(iv)                              any and all claims of any third party for alleged liabilities or obligations of Seller related to or occurring during the period prior to the Closing, other than those specifically assumed by Buyer hereunder as Assumed Liabilities;

The Buyer agrees that, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, each Principal’s liability for any Losses under this Section 8.1(a) shall be limited to thirty percent (30%) of the aggregate amount of such Losses (without limitation, the Seller’s liability for any Losses under this Section 8.1 shall be unlimited).

 

(b)                                 With respect to the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 9 below, each Principal hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its officers, directors, members, employees, agents, representatives and affiliates from and against all Losses based upon, arising out of or resulting from such Principals breach thereof.

 

8.2                               Indemnification of Seller.  Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its officers, shareholders, employees, agents, representatives and affiliates and the Principals from and against all Losses based upon, arising out of or resulting from:

 

(a)                                 any breach of Buyer’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein or in any Transaction Document or in any other agreement or document delivered to Seller pursuant hereto;

 

22



 

(b)                                 any obligation, contract or liability constituting one of the Assumed Liabilities and Assigned Agreements, but only to the extent such obligation, contract or liability accrues, or is otherwise attributable to the period on and after Closing Date;

 

(c)                                  any and all claims of any third party for alleged liabilities or obligations of the Buyer related to or occurring during the period after the Closing Date;

8.3                               Notice and Opportunity to Defend.  If any party (the “Indemnitee”) receives notice of any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which any other party is obligated to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) pursuant to Section 8.1 or 8.2, the Indemnitee shall promptly, (and in any event within five (5) business days after receiving notice of the claim) give the Indemnifying Party notice thereof; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice shall not be a condition precedent to any liability of the Indemnifying Party under the provisions for indemnification contained in this Agreement except to the extent the failure to deliver such notice prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such proceeding.  The Indemnifying Party may compromise and defend, at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, any such matter involving the asserted liability of the Indemnitee.  In any event, the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party’s counsel shall cooperate in the compromise of, or defense against, any such asserted liability; provided, however, that Indemnitee shall not compromise or settle any such matter without Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent.  The Indemnitee, at its own expense, can choose to have its counsel participate in the defense of such asserted liability and/or related settlement determinations, provided, however, the Indemnifying Party’s counsel shall control such defense and/or related settlement determination.  If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any claim, the Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnifying Party any books, records or other documents within its control that are necessary or appropriate to such defense.

 

8.4                               Payment.  The Indemnifying Party shall pay the Indemnitee the amount of established claims for indemnification within thirty (30) days after the establishment thereof (the “Due Date”).  Any amounts not paid by the Indemnifying Party when due under this Section 9.4 shall bear interest from the Due Date thereof until the date paid at a rate equal to three (3) points above the interest announced from time to time by Citibank, N.A. as its prime or base rate of interest.

 

8.5                               Limitations.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of Seller and Principals pursuant to this Section 8 shall be limited as follows:

 

(a)                                 Seller and the Principals shall only be required to indemnify Buyer to the extent that Losses, individually or in the aggregate, exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (the “Hurdle Rate”) and, in such event, the indemnifying party shall be required to provide indemnification for the amount of Losses, irrespective of the Hurdle Rate; provided that

 

23



 

Losses shall accumulate until such time as they exceed the Hurdle Rate, whereupon the party to be indemnified shall be entitled to seek indemnification for the full amount of such Losses subject to the limitations provided below.

 

(b)                                 The aggregate amount of the Losses for which Seller and the Principals shall be liable with respect to breaches of the representations and warranties made in this Agreement by the Seller and/or any Principals shall not exceed the sum of the Purchase Price plus the amount of all Assumed Liabilities.

 

(c)                                  Indemnification claims shall be reduced by and to the extent that an Indemnitee shall actually receives proceeds under insurance policies, risk sharing pools, or similar arrangements specifically as a result of, and in compensation for, the subject matter of an indemnification claim by such Indemnitee; provided that the availability of such proceeds for an indemnification claim shall not be a defense to such claim or be utilized as a means of delaying indemnification payments hereunder.

 

9.                                      Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation.

 

9.1                               Commencing on the Closing Date and continuing until five (5) years from the Closing Date, Seller and each Principal hereby agrees that it, he or she shall not permit any person or entity, directly or indirectly (alone or together with others) controlling, controlled by, affiliated with or related to Seller (including each Principal) to, directly or indirectly (including through ownership, management, operation or control of any other person or entity, or participation in the ownership, management, operation or control of any other person or entity, or by being connected with or having any interest in, as a stockholder, agent, consultant or partner, any other person or entity):

 

(a)                                 engage in the ownership, operation, control or management of radiation therapy and/or urology facilities or otherwise engage in the provision of radiation therapy and/or urology services (whether as a sole practitioner, an employee, independent contractor or otherwise or as a separate business or in conjunction with each other or with any business, practice or hospital) (a “Competing Business”) within the Florida counties of Sarasota and Manatee (the “Service Area”);

 

(b)                                 have any interest, whether as owner, stockholder, member, partner, director, officer, consultant or otherwise, in any Competing Business in the Service Area; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not prevent Seller from owning stock in any Competing Business listed on a national securities exchange or traded in the over-the-counter market; provided that such Seller does not own more than an aggregate of one percent (1%) of the stock of such entity.

 

Notwithstanding Section 9.1(a) and 9.1(b) above, Seller and its Principals shall be permitted to own and operate a medical practice that engages in the provision of urology services and related ancillary services (excluding radiation therapy services) provided that such professional services are performed solely by George B. Rucker, M.D. and his non-physician` staff.

9.2                               Seller and each Principal acknowledge that the restrictive covenants contained herein have unique value to Buyer, the breach of which cannot be adequately compensated in an action of law.  Seller and each Principal further agree that, in the event of the breach of the restrictive covenants contained herein, Buyer shall be entitled to obtain appropriate equitable relief, including, without limitation, a permanent injunction or similar court order enjoining Seller and/or a Principal from violating any of such provisions, and that pending the hearing and the decision on the application for permanent equitable relief, Buyer shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction.  The prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement from the other party of its reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) of, or related to, such action or proceeding.  No such remedy shall be construed to be the exclusive remedy of Buyer and any and all such remedies shall be held and construed to be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies, whether at law or in equity, otherwise available under the terms of this Agreement, at common law, or under federal, state or local statutes, rules and regulations.

 

9.3                               The restrictions set forth in this Section 9 shall not apply to any physician that is a party to a Senior Urologist’s Employment Agreement, effective as of the Closing Date (a “Senior Urologist”), by and between such Senior Urologist and the Buyer, where the restrictions contained in Section 8(A) and Section 8(B) in such Employment Agreement are not applicable pursuant to Section 8(F)(B) thereof in the event that such Employment Agreement is terminated by such Senior Urologist for cause in accordance with Section 16(D) thereof.  Further, the restrictions set forth in Section 9.1 shall not apply to any physician that elects to “buy out” such physician’s restrictive covenants set forth in this Agreement and the Employment Agreement as such restrictions relate to urology pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 8(G) of the Employment Agreement, including payment to Employer an amount equal to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000).  Additionally, if a physician’s Employment Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 16(C)(v) therein, the restrictions set forth in Section 9.1 shall not apply as such restrictions relate to urology.  Other than as explicitly set forth in the preceding sentences, the parties hereto agree that the inapplicability or non-enforceability of any of the provisions of Section 8(A) and/or Section 8(B) of such Employment Agreement shall not, in any manner, affect the applicability and enforceability of any of the terms of this Section 9.

22

8.3                               Notice and Opportunity to Defend.  If any party (the “Indemnitee”) receives notice of any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which any other party is obligated to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) pursuant to Section 8.1 or 8.2, the Indemnitee shall promptly, (and in any event within five (5) business days after receiving notice of the claim) give the Indemnifying Party notice thereof; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice shall not be a condition precedent to any liability of the Indemnifying Party under the provisions for indemnification contained in this Agreement except to the extent the failure to deliver such notice prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such proceeding.  The Indemnifying Party may compromise and defend, at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, any such matter involving the asserted liability of the Indemnitee.  In any event, the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party’s counsel shall cooperate in the compromise of, or defense against, any such asserted liability; provided, however, that Indemnitee shall not compromise or settle any such matter without Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent.  The Indemnitee, at its own expense, can choose to have its counsel participate in the defense of such

(a)                                 Seller and the Principals shall only be required to indemnify Buyer to the extent that Losses, individually or in the aggregate, exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (the “Hurdle Rate”) and, in such event, the indemnifying party shall be required to provide indemnification for the amount of Losses, irrespective of the Hurdle Rate; provided that Losses shall accumulate until such time as they exceed the Hurdle Rate, whereupon the party to be indemnified shall be entitled to seek indemnification for the full amount of such Losses subject to the limitations provided below.

 

(b)                                 The aggregate amount of the Losses for which Seller and the Principals shall be liable with respect to breaches of the representations and warranties made in this Agreement by the Seller and/or any Principals shall not exceed the sum of the Purchase Price plus the amount of all Assumed Liabilities.

 

(c)                                  Indemnification claims shall be reduced by and to the extent that an Indemnitee shall actually receives proceeds under insurance policies, risk sharing pools, or similar arrangements specifically as a result of, and in compensation for, the subject matter of an indemnification claim by such Indemnitee; provided that the availability of such proceeds for an indemnification claim shall not be a defense to such claim or be utilized as a means of delaying indemnification payments hereunder.

9.             Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation.

 

9.1          Commencing on the Closing Date and continuing until five (5) years from the Closing Date, Seller and each Principal hereby agrees that it, he or she shall not permit any person or entity, directly or indirectly (alone or together with others) controlling, controlled by, affiliated with or related to Seller (including each Principal) to, directly or indirectly (including through ownership, management, operation or control of any other person or entity, or participation in the ownership, management, operation or control of any other person or entity, or by being connected with or having any interest in, as a stockholder, agent, consultant or partner, any other person or entity):

contractor or otherwise or as a separate business or in conjunction with each other or with any business, practice or hospital) (a “Competing Business”) within the Florida counties of Sarasota and Manatee (the “Service Area”);

 

(b)           have any interest, whether as owner, stockholder, member, partner, director, officer, consultant or otherwise, in any Competing Business in the Service Area; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not prevent Seller from owning stock in any Competing Business listed on a national securities exchange or traded in the over-the-counter market; provided that such Seller does not own more than an aggregate of one percent (1%) of the stock of such entity.

 

9.2          Seller and each Principal acknowledge that the restrictive covenants contained herein have unique value to Buyer, the breach of which cannot be adequately compensated in an action of law.  Seller and each Principal further agree that, in the event of the breach of the restrictive covenants contained herein, Buyer shall be entitled to obtain appropriate equitable relief, including, without limitation, a permanent injunction or similar court order enjoining Seller and/or a Principal from violating any of such provisions, and that pending the hearing and the decision on the application for permanent equitable relief, Buyer shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction.  The prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement from the other party of its reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) of, or related to, such action or proceeding.  No such remedy shall be construed to be the exclusive remedy of Buyer and any and all such remedies shall be held and construed to be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies, whether at law or in equity, otherwise available under the terms of this Agreement, at common law, or under federal, state or local statutes, rules and regulations.

RECITALS

 

A.            Buyer has entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement executed and delivered contemporaneously herewith (“Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Seller and Florida Urology Specialists, P.A. (the “Corporation”), a Florida professional corporation, pursuant to which Buyer shall purchase the assets of the medical practice (the “Practice”) owned by the Corporation.

 

B.            The Corporation engages in the business of providing patient care services in the specialties of urology and radiation therapy.

 

C.            Seller has substantial goodwill arising from his reputation among professional providers and patients, extensive experience in the practice of medicine, and business relationships arising from the conduct and operation of the Practice (collectively, the “Goodwill”).

 

D.            Seller wishes to sell, transfer and assign substantially all of his Goodwill as it relates to the provision of radiation therapy patient care services (the “RT Goodwill”) to Buyer, and Buyer wishes to purchase and acquire Seller’s RT Goodwill , on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows;

 

1.             Sale of RT Goodwill.

 

(a)           Definitions.  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

 

(b)           Transfer of RT Goodwill.  On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Seller will sell, transfer, convey and assign to Buyer, and Buyer will purchase and pay for, at the Closing (as defined below), all of Seller’s right, title and interest in the RT Goodwill resulting from Seller’s practice of medicine and association with the Practice.

 

(c)           Purchase Price.  As consideration for the sale of the RT Goodwill, at the Closing (as such term is hereinafter defined), Buyer shall pay to the Seller a purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) equal to One Million Nine Hundred Twenty Eight Thousand Six Hundred Seventy Six and 56/100 Dollars ($1,928,676.56) payable as follows:

 



 

(i)            for purposes of having a portion of funds that may be required to satisfy any of Seller’s indemnity obligations under Section 8 of the Asset Purchase Agreement and pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement), Buyer shall deposit an amount equal to One Hundred Ninety Five Thousand Dollars ($195,000) of the Purchase Price (the “Escrow Amount”) with Blalock Walters, P.A. (the “Escrow Agent”).  The Escrow Agreement shall provide, among other things, that unless Buyer has previously provided Seller with written notice that Buyer intends to seek indemnification from Seller pursuant to Section 8, below, one-half (1/2) of the Escrow Amount then held in escrow shall be released to Seller on the ninth (9th) month anniversary of the Closing Date and the remaining one-half (1/2) of the Escrow Amount then held in escrow shall be released to Seller on the eighteenth (18th) month anniversary of the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no release of the Escrow Amount if the balance then held in escrow is insufficient to cover any claims of indemnification for which Buyer has provided Seller with written notice thereof; and

 

(ii)           at Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller One Million Seven Hundred Thirty Three Thousand Six Hundred Seventy Six and 56/100 Dollars ($1,733,676.56) (the “Closing Payment”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account(s) as Seller shall designate in writing not less than five (5) days prior to the Closing.

(a)           Standing of Seller.  Seller is licensed to practice medicine, and is in good standing to do so, in the State of Florida. Seller is the valid owner of the RT Goodwill to be transferred under this Agreement.

 

(b)           Authority.  Seller has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform his obligations hereunder and to consummate the transaction contemplated hereby, including without limitations to sell and transfer (pursuant to this Agreement) the RT Goodwill. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Seller and constitutes legal, valid and binding obligations of Seller enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms.

 

(c)           RT Goodwill Owned by Seller.  The sale of the RT Goodwill by Seller to Buyer under this Agreement will effectively convey to Buyer substantially all of Seller’s RT Goodwill (with a portion of Seller’s RT Goodwill remaining with the Corporation) for the purpose of promoting and advancing the interests of the Practice after the Closing.  Seller will use his best efforts to ensure Seller’s RT Goodwill will transfer to Buyer.

 

(d)           No Prior Transfer of Seller’s RT Goodwill or Customer Lists.  Seller warrants that he has not, prior to this Agreement, sold, transferred, conveyed or assigned any of his RT Goodwill to any other person or entity.

(d)           Invalid Provisions.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Law, and if the rights or obligations of any party hereto under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof.

 

(e)           Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Florida applicable to a contract executed and performed in such State, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.

A.            Buyer has entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement executed and delivered contemporaneously herewith (“Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Seller and Florida Urology Specialists, P.A. (the “Corporation”), a Florida professional corporation, pursuant to which Buyer shall purchase the assets of the medical practice (the “Practice”) owned by the Corporation.

 

B.            The Corporation engages in the business of providing patient care services in the specialties of urology and radiation therapy.

 

C.            Seller has substantial goodwill arising from his reputation among professional providers and patients, extensive experience in the practice of medicine, and business relationships arising from the conduct and operation of the Practice (collectively, the “Goodwill”).

 

D.            Seller wishes to sell, transfer and assign substantially all of his Goodwill as it relates to the provision of radiation therapy patient care services (the “RT Goodwill”) to Buyer, and Buyer wishes to purchase and acquire Seller’s RT Goodwill , on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows;

 

1.             Sale of RT Goodwill.

 

(a)           Definitions.  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

 

(b)           Transfer of RT Goodwill.  On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Seller will sell, transfer, convey and assign to Buyer, and Buyer will purchase and pay for, at the Closing (as defined below), all of Seller’s right, title and interest in the RT Goodwill resulting from Seller’s practice of medicine and association with the Practice.

 

(c)           Purchase Price.  As consideration for the sale of the RT Goodwill, at the Closing (as such term is hereinafter defined), Buyer shall pay to the Seller a purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) equal to One Million Nine Hundred Twenty Eight Thousand Six Hundred Seventy Six and 56/100 Dollars ($1,928,676.56) payable as follows:

 



 

(i)            for purposes of having a portion of funds that may be required to satisfy any of Seller’s indemnity obligations under Section 8 of the Asset Purchase Agreement and pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement), Buyer shall deposit an amount equal to One Hundred Ninety Five Thousand Dollars ($195,000) of the Purchase Price (the “Escrow Amount”) with Blalock Walters, P.A. (the “Escrow Agent”).  The Escrow Agreement shall provide, among other things, that unless Buyer has previously provided Seller with written notice that Buyer intends to seek indemnification from Seller pursuant to Section 8, below, one-half (1/2) of the Escrow Amount then held in escrow shall be released to Seller on the ninth (9th) month anniversary of the Closing Date and the remaining one-half (1/2) of the Escrow Amount then held in escrow shall be released to Seller on the eighteenth (18th) month anniversary of the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no release of the Escrow Amount if the balance then held in escrow is insufficient to cover any claims of indemnification for which Buyer has provided Seller with written notice thereof; and

 

(ii)           at Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller One Million Seven Hundred Thirty Three Thousand Six Hundred Seventy Six and 56/100 Dollars ($1,733,676.56) (the “Closing Payment”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account(s) as Seller shall designate in writing not less than five (5) days prior to the Closing.

 

2.             Representations and Warranties of Seller.

 

(a)           Standing of Seller.  Seller is licensed to practice medicine, and is in good standing to do so, in the State of Florida. Seller is the valid owner of the RT Goodwill to be transferred under this Agreement.

 

(b)           Authority.  Seller has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform his obligations hereunder and to consummate the transaction contemplated hereby, including without limitations to sell and transfer (pursuant to this Agreement) the RT Goodwill. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Seller and constitutes legal, valid and binding obligations of Seller enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms.

 

(c)           RT Goodwill Owned by Seller.  The sale of the RT Goodwill by Seller to Buyer under this Agreement will effectively convey to Buyer substantially all of Seller’s RT Goodwill (with a portion of Seller’s RT Goodwill remaining with the Corporation) for the purpose of promoting and advancing the interests of the Practice after the Closing.  Seller will use his best efforts to ensure Seller’s RT Goodwill will transfer to Buyer.

 

(d)           No Prior Transfer of Seller’s RT Goodwill or Customer Lists.  Seller warrants that he has not, prior to this Agreement, sold, transferred, conveyed or assigned any of his RT Goodwill to any other person or entity.

 

3.             Indemnification. Any claim for indemnification arising or resulting from any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Parties under this Agreement shall be deemed to be an indemnifiable claim pursuant to Article 8 of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

4.             Miscellaneous.

 

(a)           Conditions to Closing.  The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) must occur subsequent to or simultaneously with the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement that Buyer has entered into with the Corporation. All of the terms, conditions, representations and warranties contained in the Asset Purchase Agreement shall be true and binding and shall be merged into this Agreement.

 

(b)           Notices.  All notices, requests and other communications hereunder must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given only if delivered in accordance with Section 15.1 of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

 

(c)           Entire Agreement.  This Agreement supersedes all prior discussions and agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

 

(d)           Invalid Provisions.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Law, and if the rights or obligations of any party hereto under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof.

 

(e)           Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Florida applicable to a contract executed and performed in such State, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.

 

(f)            Execution; Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original. The signature by any Party on any one of the counterparts shall bind such Party at such time as each of the Parties has signed and delivered to the other Party at least one (1) counterpart.  Electronic signatures shall be sufficient for execution of this Agreement.
