2023 Threshold” means $[***]; provided, however, that the 2023 Threshold shall be reduced by the revenue recognized by GHI pursuant to the VA Arrangement between December 31, 2022 and the VA End Date.

(ii) The following definitions are added to Article I of the Purchase Agreement:

Diagnostic Services Reseller License Agreement” means Diagnostic Services Reseller License Agreement between GHI and MDx dated as of December 8, 2022.

VA End Date” means the earlier of (a) the date on which the GPS Test has been removed from GHI’s Federal Supply Schedule, (b) May 1, 2023, and (c) a date agreed upon in a writing signed by parties.

VA Sites” means healthcare systems, medical centers, hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities affiliated with the United States Department of Veterans Affairs for whom Seller performed the GPS Test.

 

(b) Section 2.07(a)(i) of the Purchase Agreement. Section 2.07(a)(i) of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

(i) To the extent that 2023 Business Revenue is equal to or greater than the 2023 Threshold, Seller shall be entitled to consideration equal to [***] ([***]%) of the actual 2023 Business Revenue, up to a maximum earn-out amount of $30,000,000 (the amount actually earned, the “2023 Earn-Out Amount”). If the 2023 Business Revenue is less than the 2023 Threshold, the 2023 Earn-Out Amount shall be $0.

 

(c) Section 6.20 of the Purchase Agreement. Section 6.20 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

Section 6.20 VA Arrangement. From and after the Closing Date until the VA End Date, GHI shall continue to perform the GPS Test pursuant to open orders and awards existing as of the Closing Date that were issued by VA Sites for the performance of the GPS Test, in substantially the same manner as GHI has performed such services for such VA Sites immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “VA Arrangement”). At any time on or after March 16, 2023, GHI may, in its sole discretion, submit the necessary documentation to the VA for the removal of the GPS Test from its Federal Supply Schedule. GHI shall, within two (2) Business Days of receiving confirmation from the VA that the GPS Test has successfully been removed from GHI’s Federal Supply Schedule, notify MDx in writing of the same. Subject to the VA License Agreement, GHI shall be entitled to all revenue generated in respect of the VA Arrangement to the extent such revenue is generated from GPS Test results reported to a VA Site prior to it transitioning to an MDx-Transitioned VA Site. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate and work together in good faith to mutually determine the appropriate timing for the transition of VA Sites. Once a VA Site becomes a MDx-Transitioned VA Site, MDx will be responsible for communicating to Quadax that a VA Site has become a MDx-Transitioned VA Site and MDx is therefore responsible for billing the MDx-Transitioned VA Site and responsibility for billing cannot be changed back to GHI. In addition to any other requirements contained herein or in the VA License Agreement, MDx must (a) complete the agreed upon fields within the ‘VA Data Entry Template’ spreadsheet provided by Quadax for all GHI-related VA orders on a weekly basis, and (b) provide a copy of the completed TRF form to GHI for any GHI-related VA orders.

 

Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, each of the parties agrees and acknowledges that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be had against GHI or its Affiliates for GHI removing the GPS Test from GHI’s (or its Affiliates’, as applicable) Federal Supply Schedule on or after March 16, 2023.
