13.3         If at any time on or after the date that is three (3) years after the First Procedure Date (the “Three Year Date”), the Equipment becomes obsolete (as determined in accordance with Section 13.4 below), GKF agrees to evaluate and propose to Hospital the option of an upgrade or to replace the existing Equipment. The parties shall cooperate in good faith and use their best efforts to reach an agreement regarding such upgrade or replacement. In the event the upgrade or replacement is agreed upon by Hospital and GKF, the lease term will be extended and/or the rental payments thereunder increased taking into account, among other things, the expense incurred.

Within ten (10) days of such designation, each such designee shall mutually agree upon and designate a third neurosurgeon or radiation oncologist having the same qualifications as described above and who shall have no relationship or medical staff privileges with either Hospital or GKF. The three designated physicians (“Experts”) shall have thirty (30) days, from the date the third neurosurgeon is so designated, within which to determine whether the Equipment is obsolete. The Equipment shall be deemed obsolete if two of the three Experts determine that other equipment is more medically appropriate than the Equipment to perform any Procedures. Any determination of obsolescence must be in writing and must be signed two of the three Experts and distributed to the parties pursuant to the Notice provisions in Section 24.14 herein. Unless at least two Experts agree that the Equipment is obsolete, the Equipment shall not be deemed to be obsolete, and the party requesting the determination shall be required to promptly reimburse the other party for any costs or expenses incurred by the other party in connection with such determination.

Hospital shall exercise one (1) of the two (2) options referred to above by giving an irrevocable written notice thereof to GKF at least nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term. Any such notice shall be sufficient if it states in substance that Hospital elects to exercise its option and states which of the two (2) options referred to above Hospital is exercising. If Hospital fails to exercise the option granted herein at least nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term, the option shall lapse and this Agreement shall expire as of the end of the initial Term. Further, if Hospital exercises the option specified in Section 19.1 above and the parties are unable to mutually agree upon the length of the extension of the Term or any other terms or conditions applicable to such extension prior to the expiration of the Term, this Agreement shall expire as of the end of the initial Term.

20.          Events of Default by Hospital and Remedies.

20.1         The occurrence of any one of the following shall constitute an event of default under this Agreement (an “Event of Default”):

20.1.1           Hospital fails to pay any rent payment when due pursuant to Paragraph 8 above and such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof is given by GKF or its assignee to Hospital; however, if Hospital cures the rent payment default within the applicable thirty (30) day period, such default shall not constitute an Event of Default.

20.1.2            Hospital attempts to remove, sell, transfer, encumber, assign, sublet or part with possession of the Equipment or any items thereof, except as expressly permitted herein.

20.1.3           Hospital fails to observe or perform any of its covenants, duties or obligations arising under this Agreement or the LGK Agreement and such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by GKF to Hospital; however, if Hospital cures the default within the applicable thirty (30) day period or if the default reasonably requires more than thirty (30) days to cure, Hospital commences to cure the default during the initial thirty (30) day period and Hospital diligently completes the cure as soon as reasonably possible following the end of the thirty (30) day period, such default shall not constitute an Event of Default.

20.2.2           Recover from Hospital as liquidated damages for the loss of the bargain represented by this Agreement and not as a penalty an amount equal to the present value of the unpaid estimated future rent payments to be made by Hospital to GKF through the end of the Term discounted at the rate of nine percent (9%), which liquidated damages shall become immediately due and payable. The unpaid estimated future rent payments shall be based on the prior twelve (12) months rent payments made by Hospital to GKF hereunder with an annual five (5%) percent increase thereof through the end of the Term. Hospital and GKF acknowledge that the liquidated damages formula set forth in this Section 20.2.2 constitutes a reasonable method to calculate GKF’s damages resulting from an Event of Default under the circumstances existing as of the date of this Agreement.

20.3         Upon termination of this Agreement or the exercise of any other rights or remedies under this Agreement or available under applicable law following an Event of Default, Hospital shall, without further request or demand, pay to GKF all rent payments and other sums owing under this Agreement. In the event that Hospital shall pay the liquidated damages referred to in Section 20.2.2 above to GKF, GKF shall pay to Hospital promptly after receipt thereof all rentals or proceeds received from the reletting or sale of the Equipment during the balance of the initial Term (after deduction of all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees and costs, incurred by GKF as a result of the Event of Default), said amount never to exceed the amount of the liquidated damages paid by Hospital. However, Hospital acknowledges that GKF shall have no obligation to sell the Equipment. Hospital shall in any event remain fully liable for all damages as may be provided by law and for all costs and expenses incurred by GKF on account of such default, including but not limited to, all court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. The rights and remedies afforded GKF under this Agreement shall be deemed cumulative and not exclusive, and shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies to GKF provided by law or in equity.

(c)          Within sixty (60) days after the commencement of any proceedings against GKF seeking reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, such proceedings shall not have been dismissed, or if within thirty (30) days after the appointment without GKF’s consent or acquiescence of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of it or of all or any substantial part of its assets and properties, such appointment shall not be vacated.

21.2         Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to GKF, Hospital may at its option do any or all of the following:

(a)          By written notice to GKF, immediately terminate this Agreement as to the Equipment and, in such event, GKF shall remove the Equipment at GKF’s sole cost and expense.

(b)          Seek to recover from GKF such loss as may be realized by Hospital in the ordinary course of events as a result of the Event of Default.

21.3         In addition to the foregoing remedies, GKF shall be liable to Hospital for all reasonable attorneys fees, costs and expenses incurred by Hospital as a result of the Event of Default or the exercise of Hospital’s remedies. The rights and remedies afforded Hospital under this Agreement shall be deemed cumulative and not exclusive, and shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies to Hospital provided by law or in equity.

Hospital shall be named as an additional insured party on the all risk property and casualty insurance policy to the extent of its interest in the Equipment arising under this Agreement.

23.1         By Hospital.

23.2         By GKF. GKF shall be liable for and shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold Hospital and its members, managers, officers, directors, employees, agents and contractors (collectively “Hospital”) harmless from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, assessments, deficiencies, actions, proceedings, orders, judgments, liens, costs and other expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) of any nature or kind whatsoever asserted against or incurred by Hospital (collectively “Damages”) which in any manner arise out of or relate to (a) the failure by GKF to fully perform, observe or satisfy its covenants, duties or obligations contained in this Agreement; (b) defects in the preparation, construction and improvement of the Site by GKF or in installation or positioning the Equipment at the Site by GKF; (c) defects arising out of materials or parts provided, modified or designed by GKF for or with respect to the Site; and/or (d) negligent, intentional or wrongful acts or omissions by GKF or any of its officers, directors, agents, contractors (or their subcontractors), or employees in connection with the construction and preparation of the Site. Further, neither the review and approval of Site plans, specifications and/or positioning plans by Hospital and/or Elekta, nor the construction of any other Site preparation, shall relieve GKF for liability for damages to the Equipment caused by the failure to comply with applicable federal, state or local laws or regulations, including building codes, or those portions of the Site Planning Criteria relating to the load bearing capacity of the floor of the treatment room and to radiation protection. If the Equipment is destroyed or rendered unusable, subject to Section 23.7 below, this indemnity shall extend up to (but not exceed) the full replacement value of the Equipment at the time of its destruction less salvage value, if any).

23.3         Upon the occurrence of an event for which either Hospital and/or GKF is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnified party shall give written notice thereof to the indemnifying party setting forth the type and amount of Damages. If the indemnity relates to a Third Party Claim (as defined in Section 23.4 below), the matter shall be subject to Section 23.4 below. If the indemnity relates to any Damages other than a Third Party Claim, not more than thirty (30) days after the indemnified party’s written notice is given, the indemnifying party either shall acknowledge its obligation in writing to the indemnified party to indemnify hereunder and pay the Damages in full to the indemnified party or dispute its obligation to indemnify in a written notice delivered the indemnified party. If the indemnifying party disputes the obligation to indemnify, the parties shall meet and negotiate in good faith to mutually resolve the disagreement regarding indemnification.

23.4         The indemnified party shall give written notice to the indemnifying party as soon as reasonably possible after the indemnified party has knowledge of any third party claim or legal proceedings (“Third Party Claim”) for which the indemnified party is entitled to indemnification under this Section 23. The indemnifying party shall (a) immediately assume, at its sole cost and expense, the defense of the Third Party Claim with legal counsel approved by the indemnified party (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and (b) as soon as reasonably possible after the indemnified party’s written notice is given to the indemnifying party, acknowledge in writing to the indemnified party its obligation to indemnify the indemnified party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If the indemnifying party fails to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim or fails to timely acknowledge in writing its obligation to indemnify the indemnified party, the indemnified party may assume the defense of the Third Party Claim in the manner described in Section 23.5 below. The indemnified party shall cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense of any Third Party Claim. Any settlement or compromise of a Third Party Claim to which the indemnified party is a party shall be subject to the express written approval of the indemnified party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned as long as an unconditional term of the settlement or compromise is the full and absolute release of the indemnified party from all Damages arising out of the Third Party Claim. The indemnified party, at its own cost and expense, may participate on its own behalf with legal counsel of its own selection in the defense of any Third Party Claim which may have a material impact on the indemnified party.

23.5          If the indemnifying party fails to promptly assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, the indemnified party may assume the defense of the Third Party Claim with legal counsel selected by the indemnified party, all at the indemnifying party’s cost and expense. The defense of an action by the indemnified party under this Section 23.5 shall not impair, limit or otherwise restrict the indemnifying party’s indemnification obligations arising under this Section 23 or the indemnified party’s right to enforce such obligations.

23.6          The indemnity obligations under this Section 23 shall expire on the date that is five (5) years following the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

23.7          The indemnification obligations set forth in this Agreement are intended to supplement, and not supersede, supplant or replace, any coverage for Damages which may be available under any insurance policies that may be maintained by GKF or Hospital. In the event any Damages may be covered by insurance policies, the parties shall exercise good faith and use their best efforts to obtain the benefits of and apply the available insurance coverage to the Damages subject to indemnification under this Agreement. In the event that an insurer provides coverage under an insurance policy on the basis of a “reservation of rights”, the indemnification obligations under this Agreement shall apply to all Damages which are finally determined as not being covered under the insurance policy.

24            Miscellaneous.

24.1          Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Hospital shall not assign this Agreement or any of its rights hereunder or sublease the Equipment without the prior written consent of GKF, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however that the Hospital may assign this Agreement without prior written consent of GKF to an entity controlled by, controlling, or under common control with the Hospital and which entity is the holder of the general acute care hospital license for the facility at which the Equipment is located, and provided further, that such entity shall have credit rating and financial position equivalent to that of Hospital as reasonably determined by GKF.
