Subject to scheduling availability, GKF shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to perform the Reload in the first quarter of 2012; provided that the Reload shall be performed only after all necessary and appropriate licenses, permits, approvals, consents and authorizations, including, without limitation, the proper handling of the cobalt-60 (collectively, the “Permits”), have been obtained by Hospital at Hospital’s sole cost and expense (other than any filing, registration or licensing fees which shall be paid 50% by GKF and 50% by Hospital).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Addendum, GKF makes no representation or warranty to Hospital concerning the Reload, and GKF shall have no obligation or liability to pay any damages to Hospital resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any lost revenues or profits during the period of time that the Equipment is unavailable to perform procedures due to the Reload process.
