Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

The undersigned has been advised that FONAR, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware (the “Company”), is offering Subordinated Secured 7% Promissory Notes in an aggregate principal amount of up to $10 million (the “Subordinated Notes”) in a private placement offering (the “Offering”) intended to comply with Rule 506(b) of Regulation D (“Reg. D”) promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and exemptions from registration under various state “blue sky” securities laws.

 

The Company has further advised the undersigned that the Offering is being made without registration of the Subordinated Notes under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any securities law of any state of the United States or of any other jurisdiction.

 

It is understood that the Subordinated Notes are to be issued and sold in connection with the Company’s proposed acquisition (indirectly through its wholly-owned subsidiary FONAR Acquisition Sub, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the “Merger Sub”)) of FONAR Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Pubco”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), to be entered into by and among Pubco, the Company, and Merger Sub (such acquisition and the merger referred to in the Merger Agreement, the “Merger Transaction”). Upon completion of the Merger Transaction, (a) Pubco will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, (b) the business of the Company shall be that of owning and managing Pubco, (c) Pubco will cease to be an SEC-reporting company with publicly traded securities, and (d) the net income generated from the operations of Pubco will be up-streamed to the Company and the Company will utilize any such up-streamed funds to meet its debt obligations, including the Company’s obligations to the holders of the Subordinated Notes. The rights of the holders of the Subordinated Notes, including the right to receive interest payments and rights upon default, will be subject to the superior and prior rights of the Company’s bank credit facility obligations to OceanFirst Bank, N.A. A copy of the form of the proposed Merger Agreement is attached as Attachment A to this Class B Membership Interest Subscription Agreement (this “Subscription Agreement”).

 

 

 

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Subscription Agreement shall have the meanings as set forth in the Subordinated Notes, the form of which is attached as Attachment B to this Agreement.

 

Payment of principal and interest on the Subordinated Note is secured by a lien and security interest as evidenced by a Security Agreement to be executed by the Company and the holders of the Subordinated Notes. A copy of the form of proposed Security Agreement is attached as Attachment C to this Agreement.

 

Accordingly, the undersigned agrees as follows:

 

1.       Subscription. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Subscription Agreement, including Section 2 which grants the Company to accept the subscription of the undersigned made pursuant to this Subscription Agreement in whole or part and sell and issue to the undersigned only the Subject Note (as defined in Section 2), the undersigned hereby subscribes to purchase (the “Subscription”) and, on the date of the Closing referred to in Section 3 hereof, the undersigned shall purchase, from the Company, and the Company shall sell and issue to the undersigned, a Subordinated Note in the principal amount as set forth on the Signature Page to this Agreement to the extent accepted by the Company, as set forth on the Acceptance Page to this Agreement. In the Offering, the Subordinated Notes are being sold “at par.” Accordingly, the purchase price for a Subordinated Note shall be equal in amount to the principal amount of the Subordinated Note being purchased.

 

2.       Acceptance of Subscription and Issuance of Subordinated Notes. It is understood and agreed that the Company shall have the sole right, in its complete discretion, to accept or reject the Subscription, in whole or in part, for any reason and that the Subscription shall be deemed to be accepted by the Company only when this Agreement is signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company and delivered to the undersigned in connection with the Closing referred to in Section 3 hereof. In the Offering, subscriptions, including the undersigned’s Subscription, need not be accepted in the order received by the Company, and the Subordinated Notes subject to the Offering may be allocated among the subscribers, including the undesigned, in such prorations as the Company may determine and the Company may choose to only issue a Subordinated Note to the undersigned in a lesser principal amount than the undersigned desires to purchase as set forth in Section 1 above. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to issue any of the Subordinated Notes to any person who is a resident of a jurisdiction in which the issuance of Subordinated Notes to such person would constitute a violation of the securities, “blue sky,” or other similar laws of such jurisdiction (collectively, the “State Securities Laws”). The Subordinated Note subject to the Subscription, in the principal amount as accepted by the Company, is referred to in this Subscription Agreement as the “Subject Note” and the aggregate purchase price for the Subject Note is referred to in this Agreement as the “Aggregate Purchase Price.”

The undersigned’s Subscription is irrevocable by the undersigned and may not be rescinded by the undersigned. The only conditions to Closing are set forth in Section 7 below.

 

3.       The Closing. At least five Business Days before the anticipated Closing Date, the Company shall deliver written notice to the undersigned (the “Closing Notice”) specifying (a) the principal amount of the Subject Note, (b) the Aggregate Purchase Price, (c) the anticipated Closing Date, and (d) the wire instructions for delivery of the Aggregate Purchase Price. No later than two Business Days after the giving of the Closing Notice, the undersigned shall deliver to the Company such information as is reasonably requested in the Closing Notice in order for the Company to issue the Subject Note to the undersigned. The undersigned shall deliver to the escrow agent for the Offering, Computershare Limited (the “Escrow Agent”), not later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the date that is two Business Days immediately preceding the anticipated Closing Date set forth in the Closing Notice, the Aggregate Purchase Price payable to the Company in immediately available funds via wire transfer to the account specified in the Closing Notice. Within five calendar days of the Closing, the Company will issue the Subject Note to the undersigned and revise its books and records to reflect the issuance of the Subject Note to the undersigned, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions (other than those arising under this Subscription Agreement, state or federal securities laws, and any Senior Bank Documents (as defined below)), in the name of the undersigned.

 

4.       Payment for Subordinated Notes.

 

(a)       Payment of the Aggregate Purchase Price must be received by the Escrow Agent from the undersigned at or prior to the Closing.

 

(b)       In the event that the Closing is consummated but the Merger is not consummated under and pursuant to the Merger Agreement or otherwise, then the payment of any Aggregate Purchase Price will be deemed void ab initio and not to have occurred and the Escrow Agent shall return such paid Aggregate Purchase Price to the undersigned; provided, however, the Escrow Agent shall, upon written request of the Company, retain and tender to the Company 1% of such paid Aggregate Purchase Price, to pay any and all costs and fees paid by the Company or Merger Sub in connection with the formation of the Company or related to the entry into and the Company’s obligations under the Merger Agreement.

 

5.       Representations and Warranties of the Company. As of the Closing, the Company shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to the undersigned that:

 

(a)       The Company is duly formed and validly existing under the laws of Delaware, with full power and authority to conduct its intended business (i.e., to own, operate, and management Pubco) and to own its assets; and has the limited liability company power and authority to operate its intended business and to own, lease, and operate its existing and intended properties, and is duly qualified and is in good standing as a foreign limited liability company authorized to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or its ownership or leasing of property requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

(b)       The Subordinated Notes, including the Subject Note, have been duly authorized, and, when issued and paid for, will constitute the legal, valid, and binding obligations of the Company.

The Merger Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and Merger Sub and, assuming due execution and delivery by Pubco, constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Company and Merger Sub, enforceable against the Company and Merger Sub in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.

 

(d)       No consent of any governmental entity is required to be obtained or made by the Company or Merger Sub in connection with the execution, delivery, and performance by the Company and Merger Sub of this Agreement or the consummation by the Company and Merger Sub of the Merger Transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement, except for: (i) the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware; (ii) the filing with the SEC of (A) Pubco’s Proxy Statement in definitive form in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (B) such reports under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as may be required in connection with this Agreement, the Merger Transaction, and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (iii) such consents as may be required under applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws and the securities laws of any foreign country; (v) the other governmental approvals, if any; and (vi) such other consents which if not obtained or made would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Company’s and Merger Sub’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement.

Risk Factors

 

The Company is newly formed, has no operations and will be dependent upon the operations of Pubco. The Company was only recently formed to serve as a vehicle to acquire the outstanding securities of Pubco. The Company does not intend to have any operations or generate any revenue from any sources other than the operations of Pubco. Therefore, investors in the Subordinated Notes will be completely dependent upon the operations and financial performance of Pubco in order for the Company to make payment on its obligations, including the monthly payments of interest and principal payments when due.

 

The Subordinated Notes are to be subordinated to secured debt to be incurred in connection with bank debt created in connection with the Merger Transaction and future senior debt and secured debt. It is anticipated that, in connection with the consummation of the Merger Transaction, the Company will receive loans and extensions of credit from OceanFirst Bank, N.A. (“OFB”) in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $35 million, which debt is to be secured and guaranteed by Pubco and certain subsidiaries of Pubco (the “OFB Debt”). The Company’s obligations to make payments on the Subordinated Notes are subordinate to the Company’s payment obligations under the OFB Debt and the security interests in favor of OFB. In addition, the Subordinated Notes do not prohibit the Company from effectively being subordinated to any new debt the Company may incur while the Subordinated Notes are outstanding. The terms of the OFB Debt will allow the Company to make regularly scheduled monthly payments of non-default interest on the Subordinated Notes so long as the Company is in full compliance with the covenants and agreements contained in the OFB Debt documents, including equity-to-debt, reserves, income, and other ratios and requirements. Further, in the event that the Company is declared bankrupt, become insolvent or are liquidated or reorganized, any debt that ranks ahead of the Subordinated Notes will be entitled to be paid in full from our assets before any payment may be made with respect to the Subordinated Notes. In such an event, the holders of the Subordinated Notes will participate in the Company’s remaining assets ratably with all holders of indebtedness that is deemed to be of the same ranking as the Subordinated Notes based upon the respective amounts owed to each holder or creditor. In any of the foregoing events, the Company may not have sufficient assets to pay amounts due on the Subordinated Notes. As a result, if holders of the Subordinated Notes receive any payments, they may receive less, ratably, than holders of senior indebtedness.

 

The subordinated notes do not restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, to repurchase the Company’s securities or to take other actions that could negatively impact holders of the Subordinated Notes. The Company is not restricted by the terms of the Subordinated Notes from incurring additional debt, including additional senior debt, secured debt, or debt ranking on a parity with the Subordinated Notes, in the future, or from repurchasing the Company’s equity securities. The Company’s ability to recapitalize, incur additional debt, and take a number of other actions that are not limited by the terms of the Subordinated Notes could have the effect of diminishing our ability to make payments on the Subordinated Notes when due.

 

Statutory, contractual, regulatory, or other restrictions also limit the ability of the Company’s subsidiaries, including Pubco to pay dividends or make distributions, payments, loans, or advances to the Company. Dividends, distributions, loans, and advances would be the sole source of funds the Company has in order to make payments due under the Subordinated Notes. Accordingly, for these reasons, the Company may not have access to any assets or cash flows of the Company’s subsidiaries to make payments on the Subordinated Notes.

 

 

 

The Company has made only limited covenants in the Subordinated Notes and the subscription agreement for the Subordinated Notes, and these limited covenants may not protect an investment in the Notes. The Subordinated Notes do not:

 

require the Company to maintain any financial ratios or specific levels of net worth, revenues, income, cash flows, or liquidity and, accordingly, does not protect holders of the Subordinated Notes in the event that the Company experiences significant adverse changes in its financial condition or results of operations;

 

limit the Company incurring of indebtedness that would effectively rank senior to, or on a parity with, the Subordinated Notes;

 

restrict the Company’s subsidiaries’ ability to issue securities or incur indebtedness or obligations that would be senior to the Company’s equity in such subsidiaries;

 

restrict the Company’s ability to pay dividends or other distributions and payments on the Company’s equity securities, or to redeem or repurchase the Company’s equity our securities;

 

restrict the Company or its subsidiaries from pledging their respective assets; or

 

restrict our ability to make investments.

 

Furthermore, the Subordinated Notes do not contain protections in the event of a change in control and similar transactions involving the Company. The Company could engage in many types of transactions, such as acquisitions, refinancings, or recapitalizations that could substantially affect the Company’s capital structure and the value of the Subordinated Notes.

 

For these reasons, a potential investor in the Subordinated Notes should consider the covenants and limitation or lack thereof in the Subordinated Notes as a significant factor in evaluating whether to invest in the Subordinated Notes.

 

The subordinated notes will not be insured by the FDIC. The subordinated notes will not be deposits and will not be insured by the FDIC or any other governmental agency.

 

The price at which a holder of a Subordinated Note will be able to sell such Subordinated Note prior to maturity will depend on a number of factors and may be substantially less than the amount originally paid for the Subordinated Note. The Company believes that the value of the Subordinated Notes in any secondary market, if any is created, will be affected by the supply and demand of the Subordinated Notes, their interest rate, ranking, and a number of other factors. Some of these factors are interrelated in complex ways. As a result, the effect of any one factor may be offset or magnified by the effect of another factor.

 

Investors in the Subordinated Notes will have no control over the operations of the Company. The holders of the Subordinated Notes are not entitled to take part in the management or control of the Company’s business or the business of Pubco, including the operations of Pubco following consummation of the Merger Transaction, which will be the sole responsibility of the Manager. The Manager of the Company, Timothy Damadian, will have virtually unlimited latitude in making decisions for the Company and Pubco. Holders of the Subordinated Notes will not participate in the appointment of the Manager, any replacement of a Manager, nor the election of any succeeding Manager.

 

G-2

 

 

There are conflicts of interest as a result of Timothy Damadian being Manager of the Company, an executive officer of Pubco, and the agent on behalf of the holders of the Subordinated Notes. Pursuant to the terms of the agreements related to the Subordinated Notes, the holders of the Subordinated Notes are appointing Timothy Damadian as their agent with respect to enforcement and other rights under the Subordinated Notes. Following the consummation of the Offering and Merger Transaction, Mr. Damadian, it is currently anticipated, would own approximately [PERCENT]% of the total Class B Units of the Company and affiliates of Mr. Damadian will own all of the Class A Units and, as such, will hold at least 62% of the voting power of all of the members of the Company. The Company is dependent upon Pubco to make dividends Pubco to the Company in order for the Company to have funds available to pay interest and principal on the OFB Debt and Subordinated Notes. In the event that a default exists under the Subordinated Notes, it would be in the control of Mr. Damadian to declare a default on behalf of the holders of the Subordinated Notes. Mr. Damadian is also the President of Pubco and will retain such positions following the Merger. Pubco may choose not to distribute (dividend out) all of its profits from operations to the Company in order to retain funds for business purposes, including the establishment of reserves at levels higher than previously anticipated. The determination to declare or withhold dividends would be made by Mr. Damadian in his capacity as President of Pubco and Pubco’s then board of directors. In his capacity as Manager, Mr. Damadian has the power to elect Pubco’s entire board of directors. The retention of funds at Pubco, while benefitting the long-term future of Pubco and the equity owners of the Company, could cause the Company to not have the funds necessary to fulfill the Company’s debt obligations to the holders of the Secured Debt and the only person who could declare a default due to such failure to pay all of such debt obligations, or enforce any rights of the holders of the Subordinated Notes under the security Agreement, is Mr. Damadian. Therefore, there are conflicts of interests in the various positions to be held by Mr. Damadian which may adversely affect the Subordinated Notes and enforcement of rights of the holders of the Subordinated Notes as compared to his role as Manager of the Company, which is the obligor under the Subordinated Notes, and his role as agent for the holders.

 

The ability of the Company to make interest and principal payments to the holders of the Subordinated Notes could vary and would depend upon the results of operations of Pubco. The Company will assume substantial debt in connection with the consummation of the Merger Transaction, including debt to OceanFirst Bank, N.A. (“OFB”) totaling approximately $35 million and private debt to individual holders of Subordinated Secured 7% Promissory Notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $10 million (collectively with any additional debt or substitutions and refinancings, the “Merger Debt”). The Company’s obligations under the Merger Debt gives priority in payment to the Merger Debt over the holders of the Subordinated Notes. Further, unless the Company establishes and maintains required reserves, and is otherwise in compliance with the debt service requirements and other covenants under the terms of the loan agreements with OFB, the Company will not be able to make any payments on the Subordinated Notes. Given the fact that the Company’s sole source of income shall be from Pubco, the ability of the Company to make payments to the Holders of the Subordinated Notes depends on Pubco’s positive cash flow from operations sufficient to, first, make timely payment of all of the Company’s obligations required by the terms of the Merger Debt, and, second, establish appropriate reserves, and, thereafter, make such distributions. The Company cannot assure investors that it would have adequate cash flow from Pubco’s operations to cover expenses, including obligations under the Merger Debt, and also be in a position to make interest and/or principal payment to the holders of the Subordinated Notes.

 

G-3

 

 

Following the consummation of the Merger Transaction, the Company sole business shall be that of owning and managing Pubco and the lack of diversification makes the Company totally dependent on a single investment. The Company’s business plan is to manage and grow the business of Pubco following the consummation of the Merger Transaction, and has no plans to diversify into other businesses. The lack of diversity increases the risks to the Company relating to any downturn in Pubco’s business or the industries in which Pubco operates. The failure of Pubco to generate sufficient profits will likely have an adverse effect on the Company.

 

The Company’s debt level may have a negative impact on its ability to make distributions to Investors and to adequately implement a growth strategy. The Company will incur indebtedness, including the Merger Debt, in connection with the consummation of the Merger Transaction. In addition, subject to the terms of the Merger Debt, especially the bank loan being made by OFB, Pubco may incur indebtedness in the future in connection with future acquisitions, development, and operating activities. The Company’s and Pubco’s use of debt financing create risks, including but not limited to:

 

that Pubco’s cash flow would be insufficient to make required payments of principal and interest on the Merger Debt, or other debt of the Company or Pubco;

 

that the Company would be unable to refinance some, or all, of its indebtedness, including the Merger Debt, or that any refinancing would not be on terms that are favorable to the Company;

 

that required debt payments are not reduced if the economic performance of any property declines; and

 

that any default of the Company’s indebtedness could result in acceleration of those obligations and possible loss of the Company’s ownership of Pubco.

 

Economic and regulatory changes that impact the industries in which Pubco operates may cause the Company’s operating results to suffer. The Company’s operating results would be subject to risks generally incident to the businesses operating in the medical imaging manufacture, support, and office management fields, including but not limited to:

 

Changes in general or local economic conditions where Pubco operates;

 

Changes in the supply of, or the demand for, similar or competing machines and medical office support businesses;

 

Changes in applicable interest rates;

 

Changes in tax, real estate, environmental, and/or zoning laws;

 

Changes in laws and regulations involving the manufacture of medical imaging devices and/or administration and support of medical offices; and

 

Periods of high interest rates and limited supply of capital.

 

G-4

 

 

These and other reasons may prevent the Company from being profitable or from realizing growth, factors that could adversely affect the Company’s ability to satisfy its obligations and thereafter make distributions to the Class B Unitholders.

 

The terms of the Subordinated Notes, and terms of the Offering, were arbitrarily determined and may not reflect the actual value of the Subordinated Notes. The terms of the Subordinated Notes and the Offering were determined by the Manager, in the Manager’s sole discretion. In determining the terms of the Subordinated Notes, the Manager considered such matters as the Manager deemed appropriate, including estimates of the Company’s business potential, the development of Pubco’s business, and the general condition of the industries in which Pubco operates. The terms of the Offering, along with the Subordinated Notes, do not necessarily bear any relationship to the objective criteria of value applicable to the Subordinated Notes or the Company. Accordingly, the terms of the Subordinated Notes and Offering, should not be viewed as an indication of the future value of the Company, nor the Subordinated Notes or any other securities of the Company.

 

Investors will have limited ability, if any, to transfer the Subordinated Notes. The Offering of the Subordinate Notes is being made pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Subordinated Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of the various states. Accordingly, under applicable federal law, the Subordinated Notes may not be resold unless the sale is made under an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and such state laws or exemptions from such registration requirements as are available. The Company has no plans to become a public reporting company or to establish a trading market for its securities, including the Subordinated Notes. As a result, each investor in the Subordinated Notes must bear the economic risk of an investment in the Company for an indefinite period of time.

 

The Company is dependent upon the Manager for his services and any interruption in his ability to provide his services could cause an adverse effect upon the Company us to cease operations; the Company is also dependent on others. The loss of the services of the Manager, Timothy R. Damadian, who also serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of Pubco, could have a material adverse effect on us. Neither the Company nor Pubco currently maintains any key man life insurance on Mr. Damadian. The loss of Mr. Damadian’s services could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations as he is a key member of Pubco’s management. The Company’s future success will also depend on Pubco’s ability to attract, retain, and motivate other highly skilled employees. Competition for personnel in the industries in which Pubco operates is intense. The Company may not be able to retain key employees or attract, assimilate, or retain other highly qualified employees in the future. If Pubco does not succeed in attracting new personnel or retaining and motivating current personnel, the Company’s business will be adversely affected.

 

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not pass upon the merits of any securities offered or the terms of the Offering, nor does the SEC pass upon the accuracy or completeness of any offering document or literature. Neither the Offering nor the Subordinated Notes have been registered under federal or state securities laws, leading to an absence of certain regulation applicable to the Company. No governmental agency has reviewed or passed upon the Offering, the Company, or any securities of the Company, including the Subordinated Notes. The Company also has relied on exemptions from securities registration requirements under applicable state securities laws. Investors in the Subordinated Notes, therefore, will not receive any of the benefits that such registration would otherwise provide. Prospective investors must therefore assess the adequacy of disclosure and the fairness of the terms of the Offering on their own or in conjunction with their personal advisors.

 

FOR ALL OF THE AFORESAID REASONS AND OTHERS SET FORTH IN THIS MEMORANDUM, THE PURCHASE OF THE SUBORDINATED NOTES BEING OFFERED PURSUANT TO THE OFFERING INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. ANY PERSON CONSIDERING AN INVESTMENT IN THE SUBORDINATED NOTES SHOULD BE AWARE OF THESE FACTORS. THE SUBORDINARY NOTES SHOULD BE PURCHASED ONLY BY THOSE PERSONS AND ENTITIES WHO CAN AFFORD TO ABSORB A TOTAL LOSS OF THEIR INVESTMENT IN THE SUBORDINATED NOTES AND HAVE NO NEED FOR A RETURN ON THEIR INVESTMENT.
