Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed in the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2010 filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on May 7, 2010, Nighthawk Radiology Holdings, Inc., (the
Company
) and St. Paul Radiology, P.A. (
SPRPA
) have been involved in a dispute regarding certain agreements entered into
between the Company and SPRPA. On June 30, 2010, the Company entered into a series of related agreements which have resolved such dispute. Such agreements are described in further detail below.
Purchase Agreement
. On June 30, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement (the
Purchase Agreement
) with FutureRad, LLC,
a privately-held company (
FutureRad
), pursuant to which the Company sold all of the outstanding membership interests of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Midwest Physicians Services, LLC (
MPS
) and Emergency
Radiology Services, LLC (
ERS
), to FutureRad for $2 million in cash. MPS and ERS were originally purchased in a transaction with St. Paul Radiology, P.A. (
SPRPA
) in July 2007. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement,
the Company has agreed to indemnify FutureRad for customary matters. Subject to certain exceptions, the Companys indemnification obligations with respect to breaches of its representations and warranties and claims by third parties are capped
at $1 million. MPS provides business process services to SPRPA and its affiliates, including revenue cycle management, administrative and information technology services. ERS arranges for the provision of certain teleradiology services.
Termination Agreement
. Concurrently with the sale of MPS and ERS, the Company, MPS and NightHawk Radiology Services, LLC, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company (
NRS
), on the one hand, and SPRPA and Midwest Radiology, LLC, an affiliate of SPRPA (
MWR
), on the other hand, entered into a termination agreement (the
Termination
Agreement
), pursuant to which certain agreements between the parties, including administrative support services agreements, a professional services agreement and a data license agreement were terminated. In addition, SPRPA surrendered for
cancellation a warrant to purchase 300,000 shares of the Companys common stock that it received in connection with the original transaction in 2007.
Pursuant to the terms of the Termination Agreement, SPRPA and MWR agreed to pay an aggregate of $24 million, consisting of (i) an upfront cash
payment to the Company of $10 million (which amount includes a payment of $2.5 million due to the Company and its affiliates for services previously rendered pursuant to the support services agreements being terminated) and (ii) periodic
payments in an aggregate amount of $14 million pursuant to a promissory note to the Company (the
Note
). Pursuant to the terms of the Note, SPRPA is obligated to make (i) 48 equal monthly payments to the Company of $250,000
beginning August 16, 2010 and (ii) pay to the Company an aggregate of $2 million on or prior to March 31, 2011 in one or more installments.
Mutual General Release and Waiver
. The Company and NRS, on the one hand, and SPRPA and certain of its affiliates, on the other hand, also entered
into a mutual general release and waiver (the
SPRPA Release
) pursuant to which the parties released one another and their respective affiliates from any and all claims arising prior to June 30, 2010, including all claims that
were the subject of the dispute between the parties. None of SPRPA and its affiliates released the Company and its affiliates from third party claims, if any, that are premised upon any omission of or action taken by the Company, NRS or certain of
their affiliates prior to June 30, 2010; provided that recovery under such release for third party claims is capped at an aggregate of $1 million.
The foregoing summaries of the Purchase Agreement, Termination Agreement, Note and SPRPA Release do not
purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the terms of such agreements, copies of which will be filed as exhibits to the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2010.
Consent to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
. The Company obtained the consent of the required lenders (as defined in the credit
facility) under its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 10, 2007 (the credit facility) with respect to the transactions described above. As consideration for such consent, the Company agreed to repay $26 million
aggregate principal amount of indebtedness outstanding under the credit facility following the consummation of the transactions described above. The Company intends to use the net upfront proceeds of the transactions described above and cash on hand
to satisfy such obligation. In addition, the Company has agreed to repay an additional $10 million aggregate principal amount of indebtedness outstanding under the credit facility on or prior to June 30, 2011. Pursuant to the terms of the
credit facility, the Company is required under certain circumstances to use excess cash (as defined in the credit facility) to repay indebtedness outstanding under the credit facility. Pursuant to the consent, the amount that the Company would
otherwise be required to pay with respect to fiscal years 2010 and 2011 pursuant to such provision will be reduced by an amount equal to the prepayment amounts contemplated in connection with the transactions described above. Finally, the Company
has agreed to pledge the Note as security for its obligations under the credit facility.
A press release announcing the Companys
closing of the transaction described above and the entry into such agreements was issued on June 30, 2010 and is being filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
