Second Amended and Restated First Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement

On April 23, 2021, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated First Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the "Restated Credit Agreement") which provides for $725.0 million of senior secured first lien term loans (the "First Lien Term Loans") and a $195.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Barclays Revolving Credit Facility"). The proceeds of the First Lien Term Loans were used to refinance loans outstanding under our prior first lien credit agreement and provide funding for current and future operations. Total costs of the Restated Credit Agreement amounted to approximately $14.9 million segregated as follows: $8.8 million capitalized to discount and deferred finance cost, $4.5 million expensed to debt restructuring costs, $1.5 million charged to loss on early extinguishment of debt and $0.1 million written off to interest expense. Amounts capitalized will be amortized over the remaining terms of the respective credit facilities under the Restated Credit Agreement.

Senior Credit Facilities:

First Lien Term Loans:

The First Lien Term Loans under the Restated Credit Agreement bear interest at either a Eurodollar Rate or an Alternate Base Rate (in each case, as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for Eurodollar Rate term loans under the Restated Credit Agreement is 3.25% per annum, with a reduction to 3.0% per annum upon delivery by us of financial statements evidencing a first lien net leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1.00 or less. Such statements were delivered by us on May 27, 2021. At December 31, 2021 the effective Eurodollar Rate and the Alternate Base Rate for the First Lien Term Loans under the Restated Credit Agreement was 0.75% and 3.25%, respectively and the applicable margin for the Eurodollar Rate and Alternate Base Rate First Lien Term Loans under the Restated Credit Agreement was 3.00% and 2.00%, respectively.

The Restated Credit Agreement provides for quarterly payments of principal for the First Lien Term Loan in the amount of approximately $1.8 million. The First Lien Term Loan will mature on April 23, 2028 unless otherwise accelerated under the terms of the Restated Credit Agreement.

SunTrust Credit Facilities:

At December 31, 2021, our SunTrust credit facilities, which relate to our consolidated subsidiary The New Jersey Imaging Network, L.L.C.("NJIN"), were comprised of one term loan in the principal amount described in the table above (the "SunTrust Term Loan") and a revolving credit facility of $30.0 million (the "SunTrust Revolving Credit Facility") both of which are provided pursuant to the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement dated August 31, 2018, among NJIN, as borrower, with SunTrust Bank, as administrative agent, and the lenders identified therein (as amended, the "SunTrust Credit Agreement"). Our SunTrust Term Loan bears interest at either an Adjusted LIBOR or a Base Rate (each as defined in the SunTrust Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin according to the following schedule:

Pricing Level	Leverage Ratio	Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans	Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans	Applicable Margin for Letter of Credit Fees	Applicable Percentage for Commitment Fee
I	Greater than or equal to 3.00:1.00	2.75% per annum	1.75% per annum	2.75% per annum	0.45% per annum
II	Less than 3.00:1.00 but greater than or equal to 2.50:1.00	2.25% per annum	1.25% per annum	2.25% per annum	0.40% per annum
III	Less than 2.50:1.00 but greater than or equal to 2.00:1.00	2.00% per annum	1.00% per annum	2.00% per annum	0.35% per annum
IV	Less than 2.00:1.00 but greater than or equal to 1.50:1.00	1.75% per annum	0.75% per annum	1.75% per annum	0.30% per annum
V	Less than 1.50:1.00	1.50% per annum	0.50% per annum	1.50% per annum	0.30% per annum

The loans and other obligations outstanding under the SunTrust Credit Agreement currently bear interest at a three month LIBOR election at 0.13% plus an applicable margin and fees based on Pricing Level V described above.

The scheduled amortization of the SunTrust Term Loan began December 31, 2018 with quarterly payments of $0.8 million, representing annual amortization equal to 5.0% of the original principal amount of the SunTrust Term Loan. At scheduled intervals, the quarterly amortization increases by $0.4 million, with the remaining balance to be paid at maturity. The SunTrust Term Loan will mature on August 31, 2023 unless otherwise accelerated under the terms of the SunTrust Credit Agreement.

Revolving Credit Facilities:

Barclays Revolving Credit Facility:

The Barclays Revolving Credit Facility under the Restated Credit Agreement is a $195.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility. Associated with the Barclays Revolving Credit Facility are deferred financing costs, net of accumulated amortization, of $2.1 million at December 31, 2021.

Revolving loans borrowed under the Barclays Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at either a Eurodollar Rate or an Alternate Base Rate (in each case, as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin which adjusts depending on our first lien net leverage ratio, according to the following schedule:

First Lien Leverage Ratio	Eurodollar Rate Spread	Base Rate Spread
> 3.50x	3.25%	2.25%
> 3.00x but ≤ 3.50x	3.00%	2.00%
≤ 3.00x	2.75%	1.75%

As of December 31, 2021, the effective interest rate payable on revolving loans under the Barclays Revolving Credit Facility was 5.0%.

For letters of credit issued under the Barclays Revolving Credit Facility, letter of credit fees accrue at the applicable margin for Eurodollar rate revolving loans which is currently 2.75% and fronting fees accrue at 0.125% per annum, in each case on the average aggregate daily maximum amount available to be drawn under all letters of credit issued under the Restated Credit Agreement. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum accrues on the unused revolver commitments under the Barclays Revolving Credit Facility.

The Barclays Revolving Credit Facility will terminate on April 23, 2026 unless otherwise accelerated in accordance with the terms of the Restated Credit Agreement.

SunTrust Revolving Credit Facility:

The SunTrust Credit Agreement established a $30.0 million revolving credit facility available to NJIN for funding requirements. The SunTrust Revolving Credit Facility terminates on the earliest of (i) August 31, 2023, (ii) the voluntary termination thereof by NJIN pursuant to Section 2.8 of the SunTrust Credit Agreement, or (iii) the date on which all amounts outstanding under the SunTrust Credit Agreement have been declared or have automatically become due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise). As of December 31, 2021, NJIN had no borrowings under the SunTrust Revolving Credit Facility.

Recent Amendments to prior Credit Facilities

Barclays Credit Facilities:

On August 28, 2020, RadNet Management, Inc. and RadNet, Inc. entered into Amendment No. 8, Consent and Incremental Joinder Agreement to Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the "Eighth Amendment"). The Eighth Amendment amended the prior first lien credit agreement to add $57.5 million of revolving commitments to the prior Barclays revolving credit facility increasing the maximum borrowing capacity under the prior Barclays revolving credit facility to $195.0 million while leaving the maturity date of July 1, 2023 unchanged.

On April 18, 2019 we entered into the following two amendments to the prior first lien credit agreement: (i) Amendment No. 6, Consent and Incremental Joinder Agreement to Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”); and (ii) Amendment No. 7 to Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Seventh Amendment”). Among other things, the Sixth Amendment amended the prior first lien credit agreement to issue $100.0 million in incremental first lien term loans and to add an additional $20.0 million of revolving commitments to the prior Barclays revolving credit facility. The Seventh Amendment amended the prior first lien credit agreement to extend the maturity date of the prior Barclays revolving credit facility by an additional two years to July 1, 2023, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of the prior first lien credit agreement.

The prior first lien credit agreement was amended and restated by the Restated Credit Agreement described above, and the prior first lien term loans and prior Barclays revolving credit facility under the prior first lien credit agreement were refinanced and replaced by the First Lien Term Loans and the Barclays Revolving Credit Facility provided under the Restated Credit Agreement described above.

Paycheck Protection Program

The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) includes funds available for loans to small business and Medicare providers to support operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. The funds are administered by the Small Business Administration (SBA), through approved lenders and do not require collateral or personal guarantees. We received our loans based on being a Medicare provider. The terms and conditions for participation require entities to certify that economic uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic makes the loan necessary to support their current operations, and that they will use the funds to retain workers (e.g., by paying salaries, providing paid sick/medical leave and health insurance benefits) and pay certain debts (mortgage obligations) and expenses (e.g. rent, utilities, telephone). The loans have a 1.0% fixed interest rate and are due in 2 years. The loans are eligible for forgiveness subject to salary limitations and employee retention levels. Certain of our consolidated subsidiaries received four loans totaling $4.0 million. We accounted for the funds received as debt and recorded a liability for the full amount of proceeds received and accrued interest over the term of the loans. In December 2020 we met the eligibility requirements for forgiveness and the loans were written off to gain on debt extinguishment.
