NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

 

1.  Organization

 

21st Century Oncology Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as Radiation Therapy Services Holdings, Inc.) (“Parent”), through its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries” and, collectively with the Subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a leading global, physician-led provider of integrated cancer care (“ICC”) services. The Company’s physicians provide comprehensive, academic quality, cost-effective coordinated care for cancer patients in personal and convenient community settings (its “ICC model”). The Company provides academic center level care to cancer patients in a community setting and employs or affiliates with leading physicians and provides them with the advanced medical technology necessary to achieve optimal clinical outcomes across a full spectrum of oncologic disease in each local market. The Company’s provision of care includes a full spectrum of cancer care services by employing and affiliating with physicians in the related specialties of medical oncology, breast, gynecological and general surgery, urology and primary care. This innovative approach to cancer care through its ICC model enables the Company to collaborate across its physician base, integrate services and payments for related medical needs and disseminate best practices.

 

The Company operates the largest integrated network of cancer treatment centers and affiliated physicians in the world which, as of June 30, 2014, was comprised of approximately 782 community-based physicians in the fields of radiation oncology, medical oncology, breast, gynecological and general surgery, urology and primary care. The Company’s physicians provide medical services at approximately 389 locations, including our 180 radiation therapy centers, of which 48 operate in partnership with health systems. The Company’s cancer treatment centers in the United States are operated predominantly under the 21st Century Oncology brand and are strategically clustered in 31 local markets in 16 states. The Company’s 35 international treatment centers in six Latin American markets are operated under the 21st Century Oncology brand or a local brand and, in many cases, are operated with local minority partners, including hospitals.

 

The Company operates in 16 states, including Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Carolina and West Virginia, as well as countries in Latin America, Central America and the Caribbean. The international centers are located in Argentina, Mexico, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, and El Salvador.

 

The Company is also engaged in providing capital equipment and business management services to oncology physician groups (“Groups”) that treat patients at cancer centers (“Centers”). The Company owns the Centers’ assets and provides services to the Groups through exclusive, long-term management services agreements. The Company provides the Groups with oncology business management expertise and new technologies including radiation oncology equipment and related treatment software. Business services that the Company provides to the Groups include non-physician clinical and administrative staff, operations management, purchasing, managed care contract negotiation assistance, reimbursement, billing and collecting, information technology, human resource and payroll, compliance, accounting, and treasury. Under the terms of the management service agreements, the Company is reimbursed for certain operating expenses of each Center and earns a monthly management fee from each Group.  The management fee is primarily based on a predetermined percentage of each Group’s earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) associated with the provision of radiation therapy.  The Company manages the radiation oncology business operations of one Group in Florida, six Groups in California, and one Group in Indiana.  The Company’s management fees range from 40% to 60% of EBITDA, with one Group in California whose fee ranges from 20% to 30% of collections.

 

On December 9, 2013, Radiation Therapy Services, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, changed its name to 21st Century Oncology, Inc. (“21C”)

 

2.  Liquidity

 

The Company is highly leveraged. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had approximately $1.1 billion of long-term debt outstanding.  Over the next year, the interest and principal payments due under its various debt agreements are approximately $98.3 million and $30.9 million, respectively. As of August 25, 2014, excluding SFRO Holdings, LLC, the Company had unrestricted cash of approximately $31.5 million. The Company had to draw on its revolving credit facility in order to make the April 15, 2014 interest payment of approximately $18.8 million. In addition, the Company routinely extends vendor payments beyond stated terms during the periods preceding semi-annual interest payments in order to conserve cash and liquidity. Working capital was $9.1 million at December 31, 2013 and declined to a working capital deficit of $(20.2) million at June 30, 2014. The Company paid its May 15 and July 15, 2014 interest payments of approximately $15.5 million and $7.1 million, respectively from its unrestricted cash balance.

 

The Company has experienced and continues to experience losses from its operations. The Company reported a net loss of approximately $78.2 million, $151.1 million and $349.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $233.8 million and $38.9 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These continuing losses, coupled with recent costs and expenses associated with the Company’s attempted initial public offering and recapitalization efforts have worsened the Company’s liquidity position.

 

The Company’s high level of debt could have material adverse effects on its business and financial condition. Specifically, the Company’s high level of debt could have important consequences, including the following:

·                  making it more difficult for the Company to satisfy its obligations with respect to debt;

 

·                  limiting the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general corporate requirements;

 

·                  requiring a substantial portion of the Company’s cash flows to be dedicated to debt service payments instead of other purposes;

 

·                  increasing the Company’s vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

 

·                  limiting the Company’s flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in the industry in which the Company competes;

 

·                  placing the Company at a disadvantage compared to other, less leveraged competitors; and

 

·                  increasing the Company’s cost of borrowing.

 

The Company’s ability to make scheduled payments on and to refinance its indebtedness depends on, and is subject to, its financial and operating performance, which in turn is affected by general and regional economic, financial, competitive, business and other factors beyond the Company’s control, including the availability of financing in the international banking and capital markets.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on obtaining additional capital, restructuring its indebtedness, and, ultimately, achieving profitable operations.  The Company’s current projections indicate that the Company will not be able to make its interest payments on its $380.1 million Senior Subordinated Notes in October 2014, which will cause a potential default on its other indebtedness.  Consequently, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company has several initiatives designed to increase revenue and profitability through strategic acquisitions, improvements in commercial payer contracting, development and expansion of its ICC model, and realignment of physician compensation arrangements. In addition, the Company is actively exploring alternatives to obtain additional liquidity or recapitalize the Company, as described further below.

 

Recapitalization Support Agreement

 

As the Company began to experience some liquidity issues after terminating its previously planned initial public offering, it began to have discussions with an ad hoc group of holders of our outstanding notes. On July 29, 2014, the Company, and each of its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into a Recapitalization Support Agreement (the “Recapitalization Support Agreement”) with Vestar Capital Partners, Inc., the Company’s equity sponsor (“Vestar”) and the holders or managers of 72% of the aggregate principal amount of the indebtedness the Company incurred under that certain Indenture (as amended from time to time, the “Subordinated Notes Indenture” and the notes thereunder, the “Subordinated Notes”), dated as of April 20, 2010, among the Company, the guarantors party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Consenting Subordinated Noteholders”).

 

The Recapitalization Support Agreement sets forth the terms through which the Company expects to either (a) obtain additional liquidity through an equity contribution or subordinated debt incurred in a minimum amount of $150 million on or before October 1, 2014 (the “Capital Contribution”) or (b) consummate a recapitalization (the “Recapitalization”) consistent with the material terms and conditions described in the term sheet (the “Recapitalization Term Sheet”) attached to the Recapitalization Support Agreement.  Pursuant to the Recapitalization Support Agreement, if the Company and Vestar fail to obtain a signed letter of intent for a Capital Contribution reasonably acceptable to the Required Consenting Subordinated Noteholders (as defined in the Recapitalization Support Agreement) on or before August 31, 2014, the Company must refrain from pursuing the Capital Contribution and must pursue the Recapitalization.  Absent the Company obtaining the Capital Contribution and upon the effectiveness of the Recapitalization, the Subordinated Noteholder Claims in the amount of $380.1 million (as defined in the Recapitalization Support Agreement) would be exchanged for 95% of the new equity interests in the reorganized Company, subject to dilution pursuant to a management incentive plan and new warrants as set forth in the Recapitalization Term Sheet, with existing equity holders receiving 5% of the new equity interests. Pursuant to the Recapitalization, existing equity holders of the Company will also receive warrants providing the right to acquire 10% of the equity in the reorganized Company at an exercise price corresponding to the principal amount of the Subordinated Notes outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest as of the effective date of the Recapitalization.  Further adjustments to the Recapitalization may be required to reflect any additional debt-to-equity conversion, new equity investments or senior debt that may be raised in connection with the consummation of the Recapitalization and the parties will work in good faith to further adjust the terms set forth in the Term Sheet to reflect the change in the value of each party’s recovery resulting from such required changes.

 

The Recapitalization Support Agreement may be terminated upon the occurrence of certain events, including: (a) certain breaches by the Company, Vestar, or the Consenting Subordinated Noteholders under the Recapitalization Support Agreement; (b) the failure to meet certain milestones related to implementing the Recapitalization and (c) a determination by the Company’s board of directors that continued performance under the Recapitalization Support Agreement would be inconsistent with the exercise of its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

 

3.  Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements.  All adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are considered to be of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2014.

 

                                    These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The Company’s results of operations historically have fluctuated on a quarterly basis and can be expected to continue to fluctuate. Many of the patients of the Company’s Florida treatment centers are part-time residents during the winter months. Hence, these treatment centers have historically experienced higher utilization rates during the winter months than during the remainder of the year. In addition, volume is typically lower in the summer months due to traditional vacation periods.

 

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries and entities controlled by the Company through the Company’s direct or indirect ownership of a majority interest and/or exclusive rights granted to the Company as the management company of such entities or by contract. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

The Company has evaluated certain radiation oncology practices in order to determine if they are variable interest entities (“VIEs”). This evaluation resulted in the Company determining that certain of its radiation oncology practices were potential VIEs. For each of these practices, the Company has evaluated (1) the sufficiency of the fair value of the entity’s equity investments at risk to absorb losses, (2) that, as a group, the holders of the equity investments at risk have (a) the direct or indirect ability through voting rights to make decisions about the entity’s significant activities, (b) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity and that their obligations are not protected directly or indirectly, and (c) the right to receive the expected residual return of the entity, and (3) substantially all of the entity’s activities do not involve or are not conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately fewer voting rights in terms of its obligation to absorb the expected losses or its right to receive expected residual returns of the entity, or both. The Accounting Standards Codification (ASC), 810, Consolidation (ASC 810), requires a company to consolidate VIEs if the company is the primary beneficiary of the activities of those entities. Certain of the Company’s radiation oncology practices are VIEs and the Company has a variable interest in each of these practices through its administrative services agreements. Other of the Company’s radiation oncology practices (primarily consisting of partnerships) are VIEs and the Company has a variable interest in each of these practices because the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the legal entity to finance its activities without the additional subordinated financial support provided by its members.

 

In accordance with ASC 810, the Company consolidates certain radiation oncology practices where the Company provides administrative services pursuant to long-term management agreements. The noncontrolling interests in these entities represent the interests of the physician owners of the oncology practices in the equity and results of operations of these consolidated entities. The Company, through its variable interests in these practices, has the power to direct the activities of these practices that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the Company would absorb a majority of the expected losses of these practices should they occur. Based on these determinations, the Company has consolidated these radiation oncology practices in its consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

 

The Company could be obligated, under the terms of the operating agreements governing certain of its joint ventures, upon the occurrence of various fundamental regulatory changes and or upon the occurrence of certain events outside of the Company’s control to purchase some or all of the noncontrolling interests related to the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries. These repurchase requirements would be triggered by, among other things, regulatory changes prohibiting the existing ownership structure. While the Company is not aware of events that would make the occurrence of such a change probable, regulatory changes are outside the control of the Company. Accordingly, the noncontrolling interests subject to these repurchase provisions have been classified outside of equity on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the combined total assets included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet relating to the VIEs were approximately $111.2 million and $71.3 million, respectively.

 

As of June 30, 2014, the Company was the primary beneficiary of, and therefore consolidated, 27 VIEs, which operate 47 centers. Any significant amounts of assets and liabilities related to the consolidated VIEs are identified parenthetically on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The assets are owned by, and the liabilities are obligations of the VIEs, not the Company. Only the VIE’s assets can be used to settle the liabilities of the VIE. The assets are used pursuant to operating agreements established by each VIE. The VIEs are not guarantors of the Company’s debts. In the states of California, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New York and North Carolina, the Company’s treatment centers are operated as physician office practices. The Company typically provides technical services to these treatment centers in addition to administrative services. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 approximately 15.0% and 18.9% of the Company’s net patient service revenue, respectively, was generated by professional corporations for which it has administrative management agreements.

 

As of June 30, 2014, the Company also held equity interests in six VIEs for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. Those VIEs consist of partnerships that primarily provide radiation oncology services.  The Company is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as it does not retain the power and rights in the operations of the entities. The Company’s investments in the unconsolidated VIEs are approximately $2.9 million and $2.6 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, with ownership interests ranging between 33.6% and 50.1% general partner or equivalent interest. Accordingly, substantially all of these equity investment balances are attributed to the Company’s noncontrolling interests in the unconsolidated partnerships. The Company’s maximum risk of loss related to the investments in these VIEs is limited to the equity interest.

 

The cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are approximately $188.7 million and $127.3 million, respectively. The cost of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are approximately $359.8 million and $251.4 million, respectively. The cost of revenues includes costs related to expenses incurred for the delivery of patient care.  These costs include salaries and benefits of physician, physicists, dosimetrists radiation technicians etc., medical supplies, facility rent expenses, other operating expenses, depreciation and amortization.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

The Argentine government has implemented certain measures that control and restrict the ability of companies and individuals to exchange Argentine pesos for foreign currencies. Those measures include, among other things, the requirement to obtain the prior approval from the Argentine Tax Authority of the foreign currency transaction (for example and without limitation, for the payment of non-Argentine goods and services, payment of principal and interest on non-Argentine debt and also payment of dividends to parties outside of the country), which approval process could delay, and eventually restrict, the ability to exchange Argentine pesos for other currencies, such as U.S. dollars. Those

approvals are administered by the Argentine Central Bank through the Local Exchange Market (“Mercado Unico Libre de Cambios”, or “MULC”), which is the only market where exchange transactions may be lawfully made.

 

During January 2014 the Argentinean peso exchange rate against the U.S. dollar increased in approximately 23%, from 6.52 Argentinean Pesos per U.S. dollar as of December 31, 2013 to approximately 8.0 Argentinean Pesos per U.S. dollar. As of June 30, 2014, the Argentinean Peso exchange rate was $8.13 per U.S. dollar.

 

New Pronouncements

 

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740):Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (ASU 2013-11), which amends ASC 740 to clarify balance sheet presentation requirements of unrecognized tax benefits. ASU 2013-11 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2014. The Company adopted ASC 740 and reclassified approximately $1.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits from income taxes payable to other long term liabilities.

 

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. ASU 2014-08 changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations in FASB Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 205-20, such that a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. ASU 2014-08 requires an entity to present, for each comparative period, the assets and liabilities of a disposal group that includes a discontinued operation separately in the asset and liability sections, respectively, of the statement of financial position, as well as additional disclosures about discontinued operations. Additionally, ASU 2014-08 requires disclosures about a disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations presentation in the financial statements and expands the disclosures about an entity’s significant continuing involvement with a discontinued operation. The accounting update is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted but only for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. The core principle of the guidance in ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance, which will be effective beginning January 1, 2017.

2012 Equity-based incentive plans

 

Effective as of June 11, 2012, 21st Century Oncology Investments, LLC, the Company’s direct parent (“21CI”), entered into a Third Amended and Restated LLC Agreement (the “Amended LLC Agreement”). The Amended LLC Agreement established new classes of equity units (such new units, the “2012 Plan”) in 21CI in the form of Class MEP Units, Class EMEP Units, Class L Units and Class G Units for issuance to employees, officers, directors and other service providers, establishes new distribution entitlements related thereto, and modifies the distribution entitlements for holders of Preferred units and Class A Units of 21CI. In addition to the Preferred Units and Class A Units of 21CI, the Amended LLC Agreement authorized for issuance under the 2012 Plan 1,100,200 units of limited liability company interests consisting of 1,000,000 Class MEP Units, 100,000 Class EMEP Units, 100 Class L Units, and 100 Class G Units.

 

Generally, for Class MEP units awarded, 66.6% vest upon issuance, while the remaining 33.4% vest on the 18 month anniversary of the issuance date. There are no performance conditions for the MEP units to vest. For newly hired individuals after January 1, 2012, vesting occurs at 33.3% in years one and two, and 33.4% in year three of the individual’s hire date. In the event of a sale or public offering of the Company prior to termination of employment, all unvested Class MEP units would vest upon consummation of the transaction. The MEP units are eligible to receive distributions only upon a return of all capital invested in 21CI, plus the amounts to which the Class EMEP Units, are entitled to receive under the Amended LLC Agreements; which effectively creates a market condition that is reflected in the value of the Class MEP units.

 

Vesting of the Class EMEP units is dependent upon achievement of an implied equity value target. The right to receive proceeds from vested units is dependent upon the occurrence of a qualified sale or liquidation event. Specifically, the percentage of EMEP units that vest is based on the implied value of the Company’s equity, to be measured quarterly beginning December 31, 2012. 25% of the awards will be eligible for vesting if the “implied equity value” exceeds a predetermined threshold, with 50% incremental vesting eligibility if the implied value exceeds several higher thresholds for at least two consecutive quarters. The implied equity value per the Amended LLC Agreement is a multiple of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) as defined in the Amended LLC Agreement. As with the MEP units, the values of the EMEP units are subject to a market condition in the form of the return on investment target for Vestar’s interest. The Class EMEP Units were eliminated under the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “Fourth Amended LLC Agreement”) in December 2013.

 

For purposes of determining the compensation expense associated with the 2012 equity-based incentive plan grants, management valued the business enterprise using a variety of widely accepted valuation techniques, which considered a number of factors such as the financial performance of the Company, the values of comparable companies and the lack of marketability of the Company’s equity. The Company then used the probability-weighted expected return method (“PWERM”) to determine the fair value of these units at the time of grant. Under the PWERM, the value of the units is estimated based upon an analysis of future values for the enterprise assuming various future outcomes (exits) as well as the rights of each unit class. In developing assumptions for the various exit scenarios, management considered the Company’s ability to achieve certain growth and profitability milestone in order to maximize shareholder value at the time of potential exit. Management considers an initial public offering (“IPO”) of the Company’s stock to be one of the exit scenarios for the current shareholders, although sale or merger/acquisition are possible future exit options as well. For the scenarios the enterprise value at exit was estimated based on a multiple of the Company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the fiscal year preceding the exit date. The enterprise value for the Staying Private Scenario was estimated based on a discounted cash flow analysis as well as guideline company market approach.

Table of Contents

 

The guideline companies were publicly-traded companies that were deemed comparable to the Company. The discount rate analysis also leveraged market data of the same guideline companies.

 

For each PWERM scenario, management estimated probability factors based on the outlook of the Company and the industry as well as prospects for potential exit at the exit date based on information known or knowable as of the grant date. The probability-weighted unit values calculated at each potential exit date was present-valued to the grant date to estimate the per-unit value. The discount rate utilized in the present value calculation was the cost of equity calculated using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (“CAPM”) and based on the market data of the guideline companies as well as historical data published by Morningstar, Inc. For each PWERM scenario, the per unit values were adjusted for lack of marketability discount to conclude on unit value on a minority, non-marketable basis.

 

The estimated fair value of the units, less an assumed forfeiture rate of 3.9%, is recognized in expense in the Company’s consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period and in accordance with the vesting conditions of the awards for Class MEP Units. For Class MEP Units, the requisite service period is approximately 18 months, and for Class EMEP Units, the requisite service period is 36 months only if met or probable of being met. The assumed forfeiture rate is based on an average historical forfeiture rate.

 

Grants under 2013 Plan

 

On December 9, 2013, 21CI entered into the Fourth Amended LLC Agreement which replaced the Amended LLC Agreement in its entirety. The Fourth Amended LLC Agreement established new classes of incentive equity units (such new units, together with Class MEP Units, as modified under the Fourth Amended LLC Agreement, (the “2013 Plan”) in 21CI in the form of Class M Units, Class N Units and Class O Units for issuance to employees, officers, directors and other service providers, eliminated 21CI’s Class L Units and Class EMEP Units, and modified the distribution entitlements for holders of each existing class of equity units of 21CI.

 

The Company recorded approximately $36,000 and $154,000 of stock-based compensation for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $71,000 and $345,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which is included in salaries and benefits in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

As of June 30, 2014, there was approximately $0.2 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to the MEP Units. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.51 years for MEP Units.

 

As of June 30, 2014, there was approximately $4.6 million, and $46,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to the M Units, and O Units, respectively. The Class M Units and O Units compensation will be recognized upon the sale of the Company or an initial public offering. Under the terms of the incentive unit grant agreements governing the grants of the Class M Units and Class O Units, in the event of an initial public offering of the Company’s common stock, holders have certain rights to receive shares of restricted common stock of the Company in exchange for their Class M Units and Class O Units.

 

Executive Bonus Plan

 

On December 9, 2013, the Company adopted the Executive Bonus Plan to provide certain senior level employees of the Company with an opportunity to receive additional compensation based on the Equity Value, as defined in the plan and described in general terms as noted below, of 21CI. Upon the occurrence of the first company sale or initial public offering to occur following the effective date of the plan, a bonus pool was established equal in value of 5% of the Equity Value of 21CI, subject to a maximum bonus pool of $12.7 million. Each participant in the plan will participate in the bonus pool based on the participant’s award percentage.

 

Payments of awards under the plan generally will be made as follows:

 

If the applicable liquidity event is a company sale, payment of the awards under the plan will be made within 30 days following consummation of the company sale in the same form as the proceeds received by 21CI. If the applicable liquidity event is an initial public offering, one-third of the award will be paid within 45 days following the effective date of the initial public offering, and the remaining two-thirds of the award will be payable in two equal annual installments on each of the first and second anniversaries of the effective date of the initial public offering. Payment of the award may be made in cash or stock or a combination thereof.

Table of Contents

 

For purposes of the plan, the term “Equity Value” generally refers to: (i) if the applicable liquidity event is a company sale, the aggregate fair market value of the cash and non-cash proceeds received by 21CI and its equity holders in connection with the sale of equity interests in the Company; or (ii) if the applicable liquidity event is an initial public offering, the aggregate fair market value of 100% of the common stock of the Company on the effective date of its initial public offering.

 

As of June 30, 2014, there was approximately $11.0 million total unrecognized compensation expense related to the Executive Bonus Plan. The Executive Bonus Plan compensation will be recognized upon the sale of the Company or an initial public offering.

 

Grant of Class N Units

 

In December, 2013, 10 class N units were granted to an employee.  50% of the Class N Units vest upon the sale of the Company or an initial public offering. The remaining 50% is amortized over five years subsequent to an initial public offering. As of June 30, 2014, there was approximately $6,000 total unrecognized compensation expense related to the Class N Units.

 

Grant of Class G Units

 

In May, 2014, 10 class G units were granted to an employee.  100% of the Class G Units vest upon the sale of the Company or an initial public offering. As of June 30, 2014, there was approximately $1.5 million total unrecognized compensation expense related to the Class G Units.

 

5.  Comprehensive loss

 

Comprehensive loss consists of two components, net loss and other comprehensive loss. Other comprehensive loss refers to revenue, expenses, gains, and losses that under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States are recorded as an element of equity but are excluded from net loss. The Company’s other comprehensive loss is composed of unrealized gains and losses on interest rate swap agreements accounted for as cash flow hedges and the Company’s foreign currency translation of its operations in Latin America, Central America and the Caribbean. The impact of the unrealized loss increased accumulated other comprehensive loss on a consolidated basis by approximately $9.7 million and $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. There were no reclassifications from other comprehensive income into earnings for the periods presented.

6. Reconciliation of total equity

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest.  Noncontrolling interests-nonredeemable principally represent minority shareholders’ proportionate share of the equity of certain consolidated majority owned entities of the Company. The Company has certain arrangements whereby the noncontrolling interest may be redeemed upon the occurrence of certain events outside of the Company’s control. These noncontrolling interests have been classified outside of permanent equity on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The noncontrolling interests are not redeemable at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and the contingent events upon which the noncontrolling interest may be redeemed are not probable of occurring at June 30, 2014. Accordingly, the noncontrolling interests are measured at their carrying value at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

 

The following table presents changes in total equity for the respective periods:

Redeemable equity securities with redemption features that are not solely within the Company’s control are classified outside of permanent equity. Those securities are initially recorded at their estimated fair value on the date of issuance. Securities that are currently redeemable or redeemable after the passage of time are adjusted to their redemption value as changes occur. In the unlikely event that a redeemable equity security will require redemption, any subsequent adjustments to the initially recorded amount will be recognized in the period that a redemption becomes probable. Contingent redemption events vary by joint venture and generally include either the holder’s discretion or circumstances jeopardizing: the joint ventures’ ability to provide services, the joint ventures’ participation in Medicare, Medicaid, or other third party reimbursement programs, the tax-exempt status of minority shareholders, and violation of federal statutes, regulations, ordinances, or guidelines. Amounts required to redeem noncontrolling interests are based on either fair value or a multiple of trailing financial performance. These amounts are not limited.

 

7. Derivative Agreements

 

The Company recognizes all derivatives in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship based on its effectiveness in hedging against the exposure. Derivatives that do not meet hedge accounting requirements must be adjusted to fair value through operating results. If the derivative meets hedge accounting requirements, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the change in fair value of assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through operating results or recognized in other comprehensive loss until the hedged item is recognized in operating results. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings.

 

Foreign currency derivative contracts

 

Foreign currency risk is the risk that fluctuations in foreign exchange rates could impact the Company’s results from operations.  The Company is exposed to a significant amount of foreign exchange risk, primarily between the U.S. dollar and the Argentine Peso.  This exposure relates to the provision of radiation oncology services to patients at the Company’s Latin American operations and purchases of goods and services in foreign currencies. The Company enters into foreign exchange option contracts to convert a significant portion of the Company’s forecasted foreign currency denominated net income into U.S. dollars to limit the adverse impact of a potential weakening Argentine Peso against the U.S. dollar. Because the Company’s Argentine forecasted foreign currency denominated net income is expected to increase commensurate with inflationary expectations, any adverse impact on net income from a weakening Argentine Peso against the U.S. dollar is limited to the cost of the option contracts. Under the Company’s foreign currency management program, the Company expects to monitor foreign exchange rates and periodically enter into forward contracts and other derivative instruments. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

 

These programs reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, the impact of currency exchange movements.  The Company’s current practice is to use currency derivatives without hedge accounting designation. The maturity of these instruments generally occurs within twelve months. Gains

or losses resulting from the fair valuing of these instruments are reported in loss (gain) on foreign currency derivative contracts on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.  For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred a gain of approximately $4,000 and a loss of approximately $0.2 million, respectively relating to the change in fair market value of its foreign currency derivatives.  The fair value of the foreign currency derivative is recorded in other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.  At December 31, 2013, the fair value of the foreign currency derivative was approximately $22,000. No foreign currency derivative contract was outstanding at June 30, 2014.

 

8. Fair value of financial instruments

 

ASC 820 requires disclosure about how fair value is determined for assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of inputs. The three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies, is as follows:

 

Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

 

In accordance with ASC 820, the fair value of the Term Loan portion of the senior secured credit facility (“Term Facility”), the 97/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017, 87/8% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2017, and the 113/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 was based on prices quoted from third-party financial institutions (Level 2).

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company held certain items that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis including foreign currency derivative contracts. Cash and cash equivalents are reflected in the financial statements at their carrying value, which approximate their fair value due to their short maturity.  The carrying values of the Company’s long-term debt other than the Term Loan portion of the senior secured credit facility, Senior Subordinated Notes, Senior Secured Second Lien Notes and Senior Secured Notes approximates fair value due to the length of time to maturity and/or the existence of interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates.  There have been no transfers between levels of valuation hierarchies for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s foreign currency derivative agreements considered various inputs and assumptions, including the applicable spot rate, forward rates, maturity, implied volatility and other relevant economic measures, all of which are observable market inputs that are classified under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.  The valuation technique used is an income approach with the best market estimate of what will be realized on a discounted cash flow basis.

 

9.  Income tax accounting

 

The Company provides for federal, state and non-US income taxes currently payable, as well as for those deferred due to timing differences between reporting income and expenses for financial statement purposes versus tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in income tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

ASC 740, Income Taxes, clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements and prescribes a threshold for the recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740 the impact of an uncertain tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, ASC 740 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

 

The Company is subject to taxation in the United States, approximately 25 state jurisdictions, the Netherlands, and throughout Latin America, namely, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala and Mexico. However, the principal jurisdictions for which the Company is subject to tax are the United States, Florida and Argentina.

 

The Company’s effective rate was (1.3)% and (8.8)% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The change in the effective rate for the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same period of the year prior is primarily the result of the recording of an impairment against goodwill of the domestic operations, the release of previously recorded reserves related to the settlement of the 2007 and 2008 US federal tax audit in addition to the relative mix of earnings and tax rates across jurisdictions, and the application of ASC 740-270 to exclude certain jurisdictions for which the Company is unable to benefit from losses. These items also caused the effective tax rate to differ from the U.S. statutory rate of 35%.  The Company’s tax expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 is primarily due to the non-US tax expense associated with foreign subsidiaries.

 

The Company’s future effective tax rates could be affected by changes in the relative mix of taxable income and taxable loss jurisdictions, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets or liabilities, or changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof.  The Company monitors the assumptions used in estimating the annual effective tax rate and makes adjustments, if required, throughout the year.  If actual results differ from the assumptions used in estimating the Company’s annual effective tax rates, future income tax expense (benefit) could be materially affected.

 

The Company has not provided U.S. federal and state deferred taxes on the cumulative earnings of non-U.S. affiliates and associated companies that have been reinvested indefinitely. The aggregate undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries for which no deferred tax liability has been recorded is approximately $8.6 million as of December 31, 2013 (including positive accumulated earnings of approximately $19 million in foreign jurisdictions that impose withholding taxes of up to 10%). It is not practicable to determine the U.S. income tax liability that would be payable if such earnings were not reinvested indefinitely.

 

The Company is routinely under audit by federal, state, or local authorities in the areas of income taxes and other taxes. These audits may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions and compliance with federal, state, and local tax laws. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes from these audits to determine the adequacy of the Company’s provision for income taxes.  To the extent the Company prevails in matters for which accruals have been established or is required to pay amounts in excess of such accruals, the effective tax rate could be materially affected.  In accordance with the statute of limitations for federal tax returns, the Company’s federal tax returns for the years 2010 through 2013 are subject to examination. The Company closed a US Federal income tax audit for the tax years 2007 and 2008 during the second quarter of 2014 and 2009 during the third quarter of 2013. The Company closed the New York State audit for tax years 2006 through 2008 during the first quarter of 2013.

10.  Acquisitions and other arrangements

 

On February 6, 2012, the Company acquired the assets of a radiation oncology practice and a medical oncology group located in Asheville, North Carolina for approximately $0.9 million.  The acquisition of the radiation oncology practice and the medical oncology group, further expands the Company’s presence in the Western North Carolina market and builds on the Company’s ICC model. The allocation of the purchase price is to tangible assets of $0.8 million, and goodwill of $0.1 million, which is all deductible for tax purposes.

 

In September 2011, the Company entered into a professional services agreement with the North Broward Hospital District in Broward County, Florida to provide professional services at the two radiation oncology departments at Broward General Medical Center and North Broward Medical Center.  In March 2012, the Company amended the license agreement to license the space and equipment and assume responsibility for the operation of those radiation therapy departments, as part of the Company’s value added services offering.  The license agreement runs for an initial term of ten years, with three separate five year renewal options.  The Company recorded approximately $4.3 million of tangible assets relating to the use of medical equipment pursuant to the license agreement.

 

On March 30, 2012, the Company acquired the assets of a radiation oncology practice for $26.0 million and two urology groups located in Sarasota/Manatee counties in Southwest Florida for approximately $1.6 million, for a total purchase price of approximately $27.6 million, comprised of $21.9 million in cash and assumed capital lease obligation of approximately $5.7 million. The allocation of the purchase price is to tangible assets of $7.8 million, intangible assets including non-compete agreements of $6.1 million amortized over 5 years, goodwill of $13.7 million, which is all deductible for tax purposes, and assumed capital lease obligations of approximately $5.7 million.

 

On December 28, 2012, the Company purchased the remaining 50% interest it did not already own in an unconsolidated joint venture which operates a freestanding radiation treatment center in West Palm Beach, Florida for approximately $1.1 million. The allocation of the purchase price is to tangible assets of $0.3 million, intangible assets including non-compete agreements of $0.2 million amortized over 2 years, goodwill of $0.8 million and current liabilities of approximately $0.2 million.

 

During 2012, the Company acquired the assets of several physician practices in Arizona, California and Florida for approximately $1.7 million. The physician practices provide synergistic clinical services and an ICC service to its patients in the respective markets in which the Company provides radiation therapy treatment services.  The allocation of the purchase price to tangible assets is $1.7 million.

 

On May 25, 2013, the Company acquired the assets of 5 radiation oncology practices and a urology group located in Lee/Collier counties in Southwest Florida for approximately $28.5 million, comprised of $17.7 million in cash, seller financing note of approximately $2.1 million and assumed capital lease obligations of approximately $8.7 million. The acquisition of the 5 radiation treatment centers and the urology group further expands the Company’s presence into the Southwest Florida market and builds on its ICC model. The allocation of the purchase price is to tangible assets of $10.4 million, intangible assets including non-compete agreements of $1.9 million amortized over five years, current liabilities of $0.2 million, and goodwill of $16.4 million, which is all deductible for tax purposes. During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company finalized its valuation of assets acquired, primarily working capital. The final valuation resulted in an increase to goodwill of $0.1 million and an increase in current liabilities of $0.1 million. Pro forma results and other expanded disclosures prescribed by ASC 805, Business Combinations, have not been presented as this acquisition is not deemed material.

 

In June 2013, the Company sold its 45% interest in an unconsolidated joint venture which operated a radiation treatment center in Providence, Rhode Island in partnership with a hospital to provide stereotactic radio-surgery through the use of a cyberknife for approximately $1.5 million.

 

In June 2013, the Company contributed its Casa Grande, Arizona radiation physician practice, ICC practice and approximately $5.2 million to purchase a 55.0% interest in a joint venture which included an additional radiation physician practice and an expansion of an ICC model that includes medical oncology, urology and dermatology.

For purposes of valuing the noncontrolling interest-redeemable, the Company considered a number of factors such as the joint venture’s performance projections, cost of capital, and consideration ascribed to applicable discounts for lack of control and marketability. During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company finalized its valuation of assets acquired, primarily working capital. The final valuation resulted in an increase to goodwill of $0.1 million and an increase in current liabilities of $0.1 million.

 

In July 2013, the Company purchased a legal entity, which operates a radiation treatment center in Tijuana Mexico for approximately $1.6 million. The acquisition of this operating treatment center expands the Company’s presence in the international markets.

(together with its subsidiaries, “OnCure”) upon effectiveness of its plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code for approximately $125.0 million, (excluding capital leases, working capital and other adjustments). The purchase price included $42.5 million in cash and up to $82.5 million in assumed debt ($7.5 million of assumed debt will be released assuming certain OnCure centers achieve a minimum level of EBITDA).  The Company funded an initial deposit of approximately $5.0 million into an escrow account subject to the working capital adjustments. During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company received approximately $3.3 million of the escrow account pursuant to a negotiated working capital settlement.

 

On October 25, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of OnCure.

The Company preliminarily valued the noncontrolling interest-redeemable considering a number of factors such as SFRO’s performance projections, cost of capital, and consideration ascribed to applicable discounts for lack of control and marketability.

 

The Company valued the trade name using the relief from royalty method, a derivation of the income approach that estimates the benefit of owning the trade name rather than paying royalties for the right to use a comparable asset. The Company considered a number of factors to value the trade name, including SFRO’s performance projections, royalty rates, discount rates, strength of competition, and income tax rates.

 

The Company valued the non-compete agreement using the discounted cash flow method, a derivation of the income approach that evaluates the difference in the sum of SFRO’s present value of cash flows of two scenarios: (1) with the non-compete in place and (2) without the non-compete in place. The Company considered various factors in determining the non-compete value including SFRO’s performance projections, probability of competition, income tax rates, and discount rates.

 

The weighted-average amortization period for the acquired amortizable intangible assets at the time of the acquisition was approximately 4.8 years. Total amortization expense recognized for these acquired amortizable intangible assets totaled approximately $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill of $93.6 million, representing primarily the value of estimated cost savings and synergies expected from the transaction. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes and is included in the Company’s U.S. domestic segment.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, the Company recorded $41.3 million and $60.7 million of net patient service revenue and reported a net income of $0.9 million and $1.0 million in connection with the SFRO acquisition.

On March 26, 2014 the Company purchased a 75% interest in a legal entity that operates a radiation oncology facility in Villa Maria, Argentina for approximately $0.5 million. The allocation of the purchase price is to tangible assets of $0.3 million, goodwill of $0.8 million, noncontrolling interest-non redeemable of approximately $0.2 million and current liabilities of approximately $0.4 million.

 

On April 21, 2014, the Company acquired the assets of a radiation oncology practice located in Boca Raton, Florida for approximately $0.4 million plus the assumption of approximately $2.7 million in debt.  The acquisition of the radiation oncology practice further expands the Company’s presence in the Broward County market. The allocation of the purchase price is to tangible assets of $3.0 million and non-compete of $0.1 million.

 

During 2014, the Company acquired the assets of several physician practices in Florida for approximately $0.3 million. The physician practices provide synergistic clinical services and an ICC service to its patients in the respective markets in which the Company provides radiation therapy treatment services.  The allocation of the purchase price to tangible assets is $0.3 million.

The operations of the foregoing acquisitions have been included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss from the respective date of the acquisition.

 

11. Goodwill

 

As the Company began to experience some liquidity issues after terminating its previously planned initial public offering, it began to have discussions with an ad hoc group of holders of our outstanding notes. On July 29, 2014, the Company entered into a Recapitalization Support Agreement with Vestar and the holders or managers of 72% of the aggregate principal amount of the indebtedness the Company incurred under that certain Indenture, dated as of April 20, 2010, among the Company, the guarantors party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Consenting Subordinated Noteholders”).

 

The Recapitalization Support Agreement sets forth the terms through which the Company expects to either (a) obtain additional liquidity through an equity contribution or subordinated debt incurred in a minimum amount of $150 million on or before October 1, 2014 (the “Capital Contribution”) or (b) consummate a Recapitalization consistent with the material terms and conditions described in the Recapitalization Term Sheet attached to the Recapitalization Support Agreement.  Pursuant to the Recapitalization Support Agreement, if the Company and Vestar fail to obtain a signed letter of intent for a Capital Contribution reasonably acceptable to the Required Consenting Subordinated Noteholders (as defined in the Recapitalization Support Agreement) on or before August 31, 2014, the Company must refrain from pursuing the Capital Contribution and must pursue the Recapitalization.  Absent the Company obtaining the Capital Contribution and upon the effectiveness of the Recapitalization, the Subordinated Noteholder Claims (as defined in the Recapitalization Support Agreement) would be exchanged for 95% of the new equity interests in the reorganized Company, subject to dilution pursuant to a management incentive plan and new warrants as set forth in the Recapitalization Term Sheet, with existing equity holders receiving 5% of the new equity interests.

 

The Company performed an interim impairment test for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company completed the first step of the impairment test as of June 30, 2014 and determined that the carrying amount of one of the reporting units exceeds its estimated implied fair value, thereby requiring performance of the second step of the impairment test to calculate the amount of the impairment. The Company, with the assistance of an independent valuation firm, has begun the second step of the impairment test and expects the resulting valuation report to be completed on or before September 30, 2014. However, because an impairment loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, the Company has, in accordance with ASC 350, recorded a preliminary estimated non-cash impairment charge of approximately $182 million in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the quarter ended June 30, 2014. The estimated fair value measurements were developed using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).  For goodwill, the primary valuation technique used was an income methodology based on management’s estimates of forecasted cash flows for each reporting unit, with those cash flows discounted to present value using rates commensurate with the risks of those cash flows.  In addition, management used a market-based valuation method involving analysis of market multiples of revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for (i) a group of comparable public companies and (ii) recent transactions, if any, involving comparable companies.  For trade name intangible assets, management used the income-based relief-from-royalty valuation method in which fair value is the discounted value of forecasted royalty revenues arising from a trade name using a royalty rate that an independent party would pay for use of that trade name.  Assumptions used by management were similar to those that management believes would be used by market participants performing valuations of these regions.  Management’s assumptions were based on analysis of current and expected future economic conditions and the strategic plan for each reporting unit. The Company will increase or decrease this estimate, as necessary, based upon the completion of the valuation report, which will include additional procedures for determining the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities.

 

On July 3, 2014, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”), the government agency responsible for administering the Medicare program released its 2015 preliminary physician fee schedule.  The preliminary physician fee schedule proposes a 5% rate reduction on Medicare payments to freestanding radiation oncology providers. CMS provides a 60 day comment period and the final rule is expected in early November, 2014.  If the final rule maintains the current proposed rate reductions, the Company may record an impairment charge for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles assets. As a result the Company’s operating results could be materially impacted if the proposed rate decrease is implemented.

Senior Subordinated Notes

The remaining proceeds were used to pay down $74.8 million of the Term Loan B and $10.0 million of the Revolver. A portion of the proceeds was placed in a restricted account pending application to finance certain acquisitions, including the acquisitions of a radiation treatment center and physician practices in South Carolina consummated on May 3, 2010. The Company incurred approximately $11.9 million in transaction fees and expenses, including legal, accounting and other fees and expenses associated with the offering, and the initial purchasers’ discount of $1.9 million.

 

In March 2011, 21C issued to DDJ Capital Management, LLC, $50 million in aggregate principal amount of 97/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017. The proceeds of $48.5 million were used (i) to fund the Company’s acquisition of all of the outstanding membership units of

Table of Contents

 

MDLLC and substantially all of the interests of MDLLC’s affiliated companies (the “MDLLC Acquisition”), not then controlled by the Company and (ii) to fund transaction costs associated with the MDLLC Acquisition. An additional $16.25 million in senior subordinated notes were issued to the seller in the transaction. In August 2013 we issued an additional $3.8 million of Senior Subordinated notes to the seller as a component of the MDLLC earn-out amount.

 

Senior Secured Second Lien Notes

 

On May 10, 2012, the Company issued $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 8 7/8% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2017 (the “Secured Notes”).

 

The Secured Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated May 10, 2012 (the “Secured Notes Indenture”), among 21C, the guarantors signatory thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association. The Secured Notes are senior secured second lien obligations of 21C and are guaranteed on a senior secured second lien basis by 21C, and each of 21C’s domestic subsidiaries to the extent such guarantor is a guarantor of 21C’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below).

 

Interest is payable on the Secured Notes on each May 15 and November 15, commencing November 15, 2012. On or after May 15, 2014, 21C may redeem some or all of the Secured Notes at redemption prices set forth in the Secured Notes Indenture.

 

The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company, 21C and certain of its subsidiaries to: incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness; pay dividends or redeem or repurchase capital stock; make other restricted payments; incur liens; redeem debt that is junior in right of payment to the Notes; sell or otherwise dispose of assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries; enter into mergers or consolidations; and enter into transactions with affiliates. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. In addition, in certain circumstances, if 21C sells assets or experiences certain changes of control, it must offer to purchase the Notes.

 

21C used the proceeds to repay its existing senior secured revolving credit facility of approximately $63.0 million and the Term Loan B portion of approximately $265.4 million, of its senior secured credit facilities, which were prepaid in their entirety, cancelled and replaced with the new Revolving Credit Facility described below, and to pay related fees and expenses. Any remaining net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes. 21C incurred approximately $14.4 million in transaction fees and expenses, including legal, accounting and other fees and expenses associated with the offering, and the initial purchasers’ discount of $1.7 million.

Interest is payable on the Secured Notes on each January 15 and July 15, commencing July 15, 2014.

 

Senior Secured Credit Facility

 

On May 10, 2012, 21C entered into the Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among 21C, as borrower, the Company, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), collateral agent, issuing bank and as swingline lender, the other agents party thereto and the lenders party thereto.

(b) for loans which are base rate loans, at a rate per annum equal to (i) a floating index rate per annum equal to the greatest of (A) the Administrative Agent’s prime lending rate at such time, (B) the overnight federal funds rate at such time plus ½ of 1%, and (C) the Eurodollar Rate for a Eurodollar loan with a one- month interest period commencing on such day plus 1.00% (provided that solely with respect to loans under the Term Facility, such floating index rate shall not be less than 2.00% per annum), plus (ii) an applicable margin (A) based upon a total leverage pricing grid for loans under the Revolving Credit Facility or (B) equal to 5.50% per annum for loans under the Term Facility.

 

21C will pay certain recurring fees with respect to the Credit Facilities, including (i) fees on the unused commitments of the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility, (ii) letter of credit fees on the aggregate face amounts of outstanding letters of credit and (iii) administration fees.

obligations); incur liens; engage in mergers or other fundamental changes; sell certain property or assets; pay dividends of other distributions; consummate acquisitions; make investments, loans and advances; prepay certain indebtedness, change the nature of their business; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and incur restrictions on the ability of 21C’s subsidiaries to make distributions, advances and asset transfers.  In addition, as of the last business day of each month, 21C will be required to maintain a certain minimum amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents plus availability under the Revolving Credit Facility of not less than $15.0 million.

 

The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including with respect to nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts; material inaccuracy of a representation or warranty when made; failure to perform or observe covenants; cross default to other material indebtedness; bankruptcy and insolvency events; inability to pay debts; monetary judgment defaults; actual or asserted invalidity or impairment of any definitive loan documentation and a change of control.

 

The obligations of 21C under the Credit Facilities are guaranteed by the Company and certain direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of 21C.

 

The Credit Facilities and certain interest rate protection and other hedging arrangements provided by lenders under the Credit Facilities or its affiliates are secured on a first priority basis by security interests in substantially all of 21C’s and each guarantor’s tangible and intangible assets (subject to certain exceptions).

 

The Revolving Credit Facility requires that the Company comply with certain financial covenants, including:

The Revolving Credit Facility also requires that the Company comply with various other covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on new indebtedness, asset sales, capital expenditures, acquisitions and dividends, with which the Company was in compliance as of June 30, 2014.

 

On April 15, 2014, the Company obtained a waiver of borrowing conditions due to a default of not providing audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 within 90 days after year end. The Company paid the administrative agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders a fee equal to 0.125% of such Lender’s aggregate Commitments. The Senior Revolving Credit Facility provides for a 30 day cure period for the filing of the audited annual financial statements. The default was cured with the provision of the audited financial statements to the administrative agent on April 30, 2014.

 

Purchase Money Note Purchase Agreement

 

On May 19, 2014, the Company entered into a Purchase Money Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with Theriac Management Investments, LLC (“Theriac”) (a related party real estate entity owned by certain of the Company’s directors and officers). Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, Theriac loaned to the Company, pursuant to an unsecured purchase money note, the principal amount of $7.4 million. The Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries of the Company will guaranty the obligations under the note.

(a) for Term A Loans, for any interest period, at a rate per annum equal to (i) a floating index rate per annum equal to (A) the rate per annum determined on the basis of the rate for six month dollar deposits appearing on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 A.M., London time, two business days prior to the beginning of such interest period divided by (B) 1.0 minus the then stated maximum rate of all reserve requirements applicable to any member bank of the Federal Reserve System in respect of Eurocurrency funding or liabilities as defined in Regulation D (or any successor category of liabilities under Regulation D) (provided that such floating index rate shall not be less than 1.25% per annum) (the “Eurodollar Rate”), plus (ii) an applicable margin equal to 5.75% per annum (provided that such rate per annum shall be 6.75% if Treasure Coast Medicine, LLC (“Treasure Coast Medicine”) has not become a guarantor of the Term A Loan on or before the first interest payment date on or after February 10, 2014 and until the first occurring interest payment date on which Treasure Coast Medicine is a guarantor of the Term A Loan); and

 

(b) for Term B Loans, for any interest period, payable in cash (a “Cash Interest Payment”) at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Eurodollar Rate, plus (ii) an applicable margin equal to 10.5% per annum (the “Cash Interest Rate”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, 21C East Florida may elect to have the Term B Loans bear interest for each day during any interest period payable as follows: (i) for the interest periods ending July 15, 2014 and January 15, 2015, at a rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate plus 11.75% per annum (the “PIK Interest Rate”), which interest shall be paid on the applicable interest payment date by adding the amount of such interest to the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Loan (a “PIK Interest Payment”), (ii) for the interest periods ending July 15, 2015 and January 15, 2016, (A) one-quarter of the daily principal balance of the Term B Loans at the Cash Interest Rate payable as a Cash Interest Payment, plus (B) three-quarters of the daily principal balance of the Term B Loans at the PIK Interest Rate payable as a PIK Interest Payment, or (iii) for the interest periods ending July 15, 2016 and January 15, 2017, (A) one-half at the Cash Interest Rate as a Cash Interest Payment plus (B) one-half of the daily principal balance of the Term B Loans at the PIK Interest Rate payable as a PIK Interest Payment.

 

The SFRO Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including with respect to nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts; material inaccuracy of a representation or warranty when made; failure to perform or observe covenants; cross default to other material indebtedness; bankruptcy and insolvency events; inability to pay debts; monetary judgment defaults; actual or asserted invalidity or impairment of any definitive loan documentation and a change of control.

 

The obligations under the SFRO Credit Agreement of (i) 21C East Florida are secured on a first priority basis by security interests in substantially all of 21C East Florida’s tangible and intangible assets (subject to certain exceptions) and (ii) Coconut Creek are secured by certain assets of Coconut Creek.

 

On July 22, 2014, 21C East Florida and Coconut Creek, each an indirect subsidiary of the Company, the several lenders and other financial institutions or entities from time to time parties thereto and Cortland Capital Market Services LLC as administrative agent and collateral agent (“Cortland”) entered into a first amendment (the “SFRO Amendment”) to the credit agreement among 21C East Florida, Coconut Creek, Cortland and the several lenders and other financial institutions or entities from time to time parties thereto, dated as of February 10, 2014 (the “Original SFRO Credit Agreement” and, as amended and restated by the SFRO Amendment, the “SFRO Credit Agreement”).

 

The SFRO Amendment provides for an incremental $10.35 million term loan (the “Term A-1 Loan”) in favor of Coconut Creek issued for purposes of (i) refinancing approximately $5.64 million in existing capitalized lease obligations owing to First Financial Corporate Leasing, including a prepayment premium, (ii) repaying the approximately $2.55 million intercompany loan made by 21C to pay the capitalized lease obligations owing to First Financial Corporate Leasing and (iii) pay fees, costs and expenses of the transactions related to the SFRO Amendment.  In addition, the SFRO Amendment provides for the waiver of certain existing events of default under the Original SFRO Credit Agreement.

 

The Term A-1 Loan is subject to interest rates, for any interest period, at a rate per annum equal to a floating index rate per annum equal to LIBOR (provided that such rate shall not be less than 1.25% per annum), plus an applicable margin equal to 9.75% per annum.

 

The obligations of Coconut Creek under the SFRO Amendment are guaranteed (the “SFRO Guarantee”) by SFRO Holdings, LLC, a Florida limited liability company of which Coconut Creek is a wholly owned subsidiary and certain of SFRO Holdings, LLC’s direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries.  The obligations of Coconut Creek under the SFRO Amendment are secured by certain assets of Coconut Creek.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Legal Proceedings

 

The Company is involved in certain legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. It is the opinion of management, based on advice of legal counsel, that such litigation and claims will be resolved without material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

On February 18, 2014, the Company was served with subpoenas from the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health & Human Services acting with the assistance of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida who together have requested the production of medical records of patients treated by certain of the Company’s physicians for the period from January 2007 to present regarding the ordering, billing and medical necessity of certain laboratory services as part of a civil False Claims Act investigation, as well as the Company’s agreements with such physicians. The laboratory services under review relate to the utilization of fluorescence in situ hybridization (“FISH”) laboratory tests ordered by certain of the Company’s employed physicians and performed by the Company.  The Company has recorded a liability of approximately $5.0 million that is included in accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2014.  The recorded estimate is based on a probability weighted analysis of the low-end of the range of the liability that considers the facts currently known by the Company, review of qualitative and quantitative factors, and an assessment of potential outcomes under different scenarios used to assess the Company’s exposure which may be used to determine a potential settlement should the Company decide not to litigate.  The Company’s recording of a liability related to this matter is not an admission of guilt. Depending on how this matter progresses, the exposure may be less than or more than the liability recorded and the Company will continue to reassess and adjust the liability until this matter is settled.  The Company’s estimate of the high-end of the range of exposure is $10.0 million.

 

Based on reviews performed to date, the Company does not believe that it or its physicians knowingly submitted false claims in violation of applicable Medicare statutory or regulatory requirements. The Company is cooperating fully with the subpoena requests.  The Company believes it has a meritorious position and will vigorously defend any claim that may be asserted.

 

15. Segment and geographic information

 

The Company operates in one line of business, which is operating physician group practices. The Company’s operations are organized into two geographically organized groups: the U.S. Domestic operating segment and the International operating segment which are also the reporting segments. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Transactions between reporting segments are properly eliminated. The Company assesses performance of and makes decisions on how to allocate resources to its operating segments based on multiple factors including current and projected facility gross profit and market opportunities. Facility gross profit is defined as total revenues less cost of revenues.

16. Supplemental Consolidating Financial Information

 

21C’s payment obligations under the senior secured credit facility, senior secured second lien notes, and senior subordinated notes are guaranteed by Parent, which owns 100% of 21C and certain domestic subsidiaries of 21C, all of which are, directly or indirectly, 100% owned by 21C (the “Subsidiary Guarantors” and, collectively with Parent, the “Guarantors”). Such guarantees are full, unconditional and joint and several. The consolidated joint ventures, foreign subsidiaries and professional corporations of the Company are non-guarantors. The following supplemental financial information sets forth, on an unconsolidated basis, balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), and statements of cash flows information for Parent, 21C, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the non-guarantor subsidiaries. The supplemental financial information reflects the investment of Parent and 21C and subsidiary guarantors using the equity method of accounting.

Item 2.     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.  This section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties, such as statements about our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. These statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “continue”, “could”, “estimate”, “intend”, “may”, “might”, “plan”, “potential”, “predict”, “should”, or “will” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. While we believe these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. These and other important factors, including those discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in the section titled “Risk Factors” and in the sections titled “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “Form 10-K”) may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply on and as of the date of this Form 10-Q. References in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “we”, “us”, “our” and “the Company and Parent” are references to 21st Century Oncology Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, consolidated professional corporations and associations and unconsolidated affiliates, unless the context requires otherwise. References in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “our treatment centers” refer to owned, managed and hospital based treatment centers.

 

Overview

 

We are the leading global, physician-led provider of integrated cancer care (“ICC”) services. Our physicians provide comprehensive, academic quality, cost-effective coordinated care for cancer patients in personal and convenient community settings (our “ICC model”). We believe we offer a powerful value proposition to patients, hospital systems, payers and risk-taking physician groups by delivering high quality care and good clinical outcomes at lower overall costs through outpatient settings, clinical excellence, physician coordination and scaled efficiency.

 

We operate the largest integrated network of cancer treatment centers and affiliated physicians in the world which, as of June 30, 2014, was comprised of approximately 782 community-based physicians in the fields of radiation oncology, medical oncology, breast, gynecological and general surgery, urology and primary care. Our physicians provide medical services at approximately 389 locations, including our 180 radiation therapy centers. Of the 180 treatment centers, 35 treatment centers were internally developed, 137 were acquired (including two which were transitioned from professional and other arrangements to freestanding), and 8 are operated under professional and other services arrangements. 48 radiation therapy centers operate in partnership with health systems and other clinics and community-based sites. Our 145 cancer treatment centers in the United States are operated predominantly under the 21st Century Oncology brand and are strategically clustered in 31 local markets in 16 states, including Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Rhode Island, and West Virginia. Our 35 international treatment centers in Latin America are operated under the 21st Century Oncology brand or a local brand and, in many cases, are operated with local minority partners, including hospitals. We hold market leading positions in the majority of our local markets and continue to expand our affiliation with physician specialties in closely related areas including gynecological, breast and surgical oncology, medical oncology and urology in a number of our local markets to strengthen our clinical working relationships and to evolve from a freestanding radiation oncology centric model to an ICC model.

 

We use a number of metrics to assist management in evaluating financial condition and operating performance, and the most important follow:

 

·                  the number of Relative Value Units (“RVUs”) (a standard measure of value used in the U.S. Medicare reimbursement formula for physician services) delivered per day in our freestanding centers;

 

·                  the percentage change in RVUs per day in our freestanding centers;

 

·                  the number of treatments delivered per day in our freestanding centers;

 

·                  the average revenue per treatment in our freestanding centers;

 

·                  the number and type of radiation oncology cases completed;

 

·                  the number of treatments per radiation oncology case completed;

 

·                  the revenue per radiation oncology case;

 

·                  the ratio of funded debt to pro-forma adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (leverage ratio); and

 

·                  facility gross profit.

 

Revenue Drivers

 

Our revenue growth is primarily driven by expanding the number of our centers, optimizing the utilization of advanced technologies at our existing centers and benefiting from demographic and population trends in most of our local markets and by providing value added services to other healthcare and provider organizations. New centers are added or acquired based on capacity, demographics and competitive considerations.

Table of Contents

 

The average revenue per treatment is sensitive to the mix of services used in treating a patient’s tumor. The reimbursement rates set by Medicare and commercial payers tend to be higher for more advanced treatment technologies, reflecting their higher complexity. A key part of our business strategy is to make advanced technologies available once supporting economics exist. For example, we have been utilizing IGRT and Gamma Function, a proprietary capability to enable measurement of the actual amount of radiation delivered during a treatment and to provide immediate feedback for adaption of future treatments as well as for quality assurance, where appropriate, now that reimbursement codes are in place for these services.

 

Operating Costs

 

The principal costs of operating a treatment center are (1) the salary and benefits of the physician and technical staff, and (2) equipment and facility costs. The capacity of each physician and technical position is limited to a number of delivered treatments, while equipment and facility costs for a treatment center are generally fixed. These capacity factors cause profitability to be very sensitive to treatment volume. Profitability will tend to increase as resources from fixed costs including equipment and facility costs are utilized.

 

Sources of Revenue By Payer

 

We receive payments for our services rendered to patients from the government Medicare and Medicaid programs, commercial insurers, managed care organizations and our patients directly. Generally, our revenue is determined by a number of factors, including the payer mix, the number and nature of procedures performed and the rate of payment for the procedures. The following table sets forth the percentage of our U.S. domestic net patient service revenue we earned based upon the patients’ primary insurance by category of payer in our last fiscal year and the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Medicare and Medicaid

 

Medicare is a major funding source for the services we provide and government reimbursement developments can have a material effect on operating performance. These developments include the reimbursement amount for each Current Procedural Terminology (“CPT”) service that we provide and the specific CPT services covered by Medicare. CMS, the government agency responsible for administering the Medicare program, administers an annual process for considering changes in reimbursement rates and covered services. We have played, and will continue to play, a role in that process both directly and through the radiation oncology professional societies.

 

Since cancer disproportionately affects elderly people, a significant portion of our U.S. net patient service revenue is derived from the Medicare program, as well as related co-payments. Medicare reimbursement rates are determined by CMS and are lower than our normal charges. Medicaid reimbursement rates are typically lower than Medicare rates; Medicaid payments represent approximately 2.5% of our U.S. net patient service revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

In the final Medicare 2013 Physician Fee Schedule, CMS reduced payments for radiation oncology by 7%. This reduction related to (1) the fourth year of the four-year transition to the utilization of new Physician Practice Information Survey (“PPIS”) data, (2) a change in equipment interest rate assumptions, (3) budget neutrality effects of a proposal to create a new discharge care management code, (4) input changes for certain radiation therapy procedures, and (5) certain other revised radiation oncology codes. The largest of these changes (accounting for 4% of the gross reduction) reflected the transition of the final 25% of PPIS data used in the PERVU methodology. The change in the CMS interest rate policy (accounting for 3% of the gross reduction) reduced interest rate assumptions in the CMS database from 11% to a sliding scale of 5.5% to 8%. CMS also finalized its proposal to create a HCPCS G-code to describe transition care management from a hospital or other institutional stay to a primary physician in the community (accounting for 1% of the gross reduction). While this policy benefited primary care, non-primary care physicians are negatively impacted due to the budget-neutrality of the Medicare 2013 Physician Fee Schedule. The rule also made adjustments (accounting for 1% of the gross reduction) due to the use of new time of care assumptions for IMRT and SBRT. Although the proposed reductions in time of care assumptions alone would have resulted in a gross 7% reduction to radiation oncology, CMS in its final rule included updated cost data submitted by the radiation oncology community for code inputs which reversed the vast majority of the reduction resulting from the new time of care assumptions. Total gross reductions in the final rule were offset by a 2% increase due to certain other revised radiation oncology codes, which resulted in a total net reduction to radiation oncology of 7%.

 

In the proposed Medicare 2014 Physician Fee Schedule, CMS proposed to reduce payments for radiation oncology by 5% overall. This reduction related to a cap on certain radiation oncology services at the hospital outpatient department and ambulatory surgical center’s (“OPD/ASC”) rate [-4%]; reductions to certain radiation oncology codes due to Medicare Economic Index (“MEI”) revisions [-2%]; and offsetting minor increases due to other aspects of the fee schedule [+1%]. Because the cap and MEI policies only applied to freestanding settings, the cut to freestanding centers would likely have been closer to 8%, while hospital-based radiation oncologists would have received an increase in payment under the proposal. In the final Medicare 2014 Physician Fee Schedule, CMS did not finalize its proposal to cap certain radiation oncology services at the OPD/ASC rate. Although CMS did finalize its proposal to revise the MEI [-2% impact], CMS also

Table of Contents

 

incorporated updated relative value units (“RVUs”) for new and existing codes [+3% impact] resulting in a net impact of +1% for radiation oncology overall. Because the MEI policy only applies to freestanding settings, the impact to freestanding centers is approximately flat, while hospital-based radiation oncologists would receive an increase in payment under the final rule.

 

In the proposed Medicare 2015 Physician Fee Schedule, CMS proposed to reduce payments for radiation oncology by 4% overall.  This reduction relates primarily to a proposal to remove the radiation treatment vault as a direct cost input for radiation treatment delivery codes.  Because the proposal only applies to freestanding settings, the cut to freestanding centers would likely be closer to 5%, while hospital based radiation oncologists would receive an increase in payment under the proposal.

 

Medicare reimbursement rates for all procedures under Medicare ultimately are determined by a formula which takes into account a conversion factor (“CF”) which is updated on an annual basis based on the SGR.  For the last several years, the SGR policy has threatened significant cuts to the CF, although Congress has consistently delayed those cuts.  On December 26, 2013, the President signed into law the Pathway for SGR Reform Act of 2013, which prevented the scheduled SGR payment reduction for physicians from taking effect on January 1, 2014.  Instead, the Pathway for SGR Reform Act provided for a 0.5 percent update (to $35.8228) for such services through March 31, 2014.  On April 1, 2014, the President signed H.R. 4302, the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 which extended the $35.8228 conversion factor through 2014 and also provided for a zero percent update through March 31, 2015.  If future SGR reductions are not suspended, and if a permanent “doc fix” is not signed into law, the currently scheduled SGR reimbursement decrease (estimated at more than 20%) will take effect on April 1, 2015. Due to budget neutrality requirements from certain policies in the proposed Medicare 2015 Physician Fee Schedule, the 2015 conversion factor would be slightly adjusted to $35.7977, assuming no SGR cuts and if the rule is finalized as proposed.

 

In addition, under the Budget Control Act of 2011, Medicare providers are cut under a sequestration process by 2% each year relative to baseline spending through 2021 This policy was subsequently extended through 2024.  In the Protecting Access to Medicare Act, the sequestration policy was frontloaded for the year 2024 such that Medicare providers would be cut 4% in the first half of 2024 and 0% in the second half of 2024.

 

Commercial

 

Commercial sources include private health insurance as well as related payments for co-insurance and co-payments. We enter into contracts with private health insurance and other health benefit groups by granting discounts to such organizations in return for the patient volume they provide.

 

Most of our commercial revenue is from managed care business and is attributable to contracts where a set fee is negotiated relative to services provided by our treatment centers. We do not have any contracts that individually represent over 10% of our total U.S. net patient service revenue. We receive our managed care contracted revenue under two primary arrangements. Approximately 98% of our managed care business is attributable to contracts where a fee schedule is negotiated for services provided at our treatment centers. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 approximately 2% of our U.S. net patient service revenue is attributable to contracts where we bear utilization risk. Although the terms and conditions of our managed care contracts vary considerably, they are typically for a one-year term and provide for automatic renewals. If payments by managed care organizations and other private third-party payers decrease, then our total revenues and net income would decrease.

 

Self-Pay

 

Self-pay consists of payments for treatments by patients not otherwise covered by third-party payers, such as government or commercial sources. Because the incidence of cancer is much higher in those over the age of 65, most of our patients have access to Medicare or other insurance and therefore the self-pay portion of our business is less than it would be in other circumstances. However, we are seeing a general increase in the patient responsibility portion of our claims and revenue.

 

We grant a discount on gross charges to self-pay patients not covered under other third party payer arrangements. The discount amounts are excluded from patient service revenue. To the extent that we realize additional losses resulting from nonpayment of the discounted charges, such additional losses are included in the provision for doubtful accounts.

 

Other Material Factors

 

Other material factors that we believe will also impact our future financial performance include:

 

·                  our substantial indebtedness;

 

·                  patient volume and census;

 

·                  continued advances in technology and the related capital requirements;

 

·                  continued affiliation with physician specialties other than radiation oncology;

 

·                  our ability to develop and conduct business with hospitals and other large healthcare organizations in a manner that adequately and attractively compensates us for our services;

 

·                  accounting for business combinations requiring that all acquisition-related costs be expensed as incurred;

 

·                  our ability to achieve identified cost savings and operational efficiencies;

 

·                  increased costs associated with development and optimization of our internal infrastructure; and

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 and 2013

 

MDLLC’s total revenues increased $1.8 million, or 8.2%, from $22.5 million to $24.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013.  Total revenue was positively impacted by $0.6 million of revenue from the acquisition of a center in Guatemala City, Guatemala in January 2014, growth in cases and an improvement in treatment mix offset by the impact of a significant depreciation in the Argentine Peso as compared to the same period in 2013.  Case growth increased by 680 or 17.3% during the quarter.  The trend toward more clinically-advanced treatments, which require more time to complete, continued during the quarter with an increase in the number of higher-revenue IMRT/IGRT treatments and 3D treatments versus 2D treatments as compared to the same period in 2013.

 

Facility gross profit increased $1.3 million, or 11.3% from $12.1 million to $13.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013.  Facility-level gross profit as a percentage of total revenues increased to 55.3% from 53.7%. Lower physician compensation, salaries and benefits, and repairs and maintenance costs as a percentage of revenues offset increases in medical supplies, facility rent, incremental depreciation expense relating to our continued growth and investment in Latin America, and expenses related to two centers which are anticipated to open later in 2014.

 

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 and 2013

 

MDLLC’s total revenues increased $2.4 million, or 5.4%, from $43.1 million to $45.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013.  Total revenue was positively impacted by $1.1 million of revenue from the acquisition of a center in Guatemala City, Guatemala in January 2014, growth in cases and an improvement in treatment mix offset by the impact of a significant depreciation in the Argentine Peso as compared to the same period in 2013.  Case growth increased by 1,354 or 18.0% during the six month period.  The trend toward more clinically-advanced treatments, which require more time to complete, continued during the six month period with an increase in the number of higher-revenue IMRT/IGRT treatments and 3D treatments versus 2D treatments as compared to the same period in 2013.

 

Facility gross profit increased $1.0 million, or 4.0% from $23.9 million to $24.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013.  Facility-level gross profit as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 54.7% from 55.4%. Increases in medical supplies, facility rent, incremental depreciation expense relating to our continued growth and investment in Latin America, expenses related to two centers which are anticipated to open later in 2014, as well as local inflation was offset by a decrease in salaries and benefits and physician compensation.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 and 2013

 

Revenues

 

Net patient service revenue. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, net patient service revenue comprised 92.5% and 98.7%, respectively, of our total revenues.  In our net patient service revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, revenue from the professional-only component of radiation therapy where we do not bill globally and revenue from the practices of medical specialties other than radiation oncology, comprised approximately 30.9% and 29.5%, respectively, of our total revenues.

 

Management fees. Certain of the Company’s physician groups receive payments for their services and treatments rendered to patients covered by Medicare, Medicaid, third-party payors and self-pay.  Management fees are recorded at the amount earned by the Company under the management services agreements. Services rendered by the respective physician groups are billed by the Company, as the exclusive billing agent of the physician groups, to patients, third-party payors, and others. The Company’s management fees are dependent on the EBITDA (or in one case, revenue) of each treatment center. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, management fees comprised 6.3% of our total revenues. These management fees are as a result of the OnCure transaction, which closed on October 25, 2013.

 

Other revenue. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, other revenue comprised approximately 1.2% and 1.3%, respectively, of our total revenues. Other revenue is primarily derived from management services provided to hospital radiation therapy departments, technical services provided to hospital radiation therapy departments, billing services provided to non-affiliated physicians, gain and losses from sale/disposal of medical equipment, equity interest in net earnings/losses of unconsolidated joint ventures and income for equipment leased by joint venture entities.

 

Total revenues. Total revenues increased by $87.8 million, or 49.3%, from $178.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $265.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Total revenue was positively impacted by $81.7 million due to our expansion into new practices and treatments centers in existing local markets and new local markets during 2013 and 2014 through the acquisition of several urology, medical oncology and surgery practices in Arizona, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina and Rhode Island and the acquisition of physician radiation practices in Argentina, Arizona, California, Guatemala, Florida, Indiana, North Carolina, Mexico and the opening of two de novo centers as follows:

Salaries and benefits increased by $36.1 million, or 36.2%, from $99.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $135.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Salaries and benefits as a percentage of total revenues decreased from 56.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to 51.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2014.  Additional staffing of personnel and physicians due to our development and expansion in several urology, medical oncology and surgery practices in Arizona, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina and Rhode Island and the acquisitions of treatment centers in existing local markets during the latter part of 2013 and 2014 contributed $37.7 million to our salaries and benefits. In December 2013, we implemented a new equity-incentive plan, which decreased stock compensation by approximately $0.1 million in 2014. For existing practices and centers within our local markets, salaries and benefits decreased $1.5 million due to decreases in our compensation arrangements with certain radiation oncologists.

 

Medical supplies. Medical supplies increased by $10.1 million, or 70.1%, from $14.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $24.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Medical supplies as a percentage of total revenues increased from 8.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to 9.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Medical supplies consist of patient positioning devices, radioactive seed supplies, supplies used for other brachytherapy services, pharmaceuticals used in the delivery of radiation therapy treatments and chemotherapy-related drugs and other medical supplies. Approximately $7.7 million of the increase was related to our development and expansion in several urology, medical oncology and surgery practices in Arizona, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina and Rhode Island and the acquisitions of treatment centers in existing local markets during the latter part of 2013 and 2014. In our remaining practices and centers in existing local markets, medical supplies increased by approximately $2.4 million. These pharmaceuticals and chemotherapy medical supplies are principally reimbursable by third-party payers.

 

Facility rent expenses. Facility rent expenses increased by $6.5 million, or 60.8%, from $10.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $17.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Facility rent expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased from 6.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to 6.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Facility rent expenses consist of rent expense associated with our treatment center locations.  Approximately $6.3 million of the increase was related to our development and expansion in several urology, medical oncology and surgery practices in Arizona, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina and Rhode Island and the acquisitions of treatment centers in existing local markets during the latter part of 2013 and 2014. Facility rent expense in our remaining practices and centers in existing local markets increased by approximately $0.2 million.

 

Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses increased by $5.1 million or 46.4%, from $11.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $16.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014.  Other operating expense as a percentage of total revenues decreased from 6.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to 6.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2014.  Other operating expenses consist of repairs and maintenance of equipment, equipment rental and contract labor. Approximately $5.1 million of the increase was related to our development and expansion in several urology, medical oncology and surgery practices in Arizona, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina and Rhode Island and the acquisitions of treatment centers in existing local markets during the latter part of 2013 and 2014. Approximately $0.2 million increase relates to equipment rental expense relating to medical equipment refinancing, offset by a decrease of approximately $0.2 million in our remaining practices and centers in existing local markets.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by $10.9 million or 47.1%, from $23.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $34.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. General and administrative expenses principally consist of professional service fees, consulting, office supplies and expenses, insurance, marketing and travel costs. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased from 13.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to 12.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2014.  The net increase of $10.9 million in general and administrative expenses was due to an increase of approximately $5.5 million relating to our development and expansion in several urology, medical oncology and surgery practices in Arizona, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina and Rhode Island and the acquisitions of treatment centers in existing local markets during the latter part of 2013 and 2014. In addition, there was an increase of approximately $1.7 million in litigation settlements with certain physicians and legal and consulting costs associated with the Medicare diagnostic matter, $0.5 million related to expenses for consulting services for the CMS 2014 fee schedule, $1.5 million in diligence costs relating to acquisitions and potential acquisitions of physician practices, $0.1 million relating to our rebranding initiatives, and an increase of approximately $1.6 million in our remaining practices and treatments centers in our existing local markets.

 

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $6.8 million or 44.7%, from $15.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $22.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of total revenues decreased from 8.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to 8.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2014.  The change in depreciation and amortization was due to an increase of approximately $7.2 million relating to our development and expansion in several urology, medical oncology and surgery practices in Arizona, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina and Rhode Island and the acquisitions of treatment centers in existing local markets during the latter part of 2013 and 2014. An increase in capital expenditures related to our investment in advanced radiation treatment technologies and software maintenance in certain local markets increased our depreciation and amortization by approximately $0.6 million offset by a decrease of approximately $1.0 million in amortization of certain non-compete agreements.

 

Provision for doubtful accounts. The provision for doubtful accounts increased by $1.4 million, or 70.1%, from $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014.  The provision for doubtful accounts as a percentage of total revenues increased from 1.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to 1.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2014. As a result of our recent acquisitions, we continue to make progress in improving the overall collection process, including centralization of the prior authorization process, with standardization process supporting peer to peer justification of medical necessity, improvements in payment posting timeliness, electronic submission of documentation to Medicare carriers, Medicaid eligibility retro scrubbing of self pay patients, automated insurance rebilling, focused escalation process for claims in Medical Review with insurers, collector productivity and quality tracking and monitoring, and improved processes at the treatment centers to collect co-pay amounts at the time of service.

 

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, increased by $9.4 million, or 46.0%, from $20.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $29.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase is primarily attributable to additional debt obligations predominately relating to our senior credit facility.  As of June 30, 2014, we had approximately $90.0 million outstanding in our Term Facility and $79.5 million outstanding in our Revolver Credit Facility. The increase is also attributable to recent acquisitions. Pursuant to the SFRO acquisition we entered into the SFRO Credit Agreement which provides for a $60 million Term B Loan, $7.9 million Term A Loan, and assumed capital lease obligations. The OnCure transaction included the issuance of $82.5 million in senior secured notes which accrue interest at a rate of 11.75% per annum and additional capital lease financing.

 

Impairment loss. As we began to experience some liquidity issues after terminating our previously planned initial public offering, we began to have discussions with an ad hoc group of holders of our outstanding notes.  On July 29, 2014, we entered into a Recapitalization Support Agreement with Vestar Capital Partners, Inc., our equity sponsor (“Vestar”) and the holders or managers of 72% of the aggregate principal amount of the indebtedness we incurred under that certain Indenture, dated as of April 20, 2010, among us, the guarantors party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Consenting Subordinated Noteholders”).

 

The Recapitalization Support Agreement sets forth the terms through which we expect to either (a) obtain additional liquidity through an equity contribution or subordinated debt incurred in a minimum amount of $150 million on or before October 1, 2014 (the “Capital Contribution”) or (b) consummate a Recapitalization consistent with the material terms and conditions described in the Recapitalization Term Sheet attached to the Recapitalization Support Agreement.  Pursuant to the Recapitalization Support Agreement, if we and Vestar fail to obtain a signed letter of intent for a Capital Contribution reasonably acceptable to the Required Consenting Subordinated Noteholders (as defined in the Recapitalization Support Agreement) on or before August 31, 2014, we must refrain from pursuing the Capital Contribution and must pursue the Recapitalization.  Absent obtaining the Capital Contribution and upon the effectiveness of the Recapitalization, the Subordinated Noteholder Claims (as defined in the Recapitalization Support Agreement) would be exchanged for 95% of the new equity interests in the reorganized Company, subject to dilution pursuant to a management incentive plan and new warrants as set forth in the Recapitalization Term Sheet, with existing equity holders receiving 5% of the new equity interests.

 

We performed an interim impairment test for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. We completed the first step of the impairment test as of June 30, 2014 and determined that the carrying amount of one of the reporting units exceeds its estimated implied fair value, thereby requiring performance of the second step of the impairment test to calculate the amount of the impairment. We, with the assistance of an independent valuation firm, have begun the second step of the impairment test and expect the resulting valuation report to be completed on or before September 30, 2014. However, because an impairment loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, we have, in accordance with ASC 350, recorded a preliminary estimated non-cash impairment charge of approximately $182.0 million in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

 

Equity initial public offering expenses. In May, 2014, we determined due to market conditions to postpone the initial public offering of our equity securities.  As a result of the postponement and entering into the Recapitalization Support Agreement with Consenting Subordinated Noteholders, we wrote-off approximately $4.2 million in expenses associated with the initial public offering.

 

Gain on the sale of an interest in a joint venture.  In June 2013, we sold our 45% interest in an unconsolidated joint venture which operated a radiation treatment center in Providence, Rhode Island in partnership with a hospital to provide stereotactic radio-surgery through the use of a cyberknife for approximately $1.5 million, and recorded a respective gain on the sale.

Fair value adjustment of earn-out liability.  On October 25, 2013, we completed the acquisition of OnCure. The transaction was funded through a combination of cash on hand, borrowings from our senior secured credit facility and the issuance of $82.5 million in senior secured notes of OnCure, which accrue interest at a rate of 11.75% per annum and mature January 15, 2017, of which $7.5 million included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, is subject to escrow arrangements and will be released to holders upon satisfaction of certain conditions (the “earn out payment”).  The Company recorded an estimated earn out payment at the time of the closing of the transaction. The earn out payment is contingent upon certain acquired centers attaining earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization targets, is due on December 31, 2015, and is payable through the issuance of the 11.75% senior secured notes.  At June 30, 2014, we estimated the fair value of the contingent earn out liability and increased the liability due to the seller by approximately $0.2 million. We recorded the $0.2 million to expense in the fair value adjustment caption in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Income taxes.  Our effective tax rate was (0.5)% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and (7.6)% for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The change in the effective rate for the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same period of the year prior is primarily the result of recording of an impairment against goodwill of the domestic operations, the release of previously recorded reserves related to the settlement of the 2007 and 2008 US federal tax audit in addition to the relative mix of earnings and tax rates across jurisdictions and the application of ASC 740-270 to exclude certain jurisdictions for which we are unable to benefit from losses.  As a result, on an absolute dollar basis, the expense for income taxes changed by $0.5 million from the income tax expense of $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to an income tax expense of $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Our future effective tax rates could be affected by changes in the relative mix of taxable income and taxable loss jurisdictions, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets or liabilities, or changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof.  We monitor the assumptions used in estimating the annual effective tax rate and make adjustments, if required, throughout the year.  If actual results differ from the assumptions used in estimating our annual effective tax rates, future income tax expense (benefit) could be materially affected.

 

In addition, we are periodically under audit by federal, state, or local authorities in the areas of income taxes and other taxes. These audits include questioning the timing and amount of deductions and compliance with federal, state, and local tax laws. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes from these audits to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes.  To the extent we prevail in matters for which accruals have been established or are required to pay amounts in excess of such accruals, the effective tax rate could be materially affected.

 

Net loss. Net loss increased by $185.1 million, from $19.5 million in net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $204.6 million net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2014.  Net loss represents 11.0% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 77.0% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 and 2013

 

Revenues

 

Net patient service revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, net patient service revenue comprised 92.1% and 98.8%, respectively, of our total revenues.  In our net patient service revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, revenue from the professional-only component of radiation therapy where we do not bill globally and revenue from the practices of medical specialties other than radiation oncology, comprised approximately 30.6% and 30.0%, respectively, of our total revenues.

 

Management fees. Certain of the Company’s physician groups receive payments for their services and treatments rendered to patients covered by Medicare, Medicaid, third-party payors and self-pay.  Management fees are recorded at the amount earned by the Company under the management services agreements. Services rendered by the respective physician groups are billed by the Company, as the exclusive billing agent of the physician groups, to patients, third-party payors, and others. The Company’s management fees are dependent on the EBITDA (or in one case, revenue) of each treatment center. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, management fees comprised 6.7% of our total revenues. These management fees are as a result of the OnCure transaction, which closed on October 25, 2013.

 

Other revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, other revenue comprised approximately 1.2%, of our total revenues. Other revenue is primarily derived from management services provided to hospital radiation therapy departments, technical services provided to hospital radiation therapy departments, billing services provided to non-affiliated physicians, gain and losses from sale/disposal of medical equipment, equity interest in net earnings/losses of unconsolidated joint ventures and income for equipment leased by joint venture entities.

 

Total revenues. Total revenues increased by $147.2 million, or 41.8%, from $352.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $499.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Total revenue was positively impacted by $140.5 million due to our expansion into new practices and treatments centers in existing local markets and new local markets during 2013 and 2014 through the acquisition of several urology, medical oncology and surgery practices in Arizona, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina and Rhode Island and the acquisition of physician radiation practices in Argentina, Arizona, California, Guatemala, Florida, Indiana, North Carolina, Mexico and the opening of two de novo centers as follows:

Revenue from CMS for the 2014 PQRI program increased approximately $0.2 million and revenues in our existing local markets and practices increased by approximately $6.5 million.

 

Expenses

 

Salaries and benefits. Salaries and benefits increased by $65.8 million, or 33.6%, from $195.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $261.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Salaries and benefits as a percentage of total revenues decreased from 55.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to 52.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2014.  Additional staffing of personnel and physicians due to our development and expansion in several urology, medical oncology and surgery practices in Arizona, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina and Rhode Island and the acquisitions of treatment centers in existing local markets during the latter part of 2013 and 2014 contributed $63.8 million to our salaries and benefits. In December 2013, we implemented a new equity-incentive plan, which decreased stock compensation by approximately $0.2 million in 2014. For existing practices and centers within our local markets, salaries and benefits increased $2.2 million due to increased salaries related to our physician liaison program and the expansion of our senior management team offset by decreases in our compensation arrangements with certain radiation oncologists.

 

Medical supplies. Medical supplies increased by $16.0 million, or 52.9%, from $30.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $46.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Medical supplies as a percentage of total revenues increased from 8.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to 9.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Medical supplies consist of patient positioning devices, radioactive seed supplies, supplies used for other brachytherapy services, pharmaceuticals used in the delivery of radiation therapy treatments and chemotherapy-related drugs and other medical supplies. Approximately $13.1 million of the increase was related to our development and expansion in several urology, medical oncology and surgery practices in Arizona, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina and Rhode Island and the acquisitions of treatment centers in existing local markets during the latter part of 2013 and 2014. In our remaining practices and centers in existing local markets, medical supplies increased by approximately $2.9 million. These pharmaceuticals and chemotherapy medical supplies are principally reimbursable by third-party payers.

Facility rent expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased from 5.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to 6.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Facility rent expenses consist of rent expense associated with our treatment center locations.  Approximately $11.5 million of the increase was related to our development and expansion in several urology, medical oncology and surgery practices in Arizona, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina and Rhode Island and the acquisitions of treatment centers in existing local markets during the latter part of 2013 and 2014. Facility rent expense in our remaining practices and centers in existing local markets increased by approximately $0.3 million.

 

Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses increased by $9.2 million or 43.3%, from $21.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $30.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014.  Other operating expense as a percentage of total revenues increased from 6.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to 6.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2014.  Other operating expenses consist of repairs and maintenance of equipment, equipment rental and contract labor. Approximately $9.1 million of the increase was related to our development and expansion in several urology, medical oncology and surgery practices in Arizona, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina and Rhode Island and the acquisitions of treatment centers in existing local markets during the latter part of 2013 and 2014. Approximately $0.3 million increase relates to equipment rental expense relating to medical equipment refinancing, offset by a decrease of approximately $0.2 million in our remaining practices and centers in existing local markets.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by $20.3 million or 46.2%, from $43.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $64.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. General and administrative expenses principally consist of professional service fees, consulting, office supplies and expenses, insurance, marketing and travel costs. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased from 12.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to 12.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2014.  The net increase of $20.3 million in general and administrative expenses was due to an increase of approximately $10.1 million relating to our development and expansion in several urology, medical oncology and surgery practices in Arizona, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina and Rhode Island and the acquisitions of treatment centers in existing local markets during the latter part of 2013 and 2014. In addition there was an increase of approximately $1.8 million in litigation settlements with certain physicians and legal and consulting costs associated with the Medicare diagnostic matter, $0.9 million related to expenses for consulting services for the CMS 2014 fee schedule, $4.8 million in diligence costs relating to acquisitions and potential acquisitions of physician practices, $0.3 million relating to our rebranding initiatives, and an increase of approximately $2.4 million in our remaining practices and treatments centers in our existing local markets.

 

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $12.4 million or 40.6%, from $30.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $42.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of total revenues decreased from 8.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to 8.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2014.  The change in depreciation and amortization was due to an increase of approximately $12.9 million relating to our development and expansion in several urology, medical oncology and surgery practices in Arizona, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina and Rhode Island and the acquisitions of treatment centers in existing local markets during the latter part of 2013 and 2014. An increase in capital expenditures related to our investment in advanced radiation treatment technologies and software maintenance in certain local markets increased our depreciation and amortization by approximately $0.8 million offset by a decrease of approximately $1.3 million in amortization of certain non-compete agreements.

 

Provision for doubtful accounts. The provision for doubtful accounts increased by $2.6 million, or 51.7%, from $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $7.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014.  The provision for doubtful accounts as a percentage of total revenues increased from 1.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to 1.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. As a result of our recent acquisitions, we continue to make progress in improving the overall collection process, including centralization of the prior authorization process, with standardization process supporting peer to peer justification of medical necessity, improvements in payment posting timeliness, electronic submission of documentation to Medicare carriers, Medicaid eligibility retro scrubbing of self pay patients, automated insurance rebilling, focused escalation process for claims in Medical Review with insurers, collector productivity and quality tracking and monitoring, and improved processes at the treatment centers to collect co-pay amounts at the time of service.

 

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, increased by $17.0 million, or 42.1%, from $40.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $57.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase is primarily attributable to additional debt obligations predominately relating to our senior credit facility.  As of June 30, 2014, we had approximately $90.0 million outstanding in our Term Facility and $79.5 million outstanding in our Revolver Credit Facility. The increase is also attributable to recent acquisitions. Pursuant to the SFRO acquisition we entered into the SFRO Credit Agreement which provides for a $60 million Term B Loan, $7.9 million Term A Loan, and assumed capital lease obligations. The OnCure transaction included the issuance of $82.5 million in senior secured notes which accrue interest at a rate of 11.75% per annum and additional capital lease financing.

 

Impairment loss. As we began to experience some liquidity issues after terminating our previously planned initial public offering, we began to have discussions with an ad hoc group of holders of our outstanding notes.  On July 29, 2014, we entered into a Recapitalization Support Agreement with Vestar and the holders or managers of 72% of the aggregate principal amount of the indebtedness we incurred under that certain Indenture, dated as of April 20, 2010, among us, the guarantors party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Consenting Subordinated Noteholders”).

 

The Recapitalization Support Agreement sets forth the terms through which we expect to either (a) obtain additional liquidity through an equity contribution or subordinated debt incurred in a minimum amount of $150 million on or before October 1, 2014 (the “Capital Contribution”) or (b) consummate a Recapitalization consistent with the material terms and conditions described in the Recapitalization Term Sheet attached to the Recapitalization Support Agreement.  Pursuant to the Recapitalization Support Agreement, if we and Vestar fail to obtain a signed letter of intent for a Capital Contribution reasonably acceptable to the Required Consenting Subordinated Noteholders (as defined in the Recapitalization Support Agreement) on or before August 31, 2014, we must refrain from pursuing the Capital Contribution and must pursue the Recapitalization.  Absent obtaining the Capital Contribution and upon the effectiveness of the Recapitalization, the Subordinated Noteholder Claims (as defined in the Recapitalization Support Agreement) would be exchanged for 95% of the new equity interests in the reorganized Company, subject to dilution pursuant to a management incentive plan and new warrants as set forth in the Recapitalization Term Sheet, with existing equity holders receiving 5% of the new equity interests.

 

We performed an interim impairment test for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. We completed the first step of the impairment test as of June 30, 2014 and determined that the carrying amount of one of the reporting units exceeds its estimated implied fair value, thereby requiring performance of the second step of the impairment test to calculate the amount of the impairment. We, with the assistance of an independent valuation firm, have begun the second step of the impairment test and expect the resulting valuation report to be completed on or before September 30, 2014. However, because an impairment loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, we have, in accordance with ASC 350, recorded a preliminary estimated non-cash impairment charge of approximately $182.0 million in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

 

Equity initial public offering expenses. In May, 2014, we determined due to market conditions to postpone the initial public offering of our equity securities.  As a result of the postponement and entering into the Recapitalization Support Agreement with Consenting Subordinated Noteholders, we wrote-off approximately $4.2 million in expenses associated with the initial public offering.

 

Loss on sale leaseback transaction. In March 2014, the Company entered into a sale leaseback transaction with a financial institution.  The sale leaseback transaction related to medical equipment.  Proceeds from the sale were approximately $5.7 million.  The Company recorded a loss on the sale leaseback transaction of approximately $0.1 million.

Gain on the sale of an interest in a joint venture.  In June 2013, we sold our 45% interest in an unconsolidated joint venture which operated a radiation treatment center in Providence, Rhode Island in partnership with a hospital to provide stereotactic radio-surgery through the use of a cyberknife for approximately $1.5 million, and recorded a respective gain on the sale.

 

Fair value adjustment of earn-out liability.  On October 25, 2013, we completed the acquisition of OnCure. The transaction was funded through a combination of cash on hand, borrowings from our senior secured credit facility and the issuance of $82.5 million in senior secured notes of OnCure, which accrue interest at a rate of 11.75% per annum and mature January 15, 2017, of which $7.5 million included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, is subject to escrow arrangements and will be released to holders upon satisfaction of certain conditions (the “earn out payment”).  The Company recorded an estimated earn out payment at the time of the closing of the transaction. The earn out payment is contingent upon certain acquired centers attaining earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization targets, is due on December 31, 2015, and is payable through the issuance of the 11.75% senior secured notes.  At June 30, 2014, we estimated the fair value of the contingent earn out liability and increased the liability due to the seller by approximately $0.4 million. We recorded the $0.4 million to expense in the fair value adjustment caption in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Income taxes.  Our effective tax rate was (1.3)% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and (8.8)% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The change in the effective rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period of the year prior is primarily the result of recording of an impairment against goodwill of the domestic operations, the release of previously recorded reserves related to the settlement of the 2007 and 2008 US federal tax audit in addition to the relative mix of earnings and tax rates across jurisdictions and the application of ASC 740-270 to exclude certain jurisdictions for which we are unable to benefit from losses.  As a result, on an absolute dollar basis, the expense for income taxes changed by $0.2 million from the income tax expense of $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to an income tax expense of $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Our future effective tax rates could be affected by changes in the relative mix of taxable income and taxable loss jurisdictions, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets or liabilities, or changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof.  We monitor the assumptions used in estimating the annual effective tax rate and make adjustments, if required, throughout the year.  If actual results differ from the assumptions used in estimating our annual effective tax rates, future income tax expense (benefit) could be materially affected.

 

In addition, we are periodically under audit by federal, state, or local authorities in the areas of income taxes and other taxes. These audits include questioning the timing and amount of deductions and compliance with federal, state, and local tax laws. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes from these audits to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes.  To the extent we prevail in matters for which accruals have been established or are required to pay amounts in excess of such accruals, the effective tax rate could be materially affected.

 

Net loss. Net loss increased by $194.9 million, from $38.9 million in net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $233.8 million net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2014.  Net loss represents 11.1% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 46.8% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Seasonality and Quarterly Fluctuations

 

Our results of operations historically have fluctuated on a quarterly basis and can be expected to continue to fluctuate. Many of the patients of our Florida treatment centers are part-time residents in Florida during the winter months. Hence, these treatment centers have historically experienced higher utilization rates during the winter months than during the remainder of the year. In addition, volume is typically lower in the summer months due to traditional vacation periods.  60 of our 180 radiation treatment centers are located in Florida.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We are highly leveraged. As of June 30, 2014, we had $1.1 billion of long-term debt outstanding. Over the next year, the interest and principal payments due under our various debt agreements are approximately $98.3 million and $30.9 million, respectively. As of August 25, 2014, excluding SFRO Holdings, LLC, we had unrestricted cash of approximately $31.5 million. We had to draw on our revolving credit facility in order to make the April 15, 2014 interest payment of approximately $18.8 million. In addition, we routinely extend vendor payments beyond stated terms during the periods preceding semi-annual interest payments in order to conserve cash and liquidity. Working capital was $9.1 million at December 31, 2013 and declined to a working capital deficit of $(20.2) million at June 30, 2014. On May 15 and July 15, 2014 we paid interest payments of approximately $15.5 million and $7.1 million, respectively from our unrestricted cash balance.

 

We have experienced and continue to experience losses from operations. We reported a net loss of approximately $78.2 million, $151.1 million, and $349.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively, and $233.8 million and $38.9 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These continuing losses, coupled with recent costs and expenses associated with our attempted initial public offering and recapitalization efforts have worsened our liquidity position.

 

Our high level of debt could have adverse effects on our business and financial condition. Specifically, our high level of debt could have important consequences, including the following:

 

·                              making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to debt;

·                              limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general corporate requirements;

·                              requiring a substantial portion of our cash flows to be dedicated to debt service payments instead of other purposes;

·                              increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

·                              limiting our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in the industry in which we compete;

·                              placing us at a disadvantage compared to other, less leveraged competitors; and

·                              increasing our cost of borrowing.

 

Our ability to make scheduled payments on and to refinance our indebtedness depends on, and is subject to, our financial and operating performance, which in turn is affected by general and regional economic, financial, competitive, business and other factors beyond our control, including the availability of financing in the international banking and capital markets.

 

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on obtaining additional capital, restructuring its indebtedness, and, ultimately, achieving profitable operations.  Our current projections indicate that we will not be able to make our interest payments on our $380.1 million Senior Subordinated Notes in October 2014, which will cause a potential default on our other indebtedness.  Consequently, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We have several initiatives designed to increase revenue and profitability through strategic acquisitions, improvements in commercial payer contracting, development and expansion of our ICC model, and realignment of physician compensation arrangements. In addition, we are actively exploring alternatives to obtain additional liquidity or recapitalize ourselves, as described further below.

 

Our principal capital requirements are for working capital, acquisitions, medical equipment replacement and expansion and de novo treatment center development. Working capital and medical equipment are funded through cash from operations, supplemented, as needed, by five-year fixed rate lease lines of credit. Borrowings under these lease lines of credit are recorded on our balance sheets. The construction of de novo treatment centers is funded directly by third parties and then leased to us. We finance our operations, capital expenditures and acquisitions through a combination of borrowings and cash generated from operations.

 

Recapitalization Support Agreement

 

As we began to experience some liquidity issues after terminating our previously planned initial public offering, we began to have discussions with an ad hoc group of holders of our outstanding notes.  On July 29, 2014, we, and each of their direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into a Recapitalization Support Agreement (the “Recapitalization Support Agreement”) with Vestar and the holders or managers of 72% of the aggregate principal amount of the indebtedness we incurred under that certain Indenture (as amended from time to time, the “Subordinated Notes Indenture” and the notes thereunder, the “Subordinated Notes”), dated as of April 20, 2010, among us, the guarantors party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Consenting Subordinated Noteholders”).

 

The Recapitalization Support Agreement sets forth the terms through which we expect to either (a) obtain additional liquidity through an equity contribution or subordinated debt incurred in a minimum amount of $150 million on or before October 1, 2014 (the “Capital Contribution”) or (b) consummate a recapitalization (the “Recapitalization”) consistent with the material terms and conditions described in the term sheet (the “Recapitalization Term Sheet”) attached to the Recapitalization Support

Agreement.  Pursuant to the Recapitalization Support Agreement, if the Company and Vestar fail to obtain a signed letter of intent for a Capital Contribution reasonably acceptable to the Required Consenting Subordinated Noteholders (as defined in the Recapitalization Support Agreement) on or before August 31, 2014, the Company must refrain from pursuing the Capital Contribution and must pursue the Recapitalization.  Absent the Company obtaining the Capital Contribution and upon the effectiveness of the Recapitalization, the Subordinated Noteholder Claims in the amount of $380.1 million (as defined in the Recapitalization Support Agreement) would be exchanged for 95% of the new equity interests in the reorganized Company, subject to dilution pursuant to a management incentive plan and new warrants as set forth in the Recapitalization Term Sheet, with existing equity holders receiving 5% of the new equity interests. Pursuant to the Recapitalization, existing equity holders of the Company will also receive warrants providing the right to acquire 10% of the equity in the reorganized Company at an exercise price corresponding to the principal amount of the Subordinated Notes outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest as of the effective date of the Recapitalization.  Further adjustments to the Recapitalization may be required to reflect any additional debt-to-equity conversion, new equity investments or senior debt that may be raised in connection with the consummation of the Recapitalization and the parties will work in good faith to further adjust the terms set forth in the Term Sheet to reflect the change in the value of each party’s recovery resulting from such required changes.

 

The Recapitalization Support Agreement may be terminated upon the occurrence of certain events, including: (a) certain breaches by the Company, Vestar, or the Consenting Subordinated Noteholders under the Recapitalization Support Agreement; (b) the failure to meet certain milestones related to implementing the Recapitalization and (c) a determination by the Company’s board of directors that continued performance under the Recapitalization Support Agreement would be inconsistent with the exercise of its fiduciary duties under applicable law. We expect to incur significant transaction expenses in connection with the Recapitalization Support Agreement which may be partially offset by reductions in executive salaries,

 

Cash Flows From Operating Activities

 

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2014 was $3.6 million and $9.9 million, respectively.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $6.3 million from $3.6 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 to $9.9 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2014 predominately due to management of our vendor payables and increased cash flow related to our OnCure and SFRO transactions.  As of June 30, 2014, we had approximately $90.0 million outstanding in our Term Facility and $79.5 million outstanding in our Revolver Credit Facility. In June 2014, we recorded an impairment loss of approximately $182.0 million as a result of the recapitalization support agreement we entered into with certain subordinated noteholders.

 

Cash at June 30, 2014 held by our foreign subsidiaries was $3.1 million.  We consider these cash flows to be permanently invested in our foreign subsidiaries and therefore do not anticipate repatriating any excess cash flows to the U.S.  We believe that the magnitude of our growth opportunities outside of the U.S. will cause us to continuously reinvest foreign earnings. We do not require access to the earnings and cash flow of our international subsidiaries to fund our U.S. operations.

 

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2014 was $45.6 million and $86.8 million, respectively.

 

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $41.2 million from $45.6 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 to $86.8 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2014.  In 2014, net cash used in investing activities was impacted by approximately $40.8 million in the acquisition of medical practices. On January 13, 2014, CarePoint purchased the membership interest in Quantum Care, LLC for approximately $1.9 million. On January 15, 2014, we purchased 69% interest in a legal entity that operates a radiation oncology facility in Guatemala City, Guatemala for approximately $0.9 million plus the assumption of approximately $3.1 million in debt. On February 10, 2014, we purchased a 65% equity interest in South Florida Radiation Oncology (“SFRO”) for approximately $60 million, subject to working capital and other customary adjustments. The transaction was primarily funded with the proceeds of a new $60 million term loan facility that accrues interest at the Eurodollar Rate plus a margin of 10.50% per annum and matures on January 15, 2017 and $7.9 million of term loans to refinance existing SFRO debt. In addition we reflected approximately $11.7 million in restricted cash relating to the SFRO existing debt and an indemnity escrow for the determination of the final purchase price.  On March 26, 2014 we purchased 75% interest in a legal entity that operates a radiation oncology facility in Villa Maria, Argentina for approximately $0.5 million. During 2014, we acquired the assets of several physician practices in Florida for approximately $0.3 million. During 2014, we purchased approximately $33.1 million in property and equipment. We have one of the most technically-advanced radiation equipment platforms in the industry. A significant portion of this spend is for growth related projects.  This includes the upgrade of technology and equipment at the legacy OnCure centers to expand capacity as well as add SRS capacity, and Medical Developers’ growth.

 

In 2013, net cash used in investing activities was impacted by approximately $0.1 million in cash paid for the assets of several physician practices in Arizona and North Carolina, and approximately $17.7 million in cash paid for the assets of five radiation oncology practices and a urology group located in Lee and Collier Counties in Southwest Florida in May 2013. In June 2013, we contributed our Casa Grande, Arizona radiation physician practice and approximately $5.0 million to purchase a 55.0% interest in a joint venture In June 2013, we funded an initial deposit of approximately $5.0 million into an escrow account for the initial deposit for the purchase of medical practices and is reflected as restricted cash on our balance sheet. In 2013, net cash used in investing activities was impacted by approximately $0.5 million in contribution of capital to an unconsolidated joint venture. In June 2013, we sold our 45% interest in an unconsolidated joint venture which operated a radiation treatment center in Providence, Rhode Island for approximately $1.5 million. During 2013, we entered into foreign exchange option contracts expiring on June 2014 to convert a significant portion of our forecasted foreign currency denominated net income into U.S. dollars to limit the adverse impact of a weakening Argentine Peso against the U.S. dollar. The cost of the option contracts, were approximately $0.2 million.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 and 2014 was $38.4 million and $85.2 million, respectively.

 

In January 2014, we sold a 20% share of our Southern New England Regional Cancer Care joint venture each to Care New England Health System (“CNE”) and Roger Williams Medical Center.  Also during the quarter CNE acquired a 20% interest in our Roger Williams Medical Center joint venture. We received payments of approximately $1.3 million from the issuance of noncontrolling interests in these joint ventures.

 

On February 10, 2014, 21C East Florida and South Florida Radiation Oncology Coconut Creek, LLC (“Coconut Creek”), a subsidiary of SFRO, as borrowers (the “Borrowers”), the several lenders and other financial institutions or entities from time to time parties thereto and Cortland Capital Market Services LLC as administrative agent and collateral agent entered into a new credit agreement (the “SFRO Credit Agreement”).  The SFRO Credit Agreement provides for a $60 million Term B Loan in favor of 21C East Florida (“Term B Loan”) and $7.9 million Term A Loan in favor of Coconut Creek issued for purposes of refinancing existing SFRO debt (“Term A Loan” and together with the Term B Loan, the “SFRO Term Loans”).  The SFRO Term Loans each have a maturity date of January 15, 2017.  We incurred approximately $1.0 million in deferred financing costs relating to the SFRO debt.

 

On October 25, 2013, we completed the acquisition of OnCure. The transaction included the issuance of $82.5 million in senior secured notes of OnCure, which accrue interest at a rate of 11.75% per annum and mature January 15, 2017, of which $7.5 million is subject to escrow arrangements and will be released to holders upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Interest is payable on the Secured Notes on each January 15 and July 15, commencing July 15, 2014.

 

On August 28, 2013, we entered into an Amendment Agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”) to the credit agreement among us, 21st Century Oncology, Inc. (“21C”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, the institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders, the Administrative Agent named therein and the other agents and arrangers named therein, dated as of May 10, 2012 (the “Original Credit Agreement” and, as amended and restated by the Amendment Agreement, the “Credit Agreement”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment Agreement, the amendments to the Original Credit Agreement became effective on August 29, 2013.

 

The Credit Agreement provides for credit facilities consisting of (i) a $90 million term loan facility (the “Term Facility”) and (ii) a revolving credit facility provided for up to $100 million of revolving extensions of credit outstanding at any time (including revolving loans, swingline loans and letters of credit) (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and together with the Term Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). The Term Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility each have a maturity date of October 15, 2016.

 

As a result of the Amendment Agreement, the proceeds of $87.75 million (net of original issue discount of $2.25 million) from the term loan facility was used to pay down approximately $62.5 million in revolver loans and accrued interest and fees of approximately $0.4 million. We incurred approximately $1.4 million in transaction fees and expenses, including legal, accounting and other fees and expenses in connection with the amendment agreement.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we paid approximately $2.6 million in costs associated with the initial public offering costs we incurred of approximately $4.2 million. We had partnership distributions from non-controlling interests of approximately $0.7 million and $1.0 million in 2013 and 2014, respectively.

 

Senior Subordinated Notes

 

On April 20, 2010, we consummated a debt offering in an aggregate principal amount of $310.0 million of 97/8% senior subordinated notes due 2017, and repaid our existing $175.0 million in aggregate principal amount 13.5% senior subordinated notes due 2015, including accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $6.4 million and the call premium of approximately $5.3 million.  The remaining proceeds from the Offering were used to pay down $74.8 million of the Term Loan B and $10.0 million of our revolving credit facility.  A portion of the proceeds was placed in a restricted account pending application to finance certain acquisitions, including the acquisitions of a radiation treatment center and physician practices in South Carolina, which were consummated on May 3, 2010.  We incurred approximately $11.9 million in transaction fees and expenses, including legal, accounting and other fees and expenses in connection with the Offering, including the initial purchasers’ discount of $1.9 million.

 

On March 1, 2011, we issued $50 million of  97/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017 pursuant to a Commitment Letter from DDJ Capital Management, LLC. The proceeds of $48.5 million were used (i) to fund the MDLLC Acquisition and (ii) to fund transaction costs associated with the MDLLC Acquisition.  We incurred approximately $1.6 million in transaction fees and expenses, including legal, accounting and other fees and expenses in connection with the new notes, and an initial purchasers’ discount of $0.6 million.

 

Senior Secured Second Lien Notes

 

On May 10, 2012, we issued $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 8 7/8% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2017 (the “Secured Notes”).

 

The Secured Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated May 10, 2012 (the “Secured Notes Indenture”), the Company, the guarantors signatory thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association. The Secured Notes are senior secured second lien obligations of the Company and are guaranteed on a senior secured second lien basis by the Company, and each of our domestic subsidiaries to the extent such guarantor is a guarantor of the Company’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below).

 

The Secured Notes Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability for us, and certain of our subsidiaries to incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness; pay dividends or redeem or repurchase capital stock; make other restricted payments; incur liens; redeem debt that is junior in right of payment to the Secured Notes; sell or otherwise dispose of assets, including capital stock of

subsidiaries; enter into mergers or consolidations; and enter into transactions with affiliates. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. In addition, in certain circumstances, if the Company sells assets or experiences certain changes of control, it must offer to purchase the Secured Notes.

 

We used the proceeds to repay our existing senior secured revolving credit facility and the Term Loan B portion of our senior secured credit facilities, which were prepaid in their entirety, cancelled and replaced with the new Revolving Credit Facility described below, and to pay related fees and expenses. Any remaining net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes.

 

Senior Secured Notes

 

On October 25, 2013, we completed the acquisition of OnCure. The transaction included the issuance of $82.5 million in senior secured notes of OnCure (the “OnCure Notes”), which accrue interest at a rate of 11.75% per annum and mature January 15, 2017, of which $7.5 million is subject to escrow arrangements and will be released to holders upon satisfaction of certain conditions. The OnCure Notes were issued pursuant to an Amended and Restated Indenture (the “OnCure Indenture”) of OnCure, with OnCure, as issuer, the subsidiaries of OnCure named therein, as guarantors, the Company, 21C and the subsidiaries of the Company and 21C named therein, as guarantors  and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent. The OnCure Notes are senior secured obligations of OnCure and certain of its subsidiaries that guarantee the OnCure Notes and senior unsecured obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries that guarantee the OnCure Notes.

 

The OnCure Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of OnCure, certain of its subsidiaries, the Company, 21C and certain of its subsidiaries to: incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness; pay dividends or redeem or repurchase capital stock; make other restricted payments; incur liens; redeem debt that is junior in right of payment to the OnCure Notes; sell or otherwise dispose of assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries; enter into mergers or consolidations; and enter into transactions with affiliates. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. In addition, in certain circumstances, if OnCure or the Company sell assets or experience certain changes of control, they must offer to purchase the OnCure Notes.

 

Senior Secured Credit Facility

 

On May 10, 2012, we also entered into the Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among 21C, as borrower, the Company, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), collateral agent, issuing bank and as swingline lender, the other agents party thereto and the lenders party thereto. On August 28, 2013, we entered into the Amendment Agreement to the credit agreement among the Company, 21C, the institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders, the Administrative Agent named therein and the other agents and arrangers named therein, dated as of May 10, 2012 (the “Original Credit Agreement” and, as amended and restated by the Amendment Agreement, the “Credit Agreement”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment Agreement the amendments to the Original Credit Agreement became effective on August 29, 2013.

 

The Credit Agreement provides for credit facilities consisting of (i) a $90 million term loan facility (the “Term Facility”) and (ii) a revolving credit facility provided for up to $100 million of revolving extensions of credit outstanding at any time (including revolving loans, swingline loans and letters of credit) (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and together with the Term Facility, the “Credit Facilities”).  The Term Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility each have a maturity date of October 15, 2016.

 

Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Facility are subject to the following interest rates:

(b) for loans which are base rate loans, at a rate per annum equal to (i) a floating index rate per annum equal to the greatest of (A) the Administrative Agent’s prime lending rate at such time, (B) the overnight federal funds rate at such time plus ½ of 1%, and (C) the Eurodollar Rate for a Eurodollar loan with a one-month interest period commencing on such day plus 1.00% (provided that solely with respect to loans under the Term Facility, such floating index rate shall not be less than 2.00% per annum), plus (ii) an applicable margin (A) based upon a total leverage pricing grid for loans under the Revolving Credit Facility or (B) equal to 5.50% per annum for loans under the Term Facility.

 

We will pay certain recurring fees with respect to the Credit Facilities, including (i) fees on the unused commitments of the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility, (ii) letter of credit fees on the aggregate face amounts of outstanding letters of credit and (iii) administration fees.

The Borrowers each are required to pay certain recurring administration fees with respect to the MDLLC Credit Agreement.  The MDLLC Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, subject to limitations and exceptions, and customary covenants restricting the ability (subject to various exceptions) of the Borrowers and certain of their subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness or any other obligations.

The SFRO Term Loans are subject to the following interest rates:

 

(a) for Term A Loans, for any interest period, at a rate per annum equal to (i) a floating index rate per annum equal to (A) the rate per annum determined on the basis of the rate for six month dollar deposits appearing on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 A.M., London time, two business days prior to the beginning of such interest period divided by (B) 1.0 minus the then stated maximum rate of all reserve requirements applicable to any member bank of the Federal Reserve System in respect of Eurocurrency funding or liabilities as defined in Regulation D (or any successor category of liabilities under Regulation D) (provided that such floating index rate shall not be less than 1.25% per annum) (the “Eurodollar Rate”), plus (ii) an applicable margin equal to 5.75% per annum (provided that such rate per annum shall be 6.75% if Treasure Coast Medicine, LLC (“Treasure Coast Medicine”) has not become a guarantor of the Term A Loan on or before the first interest payment date on or after February 10, 2014 and until the first occurring interest payment date on which Treasure Coast Medicine is a guarantor of the Term A Loan); and

The obligations under the SFRO Credit Agreement of (i) 21C East Florida are secured on a first priority basis by security interests in substantially all of 21C East Florida’s tangible and intangible assets (subject to certain exceptions) and (ii) Coconut Creek are secured by certain assets of Coconut Creek.

 

On July 22, 2014, 21C East Florida and Coconut Creek, each an indirect subsidiary of the Company, the several lenders and other financial institutions or entities from time to time parties thereto and Cortland entered into a first amendment (the “SFRO Amendment”) to the credit agreement among 21C East Florida, Coconut Creek, Cortland and the several lenders and other financial institutions or entities from time to time parties thereto, dated as of February 10, 2014 (the “Original SFRO Credit Agreement” and, as amended and restated by the SFRO Amendment, the “SFRO Credit Agreement”).

 

The SFRO Amendment provides for an incremental $10.35 million term loan (the “Term A-1 Loan”) in favor of Coconut Creek issued for purposes of (i) refinancing approximately $5.64 million in existing capitalized lease obligations owing to First Financial Corporate Leasing, including a prepayment premium, (ii) repaying the approximately $2.55 million intercompany loan made by 21C to pay the capitalized lease obligations owing to First Financial Corporate Leasing and (iii) pay fees, costs and expenses of the transactions related to the SFRO Amendment.  In addition, the SFRO Amendment provides for the waiver of certain existing events of default under the Original SFRO Credit Agreement.

 

The Term A-1 Loan is subject to interest rates, for any interest period, at a rate per annum equal to a floating index rate per annum equal to LIBOR (provided that such rate shall not be less than 1.25% per annum), plus an applicable margin equal to 9.75% per annum.

 

The obligations of Coconut Creek under the SFRO Amendment are guaranteed (the “SFRO Guarantee”) by SFRO Holdings, LLC, a Florida limited liability company of which Coconut Creek is a wholly owned subsidiary and certain of SFRO Holdings, LLC’s direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries.  The obligations of Coconut Creek under the SFRO Amendment are secured by certain assets of Coconut Creek.

 

We believe we are not currently able to borrow under our credit facilities. Due to our current liquidity position, we expect that our cash flows from operations, together with our currently available liquidity will be insufficient to fund our currently anticipated operating requirements, including interest payments. For this reason, we are currently seeking sources of external financing and have entered into the Recapitalization Support Agreement, which may lead to a restructuring of certain of our debt obligations. No assurances can be given that we will be able to raise external financing or execute a recapitalization on terms favorable to us or at all. Our ability to meet our funding needs could be adversely affected if we experience a decline in our results of operations, or if we violate the covenants and other restrictions to which we are subject under our debt or other agreements.

 

Finance Obligation

 

We lease certain of our treatment centers (each, a “facility” and, collectively, the “facilities”) and other properties from partnerships that are majority-owned by related parties (each, a “related party lessor” and, collectively, the “related party lessors”). See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.” The related party lessors construct the facilities in accordance with our plans and specifications and subsequently lease these facilities to us. Due to the related party relationship, we are considered the owner of these facilities during the construction period pursuant to the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 840-40, “Sale-Leaseback Transactions” (“ASC 840-40”). In accordance with ASC 840-40, we record a construction in progress asset for these facilities with a corresponding finance obligation during the construction period. These related parties guarantee the debt of the related party lessors, which is considered to be “continuing involvement” pursuant to ASC 840-40. Accordingly, these leases did not qualify as a normal sale-leaseback at the time that construction was completed and these facilities were leased to us. As a result, the costs to construct the facilities and the related finance obligation are recorded on our consolidated balance sheets after construction was completed. The construction costs are included in “Real Estate Subject to Finance Obligation” in the consolidated balance sheets and the accompanying notes, included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The finance obligation is amortized over the lease during the construction period term based on the payments designated in the lease agreements.

Billing and Collections

 

Our billing system in the U.S. utilizes a fee schedule for billing patients, third-party payers and government sponsored programs, including Medicare and Medicaid. Fees billed to government sponsored programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, and fees billed to contracted payers and self pay patients (not covered under other third party payer arrangements) are automatically adjusted to the allowable payment amount at time of billing. In 2009, we updated our billing system to include fee schedules on approximately 98% of all payers and developed a blended rate allowable amount on the remaining payers. As a result of this change in 2009, fees billed to all payers are automatically adjusted to the allowable payment at time of billing.

 

Insurance information is requested from all patients either at the time the first appointment is scheduled or at the time of service. A copy of the insurance card is scanned into our system at the time of service so that it is readily available to staff during the collection process. Patient demographic information is collected for both our clinical and billing systems.

 

It is our policy to collect co-payments from the patient at the time of service. Insurance benefit information is obtained and the patient is informed of their deductible and co-payment responsibility prior to the commencement of treatment.

 

Charges are posted to the billing system by coders in our offices or in our central billing office. After charges are posted, edits are performed, any necessary corrections are made and billing forms are generated, then sent electronically to our clearinghouse whenever electronic submission is possible. Any bills not able to be processed through the clearinghouse are printed and mailed from our print mail service. Statements are automatically generated from our billing system and mailed to the patient on a regular basis for any amounts still outstanding from the patient. Daily, weekly and monthly accounts receivable analysis reports are utilized by staff and management to prioritize accounts for collection purposes, as well as to identify trends and issues. Strategies to respond proactively to these issues are developed at weekly and monthly team meetings. Our write-off process requires manual review and our process for collecting accounts receivable is dependent on the type of payer as set forth below.

 

Medicare, Medicaid and Commercial Payer Balances

 

Our central billing office staff expedites the payment process from insurance companies and other payers via electronic inquiries, phone calls and automated letters to ensure timely payment. Our billing system generates standard aging reports by date of billing in increments of 30 day intervals. The collection team utilizes these reports to assess and determine the payers requiring additional focus and collection efforts. Our accounts receivable exposure on Medicare, Medicaid and commercial payer balances are largely limited to denials and other unusual adjustments. Our exposure to bad debt on balances relating to these types of payers over the years has been insignificant.

 

In the event of denial of payment, we follow the payer’s standard appeals process, both to secure payment and to lobby the payers, as appropriate, to modify their medical policies to expand coverage for the newer and more advanced treatment services that we provide which, in many cases, is the payer’s reason for denial of payment. If all reasonable collection efforts with these payers have been exhausted by our central billing office staff, the account receivable is written-off.

 

Self-Pay Balances

 

We administer self-pay account balances through our central billing office and our policy is to first attempt to collect these balances although after initial attempts we often send outstanding self-pay patient claims to collection agencies at designated points in the collection process. In some cases monthly payment arrangements are made with patients for the account balance remaining after insurance payments have been applied. These accounts are reviewed monthly to ensure payments continue to be made in a timely manner. Once it has been determined by our staff that the patient is not responding to our collection attempts, a final notice is mailed. This generally occurs more than 120 days after the date of the original bill. If there is no response to our final notice, after 30 days the account is assigned to a collection agency and, as appropriate, recorded as a bad debt and written off. We also have payment arrangements with patients for the self-pay portion due in which monthly payments are made by the patient on a predetermined schedule. Balances under $50 are written off but not sent to the collection agency. All accounts are specifically identified for write-offs and accounts are written off prior to being submitted to the collection agency.

In September 2013, we signed a value added services agreement with Mercy Medical Center in Redding, CA, part of Dignity Health, to provide oncology services. This agreement adds to our presence in the strategic market of California, where we recently expanded operations through the acquisition of OnCure.

 

In September 2013, we were awarded a hospital contract to provide radiation oncology treatment services at the Naval Hospital in Argentina.

 

On October 25, 2013, we completed the acquisition of OnCure for approximately $125.0 million (excluding capital leases, working capital and other adjustments) .

OnCure operates radiation oncology treatment centers for cancer patients. It contracts with radiation oncology physician groups and their radiation oncologists through long-term management services agreements to offer cancer patients a comprehensive range of radiation oncology treatment options, including most traditional and next generation services. OnCure provides services to a network of 11 physician groups that treat cancer patients at its 33 radiation oncology treatment centers, making it one of the largest strategically located networks of radiation oncology service providers.

During the second quarter of 2014, we closed six radiation treatment facilities, three located in Broward and Palm Beach Counties, two located in Sarasota/Manatee Counties, and one in Southern California, all as a result of the purchase of the OnCure and SFRO transactions.

 

As of June 30, 2014, we have four additional de novo radiation treatment centers in development located in Bolivia, Dominican Republic, North Carolina and South Carolina. The internal development of radiation treatment centers is subject to a number of risks including but not limited to risks related to negotiating and finalizing agreements, construction delays, unexpected costs, obtaining required regulatory permits, licenses and approvals and the availability of qualified healthcare and administrative professionals and personnel. As such, we cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully develop radiation treatment centers in accordance with our current plans and any failure or material delay in successfully completing planned internally developed treatment centers could harm our business and impair our future growth.

 

We have been selected by a consortium of leading New York academic medical centers (including Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Beth Israel Medical Center/Continuum Health System, NYU Langone Medical Center, Mt. Sinai Medical Center, and Montefiore Medical Center) to serve as the developer and manager of a proton beam therapy center to be constructed in Manhattan. The project is in the final stages of certificate of need approval. In June 2014 we provided notice to the consortium that we may not be able to provide the full commitment of approximately $10.0 million to this project.  As result, we may be required to transfer and sell our 33.6% ownership interest to the consortium or to a third party and transfer the general manager role and the management services fee of 5% of collected revenues to the consortium. We have accounted for our interest in the center as an equity method investment. The center is expected to commence operations in late-2016.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We continuously evaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

We believe the following critical accounting policies are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require our management’s subjective or complex judgment because of the sensitivity of the methods, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

 

Variable Interest Entities

 

We evaluate certain of our radiation oncology practices in order to determine if they are variable interest entities (“VIE”). This evaluation resulted in determining that certain of our radiation oncology practices were potential variable interests. For each of these practices, we have determined (1) the sufficiency of the fair value of the entities’ equity investments at risk to absorb losses, (2) that, as a group, the holders of the equity investments at risk have (a) the direct or indirect ability through voting rights to make decisions about the entities’ significant activities, (b) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity and their obligations are not protected directly or indirectly, and (c) the right to receive the expected residual return of the entity, and (3) substantially all of the entities’ activities do not involve or are not conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately fewer voting rights in terms of its obligation to absorb the expected losses or its right to receive expected residual returns of the entity, or both. ASC 810, “Consolidation” (“ASC 810”), requires a company to consolidate VIEs if the company is the primary beneficiary of the activities of those entities. Certain of our radiation oncology practices are variable interest entities and we have a variable interest in certain of these practices through our administrative services agreements. Pursuant to ASC 810, through our variable interests in these practices, we have the power to direct the activities of these practices that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and we would absorb a majority of the expected losses of these practices should they occur. Based on these determinations, we have included these radiation oncology practices in our consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

We adopted updated accounting guidance beginning with the first quarter of 2010, by providing an ongoing qualitative rather than quantitative assessment of our ability to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and our rights or obligations to receive benefits or absorb losses, in order to determine whether those entities will be required to be consolidated in our consolidated financial statements. The adoption of the new guidance had no material impact to our financial position and results of operations.

 

Net Patient Service Revenue and Allowances for Contractual Discounts

 

We have agreements with third-party payers that provide us payments at amounts different from our established rates. Net patient service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amounts due from patients, third-party payers and others for services rendered. Net patient service revenue is recognized as services are provided. Medicare and other governmental programs reimburse physicians based on fee schedules, which are determined by the related government agency. We also have agreements with managed care organizations to provide physician services based on negotiated fee schedules. Accordingly, the revenues reported in our consolidated financial statements are recorded at the amount that is expected to be received.

 

We derive a significant portion of our revenues from Medicare, Medicaid and other payers that receive discounts from our standard charges. We must estimate the total amount of these discounts to prepare our consolidated financial statements. The Medicare and Medicaid regulations and various managed care contracts under which these discounts must be calculated are complex and subject to interpretation and adjustment. We estimate the allowance for contractual discounts on a payer class basis given our interpretation of the applicable regulations or contract terms. These interpretations sometimes result in payments that differ from our estimates. Additionally, updated regulations and contract renegotiations occur frequently necessitating regular review and assessment of the estimation process. Changes in estimates related to the allowance for contractual discounts affect revenues reported in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.  If our overall estimated allowance for contractual discounts on our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013 were changed by 1%, our after-tax loss from continuing operations would change by approximately $0.1 million. This is only one example of reasonably possible sensitivity scenarios. A significant increase in our estimate of contractual discounts for all payers would lower our earnings. This would adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and future access to capital.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, approximately 43% and 46%, respectively, of our U.S. domestic net patient service revenue related to services rendered under the Medicare and Medicaid programs. In the ordinary course of business, we are potentially subject to a review by regulatory agencies concerning the accuracy of billings and sufficiency of supporting documentation of procedures performed. Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are extremely complex and subject to interpretation. As a result, there is at least a reasonable possibility that estimates will change by a material amount in the near term.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowances for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable are reported net of estimated allowances for doubtful accounts and contractual adjustments. Accounts receivable are uncollateralized and primarily consist of amounts due from third-party payers and patients. To provide for accounts receivable that could become uncollectible in the future, we establish an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce the carrying amount of such receivables to their estimated net realizable value. The credit risk for other concentrations (other than Medicare) of receivables is limited due to the large number of insurance companies and other payers that provide payments for our services. We do not believe that there are any other significant concentrations of receivables from any particular payer that would subject us to any significant credit risk in the collection of our accounts receivable.

 

The amount of the provision for doubtful accounts is based upon our assessment of historical and expected net collections, business and economic conditions, trends in Federal and state governmental healthcare coverage and other collection indicators. The primary tool used in our assessment is an annual, detailed review of historical collections and write-offs of accounts receivable as they relate to aged accounts receivable balances. The results of our detailed review of historical collections and write-offs, adjusted for changes in trends and conditions, are used to evaluate the allowance amount for the current period.  If the actual bad debt allowance percentage applied to the applicable aging categories would change by 1% from our estimated bad debt allowance percentage for the year ended December 31, 2013, our after-tax loss from continuing operations would change by approximately $0.7 million and our net accounts receivable would change by approximately $1.1 million at December 31, 2013. The resulting change in this analytical tool is considered to be a reasonably likely change that would affect our overall assessment of this critical accounting estimate.  Accounts receivable are written-off after collection efforts have been followed in accordance with our policies.

 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired by us in business combinations. Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are not amortized but are reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. As we began to experience some liquidity issues after terminating our previously planned initial public offering, we began to have discussions with an ad hoc group of holders of our outstanding notes. As we began to experience some liquidity issues after terminating our previously planned initial public offering, we began to have discussions with an ad hoc group of holders of our outstanding notes.  On July 29, 2014, we entered into a Recapitalization Support Agreement with Vestar and the holders or managers of 72% of the aggregate principal amount of the indebtedness we incurred under that certain Indenture, dated as of April 20, 2010, among us, the guarantors party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Consenting Subordinated Noteholders”).

 

The Recapitalization Support Agreement sets forth the terms through which we expect to either (a) obtain additional liquidity through an equity contribution or subordinated debt incurred in a minimum amount of $150 million on or before October 1, 2014 (the “Capital Contribution”) or (b) consummate a Recapitalization consistent with the material terms and conditions described in the Recapitalization Term Sheet attached to the Recapitalization Support Agreement.  Pursuant to the Recapitalization Support Agreement, if we and Vestar fail to obtain a signed letter of intent for a Capital Contribution reasonably acceptable to the Required Consenting Subordinated Noteholders (as defined in the Recapitalization Support Agreement) on or before August 31, 2014, we must refrain from pursuing the Capital Contribution and must pursue the Recapitalization.  Absent obtaining the Capital Contribution and upon the effectiveness of the Recapitalization, the Subordinated Noteholder Claims (as defined in the Recapitalization Support Agreement) would be exchanged for 95% of the new equity interests in the reorganized

Company, subject to dilution pursuant to a management incentive plan and new warrants as set forth in the Recapitalization Term Sheet, with existing equity holders receiving 5% of the new equity interests.

 

We performed an interim impairment test for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. We completed the first step of the impairment test as of June 30, 2014 and determined that the carrying amount of one of the reporting units exceeds its estimated implied fair value, thereby requiring performance of the second step of the impairment test to calculate the amount of the impairment. We, with the assistance of an independent valuation firm, have begun the second step of the impairment test and expect the resulting valuation report to be completed on or before September 30, 2014. However, because an impairment loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, we have, in accordance with ASC 350, recorded a preliminary estimated non-cash impairment charge of approximately $182.0 million in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the quarter ended June 30, 2014. During the third quarter of 2012 we recognized goodwill impairment of approximately $69.9 million as a result of the final rule issued on the Physician Fee Schedule for 2013 by CMS on November 1, 2012, which included certain rate reductions on Medicare payments to freestanding radiation oncology providers as well as the changes in treatment patterns and volumes in prostate cancer as a result of the slowing rate of men diagnosed and referred to treatment regimens, as a result of the Preventative Services Task Force report issued in May 2012 recommending against routine PSA screenings for healthy men, as well as suggested changes in treatment pattern for low risk prostate cancer away from definitive treatment. During the fourth quarter of 2012 we incurred an impairment loss of approximately $11.1 million. Approximately $10.8 million relating to goodwill impairment in certain of our reporting units and approximately $0.1 million related to the impairment of certain leasehold improvements in the Delmarva Peninsula local market and approximately $0.2 million related to a consolidated joint venture in the Central Maryland local market. There was no goodwill impairment recorded for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit (including the unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the estimated fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price paid. Based on (i) assessment of current and expected future economic conditions, (ii) trends, strategies and forecasted cash flows at each reporting unit and (iii) assumptions similar to those that market participants would make in valuing the reporting units.

 

The estimated fair value measurements were developed using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). For goodwill, the primary valuation technique used was an income methodology based on estimates of forecasted cash flows for each reporting unit, with those cash flows discounted to present value using rates commensurate with the risks of those cash flows. In addition, a market- based valuation method involving analysis of market multiples of revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for (i) a group of comparable public companies and (ii) recent transactions, if any, involving comparable companies. Assumptions used are similar to those that would be used by market participants performing valuations of regional divisions. Assumptions were based on analysis of current and expected future economic conditions and the strategic plan for each reporting unit.

 

Intangible assets consist of trade names, non-compete agreements, licenses and hospital contractual relationships. Trade names have an indefinite life and are tested annually for impairment. Non-compete agreements, licenses and hospital contractual relationships are amortized over the life of the agreement (which typically ranges from 2 to 20 years) using the straight-line method. No intangible asset impairment loss was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with ASC 360, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, we review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be fully recoverable. Assessment of possible impairment of a particular asset is based on our ability to recover the carrying value of such asset based on our estimate of its undiscounted future cash flows. If these estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset, an impairment charge would be recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

All share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss over the requisite service period.

 

For purposes of determining the compensation expense associated with the 2012 and 2013 equity-based incentive plan grants, we engaged a third party valuation company to value the business enterprise using a variety of widely accepted valuation techniques, which considered a number of factors such as the financial performance of the Company, the values of comparable companies and the lack of marketability of the Company’s equity. The third party valuation company then used the probability-weighted expected return method (“PWERM”) to determine the fair value of these units at the time of grant. Under the PWERM, the value of the units is estimated based upon an analysis of future values for the enterprise assuming various future outcomes (exits) as well as the rights of each unit class. In developing assumptions for the various exit scenarios, management considered the Company’s ability to achieve certain growth and profitability milestone in order to maximize shareholder value at the time of potential exit. Management considers an initial public offering of the Company’s stock to be one of the exit scenarios for the current shareholders, as well as a sale or merger/acquisition transaction. For the scenarios the enterprise value at exit was estimated based on a multiple of the Company’s EBITDA for the fiscal year preceding the exit date. The enterprise value for the scenario where the Company stays private (and under the majority ownership of Vestar Capital Partners, Inc., our equity sponsor) was estimated based on a discounted cash flow analysis as well as guideline company market approach. The guideline companies were publicly-traded companies that were deemed comparable to the Company. The discount rate analysis also leveraged market data of the same guideline companies. For each PWERM scenario, management estimated probability factors based on the outlook of the Company and the industry as well as prospects and timing for a potential exit based on information known or knowable as of the grant date. The probability-weighted unit values calculated at each potential exit date was present-valued to the grant date to estimate the per-unit value. The discount rate utilized in the present value calculation was the cost of equity calculated using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (“CAPM”) and based on the market data of the guideline companies as well as historical data published by Morningstar, Inc. For each PWERM scenario, the per unit values were adjusted for lack of marketability discount to determine unit value on a minority, non-marketable basis.

For 2012 and 2013, the estimated fair value of the units, less an assumed forfeiture rate of 3.9%, is recognized in expense in the Company’s consolidated financial statements on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards for Class MEP Units. For Class MEP Units, the requisite service period is approximately 18 months, and for Class EMEP Units, the requisite service period is 36 months only if probable of being met. The Class M Units and O Units compensation will be recognized upon the sale of the Company or an initial public offering. Under the terms of the incentive unit grant agreements governing the grants of the Class M Units and Class O Units, in the event of an initial public offering of the Company’s common stock, holders have certain rights to receive shares of restricted common stock of the Company in exchange for their Class M Units and Class O Units. The assumed forfeiture rate is based on an average historical forfeiture rate. All outstanding Class EMEP Units and Class L units were canceled without payment to the holder thereof in connect with 21CI’s entry into the Fourth Amended LLC Agreement.

 

Grants under 2013 Plan

 

On December 9, 2013, 21CI entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “Fourth Amended LLC Agreement”) which replaced the Third Amended LLC Agreement in its entirety. The Fourth Amended LLC Agreement established new classes of incentive equity units (such new units, together with Class MEP Units, as modified under the Fourth Amended LLC Agreement, the “2013 Plan”) in 21CI in the form of Class M Units, Class N Units and Class O Units for issuance to employees, officers, directors and other service providers, eliminated 21CI’s Class L Units and Class EMEP Units, and modified the distribution entitlements for holders of each existing class of equity units of 21CI.

 

Income Taxes

 

We make estimates in recording our provision for income taxes, including determination of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities and any valuation allowances that might be required against the deferred tax assets. ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. For the year ended December 31, 2012 and six months ended June 30, 2013, we determined that the valuation allowance was approximately $82.3 million, consisting of $70.3 million against federal deferred tax assets and $12.0 million against state deferred tax assets. This represented an increase of $36.8 million. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we determined that the valuation allowance should be $97.4 million, consisting of $87.5 million against federal deferred tax assets and $9.9 million against state deferred tax assets. This represents an increase of $15.1 million in valuation allowance. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we determined that the valuation allowance should be $96.8 million consisting of $86.9 against federal deferred assets and $9.9 against state deferred tax assets.  This represents a decrease of $0.6 million.

 

ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, the impact of an uncertain tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, ASC 740 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

 

We are subject to taxation in the United States, approximately 25 state jurisdictions, the Netherlands, and throughout Latin America, namely, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala and Mexico. However, the principal jurisdictions for which we are subject to tax are the United States, Florida and Argentina.

 

Our future effective tax rates could be affected by changes in the relative mix of taxable income and taxable loss jurisdictions, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets or liabilities, or changes in tax laws, interpretations thereof. We monitor the assumptions used in estimating the annual effective tax rate and makes adjustments, if required, throughout the year. If actual results differ from the assumptions used in estimating our annual effective tax rates, future income tax expense (benefit) could be materially affected.

 

In addition, we are routinely under audit by federal, state, or local authorities in the areas of income taxes and other taxes. These audits include questioning the timing and amount of deductions and compliance with federal, state, and local tax laws. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes from these audits to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. To the extent we prevail in matters for which accruals have been established or is required to pay amounts in excess of such accruals, the effective tax rate could be materially affected.

 

During the second quarter of 2014, we reached a favorable settlement with the US Internal Revenue Service related to the interest and penalties assessed during the 2007 and 2008 tax audit.  As a result, we released $1.3 million of the $2.2 million previously recorded reserves.   During the third quarter of 2013, we closed the federal income tax audit related to calendar year 2009 with no material adjustments. We closed the New York State audit for tax years 2006 through 2008 with a favorable result during the first quarter of 2013.

 

New Pronouncements

 

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740):Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (ASU 2013-11), which amends ASC 740 to clarify balance sheet presentation requirements of unrecognized tax benefits. ASU 2013-11 was effective for us on January 1, 2014. We adopted ASC 740 and reclassified approximately $1.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits from income taxes payable to other long term liabilities.

 

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. ASU 2014-08 changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations in FASB Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 205-20, such that a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. ASU 2014-08 requires an entity to present, for each comparative period, the assets and liabilities of a disposal group that includes a discontinued operation separately in the asset and liability sections, respectively, of the statement of financial position, as well as additional disclosures about discontinued operations. Additionally, ASU

Table of Contents

 

2014-08 requires disclosures about a disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations presentation in the financial statements and expands the disclosures about an entity’s significant continuing involvement with a discontinued operation. The accounting update is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted but only for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. The core principle of the guidance in ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance, which will be effective beginning January 1, 2017.

 

Reimbursement, Legislative And Regulatory Changes

 

Legislative and regulatory action has resulted in continuing changes in reimbursement under the Medicare and Medicaid programs that will continue to limit payments we receive under these programs.

 

Within the statutory framework of the Medicare and Medicaid programs, there are substantial areas subject to legislative and regulatory changes, administrative rulings, interpretations, and discretion which may further affect payments made under those programs, and the federal and state governments may, in the future, reduce the funds available under those programs or require more stringent utilization and quality reviews of our treatment centers or require other changes in our operations. Additionally, there may be a continued rise in managed care programs and future restructuring of the financing and delivery of healthcare in the United States. These events could have an adverse effect on our future financial results.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in these relationships.

 

Item 3.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Interest Rate Sensitivity

 

We are exposed to various market risks as a part of our operations, and we anticipate that this exposure will increase as a result of our planned growth. In an effort to mitigate losses associated with these risks, we may at times enter into derivative financial instruments. These derivative financial instruments may take the form of forward sales contracts, option contracts, and interest rate swaps. We have not and do not intend to engage in the practice of trading derivative securities for profit. Because our borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities will bear interest at variable rates, we are sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates.

 

Interest Rates

 

Outstanding balances under our senior secured credit facility bear interest based on either LIBOR plus an initial spread, or an alternate base rate plus an initial spread, at our option. Accordingly, an adverse change in interest rates would cause an increase in the amount of interest paid. As of June 30, 2014, we have interest rate exposure on $169.5 million of our senior secured credit facility. A 100 basis point change in interest rates on our senior secured credit facility would result in an increase of $1.7 million in the amount of annualized interest paid and annualized interest expense recognized in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. On August 25, 2014, Bryan J. Carey resigned as the President, Chief Financial Officer and Vice Chairman of the Company and from the offices and directorships he held with the Company’s subsidiaries.  We have appointed David Beckman as Interim Chief Financial Officer, to serve in that role until a permanent Chief Financial Officer is appointed.  During this time, Joseph Biscardi, the Company’s Senior Vice President, Assistant Treasurer, Controller and Chief Accounting Officer, will serve as the Company’s principal financial officer.  Mr. Beckman will be assisted in his role by individuals with significant tenure at 21C, including Richard Lewis, Chief Financial Officer-US Operations (8 years), Mr. Biscardi (17 years), and Frank G. English IV, Vice President-International Finance and Treasurer (3 years). There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures.

 

As of June 30, 2014, we completed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on our evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report due to the material weaknesses that we identified in March 2014 related to management’s identification of and accounting for a loss contingency and related disclosure as of December 31, 2013.

 

We are in the process of developing and implementing new processes and procedures to remediate the material weaknesses that existed in our internal control over financial reporting with respect to the identification of and accounting for a loss contingency and related disclosure as of December 31, 2013, as well as the continued improvement of our overall system of internal controls over financial reporting with respect to the accounting for loss contingencies, including the establishment of a disclosure committee and the assessment of future probable loss contingency accounting and methods.

 

The Company has developed a specific action plan to enhance the reliability and effectiveness of our control procedures. We believe that these actions and the resulting improvements in controls address the material weaknesses related to management’s identification of and accounting for a loss contingency and related disclosure as of December 31, 2013. As part of our 2014 assessment of internal control over financial reporting, we will test and evaluate these additional controls to assess whether they are operating effectively.

PART II

 

OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.     Legal Proceedings.

 

We are involved in certain legal actions and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business.  We do not believe that an adverse decision in any of these matters would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

On February 18, 2014, we were served with subpoenas from the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health & Human Services acting with the assistance of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida who together have requested the production of medical records of patients treated by certain of our physicians for the period from January 2007 to present regarding the ordering, billing and medical necessity of certain laboratory services as part of a civil False Claims Act investigation, as well as our agreements with such physicians. The laboratory services under review relate to the utilization of fluorescence in situ hybridization (“FISH”) laboratory tests ordered by certain of our employed physicians and performed by us.  We have recorded a liability of approximately $5.0 million that is included in accrued expenses in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2014.  The recorded estimate is based on a probability weighted analysis of the low-end of the range of the liability that considers the facts currently known by us, our review of qualitative and quantitative factors, and our assessment of potential outcomes under different scenarios used to assess our exposure which may be used to determine a potential settlement should we decide not to litigate.  Our recording of a liability related to this matter is not an admission of guilt. Depending on how this matter progresses, our exposure may be less than or more than the liability recorded and we will continue to reassess and adjust the liability until this matter is settled.  Our estimate of the high-end of the range of exposure is $10.0 million.

 

Based on reviews performed to date, we do not believe that we or our physicians knowingly submitted false claims in violation of applicable Medicare statutory or regulatory requirements. We are cooperating fully with the subpoena requests. We believe we have a meritorious position and will vigorously defend any claim that may be asserted against us.

You should carefully consider the “Risk Factors” section of the Form 10-K in evaluating us and our business before making an investment decision.  We have also added two new risk factors which are the fourth and fifth risk factors set below regarding our planned recapitalization. The other specific risk factors set forth below were included in our Form 10-K risk factors and have been updated to provide information as of June 30, 2014.  There have been no other material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Form 10-K in response to Item 1A. to Part I of the Form 10-K.  If any of the risks identified herein or in the Form 10-K, or any other risks and uncertainties that we have not yet identified or that we currently believe are not material, actually occur and are material it could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We depend on payments from government Medicare and, to a lesser extent, Medicaid programs for a significant amount of our revenue. Our business could be materially harmed by any changes that result in reimbursement reductions.

 

Our payer mix is concentrated with Medicare patients due to the high proportion of cancer patients over the age of 65. We estimate that approximately 47.7%, 45.3%, 44.6% and 43.1% of our U.S. net patient service revenue for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 and for the six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, consisted of payments from Medicare and Medicaid. Only a small percentage of that revenue resulted from Medicaid patients, equaling approximately 2.8%, 2.7%, and 2.7% for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. In addition, Medicare Advantage represents approximately 13% of our 2013 U.S. net patient service revenue. These government programs generally reimburse us on a fee-for-service basis based on predetermined government reimbursement rate schedules. As a result of these reimbursement schedules, we are limited in the amount we can record as revenue for our services from these government programs. Following a public comment period, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) can change these schedules annually and therefore the prices that the agency pays for these services. In addition, if our operating costs increase, we will not be able to recover these costs from government payers. As a result, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by changes in reimbursement for Medicare reimbursement. Various state Medicaid programs also have recently reduced Medicaid payments to providers based on state budget reductions. Although Medicaid reimbursement encompasses only a small portion of our business, there can be no certainty as to whether Medicaid reimbursement will increase or decrease in the future and what affect, if any, this will have on our business.

 

In the final Medicare 2013 Physician Fee Schedule, CMS reduced payments for radiation oncology by 7%. This reduction related to (1) the fourth year of the four-year transition to the utilization of new Physician Practice Information Survey (“PPIS”) data, (2) a change in equipment interest rate assumptions, (3) budget neutrality effects of a proposal to create a new discharge care management code, (4) input changes for certain radiation therapy procedures, and (5) certain other revised radiation oncology codes. The largest of these changes (accounting for 4% of the gross reduction) reflected the transition of the final 25% of PPIS data used in the Practice Expense Relative Value Unit (“PERVU”) methodology. The change in the CMS interest rate policy (accounting for 3% of the gross reduction) reduced interest rate assumptions in the CMS database from 11% to a sliding scale of 5.5% to 8%. CMS also finalized its proposal to create a HCPCS G-code to describe transition care management from a hospital or other institutional stay to a primary physician in the community (accounting for 1% of the gross reduction). While this policy benefited primary care, non-primary care physicians are negatively impacted due to the budget-neutrality of the Medicare 2013 Physician Fee Schedule. The rule also made adjustments (accounting for 1% of the gross reduction) due to the use of new time of care assumptions for IMRT and stereotactic body radiation therapy (“SBRT”). Although the proposed reductions in time of care assumptions alone would have resulted in a gross 7% reduction to radiation oncology, CMS in its final rule included updated cost data submitted by the radiation oncology community for code inputs which reversed the vast majority of the reduction resulting from the new time of care assumptions. Total gross reductions in the final rule were offset by a 2% increase due to certain other revised radiation oncology codes, which resulted in a total net reduction to radiation oncology of 7%.

 

In the proposed Medicare 2014 Physician Fee Schedule, CMS proposed to reduce payments for radiation oncology by 5% overall. This reduction related to a cap on certain radiation oncology services at the hospital outpatient department and ambulatory surgical center’s (“OPD/ASC”) rate [-4%]; reductions to certain radiation oncology codes due to Medicare Economic Index (“MEI”) revisions [-2%]; and offsetting minor increases due to other aspects of the fee schedule [+1%]. Because the cap and MEI policies only applied to freestanding settings, the cut to freestanding centers would likely have been closer to 8%, while hospital-based radiation oncologists would have received an

increase in payment under the proposal. In the final Medicare 2014 Physician Fee Schedule, CMS did not finalize its proposal to cap certain radiation oncology services at the OPD/ASC rate. Although CMS did finalize its proposal to revise the MEI [-2% impact], CMS also incorporated updated relative value units (“RVUs”) for new and existing codes [+3% impact] resulting in a net impact of +1% for radiation oncology overall. Because the MEI policy only applies to freestanding settings, the impact to freestanding centers is approximately flat, while hospital-based radiation oncologists would receive an increase in payment under the final rule.

 

In the proposed Medicare 2015 Physician Fee Schedule, CMS proposed to reduce payments for radiation oncology by 4% overall.  This reduction relates primarily to a proposal to remove the radiation treatment vault as a direct cost input for radiation treatment delivery codes.  Because the proposal only applies to freestanding settings, the cut to freestanding centers would likely be closer to 5%, while hospital based radiation oncologists would receive an increase in payment under the proposal.

 

Medicare reimbursement rates for all procedures under Medicare ultimately are determined by a formula which takes into account a conversion factor (“CF”) which is updated on an annual basis based on the SGR.  For the last several years, the SGR policy has threatened significant cuts to the CF, although Congress has consistently delayed those cuts.  On December 26, 2013, the President signed into law the Pathway for SGR Reform Act of 2013, which prevented the scheduled SGR payment reduction for physicians from taking effect on January 1, 2014.  Instead, the Pathway for SGR Reform Act provided for a 0.5 percent update (to $35.8228) for such services through March 31, 2014.  On April 1, 2014, the President signed H.R. 4302, the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 which extended the $35.8228 conversion factor through 2014 and also provided for a zero percent update through March 31, 2015.  If future SGR reductions are not suspended, and if a permanent “doc fix” is not signed into law, the currently scheduled SGR reimbursement decrease (estimated at more than 20%) will take effect on April 1, 2015. Due to budget neutrality requirements from certain policies in the proposed Medicare 2015 Physician Fee Schedule, the 2015 conversion factor would be slightly adjusted to $35.7977, assuming no SGR cuts and if the rule is finalized as proposed.

 

In addition, under the Budget Control Act of 2011, Medicare providers are cut under a sequestration process by 2% each year relative to baseline spending through 2021 This policy was subsequently extended through 2024.  In the Protecting Access to Medicare Act, the sequestration policy was frontloaded for the year 2024 such that Medicare providers would be cut 4% in the first half of 2024 and 0% in the second half of 2024.

 

Reforms to the U.S. healthcare system may adversely affect our business.

 

On March 21, 2010, the House of Representatives passed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and the corresponding reconciliation bill. President Obama signed the larger comprehensive bill into law on March 23, 2010 and the reconciliation bill on March 30, 2010 (collectively, the “Health Care Reform Act”). The comprehensive $940 billion dollar overhaul could extend coverage to approximately 32 million previously uninsured Americans.

 

A significant portion of our U.S. patient volume is derived from government programs, principally Medicare, which are highly regulated and subject to frequent and substantial changes. We anticipate the Health Care Reform Act will continue to significantly affect how the healthcare industry operates in relation to Medicare, Medicaid and the insurance industry. The Health Care Reform Act contains a number of provisions, including those governing fraud and abuse, enrollment in federal healthcare programs, and reimbursement changes, which impact existing government healthcare programs and will continue to result in the development of new programs, including Medicare payment for performance initiatives and improvements to the physician quality reporting system and feedback program.

 

On June 28, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Health Care Reform Act’s “individual mandate” that will require individuals as of 2014 to either purchase health insurance or pay a penalty. The Supreme Court also held, however, that the federal government cannot force states to expand their Medicaid programs by threatening to cut their existing Medicaid funds. As a result of this decision, states are left with a choice about whether to expand their Medicaid programs to cover low-income, non-disabled adults without children. Numerous states opted not to expand their Medicaid program in 2014, which may materially impact our Medicaid revenue in these states.

 

The Health Care Reform Act provides for the creation of health insurance “Marketplaces” in each state where individuals can compare and enroll in Qualified Health Plans (“QHPs”).   Some QHPs will be partially subsidized by Federal funds. Individuals with an income less than 400% of the federal poverty level that purchase insurance on a Marketplace may be eligible for federal subsidies to cover a portion of their health insurance premium costs. In addition, they may be eligible for government cost sharing of co-insurance or co-pay obligations. The presence of Federal funds in QHPs in the form of subsidies and cost sharing may subject providers to heightened government attention and enforcement, which could significantly increase the cost of compliance and could materially impact our operations.

 

Furthermore, an open question remains whether the availability of these federal subsidies classifies a QHP as a federal healthcare program. In an October 30, 2013 letter, Kathleen Sebelius, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“DHHS”), indicated that DHHS does not consider QHPs to be federal healthcare programs. However, this statement by Secretary Sebelius has not been tested in court, and a judge may not agree. Additionally, a subsequent Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) FAQ on November 4, 2013, as well as a November 7, 2013 letter from U.S. Senator Charles Grassley to Secretary Sebelius and Attorney General Eric Holder, indicates that this issue is not settled. If QHPs are classified as federal healthcare programs it could further increase the cost of compliance significantly for providers. The Health Care Reform Act has experienced several setbacks that heighten the uncertainty about its implementation. On October 1, 2013, the DHHS launched the federally-run insurance Marketplaces through its www.healthcare.gov website. The website has experienced multiple problems throughout its launch, which has limited the ability of individuals to sign up for healthcare coverage and has exposed security concerns. In addition, during the fall of 2013, millions of people with individual health insurance plans received cancellation letters from their insurance providers. These letters frequently expressed that plans were being cancelled because they failed to meet the new requirements of the Health Care Reform Act. In response, the White House announced that it would grant state insurance commissioners federal permission to allow consumers to keep existing health insurance policies through 2014. Several state insurance commissions have nonetheless continued to maintain that insurers cannot offer plans in 2014 unless they meet the requirements of the Health Care Reform Act. These implementation setbacks have called into question early predictions about the number of previously un-insured individuals who will obtain coverage through a Marketplace plan. In addition, certain members of Congress continue to introduce legislation that would repeal or significantly amend the Health Care Reform Act. Because of the continued uncertainty about the implementation of the Health Care Reform Act, we cannot predict the impact of the law or any future reforms on our business.

We can give no assurance that the Health Care Reform Act will not adversely affect our business and financial results, and we cannot predict how future federal or state legislative or administrative changes relating to healthcare reform would affect our business.

 

Our substantial debt could adversely affect our financial condition.

 

We have $1.1 billion of total debt outstanding as of June 30, 2014. Our high level of debt could have adverse effects on our business and financial condition. Specifically, our high level of debt could have important consequences, including the following:

 

·                  making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our debt;

 

·                  limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general corporate requirements;

 

·                  requiring a substantial portion of our cash flows to be dedicated to debt service payments instead of other purposes;

 

·                  increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

 

·                  limiting our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in the industry in which we compete;

 

·                  placing us at a disadvantage compared to other, less leveraged competitors; and

 

·                  increasing our cost of borrowing.

 

Our ability to make scheduled payments on and to refinance our indebtedness depends on and is subject to our financial and operating performance, which in turn is affected by general and regional economic, financial, competitive, business and other factors beyond our control, including the availability of financing in the international banking and capital markets. We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our debt, to refinance our debt or to fund our other liquidity needs. If we are unable to meet our debt obligations or to fund our other liquidity needs, we will need to restructure or refinance all or a portion of our debt, which could cause us to default on our debt obligations and impair our liquidity. Any refinancing of our indebtedness could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants which could further restrict our business operations.

 

In the event that we are unable to complete our planned recapitalization or timely secure alternative debt or equity financing, there is material doubt that we can generate sufficient cash to support our ongoing operations and continue as a going concern.

 

We have experienced and continue to experience losses from operations. We reported a net loss of approximately $78.2 million, $151.1 million, and $349.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively, and $233.8 million and $38.9 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Working capital was $9.1 million at December 31, 2013 and declined to a working capital deficit of $(20.2) million at June 30, 2014. As a result of our high level of debt and significant working capital deficit at June 30, 2014, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on obtaining additional capital, restructuring our indebtedness, and, ultimately, achieving profitable operations.

 

As we began to experience some liquidity issues after terminating our previously planned initial public offering, we began to have discussions with an ad hoc group of holders of our outstanding notes. On July 29, 2014, we, and each of our direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into the Recapitalization Support Agreement with Vestar and the holders or managers of 72% of the aggregate principal amount of the indebtedness we incurred under the Subordinated Notes Indenture.  The Recapitalization Support Agreement sets forth the terms through which the we expect to either (a) obtain additional liquidity through an equity contribution or subordinated debt incurred in a minimum amount of $150 million on or before October 1, 2014 or (b) consummate a recapitalization consistent with the material terms and conditions described in the Recapitalization Term Sheet attached to the Recapitalization Support Agreement.

 

In the event we are unable to complete our planned recapitalization as outlined in the Recapitalization Support Agreement, we will need to identify alternative options to address our current and prospective credit situation, such as alternative debt or equity financing, a sale of the Company or other strategic transaction, or a transformative transaction, such as a possible restructuring or reorganization of the Company’s operations which could include filing for bankruptcy protection, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.  In the event that we are unable to complete our planned recapitalization or timely obtain other debt or equity financing, there is material doubt that we can generate sufficient cash to support our ongoing operations and continue as a going concern.  In addition, the perception that we may not be able to continue as a going concern may cause others to choose not to deal with us due to concerns about our ability to meet our contractual obligations and may adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital.

 

In the event that we consummate a recapitalization consistent with the terms and conditions described in the Recapitalization Term Sheet or an alternative equity financing transaction, the holders of our Senior Subordinated Notes or new equity investors would likely hold a substantial majority or significant percentage of our voting equity securities and may be able to significantly influence or control our decisions.

 

In accordance with the terms of the Recapitalization Support Agreement, if we do not obtain additional liquidity through an equity contribution or subordinated debt incurred in a minimum amount of $150 million on or before October 1, 2014, we expect to undertake a recapitalization consistent with the material terms and conditions described in the Recapitalization Term Sheet. In the event that we consummate such a recapitalization, it is expected that the holders of our Senior Subordinated Notes that participate in the contemplated exchange offer would receive a substantial majority of our outstanding common stock.  Additionally, in the event of an equity investment by a third party or parties of not less than $150 million such new equity holder(s) would likely own a significant percentage of our outstanding voting equity.  In either event, certain holders may hold significant percentages of our common stock, including potentially one holder owning a majority if there is a single investor, and thereby be able to significantly influence or effectively control our decisions, including, without limitation, decisions relating to the

election of directors to our board of directors, mergers and other business combination transactions, material acquisitions and dispositions, the incurrence of indebtedness and the issuance of equity securities, and other corporate matters.  The interests of these holders may not be aligned with your interests.

 

We may encounter numerous business risks in identifying, acquiring and developing additional treatment centers, and may have difficulty operating and integrating those treatment centers.

 

Over the past three years ended December 31, 2013, we have acquired 69 treatment centers, acquired 3 professional/other centers, developed 5 treatment centers, developed 1 professional/other center and transitioned 2 professional/other centers to freestanding treatment centers, all of which includes our acquisition of OnCure which we completed on October 25, 2013. As part of our growth strategy, we expect to continue to add additional treatment centers in our existing and new local and international markets. When we acquire or develop additional treatment centers, we may:

 

·                  be unable to make acquisitions on terms favorable to us or at all;

 

·                  have difficulty identifying desirable targets or locations for treatment centers in suitable markets;

 

·                  be unable to obtain adequate financing to fund our growth strategy;

 

·                  be unable to successfully operate the treatment centers;

 

·                  have difficulty integrating their operations and personnel;

 

·                  be unable to retain physicians or key management personnel;

 

·                  acquire treatment centers with unknown or contingent liabilities, including liabilities for failure to comply with healthcare laws and regulations;

 

·                  experience difficulties with transitioning or integrating the information systems of acquired treatment centers;

 

·                  be unable to contract with third-party payers or attract patients to our treatment centers; and/or

 

·                  experience losses and lower gross revenues and operating margins during the initial periods of operating our newly-developed treatment centers.

 

Larger acquisitions could increase our potential exposure to business risks. Furthermore, integrating a new treatment center could be expensive and time consuming, and could disrupt our ongoing business and distract our management and other key personnel. In addition, we may incur significant transaction fees and expenses, including for potential transactions that are not consummated.

 

We may continue to explore acquisition opportunities outside of the United States when favorable opportunities are available to us. In addition to the risks set forth herein, foreign acquisitions involve unique risks including the particular economic, political and regulatory risks associated with the specific country, currency risks, the relative uncertainty regarding laws and regulations and the potential difficulty of integrating operations across different cultures and languages.

 

We currently plan to continue to develop new treatment centers in existing and new local markets, including international markets. We may not be able to structure economically beneficial arrangements in new markets as a result of healthcare laws applicable to such market or otherwise. If these plans change for any reason or the anticipated schedules for opening and costs of development are revised by us, we may be negatively impacted. There can be no assurance that these planned treatment centers will be completed or that, if developed, will achieve sufficient patient volume to generate positive operating margins. If we are unable to timely and efficiently integrate a newly-developed treatment center, our business could suffer.

 

In the case of OnCure, the business operates through a structure dependent on management services agreements. If we are unable to manage these management services agreements and the associated relationships, the business may suffer and the expected results of the acquisition may not be realized.

 

We cannot assure you that we will achieve the revenue and benefits identified in this quarterly report from completed acquisitions, including with respect to OnCure, or that we will achieve synergies and cost savings or benefits in connection with future acquisitions. In addition, many of the businesses that we have acquired and will acquire have unaudited financial statements that have been prepared by the management of such companies and have not been independently reviewed and audited. We cannot assure you that the financial statements of companies we have acquired or will acquire would not be materially different if such statements were audited. Finally, we cannot assure you that we will continue to acquire businesses at valuations consistent with our prior acquisitions or that we will complete acquisitions at all.

 

We are exposed to local business risks in different countries, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

 

We have significant operations in foreign countries. Currently, we operate through 25 legal entities in Argentina, Costa Rica, The Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala and Mexico, in addition to our operations in the United States. Our offshore operations are subject to risks inherent in doing business in foreign countries, including, but not necessarily limited to:

 

·                  new and different legal and regulatory requirements in local jurisdictions, which may conflict with U.S. laws;

 

·                  local economic conditions;

 

68



Table of Contents

 

·                  potential staffing difficulties and labor disputes;

 

·                  increased costs of transportation or shipping;

 

·                  credit risk and financial conditions of government, commercial and patient payers;

 

·                  risk of nationalization of private enterprises by foreign governments;

 

·                  potential imposition of restrictions on investments;

 

·                  potential restrictions on repatriation of funds, payments of dividends and other financial options integral to our investments and operations;

 

·                  potential declines in government and/or private payer reimbursement amounts for our services;

 

·                  potentially adverse tax consequences, including imposition or increase of withholding and other taxes on remittances and other payments by subsidiaries;

 

·                  foreign currency exchange restrictions and fluctuations; and

 

·                  local political and social conditions, including the possibility of hyperinflationary conditions and political or social instability in certain countries.

 

We may not be successful in developing and implementing policies and strategies to address the foregoing factors in a timely and effective manner at each location where we do business. Consequently, the occurrence of one or more of the foregoing factors could have a material adverse effect on our international operations or upon our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Further, our international operations require us to comply with a number of U.S. and international regulations. For example, we must comply with U.S. economic sanctions and export control laws in connection with exports of products and services, and we must comply with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), which prohibits U.S. companies or their agents and employees from providing anything of value to a foreign official or agent thereof for the purposes of influencing any act or decision of these individuals in their official capacity to help obtain or retain business, direct business to any person or corporate entity or obtain any unfair advantage. Any failure by us to ensure that our employees and agents comply with the FCPA, economic sanctions and export controls, and applicable laws and regulations in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial penalties or restrictions on our ability to conduct business in certain foreign jurisdictions, and our results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

 

In addition, local governments may take actions that are adverse to our interests and our business. For example, in 2012 Argentina’s government nationalized the country’s largest oil and gas company via taking a 51% stake. While no such proposal has been made or threatened with respect to any businesses in the Argentine healthcare sector, we have significant operations in Argentina and any such development could have a material adverse effect on our international operations or upon our financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Argentine government has implemented certain measures that control and restrict the ability of companies and individuals to exchange Argentine pesos for foreign currencies. Those measures include, among other things, the requirement to obtain the prior approval from the Argentine Tax Authority of the foreign currency transaction (for example and without limitation, for the payment of non-Argentine goods and services, payment of principal and interest on non-Argentine debt and also payment of dividends to parties outside of the country), which approval process could delay, and eventually restrict, the ability to exchange Argentine pesos for other currencies, such as U.S. dollars. Those approvals are administered by the Argentine Central Bank through the Local Exchange Market (“Mercado Unico Libre de Cambios”, or “MULC”), which is the only market where exchange transactions may be lawfully made.

 

During January 2014 the Argentinean peso exchange rate against the U.S. dollar increased in approximately 23%, from 6.52 Argentinean Pesos per U.S. dollar as of December 31, 2013 to approximately 8.0 Argentinean Pesos per U.S. dollar. As of June 30, 2014, the Argentinean Peso exchange rate was $8.13 per U.S. dollar.

 

Our international subsidiaries accounted for $45.5 million and $43.1 million or 9.1% and 12.3%, of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Latin America, including Argentina, has experienced adverse economic conditions.

 

Latin American countries have historically experienced uneven periods of economic growth, as well as recession, periods of high inflation and economic instability. Currently, as a consequence of adverse economic conditions in global markets and diminishing commodity prices, many of the economies of Latin American countries have slowed their rates of growth, and some have entered mild recessions. The duration and severity of this slowdown is hard to predict and could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Additionally, certain countries have experienced or are currently experiencing severe economic crises, including Argentina, which may still have future effects.

 

During 2001 and 2002, Argentina went through a period of severe political, economic and social crisis. Among other consequences, the crisis resulted in the Argentine government defaulting on its foreign debt obligations, introducing emergency measures and numerous changes in economic policies that affected utilities and many other sectors of the economy, and suffering a significant real devaluation of the peso, which in turn caused numerous Argentine private sector debtors with foreign currency exposure to default on their outstanding debt.

 

In the first half of 2005, Argentina restructured part of the sovereign debt it defaulted; however, a number of creditors refused to approve the restructuring and litigation brought by these holdout creditors ensued. This litigation initiated by these holdout creditors has persisted to this day. On June 16, 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected an Argentine appeal and decided to leave in place a lower court ruling in favor on the

 

69



Table of Contents

 

holdout creditors, which held that the Argentine government is prohibited from making payments on its restructured debt unless it also pays the holdout creditors, who have previously refused to accept its debt restructuring offers, the amount owed to them.

 

In July 2014, Argentina and the holdout creditors failed to reach an agreement on the restructuring of this debt. As a result, the Argentine government was prohibited from making certain bond payments. The full consequences of this on Argentina’s political and economic landscape, and on the Company, are still unclear. We cannot provide any assurance that inflation, fluctuations in the value of the peso, the implementation of additional foreign currency restrictions and/or other future economic, social and political developments in Argentina resulting from this current Argentine sovereign debt crisis or the difficult economic conditions that current exist in Argentina, over which we have no control, will not adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations, including our ability to pay our debts at maturity.

 

We are addressing a previous material weakness with respect to our internal controls and have identified two separate material weaknesses in our internal controls, which could, if not sufficiently remediated, result in material misstatements in our financial statements.

 

In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012, we identified a material weakness in internal controls relating to the valuation of goodwill. We have taken steps since then to remediate the internal control weakness, such that at December 31, 2013, our controls over the valuation of goodwill operated effectively. During 2013, we continued to review the underlying assumptions and inputs to the valuation specialists, as well as reviewed the underlying schedules related to the output of the calculation of the impairment values. As we further optimize and refine our goodwill valuation processes, we will review the related controls and may take additional steps to ensure that they remain effective and are integrated appropriately. While we have implemented the procedures described above and will continue to take further steps in the near future to strengthen further our internal controls, there can be no assurance that we will not identify control deficiencies in the future or that such deficiencies will not have a material impact on our operating results or financial statements.

 

In addition, in March 2014, we identified a material weakness in our internal communications regarding the identification of and accounting for the loss contingency, along with the related disclosure regarding certain subpoenas we received in February, 2014, from the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health & Human Services. We determined that the error was caused by the fact that certain controls relating to (i) the design of certain controls relating to the identification and communication of potential losses relating to certain patient billings and (ii) deficiencies in the determination of and accounting for the probable loss as well as the related disclosures regarding the subpoenas. Management determined that these control deficiencies constituted material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. See Item 9A for further information.

 

We are in the process of developing and implementing new processes and procedures to remediate the material weaknesses that existed in our internal control over financial reporting with respect to the identification of and accounting for a loss contingency and related disclosure as of December 31, 2013, as well as the continued improvement of our overall system of internal controls over financial reporting with respect to the accounting for loss contingencies, including the establishment of a disclosure committee and the assessment of future probable loss contingency accounting and methods.

 

If our remedial measures are insufficient to address the material weaknesses or if additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control are discovered or occur in the future, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results, or report them within the required timeframes, our consolidated financial statements may contain material misstatements and we could be required to restate our financial results in the future, which could cause investors and others to lose confidence in our financial statements, limit our ability to raise capital and could adversely affect our reputation, results of operations and financial condition.

(a)     On August 25, 2014, Bryan J. Carey resigned as the President, Chief Financial Officer and Vice Chairman of the Company, as a member of the Company’s board of directors, and from the offices and directorships he held with the Company’s subsidiaries. His resignation was not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. On August 25, 2014, David Beckman was appointed Interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT

 

THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT is dated as of July 22, 2014 (this “Amendment”), and is entered into by and among (i) 21C EAST FLORIDA, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with its successors, the “Term B Loan Borrower”) and SOUTH FLORIDA RADIATION ONCOLOGY COCONUT CREEK, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (together with its successors, the “Term A Loan Borrower”) (each of the Term B Loan Borrower and the Term A Loan Borrower a “Borrower” and, collectively, the “Borrowers”), (ii) the Lenders party to the Existing Credit Agreement and (iii) CORTLAND CAPITAL MARKET SERVICES LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.

 

R E C I T A L S

 

A.                                    The Borrowers, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are parties to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of February 10, 2014 (the “Existing Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Lenders made Term A Loans to the Term A Loan Borrower and Term B Loans to the Term B Loan Borrower on the Closing Date, all on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein and in the other Loan Documents.  Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Existing Credit Agreement after giving effect to this Amendment (the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, is sometimes referred to herein as the “Amended Credit Agreement”).

 

B.                                    The Term A Loan Borrower has requested that the Term A Loan Lenders make a new incremental term loan available to the Term A Loan Borrower in the aggregate principal amount equal to the Term A-1 Loan Commitment (the “Term A-1 Loan”) on the Term A-1 Loan Effective Date.  The Term A-1 Loan will be guarantied by the Term A Loan Guarantors under the Term A Loan Guarantee Agreement.

 

C.                                    In addition, the Term A Loan Borrower has requested that the Term A Loan Lenders make an additional incremental term loan available to the Term A Loan Borrower in the aggregate principal amount equal to the Term A-2 Loan Commitment (the “Term A-2 Loan”) on the Term A-2 Loan Effective Date.  The Term A-2 Loan will be guarantied by the Term A Loan Guarantors under the Term A Loan Guarantee Agreement and secured by Liens to be granted in favor of the Collateral Agent in and to the assets and properties of certain additional Covenant Parties.

 

D.                                    In addition, the Borrowers have advised the Lenders and the Agents that the Defaults and Events of Default listed on Annex A (collectively, the “First Amendment Specified Defaults”) have occurred and are continuing under the Existing Credit Agreement and certain other Loan Documents and have requested that the Lenders waive the First Amendment Specified Defaults and the additional interest accruing on the Term A Loans and the Term B Loans made on the Closing Date at the default rates, respectively, pursuant to Section 2.14(c) of the Existing Credit Agreement from the Closing Date through and including the Term A-1 Loan Effective Date solely with respect to the First Amendment Specified Defaults (such additional interest being the “First Amendment Specified Default Interest”).

 

E.                                     In addition, the Borrowers have requested that the Lenders agree to amend certain provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement and certain other Loan Documents.

 

F.                                      The Lenders are willing to (i) make the Term A-1 Loan available to the Term A Loan Borrower on the Term A-1 Loan Effective Date, (ii) make the Term A-2 Loan available to the Term A Loan Borrower on the Term A-2 Loan Effective Date (if it occurs), (iii) effective as of the Term A-1

 



 

Loan Effective Date, waive the First Amendment Specified Defaults, (iv) effective as of the Term A-1 Loan Effective Date, waive the First Amendment Specified Default Interest that accrued on and after the Closing Date through and including March 30, 2014 (the “Waived First Amendment Specified Default Interest”), (v) effective as of the Term A-2 Loan Effective Date (if it occurs), waive the First Amendment Specified Default Interest that accrued on and after March 31, 2014 through and including the Term A-1 Loan Effective Date (the “Suspended First Amendment Specified Default Interest”) and (vi) amend the Existing Credit Agreement and certain other Loan Documents as provided herein, but, in each case, only on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the other Term A-1 Loan Documents.

 

G.                                    It is a condition precedent to the making of the Term A-1 Loans that, among other things, the Target Sellers purchase participation interests in the Term A Loan Lenders’ Term A-1 Loans as provided herein and in the Target Seller Participation Agreements.

2.4                               Evidence of Debt; Register; Lenders’ Books and Records; Term Loan Notes.

 

(a)                          Lenders’ Evidence of Debt.  Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of Borrower to such Lender, including the amounts of the Term Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof.  Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower, absent manifest error; provided, that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Term Loan Commitments or Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any applicable Term Loans; and provided further, in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.

 

(b)                          Register.  Administrative Agent shall maintain at its Principal Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Term Loan Commitments and Term Loans of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”).  The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower, and a redacted version of the Register showing the entries with respect to any Lender shall be available for inspection by such Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the Term Loan Commitments and the Term Loans (including stated interest), and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Term Loans, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error.

(b)                          Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.5(a) shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues.  In computing interest on any Term Loan, the date of the making of such Term Loan shall be included, and the date of payment of such Term Loan shall be excluded.

 

14

2.7                               Fees.

 

(a)                          On the Term Loan Maturity Date (including as a result of acceleration (including upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 8.1(f) or 8.1(g))), the Borrower will pay the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a fee equal to $1,750,000 (or $875,000 if Holdings obtains the Capital Contribution).

(a)                          Application of All Prepayments.  Any prepayment of any Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.8 shall be applied as follows:

 

first, to the payment of all expenses and fees of the Agents and the Lenders hereunder to the full extent thereof;

 

second, to the payment of any accrued interest thereon at the Default Rate, if any;

 

third, to the payment of any accrued interest thereon (other than that calculated at the Default Rate and paid in clause “second” above); and

15



 

With respect to any prepayment, the Administrative Agent shall determine the amounts to be allocated hereunder.  Determinations by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed conclusive and binding on the Borrower and Lenders absent manifest error.

(b)                     All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Term Loan shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid.

 

(c)                      Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address or to such account as such Lender shall indicate in writing to Administrative Agent, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due thereto, including all fees payable with respect thereto, in each case, to the extent received by Administrative Agent.

 

(d)                     Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the commitment fees hereunder.

 

(e)                      Administrative Agent may deem any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 12:00 p.m.  (New York City time) to be a non-conforming payment.  Any such payment may, at the election of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have not been received by Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day.  Interest fees shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the Default Rate determined pursuant to Section 2.6 from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.

 

(f)                       If an Event of Default shall have occurred and not otherwise been waived and the maturity of the Obligations shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.1 all payments or proceeds received by Agents hereunder in respect of any of the Obligations shall be applied first, to pay any costs and expenses then due to any Agent in connection with the foreclosure or realization upon, the disposal, storage, maintenance or otherwise dealing with any of, the Collateral or otherwise, and indemnities and other amounts then due to any Agent under the Credit Documents until paid in full, second, to pay any costs, expenses, indemnities, fees or premiums then due to Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents until paid in full, third, ratably to pay any expenses or indemnities then due to any of the Lenders under the Credit Documents, until paid in full, fourth, ratably to pay interest due in respect of the Term Loan until paid in full, fifth, ratably to pay the principal amount of all Term Loans then outstanding until paid in full, and sixth, to pay ratably any other Obligations then due and payable.

 

16



 

2.11                        Ratable Sharing.  Lenders hereby agree among themselves that, except as otherwise provided in the Collateral Documents with respect to amounts realized from the exercise of rights with respect to Liens on the Collateral, if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Term Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided, that if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise, those purchases to that extent shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.  The Borrower expressly consent to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by the Borrower to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.

(a)                     Compensation For Increased Costs and Taxes.  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.13 (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any Change in Law, or any determination of a court or Governmental Authority that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any central bank or other governmental or quasi-Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law): (i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) to any additional Tax (other than any Indemnified Taxes or Taxes described in clauses (a)(iii), (b) and (c) of the definition of Excluded Taxes) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Term Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder.  Such Lender shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to

 

17



 

Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.12(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

 

(b)                     Capital Adequacy Adjustment.  In the event that any Lender shall have determined that the adoption, effectiveness, phase in or applicability after the Closing Date of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any Change in Law, or compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Term Loans, or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Term Loans to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within five Business Days after receipt by Borrower from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation on an after-tax basis for such reduction.  Such Lender shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.12(b), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

 

2.13                        Taxes; Withholding, etc.

 

(a)                     Payments to Be Free and Clear.  All sums payable by any Credit Party hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall (except to the extent required by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax.

 

(b)                     Withholding of Taxes.  If any Withholding Agent is required by law to make any deduction, withholding or payment on account of any Tax from any sum paid or payable under any of the Credit Documents: (i) Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent if it becomes aware of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement promptly after Borrower becomes aware of it; (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law; (iii) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by such Credit Party in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction, withholding or payment, Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and (iv) as soon as practicable after making any such deduction, withholding or payment of any Tax which is required by clause (i) above to be paid, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent of such payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority.

(d)                     Indemnification.  Without duplication of Section 2.13(b), the Credit Parties shall indemnify each Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Agent or such Lender or their respective Tax Related Persons, as the case may be (or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Person), relating to, arising out of, or in connection with any Credit Document or any payment or transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, and all reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto or incurred in enforcing the provisions of this Section 2.13.  A certificate from the relevant Lender or Agent, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such Taxes shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 

(e)                      Evidence of Exemption From U.S.  Withholding Tax. Each Lender that is not a “United States person” (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to Administrative Agent for its own account and for transmission to Borrower, on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Borrower or Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (i) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY or W-8ECI (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, together with any applicable attachments (including, if such Lender is not the beneficial owner and such beneficial owner(s) would be described by clause (ii) below if it were a Lender, a certificate substantially similar to the Certificate Regarding Non-Bank Status from such beneficial owner), and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Administrative Agent or Borrower to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Credit Documents or is subject to deduction or withholding at a reduced rate, or (ii) if such Lender is not a “bank” or other Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and cannot deliver Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI pursuant to clause (i) above, a Certificate Regarding Non-Bank Status together with two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Administrative Agent or Borrower to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of interest payable under any of the Credit Documents.  Each Lender required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to this Section 2.13(e) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent for its own account and for transmission to Borrower two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY or W-8ECI, or a Certificate Regarding Non-Bank Status and two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor form), as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, together with any applicable attachments, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Administrative Agent or Borrower to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Credit Documents or is subject to deduction or withholding at a reduced rate, or notify Administrative Agent and Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence.  Nothing in this Section 2.13 shall be

 

19



 

construed to require a Lender, Agent or Participant to provide any forms or documentation that it is not legally entitled to provide.

 

(f)                       Each of the Administrative Agent and any Lender that is not a Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to Administrative Agent for its own account and for transmission to Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes an Administrative Agent or a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter as prescribed by applicable law or upon the request of Administrative Agent or Borrower), duly executed and properly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Administrative Agent or Lender is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax.

 

(g)                      Each Lender shall deliver to Administrative Agent for its own account and for transmission to Borrower, upon its reasonable request, such other tax forms or other documents as shall be prescribed by applicable law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Administrative Agent or Borrower as may be necessary for such Person to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from payments under this Agreement and the Credit Documents to such Lender or to demonstrate, where applicable, that payments under this Agreement and the Credit Documents to such Lender are exempt from application of the U.S. withholding tax imposed pursuant to FATCA. Solely for purposes of this subsection (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 

(h)                     If the Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of or credit against any Taxes with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.13 it shall pay over such refund or credit to Borrower (but only to the extent of amounts paid by Borrower under this Section 2.13), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund or credit). Borrower, upon the request of such Lender, shall repay to such Lender the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the Lender be required to pay any amount to Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information that it deems confidential or proprietary) to Borrower or any other Person.

 

(i)                         Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Administrative Agent and Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.

4.3                               No Conflict.  The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Credit Parties of the Credit Documents to which they are parties and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents do not and will not (a) violate any provision of any law or any governmental rule or regulation applicable to such Credit Party, any of the Organizational Documents of such Credit Party, or any order, judgment or decree of any court or other agency of government binding on such Credit Party; (b) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any material contractual obligation of such Credit Party (including, without limitation, the Senior Secured Credit Agreement and the 21C Indentures); (c) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of such Credit Party (other than any Liens

4.4                               Governmental Consents.  The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Credit Parties of the Credit Documents to which they are parties and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents do not and will not require any registration with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action to, with or by, any Governmental Authority except for filings and recordings with respect to the Collateral to be made, or otherwise delivered to Collateral Agent for filing and/or recordation, as of the Closing Date.

 

4.5                               Binding Obligation.  Each Credit Document has been duly executed and delivered by each Credit Party that is a party thereto and is the legally valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with its respective terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability (whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

 

4.6                               Governmental Regulation.  Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or under any other federal or state statute or regulation which may limit its ability to incur Indebtedness or which may otherwise render all or any portion of the Obligations unenforceable.  Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries is a “registered investment company” or a company “controlled” by a “registered investment company” or a “principal underwriter” of a “registered investment company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

 

4.7                               Margin Stock.  Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock.  No part of the proceeds of the Term Loans made to such Credit Party will be used to purchase or carry any such Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such Margin Stock or for any purpose that violates, or is inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

 

4.8                               Solvency.  Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis are and will be Solvent.

24



 

(c)                      None of the Credit Parties, nor any of their Subsidiaries deals in, or otherwise engages in any transaction relating to, any property or interests in property blocked pursuant to any OFAC Sanctions Programs.

 

(d)                     No part of the proceeds of the Term Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, in furtherance of any offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment of money or anything else of value to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended (the “FCPA”), or any other anti-bribery law.  No Credit Party, nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective officers, directors or employees, nor, to its knowledge, any of its agents or representatives, has:  (i) directly or indirectly, made an “unlawful payment” within the meaning of, and is not in any other way in violation of, the FCPA or similar laws in any jurisdiction; (ii) used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or unlawful expense relating to political activity; (iii) made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds; or (iv) paid any bribe, rebate, pay-off, influence payment, kick-back or other unlawful payment.

 

4.10                        Security Interest in Collateral.  The provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents create legal and valid Liens on all the Collateral in favor of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Collateral Agent and the Lenders, and such Liens constitute perfected and continuing Liens on the Collateral, securing the Obligations, enforceable against the applicable Credit Party and all third parties, and having priority over all other Liens on the Collateral.

 

4.11                        Other Representations and Warranties.  Except as set forth on Schedule 4.11, each of the representations and warranties contained in the Senior Credit Agreement are true and correct in all respects on and as of that Credit Date to the same extent as though made on and as of that date (or to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date on and as of such earlier date).

 

4.12                        Senior Debt.  The Guaranties and the Guaranteed Obligations constitute Senior Debt (as defined in the Subordinated Notes Indenture) in the case of the Company (as defined in the Subordinated Notes Indenture) and Guarantor Senior Debt, in the case of the Guarantors (as defined in the Subordinated Notes Indenture).

 

4.13                        Historical Financial Statements.  The historical financial statements delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.1(l) were prepared in conformity with GAAP and fairly present, in all material respects, the financial position, on a consolidated basis, of the Persons described in such financial statements as at the respective dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows, on a consolidated basis, of the entities described therein for each of the periods then ended, subject, in the case of any such unaudited financial statements, to changes resulting from audit and normal year-end adjustments.  As of the Closing Date, neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has any contingent liability or liability for taxes, long term lease or unusual forward or long term commitment that is not reflected in such historical financial statements or the notes thereto and which in any such case is material in relation to the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

 

4.14                        No Material Adverse Change.  Except for financial issues relating to the Company as specifically disclosed to the Lenders on or prior to the Closing Date, since December 31, 2013, no event, circumstance or change has occurred that has caused or evidences, either in any case or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

 

25



 

4.15                        Common Enterprise.  The successful operation and condition of each of the Credit Parties is dependent on the continued successful performance of the functions of the group of the Credit Parties as a whole and the successful operation of each of the Credit Parties is dependent on the successful performance and operation of each other Credit Party.  Each Credit Party expects to derive benefit (and its board of directors or other governing body has determined that it may reasonably be expected to derive benefit), directly and indirectly, from (i) successful operations of each of the other Credit Parties and (ii) the credit extended by the Lenders to the Borrower hereunder, both in their separate capacities and as members of the group of companies.  Each Credit Party has determined that execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and any other Credit Documents to be executed by such Credit Party is within its purpose, will be of direct and indirect benefit to such Credit Party, and is in its best interest.

 

SECTION 5.             AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

 

Each Credit Party covenants and agrees that so long as any Term Loan Commitment is in effect and until payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations that by their terms survive termination of the Credit Documents), each Credit Party shall perform, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to perform, all covenants in this Section 5.

26



 

of their Subsidiaries shall be required to preserve any such existence, right or governmental authorizations, qualifications, franchise, licenses and permits if such Person has total assets of $25,000 or less and such Person’s board of directors (or similar governing body) shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of such Person, and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to such Person or to Lenders.

SECTION 6.             NEGATIVE COVENANTS

 

Each Credit Party covenants and agrees that, so long as any Term Loan Commitment is in effect and until payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations that by their terms survive termination of the Credit Documents), such Credit Party shall perform, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to perform, all covenants in this Section 6.

 

6.1                               Non-Ordinary Course Transactions.  Holdings shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Subsidiaries of 21C East Florida, LLC) to engage in any transaction (other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice in all material respects) without the consent of the Lenders in their sole discretion.

 

6.2                               Amendments to Certain Agreements.  Except for amendments or supplements necessary to effectuate the Restructuring (as defined in the Recapitalization Agreement) or to enable Subsidiaries of Holdings to become guarantors under the Senior Credit Agreement and the 21C Indentures to the extent required by the Senor Credit Agreement and the 21C Indentures, no Credit Party shall amend, modify or supplement or permit any amendments, modifications or supplements to, or waivers of, the Senior Credit Agreement or the 21C Indentures.

SECTION 7.             GUARANTY

 

7.1                               Guaranty of the Obligations.  Subject to the provisions of Section 7.2, Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Beneficiaries the due and punctual payment in full of all Obligations when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §362(a)) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

 

7.2                               Contribution by Guarantors.  All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the “Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty.  Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date.  “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor, to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by, (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the obligations Guaranteed.  “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 7.2, any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor.  “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including in respect of this Section 7.2), minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 7.2.  The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor.  The allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 7.2 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder.  Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 7.2.

 

7.3                               Payment by Guarantors.  Subject to Section 7.2, Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of any Borrower to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including

 

28



 

amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §362(a)), Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in Cash, to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Beneficiaries, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for any Borrower’s becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against any Borrower for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Beneficiaries as aforesaid.

 

7.4                               Liability of Guarantors Absolute.  Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

 

(a)                     this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability.  This Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety;

 

(b)                     Administrative Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between any Borrower and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;

 

(c)                      the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrower and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against any Borrower or any of such other Guarantors and whether or not any Borrower is joined in any such action or actions;

 

(d)                     payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid; and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Administrative Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations;

 

(e)                      any Beneficiary, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Beneficiary in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or

manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Beneficiary may have against any such security, in each case as such Beneficiary in its discretion may determine consistent herewith and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against any Borrower or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Credit Documents; and

 

(f)                       this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Credit Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Credit Documents or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Credit Document or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Credit Documents or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Beneficiary might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any Beneficiary’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set offs or counterclaims which any Borrower may allege or assert against any Beneficiary in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

7.5                               Waivers by Guarantors.  Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Beneficiaries: (a) any right to require any Beneficiary, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against any Borrower, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Borrower, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of any Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of any Borrower or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of any Borrower or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more

 

30



 

burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to any Borrower and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 7.4 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.

 

7.6                               Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, etc.  Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations that by their terms survive termination of the Credit Documents), each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including without limitation (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Beneficiary.  In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations that by their terms survive termination of the Credit Documents) shall have been paid in full, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 7.2.  Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against any Borrower or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Beneficiary may have against any Borrower, to all right, title and interest any Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Beneficiary may have against such other guarantor.  If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations that by their terms survive termination of the Credit Documents) shall not have been finally paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

7.7                               Subordination of Other Obligations.  Any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the “Obligee Guarantor”) is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent

 

31



 

for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision hereof.

 

7.8                               Continuing Guaranty.  This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations that by their terms survive termination of the Credit Documents) shall have been paid in full.  Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.

 

7.9                               Authority of Guarantors or Borrower.  It is not necessary for any Beneficiary to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or Borrower or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.

 

7.10                        Financial Condition of Borrower.  Any Credit Extension may be made to any Borrower or continued from time to time, without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of any Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation.  No Beneficiary shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of any Borrower.  Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from Borrower on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of Borrower and their ability to perform its obligations under the Credit Documents and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Borrower and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations.  Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Beneficiary to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of Borrower now known or hereafter known by any Beneficiary.

 

7.11                        Bankruptcy, etc.

 

(a)                     So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent acting pursuant to the instructions of Requisite Lenders, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding of or against any Borrower or any other Guarantor or admit in writing or in any legal proceeding that it is unable to pay its debts as they become due.  The obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of any Borrower or any other Guarantor or by any defense which any Borrower or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

 

(b)                     Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantors and Beneficiaries that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve the Borrower of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations.  Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar person to pay Administrative Agent,

 

32



 

or allow the claim of Administrative Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.

 

(c)                      In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by the Borrower, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder.

SECTION 9.             AGENTS

 

9.1                               Appointment.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent as the agents of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes each of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, in such capacities, to take such actions on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Credit Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent.

 

9.2                               Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may execute any of their respective duties under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

 

9.3                               Exculpatory Provisions.  Neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision

 

35



 

of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Credit Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or for any failure of the Borrower a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.  The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower or any other obligor under the Credit Documents.

 

9.4                               Reliance by Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall each be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be.  The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 10.6.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall each be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Credit Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Requisite Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents in accordance with a request of the Requisite Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Term Loans.

 

9.5                               Notice of Default.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.”  In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and the Collateral Agent.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall each take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Requisite Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent each may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

 

9.6                               Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders.  Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender.  Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents

 

36



 

and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and made its own decision to extend credit hereunder and enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Credit Document, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

 

9.7                               Indemnification.  The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent, its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, and affiliates (collectively, the “Agent Indemnified Parties”) in their capacity as such (to the extent not timely reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to each Lender’s respective ratio (expressed as a percentage) of the sum of such Lender’s unpaid principal amount of such Lender’s Term Loans at such time to the sum of all Lenders’ unpaid principal amount of the Loans on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Term Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with each Lender’s respective ratio (expressed as a percentage) of the sum of such Lender’s unpaid principal amount of such Lender’s Term Loans immediately prior to such repayment, to the sum of all Lenders’ unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans at such time), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnified Party in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnified Party under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Term Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 

9.8                               Agent in Its Individual Capacity.  Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower as though such Agent were not an Agent.

 

9.9                               Successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent.  The Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may resign as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower.  If the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, then the Requisite Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the

Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and the term “Administrative Agent” or “Collateral Agent”, as the case may be, means such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s, as the case may be, rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Term Loans.  If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s, as the case may be, notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hereunder until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders and the Borrower, as applicable, appoint a successor Agent as provided for above.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold the Collateral (at the Lenders’ expense) created by the Credit Documents for the benefit of the Lenders until the successor Collateral Agent has been effectively appointed pursuant to this paragraph.

 

9.10                        Withholding Tax.  To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax.  If the Internal Revenue Service or any other authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Taxes or otherwise, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b)                     To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Credit Party shall assert, and each Credit Party hereby waives, any claim against Lenders, Agents and their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys or agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated

 

39



 

hereby or thereby, any Term Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each Credit Party hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

(a)                     Requisite Lenders’ Consent.  Subject to Sections 10.5(b) and 10.5(c), no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Credit Documents, or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of (i) in the case of this Agreement, Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders or (ii) in the case of any other Credit Document, Administrative Agent and, if party thereto, Collateral Agent, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders.

 

(b)                     Affected Lenders’ Consent.  Without the written consent of each Lender that would be affected thereby, no amendment, modification, termination, or consent shall be effective if the effect thereof would:

 

(i)                                          extend the scheduled final maturity of any Term Loan or Term Loan Note of such Lender;

 

(ii)                                       reduce the rate of interest on any Term Loan of such Lender or any fee payable hereunder;

(c)                      Other Consents.  No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Credit Documents, or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of Section 9 as the same applies to any Agent, or any other provision hereof as the same applies to the rights or obligations of any Agent, in each case without the consent of such Agent.

 

(d)                     Execution of Amendments, etc.  Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender.  Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.  No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.  Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 10.5 shall be binding upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by a Credit Party, on such Credit Party.

 

10.6                        Successors and Assigns; Participations.

 

(a)                     Generally.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of Lenders.  No Credit Party’s rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be assigned or delegated by any Credit Party without the prior written consent of all Lenders (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Credit Party without such consent shall be null and void).  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Affiliates of each of the Agents and Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

(b)                     Register.  The Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Term Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Term Loan shall be effective, in each case, unless and until an Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been delivered to and accepted by Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register as provided in Section 10.6(e).  Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Term Loan shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Term Loans.  Solely for the purposes of

 

41



 

maintaining the Register and for tax purposes only Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be acting on behalf of the Credit Parties.

 

(c)                      Right to Assign.  Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including all or a portion of its Term Loans owing to it, Commitments or other Obligations:

 

(i)      to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (a) of the definition of the term of “Eligible Assignee” upon the giving of notice to Borrower and Administrative Agent; or

 

(ii)   to any Person otherwise constituting an Eligible Assignee; provided, each such assignment pursuant to this Section 10.6(c)(ii) shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by Borrower and Administrative Agent or as shall constitute the aggregate amount of the Term Loans of the assigning Lender), provided that the foregoing minimum assignment amounts shall not apply (x) to any assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund of the assignor or (y) if any Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing.

 

(d)                     Mechanics.  The assigning Lender and the assignee thereof shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement, together with (i) such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.13(e), and (ii) the assignment fees specified in the Assignment Agreement.

 

(e)                      Notice of Assignment.  Upon its receipt and acceptance of a duly executed and completed Assignment Agreement, any forms, certificates or other evidence required by this Agreement in connection therewith, Administrative Agent shall record the information contained in such Assignment Agreement in the Register, shall give prompt notice thereof to Borrower and shall maintain a copy of such Assignment Agreement.

 

(f)                       Representations and Warranties of Assignee.  Each Lender, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon executing and delivering an Assignment Agreement, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or as of the applicable Effective Date (as defined in the applicable Assignment Agreement) that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the applicable Term Loans, as the case may be; and (iii) it will make or invest in its Term Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and without a view to distribution of such Term Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.6, the disposition of such Term Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).

 

(g)                      Effect of Assignment.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.6, as of the “Effective Date” specified in the applicable Assignment Agreement: (i) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder to the extent such rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a “Lender” for all purposes hereof; (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned thereby pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section 10.9) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto; provided, anything contained in any of the Credit

 

42



 

Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder) and (iii) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Term Loan Note hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Term Loan Notes to Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon the Borrower shall issue and deliver new Term Loan Notes, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect outstanding Term Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.

 

(h)                     Participations.  Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Person (other than Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates) in all or any part of its Term Loans or in any other Obligation.  The holder of any such participation (a “Participant”), other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Term Loan or Term Loan Note in which such Participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except any amendment to the definition of “Default Rate” or in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the Participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Term Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any Participant if the Participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents or all or substantially all of the Guarantors from the Guaranty (in each case, except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Term Loans hereunder in which such Participant is participating.  The Borrower agree that each Participant shall be entitled, through the participating Lender, to the benefits of Sections 2.12 and 2.13 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (c) of this Section; provided, (i) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 2.13 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent or such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation, and (ii) a Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.13 unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.4 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.11 as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register in the United States on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Term Loans or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or other obligations under any Credit Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

 

43



 

(i)                         Certain Other Assignments.  In addition to any other assignment permitted pursuant to this Section 10.6, any Lender may assign, pledge and/or grant a security interest in, all or any portion of its Term Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its Term Loan Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender including any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided, no Lender, as between the Borrower and such Lender, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge, and provided further, in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.

 

10.7                        Independence of Covenants.  All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

 

10.8                        Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements.  All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension.  Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Credit Party set forth in Sections 2.12, 2.13, 10.2, and 10.3 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in Section 2.11 shall survive the payment of the Term Loans and the termination hereof.

 

10.9                        No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.  No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege.  The rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Credit Documents.  Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

 

10.10                 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside.  Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.  To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders), or Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 

10.11                 Severability.  In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or any Term Loan Note or other Credit Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

44



 

10.12                 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights.  The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Term Loan Commitment of any other Lender hereunder.  Nothing contained herein or in any other Credit Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity.  The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

 

10.13                 Headings.  Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

 

10.14                 APPLICABLE LAWTHIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

10.18                 Usury Savings Clause.  Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged or agreed to be paid with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate.  If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Term Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect.  In addition, if when the Term Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and the Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws.  Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Term Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Borrower.  In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest, throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

 

10.19                 Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

 

10.20                 Effectiveness.  This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by Borrower and Administrative Agent of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof.  Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by telecopy transmission (or other electronic transmission pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original.

 

10.21                 Patriot Act.  Each Lender and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

 

10.22                 Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the other Credit Documents represent the final agreement among the parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements among the parties.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Company pursues the Recapitalization through the Chapter 11 Cases, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit any Consenting Subordinated Noteholder from appearing as a party-in-interest in any matter to be adjudicated in the Chapter 11 Cases so long as such appearance and the positions advocated in connection therewith are consistent with this Agreement and otherwise in furtherance of the Recapitalization and are not for the purpose of, and could not reasonably be expected to have the effect of, hindering, delaying or preventing the consummation of the Recapitalization.

 

5.                                      Parties Commitments.  The Parties understand that the exact form of the capital structure of the reorganized Company described in the Recapitalization Term Sheet is subject to change.  Vestar agrees that so long as the Subordinated Noteholder Claims are equitized as contemplated by the Recapitalization Term Sheet, Vestar’s obligations with respect to its existing equity interests in Investments will remain unchanged.  The treatment of other claims against the Company, including claims under the Credit Agreement (as defined in the Recapitalization Term Sheet), the Second Lien Notes, the OnCure Notes (as defined in the Recapitalization Term Sheet) and the SFRO Credit Agreement (as defined in the Recapitalization Term Sheet), other secured lenders and holders of general unsecured claims shall be subject to the due diligence investigation by the Company and the Consenting Subordinated Noteholders.  The Parties further understand that in connection with the consummation of the Recapitalization additional adjustments to the capital structure may also be required to reflect any new equity investments or senior debt that may be raised, a lesser equitization of the Subordinated Noteholder Claims or an equitization of other parts of the capital structure (an “Adjustment”).  In the event of any such Adjustment, the Parties agree (i) to work in good faith to further adjust the terms set forth in the Recapitalization Term Sheet to modify the recoveries in the Recapitalization to reflect the proportionate change in the value of each Party’s recovery resulting from such Adjustment (e.g., if equitization of Second Lien Notes were to occur there would need to be a commensurate reduction in the equity to be received by all Parties pursuant to the Recapitalization Term Sheet and this Agreement); and (ii) so long as each Party, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, determines that such Adjustment provides a proportionate adjustment to the economic value that was to be received prior to such Adjustment, use commercially reasonable efforts to implement the Recapitalization and such Adjustment in accordance with Sections 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this Agreement.

 

6.                                      Future Agreements.  To the extent the Consenting Subordinated Noteholders enter into an agreement governing their rights as equityholders in the reorganized Company or voting rights or other rights related thereto, the Consenting Subordinated Noteholders shall notify Vestar of such agreement and Vestar may, in its discretion, become a party to such agreement on the same terms and conditions as are available under such agreement to each Consenting Subordinated Noteholder based on such Consenting Subordinated Noteholders’ equity ownership at such time; provided, however, that nothing herein obligates the Consenting Subordinated Noteholders to enter into or pursue such an agreement.

 

7.                                      No Commitment by Consenting Subordinated Noteholders Regarding Second Lien Notes or Other Securities of the Company.  The commitments set forth in Section 4 apply only to the Subordinated Noteholder Claims of the Consenting Subordinated Noteholders.  The Consenting Subordinated Noteholders reserve any and all rights and remedies with respect to any other securities of the Company they may hold, including the Second Lien Notes.  If this

Agreement or the Recapitalization Term Sheet is modified, amended or supplemented consistent with the terms herein pursuant to Sections 5 hereof such that the rights of holders of Second Lien Notes will be modified (i.e., either through new debt terms or equitization) pursuant to the Recapitalization, the Consenting Subordinated Noteholders shall not be subject to the same commitments as set forth in Section 4 with respect to its holdings of Second Lien Notes (if applicable) unless each Consenting Subordinated Noteholder consents to such modification, amendment or supplement.

 

8.                                      Vestar Equity Pledge.  Certain of Vestar’s and the Company’s commitments and obligations under this Agreement shall be secured by the Vestar Equity Pledge.  The Pledge Agreement shall provide that the Consenting Subordinated Noteholders may foreclose upon the Vestar Equity Pledge upon a Foreclosure Event.  A termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 11, other than under Section 11(e) as a result of a breach by Vestar or the Company of any covenants set forth in Sections 2, 3 and 5 of this Agreement, shall result in a release of the Vestar Equity Pledge.  The Vestar Equity Pledge will also be released to the extent required to effectuate any Capital Contribution complying with the terms of this Agreement and the Recapitalization Term Sheet.

 

9.                                      Prohibition on Non-Ordinary Course Transactions.  The Company agrees to operate in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice in all material respects (including, without limitation, with respect to cash management) unless otherwise consented to by the Required Consenting Subordinated Noteholders in their reasonable discretion.

 

10.                               Access to Information.  The Company agrees that it shall, and it shall cause its subsidiaries, advisors or other agents to, reasonably cooperate with the Consenting Subordinated Noteholders or their professionals and provide them upon request at any time or from time to time with reasonable access to information regarding the operations, business affairs and financial condition of the Company, as requested by the Consenting Subordinated Noteholders and their professionals.

 

11.                               Termination.  This Agreement automatically terminates upon the consummation of a Recapitalization.  This Agreement may be terminated by (a) the mutual consent of the Company, Vestar and the Required Consenting Subordinated Noteholders, or (b) either the Company, Vestar or the Required Consenting Subordinated Noteholders upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each a “Termination Event”); provided, however that the Company and Vestar may only terminate this Agreement upon the occurrence of a Termination Event pursuant to clauses (b), (c), (e)(II) and (m) below and the Required Consenting Subordinated Noteholders may not terminate this Agreement upon the occurrence of a Termination Event pursuant to clause (e)(II) below; and provided further, however, that each of the Consenting Subordinated Noteholders may terminate its rights and obligations under this Agreement without affecting the other Parties’ rights and obligations under this Agreement upon the occurrence of a Termination Event pursuant to clause (m) below by providing notice of the same in accordance with Section 30 of this Agreement:

(g)                                  the commencement of an involuntary case against the Company under the Bankruptcy Code if such involuntary case is not dismissed within 60 days of it having been commenced (so long as no order for relief is theretofore entered), unless such involuntary case has been converted to a chapter 11 case with the consent of the Company and no other Termination Event has occurred;

11

(I)

 

the Bankruptcy Court shall have failed to enter the Confirmation Order by 60 days after the Petition Date;

(m)                             the consummation of the Recapitalization shall not have occurred by March 10, 2015; and

 

(n)                                 the consummation of the Recapitalization.

 

The date on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11 shall be referred to as the “Termination Date” and the provisions of this Agreement and the Recapitalization Term Sheet shall terminate, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, unless, in the case of this Section 11, within five (5) Business Days the Company, Vestar (to the extent such event applies to Vestar or gives Vestar a termination right) and the Required Consenting Subordinated Noteholders waive, in writing, the occurrence of or amend or modify any of the events set forth in clauses (a) through (m) of this Section 11.  In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11(a) through (m), written notice thereof shall be given to the other party specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall terminate and be void and have no effect and there shall be no liability hereunder on the part of any Party, except as provided herein.  In the event of the automatic termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11, this Agreement shall terminate and be void and have no effect and there shall be no liability hereunder on the part of any Party.  Nothing in this Section 11 shall relieve any Party of liability for any breach of this Agreement that occurred prior to the occurrence of the Termination Date.  Upon the Termination Date, any and all consents tendered or ballots submitted by the Consenting Subordinated Noteholders prior to such termination shall be deemed, for all purposes, to be null and void from the first instance and shall not be considered or otherwise used in any manner by the Parties in connection with the Recapitalization and this Agreement or otherwise.

 

12



 

12.                               Condition Precedent; Effectiveness.  This Agreement shall only become effective (the date on which this Agreement becomes effective, the “RSA Effective Date”) upon satisfaction of the following conditions:

 

(a)                                 (i) the Company and Vestar have executed and delivered counterpart signature pages of this Agreement to counsel to the Consenting Subordinated Noteholders and (ii) holders of at least 72% in outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated Noteholder Claims shall have executed and delivered to the Company counterpart signature pages of this Agreement;

 

(b)                                 the Bridge Loan Facility shall have been executed and become effective;

 

(c)                                  the Pledge Agreement shall have been executed and become effective; and

 

(d)                                 Investment’s board of managers shall have approved the Corporate Governance Amendment and the Corporate Governance Amendment shall be in full force and the effect.

 

13.                               Transfer of Subordinated Noteholder Claims.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of the Consenting Subordinated Noteholders agrees that until the occurrence of the Termination Date, it shall not sell, assign, transfer, convey, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly (each such transfer, a “Transfer”), all or any of its Subordinated Noteholder Claims (or any right related thereto and including any voting rights associated with such Subordinated Noteholder Claims) unless the transferee thereof (i) is a Consenting Subordinated Noteholder or (ii)(a) agrees in writing by executing a joinder in the form of Exhibit C (the “Transfer Agreement”) to assume and be bound by this Agreement and the Recapitalization Term Sheet, and to assume the rights and obligations of the Consenting Subordinated Noteholder under this Agreement and (b) promptly delivers such writing to the Company (each such transferee becoming, upon the Transfer, a Consenting Subordinated Noteholder hereunder).  The Company shall promptly acknowledge any such Transfer in writing and provide a copy of that acknowledgement to the transferor.  By its acknowledgement of the relevant Transfer, the Company shall be deemed to have acknowledged that its obligations to the Consenting Subordinated Noteholder hereunder shall be deemed to constitute obligations in favor of the relevant transferee.  Any Transfer of any Subordinated Noteholder Claim by a Consenting Subordinated Noteholder that does not comply with the procedure set forth in the first sentence of this Section 13 shall be deemed void ab initio.  This Agreement shall in no way be construed to preclude the Consenting Subordinated Noteholders from acquiring additional Subordinated Noteholder Claims; provided, that any such additional Subordinated Noteholder Claims shall automatically be deemed to be subject to the terms of this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, upon any purchase, acquisition or assumption by any Consenting Subordinated Noteholder, other than in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker of Subordinated Noteholder Claims, such Subordinated Noteholder Claims shall automatically be deemed to be subject to all the terms of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Qualified Marketmaker that acquires Subordinated Noteholder Claims shall not be required to execute a Transfer Agreement to the extent that it is acting solely in its capacity as Qualified Marketmaker of any such Subordinated Noteholder Claims.  For the avoidance of doubt, the exceptions provided herein for transfers to or from a Qualified Marketmaker are provided solely to allow a Qualified Marketmaker to engage in market-making activities with respect to Subordinated Noteholder Claims that are not expressly subject to this Agreement, and any Subordinated

 

13



 

Noteholder Claims subject to this Agreement, whether held by a Qualified Marketmaker or another Consenting Subordinated Noteholder, are subject to the foregoing requirement that, upon any transfer, the transferee shall deliver to the Company an executed Transfer Agreement pursuant to which such transferee shall assume all obligations of the Consenting Subordinated Noteholder transferor hereunder in respect of the Subordinated Noteholder Claims Transferred; provided, however, that any Subordinated Noteholder Claim subject to this Agreement shall be timely tendered or voted (as applicable) in accordance with this Agreement, whether held by a Consenting Subordinated Noteholder, Qualified Marketmaker, or transferee who has signed a Transfer Agreement.

 

14.                               Fees.

 

(a)                                 The Company shall pay, when due and payable, all reasonable and documented costs and expenses of the Consenting Subordinated Noteholders including, without limitation, the costs and expenses incurred by (i) a single lead counsel, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP; (ii) a single investment banker, Houlihan Lokey, Inc.; and (iii) any other professionals that may be reasonably retained by the Consenting Subordinated Noteholders and are reasonably acceptable to the Company that may be required in connection with the Recapitalization, without the need for such parties to file a fee application or otherwise seek Bankruptcy Court approval of such fees and expenses.  All such reasonable and documented fees, expenses and reimbursements incurred up to the Petition Date or the commencement date of the out-of-court exchange offer shall be paid in full prior to such date (without deducting any retainers).  This Section may not be amended without the consent of the affected Party to this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 The Company shall pay, when due and payable, the reasonable and documented costs and expenses of a single counsel to Vestar, Latham & Watkins LLP, in an amount not to exceed $350,000.  All such reasonable and documented fees, expenses and reimbursements incurred up to the Petition Date or the commencement date of the out-of-court exchange offer shall be paid in full prior to such date (without deducting any retainers).  This Section may not be amended without the consent of the affected Party to this Agreement.

 

15.                               No Solicitation.  To the extent the Company pursues the Recapitalization through the Chapter 11 Cases, this Agreement is not and shall not be deemed to be a solicitation of votes for the acceptance of the Plan (or any other plan of reorganization) for the purposes of sections 1125 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

 

16.                               Ownership of Subordinated Noteholder Claims.  Each of Consenting Subordinated Noteholder represents and warrants (severally and not jointly) that:

 

(a)                                 as of the date of this Agreement, it is the beneficial owner of the principal amount of the Subordinated Noteholder Claims, or is the nominee, investment manager or advisor for beneficial holders of the Subordinated Noteholder Claims, as set forth on the signature page for each Consenting Subordinated Noteholder; provided, however, that the information contained therein shall be maintained as confidential by the Company and the Company’s financial advisors and legal counsel, except to the extent otherwise required by law or any rule or

 

14



 

regulation of any exchange or regulatory authority, subject to the disclosure obligations set forth in Section 33 of this Agreement; and

 

(b)                                 other than pursuant to this Agreement, such Subordinated Noteholder Claims, are free and clear of any pledge, lien, security interest, charge, claim, equity, option, proxy, voting restriction, right of first refusal or other limitation on disposition or encumbrances of any kind, that might adversely affect in any way such Consenting Subordinated Noteholder’s performance of its obligations contained in this Agreement at the time such obligations are required to be performed.

 

17.                               Vestar Ownership of Securities.  Each of the entities comprising Vestar represents and warrants severally and not jointly that:

 

(a)                                 as of the date of this Agreement, it is the beneficial owner of the Securities set forth on the signature page for each Vestar entity, or is the nominee, investment manager or advisor for such Securities; provided, however, that the information contained therein shall be maintained as confidential by the Parties and the Parties’ financial advisors and legal counsel, except to the extent otherwise required by law or any rule or regulation of any exchange or regulatory authority, subject to the disclosure obligations set forth in Section 33 of this Agreement; and

 

(b)                                 other than pursuant to this Agreement, such Securities are free and clear of any pledge, lien, security interest, charge, claim, equity, option, proxy, voting restriction, right of first refusal or other limitation on disposition or encumbrances of any kind, that might adversely affect in any way such Vestar entities’ performance of its obligations contained in this Agreement at the time such obligations are required to be performed.

 

18.                               Representations.

 

(a)                           Each Party represents to each other Party that, as of the date of this Agreement:

 

(i) it has all requisite corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar authority to enter into this Agreement and carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and perform its obligations hereunder, and the execution, delivery and performance of such Party’s obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability, or similar action on its part;

 

(ii) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Party does not and shall not (x) violate any provision of law, rule or regulation applicable to it or any of its subsidiaries or its organizational documents or those of any of its subsidiaries or (y) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any material contractual obligations to which it or any of its subsidiaries is a party or under its organizational documents;

 

(iii) the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement does not and shall not require any registration or filing with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action to, with or by, any federal, state or other governmental authority or regulatory body, except such filing as may be necessary and/or required for disclosure by the Securities and

 

15



 

Exchange Commission or pursuant to state securities or “blue sky” laws, and the approval by the Bankruptcy Court of the Company’s authority to enter into and implement this Agreement; and

 

(iv) subject to the provisions of sections 1125 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, this Agreement is the legally valid and binding obligation of such Party, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws, both foreign and domestic, relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability; provided, however, that this Agreement is being executed in connection with negotiations concerning a possible financial recapitalization of the Company and in contemplation of possible Chapter 11 Case filings by the Company, and it is intended that, subject to sections 1125 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, this Agreement shall be fully enforceable in accordance with its terms during such Chapter 11 Cases.

 

(b)                                 Each Consenting Subordinated Noteholder represents to the Company that such Consenting Subordinated Noteholder, in entering into this Agreement and undertaking its obligations hereunder, is acting independently and is not acting, directly or indirectly, through contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise with any other holder of Subordinated Notes.

 

(c)                                  Vestar represents to the Consenting Subordinated Noteholders that attached to this Agreement as Exhibit D are true and exact copies of the Investments LLC Agreement and the Investments Securityholders Agreement in effect as of the date hereof.

 

19.                               Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, including the exhibits, schedules and annexes hereto constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersedes all other prior negotiations, agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

 

20.                               Waiver.  This Agreement and the Recapitalization Term Sheet are part of a proposed settlement of a dispute among the Parties. If the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are or are not consummated, or following the occurrence of the Termination Date, if applicable, nothing shall be construed by this Agreement as a waiver by any Party of any or all of such Party’s rights and the Parties expressly reserve any and all of their respective rights.  Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and any other applicable rules of evidence, this Agreement and all negotiations relating hereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce its terms.

 

21.                               Company Fiduciary Duties.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to the next three sentences of this Section 21, nothing in this Agreement shall require the Company or its subsidiaries or any of its or their respective directors or officers (solely in such person’s capacity as a director or officer) to take any action, or to refrain from taking any action, to the extent that taking such action or refraining from taking such action would be inconsistent with such party’s fiduciary obligations under applicable law, and for the avoidance of doubt, Vestar shall not be in breach hereunder as a result of such action or restraint from taking such action.  The Company and Vestar agree that to the extent the Company’s obligations under Section 2 hereof are subject to its fiduciary obligations, those fiduciary

 

16



 

obligations shall not include any fiduciary obligations to Vestar in its capacity as equityholder of Investments.  In the event the Company does not receive a Letter of Intent reasonably acceptable to the Required Consenting Subordinated Noteholders (subject to Section 2(b)) by August 31, 2014 or a Capital Contribution by October 1, 2014, then notwithstanding any fiduciary duty the Company may have to consider unsolicited proposals, the Company agrees that it shall not, and shall not have an obligation to directly or indirectly solicit alternative equity investment proposals.  Vestar hereby waives any fiduciary obligations that the Company may have to it to the extent such fiduciary obligation conflicts with the Company’s obligations under this Agreement.

 

22.                               Cooperation and Support.    The Parties shall cooperate with each other in good faith and shall coordinate their activities (to the extent possible and subject to the terms of this Agreement) in respect of (i) all matters relating to their rights hereunder in respect of the Company or otherwise in connection with their relationship with the Company, and (ii) the consummation of the Recapitalization, including without limitation and in the Required Consenting Subordinated Noteholders’ discretion voting in favor of any required amendment to the Subordinated Notes Indenture to implement the Capital Contribution (if obtained); provided, that such amendment shall not provide for payment of any cash or a maturity date, in each case, prior to the maturity date of the Subordinated Notes, or any other terms that would have an adverse effect on the rights, claims and recoveries of the Subordinated Noteholders.  Furthermore, subject to the terms of this Agreement, each of the Parties shall take such action as reasonably may be necessary to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement, including making and filing any required regulatory filings and voting any claims or securities of the Company in favor of the Recapitalization in connection therewith, and shall refrain from taking any action that would frustrate the purposes and intent of this Agreement.  In addition, to the extent the Company pursues the Recapitalization through the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to provide draft copies of all Plan Related Documents, “first day” motions or applications and other documents the Company intends to file with the Bankruptcy Court to counsel to the Consenting Subordinated Noteholders at least three business days prior to the date when the Company intends to file such document and shall consult in good faith with such counsel regarding the form and substance of any such proposed filing; provided, however, the Company will not be in breach of this provision by failing to provide to the Consenting Subordinated Noteholders drafts of motions or pleadings that seek emergency or expedited relief.

 

23.                               Representation by Counsel.  Each Party hereto acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel (or had the opportunity to and waived its right to do so) in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would provide any Party hereto with a defense to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement against such Party based upon lack of legal counsel shall have no application and is expressly waived.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a reasonable manner to effect the intent of the Parties hereto.  None of the Parties hereto shall have any term or provision construed against such Party solely by reason of such Party having drafted the same.

 

24.                               Independent Due Diligence and Decision-Making.  Each Consenting Subordinated Noteholder hereby confirms that its decision to execute this Agreement has been

 

17



 

based upon its independent investigation of the operations, businesses, financial and other conditions and prospects of the Company.

 

25.                               Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall constitute the same instrument and the counterparts may be delivered by facsimile transmission or by electronic mail in portable document format (.pdf).

 

26.                               Amendments.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this Agreement (including the Recapitalization Term Sheet) may not be modified, amended or supplemented without prior written consent of the Company, Vestar and the Required Consenting Subordinated Noteholders.

 

27.                               Headings.  The headings of the sections, paragraphs and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

 

28.                               Specific Performance.  It is understood and agreed by the Parties that money damages would be an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any Party and each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy of any such breach, including, without limitation, an order of the Bankruptcy Court or other court of competent jurisdiction requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that each Party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of a bond in connection with such remedy.

 

29.                               Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to such state’s choice of law provisions that would require the application of the law of any other jurisdiction. By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally agrees for itself that any legal action, suit or proceeding against it with respect to any matter arising under or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such action, suit or proceeding, may be brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in the County of New York, and by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Parties irrevocably accepts and submits itself to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, generally and unconditionally, with respect to any such action, suit or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing consent to New York jurisdiction, if the Chapter 11 Cases are commenced, each Party agrees that the Bankruptcy Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction of all matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.

 

30.                               Notices.  All notices, requests and other communications hereunder must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given only if delivered personally, by email, courier, by facsimile transmission or mailed (first class postage prepaid) to the parties at the following addresses, emails or facsimile numbers:

Overview of Recapitalization

 

The Company will either (i) obtain additional liquidity through (A) an equity contribution in Investments or Holdings or (B) debt incurred by Holdings in an amount no less than $150

 

2



 

 

 

million on or before October 1, 2014 (the “Capital Contribution”); provided, however, that (x) such Capital Contribution shall not provide for any cash payments due before the maturity date of the Subordinated Notes and shall not mature before the maturity date of the Subordinated Notes and (y) any Capital Contribution comprising debt shall be unsecured, subordinated to the Subordinated Notes, and shall not be guaranteed by any of the Company or its Affiliates or Subsidiaries; or (ii) in the event that the Company fails to obtain a Capital Contribution as described in clause (i), use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the Recapitalization, consistent with the material terms and conditions described in this Term Sheet and the Recapitalization Support Agreement.

 

If the Company and Vestar fail to obtain a signed letter of intent for a Capital Contribution reasonably acceptable to the Required Consenting Subordinated Noteholders (it being understood that the Required Consenting Subordinated Noteholders shall not have consent rights over the economic terms of the Capital Contribution so long as (x) such Capital Contribution shall not provide for any cash payments due before the maturity date of the Subordinated Notes and shall not mature before the maturity date of the Subordinated Notes and (y) any Capital Contribution comprising debt shall be unsecured, subordinated to the Subordinated Notes, and shall not be guaranteed by any of the Company or its Affiliates or Subsidiaries) on or before August 31, 2014, the Company shall refrain from pursuing the Capital Contribution further and shall pursue the Recapitalization to the exclusion of the Capital Contribution.

 

Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, upon the effectiveness of the Recapitalization, the claims of the holders of Subordinated Notes shall be exchanged for 95% (the “Noteholder Percentage”) of new equity interests in reorganized Investments (the “New Equity”). The Noteholder Percentage shall be subject to dilution pursuant to the Management Incentive Plan and New Warrants (each as defined below).

 

 

 

Treatment of Existing Equity Holders

 

Upon the exchange by holders of 100% of the Subordinated Notes Claims for New Equity and the effectiveness of the Recapitalization, Existing Equity Holders shall receive on a pro rata basis (i) 5.0% of the New Equity subject to dilution pursuant to the Management Incentive Plan (as defined below) and (ii) warrants (the “New Warrants”) providing the right to acquire 10% of the New Equity at an exercise price corresponding to the principal amount of the Subordinated Notes outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest as of the effective date of the Recapitalization. The New Warrants shall

 

3



 

 

 

expire four (4) years after the effective date of the Recapitalization. The exercise price of the New Warrants will reflect dilution for the equity interests to be issued under the Management Incentive Plan (i.e., such that when this Term Sheet provides that the holders of Subordinated Notes Claims will receive a recovery in New Equity of 100% of principal amount outstanding under the Subordinated Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest this will reflect dilution from the equity interests issued pursuant to the Management Incentive Plan).

 

If the holders of Subordinated Notes Claims agree to exchange less than 100% of such claims for New Equity, the distribution to the holders of Subordinated Notes will be adjusted in a manner mutually agreeable to the Company, Vestar and the Required Consenting Subordinated Noteholders. The acceptable percentage of “hold-outs” and the form of recapitalization will be mutually determined.

 

 

 

Tax/Business Considerations

 

The parties to the Recapitalization Support Agreement shall use good faith efforts to structure the Recapitalization and the transactions contemplated herein and in the Recapitalization Support Agreement to the maximum extent possible in a tax-efficient and cost-effective manner for the Company and Vestar.

 

 

 

Board of Reorganized Company

 

One board member shall be appointed by Vestar.

 

 

 

Management Incentive Plan

 

A new management equity incentive plan (the “Management Incentive Plan”) to be agreed upon acceptable to the Company and the Required Consenting Subordinated Noteholders.

 

 

 

Releases

 

Customary releases to be mutually agreed upon.

ADDENDUM TO ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT

 

This Addendum (the “Addendum”) is entered into effective as of July 1, 2014, by and between NORTH CAROLINA RADIATION THERAPY MANAGEMENT SERVICES, LLC., a North Carolina limited liability company (“MANAGEMENT SERVICES”) and RADIATION THERAPY ASSOCIATES OF WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA, P.A., a North Carolina professional corporation (the “PA”). This Addendum amends Section 3.1 of the Administrative Services Agreement dated January 1, 2002 between the parties (the “Agreement”) to adjust the monthly Service Fee payable at the rate of $550.00 per external beam treatment billed as paid in 2014 to a monthly Service Fee payable at the rate of $625.00 per external beam treatment billed (currently CPT codes 77372, 77373, 77401 – 77416, 77418 and 77781-77784) and replaces the Addendum of that same Section dated January 1, 2014.

From and after the date hereof, Section 3.1 shall read as follows:

 

3.1. Service Fee.   For the services to be provided hereunder by MANAGEMENT SERVICES, the PC shall pay to MANAGEMENT SERVICES a monthly Service Fee at the rate of $625.00 per external beam treatment billed (currently CPT codes 77372, 77373, 77401 – 77416, 77418 and 77781-77784). The parties agree that the Service Fee represents the fair market value of the services provided by MANAGEMENT SERVICES hereunder and that the parties shall meet annually to reevaluate the value of services provided by MANAGEMENT SERVICES and shall establish the fair market value thereof for purposes of this Section 3.1.
