WHEREAS, the Borrowers have historically recorded and recognized the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Program payments under the Grant Accounting accounting model as being in accordance with GAAP but have now been required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to record and recognize such payments under the Gain Contingency accounting model for publicly held healthcare companies and to restate its financial statements from March 31, 2011 accordingly (the “Accounting Change”);

WHEREAS, the Borrowers are hereby requesting that the Agent and Lenders (i) consent to the Accounting Change as mandated by the SEC, (ii) waive the non-compliance, if any, with the covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement that may be deemed to have resulted from the Accounting Change and the resulting restatement of the financial statements of the Borrowers from March 31, 2011 (the “Possible Non-Compliance”) and (iii) revise the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” used in the Credit Agreement, each in accordance with the terms of this Modification Agreement; and

““Consolidated EBITDA”: With respect to the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries determined in accordance with GAAP for any fiscal period, without duplication, an amount equal to:

(b) on a consolidated basis, the sum of (i) income tax credits for such period, (ii) interest income for such period, (iii) gain from extraordinary items for such period, (iv) any aggregate net gain (but not any aggregate net loss) during such period arising from the sale, exchange or other disposition of any assets by the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries (including any fixed assets, whether tangible or intangible, all inventory sold in conjunction with the disposition of fixed assets and all securities) other than inventory and services sold, exchanged, or disposed of in the ordinary course of business, (v) any non-recurring gains for such period, (vi) any other non-cash gains for such period, and (vii) any income accruals made or included in such period in accordance with GAAP for any Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Program payments under the Gain Contingency accounting model, in each case, to the extent included in the calculation of Consolidated Net Income of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries for such period in accordance with GAAP, but without duplication, plus

(c) on a consolidated basis, the sum of (i) any provision for income taxes, (ii) Consolidated Interest Expense, (iii) loss from extraordinary items for such period, (iv) the amount of non-cash charges (including depreciation, amortization, depletion, deferred tax expense, and non-cash interest expense but excluding any bad debt allowance or reserve), (v) the amount, if any, of non-recurring costs or expenses related to any refinancing, acquisition, or merger transaction, including, without limitation, accounting, legal, consulting and other professional fees in connection therewith, for such period, (vi) amortized debt discount for such period, (vii) the amount of any deduction to Consolidated Net Income as the result of any grant to any members of the management of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries of any Equity Interests (in each case, as determined in accordance with GAAP), in each case of

 

2


clauses (i) through (vii) above to the extent included in the calculation of Consolidated Net Income of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries for such period in accordance with GAAP, but without duplication, and (viii) income accruals relating to expected Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Program payments (“EHR Accruals”); provided that such EHR Accruals under the Grant Accounting accounting model (A) shall, for each fiscal monthly period set forth on Schedule 1.1(c) hereto, not exceed the amount set forth opposite such fiscal monthly period on such Schedule 1.1(c), except as adjusted based on clause (C) below, (B) shall never exceed the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Program payments actually received in respect to such relevant accrual period, and (C) shall, for each fiscal monthly period set forth on Schedule 1.1(c) hereto, be adjusted either up or down on a retroactive basis to the extent that the actual Medicare and Medicaid EHR Program payments received in respect of the relevant program period were greater than or less than the sum of (x) the aggregate EHR Accruals for such period and (y) any EHR accruals made or included in such period in accordance with GAAP which were not subject to or duplicative of EHR Accruals, which retroactive monthly adjustments shall be equal to one-twelfth of the positive or negative difference between the actual Medicare and Medicaid EHR Program payments received in respect of the relevant program period and the sum of (x) the aggregate EHR Accruals for such period and (y) any EHR accruals made or included in such period in accordance with GAAP which were not subject to or duplicative of EHR Accruals.”

(b) A new Schedule 1.1(c) is added to the Credit Agreement in the form of Annex A attached hereto.

(a) All of the representations and warranties contained in Article IV of the Credit Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (except with respect to those representations and warranties which are qualified as to materiality in which case such specific materiality qualifiers shall apply) on the Effective Date, with the same force and effect as if made on such date, unless such representation and warranty expressly applies to an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be deemed made as of such earlier date.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance by each Credit Party of this Modification Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action by such Credit Party. This Modification Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of each Credit Party executing the same, enforceable against each Credit Party in accordance with its terms, subject to

 

3


limitations as to enforceability which might result from bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to limitations on the availability of equitable remedies.

(c) The execution, delivery and performance by each Credit Party of this Modification Agreement will not (i) violate any provision of any law, statute, rule or regulation or any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any court, governmental agency or arbitrator presently in effect having applicability to such Credit Party, (ii) violate or contravene any provision of the Articles or Certificates of Incorporation or Formation, bylaws, operating agreement or partnership agreement of such Credit Party, or (iii) result in a breach of or constitute a default under any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any other agreement, lease or instrument to which such Credit Party is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound or result in the creation of any Lien thereunder.

(d) Except as specifically waived herein, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(e) No order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority is required on the part of any Credit Party to authorize, or is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of, or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of, this Modification Agreement.

Section 5. Acknowledgment; Release. The Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that their obligations to the Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement as revised hereby are owing without offset, defense or counterclaim assertable by the Credit Parties against the Agent or any Lender. The Credit Parties further acknowledge and agree that the Security Documents continue to secure the obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement as revised hereby. Each of the Credit Parties hereby waives, releases and discharges Agent, the Funding Agent and Lenders from any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action arising out of or in any way relating to the Loans, the other Obligations, the Loan Documents and/or any documents, agreements, dealings or other matters connected with any of the foregoing including, without limitation, all known and unknown matters, claims, transactions, or things occurring prior to the date of this Modification Agreement related to the Loans, the other Obligations, the Loan Documents and/or any documents, agreements, dealings or other matters connected with any of the foregoing.

Section 6. General Provisions.

(a) Except as specifically revised above, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.

(b) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Modification Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Agent or any Lender under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor constitute amendment of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, except as specifically set forth herein. Upon the Effective Date of this Modification Agreement, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof”, “herein” or words of similar import shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as revised hereby.

(c) Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that the revisions, waivers and consents set forth herein are effective solely for the purposes set forth herein and shall not be deemed (i) except as expressly provided in this Modification Agreement, to be a consent by the Agent or any Lender to any amendment, waiver or modification of any term or condition of the Credit Agreement or of any other Loan Document, (ii) to create a course of dealing or otherwise obligate the Agent or Lenders to forbear, waive, consent or execute similar revisions or waivers under the same or similar circumstances in the future, or (iii) to amend, prejudice, relinquish or impair any right of the Agent or Lenders to receive any indemnity or similar payment from any Person or entity as a result of any matter arising from or relating to this Modification Agreement.
