NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

The parties acknowledge that Medical Center may not be able to perform Procedures for approximately one (1) month during the Icon Upgrade and Reload. Until such time as the Perfexion is no longer able to perform Procedures due to the Icon Upgrade and Reload, Medical Center shall continue to perform Procedures using the Perfexion. Upon completion of the Icon Upgrade and Reload, all references in the Agreement to the Equipment shall be deemed to refer to the Icon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Amendment, GKF makes no representation or warranty to Medical Center concerning the Icon Upgrade and Reload, and GKF shall have no obligation or liability to pay any damages to Medical Center resulting from the Medical Center’s inability to perform Procedures during the time required for the Icon Upgrade and Reload, including, without limitation, any lost revenues or profits during the period of time that the Equipment is unavailable to perform Procedures during the Icon Upgrade and Reload.

[*****][*****]
                    
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, for purposes of determining the Purchased Services Payments, the number of annual Procedures performed shall be reset to zero (0) at the commencement of each anniversary of the First Procedure Date after the Icon Upgrade and Reload has been completed.

For Procedure count purposes, any patient treatment provided on a fractionated basis shall count as one (1) Procedure. Charity cases shall not be included in the annual Procedures performed count.

Charity Cases

As a means to support Medical Center’s mission of providing charity care for persons who require Gamma Knife procedures who are not covered by Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, Ohio’s Hospital Care Assurance Program, or private insurance programs (whether indemnity, preferred provider, health maintenance organization, etc.) and who do not have the means to pay for such procedures based on Medical Centers adopted standards of indigency, GKF agrees that Medical Center may perform Procedures on a charity or unreimbursed basis so long as no such charity or unreimbursed Procedures are counted towards the number of annual paid Procedures performed for purposes of determining the Purchased Services Payments due hereunder. Medical Center shall be solely responsible (and GKF shall not in any manner be or become responsible) for determining whether any person meets the standards of indigency. Medical Center shall provide reasonable written documentation evidencing satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein to GKF at or prior to the expected time of treatment.
