 31, 2006) are less than $24,000,000, the Retained Amount in the subsequent period shall be reduced by the following formula, not to exceed $50,000 per Physician or $650,000 in the aggregate (whichever sum is less) in any individual year:

 

$ 30,000 X ($24,000,000 minus actual Practice Revenues) / $ 1,000,000 = Reduction of Retained Amount.

 

26



 

(d)           The Minimum Retained Amount may be increased by the mutual agreement of the Parties in the event the Practice opens new Cancer Centers.

 

SECTION 4.3                 Payments.

 

(a)           The Company shall deliver the Financial Statements which shall support the calculation of the payments to be made pursuant to Section 4.1 and 4.2; provided, however, that the payments shall be paid monthly based on estimates set forth in the Annual Budget.  The Company and the Practice may, from time to time by their mutual agreement, modify the estimate of revenues and expenses on a monthly basis in accordance with the Annual Budget, and adjust the actual results on a quarterly basis.

 

(b)           In the event that Practice Revenues are insufficient to pay all of the Operational Expenses for any period, all Operational Expenses other than the Billing and Collection Fee shall be paid in full prior to the payment of the Billing and Collection Fee, the Retained Amount and the General Management Services Fee.  Thereafter the priority of payments shall be as follows: (1) the Billing and Collection Fee, (2) the Retained Amount, and (3) the General Management Services Fee.

 

(c)           Any amounts due to the Practice under this Agreement that are not paid within 10 days of when such payment is due will have an one and one-half percent (1 ½%) per month finance charge assessed against the unpaid balance from the date due until the date of payment.

 

SECTION 4.4                 Reconciliation.  Adjustments to any payments made to the Company or the Practice pursuant to this Agreement shall be made to reconcile actual amounts due under this Agreement within 90 days after the end of each calendar year (pro-rated for any year for which this Agreement has been in effect less than the entire year) or earlier in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.3(a) above.  At such intervals, the Company shall determine the actual amounts due to each Party pursuant to this Agreement for such period and shall notify the Practice of the amount of payments, if any, owed by or due to each Party as a result of the reconciliation.  If payment is owed by any Party, such amount shall be paid to such Party within 10 Business Days of such notification.

 

SECTION 4.5                 Review of Financial Arrangements by the Practice.  The Practice shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to review the Company’s calculations of all payments, fees and expenses owed by or due to any Party or a third party under this Agreement (such costs and expenses to review the Company’s calculations are referred to herein as the “Practice Review Expense”); provided, however, that in the event the audit reveals a discrepancy of five percent (5%) or more in any amounts payable under this Agreement, Company shall pay the Practice Review Expense.  Upon reasonable notice to the Company, the Practice shall have the right to review the Company’s calculations or allocation of any such payments, fees or expenses and the Company shall provide the Practice, with all documents, reports, records and supporting materials used in determining such amounts.  Such documents shall be delivered to the Practice within a reasonable period of time after such request, but in any event within 15 Business Days.  Not later than 20 Business Days following the delivery of such documents to the Practice, the Practice may furnish the Company with written notification of any dispute

concerning any items shown thereon or omitted therefrom, together with a detailed explanation in support of the Practice’s position in respect thereof.  The Company and the Practice shall consult to resolve any dispute for a period of 15 Business Days following such notification to the Company.  If such 15 Business Day consultation period expires and the dispute has not been fully resolved, the matter shall be referred to any accounting firm which has not provided accounting services to any Party or its Affiliates within the prior three years and is chosen by the Medical Advisory Board (the “Accountants”), which shall resolve the dispute and render its decision (together with a brief explanation of the basis therefor) to the Practice and the Company not later than 20 Business Days following submission of the dispute to it.  The decision of such Accountants shall be a final determination of such amounts.  In the event that the Accountants resolve all disputes presented to it in the manner proposed by one of the Parties, the fees and expenses of the Accountants relating to the resolution of such dispute shall be paid by the other Party.  In all other events, the fees and expenses of the Accountants shall be shared in the same proportion that the Company’s position, on the one hand, and the Practices’ position, on the other, initially presented to the Accountants bears to the final resolution as determined by the Accountants.

 

SECTION 4.6                 Collateral Security.

 

(a)           Grant of Security Interest.  To the extent permitted by applicable Law, as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment when due of all (i) Operational Expenses (including, without limitation, Operational Expenses advanced or paid by the Company), (ii) Damages which any of the USCC Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification under the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with a Recoupment Claim, (iii) the General Management Services Fees and (iv) the Billing and Collection Fee (referred to herein collectively as, the “Secured Obligations”), the Practice hereby sells, assigns, mortgages, hypothecates, conveys and transfers to the Company, and hereby grants to the Company a continuing security interest (subordinate only to any security interest of Third Party Payors in Receivables owed by such payor) in all of the Practice’s rights, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables (other than the Governmental Receivables) which may be created or arise during the Term, together with any and all proceeds (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) and products thereof, accessions thereto and substitutions and additions therefor, regardless of the manner in which the entitlement to payment for such Receivables shall exist, whether as accounts, accounts receivable, notes receivable or other evidence of entitlement to the Receivables, and all of the Practice’s rights, title and interest (including its right to control the same), if any, in, to and under the Practice Lockbox Account and the sums on deposit therein (referred to collectively as the “Collateral”).

 

(b)           Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company shall be entitled to exercise in respect of the Collateral all of its rights, powers and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it by Law, in equity or otherwise, including all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, and shall be entitled in particular, but without limitation of the foregoing, to exercise the following rights, which the Practice agrees to be commercially reasonable: to sell, resell, assign and deliver, in its sole discretion, all or any of the Collateral, at public or private sale, at the Company’s main office or elsewhere, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Company may deem

 

28



 

satisfactory.  If any of the Collateral is sold by the Company upon credit or for future delivery, the Company shall not be liable for the failure of the purchaser to purchase or pay for the same and, in the event of any such failure, the Company may resell such Collateral.  In no event shall the Practice be credited with any part of the proceeds of sale of any Collateral until and to the extent cash payment in respect thereof has actually been received by the Company.  Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of the Practice, and the Practice hereby expressly waives all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal, and all rights to require the Company to marshal any assets in favor of the Practice or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Secured Obligations, that it has or may have under any rule of Law now existing or hereafter adopted. No demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by Law, as referred to below), all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Practice, shall be required in connection with any sale or other disposition of any part of the Collateral.  If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of any part of the Collateral shall be required under applicable Law, the Company shall give the Practice at least ten Business Days’ prior notice of the time and place of any public sale and of the time after which any private sale or other disposition is to be made. The Company shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale may have been given.  The Company may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. Upon each public sale and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, upon each private sale, the Company may purchase all or any of the Collateral being sold, free from any equity, right of redemption or other claim or demand, and may make payment therefor by endorsement and application (without recourse) of the Secured Obligations in lieu of cash as a credit on account of the purchase price for such Collateral.

 

(c)           Application of Proceeds. All proceeds collected by the Company upon any sale, other disposition of or realization upon any of the Collateral, together with all other moneys received by the Company hereunder, shall be applied as follows: (i) first, to the payment of all reasonable and necessary costs and expenses of such sale, disposition or other realization, including the reasonable costs and expenses of the Company and the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and counsel and all amounts advanced by the Company for the account of the Practice; (ii) second, after payment in full of the amounts specified in clause (i) above, to the ratable payment of all other Secured Obligations owing to the Company; and (iii) third, after payment in full of the amounts specified in clauses (i) and (ii) above, and following the termination of this Agreement, to the Practice or any other Person lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. The Practice shall remain liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of all proceeds realized upon sale or other disposition of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement and the aggregate amount of the sums referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above. Upon any sale of any Collateral hereunder by the Company (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial proceeding, or otherwise), the receipt of the Company or the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Company or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

 

29



 

(d)           Waivers.  The Practice, to the greatest extent not prohibited by applicable Law, hereby (i) agrees that it will not invoke, claim or assert the benefit of any rule of Law now or hereafter in effect (including, without limitation, any right to prior notice or judicial hearing in connection with the Company’s possession, custody or disposition of any Collateral or any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or redemption Law), or take or omit to take any other action, that would or could reasonably be expected to have the effect of delaying, impeding or preventing the exercise of any rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral, the absolute sale of any of the Collateral or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale thereof, and waives the benefit of all such Laws and further agrees that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted hereunder to the Company, but that it will permit the execution of every such power as though no such Laws were in effect, (ii) waives all rights that it has or may have under any rule of Law now existing or hereafter adopted to require the Company to marshal any Collateral or other assets in favor of the Practice or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Secured Obligations, and (iii) waives all rights that it has or may have under any rule of Law now existing or hereafter adopted to demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except notices expressly provided for herein); provided, however, at no time shall the Practice be required to undertake any action that endangers the health or safety of its Patients.

 

(e)           The Company; Standard of Care. The Company will hold all items of the Collateral at any time received under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof.  The obligations of the Company as holder of the Collateral and interests therein and with respect to the disposition thereof, and otherwise under this Agreement, are only those expressly set forth in this Agreement.  The powers conferred on the Company hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral, and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise such powers.  Except for treatment of the Collateral in its possession in a manner substantially equivalent to that which the Company accords its own property of a similar nature, and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Company shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to the Collateral.  The Company shall not be liable to the Practice (i) for any loss or damage sustained by the Practice as a result of the Company’s lawful exercise of its remedies against the Collateral, or (ii) for any loss, damage, depreciation or other diminution in the value of any of the Collateral that may occur as a result of or in connection with or that is in any way related to any exercise by the Company of any right or remedy under this Agreement, any failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or any delay in doing so, or any other act or failure to act on the part of the Company, except to the extent that the same is caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

(f)            Further Assurances; Attorney-in-Fact. The Practice agrees that it will join with the Company to execute and, at the Company’s expense, file and refile under the Uniform Commercial Code such financing statements, continuation statements and other documents and instruments in such offices as the Company may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate, and wherever required or permitted by Law, in order to perfect and preserve the Company’s security interest in the Collateral, and hereby authorizes the Company to file financing statements and amendments thereto relating to all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of the Practice where permitted by Law, and agrees to do such further acts and things (including, without limitation, making any notice filings with state tax or revenue authorities required to be

 

30



 

made by account creditors in order to enforce any Receivables) and to execute and deliver to the Company such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments as the Company may reasonably require or deem advisable to perfect, establish, confirm and maintain the security interest and Lien provided for herein, to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to further assure and confirm unto the Company its rights, powers and remedies hereunder.

 

In addition to the powers set forth in Section 2.4(k), the Practice hereby irrevocably appoints the Company its lawful attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Practice and in the name of the Practice, the Company or otherwise, and with full power of substitution in the premises (which power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable for so long as this Agreement shall be in effect), from time to time in the Company’s discretion after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (except for the actions described in clause (i) below, which may be taken by the Company without regard to whether any such a default has occurred) to take any action and to execute any instruments that the Company may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purpose of carrying out the provisions of the Company’s security interest in the Receivables, including, without limitation: (i) to sign the name of the Practice on any financing statement, continuation statement, notice or other similar document that, in the Company’s opinion, should be made or filed in order to perfect or continue perfected the security interest granted under this Agreement; (ii) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral; (iii) to receive, endorse and collect any checks, drafts, instruments, chattel paper and other orders for the payment of money made payable to the Practice representing any interest or other amount payable in respect of any of the Collateral and to give full discharge for the same; (iv) to pay or discharge taxes, Liens or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, any such payments made by the Company to become Secured Obligations of the Practice to the Company, due and payable immediately and without demand; (v) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Company may deem necessary or advisable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Company with respect to any of the Collateral; and (vi) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any and all of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Company were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes, and to do from time to time, at the Company’s option and the Practices’ expense, all other acts and things deemed necessary by the Company to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and to more completely carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

 

If the Practice fails to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement after written request to do so by the Company (provided that no such request shall be necessary at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default), the Company may itself perform, or cause the performance of, such covenant or agreement and may take any other action that it deems necessary and appropriate for the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral or its security interest therein, and the reasonable expenses so incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Practice.

 

31



 

(g)           Expenses of the Company.  All reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the Company in connection with the failure by the Practice to perform or observe any provision of this Section 4.6, and the exercise or enforcement of any rights of the Company under this Section 4.6, or any other action taken by the Company hereunder shall be deemed an obligation of the Practice and constitute a Secured Obligation and the Company may apply the Collateral to the payment of or reimbursement of itself for such liability.

 

(h)           Company Lender Loans.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.6, to the extent that any Company Lender Loan may be outstanding, then the Company’s security interest in the Collateral granted hereby may be subordinate to, and only to, any security interest of such Company Lender in such Collateral.

 

(i)            Assignment.  To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Company may assign all of its rights and interests under this Agreement as security for loans and other financing arrangements obtained by the Company from any other Person or entity, whether now existing or hereafter arising.  Any such assignee shall have all of the Company’s rights and remedies, but none of the Company’s obligations, under this Agreement.  The Practice shall cooperate with the Company and execute all necessary documents in connection with the assignment of the Collateral to the Company or, at the Company’s option, any assignee.

 

SECTION 4.7                 Deposit of Receivables.  Promptly upon the request of the Company, the Practice shall provide the Company with an accurate and complete list of all Third-Party Payors.  The Company shall have the right (but not the obligation) to deliver a letter, substantially in the form as attached hereto as Exhibit C, to all Third-Party Payors (the “Payor Instruction Letter”) or otherwise notify such Third-Party Payors of the contents thereof.  The Payor Instruction Letter shall direct payments on the Receivables to be deposited into a bank account at the Depository Bank designated by the Company, (the “Company Account”).   For Receivables for services rendered to patients who participate in the Medicare program, the Medicaid program, other government health care programs, and any other Third Party Payors that will not allow the Practice’s Receivables to be deposited into the Company Account, the Practice shall establish a bank account at the Depository Bank (the “Practice Lockbox Account”) and the Practice shall enter into an agreement with the Depository Bank that sets forth a standing order from the Practice to transfer or remit all cash proceeds, if any, on a daily basis from the Practice Lockbox Account to the Company Account (the “Lockbox Account Agreement”).  To the extent that the Practice receives any payments contrary to the terms of the Payor Instruction Letter or receives any payments directly (including, without limitation, any amounts received directly from Patients at the time medical services are rendered or otherwise), the Practice agrees to deposit all such payments received by the Practice into the Practice Lockbox Account. The Company is hereby granted full power and authority to pay and shall pay in a timely manner, out of the funds in the Company Account, the Retained Amount, the General Management Services Fee, all Operational Expenses (including, without limitation, all Billing and Collection Fees), and all other disbursements described in Section 4.6(a) and to reimburse itself, out of the funds in the Company Account, for all Operational Expenses advanced or paid by it.  The instructions set forth in the Payor Instruction Letter and the Lockbox Account Agreement shall be revocable by the Practice; provided, however, that if the Practice revokes such instructions or agreement during the Term, such revocation shall constitute an Event of

 

32



 

Default on the part of the Practice and the Company shall be entitled to seek an order from a court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance to “sweep” the Practice Lockbox pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, in the event the Company takes the foregoing actions, the Practice shall still be entitled to retain the amounts to which it is entitled under this Agreement.  Following termination or expiration of the Term, the Company shall immediately take all action and execute all instruments as the Practice may reasonably request in order to notify the Third-Party Payors of such termination. The Practice shall not: (a) close the Practice Lockbox Account or establish a replacement account or (b) amend, modify, supplement, extend, renew, restate, replace or terminate the Lockbox Account Agreement, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

 

SECTION 4.8                 Termination of Security Interest.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Practice pursuant to Section 5.3 (a) through (g), then the Practice shall have the right to revoke the instructions in any Payor Instruction Letter regarding the remittance of funds into the Company Account and revoke or modify any instructions to the Depository Bank regarding the transfer or remittance of funds to the Company Account; in each case to ensure that all Receivables are remitted directly to the Practice.  For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Practice takes any of the foregoing actions, the Practice shall still be obligated to pay to the Company the amounts to which the Company is entitled under this Agreement.

 

SECTION 4.9                 Offset for Damages.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that any USCC Indemnitee incurs any Damages in connection with a Recoupment Claim, the Practice agrees that the amounts to be retained by, and disbursed to, the Practice under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Retained Amount) shall be offset by the amount of such Damages and paid each month directly to such USCC Indemnitee, in lieu of being disbursed to the Practice, at 40% of all such sums due the Practice (the “Offset Amount”), until such Damages are paid in full; and the Practice hereby agrees that to the extent that any Damages in connection with a Recoupment Claim are outstanding during any month, the Practice shall have no right to retain, or any claim against the Company or otherwise for, any amounts otherwise due under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Retained Amount), subject to the requirement that the Practice pay no more than 40% of all such sums due the Practice each month.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Person that is a stockholder of the Practice is not a Seller or an Affiliate of a Seller then the Offset Amount payable to such USCC Indemnitee shall be equal to the Offset Amount multiplied by the percentage of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Practice held directly or indirectly by the Sellers or their respective Affiliates (including, without limitation, the shares of Capital Stock of the Practice that the Sellers or their respective Affiliates have the right to acquire, control, vote or hold).

SECTION 5.4         [Intentionally omitted].

 

SECTION 5.5         Duties And Remedies Upon Expiration Or Termination.

 

(a)           Except as necessary to provide care to any Patient undergoing treatment at any Cancer Centers at the time of the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, the Practice and the Company hereby agree to perform, in addition to their obligations provided for elsewhere in this Agreement and continuing after such expiration or termination of this Agreement, such steps as are otherwise customarily and reasonably required to wind up their relationship under this Agreement in as orderly a manner as possible.  Except as specifically set forth herein, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, neither Party shall have any further obligation hereunder with the exception of obligations accruing prior to the date of such expiration or earlier termination and obligations, promises and covenants contained herein which extend beyond the terms hereof including, without limitation, any indemnities, restrictive covenants and access to books and records.  Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, the financial arrangements set forth in Article IV shall be pro-rated between the Parties to reflect any partial fiscal year and the Practice and the Company shall be paid any amounts owed to them from and to the extent of available funds (if any) in the Company Account, the Practice Lockbox and from collections of Receivables. From and after any expiration or earlier termination, each Party shall provide the other with reasonable access to books and records then owned or controlled by it to permit such requesting Party to satisfy legal reporting and contractual obligations which may be required of it.

 

(b)           In addition to the foregoing, upon termination of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to Section 5.2, the Practice shall immediately (i) quit and surrender the Cancer Centers in as good condition as reasonable use and wear thereof will permit and (ii) remove from the Cancer Centers all personal property of the Practice and of any Physician and shall, at its own expense, repair any damage caused to the Cancer Centers by reason of such removal.  If the Practice shall fail to do so, the Company may, without notice and without prejudice to any other remedy available, enter and take possession of the Cancer Centers and remove such personal property without being liable to prosecution or any claim for damage suffered by the Practice or the Physicians.

 

(c)           Upon termination of this Agreement by the Practice pursuant to Section 5.3(a) through (g), the Company shall immediately (i) quit and surrender the Cancer Centers in as good condition as reasonable use and wear thereof will permit and (ii) remove from the Cancer Centers all personal property of the Company and shall, at its own expense, repair any damage caused to the Cancer Centers by reason of such removal.  If the Company shall fail to do so, the Practice may, without notice and without prejudice to any other remedy available, enter and take possession of the Cancer Centers and remove such personal property without being liable to prosecution or any claim for damage suffered by the Company. If the Company remains

 

37



 

in possession or control of any Cancer Centers beyond the expiration or termination of this Agreement in violation of this Section 5.5(c), without the written consent of the Practice, such possession or control shall not be deemed to create any rights whatsoever in the Company.

 

(d)           If a Party remains in possession or control of any Cancer Center beyond the expiration or termination of this Agreement, without the written consent of the remaining Party, such possession or control shall not be deemed to create any rights whatsoever in the Cancer Center.

(a)           Organization and Qualification.  The Practice is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of California, and has all corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently being conducted and as proposed to be conducted.

 

(b)           Authority.  The Practice has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and all other instruments or agreements to be executed in connection herewith, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Practice, and no other proceedings on the part of the Practice are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.  This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Practice and, assuming this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Practice enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

 

(c)           Consents and Approvals; No Violations.  Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by the Practice, nor the consummation by the Practice of the transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance by the Practice with any of the provisions hereof will (i) conflict with or result in any breach of any provision of the organizational documents of the Practice, (ii) require any filing with, or consent of a Governmental Authority, agency or court or other Person or entity by the Practice, (iii) (with or without the giving or receipt of notice or passage of time or both) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute a default or give rise to any right of termination, amendment, cancellation or acceleration under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease, license, contract, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which the Practice is a party (or becomes a party) or by which any of its properties or assets may be bound or subject, other than such violations, breaches, defaults, terminations, amendments, cancellations, or accelerations that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iv) violate any writ, injunction or decree applicable to the Practice or any of its properties or assets.

(d)           Compliance With Laws; Licenses.

 

(i)            To the knowledge of the Practice (without independent investigation or inquiry) and except for those matters that would not individually or in the aggregate constitute a Material Adverse Effect, the conduct of the operations of the Practice (including the conduct of any Physician or any other Practice employee) has not violated, and as presently conducted does not violate, in any material respect any Laws, including, but not limited to, the Clinical Laboratories Improvements Act of 1988, or any other promulgations of any court or Governmental Authority or agency, including, but not limited to, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the CMS or any medical industry standards, nor has the Practice received any notice of any such violation which remains outstanding.

 

(ii)           To the knowledge of the Practice (without independent investigation or inquiry), the Practice has all licenses, certificates, permits, approvals, franchises, notices and authorizations (“Permits”) which are reasonably necessary for the conduct of its operations as currently conducted and as proposed to be conducted (including, without limitation, accreditations and certifications as a provider of healthcare services eligible to receive payment and compensation and to participate under Medicare and Medicaid), except for Permits that the failure to hold would not have a Material Adverse Effect.  To the Practice’s knowledge (without independent investigation or inquiry), all of such Permits are in full force and effect, the Practice has not engaged in any activity which would cause or permit revocation, modification, cancellation or suspension of any such Permit, and no action or proceeding looking to or contemplating the revocation, modification, cancellation or suspension of any such Permit is pending or threatened.  The Practice has no knowledge of any default or claimed or purported or alleged default or state of facts which, with or without the giving or receipt of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute a default by the Practice under, or give rise to a right of revocation, modification, cancellation or suspension of, any such Permit.

 

(iii)          The Practice qualifies as (and will continue to qualify during the Term as) a “group practice” as defined in the federal physician self referral law at 42 USC § 1395nn, the applicable regulations and any similar state laws.

 

(e)           Litigation; Investigations.  Except as set forth on Schedule 6.1(e), and except for those matters that would not individually or in the aggregate constitute a Material Adverse Effect, (i) there are no suits, claims, proceedings, investigations or reviews which are pending or, to the knowledge of the Practice, threatened against or affecting the Practice, any Physician, any director or officer (in their capacity as such) of the Practice or any properties or assets used by the Practice in conducting its businesses; (ii) to the knowledge of the Practice (without independent investigation or inquiry), no investigation or review by any Governmental Authority, agency or court or other regulatory body with respect to either the Practice or any Physician or other practice employee is pending, nor has any Governmental Authority, agency or court or other regulatory body (including trade associations) indicated to the Practice an intention to conduct the same; and (iii) to the knowledge of the Practice (without independent investigation or inquiry), there is no action, suit or proceeding pending or threatened against or affecting the Practice or any Physician or other Practice employee, at Law or in equity, or before any Governmental Authority or other regulatory body.

 

(f)            Professional Liability.  To the knowledge of the Practice (without independent investigation or inquiry), no Physician or other employee of the Practice has (i) ever

 

39



 

had his or her license to practice medicine or other profession in any state or his or her Drug Enforcement Agency Number suspended, relinquished, terminated, restricted or revoked; (ii) ever been reprimanded, sanctioned or disciplined by any licensing board, or any federal, state or local society or agency, Governmental Authority or specialty board; (iii) within the past three years had entered against him or her final judgment in, or settled without judgment, a malpractice or similar action for an aggregate award or amount to the plaintiff in excess of $25,000; or (iv) within the past three years had his or her medical staff privileges at any hospital or medical facility suspended, involuntarily terminated, restricted or revoked.

 

(g)           Ownership of Collateral.  The Practice owns, or has valid rights with respect to, all Collateral purported to be pledged by it hereunder, free and clear of any Liens except for the Liens granted to the Company pursuant to this Agreement.  No security agreement, financing statement or other public notice with respect to all or any part of the Collateral is on file or of record in any government or public office, and the Practice has not filed or consented to the fling of any such statement or notice, except Uniform Commercial Code financing statements naming the Company as secured party.

 

(h)           Security Interests; Filings.  This Agreement, together with the filing of duly completed and executed Uniform Commercial Code financing statements naming the Practice as debtor, the Company as secured party, and describing the Collateral, in the State of California, which have been duly executed and delivered by the Practice and delivered to the Company for filing, creates, and at all times shall constitute, a valid and perfected security interest in and Lien upon the Collateral in favor of the Company to the extent a security interest therein can be perfected by such filings or possession, as applicable, superior and prior to the rights of all other Persons therein, and no other or additional filings, registrations, recordings or actions are or shall be necessary or appropriate in order to maintain the perfection and priority of such Lien and security interest, other than actions required with respect to Collateral of the types excluded from Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or from the filing requirements under such Article 9 by reason of Section 9-104 or 9-302 of the Uniform Commercial Code and other than continuation statements required under the Uniform Commercial Code.

 

(i)            Receivables.  Each Receivable is, or at the time it arises will be, a bona fide, valid and legally enforceable indebtedness of the account debtor according to its terms, arising out of or in connection with the sale, lease or performance of goods or services by the Practice.

 

SECTION 6.2         Representations and Warranties of the Company.  The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Practice as follows:

(c)           Consents and Approvals; No Violations.  Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by the Company, nor the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance by the Company with any of the provisions hereof, will (i) conflict with or result in any breach of any provision of the charter or bylaws of the Company, (ii) require any filing with, or consent of, a Governmental Authority, agency or court or other Person or entity by the Company, (iii) (with or without the giving or receipt of notice or passage of time or both) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute a default or give rise to any right of termination, amendment, cancellation or acceleration under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease, license, contract, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which the Company is a party (or becomes a party) or by which any of its properties or assets may be bound or subject, other than such violations, breaches, defaults, terminations, amendments, cancellations, or accelerations that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iv) violate any writ, injunction or decree applicable to the Company or any of its properties or assets.

(i)            To the knowledge of the Company (without independent investigation or inquiry) and except for those matters that would not individually or in the aggregate constitute a Material Adverse Effect, the conduct of the operations of the Company has not violated, and as presently conducted does not violate in any material respect any Laws, including, but not limited to, any promulgation, interpretative advice or guidance of any court or Governmental Authority or agency, including, but not limited to, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the CMS or any medical industry standards, nor has the Company received any notice of any such violation that remains outstanding.

 

(ii)           To the knowledge of the Company (without independent investigation or inquiry), the Company has all licenses, certificates, permits, approvals, franchises, notices and authorizations (“Company Permits”) required for the conduct of its operations as currently conducted, except for such Company Permits which the failure to obtain would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  To the Company’s knowledge (without independent investigation or inquiry), all Company Permits are in full force and effect, the Company has not engaged in any activity that would cause or permit revocation, modification, cancellation or suspension of any such Company Permit, and no action or proceeding looking to or contemplating the revocation, modification, cancellation or suspension of any such Company Permit is pending or threatened.  The Company has no knowledge of any default or claimed or purported or alleged default or state of facts that, with or without the giving or receipt of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute a default by the Company

 

41



 

under, or give rise to a right of revocation, modification, cancellation or suspension of, any Company Permit.

 

(e)           Litigation; Investigations.  Except as provided in Schedule 6.2(e), and except for those matters that would not individually or in the aggregate constitute a Material Adverse Effect, there are no suits, claims, proceedings, investigations or reviews pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its directors or officers (in their capacity as such) of the Company or any properties or assets used by the Company in conducting its businesses.  To the knowledge of the Company (without independent investigation or inquiry), no investigation or review by any Governmental Authority, agency or court or other regulatory body (including trade associations) with respect to the Company or any of its employees is pending or threatened or probable of initiation, nor has any Governmental Authority, agency or court or other regulatory body (including trade associations) indicated to the Company an intention to conduct the same, and, to the knowledge of the Company (without independent investigation or inquiry), there is no action, suit or proceeding pending or threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its employees, at Law or in equity, or before any Governmental Authority or other regulatory body.

The obligations of each Party to be insured for acts and occurrences during the Term shall be binding on the Parties and shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.  In the event any such insurance is written on a “claims-made” rather than an “occurrence” basis, any necessary reporting endorsements (“tail insurance”) shall be procured by the responsible Party.

 

SECTION 8.4         Indemnification.  Except to the extent that this Section 8.4 may have the effect of reducing or eliminating any insurance coverage that would otherwise be available to pay damages suffered by any Party, each of the Parties shall have the following rights to indemnification.

 

(a)           Indemnification by the Practice.  The Practice shall indemnify and hold the Company, its Affiliates and their respective permitted successors and assigns and any of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (collectively, the “Company Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all losses, obligations, liabilities, settlement payments, awards, judgments, fines, penalties, damages, deficiencies, taxes and reasonable expenses and costs, including reasonable attorneys’, accountants’ and auditors’ fees (and any reasonable experts’ fees) and court costs (each referred to individually as a “Loss”), incurred by the Company Indemnitees, arising out of or in any way related to: (i) any material breach or default by the Practice of any term, condition, representation or covenant contained in this Agreement; (ii) any sexual harassment, discrimination, wrongful termination or other similar claim against the Company as a result of actions taken by the Practice or any Physician; (iii) any professional malpractice claim arising out of acts committed or omitted by the Practice or the Physicians; (iv) any claim, arising from any act prohibited under Medicare or Medicaid alleging that the Practice or any Physician: (1) made a false statement or representation of a material fact in any application for any benefit or payment; (2) made a false statement or representation of a material fact for use in determining rights to any benefit or payment; or (3) failed to disclose knowledge of the occurrence of an event affecting the initial or continued right to any benefit or payment on its behalf or on behalf of another, with intent to secure such benefit or payment fraudulently; (v) any Practice Taxes; (vi) any act prohibited under any healthcare Law that was committed or omitted by the Practice; or (vii) any defects or dangerous conditions at the Cancer Centers or in any FF&E caused by or which are the responsibility of the Practice, the Physicians or any of the Practice’s authorized agents.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in each case above, to the extent such Loss arises out of or relates to the negligent, reckless or wrongful acts or omissions of the Company Indemnitees, the Loss shall be shared by the Parties in proportion to

 

45


 

 

 

their relative contributions to its occurrence as determined by arbitration pursuant to Article X. No Company Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification under this Sections 8.4(a), unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred by the Company Indemnitees exceeds $50,000, whereupon, the Company Indemnitees shall be entitled to be indemnified for all Losses on a dollar-for-dollar basis from the first dollar of Losses

 

(b)                                 Indemnification by the Company.  The Company shall indemnify and hold the Practice, its Affiliates and their respective permitted successors and assigns and any of their officers, directors, employees, independent contractors, representatives and agents, and the Physicians (collectively, the “Practice Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any Loss incurred by the Practice Indemnitees arising out of or in any way related to: (i) any material breach or default by the Company of any term condition, representation or covenant contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the failure to provide the Practice with the space reasonably necessary to conduct its professional medical services as required under this Agreement); (ii) any sexual harassment, discrimination, wrongful termination or other similar claim against the Practice or any Physician as a result of actions taken by the Company or any of the Company’s authorized agents; (iii) any claim, arising from any act prohibited under Medicare or Medicaid alleging that the Company: (1) made a false statement or representation of a material fact in any application for any benefit or payment; (2) made a false statement or representation of a material fact for use in determining rights to any benefit or payment; or (3) failed to disclose knowledge of the occurrence of an event affecting the initial or continued right to any benefit or payment on its behalf or on behalf of another, with intent to secure such benefit or payment fraudulently; (iv) any Company Taxes; (v) any defects or dangerous conditions at the Cancer Centers or in any FF&E caused by or which are the responsibility of the Company; or (vi) any act prohibited under any healthcare Law that was committed or omitted by the Company; (vii) any claim with respect to the Leases as a result of a material breach of the Leases by USCC or its Affiliates and having a Material Adverse Effect on the Practice.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in each case above, to the extent such Loss arises out of or relate to the negligent, reckless or wrongful acts or omissions of the Practice, the Physicians or any of the Practice’s agents, the Loss shall be shared by the Parties in proportion to their relative contributions to its occurrence as determined by arbitration pursuant to Article X.

SECTION 8.5                          Indemnification Procedure.  Whenever any claim shall arise for indemnification hereunder, the Party entitled to indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall provide written notice to the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) within 10 days after becoming aware of any such claim to indemnification, and shall state the facts constituting the basis for such claim.  In connection with any claim for indemnification hereunder resulting from

 

46



 

or arising out of any claim or legal proceeding by a Person who is not a party to this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party, at its sole cost and expense and upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, may assume the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, unless such assumption of defense by the Indemnifying Party is not reasonable under the circumstances. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such action, with its own counsel and at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such claim or litigation resulting therefrom, the Indemnified Party may defend against such claim or litigation in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling such claim or litigation, after giving notice of the same to the Indemnifying Party, on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate but after consultation with the Indemnifying Party; and no action taken by the Indemnified Party in accordance with such defense and settlement shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations herein provided with respect to any Loss resulting therefrom.

 

ARTICLE IX

SECTION 9.1                          Confidential Information and Trade Secrets.  All Confidential Information and Trade Secrets belong to and shall remain the property of the Company and the Practice, as the case may be.

Each Party therefore covenants and agrees that it will not (and it will ensure that each of its employees will not), during or after the Term, disclose any of the other Party’s Confidential Information or Trade Secrets to any Person or entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever, without the written consent of the other Party, except (a) as necessary in the proper performance of its obligations hereunder, (b) for any such Confidential Information or Trade Secrets that becomes public through no fault of the disclosing Party, or (c) as may be required by Law.  Each Party hereby acknowledges that if it or any of its employees or agents engage in activities within the limitations of this Section 9.1, money damages shall be an inadequate remedy, and shall be entitled to obtain, in addition to any other remedy provided by Law or equity, an injunction against the violation of such Party’s obligation hereunder.

 

SECTION 9.2                          Books and Records.  Each Party shall maintain and make available to the other Party accurate books, records, and accounts relating to the services provided by such Party pursuant to this Agreement. Such books and records shall be available at their place of keeping for inspection by the other Party or its representative for the purpose of determining whether the correct amounts have been retained and/or paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and for any other valid purpose.  Each Party shall have the right to conduct an audit (at such Party’s expense) upon fifteen (15) days advance written notice, but not more frequently than twice each calendar year.

        The holders of the common stock shall exclusively possess all voting power. Each holder of shares of common stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share held by such holder, except as to the cumulation of votes for the election of directors. Subject to any provision for a liquidation account, in the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the savings bank, the holders of the common stock shall be entitled, after payment or provision for payment of all debts and liabilities of the savings bank, to receive the remaining assets of the savings bank available for distribution, in cash or in kind. Each share of common stock shall have the same relative rights as and be identical in all respects with all the other shares of common stock.

        SECTION 6.    Preemptive Rights.    Holders of the capital stock of the savings bank shall not be entitled to preemptive rights with respect to any shares of the savings bank which may be issued.

        SECTION 7.    Directors.    The savings bank shall be under the direction of a Board of Directors. The authorized number of directors, as stated in the savings bank's bylaws, shall not be fewer than five nor more than fifteen except when a greater number is approved by the OTS.

If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the mail, addressed to the shareholder at the address as it appears on the stock transfer books or records of the savings bank as of the record date prescribed in Section 6 of this Article II with postage prepaid. When any shareholders' meeting, either annual or special, is adjourned for 30 days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting. It shall not be necessary to give any notice of the time or place of any meeting adjourned for less than 30 days or of the business to be transacted at the meeting, other than an announcement at the meeting at which such adjournment is taken.

        SECTION 6.    Fixing of Record Date.    For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose, the board of directors shall fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders. Such date in any case shall be not more than 60 days and, in case of a meeting of shareholders, not fewer than 10 days prior to the date on which the particular action, requiring such determination of shareholders, is to be taken.

This list of shareholders shall be kept on file at the home office of the savings bank and shall be subject to inspection by any shareholder at any time during usual business hours for a period of 20 days prior to such meeting. Such list also shall be produced and kept open at the time and place of the

        SECTION 8.    Quorum.    A majority of the outstanding shares of the savings bank entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders.

At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. The shareholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to constitute less than a quorum.

        SECTION 9.    Proxies.    At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may vote by proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or by his duly authorized attorney-in-fact. Proxies solicited on behalf of the management shall be voted as directed by the shareholder or, in the absence of such direction, as determined by a majority of the board of directors. No proxy shall be valid more than eleven months from the date of its execution except for a proxy coupled with an interest.

        SECTION 10.    Voting of Shares in the Name of Two or More Persons.    When ownership stands in the name of two or more persons, in the absence of written directions to the savings bank to the contrary, at any meeting of the shareholders of the savings bank any one or more of such shareholders may cast, in person or by proxy, all votes to which such ownership is entitled. In the event an attempt is made to cast conflicting votes, in person or by proxy, by the several persons in whose names shares of stock stand, the vote or votes to which those persons are entitled shall be cast as directed by a majority of those holding such and present in person or by proxy at such meeting, but no votes shall be cast for such stock if a majority cannot agree.

        SECTION 11.    Voting of Shares by Certain Holders.    Shares standing in the name of another corporation may be voted by any officer, agent or proxy as the bylaws of such corporation may prescribe, or, in the absence of such provision, as the board of directors of such corporation may determine. Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian, or conservator may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares into his name. Shares standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares held by him without a transfer of such shares into his name. Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver, and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without the transfer into his name if authority to do so is contained in an appropriate order of the court or other public authority by which such receiver was appointed.

        A shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee, and thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to vote the shares so transferred.

        Neither treasury shares of its own stock held by the savings bank nor shares held by another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote for the election of directors of such other corporation are held by the savings bank, shall be voted at any meeting or counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time for purposes of any meeting.

        SECTION 12.    Cumulative Voting.    Every shareholder entitled to vote at an election for directors shall have the right to vote, in person by proxy, the number of shares owned by the shareholder for as many persons as there are directors to be elected and for whose election the shareholder has a right to vote, or to cumulate the votes by giving one candidate as many votes as the number of such directors to be elected multiplied by the number of shares shall equal or by distributing such votes on the same principle among any number of candidates.

        SECTION 13.    Inspectors of Election.    In advance of any meeting of shareholders, the board of directors may appoint any persons other than nominees for office as inspectors of election to act at such meeting or any



adjournment. The number of inspectors shall be either one or three. Any such appointment shall not be altered at the meeting. If inspectors of election are not so appointed, the chairman of the board or one of the presidents may, or on the request of not fewer than 10 percent of the votes represented at the meeting shall, make such appointment at the meeting. If appointed at the meeting, the majority of the votes present shall determine whether one or three inspectors are to be appointed. In case any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment by the board of directors in advance of the meeting or at the meeting by the chairman of the board or one of the presidents.

        Unless otherwise prescribed by regulations of the OTS, the duties of such inspectors shall include: determining the number of shares and the voting power of each share, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, and the authenticity, validity and effect of proxies; receiving votes, ballots or consents; hearing and determining all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the rights to vote; counting and tabulating all votes or consents; determining the result; and such acts as may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders.

        SECTION 14.    Director Elections.    The board of directors may nominate candidates for election as directors. Ballots bearing the names of all persons nominated by the board of directors and by shareholders shall be provided for use at the annual meeting. However, if the board of directors shall fail or refuse to act at least 20 days prior to the annual meeting, nominations for directors may be made at the annual meeting by any shareholder entitled to vote and shall be voted upon.

        SECTION 15.    New Business.    Any new business to be taken up at the annual meeting shall be stated in writing and filed with the secretary of the savings bank at least five days before the annual meeting, and all business so stated, proposed and filed shall be considered at the annual meeting; but no other proposal shall be acted upon at the annual meeting. Any shareholder may make any other proposal at the annual meeting and the same may be discussed and considered, but unless stated in writing and filed with the secretary at least five days before the meeting, such proposal shall be laid over for action at an adjourned, special or annual meeting of the shareholders taking place 30 days or more thereafter. This provision shall not prevent the consideration and approval or disapproval at the annual meeting of reports of officers, directors, and committees; but in connection with such reports, no new business shall be acted upon at such annual meeting unless stated and filed as herein provided.

        SECTION 16.    Informal Action by Shareholders.    Any action required to be taken at a meeting of the shareholders, or any other action which may be taken at a meeting of the shareholders, may be taken without a meeting if consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be given by all shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter.

ARTICLE III—BOARD OF DIRECTORS

        SECTION 1.    General Powers.    The business and affairs of this savings bank shall be under the direction of its board of directors. The board of directors shall annually elect a chairman of the board and one or more presidents and shall designate, when present, either the chairman of the board, one of the presidents, an executive vice president, a senior vice president, or a vice president to preside at its meetings.

        SECTION 2.    Number and Term.    The board of directors shall consist of six members. The directors shall be elected annually, and shall serve for the ensuing year and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified.

The persons authorized to call meetings of the board of directors may fix any place as the place for holding that meeting.

        Members of the board of directors may participate in regular or special meetings by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. Such participation shall constitute presence in person and, if the board of directors so determines, shall constitute attendance for purpose of entitlement to compensation pursuant to Section 11 of this Article.


        SECTION 4.    Qualification.    Each director shall at all times be the beneficial owner of not less than 100 shares of capital stock of the savings bank unless the savings bank is a wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company.

        SECTION 5.    Notice.    Written notice of any special meeting shall be given to each director at least two days prior thereto when delivered personally or by telegram or at least five days prior thereto when delivered by mail at the address at which the director is most likely to be reached. Such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the mail so addressed, with postage prepaid if mailed or when delivered to the telegraph company if sent by telegram. Any director may waive notice of any meeting by a writing filed with the secretary. The attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any meeting of the board of directors need to be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.

        SECTION 6.    Quorum.    A majority of the number of directors fixed by Section 2 of this Article III shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the board of directors; but if less than such majority is present at a meeting, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time. Notice of any adjourned meeting shall be given in the same manner as prescribed by Section 5 of this Article III.

        SECTION 7.    Manner of Acting.    The act of a majority of the directors present at a duly convened meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the board of directors, unless a greater number is prescribed by the regulations of the OTS or these bylaws.

        SECTION 8.    Action Without a Meeting.    Any action required or permitted to be taken by the board of directors at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by all of the directors.

        SECTION 9.    Resignation.    Any director may resign at any time by sending a written notice of such resignation to the home office of the savings bank addressed to the chairman of the board or one of the presidents. Unless otherwise specified, such resignation shall take effect upon receipt by the chairman of the board or one of the presidents. More than three consecutive absences from regular meetings of the board of directors, unless excused by resolution of the board of directors, shall automatically constitute a resignation, effective when such resignation is accepted by the board of directors.

        SECTION 10.    Vacancies.    Any vacancy on the board of directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors although less than a quorum of the board of directors. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected to serve until the next election of directors by the shareholders. Any directorship to be filled by reason of an increase in the number of directors for may be filled by election by the board of directors for a term of office continuing only until the next election of directors by the shareholders.

        Members of either standing or special committees may be allowed such compensation for attendance, whether in person or by telephone, at committee meetings as the Board of directors may determine from time to time.

        SECTION 12.    Presumption of Assent.    A director of the savings bank who is present at a meeting of the board of directors at which action on any savings bank matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless his dissent or abstention shall be entered into the minutes of the meeting or unless he shall file a written dissent to such action with the person acting as the secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall forward such dissent by registered mail to the secretary of the savings bank within five days after the date a copy of the minutes of the meeting is received. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a director who voted in favor of such action.


        SECTION 13.    Removal of Directors.    At a meeting of shareholders called expressly for that purpose, any director may be removed for cause by a vote of the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. If less than the entire board is to be removed, no one of the directors may be removed if the votes cast against the removal would be sufficient to elect a director if then cumulatively voted at an election of the class of directors of which such director is a part. Whenever the holders of the shares of any class are entitled to elect one or more directors by the provisions of the charter or supplemental sections thereto, the provisions of this section shall apply, in respect to the removal of a director or directors so elected, to the vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of that class and not to the vote of the outstanding shares as a whole.

Special meetings of the executive committee may be called by any member thereof upon not less than one day's notice stating the place, date, and hour of the meeting, which notice may be written or oral. Any member of the executive committee may waive notice of any meeting and no notice of any meeting need be given to any member thereof who attends in person. The notice of a meeting of the executive committee need not state the business proposed to be transacted at the meeting.

        SECTION 5.    Quorum.    A majority of the members of the executive committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting thereof, and action of the Executive committee must be authorized by the affirmative vote of a majority of the members present at a meeting at which a quorum is present.

        SECTION 9.    Procedure.    The executive committee shall elect a presiding officer from its members and may fix its own rules of procedure which shall not be inconsistent with these bylaws. It shall keep regular minutes



of its proceedings and report the same to the board of directors for its information at the meeting held next after the proceedings shall have occurred

One of the presidents shall be the chief executive officer, unless the board of directors designates the chairman of the board as chief executive officer. The offices of secretary and treasurer may be held by the same person and a vice president may also be either the secretary or the treasurer. The board of directors may designate one or more vice presidents as executive vice president or senior vice president. The board of directors also may elect or authorize the appointment of such other officers as the business of this savings bank may require.

Each officer shall hold office until a successor has been duly elected and qualified or until the officer's death, resignation, or removal in the manner hereinafter provided. Election or appointment of an officer, employee, or agent shall not of itself create contractual rights. The board of directors may authorize the savings bank to enter into an employment contract with any officer in accordance with regulations of the OTS; but no such contract shall impair the right of the board of directors to remove any officer at any time in accordance with Section 3 of this Article V.

        SECTION 3.    Removal.    Any officer may be removed by the board of directors whenever in its judgment the best interests of the savings bank would be served thereby, but such removal, other than for cause, shall be without prejudice to the contractual rights, if any, of the person so removed.

Such certificates shall be signed by the chief executive officer or by any other officer of the savings bank authorized by the board of directors, attested by the secretary or an assistant secretary, and sealed with the corporate seal or a facsimile thereof. The signatures of such officers upon a certificate may be facsimiles if the certificate is manually signed on behalf of a transfer agent or a registrar other than the savings bank itself or one of its employees.
