CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Certain statements under the captions Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and Item 1A. Risk Factors, and elsewhere in this report constitute forward-looking statements Certain, but not necessarily all, of such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as anticipates, believes, expects, may, will, or should or other variations thereon, or by discussions of strategies that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results or industry results may be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include general economic and business conditions; our ability to implement our business strategies; competition; availability of key personnel; increasing operating costs; unsuccessful promotional efforts; changes in brand awareness; acceptance of new product offerings; and adoption of, changes in, or the failure to comply with, and government regulations.
Throughout this report the first personal plural pronoun in the nominative case form we and its objective case form us, its possessive and the intensive case forms our and ourselves and its reflexive form ourselves refer collectively to Graymark Healthcare, Inc. and its subsidiaries including Foundation Surgery Affiliates, LLC (FSA) and Foundation Surgical Hospital Affiliates, LLC (FSHA).
i
Item 1. Graymark Healthcare, Inc. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, have been prepared without audit. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. On July 22, 2013, we acquired Foundation Surgery Affiliates, LLC (FSA) and FSAs consolidated variable interest entity, Foundation Surgical Hospital Affiliates, LLC (FSHA). For accounting purposes, the acquisition of FSA was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and as a result, our historical operating results included in this Form 10Q for the periods prior to July 22, 2013 represent those of FSA. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes thereto included in our latest annual report on Form 10-K and the consolidated financial statements of FSA included in our Form 8-K that was filed on November 13, 2013.
The consolidated statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for such interim periods. The results for any interim period may not be comparable to the same interim period in the previous year or necessarily indicative of earnings for the full year.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Periods Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012
(Unaudited)
Note 1 Nature of Business
Graymark Healthcare, Inc. (the Company) is organized under the laws of the state of Oklahoma and owns controlling and noncontrolling interests in surgical hospitals located in Texas. The Company also owns noncontrolling interests in ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs and Affiliates) located in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and Ohio. Additionally, the Company provides sleep testing management services to various rural hospitals in Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska and South Dakota under management contracts with the hospitals. The Company provides management services to a majority of its Affiliates under the terms of various management agreements.
Note 2 Basis of Presentation
On July 22, 2013, the Company acquired Foundation Surgery Affiliates, LLC (FSA) and FSAs consolidated variable interest entity, Foundation Surgical Hospital Affiliates, LLC (FSHA) (collectively referred to as Foundation). For accounting purposes, the acquisition of FSA was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and as a result, the Companys historical operating results included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods prior to July 22, 2013 represent those of FSA. The historical financial statements of FSA have been adjusted for the effect of the recapitalization that occurred as a result of the reverse acquisition.
As of September 30, 2013, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $31.5 million and a working capital deficiency of $20.6 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company generated a net loss attributable to Graymark Healthcare of $15.9 million, including a goodwill impairment charge of $20.8 million, and generated cash flow from operating activities from continuing operations of $5.1 million. Management expects to refinance, by the end of the first quarter of 2014, a significant portion of the Companys long-term debt obligations. Management expects that the Company will be able to significantly reduce its annual debt service payments as part of the refinancing; however, there is no assurance that management will be successful in completing the debt refinancing.
Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
For a complete list of the Companys significant accounting policies, please see the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2012 and the consolidated financial statements of FSA as of December 31, 2012 as filed in the Companys Form 8-K on November 13, 2013.
Interim Financial Information The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and in accordance with Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2013. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the consolidated financial statements of FSA as of December 31, 2012 as filed in the Companys Form 8-K on November 13, 2013. The December 31, 2012 consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements.
7
Pro forma income information Prior to July 22, 2013, FSAs and FSHAs member had elected to have FSAs and FSHAs income taxed as an S Corporation under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and a similar section of the state income tax law. Therefore, taxable income or loss is reported to the individual member for inclusion in its tax returns and no provision for income taxes is included in the Companys consolidated financial statements for periods prior to July 22, 2013. The pro forma income information provides an adjustment for income tax expense as if FSA and FSHA had been a C Corporation prior to July 22, 2013 at an assumed combined federal and state effective tax rate of 40%, which approximates the calculated statutory tax rates for the periods.
Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned, majority owned and controlled subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company accounts for its investments in Affiliates in which the Company exhibits significant influence, but not control, in accordance with the equity method of accounting. The Company does not consolidate its equity method investments, but rather measures them at their initial costs and then subsequently adjusts their carrying values through income for their respective shares of the earnings or losses during the period. The Company monitors its investments for other-than-temporary impairment by considering factors such as current economic and market conditions and the operating performance of the companies and records reductions in carrying values when necessary.
Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue recognition and accounts receivable The Company recognizes revenues in the period in which services are performed. Accounts receivable primarily consist of amounts due from third-party payors and patients. The Companys ability to collect outstanding receivables is critical to its results of operations and cash flows. Amounts the Company receives for treatment of patients covered by governmental programs such as Medicare and Medicaid and other third-party payors such as health maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations and other private insurers are generally less than the Companys established billing rates. Additionally, to provide for accounts receivable that could become uncollectible in the future, the Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce the carrying value of such receivables to their estimated net realizable value. Accordingly, the revenues and accounts receivable reported in the Companys consolidated financial statements are recorded at the net amount expected to be received.
Contractual Discounts and Cost Report Settlements The Company derives a significant portion of its revenues from Medicare, Medicaid and other payors that receive discounts from its established billing rates. The Company must estimate the total amount of these discounts 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 are subject to interpretation and adjustment. The Company estimates the allowance for contractual discounts on a payor-specific basis given its interpretation of the applicable regulations or contract terms. These interpretations sometimes result in payments that differ from the Companys estimates. Additionally, updated regulations and contract renegotiations occur frequently, necessitating regular review and assessment of the estimation process by management. Changes in estimates related to the allowance for contractual discounts affect revenues reported in the Companys accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Cost report settlements under reimbursement agreements with Medicare and Medicaid are estimated and recorded in the period the related services are rendered and are adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. There is a reasonable possibility that recorded estimates will change by a material amount in the near term. There were no adjustments for estimated cost report settlements during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The net cost report settlements due to the Company and included as a receivable under the caption Prepaid and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets was $88,800 and $3,500, respectively, at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The Companys management believes that adequate provisions have been made for adjustments that may result from final determination of amounts earned under these programs.
8
Laws and regulations governing Medicare and Medicaid programs are complex and subject to interpretation. The Company believes that it is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and is not aware of any pending or threatened investigations involving allegations of potential wrongdoing that would have a material effect on the Companys financial statements. Compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation as well as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
Provision and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts To provide for accounts receivable that could become uncollectible in the future; the Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce the carrying value of such receivables to their estimated net realizable value. The primary uncertainty lies with uninsured patient receivables and deductibles, co-payments or other amounts due from individual patients.
The Company has an established process to determine the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts that relies on a number of analytical tools and benchmarks to arrive at a reasonable allowance. No single statistic or measurement determines the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Some of the analytical tools that the Company utilizes include, but are not limited to, the aging of accounts receivable, historical cash collection experience, revenue trends by payor classification, revenue days in accounts receivable, the status of claims submitted to third party payors, reason codes for declined claims and an assessment of the Companys ability to address the issue and resubmit the claim and whether a patient is on a payment plan and making payments consistent with that plan. Accounts receivable are written off after collection efforts have been followed in accordance with the Companys policies.
Due to the nature of the healthcare industry and the reimbursement environment in which the Company operates, certain estimates are required to record net revenues and accounts receivable at their net realizable values at the time services are provided. Inherent in these estimates is the risk that they will have to be revised or updated as additional information becomes available, which could have a material impact on the Companys operating results and cash flows in subsequent periods. Specifically, the complexity of many third-party billing arrangements and the uncertainty of reimbursement amounts for certain services from certain payors may result in adjustments to amounts originally recorded.
The patient and their third party insurance provider typically share in the payment for the Companys services. The amount patients are responsible for includes co-payments, deductibles, and amounts not covered due to the provider being out-of-network. Due to uncertainties surrounding deductible levels and the number of out-of-network patients, the Company is not certain of the full amount of patient responsibility at the time of service. The Company estimates amounts due from patients prior to service and generally collects those amounts prior to service. Remaining amounts due from patients are then billed following completion of service.

Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Certificates of deposit with original maturities of more than three months are also considered cash equivalents if there are no restrictions on withdrawing funds from the account.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at least on an annual basis and more frequently if certain indicators are encountered. Goodwill is to be tested at the reporting unit level, defined as an ASC or hospital (referred to as a component), with the fair value of the reporting unit being compared
9
to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered to be impaired. The Company will complete its annual impairment test in December 2013.
Intangible assets other than goodwill which include physician membership interests, service contracts and covenants not to compete are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight line method. The remaining lives range from five to seven years. The Company evaluates the recoverability of identifiable intangible asset whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an intangible assets carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Net income (loss) per share Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted during the period. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted loss per share are excluded from the calculation.
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
Adopted Guidance
On January 1, 2013, the Company adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) to the testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, similar to the goodwill changes adopted in September 2011. These changes provide an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not (more than 50%) that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. Such qualitative factors may include the following: macroeconomic conditions; industry and market considerations; cost factors; overall financial performance; and other relevant entity-specific events. If an entity elects to perform a qualitative assessment and determines that an impairment is more likely than not, the entity is then required to perform the existing two-step quantitative impairment test, otherwise no further analysis is required. An entity also may elect not to perform the qualitative assessment and, instead, proceed directly to the two-step quantitative impairment test. Notwithstanding the adoption of these changes, management plans to proceed directly to the two-step quantitative test for the Companys indefinite-lived intangible assets. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
On January 1, 2013, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB to the disclosure of offsetting assets and liabilities. These changes require an entity to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The enhanced disclosures will enable users of an entitys financial statements to understand and evaluate the effect or potential effect of master netting arrangements on an entitys financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain financial instruments and derivative instruments. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Issued Guidance
In February 2013, the FASB issued changes to the accounting for obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements. These changes require an entity to measure such obligations for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date as the sum of (i) the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors, and (ii) any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. An entity will also be required to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. Examples of obligations subject to these requirements are debt arrangements and settled litigation and judicial rulings. These changes become effective for the Company on January 1, 2014. Management has determined that the adoption of these changes will not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements, as the Company does not currently have any such arrangements.

Note 4 Reverse Acquisition
On July 22, 2013, the Company acquired FSA and FSAs consolidated variable interest entity, FSHA, from Foundation Healthcare Affiliates, LLC (FHA) pursuant to an Amended and Restated Membership Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company (i) issued to FHA 114,500,000 shares of its common stock, (ii) issued to FHA a demand promissory note in the principal amount of $2.0 million, and (iii) assumed certain liabilities and obligations of FHA totaling approximately $2.0 million.
For accounting purposes, the acquisition of FSA was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and as a result, the Companys historical operating results included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods prior to July 22, 2013 represent those of FSA. The historical financial statements of FSA have been adjusted for the effect of the recapitalization that occurred as a result of the reverse acquisition.
The acquisition of Foundation was based on managements belief that Foundations acquisition and development strategy and operating model will enable the Company to grow by taking advantage of highly-fragmented markets, an increasing demand for short stay surgery and a need by physicians to forge strategic alliances to meet the needs of the evolving healthcare landscape while also shaping the clinical environments in which they practice. The Company expects the acquisition of Foundation will generate positive earnings and cash flow that will be accretive to the earnings and cash flow of the Company.
Simultaneous with and subject to the reverse acquisition, the Company issued 6,000,000 shares of common stock to purchase a $6.0 million participation in the credit facility owed by the Company to Arvest Bank (see Note 5 Discontinued Operations for more information) and 17,970,295 shares of common stock to Mr. Roy T. Oliver, one of our greater than 5% shareholders and affiliates, for full satisfaction of debt owed to Mr. Oliver totaling $8,136,390. Since the completion of the reverse acquisition was subject to these transactions, they have been recorded as part of the reverse acquisition.
Since FSA is deemed to be the accounting acquirer, the reverse acquisition was recorded by allocating the purchase price of the acquisition to the assets acquired, including intangible assets and liabilities assumed, from the legacy business of Graymark Healthcare, Inc. (Graymark), based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of the acquisitions over the net amounts assigned to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed, was recorded as goodwill, none of which is anticipated to be tax deductible. The fair value amounts recorded are preliminary and are subject to change. Management has engaged a third-party valuation company to complete a valuation of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the reverse acquisition. Management expects to complete the valuation in the fourth quarter of 2013.
The fair value of the total consideration issued in the reverse acquisition amounted to $17.4 million and included $13.4 million for the issuance of the Companys common stock to FHA, Arvest Bank and Mr. Oliver, $2.0 million for the promissory note issued to FHA and $2.0 million for the debt obligations and liabilities assumed from FHA.
The preliminary purchase allocation for the reverse acquisition is presented in the table below. These preliminary estimates will be revised in future periods and the revisions may materially affect the presentation of the Companys consolidated financial results. Any changes to the initial estimates of the fair value of the assets and liabilities will be recorded as adjustments to those assets and liabilities and residual amounts will be allocated to goodwill, subject to a review for impairment.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company incurred $435,522 and $222,335 in expenses related to the reverse acquisition. The expenses incurred related primarily to legal fees related to the Purchase Agreement and structure of the transaction and professional fees related to the audits of the 2012 and 2011 consolidated financial statements of FSA.

Note 5 Discontinued Operations
Prior to the reverse acquisition, Graymark committed to a plan to divest of or close certain sleep diagnostic and sleep therapy locations. The decision was based on a combination of the financial performance of the facilities and the shift in focus to the business model of Foundation. As a result of the pending closure or sale of these locations, the related assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows were classified as discontinued operations which were acquired by the Company in the reverse acquisition.
Under the plan, from July 2013 to October 2013, Graymark closed or sold 24 sleep diagnostic locations including both IDTF and contracted locations in Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas and 5 sleep therapy locations in Iowa, Kansas, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas.
12
As part of the reverse acquisition, the Company acquired the special charge liability of $475,570 related to the estimated closing costs resulting from the plan to sell or close the sleep diagnostic and therapy locations. From July 22, 2013 to September 30, 2013, the activity in the acquired accruals for restructuring charges established for lease termination and other exit costs were as follows:

On July 22, 2013, the Companys subsidiaries, SDC Holdings, LLC and ApothecaryRx, LLC (collectively the Borrowers), the Company and Mr. Stanton Nelson (the Guarantor and the Companys chief executive officer) entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the New Loan Agreement) and an Amended and Restated Promissory Note (the New Note) with Arvest Bank. The Company, Borrowers, Guarantor and other guarantors previously entered into the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated effective December 17, 2010, as amended by the First Amendment to Loan Agreement dated January 1, 2012, the Second Amendment to Loan Agreement dated effective June 30, 2012, and the Third Amendment to Loan Agreement dated effective October 12, 2012 (the Prior Agreement). Under the Prior Agreement, the Company and Borrowers were indebted to Arvest Bank under the Amended and Restated Promissory Note, in the original principal amount of $15,000,000 dated June 30, 2010 and the Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note, in the original principal amount of $30,000,000, dated June 30, 2010 (the Prior Notes). Arvest Bank, the Company, the Borrowers and the Guarantor have agreed to restructure the loan evidenced by the Prior Notes and the Prior Agreement. As of September 30, 2013, the outstanding principal amount of the New Note was $10,450,233.
On July 22, 2013, in conjunction with the New Loan Agreement with Arvest Bank, the Company entered into a Participation Agreement with Arvest Bank in which we purchased a $6,000,000 participation in the New Note from Arvest Bank in exchange for 13,333,333 shares of the Companys common stock. The Company purchased the participation in the last $6,000,000 of the principal amount due under the Arvest credit facility. The Companys participation in the note is eliminated against the New Note in the long-term debt table shown above.
14
The New Loan Agreement and New Note were entered into on the same date as and in conjunction with the reverse acquisition. As such, the New Note is included in the opening balance sheet in the reverse acquisition accounting (see Note 4 Reverse Acquisition).
The New Note is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers and the personal guaranty of the Guarantor which is limited to $2,919,000. The note bears interest at the greater of the prime rate or 6.0% and provided the Borrowers are not in default, the Borrowers are required to make monthly payments of interest only. The entire unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon will be due and payable on December 31, 2013. Additionally, the New Note is subject to certain financial covenants including a debt service coverage ratio (DSR) covenant of not less than 1.25 to 1.

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives must be tested for impairment at least once a year. Carrying values are compared with fair values, and when the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the carrying value of the impaired asset is reduced to its fair value. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter or more frequently if management believes indicators of impairment exist. The performance of the test involves a two-step process. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair values of the applicable reporting units with their aggregate carrying values, including goodwill. The Company generally determines the fair value of its reporting units using the income approach methodology of valuation that includes the discounted cash flow method as well as other generally accepted valuation methodologies. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting units fair value, the Company performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment loss. The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the affected reporting units goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill.
The Company has estimated the goodwill associated with the reverse acquisition to be $20,847,608. The Company then determined the projected cash flows from the continuing operations of the legacy Graymark business were not sufficient to support the recorded goodwill. The Company evaluated the fair value of the goodwill subsequent to the reverse acquisition and determined the acquired goodwill was fully-impaired.
The carrying amount of intangible assets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 follows:

Note 8 Preferred Noncontrolling Interest
On March 13, 2013, the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, Foundation Health Enterprises, LLC (FHE) initiated a private placement offering for up to $15,960,000. The offering is comprised of 152 units (FHE Unit or preferred noncontrolling interest). Each FHE Unit is being offered at $105,000 and entitles the purchaser to one (1) Class B membership interest in FHE, valued at $100,000, and 10,000 shares of the Companys common stock, valued at $5,000. During the period from July 22, 2013 to September 30, 2013, FHE and the Company completed the sale of 75 FHE Units for total consideration of $7,875,000 which was comprised of $7,500,000 attributable to the preferred noncontrolling interest and $375,000 attributable to the 750,000 shares of the Companys common stock.
The FHE Units provide for a cumulative preferred annual return of 9% on the amount allocated to the Class B membership interests. The FHE Units will be redeemed by FHE in four annual installments beginning in July 2014. The first three installments shall be in the amount of $10,000 per FHE Unit and the fourth installment will be in the amount of the unreturned capital contribution and any undistributed preferred distributions. The FHE Units are convertible at the election of the holder at any time prior to the complete redemption into restricted common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $2.00 per share. Since the FHE Units have a redemption feature and
18
a conversion feature which the Company determined to be substantive, the preferred noncontrolling interests has been recorded at the mezzanine level in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the corresponding dividends are recorded as a reduction of accumulated deficit.
As of December 31, 2012, the Company had an outstanding preferred membership interest of $11,072,465. The preferred member interest was owned by Tyche Health Enterprises, LLC (Tyche) and provided for annual cash dividends at a rate of 11.5%. On March 31, 2013, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the Tyche Agreement) with Tyche which was subsequently amended on March 31, 2013 and amended and closed on July 22, 2013. Under the Tyche Agreement, the Company purchased from Tyche (i) all of Tyches right, title and interest in the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement; (ii) all of Tyches right, title and interest in the preferred and common membership interest in FSH and the right to various equity interests in the affiliates of FSH; (iii) all of Tyches right, title and interest in the preferred and common membership interest in FSHA and the right to various equity interest in the affiliates of FSHA; and (iv) all of Tyches right, title and interest in any preferred or non-preferred ownership interest in any Foundation entities that have been acquired as a result of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement.
Under the Tyche Agreement, the Company paid $11,102,372 to Tyche and Tyche related entities and TSH issued promissory notes totaling $2,339,905 to Tyche and Tyche related entities for total consideration of $13,442,277. As further consideration for the Tyche Agreement, the Company issued Tyche and certain Tyche related entities warrants for the purchase of Companys common stock. The warrants issued included:
1. | Five year warrants for the purchase of a total of 1,937,500 shares of the Companys common stock at a strike price of $1.00 per share; |
2. | Seven and one-half year warrants for the purchase of a total of 3,516,204 shares of the Companys common stock at a strike price of $1.35 per share; and |
3. | Ten year warrants for the purchase of a total of 2,296,296 shares of the Companys common stock at a strike price of $1.60 per share. |
Note 9 Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is exposed to asserted and unasserted legal claims encountered in the normal course of business, including claims for damages for personal injuries, medical malpractice, breach of contracts, wrongful restriction of or interference with physicians staff privileges and employment related claims. In certain of these actions, plaintiffs request payment for damages, including punitive damages that may not be covered by insurance. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the operating results or the financial position of the Company. There were no settlement expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 20112, the Company incurred $36,000 in settlement expenses related to its ongoing asserted and unasserted legal claims.
Note 10 Extraordinary Gain and Other Item
Extraordinary Gain On August 30, 2013, the Company, entered into an Agreement of Sale and Purchase (Purchase Sale Agreement or PSA) with HCRI Texas Properties, Ltd. (Seller) and HC REIT and an Agreement in Connection with Assignment and Assumption of PSA (Assignment Agreement) with DOC-FSH El Paso Medical Center, LLC (DOC) resulting in an extraordinary gain of $11,136,121 (collectively referred to as the El Paso Real Estate Transaction). The income taxes related to the extraordinary gain and the amount of the extraordinary gain attributable to noncontrolling interests are summarized below:

Pursuant to the PSA, the Company agreed to acquire from Seller the real property occupied and certain personal property used by the Companys subsidiary East El Paso Physicians Medical Center, LLC (EEPPMC) under a master lease agreement (Master Lease) between EEPPMC, Seller and HCN.
The real property and other consideration covered by the Purchase Sale Agreement includes the hospital (Hospital) and medical office building (MOB) occupied by EEPPMC, an adjoining parcel of vacant land (Excess Land), the HC REIT Note 2, and certain personal property, including medical equipment, owned by Seller and attached to or located in and used in the operation of the Hospital and MOB (Personal Property. The purchase price under the Purchase Agreement was $39,066,428.
Simultaneous with the execution of the Purchase Sale Agreement, the Company executed the Assignment Agreement with DOC whereby FSHA assigned and DOC assumed all of FSHAs right, title, interest and obligations in, to and under the Purchase Sale Agreement, except for the Excess Land, HC REIT Note 2 and Personal Property. The consideration under the Assignment Agreement with DOC was $40,000,000 and was composed of the following:
1. | $39,066,428 which was paid directly to Seller; |
2. | $400,000 which was retained by DOC as a security deposit for the performance of EEPPMCs payment obligations under the Master Lease; |
3. | $463,678 which was paid to the Company; and |
4. | $69,894 which was paid on behalf of the Company to cover certain legal and closing expenses. |
The estimated excess value of the assets obtained compared to the consideration paid as a result of the PSA and Assignment agreement was $4,027,561. The Company is in the process of conducting formal valuations of the Excess Land and Personal Property acquired in the transaction and will adjust the extraordinary gain accordingly based on the results of those evaluations.
In conjunction with the execution of the PSA and Assignment Agreement, HC REIT agreed to forgive certain liabilities totaling $7,108,560 due to HC REIT from EEPPMC composed of the following:
1. | $714,822 in capital equipment leases net of the write off of the related capital lease assets; |
2. | $467,132 in a note (HC REIT Note 1) and related accrued and unpaid interest (HC REIT Note 1 and HC REIT Note 2); |
3. | $2,767,905 in unpaid, past due rent on the hospital and MOB; |
4. | $3,158,701 in other accrued liabilities related to the hospital and MOB facilities. |
The Company determined that the nature of the El Paso Real Estate Transaction was both unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence given the nature of our business and current operating environment. The event is unusual given we are a health care organization that invests in and manages existing healthcare facilities, not a real estate company. This event is also unique given the complex nature of both the transaction and the unusual level of debt and liabilities forgiven as part of the transaction and as such would not be reasonably expected to reoccur in the foreseeable future.
Other Item On September 30, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement of Sale and Purchase (OKC MOB Agreement) with Foundation Medical Center of Oklahoma City, LLC (FMC) pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire from Seller the real property occupied as the corporate headquarters of FSA and FSHA.
The real property covered by the OKC MOB Agreement includes an ambulatory surgery center facility owned and operated by a Foundation affiliate called Foundation Surgery Affiliate of Northwest Oklahoma City, LLC. The remainder of the building is medical office space occupied by a physician group, a sleep lab, a medical infusion company, and the Foundation corporate office. The building consists of approximately 52,000 square feet. The purchase price under the Purchase Agreement was $10,588,235.
20
Simultaneous with the execution of the OKC MOB Agreement, the Company entered into an Agreement in Connection with Assignment and Assumption of PSA (OKC MOB Assignment Agreement) with DOC-GREYMARK HQ OKC MOB, LLC (OKC DOC) whereby the Company assigned and OKC DOC assumed, all of the Companys right, title, interest and obligations in, to and under the OKC MOB Agreement. The consideration under the OKC MOB Assignment Agreement with OKC DOC was $15,600,000 and was composed of the following:
1. | $10,588,235 which was paid directly to FMC; |
2. | $4,885,328 which was paid to the Company; and |
3. | $35,937 which was paid on behalf of the Company to cover certain legal and closing expenses. |
Simultaneous with the sale to OKC DOC, the Company executed a 10 year master lease on the building for an annual rent of $1,248,000 with annual escalations of 2%. The current lease income on the underlying sub-leases is approximately $900,000 per year. The master lease is an operating lease. Given the disparity between the annual rent expense under the master lease and the rental income of the underlying sub-leases, the gain on the sale to OKC DOC will be deferred and recorded on a straight-line basis as a reduction in the rent expense under the master lease.
Note 11 Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants. In determining fair value, the accounting standards established a three-level hierarchy that distinguishes between (i) market data obtained or developed from independent sources (i.e., observable data inputs) and (ii) a reporting entitys own data and assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability (i.e., unobservable data inputs). Financial assets and financial liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified in one of the following categories, in order of priority of observability and objectivity of pricing inputs:
| Level 1 Fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| Level 2 Fair value based on significant directly observable data (other than Level 1 quoted prices) or significant indirectly observable data through corroboration with observable market data. Inputs would normally be (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in inactive markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities or (iii) information derived from or corroborated by observable market data. |
| Level 3 Fair value based on prices or valuation techniques that require significant unobservable data inputs. Inputs would normally be a reporting entitys own data and judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |
The fair value measurement level for an asset or liability is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements: The carrying value of the Companys financial assets and financial liabilities is their cost, which may differ from fair value. The carrying value of cash held as demand deposits, money market and certificates of deposit, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximated their fair value. At September 30, 2013, the fair value of the Companys long-term debt, including the current portion was determined approximate its carrying value.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements:
Business Acquisition In July 2013, the Company acquired Foundation in a transaction that was treated as a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes; see Note 4 Reverse Acquisition for additional information. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Graymark in the reverse acquisition were recorded at their respective fair values on the date of the acquisition.
21
These nonrecurring fair value measurements were developed using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The primary valuation technique used was an income methodology based on managements estimates of forecasted cash flows for each business unit, with those cash flows discounted to present value using rates commensurate with the risks of those cash flows. Assumptions used by management were similar to those that would be used by market participants performing valuations of these business units and were based on analysis of current and expected future economic conditions and the updated strategic plan for each business unit.

During the period from July 22, 2013 to September 30, 2013, the Company incurred approximately $54,000 in lease expense under the terms of the lease.
As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company has obligations of $1.4 million that are owed to FHA and certain real estate subsidiaries and affiliates of FHA related to transactions that occurred prior to the Foundation acquisition in July 2013. The amounts owed to FHA and FHA affiliates are included in Other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The Company has entered into agreements with certain of its Affiliate ASCs and hospitals to provide management services. As compensation for these services, the surgery centers and hospitals are charged management fees which are either fixed or are based on a percentage of the Affiliates cash collected or the Affiliates net revenue. The percentages range from 2.25% to 6.0%.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Company Overview
Graymark Healthcare, Inc. (the Company) is organized under the laws of the state of Oklahoma and owns controlling and noncontrolling interests in surgical hospitals located in Texas. We also own noncontrolling interests in ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs and Affiliates) located in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and Ohio. Additionally, we provides\ sleep testing management services to various rural hospitals in Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska and South Dakota under management contracts with the hospitals. We provide management services to a majority of our Affiliates under the terms of various management agreements.
Foundation Transaction
On July 22, 2013, we acquired 100% of the interests in Foundation Surgery Affiliates, LLC (FSA) and FSAs consolidated variable interest entity, Foundation Surgical Hospital Affiliates, LLC (FSHA) (collectively Foundation) from Foundation Healthcare Affiliates, LLC (FHA) in exchange for 114,500,000 shares of the Companys common stock and a promissory note in the amount of $2,000,000. We also assumed certain debt and other obligations of FHA in the amount of $1,991,733. The promissory note is unsecured, bears interest at a fixed rate of 7% and is due on demand. During the period from July 22, 2013 to September 30, 2013, we made payments totaling $286,904 on the FHA note. On October 14, 2013, the total principal and interest due on the FHA note, totaling $1,727,377 was paid.
For accounting purposes, the acquisition of FSA was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and as a result, our historical operating results included in our consolidated financial statements for the periods prior to July 22, 2013 represent those of FSA. The historical financial statements of FSA have been adjusted for the effect of the recapitalization that occurred as a result of the reverse acquisition. Prior to July 22, 2013, FSAs member had elected to have FSAs income taxed as an S Corporation under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and a similar section of the state income tax law. Therefore, taxable income or loss is reported to the individual member for inclusion in its respective tax returns and no provision for federal and state income taxes is included in these consolidated financial statements for periods prior to July 22, 2013. We have included pro forma income information in our consolidated statements of operations that provides an adjustment for income tax expenses as if FSA and FSHA had been a C Corporation prior to July 22, 2013 at an assumed combined federal and state effective rate of 40%, which approximates the calculated statutory tax rates for the periods.
Hospital and ASC Business Overview
We are a nationally prominent owner and manager of ASCs and surgical hospitals with facilities located in Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Texas. As of September 30, 2013, we owned interests and/or managed twelve ASCs and four surgical hospitals in partnership with over 400 local physicians. Through our facilities, we are a major provider of surgical services; we have performed approximately 54,700 outpatient and 1,700 inpatient surgical cases during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. [BRAD OR BOB please complete] We believe that our acquisition and development strategy and operating model will enable us to continue to grow by taking advantage of highly-fragmented markets, an increasing demand for short stay surgery and a need by physicians to forge strategic alliances to meet the needs of the evolving healthcare landscape while also shaping the clinical environments in which they practice.
We typically own a minority ownership in facilities with ownership ranging from 10% to 31% in 13 facilities. However, we own over 51% in two of our larger hospitals located in San Antonio and El Paso, Texas. Our facilities collectively offer a portfolio of specialties ranging from relatively intensive specialties such as orthopedics and neurosurgery to low-surgery-intensive specialties such as pediatric ENT (tubes / adenoids), pain management and gastroenterology. Each of our facilities is located in freestanding buildings or medical office buildings. Our average ASC has approximately 16,000 square feet of space with four operating rooms, as well as ancillary areas for preparation, recover, reception and administration. Our surgery centers are normally open weekdays from 7:00 a.m. to approximately 5:00 p.m. or until the last patient is discharged. Our surgical hospitals have from 10 to 40 beds and average seven operating rooms, ranging in size from 40,000 to 126,000 square feet and are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
23
All of our ASC and surgical hospital facilities are licensed at the state level as either ASCs or hospitals, participate within the Medicare program and are accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Healthcare (AAAHC), Det Norske Veritas (DNV) or the Joint Commission. We recognize that accreditation is a crucial quality benchmark for payors since many managed care organizations will not contract with a facility until it is accredited. We believe that our historical success in obtaining and retaining accreditation for our facilities reflects its commitment to providing high quality care in its facilities.
Generally, our ASC and surgical hospital facilities are owned and operated by limited partnerships or limited liability companies in which ownership interests are also held by local physicians who are on the medical staffs of the facilities. The facilities partnership and limited liability company agreements typically provide for the monthly or quarterly pro rata distribution of cash equal to net profits from operations, less amounts held in reserve for expenses and working capital. Even where we own a minority of the interests in a facility, the partnership or limited liability company agreements generally grant us representation on the facilitys governing board and ensure our participation in fundamental decisions. Our influence over the businesses of our facilities is enhanced by the management agreements which we possess with such facilities.
Our ASC and surgical hospital facilities depend upon third-party reimbursement programs, including governmental and private insurance programs, to pay for the preponderance of the services rendered to patients. Our ASC and surgical hospital facilities derive approximately 25% of their revenues from governmental healthcare programs, primarily Medicare and managed Medicare programs, and the remainder from a wide mix of commercial payors and patient co-pays and deductibles. Although our ASC and surgical hospital facilities receive only a quarter of their revenues from governmental programs, private payors typically follow the method in which the government reimburses healthcare providers. Under the governments methodology our ASC and surgical hospital facilities are reimbursed for the performance of services through the payment of facility fees which vary according to whether the facility is an ASC or a hospital and the type of procedure that is performed. ASCs are reimbursed through the payment of a composite ASC rate which includes payment for most of the expenses associated with the performance of a procedure such as nursing services, supplies, and staffing costs. The reimbursement rates for inpatient hospital services are determined using Medicare severity diagnosis related groups which are intended to compensate hospitals according to the estimated intensity of hospital resources necessary to furnish care for a particular diagnosed illness. Hospitals are reimbursed for outpatient procedures in a manner similar to ASCs except that the methodologies employed to calculate reimbursement generally result in hospitals being reimbursed in this setting at a higher rate for outpatient procedures than free-standing ASCs.
The reimbursement rates payable to hospitals and ASCs are subject to frequent adjustment. In addition, the reimbursement methodologies contained in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the ACA) are still being evaluated and are a source of uncertainty. Physicians are typically paid separately for their professional services in both ASCs and hospitals.
Our revenues from the ASC and surgical hospital facilities are derived from (i) the pro rata distributions we receive on our ownership in the facilities, and (ii) management fees that we receive from these facilities. Such management fees are generally calculated as a percentage of the monthly net revenues. We own equity interests in all of our ASC and surgical hospital facilities except the Lake Surgery Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana which we manage. We possess management agreements with all of our ASC and surgical hospital facilities except for the Houston Orthopedic Surgical Hospital in Houston, Texas in which we own 20% of the interest.
Liquidity Overview
As of September 30, 2013, we had an accumulated deficit of $31.5 million and a working capital deficiency of $20.6 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we generated a net loss attributable to Graymark Healthcare of $15.9 million, including a goodwill impairment charge of $20.8 million. We generated cash flow from operating activities from continuing operations of $5.1 million. We expect to refinance, by the end of the first quarter of 2014, a significant portion our long-term debt obligations and we expect that we will be able to significantly reduce our annual debt service payments as part of the refinancing. However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing the debt refinancing. See Liquidity and Capital Resources for additional information.

Discussion of Three Month Periods Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012
Overall comments as a result of the Foundation transaction on July 22, 2013 being recorded as a reverse acquisition, the operating results of the Companys legacy business (referred to as legacy Graymark) is included for the period of July 22, 2013 to September 30, 2013. There are no operating results for the legacy Graymark business recorded in the third quarter of 2012. We acquired East El Paso Physician Medical Center, LLC (EEPMC), on October 26, 2012. As a result, there are no operating results for EEPMC recorded in the third quarter of 2012.
Patient services revenue increased $13.0 million or 148% during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared with the third quarter of 2012. The increase was primarily due to:
| Patient services revenue at, of $11.5 million at EEPMC during the third quarter of 2013; and |
| An increase in the average reimbursement per surgical case at Foundation Bariatric Hospital of San Antonio (FBH SA) resulted in an increase in patient services revenue of $1.5 million during the third quarter of 2013 compared with third quarter of 2012. |
25
Management fees from affiliates decreased $0.4 million or 22% during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared with the third quarter of 2012. Prior to our acquisition of EEPMC, we provided management services to that facility. That revenue is now eliminated in our consolidated financial statements. This change resulted in a $0.2 million decrease compared to the third quarter of 2012. Our management fees at both our ASCs and surgical hospitals are based on a percentage of collections. Lower collections at our ASCs resulted in a decrease of $0.1 million. An agreement to lower our management fees at one of our managed hospitals resulted in a decrease of $0.1 million.
Income from equity investments in affiliates decreased $0.2 million or 12% during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared with the third quarter of 2012. Lower average reimbursement levels at one of our ASCs in Pennsylvania resulted in a decrease of $0.3 million which was offset by improved operating results at our surgical hospitals resulting in a $0.1 million increase.
Other revenue increased $0.9 million or 510% during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared with the third quarter of 2012. The increase was due to $0.5 million in revenue earned during the third quarter of 2013 from the sleep center management fees earned at our legacy Graymark hospital outreach locations. There is no revenue included from the hospital outreach locations during the third quarter of 2012 as a result of the reverse acquisition recorded on July 22, 2013. The remaining increase in other revenue of $0.4 million during the third quarter of 2013 compared to the third quarter of 2012 is primarily due to Tricare capital reimbursements on qualifying military admissions.
Provision for doubtful accounts increased $0.6 million or 453% during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared with the third quarter of 2012. Provision for doubtful accounts as a percent of patient services revenue was 3.1% and 4.3% for the third quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase is due to a $0.4 million reserve for EEPMC and a $0.2 million increase in the reserve at FBH SA related to increased revenues and accounts receivable balances.
Salaries and benefits increased $3.5 million or 101% to $7.0 million from $3.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared with the third quarter of 2012. The increase in salaries and benefits was primarily due to:
| $2.6 million of salaries and benefits expense at EEPMC; |
| $0.6 million of salaries and benefits at legacy Graymark; and |
| $0.3 million due to increased salaries and benefits resulting from increased personnel required to manage our expanding hospital operations. |
Supplies expense increased $4.5 million or 203% to $6.7 million from $2.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared with the third quarter of 2012. The increase in supplies expense was primarily due to $3.9 million of medical supply expenses at EEPMC and an increase of $0.6 million at FBH SA resulting from a increased number of high acuity surgical cases.
Other operating expenses increased $4.3 million or 99% to $8.6 million from $4.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared with the third quarter of 2012. The increase in other operating expenses was primarily due to:
| $4.8 million of other operating expenses at EEPMC; |
| $0.5 million of other operating expenses at legacy Graymark; |
| a decrease in other operating expenses at FBH SA of $0.9 million resulting from lower costs incurred with outside service vendors; and |
| a decrease in other operating expenses of $0.1 million primarily driven by lower professional fees. |
Impairment of goodwill We recorded goodwill associated with the reverse acquisition related to legacy Graymark of $20,847,608. We then determined the projected cash flows from the continuing operations of the legacy Graymark business were not sufficient to support the recorded goodwill. We evaluated the fair value of the goodwill subsequent to the reverse acquisition and determined the acquired goodwill was fully-impaired.
26
Depreciation and amortization represents the depreciation expense associated with our fixed assets and the amortization attributable to our intangible assets. Depreciation and amortization increased $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012. The increase was primarily due to $0.6 million of depreciation and amortization at EEPMC and $0.2 million of depreciation and amortization at legacy Graymark offset by a $0.1 million decrease at FBH SA due to certain assets becoming fully depreciated.
Net other expense represents primarily interest expense on borrowings reduced by interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents. Net other expense increased $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012. The increase is related to a $0.2 million increase in interest expense attributable to our increased borrowings as a result of the El Paso acquisition a $0.2 million increase related to legacy Graymark, and a gain of $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2012 related to the sale of an equity investment in affiliate which we did not have in 2013.
Provision for income taxes was $1.0 million for the third quarter in 2013. Prior to July 22, 2013, FSAs member had elected to have FSAs income taxed as an S Corporation under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and a similar section of the state income tax law. Therefore, taxable income or loss is reported to the individual member for inclusion in its respective tax returns and no provision for federal and state income taxes is included in our consolidated financial statements for periods prior to July 22, 2013. We have included pro forma income information in our consolidated statements of operations that provides an adjustment for income tax expense as if FSA and FSHA had been a C Corporation prior to July 22, 2013 at an assumed combined federal and state effective tax rate of 40%, which approximates the calculated statutory tax rates for the periods.
Discontinued operations represent the net loss from the operations of our independent diagnostic testing facilities (IDTF) which were classified as held for sale prior the Graymark reverse acquisition. The results from our discontinued operations for the period of July 22, 2013 to September 30, 2013 are summarized below:

(Seller) and HC REIT and an Agreement in Connection with Assignment and Assumption of PSA (Assignment Agreement) with DOC-FSH El Paso Medical Center, LLC (DOC) resulting in an extraordinary gain of $11,136,121 (collectively referred to as the El Paso Real Estate Transaction).

Pursuant to the PSA, the Company agreed to acquire from Seller the real property occupied by and certain personal property used by the Companys subsidiary East El Paso Physicians Medical Center, LLC (EEPPMC) under a master lease agreement (Master Lease) between EEPPMC, Seller and HCN.
The real property and other consideration covered by the Purchase Sale Agreement includes the hospital (Hospital) and medical office building (MOB) occupied by EEPPMC, an adjoining parcel of vacant land (Excess Land), a note payable, and certain personal property, including medical equipment, owned by Seller and attached to or located in and used in the operation of the Hospital and MOB (Personal Property). The purchase price under the Purchase Agreement was $39,066,428.
Simultaneous with the execution of the Purchase Sale Agreement, the Company executed the Assignment Agreement with DOC whereby FSHA assigned and DOC assumed all of FSHAs right, title, interest and obligations in, to and under the Purchase Sale Agreement, except for the Excess Land, a note payable and Personal Property.
27
The consideration under the Assignment Agreement with DOC was $40,000,000. In conjunction with the execution of the PSA and Assignment Agreement, HC REIT agreed to forgive certain liabilities totaling $7,108,562 due to HC REIT from EEPPMC.
We determined that the nature of the El Paso Real Estate Transaction was both unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence given the nature of our business and current operating environment. The event is unusual given we are a health care organization that invests in and manages existing healthcare facilities, not a real estate company. This event is also unique given the complex nature of both the transaction and the unusual level of debt and liabilities forgiven as part of the transaction and as such would not be reasonably expected to reoccur in the foreseeable future.
Noncontrolling interests were allocated $2.4 million and $0.4 million of net income during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Noncontrolling interests are the equity ownership interests in our majority owned hospital subsidiaries, EEPMC and FBH SA.
Net income (loss) attributable to Graymark Healthcare. Our operations resulted in a net loss of $16.5 million during the third quarter of 2013, compared to net income of $1.2 million during the third quarter of 2012.
Discussion of Nine Month Periods Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012
Overall comments as a result of the Foundation transaction on July 22, 2013 being recorded as a reverse acquisition, the operating results of the Companys legacy business (referred to as legacy Graymark) is included for the period of July 22, 2013 to September 30, 2013. There are no operating results for the legacy Graymark business recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. We acquired East El Paso Physician Medical Center, LLC (EEPMC), on October 26, 2012. As a result, there are no operating results for EEPMC recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Patient services revenue increased $32.2 million or 135% during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared with the first nine months of 2012. The increase was primarily due to:
| Patient services revenue at, of $31.2 million at EEPMC during the third quarter of 2013; and |
| An increase in the average reimbursement per surgical case at Foundation Bariatric Hospital of San Antonio (FBH SA) resulted in an increase in patient services revenue of $1.0 million for the first nine months of 2013 compared with the same period of 2012. |
Management fees from affiliates decreased $1.0 million or 16% during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared with first nine months of 2012. Prior to our acquisition of EEPMC, we provided management services to that facility. That revenue is now eliminated in our consolidated financial statements. This change resulted in a $0.6 million decrease compared to the first nine months of 2012. We had two temporary management agreements in the first six months of 2012 we no longer have resulting in a decrease of $0.3 million. An agreement to lower our management fees at one of our managed hospitals resulted in a decrease of $0.2 million. Our management fees at both our ASCs and surgical hospitals are based on a percentage of collections. Greater year to date collections at our ASCs resulted in an offsetting increase of $0.1 million.
Income from equity investments in affiliates decreased $0.3 million or 7% during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared with the first nine months of 2012. Lower average reimbursement levels at one of our ASCs in Pennsylvania resulted in a decrease of $0.2 million and lower operating results at our surgical hospitals resulted in a decrease of $0.1 million.
Other revenue increased $2.7 million or 229% during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared with the first nine months of 2013. The addition of EEPMC resulted in a $2.6 million increase, which includes $1.5 million in meaningful use payments related to the federal electronic medical records program, a $0.5 million settlement of the facilities 2009 Medicare cost report and $0.6 million in a combination of rental revenue from sub-lease tenants and Tricare capital reimbursements on qualifying military admissions. Revenue earned during the first nine months of 2013 from the sleep center management fees earned at our legacy Graymark hospital outreach
28
locations resulted in a $0.5 million increase. There is no revenue included from the hospital outreach locations during the first nine months 2012 as a result of the reverse acquisition recorded on July 22, 2013. These amounts are offset by a $0.1 million decrease in miscellaneous service fees to our managed facilities and $0.3 million decrease at FBH SA due to a meaningful use payment related to the federal electronic medical records program received in the first half of 2012. No meaningful use payments have been received at FBH SA in 2013.
Provision for doubtful accounts increased $2.0 million or 524% during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared with the first nine months of 2012. Provision for doubtful accounts as a percent of patient services revenue was 4.3% and 1.6% for the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, respectively. The addition of EEPMC resulted in a $1.8 million increase and higher reserves related to increased revenues and account receivables at FBH SA resulted in a $0.2 million increase.
Salaries and benefits increased $9.6 million or 93% to $19.7 million from $10.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared with the first nine months of 2012. The increase in salaries and benefits was primarily due to:
| $8.1 million of salaries and benefits expense at EEPMC; |
| $0.6 million of salaries and benefits at legacy Graymark; and |
| $1.1 million due to increased salaries and benefits resulting from increased personnel required to manage our expanding hospital operation; |
| partially offset by a $0.2 million reduction at FBH SA due to improved operational efficiencies allowing for reduced labor. |
Supplies expense increased $10.2 million or 149% to $17.0 million from $6.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared with the first nine months of 2012. The increase in supplies expense was primarily due to $10.0 million of medical supply expenses at EEPMC and an increase of $0.2 million at FBH SA resulting from an increase in the number of high acuity surgical cases.
Other operating expenses increased $13.2 million or 116% to $24.5 million from $11.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared with the first nine months of 2012. The increase in other operating expenses was primarily due to:
| $14.5 million of other operating expenses at EEPMC; |
| $0.5 million of other operating expenses at legacy Graymark; |
| a decrease in other operating expenses at FBH SA of $1.9 million resulting from lower costs incurred with outside service vendors; and |
| an increase in other operating expenses of $0.1 million related to increased corporate expense to support our expanded operations. |
Impairment of goodwill We recorded goodwill associated with the reverse acquisition related to legacy Graymark of $20,847,608. We then determined the projected cash flows from the continuing operations of the legacy Graymark business were not sufficient to support the recorded goodwill. We evaluated the fair value of the goodwill subsequent to the reverse acquisition and determined the acquired goodwill was fully-impaired.
Depreciation and amortization represents the depreciation expense associated with our fixed assets and the amortization attributable to our intangible assets. Depreciation and amortization increased $1.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the first nine months of 2012. The increase was primarily due to $1.9 million of depreciation and amortization at EEPMC and $0.2 million of depreciation and amortization at legacy Graymark partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease at FBH SA due to certain assets becoming fully depreciated.
Net other expense represents primarily interest expense on borrowings reduced by interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents. Net other expense increased $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012. The increase is related to an increase of $0.8 million in interest expense attributable to our increased borrowings as a result of the El Paso acquisition and a $0.2 million increase related to legacy Graymark and a gain of $0.3 million in the first nine months quarter of 2012 related to the sale of equity investments in certain affiliates, offset by a $0.1 million reduction in interest expense at FBH SA due to lower principle balances related to principle payments on existing loans.

Provision for income taxes was $1.0 million for the first nine months of 2013. Prior to July 22, 2013, FSAs member had elected to have FSAs income taxed as an S Corporation under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and a similar section of the state income tax law. Therefore, taxable income or loss is reported to the individual member for inclusion in its respective tax returns and no provision for federal and state income taxes is included in our consolidated financial statements for periods prior to July 22, 2013. We have included pro forma income information in our consolidated statements of operations that provides an adjustment for income tax expenses as if FSA and FSHA had been a C Corporation prior to July 22, 2013 at an assumed combined federal and state effective rate of 40%, which approximates the calculated statutory tax rates for the periods.
Discontinued operations represent the net loss from the operations of our independent diagnostic testing facilities (IDTF) which were classified as held for sale prior the Graymark reverse acquisition. The results from our discontinued operations for the period of July 22, 2013 to September 30, 2013 are summarized below:

Extraordinary gain, net of tax on August 30, 2013, we entered into an Agreement of Sale and Purchase (Purchase Sale Agreement or PSA) with HCRI Texas Properties, Ltd. (Seller) and HC REIT and an Agreement in Connection with Assignment and Assumption of PSA (Assignment Agreement) with DOC-FSH El Paso Medical Center, LLC (DOC) resulting in an extraordinary gain of $11,136,121 (collectively referred to as the El Paso Real Estate Transaction).

Pursuant to the PSA, the Company agreed to acquire from Seller the real property occupied by and certain personal property used by the Companys subsidiary East El Paso Physicians Medical Center, LLC (EEPPMC) under a master lease agreement (Master Lease) between EEPPMC, Seller and HCN.
The real property and other consideration covered by the Purchase Sale Agreement includes the hospital (Hospital) and medical office building (MOB) occupied by EEPPMC, an adjoining parcel of vacant land (Excess Land), a note payable, and certain personal property, including medical equipment, owned by Seller and attached to or located in and used in the operation of the Hospital and MOB (Personal Property). The purchase price under the Purchase Agreement was $39,066,428.
Simultaneous with the execution of the Purchase Sale Agreement, the Company executed the Assignment Agreement with DOC whereby FSHA assigned and DOC assumed all of FSHAs right, title, interest and obligations in, to and under the Purchase Sale Agreement, except for the Excess Land, a note payable and Personal Property. The consideration under the Assignment Agreement with DOC was $40,000,000. In conjunction with the execution of the PSA and Assignment Agreement, HC REIT agreed to forgive certain liabilities totaling $7,108,562 due to HC REIT from EEPPMC.
We determined that the nature of the El Paso Real Estate Transaction was both unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence given the nature of our business and current operating environment. The event is unusual given we are a health care organization that invests in and manages existing healthcare facilities, not a real estate company. This event is also unique given the complex nature of both the transaction and the unusual level of debt and liabilities forgiven as part of the transaction and as such would not be reasonably expected to reoccur in the foreseeable future.
30
Noncontrolling interests were allocated $1.5 million and $0.5 million of net income during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Noncontrolling interests are the equity ownership interests in our majority owned hospital subsidiaries, EEPMC and FBH SA.
Net income (loss) attributable to Graymark Healthcare. Our operations resulted in a net loss of $15.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to net income of $4.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

We expect to refinance, by the end of the first quarter of 2014, a significant portion of our long-term debt obligations. We expect to significantly reduce our annual debt service payments as part of the refinancing; however, there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing the debt refinancing.
Legacy Bank Credit Facility
We have entered into various short-term and long-term notes payable with our senior lender, Legacy Bank (referred to as Legacy Debt). As of September 30, 2013, the balance of the Legacy Debt was $12.1 million. The Legacy Debt is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of our subsidiaries, FSA and FSHA, and a portion is personally guaranteed by certain of our officers. In conjunction with the Legacy Debt, we have agreed to comply with certain financial covenants (as defined and calculated at the FSA and FSHA level) including:
| Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.05 to 1 and increasing to 1.1 to 1 by December 31, 2013; 1.15 to 1 by March 31, 2014; and 1.2 to 1 by June 30, 2014; and |

There is no assurance that Legacy Bank will waive any future violations of the financial covenants. We anticipate that we will also meet the financial covenants at January 15, 2014. Historically, we have been successful in obtaining waivers from the bank for any covenant non-compliance; however there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain waivers for any non-compliance in the future.
Arvest Bank Credit Facility
On July 22, 2013, our subsidiaries, SDC Holdings, LLC and ApothecaryRx, LLC (collectively the Borrowers), we and Mr. Stanton Nelson (the Guarantor and the Companys chief executive officer) entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the New Loan Agreement) and an Amended and Restated Promissory Note (the New Note) with Arvest Bank. We, Borrowers, Guarantor and other guarantors previously entered into the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated effective December 17, 2010, as amended by the First Amendment to Loan Agreement dated January 1, 2012, the Second Amendment to Loan Agreement dated effective June 30, 2012, and the Third Amendment to Loan Agreement dated effective October 12, 2012 (the Prior Agreement). Under the Prior Agreement, we and Borrowers were indebted to Arvest Bank under the Amended and Restated Promissory Note, in the original principal amount of $15,000,000 dated June 30, 2010 and the Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note, in the original principal amount of $30,000,000, dated June 30, 2010 (the Prior Notes).

The Company purchased the participation in the last $6,000,000 of the principal amount due under the Arvest credit facility. The Companys participation in the note is eliminated against the New Note. Since the operations of the Borrowers has been discontinued, the New Note, net of the participation, is included in current liabilities from discontinued operations in our consolidated balance sheet a.
The New Note is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers and the personal guaranty of the Guarantor which is limited to $2,919,000. The note bears interest at the greater of the prime rate or 6.0% and

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include amounts based on managements prudent judgments and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Management believes that any reasonable deviation from those judgments and estimates would not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. To the extent that the estimates used differ from actual results, however, adjustments to the statement of earnings and corresponding balance sheet accounts would be necessary. These adjustments would be made in future statements. For a complete discussion of all our significant accounting policies please see our 2012 annual report on Form 10-K and in the audited consolidated financial statements of FSA as filed in our Form 8-K on November 13. 2013. Some of the more significant estimates include revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, and goodwill and intangible asset impairment. We use the following methods to determine our estimates:
34
Revenue recognition and accounts receivable We recognize revenues in the period in which services are performed. Accounts receivable primarily consist of amounts due from third-party payors and patients. Our ability to collect outstanding receivables is critical to its results of operations and cash flows. Amounts we receives for treatment of patients covered by governmental programs such as Medicare and Medicaid and other third-party payors such as health maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations and other private insurers are generally less than our established billing rates. Additionally, to provide for accounts receivable that could become uncollectible in the future, we establish an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce the carrying value of such receivables to their estimated net realizable value. Accordingly, the revenues and accounts receivable reported in our consolidated financial statements are recorded at the net amount expected to be received.
Contractual Discounts and Cost Report Settlements We derive a significant portion of our revenues from Medicare, Medicaid and other payors that receive discounts from its established billing rates. We must estimate the total amount of these discounts 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 are subject to interpretation and adjustment. We estimate the allowance for contractual discounts on a payor-specific basis given its 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 by management. Changes in estimates related to the allowance for contractual discounts affect revenues reported in our consolidated statements of operations.
Cost report settlements under reimbursement agreements with Medicare and Medicaid are estimated and recorded in the period the related services are rendered and are adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. There is a reasonable possibility that recorded estimates will change by a material amount in the near term.
Laws and regulations governing Medicare and Medicaid programs are complex and subject to interpretation. We believe that we are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and is not aware of any pending or threatened investigations involving allegations of potential wrongdoing that would have a material effect on our financial statements. Compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation as well as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
Provision and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts To provide for accounts receivable that could become uncollectible in the future; we establish an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce the carrying value of such receivables to their estimated net realizable value. The primary uncertainty lies with uninsured patient receivables and deductibles, co-payments or other amounts due from individual patients.
We have an established process to determine the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts that relies on a number of analytical tools and benchmarks to arrive at a reasonable allowance. No single statistic or measurement determines the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Some of the analytical tools that we utilizes include, but are not limited to, the aging of accounts receivable, historical cash collection experience, revenue trends by payor classification, revenue days in accounts receivable, the status of claims submitted to third party payors, reason codes for declined claims and an assessment of our ability to address the issue and resubmit the claim and whether a patient is on a payment plan and making payments consistent with that plan. Accounts receivable are written off after collection efforts have been followed in accordance with our policies.
Due to the nature of the healthcare industry and the reimbursement environment in which we operate, certain estimates are required to record net revenues and accounts receivable at their net realizable values at the time services are provided. Inherent in these estimates is the risk that they will have to be revised or updated as additional information becomes available, which could have a material impact on our operating results and cash
35
flows in subsequent periods. Specifically, the complexity of many third-party billing arrangements and the uncertainty of reimbursement amounts for certain services from certain payors may result in adjustments to amounts originally recorded.
The patient and their third party insurance provider typically share in the payment for our services. The amount patients are responsible for includes co-payments, deductibles, and amounts not covered due to the provider being out-of-network. Due to uncertainties surrounding deductible levels and the number of out-of-network patients, we are not certain of the full amount of patient responsibility at the time of service. We estimate amounts due from patients prior to service and generally collects those amounts prior to service. Remaining amounts due from patients are then billed following completion of service.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets We evaluates goodwill for impairment at least on an annual basis and more frequently if certain indicators are encountered. Goodwill is to be tested at the reporting unit level, defined as an ASC or hospital (referred to as a component), with the fair value of the reporting unit being compared to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered to be impaired.
Intangible assets other than goodwill which include physician membership interests, service contracts and covenants not to compete are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight line method. The remaining lives range from five to seven years. We evaluate the recoverability of identifiable intangible asset whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an intangible assets carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Issued Guidance
In February 2013, the FASB issued changes to the accounting for obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements. These changes require an entity to measure such obligations for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date as the sum of (i) the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors, and (ii) any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. An entity will also be required to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. Examples of obligations subject to these requirements are debt arrangements and settled litigation and judicial rulings. These changes become effective for us on January 1, 2014. We have determined that the adoption of these changes will not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements, as we do not currently have any such arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
We are a smaller reporting entity as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and as such, are not required to provide the information required by Item 305 of Regulation S-K with respect to Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management (with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer) evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), as of September 30, 2013. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except as described below.
On July 22, 2013, we completed our acquisition of Foundation. As permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the current year acquisition scope exception, we will exclude the Foundation acquisition from our 2013 assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting since it is not practicable for management to conduct an assessment of internal control over financial reporting between the acquisition date and the date of managements assessment. However, we have extended our oversight and monitoring processes that support our internal control over financial reporting to include Foundations operations.
In the normal course of business, we may become involved in litigation or in legal proceedings. We are not aware of any such litigation or legal proceedings, that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K are as follows:
Our acquisition of Foundation may increase our risk of significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting.
Foundation has not performed an assessment of the effectiveness of the design and operation of their internal control over financial reporting. In addition, Foundation has not historically prepared their financial statements under U.S. generally accepted accounting standards. Foundation is not required to be included in our assessment of internal controls for 2013 but will be included in our assessment for 2014, which may increase our risk for material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
We require a significant amount of cash flow from operations and third-party financing to pay our indebtedness, to execute our business plan and to fund our other liquidity needs.
We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations, and future borrowings may not be available to us under existing loan facilities or otherwise in an amount sufficient to pay our indebtedness, to execute our business plan or to fund our other liquidity needs. We anticipate the need for substantial cash flow to fund future acquisitions, which is our primary growth strategy. In addition, we intend to refinance some or all of our current indebtedness at or before maturity.
At September 30, 2013, we have a short-term debt obligation with Arvest Bank of $4.5 million that matures on December 31, 2013 which is included in current liabilities from discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements. At September 30, 2013, we have short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt payable to Legacy Bank of $2.8 million and $5.0 million, respectively. In addition, at September 30, 2013, we have additional short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt owed to other financial institutions totaling $4.5 million and $3.1 million, respectively. Further details about this indebtedness can be found in the footnotes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
At September 30, 2013, we had total liabilities of approximately $67.7 million. There is no assurance that our operating results will provide sufficient funding to pay our liabilities on a timely basis. There is no assurance that we will be able to refinance any of our current indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Failure to generate or raise sufficient funds may require us to modify, delay or abandon some of our future business growth strategies or expenditure plans.
We cannot predict the effect that the Affordable Care Act and its implementation may have on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
The Affordable Care Act was signed into law, in two parts, on March 23, 2010 and March 30, 2010. The Affordable Care Act dramatically alters the U.S. healthcare system and is intended to decrease the number of uninsured Americans and reduce the overall cost of healthcare. The Affordable Care Act attempts to achieve these goals by, among other things, requiring most Americans to obtain health insurance, expanding Medicare and Medicaid eligibility, reducing Medicare and Medicaid DSH payments to providers, expanding the Medicare programs use of value-based purchasing programs, tying hospital payments to the satisfaction of certain quality criteria, bundling payments to hospitals and other providers, and instituting certain private health insurance reforms.
37
Although a majority of the measures contained in the Affordable Care Act do not take effect until late 2013 and 2014, certain of the reductions in Medicare spending, such as negative adjustments to the Medicare hospital inpatient and outpatient prospective payment system market basket updates and the incorporation of productivity adjustments to the Medicare programs annual inflation updates, became effective in 2010, 2011 and 2012. Although the expansion of health insurance coverage should increase revenues from providing care to certain previously uninsured individuals, many of these provisions of the Affordable Care Act will not become effective until 2014 or later, and the impact of such expansion may be gradual and may not offset scheduled decreases in reimbursement.
On June 28, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, including the individual mandate provisions of the Affordable Care Act that generally require all individuals to obtain healthcare insurance or pay a penalty. However, the U.S. Supreme Court also held that the provision of the Affordable Care Act that authorized the Secretary of HHS to penalize states that choose not to participate in the expansion of the Medicaid program by removing all of their existing Medicaid funding was unconstitutional. In response to the ruling, a number of U.S. governors, including those of some states in which we operate, have stated that they oppose their states participation in the expanded Medicaid program, which could result in the Affordable Care Act not providing coverage to some low-income persons in those states. In addition, several bills have been and may continue to be introduced in Congress to repeal or amend all or significant provisions of the Affordable Care Act.
The Affordable Care Act changes how healthcare services are covered, delivered, and reimbursed. The net effect of the Affordable Care Act on our business is subject to numerous variables, including the laws complexity, lack of complete implementing regulations and interpretive guidance, gradual and potentially delayed implementation or possible amendment, as well as the uncertainty as to the extent to which states will choose to participate in the expanded Medicaid program. As a result, we are unable to predict the net effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations of the expected increases in insured individuals using our facilities, the reductions in government healthcare reimbursement spending, and numerous other provisions of the Affordable Care Act that may affect us. We are also unable to predict how providers, payors, employers and other market participants will respond to the various reform provisions because many provisions will not be implemented for several years under the Affordable Care Acts implementation schedule. Further, we are unable to predict the outcome of new or remaining court challenges and the impact of continued legislative efforts to delay implementation of or amend the Affordable Care Act.
Our revenues will decline if federal or state programs reduce our Medicare or Medicaid payments or if managed care companies reduce reimbursement amounts. In addition, the financial condition of payors and healthcare cost containment initiatives may limit our revenues and profitability.
In 2012, we derived 27% % of our revenues from the Medicare and Medicaid programs, collectively. The Medicare and Medicaid programs are subject to statutory and regulatory changes, administrative rulings, interpretations and determinations concerning patient eligibility requirements, funding levels and the method of calculating payments or reimbursements and requirements for utilization review, among other things, and federal and state funding restrictions, all of which could materially increase or decrease payments from these government programs in the future, as well as affect the timing of payments to our facilities.
We are unable to predict the effect of future government healthcare funding policy changes on our operations. If the rates paid by governmental payors are reduced, if the scope of services covered by governmental payors is limited or if we or one or more of our hospitals are excluded from participation in the Medicare or Medicaid program or any other government healthcare program, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, revenues from HMOs, PPOs and other private payors are subject to contracts and other arrangements that require us to discount the amounts we customarily charge for healthcare services.
During the past several years, healthcare payors, such as federal and state governments, insurance companies and employers, have undertaken initiatives to revise payment methodologies and monitor healthcare costs. As part of their efforts to contain healthcare costs, payors increasingly are demanding discounted fee
38
structures or the assumption by healthcare providers of all or a portion of the financial risk related to paying for care provided, often in exchange for exclusive or preferred participation in their benefit plans. Similarly, many individuals and employers have attempted to reduce their healthcare costs by moving to private payor plans that reimburse our facilities at significantly lower rate than other competing private payors. We expect efforts to impose greater discounts and more stringent cost controls by government and private payors to continue, thereby reducing the payments we receive for our services. In addition, payors have instituted policies and procedures to substantially reduce or limit the use of inpatient services. For example, CMS has transitioned to full implementation of the MS-DRG system, which represents a refinement to the existing diagnosis-related group system. Future realignments in the MS-DRG system could impact the margins we receive for certain services. Furthermore, the Affordable Care Act, the Tax Relief Act and the ATRA provide for material reductions in the growth of Medicare program spending, including reductions in Medicare market basket updates, and Medicare DSH funding.
All, but one, of our hospitals are certified as providers of Medicaid services. Medicaid programs are jointly funded by federal and state governments and are administered by states under an approved plan that provides hospital and other healthcare benefits to qualifying individuals who are unable to afford care. A number of states, however, are experiencing budget problems and have adopted or are considering legislation designed to reduce their Medicaid expenditures, including enrolling Medicaid recipients in managed care programs and imposing additional taxes on hospitals to help finance or expand such states Medicaid systems. It is possible that budgetary pressures will force states to resort to some of the cost saving measures mentioned above. These efforts could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
We are subject to increasingly stringent governmental regulation, and may be subjected to allegations that we have failed to comply with governmental regulations which could result in sanctions and even greater scrutiny that reduce our revenues and profitability.
All participants in the healthcare industry are required to comply with many laws and regulations at the federal, state and local government levels. These laws and regulations require that hospitals meet various requirements, including those relating to hospitals relationships with physicians and other referral sources, the adequacy and quality of medical care, inpatient admission criteria, privacy and security of health information, standards for equipment, personnel, operating policies and procedures, billing and cost reports, payment for services and supplies, maintenance of adequate records, compliance with building codes and environmental protection, among other matters. Many of the laws and regulations applicable to the healthcare industry are complex, and there are numerous enforcement authorities, including CMS, OIG, State Attorneys General, and contracted auditors, as well as whistleblowers. Some positions taken in connection with enforcement appear to be inconsistent with historical common practices within the industry but have not previously been challenged. Moreover, as a result of the provisions of the Affordable Care Act that created potential False Claims Act liabilities for failing to report and repay known overpayments and return an overpayment within sixty (60) days of the identification of the overpayment or the date by which a corresponding cost report is due, whichever is later, hospitals and other healthcare providers are encouraged to disclose potential violations of law.
Hospitals continue to be one of the primary focal areas of the OIG and other governmental fraud and abuse programs. In January 2005, the OIG issued Supplemental Compliance Program Guidance for Hospitals that focuses on hospital compliance risk areas. Some of the risk areas highlighted by the OIG include correct outpatient procedure coding, revising admission and discharge policies to reflect current CMS rules, submitting appropriate claims for supplemental payments such as pass-through costs and outlier payments and a general discussion of the fraud and abuse risks related to financial relationships with referral sources. Each FFY, the OIG also publishes a General Work Plan that provides a brief description of the activities that the OIG plans to initiate or continue with respect to the programs and operations of HHS and details the areas that the OIG believes are prone to fraud and abuse.
The laws and regulations with which we must comply are complex and subject to change. In the future, different interpretations or enforcement of these laws and regulations could subject our practices to allegations of impropriety or illegality or could require us to make changes in our facilities, equipment, personnel, services, capital expenditure programs and operating expenses. If we fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, we could suffer civil or criminal penalties, including the loss of our licenses to operate our hospitals and our ability to participate in the Medicare, Medicaid and other federal and state healthcare programs.
39
Finally, we are subject to various federal, state and local statutes and ordinances regulating the discharge of materials into the environment. Our healthcare operations generate medical waste, such as pharmaceuticals, biological materials and disposable medical instruments that must be disposed of in compliance with federal, state and local environmental laws, rules and regulations. Our operations are also subject to various other environmental laws, rules and regulations. Environmental regulations also may apply when we renovate or refurbish hospitals, particularly older facilities.
As a result of increased reviews of claims to Medicare and Medicaid for our services, we may incur additional costs and may be required to repay amounts already paid to us.
We are subject to regular post-payment inquiries, investigations and audits of the claims we submit to Medicare for payment for our services. These post-payment reviews are increasing as a result of government cost-containment initiatives, including enhanced medical necessity reviews for Medicare patients admitted as inpatients to general acute care hospitals for certain procedures (e.g., cardiovascular procedures) and audits of Medicare claims under the RAC programs. RACs utilize a post-payment targeted review process employing data analysis techniques in order to identify those Medicare claims most likely to contain overpayments, such as incorrectly coded services, short stays, incorrect payment amounts, non-covered services and duplicate payments. The claims review strategies used by the RACs generally include a review of high dollar claims, including inpatient hospital claims. As a result, a large majority of the total amounts recovered by RACs has come from hospitals. In addition, CMS has announced a pre-payment demonstration project that will allow RACs to review claims before they are paid to ensure that the provider complied with all Medicare payment rules. Under the demonstration project, RACs conduct prepayment reviews on certain types of claims that historically result in high rates of improper payments, beginning with those involving short stay inpatient hospital services. These reviews will focus on certain states with high populations of fraud and error-prone providers (including the state of Texas in which we operate) and other states high claims volumes of short inpatient hospital stays. The demonstration project began on August 27, 2012 and will run for a three year period.
The Affordable Care Act expanded the RAC programs scope to include managed Medicare and to include Medicaid claims, and all states are now required to establish programs to contract with RACs. In addition, CMS employs Medicaid Integrity Contractors (MICs) to perform post-payment audits of Medicaid claims and identify overpayments. The Affordable Care Act increases federal funding for the MIC program for FFY 2011 and later years. In addition to RACs and MICs, the state Medicaid agencies and other contractors have also increased their review activities. Any such audit or investigation could have a material adverse effect on the results of our operations.
We may continue to see the growth of uninsured and patient due accounts, and deterioration in the collectability of these accounts could adversely affect our collections of accounts receivable, revenues, results of operations and cash flows.
The primary collection risks associated with our accounts receivable relate to the uninsured patient accounts and patient accounts for which the primary insurance carrier has paid the amounts covered by the applicable agreement, but patient responsibility amounts (deductibles and co-payments) remain outstanding. The provision for doubtful accounts relates primarily to amounts due directly from patients. This risk has increased, and will likely continue to increase, as more individuals enroll in high deductible insurance plans or those with high co-payments or who have no insurance coverage. These trends will likely be exacerbated if general economic conditions remain challenging or if unemployment levels in the communities in which we operate rise. As unemployment rates increase, our business strategies to generate organic growth and to improve admissions and adjusted admissions at our hospitals could become more difficult to accomplish.
The amount of our provision for doubtful accounts is based on our assessments of historical collection trends, business and economic conditions, trends in federal and state governmental and private employer health coverage and other collection indicators. A continuation in trends that results in increasing the proportion of accounts receivable being comprised of uninsured accounts and deterioration in the collectability of these accounts
40
could adversely affect our collections of accounts receivable, results of operations and cash flows. As enacted, the Affordable Care Act seeks to decrease, over time, the number of uninsured individuals. Among other things, the Affordable Care Act will, beginning in 2014, incentivize states to expand their Medicaid eligibility requirements and incentivize employers to offer, and require individuals to carry, health insurance or be subject to penalties. However, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the Affordable Care Act due to its complexity, lack of implementing regulations and interpretive guidance, gradual and potentially delayed implementation, and possible amendment, as well as our inability to foresee how individuals, businesses and states will respond to the choices afforded them by the Affordable Care Act. In addition, even after implementation of the Affordable Care Act, we may continue to experience bad debts and be required to provide uninsured discounts and charity care for undocumented aliens who are not permitted to enroll in a health insurance exchange or government healthcare programs.
Controls designed to reduce inpatient services may reduce our revenues.
Controls imposed by Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial third-party payors designed to reduce admissions and lengths of stay, commonly referred to as utilization review, have affected and are expected to continue to affect our facilities. Federal law contains numerous provisions designed to ensure that services rendered by hospitals to Medicare and Medicaid patients meet professionally recognized standards and are medically necessary and that claims for reimbursement are properly filed. These provisions include a requirement that a sampling of admissions of Medicare and Medicaid patients must be reviewed by quality improvement organizations, which review the appropriateness of Medicare and Medicaid patient admissions and discharges, the quality of care provided, the validity of MS-DRG classifications and the appropriateness of cases of extraordinary length of stay or cost on a post-discharge basis. Quality improvement organizations may deny payment for services or assess fines and also have the authority to recommend to HHS that a provider which is in substantial noncompliance with the standards of the quality improvement organization be excluded from participation in the Medicare program. The Affordable Care Act potentially expands the use of prepayment review by Medicare contractors by eliminating statutory restrictions on their use, and, as a result, efforts to impose more stringent cost controls are expected to continue. Utilization review is also a requirement of most non-governmental managed care organizations and other third-party payors. Inpatient utilization, average lengths of stay and occupancy rates continue to be negatively affected by payor-required preadmission authorization and utilization review and by third party payor pressure to maximize outpatient and alternative healthcare delivery services for less acutely ill patients. Although we are unable to predict the effect these controls and changes will have on our operations, significant limits on the scope of services reimbursed and on reimbursement rates and fees could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.
We may be subjected to actions brought by the government under anti-fraud and abuse provisions or by individuals on the governments behalf under the False Claims Acts qui tam or whistleblower provisions.
The federal False Claims Act prohibits providers from, among other things, knowingly submitting false claims for payment to the federal government. The qui tam or whistleblower provisions of the False Claims Act allow private individuals to bring actions under the False Claims Act on behalf of the government. These private parties are entitled to share in any amounts recovered by the government, and, as a result, the number of whistleblower lawsuits that have been filed against providers has increased significantly in recent years. Defendants found to be liable under the federal False Claims Act may be required to pay three times the actual damages sustained by the government, plus mandatory civil penalties ranging between $5,500 and $11,000 for each separate false claim.
There are many potential bases for liability under the False Claims Act. The government has used the False Claims Act to prosecute Medicare and other government healthcare program fraud such as coding errors, billing for services not provided, submitting false cost reports, and providing care that is not medically necessary or that is substandard in quality. The Affordable Care Act also provides that claims submitted in connection with patient referrals that result from violations of the Anti-kickback Statute constitute false claims for the purposes of the federal False Claims Act, and some courts have held that a violation of the Stark law can result in False Claims Act liability, as well. In addition, a number of states have adopted their own false claims and whistleblower provisions whereby a private party may file a civil lawsuit in state court. We are required to provide information to our employees and certain contractors about state and federal false claims laws and whistleblower provisions and protections.
41
Although we intend and will endeavor to conduct our business in compliance with all applicable federal and state fraud and abuse laws, many of these laws are broadly worded and may be interpreted or applied in ways that cannot be predicted. Therefore, we cannot assure you that our arrangements or business practices will not be subject to government scrutiny or be found to be in compliance with applicable fraud and abuse laws.
The industry trend towards value-based purchasing may negatively impact our revenues.
There is a trend in the healthcare industry toward value-based purchasing of healthcare services. These value-based purchasing programs include both public reporting of quality data and preventable adverse events tied to the quality and efficiency of care provided by facilities. Governmental programs including Medicare and Medicaid currently require hospitals to report certain quality data to receive full reimbursement updates. In addition, Medicare does not reimburse for care related to certain preventable adverse events. Many large commercial payors currently require hospitals to report quality data, and several commercial payors do not reimburse hospitals for certain preventable adverse events.
The Affordable Care Act contains a number of provisions intended to promote value-based purchasing. Effective July 1, 2011, the Affordable Care Act prohibits the use of federal funds under the Medicaid program to reimburse providers for medical assistance provided to treat HACs. Beginning in FFY 2015, hospitals that fall into the top 25% of national risk-adjusted HAC rates for all hospitals in the previous year will receive a 1% reduction in their total Medicare payments. Another provision reduces payments for all inpatient discharges for hospitals that experience excessive readmissions for certain conditions designated by HHS.
The Affordable Care Act also requires HHS to implement a value-based purchasing program for inpatient hospital services. The Affordable Care Act requires HHS to reduce inpatient hospital payments for all discharges by a percentage beginning at 1% in FFY 2013 and increasing by 0.25% each fiscal year up to 2% in FFY 2017 and subsequent years. HHS will pool the amount collected from these reductions to fund payments to reward hospitals that meet or exceed certain quality performance standards established by HHS. HHS will determine the amount each hospital that meets or exceeds the quality performance standards will receive from the pool of dollars created by these payment reductions.
We expect value-based purchasing programs, including programs that condition reimbursement on patient outcome measures, to become more common and to involve a higher percentage of reimbursement amounts. We are unable at this time to predict how this trend will affect our results of operations, but it could negatively impact our revenues.
The lingering effects of the economic recession could materially adversely affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The U.S. economy continues to experience the negative effects from an economic recession, and unemployment levels remain high. While certain healthcare spending is considered non-discretionary and may not be significantly impacted by economic downturns, other types of healthcare spending may be adversely impacted by such conditions. When patients are experiencing personal financial difficulties or have concerns about general economic conditions, they may choose:
| to defer or forego elective surgeries and other non-emergent procedures, which are generally more profitable lines of business for hospitals; or |
| a high-deductible insurance plan or no insurance at all, which increases a hospitals dependence on self-pay revenue. Moreover, a greater number of uninsured patients may seek care in our emergency rooms. |
We are unable to determine the specific impact of these economic conditions on our business at this time, but we believe that the lingering effects of the economic recession could have an adverse impact on our operations and could impact not only the healthcare decisions of our patients, but also the solvency of managed care providers and other counterparties to transactions with us.
42
The failure of certain employers, or the closure of certain manufacturing and other facilities in our markets, can have a disproportionate impact on our hospitals.
The economies in the non-urban communities in which our hospitals primarily operate are often dependent on a small number of large employers, especially manufacturing or other facilities. These employers often provide income and health insurance for a disproportionately large number of community residents who may depend on our hospitals for care. The failure of one or more large employers, or the closure or substantial reduction in the number of individuals employed at manufacturing or other facilities located in or near many of the non-urban communities in which our hospitals primarily operate, could cause affected employees to move elsewhere for employment or lose insurance coverage that was otherwise available to them. The occurrence of these events may cause a material reduction in our revenues and results of operations or impede our business strategies intended to generate organic growth and improve operating results at our hospitals.
We may have difficulty acquiring hospitals on favorable terms.
One element of our business strategy is expansion through the acquisition of acute care hospitals primarily in non-urban markets. We face significant competition to acquire attractive hospitals, and we may not find suitable acquisitions on favorable terms. Our primary competitors for acquisitions have included for-profit and tax-exempt hospitals and hospital systems and privately capitalized start-up companies. Buyers with a strategic desire for any particular hospital, for example, a hospital located near existing hospitals or those who will realize economic synergies, have demonstrated an ability and willingness to pay premium prices for hospitals. Strategic buyers, as a result, can present a competitive barrier to our acquisition efforts.
Given the increasingly challenging regulatory and enforcement environment, our ability to acquire hospitals could be negatively impacted if targets are found to have material unresolved compliance issues. We may condition our purchase on the resolution of such issues by reporting or refunding amounts under the voluntary self-disclosure protocols. We could experience delays in closing or fail to close transactions with targets that initially were attractive but became unattractive as a result of a poor compliance program, material non-compliance with laws or failure to timely address compliance risks.
The cost of an acquisition could result in a dilutive effect on our results of operations, depending on various factors, including the amount paid for the acquisition, the acquired hospitals results of operations, allocation of purchase price, effects of subsequent legislation and limitations on rate increases. In the past, we have occasionally experienced temporary delays in improving the operating margins or effectively integrating the operations of our acquired hospitals. In the future, if we are unable to improve the operating margins of acquired hospitals, operate them profitably or effectively integrate their operations, we may be unable to achieve our growth strategy.
Even if we are able to identify an attractive target, we may not be able to obtain financing, if necessary, for any acquisitions or joint ventures that we might make or may be required to borrow at higher rates and on less favorable terms. We may incur or assume additional indebtedness as a result of acquisitions. Our failure to acquire non-urban hospitals consistent with our growth plans could prevent us from increasing our revenues.
In recent years, the legislatures and attorneys general of several states have become more interested in sales of hospitals by tax-exempt entities. This heightened scrutiny may increase the cost and difficulty, or prevent the completion, of transactions with tax-exempt organizations in the future.
We may encounter difficulty operating, integrating and improving financial performance at acquired hospitals.
We may be unable to timely and effectively integrate any hospitals that we acquire with our ongoing operations. We may experience delays in implementing operating procedures and systems in newly acquired hospitals. Integrating an acquired hospital could be expensive and time consuming and could disrupt our ongoing business, negatively affect cash flow and distract management and other key personnel. In addition, acquisition
43
activity requires transitions from, and the integration of, operations and, usually, information systems that are used by acquired hospitals. In addition, we may not be able to achieve improved financial performance at acquired hospitals within our targeted time frames, or continue to improve financial performance for sustained periods following the acquisition.
If we do not effectively attract, recruit and retain qualified physicians, our ability to deliver healthcare services efficiently will be adversely affected.
As a general matter, only physicians on our medical staffs may direct hospital admissions and the services ordered once a patient is admitted to a hospital. As a result, the success of our hospitals depends in part on the number and quality of the physicians on the medical staffs of our hospitals, the admitting practices of those physicians and maintaining good relations with those physicians.
The success of our efforts to recruit and retain quality physicians depends on several factors, including the actual and perceived quality of services provided by our hospitals, our ability to meet demands for new technology and our ability to identify and communicate with physicians who want to practice in non-urban communities. In particular, we face intense competition in the recruitment and retention of specialists because of the difficulty in convincing these individuals of the benefits of practicing or remaining in practice in non-urban communities. If the non-urban communities in which our hospitals primarily operate are not seen as attractive, then we could experience difficulty attracting and retaining physicians to practice in our communities. We may not be able to recruit all of the physicians we target. In addition, we may incur increased malpractice expense if the quality of physicians we recruit does not meet our expectations.
Additionally, our ability to recruit physicians is closely regulated. For example, the types, amount and duration of assistance we can provide to recruited physicians are limited by the Stark law, the Anti-kickback Statute, state anti-kickback statutes, and related regulations. For example, the Stark law requires, among other things, that recruitment assistance can only be provided to physicians who meet certain geographic and practice requirements, that the amount of assistance cannot be changed during the term of the recruitment agreement, and that the recruitment payments cannot generally benefit physicians currently in practice in the community beyond recruitment costs actually incurred by them. In addition to these legal requirements, there is competition from other communities and facilities for these physicians, and this competition continues after the physician is practicing in one of our communities.
Our hospitals face competition for staffing, which may increase labor costs and reduce profitability.
In addition to our physicians, the operations of our hospitals are dependent on the efforts, abilities and experience of our management and medical support personnel, such as nurses, pharmacists and lab technicians. We compete with other healthcare providers in recruiting and retaining qualified management and staff personnel responsible for the day-to-day operations of each of our hospitals, including nurses and other non-physician healthcare professionals. In some markets, the scarce availability of nurses and other medical support personnel presents a significant operating issue. This shortage may require us to enhance wages and benefits to recruit and retain nurses and other medical support personnel, recruit personnel from foreign countries, and hire more expensive temporary or contract personnel. In addition, the states in which we operate could adopt mandatory nurse-staffing ratios or could reduce mandatory nurse staffing ratios already in place. State-mandated nurse-staffing ratios could significantly affect labor costs and have an adverse impact on revenues if we are required to limit admissions in order to meet the required ratios. If our labor costs increase, we may not be able to raise rates to offset these increased costs. We also depend on the available labor pool of semi-skilled and unskilled employees in each of the markets in which we operate. Because a significant percentage of our revenue consists of fixed, prospective payments, our ability to pass along increased labor costs is constrained. Our failure to recruit and retain qualified management, nurses and other medical support personnel or to control our labor costs could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
The loss of certain physicians can have a disproportionate impact on certain of our hospitals.
Generally, the top ten attending physicians within each of our facilities represent a large share of our inpatient revenues and admissions. The loss of one or more of these physicians, even if temporary, could cause a material reduction in our revenues, which could take significant time to replace given the difficulty and cost associated with recruiting and retaining physicians.
44
We are subject to risks associated with outsourcing functions to third parties.
To improve operating margins, productivity and efficiency, we outsource selected nonclinical business functions to third parties. We take steps to monitor and regulate the performance of independent third parties to whom the Company delegates selected functions, including revenue cycle management, patient access, billing, cash collections, payment compliance and support services, project implementation, supply chain management and payroll services.
Arrangements with third party service providers may make our operations vulnerable if vendors fail to satisfy their obligations to us as a result of their performance, changes in their own operations, financial condition, or other matters outside of our control. The expanding role of third party providers may also require changes to our existing operations and the adoption of new procedures and processes for retaining and managing these providers, as well as redistributing responsibilities as needed, in order to realize the potential productivity and operational efficiencies. Effective management, development and implementation of our outsourcing strategies are important to our business and strategy. If there are delays or difficulties in enhancing business processes or our third party providers do not perform as anticipated, we may not fully realize on a timely basis the anticipated economic and other benefits of the outsourcing projects or other relationships we enter into with key vendors, which could result in substantial costs, divert managements attention from other strategic activities, negatively affect employee morale or create other operational or financial problems for us.
Terminating or transitioning arrangements with key vendors could result in additional costs and a risk of operational delays, potential errors and possible control issues as a result of the termination or during the transition phase.
If we fail to effectively and timely implement electronic health record systems, our operations could be adversely affected.
As required by ARRA, the Secretary of HHS has developed and implemented an incentive payment program for eligible hospitals and healthcare professionals that adopt and meaningfully use electronic health record (EHR) technology. HHS uses the Provider Enrollment, Chain and Ownership System (PECOS) to verify Medicare enrollment prior to making EHR incentive program payments. If our hospitals and employed professionals are unable to meet the requirements for participation in the incentive payment program, including having an enrollment record in PECOS, we will not be eligible to receive incentive payments that could offset some of the costs of implementing EHR systems. Further, beginning in FFY 2015, eligible hospitals and professionals that fail to demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR technology will be subject to reduced payments from Medicare. System conversions to comply with EHR could be time consuming and disruptive for physicians and employees. Failure to implement EHR systems effectively and in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.
We are in process of converting certain of our clinical and patient accounting information system applications to newer versions of existing applications or all together new applications at several of our facilities. In connection with our implementations and conversions, we have incurred significant capitalized costs and additional training and implementation expenses. In addition, EHR incentive payments previously recognized are subject to audit and potential recoupment if it is determined that we did not meet the applicable meaningful use standards required in connection with such incentive payments.
We are subject to potential legal and reputational risk as a result of our access to personal information of our patients.
There are numerous federal and state laws and regulations addressing patient and consumer privacy concerns, including unauthorized access to or theft of personal information. In the ordinary course of our business,
45
we, and vendors on our behalf, collect and store sensitive data, including personal health data and other personally identifiable information of our patients. The secure processing, maintenance and transmission of this information are critical to our operations and business strategy. We have developed a comprehensive set of policies and procedures in our efforts to comply with HIPAA and other privacy laws. The HHS Office for Civil Rights has imposed civil monetary penalties and corrective action plans on covered entities for violating HIPAAs privacy rule. If, in spite of our compliance efforts we were to experience a breach, loss, or other compromise of such personal health information, such event could disrupt our operations, damage our reputation, result in regulatory penalties, legal claims and liability under HIPAA and other state and federal laws, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we acquire hospitals with unknown or contingent liabilities, we could become liable for material obligations.
Businesses we have acquired, or businesses we may acquire may have unknown or contingent liabilities for past activities of acquired businesses, including liabilities for failure to comply with healthcare laws and regulations, medical and general professional liabilities, workers compensation liabilities, previous tax liabilities and unacceptable business practices. Although we endeavor to continue to obtain contractual indemnification from sellers covering these matters, any indemnification obtained from sellers may be insufficient to cover material claims or liabilities for past activities of acquired businesses.
Other hospitals and outpatient facilities provide services similar to those which we offer. In addition, physicians provide services in their offices that could be provided in our hospitals. These factors increase the level of competition we face and may therefore adversely affect our revenues, profitability and market share
Competition among hospitals and other healthcare service providers, including outpatient facilities, has intensified in recent years. We compete with other hospitals, including larger tertiary care centers located in larger metropolitan areas, and with physicians who provide services in their offices which could otherwise be provided in our hospitals. Although the hospitals with which we compete may be a significant distance away from our facilities, patients in our markets may migrate on their own to, may be referred by local physicians to, or may be encouraged by their health plan to travel to these hospitals. Furthermore, some of the hospitals with which we compete may offer more or different services than those available at our hospitals, may have more advanced equipment or may have a medical staff that is thought to be better qualified. Also, some of the hospitals that compete with our facilities are owned by tax-supported governmental agencies or not-for-profit entities supported by endowments and charitable contributions. These hospitals, in most instances, are also exempt from paying sales, property and income taxes.
Quality of care and value-based purchasing have also become significant trends and competitive factors in the healthcare industry. In 2005, CMS began making public performance data relating to ten quality measures that hospitals submit in connection with their Medicare reimbursement. Since that time, CMS has on several occasions increased the number of quality measures hospitals are required to report in order to receive the full IPPS and OPPS market basket updates. In addition, the Medicare program no longer reimburses hospitals for care relating to certain preventable adverse events, and many private healthcare payors have adopted similar policies. If the public performance data become a primary factor in where patients choose to receive care, and if competing hospitals have better results than our hospitals on those measures, we would expect that our patient volumes could decline.
We also face very significant and increasing competition from services offered by physicians (including physicians on our medical staffs) in their offices and from other specialized care providers, including outpatient surgery, oncology, physical therapy and diagnostic centers (including many in which physicians may have an ownership interest). Some of our hospitals have and will seek to develop outpatient facilities where necessary to compete effectively. However, to the extent that other providers are successful in developing outpatient facilities or physicians are able to offer additional, advanced services in their offices, our market share for these services will likely decrease in the future.
46
If we do not continually enhance our hospitals with the most recent technological advances in diagnostic and surgical equipment, our ability to maintain and expand our markets may be adversely affected.
Technological advances, including with respect to computer-assisted tomography scanner (CTs), magnetic resonance imaging (MRIs) and robotic surgery devices, continue to evolve. In addition, the manufacturers of such equipment often provide incentives to try to increase their sales, including providing favorable financing to higher credit risk organizations. In an effort to compete, we must continually assess our equipment needs and upgrade our equipment as a result of technological improvements. We believe that the direction of the patient flow correlates directly to the level and intensity of such diagnostic equipment.
We may be subject to liabilities because of malpractice and related legal claims brought against our hospitals. If we become subject to these claims, we could be required to pay significant damages, which may not be covered by insurance.
We may be subject to medical malpractice lawsuits and other legal actions arising out of the operations of our owned and leased hospitals and the activities of our employed physicians. These actions may involve large claims and significant defense costs. In an effort to resolve one or more of these matters, we may choose to negotiate a settlement. Amounts we pay to settle any of these matters may be material. We maintain professional and general liability insurance with unrelated commercial insurance carriers to provide for losses in excess of our deductible amount. Also, some of these claims could exceed the scope of the coverage in effect, or coverage of particular claims could be denied.

On July 22, 2013, in connection with the Acquisition, we issued 114,500,000 shares of common stock to Foundation Healthcare Affiliates, LLC, which represents on a post-transaction basis, approximately 70% of our outstanding common stock.

Each FHE Units is being offered at $105,000 and entitles the purchaser to one (1) Class B membership interest in FHE, valued at $100,000 and 10,000 shares of the Companys common stock. We issued 870,000 shares of common stock to the purchasers of the FHE Units. In addition, the FHE Units are convertible into shares of our common stock at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $2.00 per share or currently 4,350,000 shares of our common stock. If all 152 FHE Units are issued, we would issue, in the aggregate 1,520,000 shares of restricted stock and the 152 FHE Units would be convertible for up to 7,600,000 shares of our common stock.

Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all of Landlords costs and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing promptly upon written request from Landlord. Landlord shall include with its written request paid invoices or such other evidence of payment and/or expense.
Section 9.3. Additional Insurance. Tenant shall, at Tenants cost and expense, obtain and keep in force a policy or policies of the following insurance covering the Premises:
(i) If the Premises, or any part thereof, is located within a one hundred (100) year flood plain area designated by Federal Emergency Management Agency, flood and such other hazards and in such amounts as may be customary for comparable properties in the area and if available from insurance companies authorized to do business in the state in which the Premises are located at rates which are economically practicable in relation to the risks covered.
(ii) If Tenant shall engage or cause to be engaged any contractor to perform work any Alterations in, on or about the Premises, the estimated cost of which will exceed $100,000.00, Tenant shall require such contractor to carry and maintain, at no expense to Landlord, commercial general liability insurance, builders risk insurance, including but not limited to contractors liability coverage, completed operations coverage, broad form property damage endorsement, workers compensation, and contractors protection liability coverage in such amounts and with such deductibles and such companies as are customary for the Alterations to be performed. Upon Landlord or Landlords Mortgagees written request, Tenant shall provide evidence of that such insurance is in full force and effect.

Section 9.4. Tenants Right to Insure; Waiver of Subrogation. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right to directly procure any or all of the insurance required to be provided by Landlord pursuant to this Article IX, provided that such insurance and such insurance provider meet all of the requirements of this Article IX and such other commercially reasonable requirements as may be required by Landlords Mortgagee from time to time. In the event that Tenant elects to directly procure such insurance, Tenant shall remain liable for all of Landlords costs incurred in connection with Landlords obligation to provide such insurance under this Article IX, less any refunds or return of premiums actually received by Landlord. Any insurance maintained by either Landlord or Tenant shall provide that, to the extent permitted by law, the insurer waives all rights of subrogation against the Landlord and Tenant, as applicable, and their agents or employees, with respect to losses payable under the policy.
Section 9.5. Insurance Company Rating Requirements. All policies of insurance required under this Lease shall be placed with insurance companies having claims paying ratings no lower than A.M. Best A- or equivalent NAIC rating, from time to time.
ARTICLE X
EMINENT DOMAIN
If the Premises are taken in their entirety under the power of eminent domain by, or conveyed in lieu of such exercise to, any public authority, then Tenants obligations as to the Premises shall terminate as of the date upon which title to the Premises shall become vested in the condemning authority. If the entire parking area associated with the Premises or substantially all of the parking area associated with the Premises shall be taken at any time during the term of this Lease for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful power or authority, by the exercise of right of condemnation or eminent domain, or by agreement between Landlord, Tenant and those authorized to exercise such right, and Landlord fails to provide suitable replacement parking in connection therewith, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date upon which title to the parking area shall become vested in the condemning authority. Subject to the parking area provisions, if less than all of the Premises is so taken or conveyed, Tenants obligations as to the Premises shall not terminate, Rent shall abate and be reduced proportionally to such taking, and Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, restore the balance of the Premises to a complete structural unit that can be operated on an economically feasible basis under the provisions of this Lease using the proceeds of the condemnation. If the condemnation proceeds resulting from such taking or conveyance are payable to the Landlord, Landlords Mortgagee or the holder of any future Mortgage Debt, then the obligation of Tenant to so restore the balance of the Premises shall be subject to the availability to Tenant of such proceeds to the extent needed to pay for such restoration. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to cause such proceeds to be made available to Tenant for such purpose. In the event Landlord, Landlords Mortgagee or the holder of any future Mortgage Debt do not make the condemnation proceeds available to Tenant to restore the balance of the Premises, then and in that event, Tenant will have the option to terminate the Lease or restore the balance of the Premises and receive an abatement of Rent during the restoration and a proportionate reduction in Rent for the remainder of the term of the Lease. Tenant shall be obligated to meet all reasonable conditions imposed on the use of any such proceeds by the Landlords Mortgagee or any holder of future Mortgage Debt. If such proceeds are made available to Tenant by the Landlords Mortgagee or the holder of any future Mortgage Debt and such proceeds are insufficient to restore the Premises as described above, Tenant shall be required to make up such deficiency out of Tenants own funds. All damages awarded for any taking of all or any part of the Premises shall belong to Landlord, except that
14
Tenant shall be entitled to any award made for removal and reinstallation of Tenants fixtures, moving expenses, loss of business and loss of its leasehold interest. In the event that Landlord elects not to do so, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right to contest any such eminent domain proceedings, including, but not limited to, the right to contest the proposed amount of any such award.
ARTICLE XI
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
Provided that, at all times, (i) no Event of Default (as defined in Section 13.1.) under this Lease has occurred and is continuing; (ii) the sublease is expressly subject and subordinate to this Lease; and (iii) Tenant shall remain primarily liable for all of Tenants obligations under this Lease, Tenant may sublet the Premises, in whole or in part, without Landlords consent (Permitted Subleases). Upon any such sublease or upon any assignment of this Lease by Tenant, Tenant shall remain primarily liable to Landlord for timely payment and performance of all Rent and other obligations under this Lease. Tenant agrees to promptly notify Landlord in writing of all Permitted Subleases the Tenant enters into under this Lease. Landlord may accept Rent, Additional Rent, and any other sums that may become due under this Lease directly from any subtenant as agent for Tenant and require attornment of such subtenant in the event that this Lease is terminated or fails for any reason whatsoever. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Landlords consent shall not be required for, and nothing shall prohibit or restrict any leasehold mortgage entered into by Tenant, or any assignment of this Lease or subletting of a part or the whole of the Premises by Tenant: (i) to an affiliate of Tenant; (ii) in conjunction with any consolidation, reorganization, merger, acquisition, or private placement involving Tenant or any of its affiliate(s); (iii) to any corporation or other business entity purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant or any of its affiliate(s); or (iv) in conjunction with any offering, sale, listing, redemption, hypothecation, conversion, exchange, transfer or other similar disposition of all or any portion of the membership interests of Tenant or any of its affiliate(s).
ARTICLE XII
END OF TERM
Tenant shall surrender actual and exclusive possession of the entirety of the Premises to Landlord at the end of the Term, in good condition, subject to reasonable wear and tear, subject only to such tenancies and occupancies permitted to remain in effect beyond the expiration of the Term to which Landlord has previously agreed in writing and Permitted Subleases.
ARTICLE XIII

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, in addition to any other remedies provided by law, Landlord may terminate this Lease, or Landlord may, without terminating this Lease in accordance with applicable law, re-enter the Premises or any property comprising part of the Premises and dispossess Tenant or any other occupant of the Premises or any property comprising part of the Premises and remove Tenants and/or such other occupants effects and relet the Premises or any property comprising part of the Premises for the account of Tenant for such rent and on such terms as shall be satisfactory to Landlord, crediting the actual proceeds of reletting (after deducting the costs and expenses of re-entry, alterations and additions and the expense of reletting) to the unpaid amounts due under this Lease during the remainder of the Term and Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for the balance owed. Tenant shall not be entitled to any rents received by Landlord which exceed the balance owed by Tenant to Landlord calculated as provided in the immediately preceding sentence.
Section 13.3. Termination of Lease; Money Judgment. Upon termination of this Lease as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default in accordance with applicable law, Landlord shall be entitled as final and liquidated damages to a money judgment against Tenant in the amount of the aggregate of the following: (i) all unpaid Rent due on or before the date of termination, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate; (ii) the excess, if any, of all Rent which would have become due on or before the date of the judgment but for the termination over the fair market rental value of the Premises for such period, taking into account a reasonable vacancy and lease up factor, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate; and (iii) the excess, if any, of all Rent which would come due after the date of the judgment but for the termination of this Lease over the fair rental value of the Premises for such period, taking into account a reasonable vacancy rate and lease up factor, discounted to present value using as a discount factor the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in effect at the time of judgment.
16
Section 13.4. Expenses of Enforcement. If, at any time during the Term of this Lease, either Landlord or Tenant shall institute any action or proceeding against the other which is related to or arises out of the provisions of this Lease or any default hereunder, then each party shall bear its own costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys fees and expenses.
Section 13.5. Landlords Right to Cure. Landlord may assign its rights under this Section to the Landlords Mortgagee upon written notice to Tenant. If Tenant shall fail to make any payment, or to perform any act required to be made or performed under this Lease and to timely cure the same, Landlord, without waiving or releasing any obligation or Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Tenant, and may, to the extent permitted by law, enter upon the Property for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in Landlords opinion, may be necessary or appropriate therefore, and no such entry shall be deemed an eviction of Tenant. Tenant shall immediately repay the same to Landlord, upon demand, together with all costs and expenses so incurred, together with a late charge thereon, all to the extent permitted by law, at the Interest Rate from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid or incurred by Landlord. The obligations of Tenant and rights of Landlord contained in this Article shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
Section 13.6. Bankruptcy of Tenant.
(a) In the event that Tenant shall become a debtor in a case filed under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code and Tenants trustee or Tenant shall elect to assume this Lease for the purpose of assigning the same or otherwise, such election and assignment may be made only if the provisions of Section 13.6.(b) and Section 13.6.(d) are satisfied as if the election to assume were made in a case filed under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. If Tenant or Tenants trustee shall fail to elect to assume this Lease within sixty (60) days after the filing of such petition or such additional time as provided by the court within such 60-day period, this Lease shall be deemed to have been rejected and immediately thereupon Landlord shall be entitled to possession of the Premises without further obligation to Tenant or Tenants trustee and this Lease upon the election of Landlord shall terminate, but Landlords right to be compensated for damages (including, without limitation, liquidated damages pursuant to any provision hereof) or the exercise of any other remedies in any such proceeding shall survive, whether or not this Lease shall be terminated.
(b) (i) In the event that Tenant shall become a debtor in a case filed under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, or in a case filed under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code which is transferred to Chapter 11, Tenants trustee or Tenant, as debtor-in-possession, must elect to assume this Lease within sixty (60) days from the date of the filing of the petition under Chapter 11 or the transfer thereto or such additional time as provided by the court or Tenants trustee or the debtor-in possession shall be deemed to have rejected this Lease. In the event that Tenant, Tenants trustee or the debtor-in-possession has failed to perform all of Tenants obligations under this Lease within the time periods (excluding grace periods) required for such performance, no election by Tenants trustee or the debtor-in-possession to assume this Lease, whether under Chapter 7 or Chapter 11, shall be permitted or effective unless each of the following conditions has been satisfied:
(1) Tenants trustee or the debtor-in possession has cured all Events of Default under this Lease, or has provided Landlord with Assurance (as defined below) that it will cure all Events of Default susceptible of being cured by the payment of money within ten (10) days from the date of such assumption and that it will cure all other Events of Default under this Lease which are susceptible of being cured by the performance of any act promptly after the date of such assumption.
17
(2) Tenants trustee or the debtor-in-possession has compensated Landlord, or has provided Landlord with Assurance that within ten (10) days from the date of such assumption it will compensate Landlord, for any actual pecuniary loss incurred by Landlord arising from the default of Tenant, Tenants trustee, or the debtor-in-possession as indicated in any statement of actual pecuniary loss sent by Landlord to Tenants trustee or the debtor-in-possession.
(3) Tenants trustee or the debtor-in-possession has provided Landlord with Assurance of the future performance of each of the obligations of Tenant, Tenants trustee or the debtor-in-possession under this Lease, and, if Tenants trustee or the debtor-in-possession has provided such Assurance, Tenants trustee or the debtor-in-possession shall also (i) deposit with Landlord, as security for the timely payment of rent hereunder, an amount equal to one (1) installment of Rent (at the rate then payable) which shall be applied to installments of Rent in the inverse order in which such installments shall become due provided all the terms and provisions of this Lease shall have been complied with, and (ii) pay in advance to Landlord on the date each installment of Rent is payable a pro rata share of Tenants annual obligations for Additional Rent pursuant to this Lease, such that Landlord shall hold funds sufficient to satisfy all such obligations as they become due. The obligations imposed upon Tenants trustee or the debtor-in-possession by this Section shall continue with respect to Tenant or any assignee of this Lease after the completion of bankruptcy proceedings.
(4) The assumption of this Lease will not breach or cause a default under any provision of any other lease, mortgage, financing arrangement or other agreement by which Landlord is bound.
(ii) For purposes of this Section 13.6., Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Assurance shall mean no less than: Tenants trustee or the debtor-in-possession has and will continue to have sufficient unencumbered assets after the payment of all secured obligations and administrative expenses to assure Landlord that sufficient funds will be available to fulfill the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, and (x) there shall have been deposited with Landlord, or the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered an order segregating, sufficient cash payable to Landlord, and/or (y) Tenants trustee or the debtor-in-possession shall have granted a valid and perfected first lien and security interest and/or mortgage in property of Tenant, Tenants trustee or the debtor-in-possession, acceptable as to value and kind to Landlord, to secure to Landlord the obligation of Tenant, Tenants trustee or the debtor-in-possession to cure the Events of Default under this Lease, monetary and/or non-monetary, within the time periods set forth above.
(c) In the event that this Lease is assumed in accordance with Section 13.6. (b) and thereafter Tenant is liquidated or has filed against it (without dismissal within sixty (60) days thereafter) or files a subsequent petition under Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder by giving Tenant notice of its election to so terminate within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of any such event.
(d) If Tenants trustee or the debtor-in-possession has assumed this Lease pursuant to the terms and provisions of Section 13.6.(a) or Section 13.6.(b) for the purpose of assigning (or elects to assign) this Lease, this Lease may be so assigned only if the proposed
18
assignee (the Assignee) has provided adequate assurance of future performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant. Landlord shall be entitled to receive all cash proceeds of such assignment. As used herein adequate assurance of future performance shall mean no less than that each of the following conditions has been satisfied;
(i) the Assignee has furnished Landlord with either (1) (x) a copy of a credit rating of Assignee which Landlord reasonably determines to be sufficient to assure the future performance by Assignee of Tenants obligations under this Lease and (y) a current financial statement of Assignee audited by a certified public accountant indicating a net worth and working capital in amounts which Landlord reasonably determines to be sufficient to assure the future performance by Assignee of Tenants obligations under this Lease, or (ii) a guarantee or guarantees, in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, from one or more persons with a credit rating and net worth equal to or exceeding the credit rating and net worth of Tenant as of the date hereof.
(ii) Landlord has obtained all consents or waivers from others required under any lease, mortgage, financing arrangement or other agreement by which Landlord is bound to permit Landlord to consent to such assignment.
(e) when, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, Tenants trustee or the debtor-in-possession shall be obligated to pay reasonable use and occupancy charges for the use of the Premises, such charges shall not be less than the Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease.
(f) Neither the whole nor any portion of Tenants interest in this Lease or its estate in the Premises shall pass to any trustee, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, or any other person or entity, by operation of law or otherwise under the laws of any state having jurisdiction of the person or property of Tenant unless Landlord shall have consented to such transfer. No acceptance by Landlord of rent or any other payments from any such trustee, receiver, assignee, person or other entity shall be deemed to constitute such consent by Landlord nor shall it be deemed a waiver of Landlords right to terminate this Lease for any transfer of Tenants interest under this Lease without such consent.
(g) In the event of an assignment of Tenants interests pursuant to this Section 13.6., the right of Assignee to extend the term of this Lease for an extended term beyond the then term of this Lease shall be extinguished.
Section 13.7 Default by Landlord. If Landlord shall fail to perform any covenant or obligation required to be performed by Landlord under the terms of this Lease and such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord of written notice thereof from Tenant or if Landlord shall fail to pay any sums due to Tenant under this Lease on the date the same shall become due and payable hereunder, and such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord of written notice thereof from Tenant [unless such failure is of such a nature that it cannot be cured within said thirty (30) day period, in which event Landlord shall not be in default hereunder if it shall have commenced to cure said default within said thirty (30) day period and diligently prosecute said cure to completion], then Tenant may, as its sole remedy under this Lease, cure any covenant or obligation which Landlord has failed to perform, and any sums expended by Tenant in curing such failure shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant immediately upon demand, and shall bear interest at the Interest Rate from the date of demand; or (b) bring suit to recover from Landlord all sums due Tenant from Landlord together with interest at the Interest Rate.

MORTGAGES
Section 15.1. Subordination and Attornment. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any Mortgage that may hereafter be placed upon the Premises, or any part thereof, and to all amounts secured thereby, and to all renewals, replacements and extensions of any of the foregoing, except to the extent that any Mortgage provides otherwise, provided that any such mortgagee agrees in writing to not disturb Tenants occupancy and possession of the Premises, so long as Tenant is not then in default. Tenant further agrees that, in the event of a foreclosure of any Mortgage or of a conveyance in lieu thereof, it will attorn to the mortgagee or to the purchaser at any foreclosure sale, as the case may be, upon the condition that such mortgagee or purchaser shall agree in writing to recognize Tenant and this Lease, so long as Tenant is not then in default. Tenant agrees that such mortgagee or purchaser shall not be bound to recognize (i) Tenants payment of any Rent if paid more than one (1) month in advance or (ii) any amendment to this Lease without such mortgagees consent. Tenant shall at Landlords request execute such further instruments or assurances as any mortgagee or purchaser may request to evidence (i) the subordination of this Lease or to acknowledge the superiority of this Lease, as the case may be upon the condition that such mortgagee or purchaser shall agree in writing to recognize Tenant and this Lease and agree to a non-disturbance of the Tenant, (ii) Tenants attornment agreement, and/or (iii) the acknowledgment of the express obligations of Tenant to the Landlords Mortgagee that are provided for in this Lease. Prior to the Landlord entering into a Mortgage, Landlord shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to procure a subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement from Landlords Mortgagee in form and content reasonably acceptable to Tenant, pursuant to which such Mortgagee agrees that so long as there is not then a default by Tenant under this Lease which is not cured within the applicable cure period, Mortgagee shall not disturb Tenants use of the Premises if lender forecloses upon or otherwise takes possession of the Premises.
Section 15.2. No Personal Liability. In no event shall any Mortgagee of the Premises, or any part thereof, its nominee, or the purchaser at a foreclosure sale have any personal liability whatsoever for any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of Landlord hereunder or in connection herewith, or any liability for any security deposit or other sums deposited with Landlord, or for any previous prepayment of Rent to Landlord, unless actually received by such Mortgagee, nominee or purchaser.
20
Section 15.3. Notices to Mortgagee and Mortgagee Right to Cure. Provided Tenant receives written notice of the name and address of Landlords Mortgagee having an interest in the Premises, Tenant agrees that in the event of any default by Landlord hereunder, Tenant shall send written notice of the default to Landlords Mortgagee. Landlords Mortgagee shall have thirty (30) days after the written notice from Tenant is sent within which to cure the default, and if the default is not capable of being cured within the 30-day period, then Landlords Mortgagee shall have a reasonable time thereafter to effect such cure, provided that Landlords Mortgagee commences to cure the same within the initial 30-day period and diligently pursues such cure until completed. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall not have any right or remedy pursuant to this Lease or otherwise due to Landlords default unless Tenant shall have first given notice of the default to Landlords Mortgagee and unless Landlords Mortgagee shall have failed to cure the default within the time required by this Section 15.3.. Tenant will accept performance by Landlords Mortgagee of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Landlord contained in this Lease with the same effect as though performed by Landlord. Nothing in this Section 15.3. shall be construed to require Landlords Mortgagee to cure a default by Landlord.
Section 15.4. Foreclosure; Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure. The provisions of this Article XV shall apply in the event of a foreclosure of any Mortgage or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, notwithstanding the fact that the mortgagee thereunder may, directly or indirectly, own or have an interest in Landlord or an interest in the Premises in addition to its interest under such Mortgage.

It is the intention of the parties that any such statement may be relied upon by any auditors, accountants, lenders, prospective lenders, mortgagees or prospective mortgagees, or any prospective or subsequent purchaser or transferee of all or a part of Landlords interest in the Premises. In connection with the financing, sale or transfer of the Premises by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord whatever instruments may be required by Landlord for such purposes, or Tenant shall be in default under this Lease upon the expiration of such 15-day period.
Section 15.6. Mortgage and Other Obligations Binding on Tenant. Any and all obligations of and limitations on Landlord under any Mortgage on the Premises, or any part thereof, or any ground lease, including, without limitation, payment of property taxes and expense reimbursements, lien prohibitions, maintenance, repair, alterations, replacements and restoration obligations, required insurance coverages, and restrictions on use of insurance and condemnation proceeds, shall be binding on and be the responsibility of Tenant, subject to the provisions of this Lease. Landlord agrees that, if it grants or creates any mortgage, lien, or encumbrance (Encumbrances) upon the Premises, Landlords Mortgagee shall agree (a) to give Tenant the same notice, if any, given to Landlord of any default or acceleration of any obligation underlying any such Encumbrance or any sale in foreclosure of such Encumbrance, (b) to permit Tenant to cure any such default on Landlords behalf within any applicable cure period, in which event Landlord agrees to reimburse Tenant for any and all out-of-pocket costs and

Tenant shall be permitted to mortgage, pledge, grant or assign a security interest in its leasehold and contract rights hereunder. Landlord and Tenant shall not modify this Lease without the express prior written consent of the Landlords Mortgagee.

MASTER LEASE
THIS MASTER LEASE (the Lease) dated as of September 30, 2013, by and between DOC-GREYMARK HQ OKC MOB, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company (Landlord), and FOUNDATION SURGERY AFFILIATES, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (Tenant).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, Landlord is the owner of the Property (as defined in Section 1.2); and
WHEREAS, Tenant desires to lease from Landlord, and Landlord desires to lease to Tenant, the Premises (as defined in Section 1.2) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
LEASE OF PREMISES; POSSESSION
Section 1.1. Lease to Tenant. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, the Premises described in Section 1.2. below, for the Term provided for in Section 1.3. below, at the Rent provided for in Section 1.4. below, and under the other terms and conditions provided for in this Lease. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge that the Premises are encumbered by certain leases in effect as of the date hereof and that this Lease is intended to be a master lease of the Premises. Tenant further acknowledges that it has reviewed the existing leases and is fully aware of all the terms, conditions and provisions of such leases. To the extent that the Premises, or any parts thereof, are subject to existing leases, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that for purposes of this Lease, Tenants right to occupancy of those parts of the Premises that are so encumbered shall be subordinate to the rights of the tenants under the existing leases until such time as the existing leases expire or otherwise terminate. Tenant further agrees not to disturb the existing tenants, provided that such tenants are not in default under the terms of their leases. Upon expiration or termination of an existing lease, this Lease shall become the primary lease with respect to that part of the Premises previously encumbered by an existing lease. Furthermore, Tenant shall not enter into any new lease or sublease, or modify or extend any existing lease unless such new lease or sublease or modification or extension of any existing lease contains a provision that subordinates, without condition or exception, such new lease or sublease or modification or extension to the lien of any mortgage, now or hereinafter in effect, as well as this Lease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing subordination of Tenants right to occupancy with respect to those parts of the Premises currently encumbered by the aforementioned leases, Tenant shall be obligated to pay all Rent and perform all of the other obligations of Tenant as set forth in this Lease as if this Lease is the primary lease for all of the Premises. For purposes of this Lease, the existing leases shall be treated as subleases of this Lease between Tenant, as sublessor, and the existing tenants, as sublessees. Tenant, in addition to its obligations under this Lease, shall perform all of the obligations of the landlord under the existing leases and shall enforce all of the
3
obligations of the tenants under the existing leases. In connection therewith, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a revocable license to collect the rents and any other sums due under the existing leases.

Tenant shall immediately repay the same to Landlord, upon demand, together with all costs and expenses so incurred, together with a late charge thereon, all to the extent permitted by law, at the Interest Rate from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid or incurred by Landlord. The obligations of Tenant and rights of Landlord contained in this Article shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

Section 13.6. Bankruptcy of Tenant.
(a) In the event that Tenant shall become a debtor in a case filed under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code and Tenants trustee or Tenant shall elect to assume this Lease for the purpose of assigning the same or otherwise, such election and assignment may be made only if the provisions of Section 13.6. (b) and Section 13.6. (d) are satisfied as if the election to assume were made in a case filed under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. If Tenant or Tenants trustee shall fail to elect to assume this Lease within sixty (60) days after the filing of such petition or such additional time as provided by the court within such 60-day period, this Lease shall be deemed to have been rejected and immediately thereupon Landlord shall be entitled to possession of the Premises without further obligation to Tenant or Tenants trustee and this Lease upon the election of Landlord shall terminate, but Landlords right to be compensated for damages (including, without limitation, liquidated damages pursuant to any provision hereof) or the exercise of any other remedies in any such proceeding shall survive, whether or not this Lease shall be terminated.
(b) (i) In the event that Tenant shall become a debtor in a case filed under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, or in a case filed under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code which is transferred to Chapter 11, Tenants trustee or Tenant, as debtor-in-possession, must elect to assume this Lease within sixty (60) days from the date of the filing of the petition under Chapter 11 or the transfer thereto or such additional time as provided by the court or Tenants trustee or the debtor-in possession shall be deemed to have rejected this Lease. In the event that Tenant, Tenants trustee or the debtor-in-possession has failed to perform all of Tenants obligations under this Lease within the time periods (excluding grace periods) required for such performance, no election by Tenants trustee or the debtor-in-possession to assume this Lease, whether under Chapter 7 or Chapter 11, shall be permitted or effective unless each of the following conditions has been satisfied:
(1) Tenants trustee or the debtor-in possession has cured all Events of Default under this Lease, or has provided Landlord with Assurance (as defined below) that it will cure all Events of Default susceptible of being cured by the payment of money within ten (10) days from the date of such assumption and that it will cure all other Events of Default under this Lease which are susceptible of being cured by the performance of any act promptly after the date of such assumption.
(2) Tenants trustee or the debtor-in-possession has compensated Landlord, or has provided Landlord with Assurance that within ten (10) days from the date of such assumption it will compensate Landlord, for any actual pecuniary loss incurred by Landlord arising from the default of Tenant, Tenants trustee, or the debtor-in-possession as indicated in any statement of actual pecuniary loss sent by Landlord to Tenants trustee or the debtor-in-possession.
(3) Tenants trustee or the debtor-in-possession has provided Landlord with Assurance of the future performance of each of the obligations of Tenant, Tenants trustee or the debtor-in-possession under this Lease, and, if Tenants trustee or the debtor-in-possession has provided such Assurance, Tenants trustee or the debtor-in-possession shall also (i) deposit with Landlord, as security for the timely payment of rent hereunder, an amount equal to one (1) installment of Rent (at the rate then payable) which shall be applied to installments of Rent in the inverse order in which such installments shall become due provided all the terms and provisions of this Lease shall have been complied with, and (ii) pay in advance to Landlord on the date each installment of Rent is payable a pro rata share of Tenants annual obligations for Additional Rent pursuant to this Lease, such that Landlord shall hold funds sufficient to satisfy all such obligations as they become due. The obligations imposed upon Tenants trustee or the debtor-in-possession by this Section shall continue with respect to Tenant or any assignee of this Lease after the completion of bankruptcy proceedings.
17
(4) The assumption of this Lease will not breach or cause a default under any provision of any other lease, mortgage, financing arrangement or other agreement by which Landlord is bound.
(ii) For purposes of this Section 13.6. , Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Assurance shall mean no less than: Tenants trustee or the debtor-in-possession has and will continue to have sufficient unencumbered assets after the payment of all secured obligations and administrative expenses to assure Landlord that sufficient funds will be available to fulfill the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, and (x) there shall have been deposited with Landlord, or the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered an order segregating, sufficient cash payable to Landlord, and/or (y) Tenants trustee or the debtor-in-possession shall have granted a valid and perfected first lien and security interest and/or mortgage in property of Tenant, Tenants trustee or the debtor-in-possession, acceptable as to value and kind to Landlord, to secure to Landlord the obligation of Tenant, Tenants trustee or the debtor-in-possession to cure the Events of Default under this Lease, monetary and/or non-monetary, within the time periods set forth above.
(c) In the event that this Lease is assumed in accordance with Section 13.6. (b) and thereafter Tenant is liquidated or has filed against it (without dismissal within sixty (60) days thereafter) or files a subsequent petition under Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder by giving Tenant notice of its election to so terminate within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of any such event.
(d) If Tenants trustee or the debtor-in-possession has assumed this Lease pursuant to the terms and provisions of Section 13.6. (a) or Section 13.6. (b) for the purpose of assigning (or elects to assign) this Lease, this Lease may be so assigned only if the proposed assignee (the Assignee) has provided adequate assurance of future performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant. Landlord shall be entitled to receive all cash proceeds of such assignment. As used herein adequate assurance of future performance shall mean no less than that each of the following conditions has been satisfied;
(i) the Assignee has furnished Landlord with either (1) (x) a copy of a credit rating of Assignee which Landlord reasonably determines to be sufficient to assure the future performance by Assignee of Tenants obligations under this Lease and (y) a current financial statement of Assignee audited by a certified public accountant indicating a net worth and working capital in amounts which Landlord reasonably determines to be sufficient to assure the future performance by Assignee of Tenants obligations under this Lease, or (ii) a guarantee or guarantees, in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, from one or more persons with a credit rating and net worth equal to or exceeding the credit rating and net worth of Tenant as of the date hereof.
(ii) Landlord has obtained all consents or waivers from others required under any lease, mortgage, financing arrangement or other agreement by which Landlord is bound to permit Landlord to consent to such assignment.
(e) when, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, Tenants trustee or the debtor-in-possession shall be obligated to pay reasonable use and occupancy charges for the use of the Premises, such charges shall not be less than the Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease.
18
(f) Neither the whole nor any portion of Tenants interest in this Lease or its estate in the Premises shall pass to any trustee, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, or any other person or entity, by operation of law or otherwise under the laws of any state having jurisdiction of the person or property of Tenant unless Landlord shall have consented to such transfer. No acceptance by Landlord of rent or any other payments from any such trustee, receiver, assignee, person or other entity shall be deemed to constitute such consent by Landlord nor shall it be deemed a waiver of Landlords right to terminate this Lease for any transfer of Tenants interest under this Lease without such consent.
(g) In the event of an assignment of Tenants interests pursuant to this Section 13.6. , the right of Assignee to extend the term of this Lease for an extended term beyond the then term of this Lease shall be extinguished.
Section 13.7 Default by Landlord. If Landlord shall fail to perform any covenant or obligation required to be performed by Landlord under the terms of this Lease and such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord of written notice thereof from Tenant or if Landlord shall fail to pay any sums due to Tenant under this Lease on the date the same shall become due and payable hereunder, and such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord of written notice thereof from Tenant [unless such failure is of such a nature that it cannot be cured within said thirty (30) day period, in which event Landlord shall not be in default hereunder if it shall have commenced to cure said default within said thirty (30) day period and diligently prosecute said cure to completion], then Tenant may, as its sole remedy under this Lease, cure any covenant or obligation which Landlord has failed to perform, and any sums expended by Tenant in curing such failure shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant immediately upon demand, and shall bear interest at the Interest Rate from the date of demand; or (b) bring suit to recover from Landlord all sums due Tenant from Landlord together with interest at the Interest Rate.
ARTICLE XIV
HOLDING OVER IN POSSESSION

This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any Mortgage that may hereafter be placed upon the Premises, or any part thereof, and to all amounts secured thereby, and to all renewals, replacements and extensions of any of the foregoing, except to the extent that any Mortgage provides otherwise, provided that any such mortgagee agrees in writing to not disturb Tenants occupancy and possession of the Premises, so
19
long as Tenant is not then in default. Tenant further agrees that, in the event of a foreclosure of any Mortgage or of a conveyance in lieu thereof, it will attorn to the mortgagee or to the purchaser at any foreclosure sale, as the case may be, upon the condition that such mortgagee or purchaser shall agree in writing to recognize Tenant and this Lease, so long as Tenant is not then in default. Tenant agrees that such mortgagee or purchaser shall not be bound to recognize (i) Tenants payment of any Rent if paid more than one (1) month in advance or (ii) any amendment to this Lease without such mortgagees consent. Tenant shall at Landlords request execute such further instruments or assurances as any mortgagee or purchaser may request to evidence (i) the subordination of this Lease or to acknowledge the superiority of this Lease, as the case may be upon the condition that such mortgagee or purchaser shall agree in writing to recognize Tenant and this Lease and agree to a non-disturbance of the Tenant, (ii) Tenants attornment agreement, and/or (iii) the acknowledgment of the express obligations of Tenant to the Landlords Mortgagee that are provided for in this Lease. Prior to the Landlord entering into a Mortgage, Landlord shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to procure a subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement from Landlords Mortgagee in form and content reasonably acceptable to Tenant, pursuant to which such Mortgagee agrees that so long as there is not then a default by Tenant under this Lease which is not cured within the applicable cure period, Mortgagee shall not disturb Tenants use of the Premises if lender forecloses upon or otherwise takes possession of the Premises.
Section 15.2. No Personal Liability. In no event shall any Mortgagee of the Premises, or any part thereof, its nominee, or the purchaser at a foreclosure sale have any personal liability whatsoever for any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of Landlord hereunder or in connection herewith, or any liability for any security deposit or other sums deposited with Landlord, or for any previous prepayment of Rent to Landlord, unless actually received by such Mortgagee, nominee or purchaser.
Section 15.3. Notices to Mortgagee and Mortgagee Right to Cure. Provided Tenant receives written notice of the name and address of Landlords Mortgagee having an interest in the Premises, Tenant agrees that in the event of any default by Landlord hereunder, Tenant shall send written notice of the default to Landlords Mortgagee. Landlords Mortgagee shall have thirty (30) days after the written notice from Tenant is sent within which to cure the default, and if the default is not capable of being cured within the 30-day period, then Landlords Mortgagee shall have a reasonable time thereafter to effect such cure, provided that Landlords Mortgagee commences to cure the same within the initial 30-day period and diligently pursues such cure until completed. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall not have any right or remedy pursuant to this Lease or otherwise due to Landlords default unless Tenant shall have first given notice of the default to Landlords Mortgagee and unless Landlords Mortgagee shall have failed to cure the default within the time required by this Section 15.3. . Tenant will accept performance by Landlords Mortgagee of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Landlord contained in this Lease with the same effect as though performed by Landlord. Nothing in this Section 15.3. shall be construed to require Landlords Mortgagee to cure a default by Landlord.
Section 15.4. Foreclosure; Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure. The provisions of this Article XV shall apply in the event of a foreclosure of any Mortgage or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, notwithstanding the fact that the mortgagee thereunder may, directly or indirectly, own or have an interest in Landlord or an interest in the Premises in addition to its interest under such Mortgage.
20

In connection with the financing, sale or transfer of the Premises by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord whatever instruments may be required by Landlord for such purposes, or Tenant shall be in default under this Lease upon the expiration of such 15-day period.
Section 15.6. Mortgage and Other Obligations Binding on Tenant. Any and all obligations of and limitations on Landlord under any Mortgage on the Premises, or any part thereof, or any ground lease, including, without limitation, payment of property taxes and expense reimbursements, lien prohibitions, maintenance, repair, alterations, replacements and restoration obligations, required insurance coverages, and restrictions on use of insurance and condemnation proceeds, shall be binding on and be the responsibility of Tenant, subject to the provisions of this Lease. Landlord agrees that, if it grants or creates any mortgage, lien, or encumbrance (Encumbrances) upon the Premises, Landlords Mortgagee shall agree (a) to give Tenant the same notice, if any, given to Landlord of any default or acceleration of any obligation underlying any such Encumbrance or any sale in foreclosure of such Encumbrance, (b) to permit Tenant to cure any such default on Landlords behalf within any applicable cure period, in which event Landlord agrees to reimburse Tenant for any and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred to effect any such cure (including reasonable attorneys fees), (c) to permit Tenant to appear with its representatives and to bid at any foreclosure sale with respect to any such Encumbrance, provided that no Event of Default by Tenant exists under the Lease, (d) that, if subordination by Tenant is requested by Landlords Mortgagee, to enter into an agreement with Tenant containing the provisions described in Section 15.1. of this Lease. Tenant shall be permitted to mortgage, pledge, grant or assign a security interest in its leasehold and contract rights hereunder. Landlord and Tenant shall not modify this Lease without the express prior written consent of the Landlords Mortgagee.

LEASE AGREEMENT
THIS LEASE AGREEMENT (the Lease) is made effective the 1st day of December, 2005 (the Commencement Date), by and between Foundation Bariatric Real Estate of San Antonio, L.P., an Texas limited liability company (Lessor), and Foundation Bariatric Hospital of San Antonio, L.P., a Texas limited partnership (Lessee).
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Lessor is the owner of certain real property located at 9550 Huebner Rd., San Antonio, Texas 78240, legally described at Exhibit A, attached as a part hereof together with the improvements located thereon consisting of a building, parking, walkways and related facilities (sometimes referred to herein as the Property or the Leased Premises); and,
WHEREAS, the parties desire that the Lessor lease the entire Property to the Lessee, all in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the rents, covenants, and agreements herein contained, the parties agree as follows:
1. Lease. The Lessor does hereby demise and lease to the Lessee, and the Lessee does hereby rent from the Lessor the Leased Premises, together with all rights, easements, entrances, exits, approaches and appurtenances relating thereto and the right to use in common with the Lessor the parking, driveway and walkway facilities located thereon.
2. Term. The initial term of this Lease shall be for a period of fifteen (15) years commencing on the Commencement Date (the Initial Term).
3. Renewal Options. Provided the Lessee shall not then be in default of its obligations under this Lease, the Lessee shall have the continuing right and option to extend the term of this Lease beyond the Initial Term for two (2) additional successive periods of five (5) years each (each a Renewal Term) on the same terms as contained in this Lease except for the amount of Rent payable hereunder as stated in paragraph 4 hereof, and provided that the Lessee shall have no option to extend the term of this Lease beyond the last of the above-stated Renewal Terms. The Lessee will be deemed to have exercised the foregoing option to extend the term of this Lease for each Renewal Term unless it serves written notice on the Lessor that the Lease term not be so extended on or before one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the commencement date of such Renewal Term.
4. Rent. During the Initial Term of this Lease, the Lessee covenants and agrees to pay to Lessor Rent for the Leased Premises on the first day of each calendar month in advance during the term hereof (prorated in the case of the first and last months if less than a full calendar month). Rent shall be the amount of Base Rent for the initial term of this Lease as set forth on Schedule 4 hereto, plus all other amounts due under this Lease. If the Lessee exercises its right to extend the term of this Lease, the Base Rent for each month of the first Renewal Term will equal one hundred five percent (105%) of the monthly Base Rent during the Initial Term of the Lease, and monthly Base Rent for the second Renewal Term shall equal one hundred five percent (105%) of the monthly Base Rent during the first Renewal Term.
1
5. Absolute Net Lease. This Lease is an absolute net lease, and Base Rent and all other sums payable hereunder shall be paid without notice, demand, counterclaim, setoff, deduction, abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution or reduction. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, the Lessee shall at all times remain bound by this Lease and shall at all times remain obligated to pay the stated rentals and all other sums required by this Lease. The Lessee expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Lessor is not obligated to perform any services of any nature with respect to the Leased Premises after the Commencement Date except as may be specifically provided in this Lease.
6. Leased Premises Use. Lessee may use the Leased Premises only as a health care facility, including but not limited to a hospital, and for purposes related thereto. The Lessee agrees not to use the Leased Premises for any illegal purpose.
7. Lessees Maintenance. After the Commencement Date, the Lessee, at its expense, will keep the Leased Premises and all improvements located thereon in a good and clean condition and state of repair, subject to ordinary wear and tear and casualty loss, and will promptly, at its own expense, make all necessary or appropriate repairs, replacements and renewals thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lessee acknowledges that Lessees obligations under this paragraph include the maintenance, repair and replacement of plumbing, electrical components, doors, windows, HVAC systems, and interior walls on or serving the Leased Premises. The Lessor shall have no obligation to repair or maintain the Leased Premises or any portion or component thereof. All repairs, replacements and renewals made by the Lessee shall be at least equal in quality, utility and class to the original condition of the Leased Premises on the Commencement Date. The Lessee further covenants and agrees that the Lessee will not commit or suffer to be committed any waste of the Leased Premises. At the expiration of the Lease term, the Lessee will remove all of its equipment, trade fixtures, furniture and personal property placed by it in the Leased Premises (but excluding all tenant improvements which, on installation, shall become part of the Property of the Lessor), immediately repair any damage caused by the removal thereof, and will surrender the Leased Premises in as good order as the same is on the Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear and casualty loss excepted.
8. Inspection; Right to Perform. The Lessor and its authorized representatives may enter upon the Leased Premises at all reasonable times (after advance notice and scheduling to avoid interference with Lessees business thereon) for the purpose of inspecting the same to determine whether the Lessee has performed its covenants and agreements under paragraph 7 of this Lease or for the purpose of doing any work pursuant to this paragraph and taking all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate for any such purpose (but nothing herein contained shall create or imply any duty on the part of Lessor to do any such work). If any such inspection reveals that the Lessee has not fully performed its covenants and agreements under paragraph 7 hereof, the Lessor will give written notice thereof to the Lessee, and if the Lessee does not undertake performance of such covenant or agreement within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice and diligently proceed to perform the same, the Lessor, without waiving or releasing
2
any obligation or default of Lessee, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter perform such covenant or agreement for the account of and at the expense of the Lessee and take all such action as, in the reasonable opinion of the Lessor, may be necessary or appropriate therefore. No such entry by the Lessor or its authorized representatives for such purposes shall constitute an eviction of the Lessee. All reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys fees and expenses) incurred by the Lessor in connection with the performance by Lessor of any such covenant or agreement of Lessee shall constitute additional rent hereunder and will be paid by the Lessee within twenty (20) days after the Lessors written demand therefor.
9. Lessees Maintenance. The Lessee agrees to maintain in good condition the driveways, walkways, parking areas and landscaping located on the Property, as well as the structural components of the building including the roof, load-bearing walls and foundation.
10. Utilities. The Lessee will pay for all charges for water, sewerage, telephone, electricity, gas, trash collection and other utilities serving the Leased Premises and the Lessee will not permit any lien to be filed against the Lessor by reason of such charges.
11. Lessors Insurance. Commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing for the remaining term of this Lease, the Lessor, at the cost and expense of the Lessee, shall provide, maintain and keep in force the following policies of insurance covering the Leased Premises:
a. | Insurance to cover loss or damage by fire, vandalism and malicious mischief, extended coverage perils commonly known as All Risk and all physical loss perils, including but not limited to sprinkler leakage, in an amount not less than 100% of the actual replacement cost thereof from time to time; |
b. | Insurance for loss of rental under a rental value insurance policy covering risk of loss during the first twelve months of reconstruction necessitated by the occurrence of any of the hazards described herein; and, |
c. | Such other insurance as may be reasonably required by the Lessor or its lender on the Project, including flood insurance if the Leased Premises is in an area identified as a special flood hazard area pursuant to the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 as amended, earthquake insurance and such other insurance as is commonly obtained by prudent owners of property similar in use to and in the same area of the Leased Premises. |
At the time premiums for such policies of insurance are due, the Lessor will submit to the Lessee a copy of the invoice thereof and a certificate of insurance showing the type and amount covered by such invoice, and the Lessee will pay the amount of such invoice to the Lessor within twenty (20) days after receipt thereof. If Lessors lender shall require that anticipated annual premiums for any policies of insurance required by this Lease be paid to such lender to be held in escrow until payment of such premiums, then Lessee will pay Lessor the amount of such estimated premiums on a monthly basis at the time of and in addition to each installment of Base Rent due
3
hereunder and, in the event such payments are not sufficient to pay in full such premiums as the same come due, Lessee shall also pay to the Lessor the shortage thereof within twenty (20) days after Lessors written request therefore. In the event of monthly payments of estimated premiums, the Lessor will annually during the term of this Lease provide the Lessee with an accounting of such payments made, premiums paid and the type and amount of insurance purchased thereby.
12. Lessees Insurance. Commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing for the remaining term of this Lease, the Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall provide, maintain and keep in force the following policies of insurance:
a. | Comprehensive general liability insurance on an occurrence basis against claims for personal injury including, without limitation, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring on, in or about the Leased Premises and the adjoining streets, sidewalks and passageways, providing coverage of not less than $1,000,000.00 with respect to personal injury or death to any one or more persons or damage to property. Such policy of liability insurance shall name the Lessor and the Lessee as insureds thereunder and will provide that no cancellation thereof or reduction in coverage will be effective except on at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Lessor. On the Commencement Date and at least ten (10) days prior to each renewal of such policy of liability insurance, the Lessee will deliver to the Lessor a copy of such policy or a certificate evidencing such renewal, together with evidence of the payment of the premium therefore; and, |
b. | Such additional insurance of the types and amounts as determined by the Lessee, including casualty insurance covering Lessees furniture, equipment and other property located in the Leased Premises, it being understood that the Lessor will not carry any insurance on property of the Lessee or others located in the Leased Premises, and the Lessor shall not be liable for the theft or misappropriation thereof or for any damages or injury thereto. |
13. Waiver of Subrogation. The Lessor and the Lessee expressly waive each in favor of the other all rights of recovery that either of them might have against the other for any and all liability and expense for loss, damage or destruction of property resulting from perils ordinarily covered by standard policies of fire and extended coverage insurance and originating from any cause whatsoever, including negligent acts or omissions of the parties, their agents or employees, so long as such waiver is available under standard forms of insurance coverage.
14. Taxes. The Lessor will pay when due all real estate taxes and assessments coming due on the Property during the term of this Lease and the Lessee will pay to Lessor all such taxes. If at any time during the term of this Lease, Lessors lender on the Property shall require that anticipated real estate taxes be paid to such lender to be held in escrow until payment thereof, then Lessee will pay Lessor the Lessees share of such estimated taxes (as determined above) on a monthly basis at the time of and in addition to each installment of Base Rent due hereunder and, in the event such payments are not sufficient to pay in full such taxes as the same come due,
4
Lessee shall also pay to Lessor the shortage thereof within twenty (20) days after demand therefore. The Lessee also agrees to pay, promptly as and when the same shall become due and payable, and to hold Lessor harmless therefrom, all taxes and assessments, other than real estate taxes, of every character that may be assessed, levied, confirmed or imposed on or in respect of or be a lien upon (a) the Leased Premises or any part thereof or any rent therefrom or any right or interest therein, or (b) any acquisition, occupancy, use, leasing or possession of or activity conducted on the Leased Premises or any part thereof or any gross receipts thereof or of the rent therefrom; provided that, the Lessee shall not be required to pay any income, profits or revenue tax upon the net income of the Lessor, nor any franchise, excise, corporate, estate, inheritance, succession, capital levy or transfer tax of Lessor.
15. Damage or Destruction. The parties agree that if, at any time during the primary or any renewal term of this Lease, the Leased Premises or any part thereof are partially or totally destroyed by fire or other casualty and the same can be repaired or restored within one hundred twenty (120) days from the occurrence of such damage, then the Lessor will undertake repair and restoration of the Leased Premises at its cost with due diligence and return the Leased Premises to at least as good a condition as existed prior to such damage or destruction within such one hundred twenty (120) day period.
a. | Major Damage or Destruction. If, at any time during the primary or any renewal term of this Lease, the Leased Premises or any part thereof are partially or totally destroyed by fire or other casualty and the same cannot reasonably be repaired or restored within one hundred twenty (120) days from the occurrence of such damage, then the Lessor and the Lessee shall each have the option to terminate and cancel this Lease effective the date of such casualty by giving written notice of such cancellation to the other party within thirty (30) days after the happening of such damage. In the event neither party so elects to terminate this Lease, then such repairs will be made with due diligence by and at the cost of the Lessor to at least as good as condition as existed prior to such damage or destruction. |
b. | Rent Abatement. All Base Rent and other sums payable hereunder shall be abated during the period the Leased Premises are damaged and untenantable. |
c. | Lessees Improvements. Unless this Lease is canceled and terminated in accordance with the foregoing provisions, repair or replacement of the improvements or property of the Lessee on the Leased Premises shall be the obligation of and at the cost of the Lessee, provided that Lessor will make available to Lessee any insurance proceeds received by Lessor which are specifically designated as payment for damage or destruction of such improvements or property which Lessee is obligated herein to repair or replace. |
16. Eminent Domain. In the event all or any significant portion of the Building or any portion of the Leased Premises which is reasonably necessary to provide access to or parking for such Building shall be taken by any public or quasi-public authority under the power of eminent domain, then Lessor and Lessee shall each have the option to terminate this Lease by giving written notice of such termination to the other within ninety (90) days after receipt of notice of such taking. If either Lessor or Lessee elects to terminate, then this Lease shall terminate on the
5
day title is transferred to such authority and rent shall be paid up to that date. In the event neither shall elect to terminate this Lease, Lessor will diligently undertake repair, restoration or modification of the Leased Premises required as a result of such taking and the Base Rent payable hereunder will be abated and/or adjusted in an equitable manner to reflect any diminished value (either temporary or permanent) of the Leased Premises as a result of such taking. The Lessor hereby reserves to itself all rights to receive all condemnation awards for the taking of all or any portion of the Leased Premises, and the Lessee hereby waives and releases to the Lessor all of the Lessees rights to such awards. However, nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit the Lessee from seeking a separate award for its damages arising from such condemnation.
17. Hazardous Substances. Lessee agrees that it will not dispose of or otherwise release any Hazardous Substances (as hereinafter defined) on or about the Leased Premises during the term of this Lease except as permitted by regulations for hospitals and healthcare facilities. In the event any Hazardous Substances shall be disposed of or otherwise released on or about the Leased Premises by Lessee, its employees or agents, then Lessee, at its cost, will promptly take such action as may be required by law to remove and abate such Hazardous Substances from the Leased Premises, and Lessee agrees to indemnify and hold the Lessor harmless therefrom. As used herein, the term Hazardous Substances shall have the meaning specified in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, as the same may be amended from time to time.
18. Lessees Default. If (i) the Lessee defaults in the payment of any rent or other amounts due under the Lease and such default continues for ten (10) days after the Lessees receipt of written notice of such default, or (ii) the Lessee defaults in performance or observance of any of its covenants or obligations provided herein other than payment of rent and fails to remedy the same within thirty (30) days after the Lessees receipt of written notice of such default, or if such default is of the type that cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, the Lessee shall not have commenced to cure such default within such thirty (30) day period and diligently proceed to cure the same; then, in any of such events, the Lessor shall be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies afforded the Lessor in the State where the Leased Premises are located arising from such default. Without limiting the foregoing, the Lessor may, at the Lessors option, terminate this Lease or may, without such termination, enter into the Leased Premises, remove the Lessees property therefrom, and relet the Leased Premises, but in the event of Lessors re-entry, such re-entry shall not work a forfeiture of the rents to be paid and the covenants to be performed by the Lessee during the full term of this Lease. The mention herein of any particular remedy shall not preclude the Lessor from any other remedy which the Lessor might have, either in law or in equity, nor shall consent to one act which would otherwise be a violation of a covenant or condition of this Lease prevent a subsequent violation from having all the force and effect of an original violation.
19. Lessors Default. If the Lessor fails to perform any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation imposed upon it in this Lease, and fails to remedy the same within thirty (30) days after notice thereof by the Lessee to the Lessor, or if such default is of the type that cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, the Lessor shall not have commenced to cure such default within such thirty (30) day period and diligently proceed to cure the same, then the
6
Lessee may undertake to perform such covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation of and on behalf of the Lessor, and if the Lessor does not pay to the Lessee the reasonable cost thereof within ten (10) days after receipt of a statement therefor, the Lessee may recover from the Lessor the cost of such performance by Lessee.
20. Alterations. The Lessee will not make any alterations or additions to the exterior of the building, make any structural changes to the building, or otherwise make any such changes whatsoever to the Property without first obtaining the Lessors written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. The Lessee agrees that the Lessee will not allow or permit any mechanics, materialmens or laborers liens to attach to the Property as a result of any such work by the Lessee, and agrees to hold the Lessor harmless therefrom. If any such lien shall be filed, the Lessee shall cause the same to be removed within fifteen (15) days thereafter by payment of the underlying claim or the posting of a bond or bonds in the manner provided by the law of the State where the Property is located. All such alterations and additions, excepting only trade fixtures, equipment and merchandise of the Lessee, shall be and become part of the Building and shall not be removed by the Lessee on termination of this Lease.
21. Subordination. At the option of the Lessor, this Lease will be subject and subordinate to any existing or future mortgage or ground lease covering the Property, provided that any such mortgage or ground lease or a separate agreement shall contain a provision whereby the mortgagee or ground lessor agrees not to disturb the possession of the Lessee, nor to terminate any interest or right of the Lessee created by this Lease by foreclosure or otherwise so long as the Lessee shall not be in default under any provision of this Lease. From time to time, within twenty (20) days after request by the Lessor, the Lessee will execute and deliver to Lessor or the holder of a mortgage encumbering the Leased Premises a Subordination, Attornment and Nondisturbance Agreement and/or an Estoppel Certificate in reasonable form setting forth the agreements contained in this paragraph and/or the current status of this Lease. The word mortgage, when used herein, includes mortgages, deeds of trust or other similar instruments used in connection with obtaining financing.
22. Lessors Warranties. The Lessor warrants it is the owner of merchantable title to the Property (subject to easements, restrictions and mineral interests previously reserved or conveyed of record) and has full right and authority to execute this Lease. The Lessor covenants that the Lessor will warrant and forever defend the rights of the Lessee to possession and quiet enjoyment of the Leased Premises against all persons whomsoever so long as the Lessee shall observe the terms of this Lease.
23. Indemnification. The Lessee shall indemnify and save harmless the Lessor from all loss, cost, damage, expense and attorneys fees which the Lessor might sustain or incur on account of any claim, demand, lien or suit of any person or persons by reason of the operation and conduct of the business of the Lessee on the Leased Premises or on account of any condition existing on the Leased Premises under the control of the Lessee.
24. Holding Over. In the event the Lessee remains in possession of the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, after the expiration of the term of this Lease, the Lessee shall be deemed to be occupying the Leased Premises as a Lessee from month to month, otherwise subject to all conditions, provisions and obligations of this Lease insofar as the same are applicable to a month-to-month tenancy.
7
25. Entry; Signs. The Lessor and its authorized representatives may enter upon the Leased Premises at all reasonable times (after advance notice and scheduling to avoid interference with Lessees business thereon) for the purpose of exhibiting the Leased Premises for the purpose of sale, mortgage or other financing thereof. No signs advertising the sale or lease of the Leased Premises will be placed on the Leased Premises except during the last one hundred twenty (120) days of the term of this Lease, if the same has not been extended as herein provided.
26. Interest. Any amount not paid within ten (10) days after the date that it is due under the terms of this Lease will bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum until the same is paid in full.
27. Attorneys Fees. In any action brought to enforce or defend any rights or obligations under this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to its fees and costs, including reasonable attorneys fees, in addition to other relief awarded.
28. Assignment and Subletting. The Lessee shall not assign this Lease or sublease the Leased Premises or any part thereof without the prior written consent of the Lessor, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
29. Notices. Any bill, statement, notice or other communication to be rendered by the Lessor or Lessee, shall be deemed sufficiently given if the same be in writing and personally delivered, sent by overnight courier, or mailed by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the other party at its address at the Property and by delivering a copy of each such notice to Foundation Management Affiliates, L.P., 13900 North Portland Ave., Suite 200, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, 73134-4005.
30. Binding Effect. This Lease constitutes the entire agreement between the parties on the subject matter hereof and may not be changed, modified, amended or supplemented except in writing, signed by both of the parties. All oral or other written agreements, promises and arrangements in relation to the subject matter of this Lease Agreement are hereby rescinded. This Lease will be binding on each of the parties and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assigns. If any part of this Lease is held to be unenforceable, the balance will nevertheless be effective and enforceable.
31. Time. Time is of the essence with regard to this Lease and of all provisions hereof.
32. Construction. This Lease shall be construed, enforced and governed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas. The descriptive headings contained in this Lease are for convenience only and are not intended to define the subject matter or the provisions of this Lease and are not to be used for interpretation thereof.

8
appropriate governmental agency in the county where the Leased Premises are located. In addition thereto, Lessor may record with the county clerk for Bexar County, Texas, a memorandum of lease setting forth the name and address of the Lessee, the address and legal description of the Leased Premises, and the term and expiration date of the Initial Term and any renewal terms.

Landlord and Tenant each waive any and all rights to recover against the other, or against the officers, directors, shareholders, partners, joint venturers, employees, agents, customers, invitees, or business visitors of such other party or of such other Tenant, for any loss or damage to such waiving party arising from any cause covered by any property insurance required to be carried by such party pursuant to this Lease or any other property insurance actually carried by such party to the extent of the limits of such policy. Landlord and Tenant from time to time will cause their respective insurers to issue appropriate waiver of subrogation rights endorsements to all property insurance policies carried in connection with the Premises.
11. | Compliance With Laws |
Tenant acknowledges that no trade or occupation shall be conducted in the Premises or use made thereof which will be unlawful, improper, excessively noisy or offensive, or contrary to any law or any municipal by-law or ordinance in force in the state, city or town in which the Premises are situated.
A. | Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord of any written notice it receives of the violation of any law or requirement of public authority, and at its own expense shall comply with all laws and requirements of public authorities which shall, with respect to the conduct of Tenants business in the Premises, or the abatement of any nuisance, impose any obligation, order or duty on Landlord or Tenant arising from (i) Tenants use of the Premises, (ii) Tenants conduct of its business or operation of its installations, equipment or other property, (iii) any cause or condition created by or at the instance of Tenant, other than by Landlords performance of any work for or on behalf of Tenant, or (iv) Tenants breach of its obligations under this Lease. Tenant, however, shall not be so required to make any structural or other substantial change in the Premises. Furthermore, Tenant need not comply with any such law or requirement of public authority so long as Tenant shall be contesting the validity thereof or the applicability thereof to the Premises, in accordance with subdivision B of this paragraph. |
B. | Tenant may, at its expense (and if necessary in the name of, but without expense to, Landlord) contest, by appropriate proceedings prosecuted diligently and in good faith, the validity, or applicability to the Premises, of any law or requirement of public authority and Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in such proceedings, provided that: |
(i) | Landlord shall not be subject to any fine or criminal penalty or to prosecution for a crime nor shall the Premises or any part thereof be subject to being condemned or vacated, by reason of noncompliance or otherwise by reason of such contest. |
(ii) | Tenant shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Landlord against all liability, loss or damage which Landlord shall suffer by reason of such noncompliance or contest, including reasonable attorneys fees and other expenses reasonably incurred by Landlord. |
7
(iii) | Tenant shall keep Landlord advised as to the status of such proceedings. |
12. | Casualty Loss |
In the event that the Premises or any part of the Project is damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall forthwith proceed to repair and restore the Premises or cause the Association to repair and restore the Premises or Project to the condition existing prior to the damage, subject to the terms and conditions of the Declaration, including the required payment of any insurance proceeds, which shall take precedence with regards to Landlords obligation to repair or restore the Premises under this Paragraph 12. Tenants rent shall be abated in just proportion during the period of impaired use of the Premises. If more than fifty percent (50%) of the inside space of the Premises or the limited common elements related to the Premises are so damaged, either Landlord or Tenant may cancel this Lease on thirty (30) days notice and rent shall be apportioned as of the date of the casualty. If a registered engineer or architect jointly acceptable to Landlord and Tenant shall notify them within thirty (30) days after such fire or casualty that, in his/her opinion, the damage to the Premises or the limited common elements related to the Premises cannot be repaired so as to substantially restore the Premises to its former condition within one hundred eighty (180) days after such fire or casualty or if the Premises and the limited common elements related to the Premises are in fact not restored to substantially the same condition as existed prior to such fire or casualty within one hundred eighty (180) days after such occurrence, then this Lease may be terminated by either Landlord or Tenant and rent shall be apportioned as of the termination date
13. | Condemnation |
In the event the Premises or the limited common elements related to the Premises shall be taken for public use by the city, state, federal government, public authority or other corporation having the power of eminent domain, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date on which possession thereof shall be taken for such public use or, at the option of Tenant, as of the date on which the Premises shall become unsuitable for Tenants regular business by reason of such taking; provided, however, that if only a part of the Premises or any material portion of the common elements of the Project or limited common elements allocated to the Premises, such termination shall be at the option of Tenant only. If such a taking occurs, and Tenant elects not to terminate this Lease, there shall be a proportionate reduction of the rent to be paid under this Lease from and after the date such possession is taken for public use, but Landlord shall have no requirement to construct any additional improvements on or to its Premises. Tenant shall have not have the right to participate, directly or indirectly, in any award for such public taking on account of such public taking.
14. | Default |
A. | The following events shall be deemed to be events of default by Tenant under this Lease. |
(1) | Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of the Rent herein when due, or any other payment or reimbursement to Landlord required herein when due, and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) days from the date written notice of such non-payment is delivered by Landlord to Tenant. |
8
(2) | Tenant shall become insolvent, or shall make a transfer in fraud of creditors, or shall make and assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall permit the Premises or the leasehold estate created hereby to be taken on execution or other process of law in any action against Tenant. |
(3) | Tenant shall file a petition, or a petition is filed against Tenant, under any section or chapter of the United States Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code), as amended, or under any similar law or statute of the United States or any State thereof, or Tenant shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent in proceedings filed against Tenant thereof. |
(4) | A receiver or trustee shall be appointed for all or substantially all of the assets of the Tenant. |
(5) | Tenant shall fail to take occupancy of the Premises within a reasonable time after the Commencement Date. |
(6) | Tenant shall fail to comply with any term, provision or covenant of the Lease (other than any monetary payment obligation, which shall be subject to the cure period set forth in 14.A(1) above), and shall not cure such failure within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to Tenant provided; however, that if the nature of the default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within such period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if within such period Tenant shall commence such cure and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion, but in no event shall the Tenant have longer than ninety (90) days to cure such failure. |
B. | Upon the occurrence of any of such events of default described in Paragraph 14(A) hereof, and after any applicable cure period, Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity in connection with such event of default, including the right to terminate Tenants right of possession, and to re-let the Premises and receive the rent therefor on Tenants account, which rent Landlord shall first apply to any and all expenses it incurred in so re-letting the Premises and then to the satisfaction of Tenants obligations hereunder, and Tenant agrees to pay to the Landlord on demand any deficiency between the rental received from subletting (after first covering Landlords expenses of re-letting) and the Rental reserved hereunder. Upon the occurrence of any event of default, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages. |

If Tenant fails to pay any installment of Rent hereunder within ten (10) days of the date when such installment is due, to help defray the additional cost to Landlord for processing such late payments, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand a late charge in the amount of $3,000; and the failure to pay such amount within five (5) days after Tenants receipt of written demand therefor shall be an event of default hereunder. The provision for such late charge shall be in addition to all of Landlords other rights and remedies hereunder or at law and shall not be construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Landlords remedies in any manner.
All rights and remedies of Landlord herein existing at law or in equity are cumulative and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not be taken to exclude or waive the right to the exercise any other. No act or thing done by the Landlord or its agents during the term hereby granted shall be deemed a termination of this Lease or an acceptance of the surrender of the Premises, and no agreements to terminate this lease or accept a surrender of said Premises shall be valid unless such agreement is in writing and signed by Landlord. No waiver by Landlord or Tenant, of any violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein, contained shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other violation or breach of any of the items, provision and covenants herein contained.

(b) | any parent, subsidiary, successor, or wholly-owned affiliate entity of Tenant; |
(c) | any entity which acquires all or substantially all of the assets or ownership interests of Tenant; |
10
(d) | any partnership, the majority interest of which shall be owned by Tenant or a parent, subsidiary, successor or wholly-owned affiliate entity of Tenant; or |
(e) | any purchaser of substantially all of the assets of Tenant in the Premises; |
provided that any such assignee or successor shall agree in writing to assume and perform all of the terms and conditions of this Lease on Tenants part to be performed from and after the effective date of such assignment or subletting. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Landlord may assign this Lease without the consent of Tenant.
17. | Holding Over |
If Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant shall remain in possession of the Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of the term of this Lease without any agreement in writing between the Landlord and Tenant with respect thereto, the person remaining in possession shall be deemed a month-to-month tenant at a rental rate equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent in effect upon the date of such expiration or termination until the tenancy is terminated in a manner provided by law.

Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such successor landlord may reasonably request (1) evidencing such attornment; and (2) setting forth the terms and conditions of Tenants tenancy. Upon such attornment, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between such successor landlord and Tenant on all of the terms, conditions, and covenants set forth in this Lease, except that such successor landlord shall not be (1) liable for any act or omission of Landlord, or required to cure any default of Landlord, except to the extent: (a) such act or omission constitutes a nonmonetary default of Landlord; (b) such act or omission continues beyond the date when such successor landlord succeeds to Landlords interest; and (c) Tenant shall have given prompt written notice of such act or omission to Mortgagee, with an opportunity to cure the same, in accordance with the terms hereof; (2) subject to any offsets, defenses, claims, counterclaims, offsets, or setoffs that Tenant may have against Landlord; (3) bound by any Rent that Tenant may have paid more than one month in advance; (4) liable for any security or other deposit, or surrender of any letter of credit, whether or not still held by Landlord, unless such security or other deposit was actually received by Mortgagee or such successor landlord, and in the event of receipt of any such security deposit, Mortgagees or such successor landlords obligations with respect thereto shall be limited to the amount of such security deposit actually received by Mortgagee or such successor landlord, and Mortgagee or such successor landlord shall be entitled to all rights, privileges, and benefits of Landlord set forth in this Lease with respect thereto; (5) bound by any agreement between Landlord and Tenant not expressly set forth in this Lease (or any exhibit thereto), as amended (subject to Mortgagees right to consent thereto); (6) bound by any agreement, amendment, extension, modification, cancellation, or termination of this Lease that was made without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, which consent may be withheld, conditioned, or delayed for any reason, in the sole discretion of Mortgagee; (7) liable to Tenant under this Lease or otherwise from and after such time as Mortgagee or such successor landlord ceases to be the owner of the Property; or (8) bound by, or liable for any breach of, any representation or warranty or indemnity agreement of any kind contained in this Lease or otherwise made by Landlord.

RISK FACTORS
PRIOR TO MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION, PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER, ALONG WITH ALL OF THE OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS CONFIDENTIAL PRIVATE PLACEMENT MEMORANDUM, THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS ATTENDANT TO THAT INVESTMENT, AND SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN LEGAL AND FINANCIAL ADVISORS WITH RESPECT THERETO:
Risk Factors
Investing in privately issued securities is highly speculative. You should not consider an investment in the Units unless you or your investment advisor/purchaser representative are familiar with the risks associated with this investment and are capable of evaluating the merits of this investment. Additionally, the financial projections and certain other information contained herein are forward-looking statements and may not be representative of the actual results of an investment in the Units. All financial projections are inherently speculative. To the extent any of these assumptions prove to be incorrect, the actual financial results of the Company (or of its investments), and the results of investing in the Units are likely to differ materially from the results projected herein. Investors are encouraged to ask any questions and review any documents, or to have their investment, tax or legal counsel do so on their behalf, prior to making an investment in the Units.
Risk Associated With Operating History
The Company was formed in 2013 to acquire the TSH Preferred. While the Managers have extensive operating histories, the Company itself has no operating history.
Limited Capitalization; Further Borrowing
Although the Company has made a good faith effort to provide for reasonably anticipated problems and expenses in the development of its investment plan, there remains a risk that occurrences neither foreseen nor foreseeable could seriously increase the Companys need for capital. There is an assessment provision in the Companys Operating Agreement to provide for those eventualities, and the burden of such events would require either additional borrowing by the Company or the raising of additional capital from the members of the Company. While the Managers believe that adequate reserves and contingency strategies exist, and that this risk is unlikely in the present economy, the Company may not have revenues or borrowings available and therefore may have additional capital required from the Members of the Company. All investments of this type are to one or another extent speculative and subject to market fluctuation. There is no agreement in place with the Company and Graymark or the Company and FHA that would limit the right to or prohibit either FHA, Graymark or TSH from issuing additional preferred membership interests in other subsidiaries.
Skill of Management
The success of the Company depends on the skills and abilities of several key principals of the Managers, particularly Stanton Nelson and Michael Horrell. If these individuals were to cease to be involved with the Company for any reason (including, but not limited to, death or termination of employment), the success of the Company would depend in part on the ability of the Company to engage new people of at least equivalent skill. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to replace any departed principal of the Managers.
5
Concentration of Control
Following the completion of this Offering, the Manager will remain in absolute control of the Company. The Manager, by and through their officers and members, exercise virtually total control over all aspects of the Companys business operations and procedures. This means that purchasers of the Units will invest subject to the risks associated with not having control of the Company. The Manager of the Company has complete discretion concerning all aspects of the Company. The Manager will continue to follow accepted business procedures and use its best efforts to implement this business plan. However, the Manager retains discretion to modify this business plan within broad guidelines should business conditions or opportunities dictate. Further, there is the possibility that unexpected negative events concerning either TSH Preferred, Graymark, Foundation or the economy in general would alter investment conditions to the extent that additional capital might be required from the members or that to the extent that dilution of existing investors might be required in order to raise necessary capital. While the Manager has the right to loan additional capital to the Company, the Manager may not be in a position to do so. In such event, there can be no assurance that the current management team would remain in place or that the Companys business plan would not materially change as a result of a shift in control.
Competition with Other Ventures of the Manager and Its Members
The Manager and its principals own and/or sponsor other investments and programs. These activities may compete for the time and resources of the Managers personnel. The Company will not have the legal right to compel the Managers personnel to allocate their time in the Companys favor, nor to forego opportunities for the sale of the Companys interests.
No Market for Units
There is presently no market for the Units and none is anticipated. There are substantial restrictions upon the sale of Units. The Companys exit strategy anticipates the eventual ability to sell or exchange the Units, but it may take longer to liquidate or exchange than anticipated. There can be no absolute assurance of the final liquidation date or exchange date of the Company, nor a particular date upon which investments will be returned.
Arbitrary Offering Price
The offering price of $105,000 per Unit and the number of Units offered hereby have been determined arbitrarily by the Company. No independent opinion or other appraisal has been obtained in the determination of the value of the Company or offering price.
Federal Income Tax Risks
THE COMPANY HAS NOT OBTAINED A LEGAL OPINION CONCERNING THE TAX IMPLICATIONS OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY. Investors are accredited or up to 35 non accredited as defined in federal law and are therefore presumed to have access to needed legal and tax advice. Prospective purchasers of Units must consult their own tax advisors as to their own tax situation prior to investment in the Company. The cost of such consultation could, depending on the amount thereof, materially increase the cost of investment in the Company and decrease any anticipated yield on the investment. A number of changes in the tax laws have been made and/or are under consideration, and such professional consultation is essential.
6
Risk of Audit
The Companys federal returns may be audited by the IRS. Such audit may result in the challenge and disallowance of some of the deductions or increase in the taxable income described in such returns. No assurance or warranty of any kind can be made with respect to the deductibility or taxability of any such items in the event of either an audit or any litigation resulting from an audit.
Tax Classification of the Company
The Manager expects the Company to be taxed as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. If the Company were to be treated for tax purposes as a corporation, the tax benefits associated with an investment in the Company, if any, would not be available to the Members. The Company would, among other things, pay income tax on its earnings in the same manner and at the same rate as a corporation, and losses, if any, would not be passed through to, and deductible by, the Members.
Investing in the Healthcare Industry Involves Certain Risks
A variety of factors can have a material adverse effect on the expected cash flows, net income, value of the underlying businesses and other matters described in the Financial Information, including many factors over which the Company will have no control. Such factors and risks are not described herein, and investors are expected to perform such due diligence as they deem necessary to evaluate an investment in the healthcare industry.
The return on any investment in the Units ultimately will be dependent on the performance of the assets and investments that make up the TSH Preferred, which includes investments in preferred interests in FSA, and FSHA, which are two subsidiaries of FHA.
Investors will have no control over the Company after the Offering. The business and affairs of the Company will be directed, managed and controlled by the Manager, which will be appointed solely by the Class A Member, which will have voting control. The Class B Units offered in this Offering will have no voting rights and no control of the Company, except as otherwise provided in the Companys Articles of Organization, Operating Agreement or as the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act requires.
Because there is no market for the Class B Units, you may not be able to sell your Class B Units or recover any part of your investment, unless the Company is able to redeem and pay for the Class B Units as required by its terms. Also, the transfer and assignment of Class B Units is restricted as described in Assignment below.
Certain Transactions and Potential Conflicts of Interest
Graymark, the Manager, certain officers and directors of Graymark and principals of the Manager, and their affiliates, have engaged in, and may be expected to further engage in, certain transactions with FHA, FSA, FSHA, TSH, and the manager of these entities (and their affiliates) and may receive fees or other forms of compensation and income in connection with such transactions and interests. While the Manager and its principals believe the fees and other compensation received in connection with these transactions is reasonable, such fees and other compensation are not negotiated on an arms length basis.
7
Certain principals of the Manager are currently invested in, and may in the future invest in, one or more entities that are affiliated with FHA. The Managers principals and some of the Companys potential investors have an equity interest in the entities that own real property leased by FHAs operating businesses. The Manager, including its principals and affiliates, may in the future, but is not obligated to, offer additional investment opportunities to one or more of the Companys investors (but not necessarily all investors) and to investors, principals, and affiliates of FHA.
Michael B. Horrell is affiliated with Graymark and a principal of the Manager and is also a principal of certain interests in FHA subsidiaries.
The investors hereby acknowledge and waive any claims in connection with a conflict of interest of the Company, the Manager, FHA, FSA, FSHA, TSH, or any principals, affiliates or investors of any of the foregoing.
Assignment
Class B Units may not be transferred or assigned without the prior written consent of the Manager and in no event will a transfer or assignment be allowed if it would result in the Company failing to qualify for an exemption from the registration requirements of the federal or any applicable state securities laws. Similarly, shares of Graymark common stock issued to Class B Unit holders will not be registered and will be restricted shares.

Profit, Loss, and Distributions
4.1. Distributions of Distributable Cash. Subject to applicable law and any limitations contained elsewhere in this Agreement, in any calendar year, the Manager shall direct the Company to distribute any Distributable Cash to the Interest Holders, which distributions shall be made to the Interest Holders as follows:
4.1.1. First, to the Class B Members in an amount equal to their Unpaid Preference;
4.1.2. Then, to the holders of Common Equity in accordance with their respective Membership Interest Percentages.
4.1A Special Distribution. In a calendar year in which a Class B Member exercises its Class B Redemption, distributions of Distributable Cash that are made after the exercise of the Class B Redemption shall be made as follows:
4.1A.1 First to the Class B Member in an amount equal to its Unpaid Preference;
4.1A.2 Second, to the Class B Member in an amount equal to the unpaid Class B Redemption Obligation; and
4.1A.3 Thereafter, to the holders of Common Equity in accordance with their respective Membership Interest Percentages.
If the Manager determines that the unpaid Class B Redemption Obligation cannot be satisfied during the taxable year without additional capital or the Manager determines that there is not sufficient Distributable Cash to fully satisfy the unpaid Class B Redemption Obligation, the Manager will direct GRMH to, and GRMH will promptly, recontribute any distributions received by GRMH pursuant to this Article IV after the date hereof to the extent necessary to satisfy the unpaid Class B Redemption Obligation. It is expected that the Manager will operate the Company in a manner recognizing the Class B Redemption Obligation, including imposing reasonable restrictions on the Companys capital and non capital expenditures to allow the satisfaction of the Class B Redemption Obligation.
4.2. Profit and Loss Allocations. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Section 4.2, after giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 4.3, for any taxable year of the Company, Profit or Loss shall be allocated to the Interest Holders in proportion to their Membership Interest Percentages.
4.3. Regulatory Allocations.
4.3.1. Qualified Income Offset. No Interest Holder shall be allocated Losses or deductions to the extent the allocation would, as of the end of the taxable year, create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. If an Interest Holder receives (1) an allocation of Loss or deduction (or item thereof), or (2) any distribution which causes
the Interest Holder to have or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any taxable year, then all items of income and gain of the Company (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Company income, including gross income and gain) for that taxable year shall be allocated to that Interest Holder before any other allocation is made of Company items for that taxable year, in the amount and in proportions required to eliminate the excess as quickly as possible. This Section 4.3.1 is intended to comply with, and shall be interpreted consistently with, the qualified income offset provisions of the Regulations promulgated under Code Section 704(b).
4.3.2. Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as set forth in Regulation Section 1.704-2(f)(2), (3), and (4), if, during any taxable year, there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain or Member Minimum Gain, each Interest Holder, prior to any other allocation pursuant to this Section IV, shall be specially allocated items of gross income and gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, subsequent taxable years) in an amount equal to that Interest Holders share of the net decrease of Minimum Gain or Member Minimum Gain. Allocations of gross income and gain pursuant to this Section 4.3.2 shall be made first from gain recognized from the disposition of Company assets subject to nonrecourse liabilities (within the meaning of the Regulations promulgated under Code Section 752), to the extent of the Minimum Gain or Member Minimum Gain attributable to those assets, and thereafter, from a pro rata portion of the Companys other items of income and gain for the taxable year. It is the intent of the parties hereto that any allocation pursuant to this Section 4.3.2 shall constitute a minimum gain chargeback under Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f) or 1.704-2(i)(4) and that this section be interpreted consistently therewith.
4.3.3. Contributed Property and Book-Ups. In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, as well as Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(d)(3), income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed (or deemed contributed) to the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Interest Holders so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of the property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its fair market value at the date of contribution (or deemed contribution). Unless the Manager elects otherwise, if the adjusted book value of any Company asset is adjusted as provided herein, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to the asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of the asset for federal income tax purposes and its adjusted book value in the manner required under Code Section 704(c) using the traditional method described in the Regulations thereunder.
4.3.4. Code Section 754 Adjustment. To the extent an adjustment to the tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of the adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases basis), and the gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Interest Holders in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to that Section of the Regulations.
4.3.5. Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for a taxable year or other period shall be specially allocated to the holders of Common Equity in accordance with their respective Membership Interest Percentages.
4.3.6. Member Loan Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Member Loan Nonrecourse Deduction for any taxable year or other period shall be specially allocated to the Interest Holder who bears the risk of loss with respect to the loan to which the Member Loan Nonrecourse Deduction is attributable in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2.
4.3.7. Guaranteed Payments. Any distributions with respect to the Preference are intended to be guaranteed payment under Code Section 707(c) paid to recipient other than in its capacity as a Member within the meaning of Code Section 707(a) and the partnership expense arising from such guaranteed payment shall be allocated to the Common Equity holders based on their Membership Interest Percentages. To the extent any such distributions with respect to the Preference, any compensation paid to any Member by the Company, including any fees payable to any Member pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof, or the payment to a Class B Member made pursuant to Section 4.6, is determined by the Internal Revenue Service not to be a guaranteed payment under Code Section 707(c) or is not paid to the Member other than in the Persons capacity as a Member within the meaning of Code Section 707(a), the Member shall be specially allocated gross income of the Company in an amount equal to the amount of that payment, and the Members Capital Account shall be adjusted to reflect the payment.
4.3.8. Unrealized Receivables. If an Interest Holders Interest is reduced (provided the reduction does not result in a complete termination of the Interest Holders Interest), the Interest Holders share of the Companys unrealized receivables and substantially appreciated inventory (within the meaning of Code Section 751) shall not be reduced, so that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, that portion of the Profit otherwise allocable upon a liquidation or dissolution of the Company pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof which is taxable as ordinary income (recaptured) for federal income tax purposes shall, to the extent possible without increasing the total gain to the Company or to any Interest Holder, be specially allocated among the Interest Holders in proportion to the deductions (or basis reductions treated as deductions) giving rise to such recapture.
4.3.9. Withholding. All amounts required to be withheld pursuant to Code Section 1446 or any other provision of federal, state, or local tax law shall be treated as amounts actually distributed to the affected Interest Holders for all purposes under this Agreement.
4.4. Liquidation and Dissolution.
4.4.1. If the Company is liquidated, the assets of the Company shall be distributed to the Interest Holders in accordance with the following:
(i) First to Class B Members in an amount equal to the Unpaid Capital Contribution and Unpaid Preference as of the date of the distribution;
(ii) Then, the balance to the holders of Common Equity in accordance with their respective Membership Interest Percentages.
4.4.2. No Interest Holder shall be obligated to restore a Negative Capital Account.
4.5. General.
4.5.1. If any assets of the Company are distributed in kind to the Interest Holders, those assets shall be valued on the basis of their fair market value, and any Interest Holder entitled to any interest in those assets shall receive that interest as a tenant-in-common with all other Interest Holders so entitled. Unless the Members (including the Class B Members) otherwise agree, the fair market value of the assets shall be determined by an independent appraiser who shall be selected by the Members with the consent of the Class B Members. The Profit or Loss for each undistributed asset shall be determined as if the asset had been sold at its fair market value, and the Profit or Loss shall be allocated as provided in Section 4.2 and shall be properly credited or charged to the Capital Accounts of the Interest Holders prior to the distribution of the assets in liquidation pursuant to Section 4.4.
4.5.2. All Profit and Loss shall be allocated, and all distributions shall be made, to the Persons shown on the records of the Company to have been Interest Holders as of the last day of the taxable year for which the allocation or distribution is to be made. All distributions shall be made to the Persons shown on the records of the company to have been Interest Holders as of the date the distribution is to be made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Companys taxable year is separated into segments, if there is a Transfer during the taxable year, the Profit or Loss shall be allocated between the original Interest Holder and the successor on the basis of the number of days each was an Interest Holder during the taxable year; provided, however, the Companys taxable year shall be segregated into two or more segments in order to account for Profit, Loss, or proceeds attributable to any extraordinary nonrecurring items of the Company.
4.5.3. The Manager is authorized, upon the advice of the Companys tax counsel, to amend this Section IV to comply with the Code and the Regulations promulgated under Code Section 704(b); provided, however, that no amendment shall materially affect distributions to an Interest Holder without the Interest Holders prior written consent.
4.6. Clawback. Upon the dissolution of the Company, the Manager shall calculate the amount by which the Class B Members Capital Contributions with respect to the Preferred Equity plus the Preference thereon exceeds all distributions made to the Class B Member on account of the provisions of Section IV. This calculated amount is hereinafter referred to as the Clawback Requirement. GRMH shall contribute to the Company an amount (hereinafter referred to as the Minimum Distribution) equal to the lesser of (a) the Clawback Requirement
or (b) the aggregate amount of distributions received by GRMH from the Company after the date of this Agreement. The Company, upon receipt of the Minimum Distribution, shall pay an amount equal to the Minimum Distribution to the Class B Member. The amount distributed to the Class B Member shall be accounted for as a guaranteed payment under Code Section 707(c). The partnership expense arising from such guaranteed payment shall be allocated to GRMH.

Profit, Loss, and Distributions

4.1.1. First, to FHE in an amount equal to its Unpaid Preference;
4.1.2. Then, subject to Section 4.1B, to the holders of Common Equity in accordance with their respective Membership Interest Percentages.
4.1A Special Distribution. In a calendar year in which FHE exercises its FHE Redemption, distributions of Distributable Cash that are made after the exercise of the FHE Redemption shall be made as follows:
4.1A.1 First to FHE in an amount equal to its Unpaid Preference;
4.1A.2 Second, to FHE in an amount equal to the unpaid FHE Redemption Obligation; and
4.1A.3 Thereafter, subject to Section 4.1.B, to the holders of Common Equity in accordance with their respective Membership Interest Percentages.
If the Manager determines that the unpaid FHE Redemption Obligation cannot be satisfied during the taxable year without additional capital or the Manager determines that there is not sufficient Distributable Cash to fully satisfy the unpaid FHE Redemption Obligation, the Manager will direct GRMH to, and GRMH will promptly, recontribute any distributions received by GRMH pursuant to this Article IV after the date hereof to the extent necessary to satisfy the unpaid FHE Redemption Obligation. It is expected that the Manager will operate the Company in a manner recognizing the FHE Redemption Obligation, including imposing reasonable restrictions on the Companys capital and non capital expenditures to allow the satisfaction of the FHE Redemption Obligation.
4.2. Profit and Loss Allocations. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Section 4.2, after giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 4.3, for any taxable year of the Company, Profit or Loss shall be allocated to the Interest Holders in proportion to their Membership Interest Percentages.
4.3. Regulatory Allocations.
4.3.1. Qualified Income Offset. No Interest Holder shall be allocated Losses or deductions to the extent the allocation would, as of the end of the taxable year, create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. If an Interest Holder receives (1) an allocation of Loss or deduction (or item thereof), or (2) any distribution which causes the Interest Holder to have or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any taxable year, then all items of income and gain of the Company (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Company income, including gross income and gain) for that taxable year shall be allocated to that Interest Holder before any other allocation is made of Company items for that taxable year, in the amount and in proportions required to eliminate the excess as quickly as possible. This Section 4.3.1 is intended to comply with, and shall be interpreted consistently with, the qualified income offset provisions of the Regulations promulgated under Code Section 704(b).
4.3.2. Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as set forth in Regulation Section 1.704-2(f)(2), (3), and (4), if, during any taxable year, there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain or Member Minimum Gain, each Interest Holder, prior to any other allocation pursuant to this Section IV, shall be specially allocated items of gross income and gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, subsequent taxable years) in an amount equal to that Interest Holders share of the net decrease of Minimum Gain or Member Minimum Gain. Allocations of gross income and gain pursuant to this Section 4.3.2 shall be made first from gain recognized from the disposition of Company assets subject to nonrecourse liabilities (within the meaning of the Regulations promulgated under Code Section 752), to the extent of the Minimum Gain or Member Minimum Gain attributable to those assets, and thereafter, from a pro rata portion of the Companys other items of income and gain for the taxable year. It is the intent of the parties hereto that any allocation pursuant to this Section 4.3.2 shall constitute a minimum gain chargeback under Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f) or 1.704-2(i)(4) and that this section be interpreted consistently therewith.
4.3.3. Contributed Property and Book-Ups. In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, as well as Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(d)(3), income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed (or deemed contributed) to the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Interest Holders so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of the property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its fair market value at the date of contribution (or deemed contribution). Unless the Manager elects otherwise, if the adjusted book value of any Company asset is adjusted as provided
herein, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to the asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of the asset for federal income tax purposes and its adjusted book value in the manner required under Code Section 704(c) using the traditional method described in the Regulations thereunder.
4.3.4. Code Section 754 Adjustment. To the extent an adjustment to the tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of the adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases basis), and the gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Interest Holders in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to that Section of the Regulations.
4.3.5. Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for a taxable year or other period shall be specially allocated to the holders of Common Equity in accordance with their respective Membership Interest Percentages.
4.3.6. Member Loan Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Member Loan Nonrecourse Deduction for any taxable year or other period shall be specially allocated to the Interest Holder who bears the risk of loss with respect to the loan to which the Member Loan Nonrecourse Deduction is attributable in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2.
4.3.7. Guaranteed Payments. Any distributions with respect to the Preference are intended to be guaranteed payment under Code Section 707(c) paid to recipient other than in its capacity as a Member within the meaning of Code Section 707(a) and the partnership expense arising from such guaranteed payment shall be allocated to the Common Equity holders based on their Membership Interest Percentages. To the extent any such distributions with respect to the Preference, any compensation paid to any Member by the Company, including any fees payable to any Member pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof, or the payment to FHE made pursuant to Section 4.6, is determined by the Internal Revenue Service not to be a guaranteed payment under Code Section 707(c) or is not paid to the Member other than in the Persons capacity as a Member within the meaning of Code Section 707(a), the Member shall be specially allocated gross income of the Company in an amount equal to the amount of that payment, and the Members Capital Account shall be adjusted to reflect the payment.
4.3.8. Unrealized Receivables. If an Interest Holders Interest is reduced (provided the reduction does not result in a complete termination of the Interest Holders Interest), the Interest Holders share of the Companys unrealized receivables and substantially appreciated inventory (within the meaning of Code Section 751) shall not be reduced, so that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, that portion of the Profit otherwise allocable upon a liquidation or dissolution of the Company pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof which is taxable as ordinary income (recaptured) for federal income tax purposes shall, to the extent possible without increasing the total gain to the Company or to any Interest Holder, be specially allocated among the Interest Holders in proportion to the deductions (or basis reductions treated as deductions) giving rise to such recapture.
4.3.9. Withholding. All amounts required to be withheld pursuant to Code Section 1446 or any other provision of federal, state, or local tax law shall be treated as amounts actually distributed to the affected Interest Holders for all purposes under this Agreement.
4.4. Liquidation and Dissolution.
4.4.1. If the Company is liquidated, the assets of the Company shall be distributed to the Interest Holders in accordance with the following:
(iii) First to FHE in an amount equal to the Unpaid Capital Contribution and Unpaid Preference as of the date of the distribution;
(iv) Then, the balance to the holders of Common Equity in accordance with their respective Membership Interest Percentages.
4.4.2. No Interest Holder shall be obligated to restore a Negative Capital Account.
4.5. General.
4.5.1. If any assets of the Company are distributed in kind to the Interest Holders, those assets shall be valued on the basis of their fair market value, and any Interest Holder entitled to any interest in those assets shall receive that interest as a tenant-in-common with all other Interest Holders so entitled. Unless the Members (including FHE) otherwise agree, the fair market value of the assets shall be determined by an independent appraiser who shall be selected by the Members with the consent of FHE. The Profit or Loss for each undistributed asset shall be determined as if the asset had been sold at its fair market value, and the Profit or Loss shall be allocated as provided in Section 4.2 and shall be properly credited or charged to the Capital Accounts of the Interest Holders prior to the distribution of the assets in liquidation pursuant to Section 4.4.
4.5.2. All Profit and Loss shall be allocated, and all distributions shall be made, to the Persons shown on the records of the Company to have been Interest Holders as of the last day of the taxable year for which the allocation or distribution is to be made. All distributions shall be made to the Persons shown on the records of the company to have been Interest Holders as of the date the distribution is to be made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Companys taxable year is separated into segments, if there is a Transfer during the taxable year, the Profit or Loss shall be allocated between the original Interest Holder and the successor on the basis of the number of days each was an Interest Holder during the taxable year; provided, however, the Companys taxable year shall be segregated into two or more segments in order to account for Profit, Loss, or proceeds attributable to any extraordinary nonrecurring items of the Company.
4.5.3. The Manager is authorized, upon the advice of the Companys tax counsel, to amend this Section IV to comply with the Code and the Regulations promulgated under Code Section 704(b); provided, however, that no amendment shall materially affect distributions to an Interest Holder without the Interest Holders prior written consent.
4.6. Clawback. Upon the dissolution of the Company, the Manager shall calculate the amount by which FHEs Capital Contributions with respect to the Preferred Equity plus the Preference thereon exceeds all distributions made to FHE on account of the provisions of Section IV. This calculated amount is hereinafter referred to as the Clawback Requirement. GRMH shall contribute to the Company an amount (hereinafter referred to as the Minimum Distribution) equal to the lesser of (a) the Clawback Requirement or (b) the aggregate amount of distributions received by GRMH from the Company after the date of this Agreement. The Company, upon receipt of the Minimum Distribution, shall pay an amount equal to the Minimum Distribution to FHE. The amount distributed to FHE shall be accounted for as a guaranteed payment under Code Section 707(c). The partnership expense arising from such guaranteed payment shall be allocated to GRMH.
Section V.

Exhibit F
Graymark Business
Graymark is one of the largest providers of care management solutions to the sleep disorder market based on number of independent sleep care centers and hospital sleep diagnostic programs operated in the United States. Graymark provides a comprehensive diagnosis and care management solution for patients suffering from sleep disorders.
Sleep Management Market
Graymark believes that the market for sleep management solutions is large and growing with no clear market leader. A number of factors support the future growth of this market:
| Large and undiagnosed population of patients that suffer from sleep disorders. There are a substantial number of undiagnosed patients who could benefit from diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders. There are an estimated 50 million Americans that suffer from chronic, long-term sleep disorders, according to the National Institutes of Health, or NIH. There are over 80 different sleep disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA, insomnia, narcolepsy and restless legs syndrome. The primary focus of Graymarks business is OSA, which the National Sleep Foundation estimates occur in at least 18 million Americans. Moreover, according to the American College of Physicians, about 80% of persons with sleep apnea go undiagnosed. |
| Increasing awareness of diagnosis and treatment options, particularly for OSA. Graymark believes there is an increasing awareness among the U.S. population and physicians in particular about the health risks and the availability and benefits of treatment options for sleep disorders. Of significant importance, OSA can have serious effects on peoples health and personal lives. OSA is known to increase the risk for several serious health conditions, including obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, depression and sexual dysfunction. Additionally, OSA may result in excessive daytime sleepiness, memory loss, lack of concentration and irritability. OSA and its effects may increase the risk for automobile accidents and negatively affect work productivity and personal relationships. In addition, as physicians become aware of the links between OSA and other serious health conditions, physicians are increasingly referring patients for sleep studies. |
| Growth in obesity rates. OSA is found in people of every age and body type, but is most commonly found in the middle-aged, obese population. Obesity is found in approximately 72 million adults in America and is a growing problem in the United States. By 2020, the number of obese Americans is expected to be approximately 103 million. Obesity exacerbates OSA by enlarging the upper airway soft tissue structures and narrowing the airway. Not only does obesity contribute to sleep disorders such as OSA, but sleep disorders can also contribute to obesity. We believe individuals suffering from OSA generally have less energy and ability to exercise or keep a strict diet. Medical studies have also shown that sleep disorders can impair metabolism and disrupt hormone levels, promoting weight gain. |
| Large aging population. An aging U.S. population, led by approximately 78 million baby-boomers, is becoming increasingly at risk for OSA. As their soft palates enlarge, their pharyngeal fat pads increase in size and the shape of bony structures around the airway change. |
Graymark believes these factors present a significant business opportunity for Graymark because Graymark provides a complete continuum of care for those who suffer from OSA from initial diagnosis to treatment with a continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP, device to providing ongoing CPAP supplies and long-term follow-up care.
| The amount being spent on sleep disorder diagnosis and treatment is increasing. A 2010 Frost & Sullivan report estimated the U.S. sleep diagnostic market was $1.4 billion in 2008, and that it will grow to $3.4 billion by 2015 for a compound annual growth rate of 14.3%. |
| The sleep diagnostic market is highly fragmented. Graymarks presence as one of the largest overall providers of sleep diagnostic services with 103 total diagnostic and therapy locations comprised of 21 independent sleep care centers and 82 hospital sleep diagnostic programs, out of a total Graymark estimate includes 4,000 sleep clinics in the United States, illustrates the level of fragmentation in the market. Only a limited number of companies provide a comprehensive solution which includes initial diagnosis to treatment with a CPAP device and the provision of ongoing CPAP supplies and long-term follow-up care. |
Graymark Sleep Management Solution
The Graymark sleep management solution is driven by the Graymark clinical approach to managing sleep disorders. The Graymark clinical model is led by the Graymark staff of medical directors who are board-certified physicians in sleep medicine, who oversee the entire life cycle of a sleep disorder from initial referral through continuing care management. The Graymark approach to managing the care of Graymark patients diagnosed with OSA is a key differentiator for Graymark. Five key elements support the Graymark clinical approach:
| Referral: The Graymark medical directors, who are board-certified physicians in sleep medicine, have forged strong relationships with referral sources, which include primary care physicians, as well as physicians from a wide variety of other specialties and dentists. |
| Diagnosis: Graymark owns and operates sleep testing clinics that diagnose the full range of sleep disorders including OSA, insomnia, narcolepsy and restless legs syndrome. |
| CPAP Device Supply: Graymark sells CPAP devices, which are used to treat OSA. |
| Re-Supply: Graymark offers a re-supply program for Graymark patients and other CPAP users to obtain the required components for their CPAP devices that must be replaced on a regular basis. |
| Care Management: Graymark provides continuing care to the Graymark patients led by our medical directors who are board-certified physicians in sleep medicine and their staff. |
The Graymark clinical approach increases the long-term compliance of Graymark patients, and enables Graymark to manage a patients sleep disorder care throughout the lifecycle of the disorder, thereby allowing Graymark to generate a long-term, recurring revenue stream. Graymark generates revenues via three primary sources: providing the diagnostic tests and related studies for sleep disorders through the Graymark sleep diagnostic centers, the sale of CPAP devices, and the ongoing re-supply of components of the CPAP device that need to be replaced. In addition, as a part of the Graymark ongoing care management program, Graymark monitors the patients sleep disorder and as the patients medical condition changes, Graymark is paid for additional diagnostic tests and studies.
In addition, Graymark believes that the Graymark clinical approach to comprehensive patient care provides higher quality of care and achieves higher patient compliance. Graymark believes that higher compliance rates are directly correlated to higher revenue generation per patient compared to our competitors through increased utilization of the Graymark patient reorder supply program, or PRSP, and a greater likelihood of full reimbursement from federal payors and those commercial carriers who have adopted federal payor standards.
Referral and Diagnosis
Patients at risk for, or suspected of suffering from, a sleep disorder are referred to one of the Graymark sleep clinics by independent physicians, dentists, group practices, or self-referrals. At the Graymark independent sleep care centers and hospital sleep diagnostic programs, which Graymark refers to as our sleep clinics, Graymark administers an overnight polysomnogram, or sleep study, to determine if the Graymark patients suffer from a sleep disorder. The Graymark medical directors provide a diagnosis and comprehensive report to the referring physician based on analysis of the patients sleep study results.
CPAP Device Supply
If the physician determines the patient suffers from OSA following the review of the sleep study results, then the patient is generally prescribed the American Academy of Sleep Medicines, or AASM, preferred method of treatment, which is with a CPAP device. Patients return to the Graymark clinic for an overnight study to determine the optimal air pressure to prescribe with the CPAP device. Sometimes, both the diagnosis and air pressure study are done in one night. Regulatory restrictions prevent Medicare from making payments to sleep diagnostics centers that sell CPAP devices unless the diagnosis has been made by a medical director who is board-certified in sleep medicine or who meets other specified criteria. All of the sleep studies Graymark conducts, except for those conducted at one of Graymark non-accredited centers, qualifies Graymark to receive Medicare reimbursement for the sale of CPAP devices.
Re-supply
In addition to selling CPAP devices to people with OSA, Graymark offers the Graymark patient reorder supply program, or PRSP. The PRSP periodically supplies the components of the CPAP device that must be regularly replaced (such as masks, hoses, filters, and other parts) to the Graymark patients and other CPAP users. This enables them to better maintain their CPAP devices, increasing the probability of ongoing compliance and a better long-term clinical outcome and providing Graymark with a long-term recurring revenue stream.
Care Management
The Graymark thorough wellness and continuing care program led by the Graymark medical staff provides the greatest opportunity for Graymark patients to use their CPAP devices properly and stay compliant. After the initial CPAP device set-up, the Graymark clinical staff contacts the patient regularly during the initial six months (at 48 hours, two weeks, two months and six months) and each six months thereafter to enhance patient understanding and to ensure the greatest chance for the short- and long-term success for the patient. Most importantly, where Graymark has the program in place, the Graymark medical staff has an in-person visit with the patient and their CPAP device approximately 45 days after the initial set-up. The purpose of the visit is to verify initial compliance and to enhance compliance by assuring proper fit and feel of the CPAP device (usually the mask), determining if there are any medical impediments to compliance (such as untreated allergies), and answering any questions about the operation or care of the equipment. Graymark also works closely with the patients physicians to aid in their follow-up care and monitoring of the treatment.
Recently, as the public and medical communities have become increasingly aware of the sleep diagnostic and treatment markets, federal and state lawmakers and regulators have taken a greater interest in implementing stricter criteria to ensure a high standard of care. Federal payors, and commercial carriers who have adopted similar standards, will only pay CPAP providers for equipment over a 13-month period in equal installments. Payment is stopped if the CPAP provider cannot document patient compliance levels that meet their established standards within the first 90 days after the initial set-up.

Foundation Health Enterprises LLC
SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT AND POWER OF ATTORNEY
This Subscription Agreement and Power of Attorney (this Subscription Agreement) is made by and between Foundation Health Enterprises LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the Company), and the undersigned who is subscribing hereby for Class B membership interests consisting of a one percent (1%) Class B membership interest in Foundation Health Enterprises, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the Company) representing one Class B membership unit in the Company and 10,000 shares of restricted shares of common stock of Graymark Healthcare, Inc., (Class B Units) of the Company being sold as Class B Units (Units) through a private placement by the Company (the Private Placement). The terms of the units are described in the Companys Operating Agreement, dated , 2013 (the Operating Agreement), with which this Subscription Agreement has been delivered.
By executing this Agreement I hereby acknowledge that I have received a copy of the Operating Agreement. I further acknowledge that I (or my Investor Representative) have read the Operating Agreement and that I fully understand the terms and conditions of the Operating Agreement and the Class B Units represented by the Units, including the terms and conditions governing the amount and timing of distributions (if any) on such Class B Units
In consideration of the Companys agreement to issue Units to the undersigned, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the undersigned agrees and represents as follows:
A. | SUBSCRIPTION |
1. The undersigned hereby subscribes for the number of Units (the Units), or fractional part thereof, set forth on the signature page below, at a price of One Hundred Five Thousand Dollars ($105,000) per Unit, in cash payable in U.S. currency by money order, bank draft or check made payable to Foundation Health Enterprises LLC at the time of the delivery of this executed Subscription Agreement to the Company, or by conversion of debt owed by the Company to the undersigned, The undersigned agrees to execute and deliver to the Company any other documents or loan documents reasonably requested by the Company to substantiate satisfaction by the undersigned of the terms and conditions established for investors as conditions precedent to the issuance of Units of the Company and any other documents subsequently required by any lender, state securities commission or other authority or by Management. If the foregoing subscription is accepted by the Company, the undersigned acknowledges that the undersigned will be issued the Units.
2. The undersigned understands that the undersigned may become a Unit holder at any time following the Companys receipt and acceptance of this subscription at the discretion of Management, after execution of this Agreement and the remittance of funds to the Company (although such remittance of funds is not required to render this Agreement enforceable once signed and delivered to the Company) at which time the undersigneds subscription funds and other documents will be released for use by the Company. Subscriptions will be accepted or rejected on a rolling basis and there is no requirement that the Company sell a minimum number of Class B Units before accepting this subscription.
3. The undersigned understands and acknowledges that:
20
a. This subscription may be accepted or rejected in whole or in part by Management in Managements sole and absolute discretion and that the undersigned will not become a member of the Company or be issued any Class B Units therein until the Subscription Agreement is countersigned by Management. Management shall have the right to reduce each investors (including that of the undersigned) subscription to reduce the total subscription if such is deemed to be in the best interest of the Company and its Interest holders.
b. If this subscription is accepted, the Units purchased pursuant hereto will be owned only in the name of the undersigned as indicated on the signature page below. If this subscription is rejected, any funds submitted in connection with the Subscription Agreement will be refunded to the undersigned by check or bank draft, without interest.
c. Except as provided under applicable state securities laws, this subscription is and shall be irrevocable, except that the undersigned shall have no obligations hereunder in the event that this subscription is for any reason rejected or the Private Placement is for any reason canceled.
d. The following securities law matters are applicable to the offering:
THE UNITS OFFERED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE ACT), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND ARE BEING OFFERED AND SOLD IN RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT AND SUCH LAWS. THE UNITS HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, OR BY THE SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY OF ANY STATE, NOR HAVE ANY OF THE FOREGOING AUTHORITIES PASSED UPON OR ENDORSED THE MERITS OF THIS OFFERING OR THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THESE SUBSCRIPTION MATERIALS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL. THE UNITS MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, WHOLLY OR IN PART, EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS.
e. The Units are being purchased for the undersigneds own account for investment and not for distribution or resale to others. The undersigned agrees that the undersigned will not sell or otherwise transfer the undersigneds Units unless they are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), or unless an exemption from such registration is available. The undersigned represents that the undersigned has adequate means of providing for the undersigneds current needs and possible personal contingencies and that the undersigned has no need for liquidity in this investment. It is understood that all documents, records and books pertaining to this investment have been made available for inspection by the undersigned and as requested by any of the undersigneds attorney, accountant and Investor Representative.
f. No federal or state agency has made any finding or determination as to the adequacy of the information set forth herein or as to the fairness of the Private Placement or any recommendation or endorsement of the Units.
g. Any federal or state tax results of an investment in the Units are not susceptible to absolute prediction and audit adjustments to Company returns or returns of individual Unit holders, new developments in rulings of the Internal Revenue Service, court decisions or legislative or administrative changes may have an adverse effect on one or more of the tax consequences sought by the Company.
21
h. Because the Units have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, the economic risk of the investment must be borne indefinitely by the undersigned and the Units cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and such laws. Any such registration is unlikely at any time in the future. Neither the Company nor Management is obligated to file a notification under Regulation A of the Securities Act or a registration statement under the Securities Act; Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act, governing the possible disposition of the Units, is not currently available and is not expected to be available in the foreseeable future and neither the Company nor Management has covenanted to take any action necessary to make Rule 144 available for a resale of the Units; additionally, it is not anticipated that there will be any market for resale of the Units in the foreseeable future.
i. The undersigned acknowledges that the Units are subject to certain transfer restrictions set forth in the Operating Agreement. Further, if the undersigned desires to transfer any of the Units purchased hereby, in addition to complying with such transfer restrictions the undersigned agrees to comply with applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations and applicable federal and state banking laws and regulations (collectively, the Securities Laws).
j. The undersigned hereby acknowledges and agrees that this Subscription Agreement may not be canceled, revoked or withdrawn by the undersigned, and that this Subscription Agreement and the documents submitted herewith shall survive death or disability of the undersigned.
k. The undersigned understands and acknowledges that the Company is relying on representations, warranties and agreements made by the undersigned to the Company herein and in the Investor Questionnaire delivered herewith by the undersigned to the Company (the Investor Questionnaire) and, therefore, hereby agrees to indemnify the Company, Management and their partners, directors, officers, affiliates, employees, agents and attorneys, and hold each of them harmless against any and all loss, damage, liability or expense, including reasonable attorneys fees, which they or any of them may suffer, sustain or incur by reason of or in connection with any misrepresentation or breach of warranty or agreement made by the undersigned under this Subscription Agreement, the Investor Questionnaire or in connection with the sale or distribution by the undersigned of the Units purchased by the undersigned pursuant hereto: (i) in violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable law; or (ii) in violation of any of the Securities Laws.

25
4. This Subscription Agreement shall be enforced, governed and construed in all respects in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. This Subscription Agreement and the rights, powers and duties set forth herein shall be binding upon the undersigned, the undersigneds heirs, estate, legal representatives, successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns.

5. The undersigned hereby certifies under the penalties of perjury that the social security number or tax identification number provided below and the information provided with respect to Section 3406a(a)(1)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, is true and correct.
Pursuant to the Unit and Dividend Tax Compliance Act of 1983, payors of interest, dividends and certain other payments must withhold thirty one percent (31%) of such amounts (this is referred to as backup withholding) if the payee fails to furnish the payor with: (i) the payees correct taxpayer identification number (the payees social security number); and (ii) a statement certified under penalties of perjury concerning: (a) the accuracy of the payees taxpayer identification number; and (b) the fact that the payee is not subject to backup withholding because the Internal Revenue Service has not notified the payee that he is subject to backup withholding due to a failure to report all interest and dividends. Funds deposited with the Company by subscribers may earn interest. Therefore, absent receiving the undersigneds taxpayer identification number and the foregoing certification by checking the appropriate box that he is not subject to backup withholding pursuant to Section 3406(a)(1)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code, backup withholding will be applicable in general.
Make an X in the following blank if you are NOT subject to backup withholding under the provisions of Section 3406(a)(1)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Taxpayer Identification Number or Social Security Number:

The undersigned has not been provided with any written information concerning the Company other than the Operating Agreement and the Subscription Materials of which this Subscription Agreement is a part.

Borrower: | East El Paso Physicians Medical Center, LLC (TIN: 26-1281512) 1416 George Dieter Drive El Paso, TX 79936-7601 |
Lender: | Legacy Bank OKC May 2801 W Memorial Oklahoma City, OK 73134 |
Principal Amount: $1,000,000.00 | Date of Note: March 21, 2012 |
PROMISE TO PAY. East El Paso Physicians Medical Center, LLC (Borrower) promises to pay to Legacy Bank (Lender), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of One Million & 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00), together with interest on the unpaid principal balance from March 21, 2012, until paid in full.
PAYMENT. Subject to any payment changes resulting from changes in the Index, Borrower will pay this loan in accordance with the following payment schedule, which calculates interest on the unpaid principal balances as described in the INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD paragraph using the interest rates described in this paragraph: 6 monthly consecutive interest payments, beginning April 21, 2012, with interest calculated on the unpaid principal balances using an interest rate based on the minimum prime lending rate for large U.S. Money Center Commercial banks as published in the Money Rate Section of the Wall Street Journal (currently 3.250%), plus a margin of 1.500 percentage points, the sum rounded up to the nearest 0.001, adjusted if necessary for the minimum and maximum rate limitations for this loan, resulting in an initial interest rate of 6.500% per annum based on a year of 360 days; 17 monthly consecutive principal and interest payments in the initial amount of $23,755.22 each, beginning October 21, 2012, with interest calculated on the unpaid principal balances using an interest rate based on the minimum prime lending rate for large U.S. Money Center Commercial banks as published in the Money Rate Section of the Wall Street Journal (currently 3.250%), plus a margin of 1.500 percentage points, the sum rounded up to the nearest 0.001, adjusted if necessary for the minimum and maximum rate limitations for this loan, resulting in an initial interest rate of 6.500% per annum based on a year of 360 days; and one principal and interest payment of $679,005.90 on March 21, 2014, with interest calculated on the unpaid principal balances using an interest rate based on the minimum prime lending rate for large U.S. Money Center Commercial banks as published in the Money Rate Section of the Wall Street Journal (currently 3.250%), plus a margin of 1.500 percentage points, the sum rounded up to the nearest 0.001, adjusted if necessary for the minimum and maximum rate limitations for this loan, resulting in an initial interest rate of 6.500% per annum based on a year of 360 days. This estimated final payment is based on the assumption that all payments will be made exactly as scheduled and that the Index does not change; the actual final payment will be for all principal and accrued interest not yet paid, together with any other unpaid amounts under this Note. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any unpaid collection costs; then to any late charges; then to any accrued unpaid interest; and then to principal. Borrower will pay Lender at Lenders address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing.
VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Note is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an independent index which is the minimum prime lending rate for large U.S. Money Center Commercial banks as published in the Money Rate Section of the Wall Street Journal (the Index). The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute index after notifying Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon Borrowers request. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each day. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. The Index currently is 3.250% per annum. The interest rate or rates to be applied to the unpaid principal balance during this Note will be the rate or rates set forth herein in the Payment section. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, after the first payment stream, the interest rate for each subsequent payment stream will be effective as of the last payment date of the just-ending payment stream. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be less than 6.500% per annum or more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. Whenever increases occur in the interest rate, Lender, at its option, may do one or more of the following: (A) increase Borrowers payments to ensure Borrowers loan will pay off by its original final maturity date, (B) increase Borrowers payments to cover accruing interest, (C) increase the number of Borrowers payments, and (D) continue Borrowers payments at the same amount and increase Borrowers final payment.
INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD. Interest on this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. All interest payable under this Note is computed using this method.
PREPAYMENT. Borrower agrees that all loan fees and other prepaid finance charges are earned fully as of the date of the loan and will not be subject to refund upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of default), except as otherwise required by law. Except for the foregoing, Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrowers obligation to continue to make payments under the payment schedule. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due and may result in Borrowers making fewer payments. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked paid in full, without recourse, or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lenders rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes payment in full of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: Legacy Bank, OKC May, 2801 W Memorial, Oklahoma City, OK 73134.
LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 11 days or more late, Borrower will be charged 5.000% of the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled payment or $23.00, whichever is greater.
INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, the interest rate on this Note shall be increased by adding an additional 5.000 percentage point margin (Default Rate Margin). The Default Rate Margin shall also apply to each succeeding interest rate change that would have applied had there been no default. After maturity, or after this Note would have matured had there been no default, the Default Rate Margin will continue to apply to the final interest rate described in this Note. However, in no event will the interest rate exceed the maximum interest rate limitations under applicable law.
DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an event of default (Event of Default) under this Note:
Payment Default. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under this Note.
Other Defaults. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Note or in any of the related documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower.
Default in Favor of Third Parties. Borrower or any Grantor defaults under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of Borrowers property or Borrowers ability to repay this Note or perform Borrowers obligations under this Note or any of the related documents.
False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrowers behalf under this Note or the related documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.
Death or Insolvency. The dissolution of Borrower (regardless of whether election to continue is made), any member withdraws from Borrower, or any other termination of Borrowers existence as a going business or the death of any member, the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a receiver for any part of Borrowers property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower.
Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the loan. This includes a garnishment of any of Borrowers accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.

NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be less than 6.500% per annum or more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. Whenever increases occur in the interest rate, Lender, at its option, may do one or more of the following: (A) increase Borrowers payments to ensure Borrowers loan will pay off by its original final maturity date, (B) increase Borrowers payments to cover accruing interest, (C) increase the number of Borrowers payments, and (D) continue Borrowers payments at the same amount and increase Borrowers final payment.
INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD. Interest on this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. All interest payable under this Note is computed using this method.
PREPAYMENT. Borrower agrees that all loan fees and other prepaid finance charges are earned fully as of the date of the loan and will not be subject to refund upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of default), except as otherwise required by law. Except for the foregoing, Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrowers obligation to continue to make payments under the payment schedule. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due and may result in Borrowers making fewer payments. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked paid in full, without recourse, or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lenders rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes payment in full of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: Legacy Bank, OKC May, 2801 W Memorial, Oklahoma City, OK 73134.
LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 11 days or more late, Borrower will be charged 5.000% of the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled payment or $23.00, whichever is greater.
INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, the interest rate on this Note shall be increased by adding an additional 5.000 percentage point margin (Default Rate Margin). The Default Rate Margin shall also apply to each succeeding interest rate change that would have applied had there been no default. After maturity, or after this Note would have matured had there been no default, the Default Rate Margin will continue to apply to the final interest rate described in this Note. However, in no event will the interest rate exceed the maximum interest rate limitations under applicable law.
DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an event of default (Event of Default) under this Note:
Payment Default. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under this Note.
Other Defaults. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Note or in any of the related documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower.
Default in Favor of Third Parties. Borrower or any Grantor defaults under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of Borrowers property or Borrowers ability to repay this Note or perform Borrowers obligations under this Note or any of the related documents.
False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrowers behalf under this Note or the related documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.
Death or Insolvency. The dissolution of Borrower (regardless of whether election to continue is made), any member withdraws from Borrower, or any other termination of Borrowers existence as a going business or the death of any member, the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a receiver for any part of Borrowers property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower.
Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the loan. This includes a garnishment of any of Borrowers accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.

Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Borrowers financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of this Note is impaired.
Insecurity. Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.
Cure Provisions. If any default, other than a default in payment is curable and if Borrower has not been given a notice of a breach of the same provision of this Note within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be cured if Borrower, after Lender sends written notice to Borrower demanding cure of such default: (1) cures the default within ten (10) days; or (2) if the cure requires more than ten (10) days, immediately initiates steps which Lender deems in Lenders sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continues and completes all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.
LENDERS RIGHTS. Upon default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal balance under this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, and then Borrower will pay that amount.
ATTORNEYS FEES; EXPENSES. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help collect this Note if Borrower does not pay. Borrower will pay Lender that amount. This includes, subject to any limits under applicable law, Lenders attorneys fees and Lenders legal expenses, whether or not there is a lawsuit, including without limitation all attorneys fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), and appeals.

RIGHT OF SETOFF. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a right of setoff in all Borrowers accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account). This includes all accounts Borrower holds jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open in the future. However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for which setoff would be prohibited by law. Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the indebtedness against any and all such accounts, and, at Lenders option, to administratively freeze all such accounts to allow Lender to protect Lenders charge and setoff rights provided in this paragraph.

DOCUMENTATION/INFORMATION FEE. Lender may require additional documentation or information related to this Indebtedness from the Borrower for loan security or file documentation as deemed appropriate and at the sole discretion of Lender or in accordance with covenants described in the Business Loan Agreement. In the event Borrower fails to provide requested documentation or information within 60 days from written request by Lender, a fee may be assessed for each incidence in an amount which is the greater of $100.00 or .03% (.0003) for each incidence. Said fee, if not paid when incurred, will be added to the principal of this Indebtedness.
TIMELY ADVANCES. After appropriate written request from Borrower for an advance of funds on this indebtedness, Lender shall have a reasonable time to consider approval and process of the advance request. While Lender will use reasonable effort to fund the advance as soon as feasible, Borrower understands and agrees that a reasonable time may be up to 72 hours from the time of delivery of the request, not including non-business days, such as weekends or holidays. If delays are expected beyond 72 hours, Lender will notify Borrower of the delay and expected funding date and time.
LINE OF CREDIT NON REVOLVING. This Note evidences a straight line of credit. Once the total amount of principal has been advanced, I am not entitled to further loan advances.

Lender may delay or forgo enforcing any of its rights or remedies under this Note without losing them. Borrower and any other person who signs, guarantees or endorses this Note, to the extent allowed by law, waive presentment, demand for payment, and notice of dishonor. Upon any change in the terms of this Note, and unless otherwise expressly stated in writing, no party who signs this Note, whether as maker, guarantor, accommodation maker or endorser, shall be released from liability. All such parties agree that Lender may renew or extend (repeatedly and for any length of time) this loan or release any party or guarantor or collateral; or impair, fail to realize upon or perfect Lenders security interest in the collateral; and take any other action deemed necessary by Lender without the consent of or notice to anyone.

PROMISSORY NOTE
(Note #2)
$1,000,000.00 | Effective September 7, 2010 |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, FOUNDATION BARIATRIC HOSPITAL OF SAN ANTONIO, L.L.C., a Texas limited liability company, d/b/a FOUNDATION SURGICAL HOSPITAL OF SAN ANTONIO, LLC (hereinafter Borrower), unconditionally promises to pay to the order of LEGACY BANK (Lender), at 2801 W. Memorial Road, Oklahoma City, OK 73134, or at such other place as may be designated in writing by the holder of this promissory note, the principal sum of ONE MILLION AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00), together with interest thereon at the rate hereinafter specified:
INTEREST RATE. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of this loan at the rate of Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus one percent (1.0%) per annum, adjusted on date of change. Interest on this Note shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year. The Wall Street Journal Prime Rate (WSJP) means that annual rate of interest published in The Wall Street Journal or a similar substitute rate determined by the Lender in its sole discretion as most nearly approximating that rate in the case this prime rate is no longer published. Each change in the WSJP shall become effective without notice (which notice is hereby waived) on the date of change. In no event shall the interest rate be less than seven percent (7.0%) per annum.
PAYMENT TERMS. Beginning on October 15, 2010, and on the fifteenth (15th) day of each month thereafter through the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay Lender monthly installment payments of principal and interest based upon a sixty (60) month amortization. Lender may adjust the monthly payments, as needed, to maintain the scheduled amortization period. On the Maturity Date of September 7, 2015, all accrued interest and unpaid principal shall be due and payable in full.
DEFAULT INTEREST: Any sum not paid when due shall bear interest at a rate of six percent (6%) per annum greater than the per annum interest rate prevailing on this Note at the time the unpaid amount came due, but in no event at a rate less than fourteen percent (14%) per annum.
Of even date herewith the Borrower and Lender have entered into that certain First Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (Agreement). This Promissory Note is defined in the Agreement as the Note #2. Unless otherwise defined herein, all words and phrases with their initial letter capitalized shall be afforded the meaning given in the Agreement.
This Note is executed, delivered, and accepted not in payment of but to restructure and modify the terms of that certain Promissory Note dated August 11, 2010, in the original principal amount of not to exceed Two Million and 00/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) (Prior Note No. 2).
The Lenders records of advances and repayments will be prima facie evidence of the amount owed by the Borrower to the Lender with respect to this Note, in the absence of manifest error.
All payments made upon this Note shall be applied first to the outstanding accrued interest, if any, through the date of payment and the balance, if any, to the principal balance due and owing under this Note.
Borrower hereby waives any and all suretyship type defenses to payment of this Note.
Borrower agrees that if, and as often as, this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or to defend or enforce any of the Lenders rights hereunder or under any instrument securing payment of this Note, Borrower shall pay the Lender its reasonable attorneys fees and all court costs and other expenses incurred in connection therewith.
It is expressly understood that time is of the essence of this Note, and if the Borrower shall fail to pay, within ten (10) days of when due, any amount payable under the provisions of this Note or fail to perform any other obligation to the Lender, or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Agreement such event shall constitute a default hereunder (any of the foregoing being hereinafter referred to as Default). Upon Default (i) this Note and all other liabilities together with all accrued but unpaid interest hereon and thereon, at the option of the Lender, and without notice, demand or presentment, or notice of intent to accelerate to the Borrower or any other person or party, may be declared, and thereupon immediately shall become, due and payable; and (ii) the Lender may exercise, from time to time, any and all other rights, remedies and recourses now or hereafter existing in equity, at law, herein or under the Agreements, any other Loan Documents between Borrower and Lender, by virtue of statute or otherwise, including but not limited to, all rights and remedies available to it under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of Oklahoma, and the right to foreclose any and all liens and security interests securing this Note. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Agreement to the contrary, this Note and all other liabilities of Borrower to Lender, at the option of Lender, may be accelerated, without notice or demand of any kind in the event Borrower fails to make when due any payments to Lender as required herein or in the Agreement.
This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty. At any time additional payments may be made to be credited to principal. Monthly payments shall not be reduced as a result of any prepayments.
The invalidity, or unenforceability in particular circumstances, of any provision of this Note shall not extend beyond such provision or circumstances, and no other provision of this instrument shall be affected thereby.
Borrower expressly stipulates and agrees that it is the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve, or receive a greater
-2-
amount of interest than under state law) and that this section shall control every other covenant and agreement in this Note and the other Loan Documents. If the applicable law (state or federal) is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Note or under any of the other Loan Documents, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received with respect to the Note, or if Lenders exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Note, or if any prepayment by Borrower results in Borrower having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is Borrowers and Lenders express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of the Note (or, if the Note has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Note and the other Loan Documents immediately shall be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new documents, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder or thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the loan proceeds evidenced by the Note shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Note until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Note does not exceed the maximum rate permitted under applicable law from time to time in effect and applicable to the Note for so long as the Note is outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.
This Note, to the extent of the full face amount hereof, evidences indebtedness of Borrower to Lender. This Note is issued by the Borrower as part of a commercial transaction and no part of this loan is for a personal use.
Borrower hereby consents to the jurisdiction and/or venue of any state district court or federal district court within the State of Oklahoma, as Lender may elect with respect to any action involving this Note.
BORROWER HEREBY VOLUNTARILY, AND KNOWINGLY, IRREVOCABLY, AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) BETWEEN THE BORROWER AND LENDER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS NOTE OR ANY RELATED LOAN DOCUMENT.
Borrower stipulates and agrees that the Lender may, at its sole discretion, assign this Note to any such person it may select, upon such terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate, and that such assignee shall thereafter become the holder of this Note and shall be entitled to enforce all rights, remedies, and other benefits which shall or may inure to the benefit of the Lender.
Borrower further stipulates, represents and agrees that this instrument evidences the valid, enforceable, and binding obligation of the Borrower to the Lender in accordance with
-3-
the terms and provisions hereof, without any defense (as of the date of this Note) to the enforcement thereof, whether denominated as affirmative defense, offset, counterclaim, or otherwise, and whether at law or in equity. Borrower hereby waives all defenses (existing as of the date of this Note and/or based upon acts or omissions occurring prior to the date of this Note) to the enforcement of this Note.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower have executed this instrument this 7TH day of September, 2010, and made effective as of the date first above appearing.
