Exhibit 10.1
REVOLVING CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
     Section 1. Introduction.
     THIS REVOLVING CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into this 26th day of September, 2007 by and between PRESIDENTIAL HEALTHCARE CREDIT CORPORATION (“PHCC”) and ARCADIA PRODUCTS, INC., a Delaware corporation, ARCADIA HOME HEALTH PRODUCTS, INC., a Delaware corporation, LOVELL MEDICAL SUPPLY, INC., a North Carolina corporation, O2 PLUS, a California corporation, ARCADIA HOME MIDEAST, INC., a Delaware corporation, BEACON RESPIRATORY SERVICES OF ALABAMA, INC., a Delaware corporation, BEACON RESPIRATORY SERVICES OF GEORGIA, INC., a Delaware corporation, AMERICAN OXYGEN AND MEDICAL EQUIPMENT, INC., an Illinois corporation, ARCADIA HOME OXYGEN AND MEDICAL EQUIPMENT, INC., a Michigan corporation, and TRINITY HEALTHCARE OF WINSTON-SALEM, INC., a Georgia corporation (collectively and jointly and severally, the “Provider”). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Provider wishes to obtain a revolving credit loan from PHCC and PHCC wishes to make a revolving credit loan to the Provider. Capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined, shall have the meanings set forth in Appendix I to this Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed that the chairman, vice-chairman, president, any vice president, treasurer, assistant treasurer, secretary, assistant secretary, member or manager (or any one of them) of any one or more of the Provider is and shall be authorized to request advances for and on behalf of one or more of Provider and each Provider shall be jointly and severally liable for, inter alia, (i) all advances made to or on behalf of any one or more of the Provider and (ii) all other advances and amounts, interest, charges and expenses due under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the related documents.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce PHCC to make the Loan, PHCC and the Provider agree as follows.
     Section 2. Amount and Payment of Loan.
     (a) (i) PHCC agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, to review Advance Requests from the Provider, and to make Advances to the Provider during the period from the date hereof to, but not including, the earlier of (A) the date of termination in whole of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11; and (B) the Scheduled Maturity Date. Amounts borrowed hereunder may be repaid and borrowed again from time to time provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred. The principal amount of the Loan outstanding shall not exceed the Maximum Aggregate Loan Amount at any time.
          (ii) Any determination as to whether there is availability for Advances shall be made by PHCC in its sole discretion and is final and binding upon the

 


 

Provider. Unless otherwise permitted by PHCC, each Advance shall be in an amount of at least $10,000, or an integral multiple thereof. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Provider may request Advances up to and including the value, in U.S. Dollars, of the “Availability Amount” which shall equal (A) eighty-five percent (85%) of the Net Value of Eligible Receivables minus (B) if applicable, amounts reserved pursuant to this Agreement. In addition, if at any time Provider is not entitled to any advances by the terms of this Agreement, PHCC may, in its sole discretion, make requested advances upon the payment of an overadvance fee (an “Overadvance Fee”) in an amount to be determined by PHCC in PHCC’s sole discretion; however, it is expressly acknowledged and agreed that, in such event, PHCC shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decline to make any requested advance and to require any payment required under the terms of the Agreement without prior notice to Provider and the making of any such advances shall not be construed as a waiver of such right by PHCC.
          (iii) If at any time the outstanding balance of the Loan exceeds the lesser of (A) the Availability Amount, or (B) the Maximum Aggregate Loan Amount, then the Provider shall not be entitled to any additional Advances under the Loan while such excess exists and shall immediately remit to PHCC immediately available funds sufficient to eliminate such excess and, if PHCC requests, deliver to PHCC additional collateral of a value and character satisfactory to PHCC.
          (iv) In the event that the availability of the Loan hereunder expires by the terms of this Agreement, or by the terms of any agreement extending the Scheduled Maturity Date of the Loan, PHCC may, in its sole discretion, make requested Advances; however, it is expressly acknowledged and agreed that, in such event, PHCC shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decline to make any requested Advance and may require payment in full of the Loan at any time without prior notice to Provider and the making of any such Advances shall not be construed as a waiver of such right by PHCC.
          (v) PHCC, in its sole credit judgment, may further adjust the Availability Amount based upon the Provider’s actual, recent collection history for each payor class (i.e., Medicare, Medicaid, commercial insurance, etc.) in a manner consistent with PHCC’s underwriting practices and procedures, including, without limitation, PHCC’s review and analysis of, among other things, the Provider’s historical returns, rebates, discounts, credits and allowances. Also, PHCC shall have the right to establish from time to time, in its sole credit judgment, reserves against the Availability Amount, which reserves shall have the effect of reducing the amounts otherwise eligible to be disbursed to the Provider.
          (iv) Advances may be made by PHCC without an Advance Request as hereinafter provided for the payment of interest due and payable on the Loan and Fees and Reimbursable Expenses and for the payment of fees due to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement when such interest and/or fees are due to the extent other moneys have not been made available by Provider to PHCC (or, in the case of fees due Servicer, to Servicer) for such payments and there is sufficient Availability Amount for such Advances.

2


 

     (b) (i) Advances made by PHCC shall be evidenced by, and repayable with interest in accordance with, a single Revolving Variable Rate Note of the Provider payable to the order of PHCC, dated of even date herewith, in the form of Exhibit B hereto (the “Note”). PHCC shall record the date and amount of each Advance made and the date and amount of each payment of principal thereof, and any such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded. PHCC shall, on behalf of the Provider, maintain a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of (i) the names and addresses of PHCC and any assignees of PHCC and (ii) the Commitment of, and the principal amount and interest of the Loans owing to, PHCC or any assignee from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Provider, PHCC, and each assignee of PHCC shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans for all purposes of this Agreement. The Note shall (A) be dated the date of issuance thereof, or, with respect to any amendment thereof, the date of such amendment, (B) mature on the Scheduled Maturity Date and (C) provide for the payment of interest in accordance with Section 2(c)(ii). The aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Note, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon, Fees and Reimbursable Expenses shall be due and payable on the Scheduled Maturity Date.
          (ii) The Provider may, in its discretion, prepay the Loan in whole or in part at any time by paying all or any part of the outstanding principal balance of the Note plus accrued interest and all other Fees and Reimbursable Expenses then due (the “Prepayment Amount”). The Provider shall prepay the Loan in full immediately upon demand of PHCC after the occurrence of an Event of Default by paying the Prepayment Amount.
     (c) (i) Advances shall accrue interest at the rate and in the manner set forth in the Note. The Provider shall make payments of interest and principal as hereinafter described (the “Loan Payments”).
          (ii) Accrued interest shall be due and payable on each Interest Payment Date.
          (iii) Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement, the obligations of the Provider to make the Loan Payments, to make payments of any Fees and Reimbursable Expenses, and to perform and observe the covenants and agreements contained herein shall be absolute and unconditional under all circumstances, without abatement, diminution, deduction, setoff or defense for any reason. Except as otherwise may be expressly provided by this Agreement, the Provider shall make all such payments when due and shall not withhold any Loan Payments or other payments due under the Provider Agreements pending final resolution of any dispute with PHCC, nor shall the Provider assert any right of setoff or counterclaim against its obligation to make any such payments required under the Provider Agreements.
          (iv) Regardless of any provision contained in any of the Loan Documents, in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts that

3


 

are contracted for, charged or received by PHCC pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and that are deemed interest under applicable law exceed the highest rate permissible under applicable law. No agreements, conditions, provisions or stipulations contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the exercise by PHCC of the right to accelerate the payment or the maturity of all or any portion of the Obligations, or the exercise of any option whatsoever contained in any of the Loan Documents, or the prepayment by the Provider of any of the Obligations, or the occurrence of any contingency whatsoever, shall entitle PHCC to charge or receive in any event, interest or any charges, amounts, premiums or fees deemed interest by applicable law (such interest, charges, amounts, premiums and fees referred to herein collectively as “Interest”) in excess of the Maximum Rate and in no event shall the Provider be obligated to pay Interest exceeding such Maximum Rate, and all agreements, conditions or stipulations, if any, which may in any event or contingency whatsoever operate to bind, obligate or compel the Provider to pay Interest exceeding the Maximum Rate shall be without binding force or effect, at law or in equity, to the extent only of the excess of Interest over such Maximum Rate. If any Interest is charged or received in excess of the Maximum Rate (“Excess”), the Provider acknowledges and stipulates that any such charge or receipt shall be the result of an accident and bona fide error, and such Excess, to the extent received, shall be applied first to reduce the principal Obligations and the balance, if any, returned to the Provider, it being the intent of the parties hereto not to enter into a usurious or otherwise illegal relationship. The right to accelerate the maturity of any of the Obligations does not include the right to accelerate any Interest that has not otherwise accrued on the date of such acceleration, and PHCC does not intend to collect any unearned Interest in the event of any such acceleration. Provider recognizes that, with fluctuations in the rates of interest set forth in the Note and the Maximum Rate, such an unintentional result could inadvertently occur. All monies paid to PHCC hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, whether at maturity or by prepayment, shall be subject to any rebate of unearned Interest as and to the extent required by applicable law. By the execution of this Agreement, the Provider covenants that (i) the credit or return of any Excess shall constitute the acceptance by the Provider of such Excess, and (ii) the Provider shall not seek or pursue any other remedy, legal or equitable, against PHCC, based in whole or in part upon contracting for, charging or receiving any Interest in excess of the Maximum Rate. For the purpose of determining whether or not any Excess has been contracted for, charged or received by PHCC, all Interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from the Provider in connection with any of the Loan Documents shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread in equal parts throughout the full term of the Obligations. The Provider and PHCC shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as Interest and (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof. The provisions of this Section 2(c)(iv) shall be deemed to be incorporated into every Loan Document (whether or not any provision of this Section is referred to therein). All such Loan Documents and communications relating to any Interest owed by the Provider and all figures set forth therein shall, for the sole purpose of computing the extent of

4


 

Obligations, be automatically recomputed by the Provider, and by any court considering the same, to give effect to the adjustments or credits required by this Section 2(c)(iv).
     (d) On or before the Closing Date, the Provider shall pay to PHCC a nonrefundable commitment fee in an amount equal to $20,000.00 (“Initial Commitment Fee”).
     (e) All payments and reimbursements to PHCC made under any Provider Agreement shall be free and clear of, and without deduction for, all taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, charges or withholdings and all liabilities with respect thereto of any nature whatsoever, excluding taxes to the extent imposed on PHCC’s net income. If PHCC shall be required by law to deduct any such amounts from or in respect of any sum payable under any Provider Agreement to PHCC, then the sum payable to PHCC shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions, PHCC receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made. Notwithstanding any other provision of any Provider Agreement, if at any time after the Closing Date (i) any change in any existing law, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof, (ii) any new law, regulation, treaty or directive enacted or any interpretation or application thereof, or (iii) compliance by PHCC with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority: (A) subjects PHCC to any tax, levy, impost, deduction, assessment, charge or withholding of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Provider Agreement, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to PHCC of any amount payable thereunder (except for net income taxes, or franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes, imposed generally by federal, state or local taxing authorities with respect to interest, Reimbursable Expenses and Fees payable hereunder or changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of PHCC), or (B) imposes on PHCC any other condition or increased cost in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or participations therein; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to PHCC of making or continuing any Loan or Advance hereunder or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, then, in any such case, the Provider shall promptly pay to PHCC any additional amounts necessary to compensate PHCC, on an after-tax basis, for such additional cost or reduced amount as determined by PHCC. If PHCC becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section it shall promptly notify the Provider of the event by reason of which PHCC has become so entitled, and each such notice of additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by PHCC to the Provider shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes and shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date.
     (f) (i) The Provider will prepare and deliver an Availability Certificate to PHCC by 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day prior to each Advance Day. The Availability Certificate shall identify the aggregate Net Value of all Eligible Receivables pledged to PHCC as Collateral hereunder, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all Reimbursable Expenses and Fees then due, the Availability Amount and such other information regarding Eligible Receivables as is required by the Availability Certificate.

          (ii) Each Advance Request shall be made by the Provider prior to 12:00 p.m. (Central Standard/Daylight Time) on the Advance Day by an Authorized Person by delivery to PHCC with a copy to the Servicer.
          (iii) Upon receipt of the Advance Request and satisfaction of all applicable conditions set forth in this Section 2, PHCC shall disburse the amount of the Advance on the Advance Day by crediting the same to the account of the Provider identified in Exhibit C or such other account as may be designated in writing by an Authorized Person of the Provider.
          (iv) No Advance shall cause the aggregate principal balance outstanding on the Loan to exceed the Maximum Aggregate Loan Amount.

Each Advance Request shall constitute a representation that the above is true and that the statements set forth in Sections 6 and 7 are correct.
     (i) PHCC’s Commitment shall terminate on the Scheduled Maturity Date unless this Agreement is terminated prior thereto.
     Section 3. Servicing of Healthcare Receivables. Healthcare Receivables will be serviced by the Servicer pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement. Under the terms of the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall act as the agent of the Provider, shall service the Healthcare Receivables in accordance with the directions of the Provider and shall, as agent of the Provider, disburse proceeds of the Healthcare Receivables as directed by the Provider under the Servicing Agreement.
     If the Provider determines, for any reason, to terminate or remove the Servicer, the Provider may do so only upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Servicer, with a copy of such notice sent to PHCC, along with (i) a certified copy of the resolution adopted by the governing body of the Provider authorizing and directing that the Servicer be terminated as agent under the Servicing Agreement and (ii) a certificate signed by the Provider and the Servicer evidencing termination of the Servicing Agreement, subject to appointment of a successor to the Servicer as provided below (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not impede the Provider’s ability to change a return address or instructions with respect to Governmental Obligors as contemplated by Section 4(b) or change an automatic transfer instruction as contemplated by Section 4(f)). In addition, if the Servicer is in default under the terms of the Servicing Agreement, PHCC shall have the right to obtain the removal or termination of the Servicer for cause and the right to have the Provider appoint a successor Servicer, subject to the last sentence of this Section.

     (b) The Provider hereby covenants and agrees that, on and after the date hereof, all claims (including CMS 1500 or related insurance billing forms) to be sent to Obligors (and return envelopes, if provided by the Provider) shall set forth only the address of the Lockbox as a return address for payment of Healthcare Receivables and delivery of all EOB/ERAs and only the Lockbox Account as the account into which wire transfers for Collections and payments on Healthcare Receivables shall be deposited. The Provider hereby further covenants and agrees to instruct and notify each of the members of the Provider’s accounting and collections staff, and of the Servicer’s accounting and collection staff, to provide identical information in communications with Obligors with respect to collections, wire transfers and EOB/ERAs on Healthcare Receivables. With respect to Non-Governmental Obligors, the Provider shall not change such return address or the instructions in any Obligor Notice without the express prior written consent of PHCC. With respect to Governmental Obligors, Provider remains free to change such return address and the instructions in any Obligor Notice; provided, however, any such change undertaken by Provider without the express written permission of PHCC shall constitute a breach of this Agreement.
     (c) Unless an Event of Default exists or a court order to the contrary is received, the Provider will retain the right to receipt of Collections and payment of the Healthcare Receivables and all rights to demand or make claims under the applicable Governmental program for any Governmental Receivable to the extent provided under the Servicing Agreement. The Provider shall remit daily to the Servicer all amounts which the Provider receives with respect to the Healthcare Receivables (whether received in the Lockbox, the Lockbox Account, or otherwise, and whether accomplished through the mechanism described in subsection (f) below or otherwise), and shall notify PHCC and the Servicer of all such amounts, including information as to the Healthcare Receivables to which such amounts relate and copies of any related EOB/ERAs. Provider hereby instructs the Servicer to pay all amounts so received on a daily basis to PHCC. PHCC will immediately credit to interest owing hereunder and to any outstanding line of credit balance all such amounts that were received from account debtors which are or were at one time account debtors on Eligible Receivables; provided, however, that in no case shall PHCC be required to credit Provider with the amount of any check or other instrument constituting provisional payment until PHCC has received final payment thereof at its office in cash accepted by PHCC. Unless an Event of Default exists, PHCC (or Servicer on PHCC’s behalf) shall pay to Provider as necessary any such amounts received on a day when the outstanding principal and interest balance on Provider’s line of credit under this Agreement is zero or less than zero.
     (d) If an Obligor makes a payment on a Healthcare Receivable other than to the Lockbox or the Lockbox Account, with respect to wire transfers the Provider shall promptly give written notice thereof to PHCC and the Provider shall take all necessary steps to effect the collection of such payment from any other Person claiming an interest therein or having possession thereof and deliver such to the Servicer together with all necessary endorsements. If the Provider itself shall receive any amounts with respect to a Healthcare Receivable (other than receipts into the Lockbox or the Lockbox Account, which receipts are addressed elsewhere in this Agreement), the Provider shall so notify

10


 

PHCC and the Servicer immediately and shall hold all checks and instruments received in trust for PHCC and shall deliver to Servicer such checks and other instruments duly endorsed to PHCC (or, at the direction of PHCC, the proceeds thereof) without delay or setoff, including information as to the Healthcare Receivable to which such amounts relate and copies of any related EOB/ERAs. The Provider shall cooperate with PHCC and the Servicer in the identification of items deposited in the Lockbox or the Lockbox Account.
     (e) All deliveries and notifications referred to in this Section 4 shall be made promptly upon the Provider’s receipt of any such amount or information and delivery to PHCC and the Servicer thereof shall be no later than midnight Central Time on the day of receipt by the Provider (except with respect to delivery of tangible items, which shall be no later than 5:00 pm CST on the business day after receipt by the Provider).
     (f) Pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, the Provider shall instruct the financial institution holding the Lockbox and the Lockbox Account to transfer, or cause to be transferred, to the account described in the Servicing Agreement, automatically, at the end of each Business Day, all amounts on deposit in the Lockbox Account. No Person, other than the Provider, shall have the right to change or cancel the foregoing automatic transfer instruction; provided, however, that the Provider shall not make such change or cancellation other than pursuant to the Servicing Agreement and as provided in the Addendum to the Servicing Agreement.
     Section 5. Security Interest.
     (a) This Agreement is intended to constitute a security agreement within the meaning of the UCC. As security for the Obligations, the Provider hereby assigns, pledges and grants to PHCC a first priority continuing security interest in all right, title and interest of the Provider in, to and under all of the following, whether now or hereafter owned, existing, created, arising or acquired (collectively, the “Collateral”):

     (iii) the Provider shall default beyond any grace period under any agreement with respect to any debt owed to any party other than PHCC if (i) such default consists of the failure to pay any principal, premium or interest with respect to such debt or (ii) such default consists of the failure to perform any covenant or agreement with respect to such debt, if the effect of such default is to cause or permit such debt to become due prior to its maturity date or prior to its regularly scheduled date of payment;
     (iv) any of the Provider Agreements ceases to be in full force and effect (including, without limitation, the termination or expiration of the Servicing Agreement);

     (b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and at any time thereafter, PHCC may elect (i) to terminate its obligations to make Advances under any Provider Agreement, and such obligations shall immediately terminate, (ii) to declare all outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Loan, together with all outstanding Reimbursable Expenses, Fees, commissions and other expenses under the Provider Agreements, immediately due and payable, and/or (iii) to foreclose on the security interest granted by the Provider in Section 5 of this Agreement to secure amounts due and owing from the Provider, and in all events, the Provider hereby expressly waives notice, demand and presentment with regard thereto.
     Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 9(a)(xii) hereof, all of the Obligations shall become automatically due and payable without declaration, notice or demand by PHCC to or upon the Provider and the Provider’s right to request Advances shall automatically terminate as if terminated by PHCC pursuant to Section 9(b) hereof and with the effects of such a termination by PHCC; provided, however, that, if PHCC shall continue to make Advances or otherwise extend credit to the Provider pursuant to this Agreement after an automatic termination of the Provider’s right to request Advances by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 9(a)(xii) hereof, the Provider acknowledges and agrees that such Advances and other credit shall nevertheless be governed by this Agreement and enforceable against and recoverable from the Provider as if such Event of Default had never occurred.
     (c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and action by PHCC (or automatic acceleration in the case of an occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 9(a)(xii) hereof) pursuant to Section 9(b), PHCC shall have and may exercise all rights provided by the Uniform Commercial Code in any relevant jurisdiction, as amended from time to time, or by any other law of the state where the Provider is “located” as defined by the Uniform Commercial Code of the relevant jurisdiction, as amended from time to time, to the maximum extent provided thereby. PHCC shall be entitled to avail itself of any such rights and remedies as may now or hereafter exist at law or in equity for the enforcement of the covenants herein and the foreclosure of the security interest created hereby and to resort to any remedy provided hereunder or provided by the Uniform Commercial Code of any relevant jurisdiction, or by any other law of any relevant State, shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent employment of any other appropriate remedy or remedies.
     (d) PHCC may remedy any default, without waiving same, or may waive any default without waiving any prior or subsequent default.
     (e) The security interest herein granted shall not be affected by nor affect any other security taken for the indebtedness hereby secured, or any part thereof; and any extensions may be made of PHCC’s rights and such security interest and any releases may be executed or herein conveyed without affecting the priority of such security interest or the validity thereof with reference to any third Person, and the holder of said rights shall not be limited by any election of remedies if he chooses to foreclose this security interest by suit.

30


 

     (f) Any requirement of reasonable notice to the Provider of the time and place of any sale of the Collateral, or any other intended disposition thereof to be made, shall be met if such notice is mailed, postage prepaid, to the Provider at the last known business address of the Provider, as required by law.
     (g) The Provider hereby expressly acknowledges that, the Provider’s breach of any of the other covenants, obligations, representations or warranties contained in any Provider Agreement or any Contract would cause irreparable injury and damage to PHCC in a manner that could not be adequately compensated by monetary damages alone. The parties specifically agree that the breach or threatened breach by the Provider of any Provider Agreement or any Contract could cause PHCC to suffer irreparable injury if injunctive relief is not granted and, therefore, PHCC shall have the right, at its election and in addition to any and all other remedies available to it, upon any such breach or threatened breach, to seek immediate injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, requesting such orders and restraining the Provider from all actions which such court deems necessary to adequately protect PHCC from further damage or injury. In any instance of a breach or threatened breach for which injunctive relief is deemed necessary by PHCC, the Provider hereby waives demand or notice of default and waives the requirements, if any, for posting bond in connection with the granting of injunctive relief.
     Section 10. Indemnity; Payment of Expenses. In the event (a) any of the Provider’s warranties or representations shall prove to be false or misleading; (b) any Obligor in judicial proceedings shall assert against PHCC or any of its officers, employees, directors, managers or agents a claim or defense arising out of any transaction between the Obligor and the Provider; or (c) the Provider or any other person or entity shall assert against PHCC or any of its officers, employees, directors, managers or agents a claim or defense arising out of or relating to any of the Collateral, the Loan or any of the documents executed in connection with the Loan, the Provider agrees to indemnify and hold PHCC harmless from and against any liability, judgment, cost, attorneys’ fees or other expense whatsoever arising therefrom.
     The Provider agrees, on demand, to (a) pay or reimburse PHCC for all Reimbursable Expenses and (b) pay, indemnify, and hold PHCC harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (except with respect to taxes and other amounts governed by Section 2(e) above), with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the Note and the other Provider Agreements (all the foregoing, collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”), provided that the Provider has no obligation hereunder to PHCC with respect to indemnified liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of PHCC.
     Section 11. Term and Termination. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the Scheduled Maturity Date. Any party to this Agreement may, after the expiration of 180 days from the date of this Agreement, terminate this Agreement upon giving to the other at least ninety (90) days’ prior written notice of termination by registered or certified mail given as provided in Section 13(h);

31


 

provided, however, that as a condition precedent to Provider’s termination of this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Term pursuant to the foregoing, Provider shall have paid to PHCC a Prepayment Fee in the following amount: (1) if the effective date of such termination occurs prior to the first anniversary of the effective date of this Agreement, three percent (3%) of the Maximum Aggregate Loan Amount in effect on the effective date of the termination; (2) if the effective date of such termination occurs after the first anniversary but before the second anniversary of the effective date of this Agreement, two percent (2%) of the Maximum Aggregate Loan Amount in effect on the effective date of the termination; and (3) if the effective date of such termination occurs after the second anniversary but before the third anniversary of the effective date of this Agreement, one percent (1%) of the Maximum Aggregate Loan Amount in effect on the effective date of the termination. PHCC shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, by written notice to the Provider, at any time during which an Event of Default hereunder has occurred and is continuing. Termination, however, shall not relieve or discharge the Provider of its duties, obligations or covenants hereunder until all of the Provider’s obligations to PHCC have been satisfied or paid in full, and all of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement and the Provider Agreements shall remain in effect. If, after receipt of any payment of all or any part of the Provider’s obligations hereunder, PHCC is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment to any Person because such payment is determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, this Agreement shall continue in full force and the Provider shall be liable to PHCC for, and shall indemnify and hold PHCC harmless for, the amount of such payment surrendered. The provisions of this Section 11 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by PHCC in reliance upon such payment, and any such contrary action so taken shall be without prejudice to PHCC’s rights under this Agreement and shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment having become final and irrevocable. The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive the termination of the Agreement.
     Section 12. Miscellaneous.
     (a) THE NOTE, THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND ALL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER, INCLUDING MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA, EXCEPT THAT ANY CONFLICT OF LAWS RULE OF SUCH JURISDICTION THAT WOULD REQUIRE REFERENCE TO THE LAWS OF SOME OTHER JURISDICTION SHALL BE DISREGARDED. ANY SUITS, CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS OR INSTRUMENTS BETWEEN PHCC AND PROVIDER RELATING TO SUCH DOCUMENTS (except for the enforcement of an equitable remedy by PHCC under the provisions of Section 9(g)) MAY BE BROUGHT IN A COURT OF APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION IN DEKALB COUNTY, GEORGIA, AND OBJECTIONS TO VENUE AND PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN SUCH FORUM ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVED. THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN NEGOTIATED AND IS BEING

32


 

EXECUTED AND DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA, OR IF EXECUTED BY PROVIDER ELSEWHERE, SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE UPON PHCC’S RECEIPT AND EXECUTION OF THE ORIGINAL OF THIS AGREEMENT IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT PHCC SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO GIVE, NOR SHALL PROVIDER BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE ANY NOTICE OF SUCH RECEIPT AND EXECUTION FOR THIS AGREEMENT TO BECOME A BINDING OBLIGATION OF PROVIDER. IT IS INTENDED, AND PROVIDER AND PHCC SPECIFICALLY AGREE, THAT THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA GOVERNING INTEREST SHALL APPLY TO THIS TRANSACTION. PROVIDER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT PROVIDER UNDERSTANDS, ANTICIPATES, AND FORESEES THAT ANY ACTION FOR ENFORCEMENT OF PAYMENT OF THE LOAN OR THE LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY BE BROUGHT AGAINST IT IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, PROVIDER HEREBY SUBMITS TO JURISDICTION IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA FOR ANY ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN OR THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE OR JURISDICTION TO OBJECT TO JURISDICTION OR VENUE WITHIN DEKALB COUNTY, GEORGIA; NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL PREVENT PHCC FROM BRINGING ANY ACTION OR EXERCISING ANY RIGHTS AGAINST PROVIDER, ANY GUARANTOR, ANY SECURITY FOR THE LOAN, OR ANY OF PROVIDER’S OR ANY GUARANTOR’S PROPERTIES IN ANY OTHER COUNTY, STATE, OR JURISDICTION. INITIATING SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING OR TAKING ANY SUCH ACTION IN ANY OTHER STATE OR JURISDICTION SHALL IN NO EVENT CONSTITUTE A WAIVER BY PHCC OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING.
     To the extent that any rule of procedure or rule of substantive law or statute of any state or regulations of any political subdivision would permit Provider to assert a legal argument that insufficient contacts with the State of Georgia exist to apply the law of the State of Georgia or that the law of another State should apply, the Provider hereby, to the fullest extent permitted by law, waives such rights and agrees not to assert such claims. The failure of the Provider to qualify to do business in the State of Georgia shall not be basis for the Provider to assert that the law of another state, other than Georgia should apply to any dispute. Notwithstanding the above provision for the application of choice-of-law, the parties acknowledge that in regard to the proper application of the Uniform Commercial Code as amended from time to time that the law of the Uniform Commercial Code statutes of another state may be applicable to determine the rights of the parties relative to creditors of the Provider.
     (b) The Provider shall be liable for attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred by PHCC in enforcing its rights hereunder and/or in taking any legal action to settle, collect or defend the Healthcare Receivables or any part thereof or security interest therein, together with interest on unpaid amounts at the maximum rate permitted by law. Attorneys’ fees relating to enforcement and collection by PHCC for which the Provider

33


 

shall be responsible to reimburse PHCC shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the principal and interest owed hereunder at the time of commencement of collection activities.
     (c) This Agreement, and the Exhibits and Appendices attached hereto from time to time, set forth the complete and entire understanding between the Provider and PHCC as to the terms hereof. Such Agreement shall only be modified by a written instrument signed by all parties to be bound thereby.
     (d) Failure or delay by PHCC in exercising any right hereunder shall not waive the later assertion of that right nor waive the Provider’s future performance.
     (e) PHCC shall at all times have access to the Provider’s financial records to the extent necessary to protect PHCC’s position hereunder and/or its interest in the Collateral. The Provider shall furnish all financial data to PHCC, immediately upon request for such from PHCC, and from time to time; such financial data to include, but not be limited to, receipts for all required tax payments, proof of payment of all insurance including workers’ compensation payments, proof of payment of all current payables, Medicare cost reports, Medicare cost report settlement statements and applicable state compliance information.
     (f) All rights of PHCC against the Provider, in the event of the nonperformance or breach by the Provider or the Servicer, shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
     (g) This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their legal representatives, heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns.
     (h) Any notice to be given hereunder shall be sufficient if in writing and personally delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, by U.S. registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the parties’ addresses as set forth below. Notice shall be deemed given two Business Days following dispatch as set forth above.
     (i) The representations and warranties made by the Provider shall be true on the date of execution of this Agreement and the Provider shall reaffirm the truth of the representations and warranties on each day thereafter during the term of this Agreement. The representations and warranties made by the Provider shall survive the termination of this Agreement until the expiration of the statute of limitations period applicable to the claims that may be asserted against the Provider or the assets of the Provider.
     (j) In no event shall this Agreement be interpreted or enforced to contract for, charge or authorize receipt of any interest in excess of the maximum nonusurious rate of interest chargeable under applicable law in regard to which no claim or defense of usury could successfully be asserted. Any amount determined by a court of proper jurisdiction as usurious interest shall be deemed a mistake and shall be refunded to the payor or credited to authorized amounts owed by such payor to PHCC. Provided that nothing

34


 

hereinabove shall limit any fees or expenses payable to PHCC where such do not constitute “interest.”
     (k) The Provider Agreements and the interest of the Provider in the Collateral may not be sold, assumed, assigned or encumbered (except as provided in this Agreement) by the Provider. This Agreement, the Note and any and all of the Loan Documents may be assigned in whole or in part by PHCC without the consent of the Provider. The Provider understands that PHCC may from time to time enter into a participation agreement or agreements with one or more participants pursuant to which each such participant shall be given a participation in the Loan and that any such participant may from time to time similarly grant to one or more sub-participants sub-participations in the Loan. The Provider agrees that, to the extent provided under the participation agreements, any participant or sub-participant may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien or set-off with respect to the Provider, as fully as if such participant or sub-participant had made the Loan directly to the Provider in the amount of the participation or sub-participation given to such participant or sub-participant in the Loan. For the purposes of this Section 12(k) only, the Provider shall be deemed to be directly obligated to each participant or sub-participant in the amount of its participating interest in the amount of the Loan and any other indebtedness arising under the Loan and the Loan Documents. PHCC may divulge to any participant or sub-participant all information, reports, financial statements, certificates and documents obtained by it from the Provider or any other person under any provision of this Agreement or otherwise.
Executed to be effective this 26th day of September, 2007.

(the “Guarantor”), whose address is 26777 Central Park Blvd., Suite 200, Southfield, MI 48076 in favor of Presidential HealthCare Credit Corporation (“Payee”).

This Guaranty is one of payment and not of collection.
     2. Guaranty Continuing; Revocation. This is a continuing Guaranty relating to Obligations, including those arising under successive transactions which shall either continue the Obligations or from time to time renew any of the same. This Guaranty shall remain in effect until the expiration of thirty (30) days after Payee’s receipt of written notice of revocation by Guarantor and even then and thereafter, this Guaranty shall be and remain effective as to (a) all Obligations then outstanding; (b) any Obligations incurred or arising subsequent thereto pursuant to any agreements or arrangements between Company and Payee in effect at the time of Payee’s receipt of notice of revocation; (c) any renewals or extensions of any of the foregoing; and (d) all expenses and costs of collecting or enforcing any of the foregoing.

44


 

     3. Guarantor’s Obligations Independent; Statute of Limitations. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Company, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor whether action is brought against Company or whether Company is joined in any such action or actions. Guarantor waives the benefit of any statute of limitations, and all other defenses affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof.
     4. No Conditions Precedent. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be and remain unaffected (a) by the existence or non-existence, validity or invalidity of any security; or (b) by any understanding or agreement that any other person, firm or corporation was or is to execute this or any other Guaranty, or any other document or instrument relating to or evidencing any Obligation(s), or any part thereof, or (c) by resort by Payee or failure by Payee to resort to or enforce any other security or remedy relating to the Obligations; or (d) by the dissolution, death or bankruptcy of any party, or by failure of the Payee to file claim against any estate.
     5. Authorization to Renew or Modify Obligations. Guarantor authorizes Payee, without notice or demand and without affecting its liability hereunder, from time to time to (a) renew, compromise, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of, any Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement or arrangement related to any of the foregoing; (b) take and hold security for the payment of this Guaranty or the Obligations guaranteed, and exchange, modify, enforce, waive and release any such security; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Payee in its discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute any one or more of the obligors, endorsers or guarantors of the Obligations.
     6. Guarantor’s Representations and Warranties. Guarantor represents and warrants to Payee the following: (a) has full power and authority to make and deliver this Guaranty; and (b) the execution, delivery and performance of the Guaranty by Guarantor does not and will not violate any presently applicable laws or any agreement presently binding on it. In addition, if Guarantor is a corporation or other legal entity, Guarantor represents and warrants to Payee the following: (c) the Guarantor (if a corporation or other legal entity) is duly organized and existing in good standing; (d) the execution, delivery and performance of the Guaranty by Guarantor has been duly authorized by all necessary action of its board of directors and does not and will not violate the provision of, or constitute a default under, Guarantor’s organizational documents; and (e) this Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by the authorized officers of the Guarantor and constitutes its lawful, binding, and legally enforceable obligation.
     7. Waivers. Guarantor waives any right to require Payee to (a) proceed against Company; (b) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Company; or (c) pursue any other remedy in Payee’s power whatsoever. Guarantor waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of Company or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Company. Until all Obligations have been paid or satisfied in full to Payee, Guarantor waives all rights of subrogation and contribution, and waives any right to enforce any remedy which Payee now has or may hereafter have against Company, and waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Payee. Guarantor waives all presentments, suretyship defenses, demands for performance, notices of

45


 

non-performance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, and notices of acceptance of this Guaranty and of the existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional Obligations.
     8. Expenses of Collection. Notwithstanding the limitations in Section 2 hereof, Guarantor agrees to pay reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other costs and expenses which may be incurred by Payee in the enforcement of this Guaranty.
     9. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Guaranty and the rights and obligations of any party hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia. Guarantor agrees that it is foreseeable that Guarantor shall be subject to and Guarantor hereby submits to jurisdiction in the State of Georgia for any cause of action related to this Guaranty and agrees that venue for such action shall be in DeKalb County, Georgia. Guarantor waives any and all rights under the laws of any state or jurisdiction to object to venue or jurisdiction within DeKalb County, Georgia. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this section shall prevent Payee from bringing any action or exercising any rights in any other jurisdiction against Guarantor, or any of Guarantor’s properties. Initiating any such action or proceedings or taking any such action in any other jurisdiction shall in no event constitute a waiver by Payee of any of the foregoing.
     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Guaranty as of the 26th day of September, 2007.

EXHIBIT B
FORM OF REVOLVING VARIABLE RATE NOTE
     
Commitment [$     ]   Effective: [          ], 200[  ]
    Tucker, Georgia
     This Revolving Variable Rate Note (this “Note”) is issued pursuant to and is governed by that certain Revolving Credit and Security Agreement dated as of [          ], 200[  ] by and between Borrower and PHCC (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”). All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as given them in the Loan Agreement.
     On [          ], 200[  ] (the “Scheduled Maturity Date”), and for value received, the undersigned (“Borrower”) promises to pay to the order of Presidential HealthCare Credit Corporation at Tucker, Georgia (with its successors and assigns, “PHCC”), or any other place designated at any time by the holder hereof, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the principal sum of [$COMMITMENT AMOUNT], or so much thereof as is disbursed and remains outstanding hereunder on such date, as shown by PHCC’s Register or on the reverse side hereof, as the case may be, together with interest (computed on the basis of actual days elapsed in a 360-day year) on the unpaid balance hereof as it varies from time to time from the date hereof until this Note is fully paid. The failure to record, or any error in recording, any of the foregoing shall not, however, affect the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Agreement, as defined herein below, and this Note to repay the principal amount advanced hereunder together with all interest accruing thereon. The Register as maintained by PHCC shall constitute prima facie evidence of the amount outstanding under this Note absent manifest error.
     Borrower further promises to pay interest on each Interest Payment Date on the unpaid principal balance outstanding from time to time on this Note and until the Scheduled Maturity Date at a rate per annum equal to the [Prime Rate as published in The Wall Street Journal] on the date of such determination, plus [___ basis points (      %)], such rate to change simultaneously with any change in the Prime Rate. The Prime Rate on the date hereof is ___% per annum and, therefore, the rate of interest in effect hereunder on the date hereof, expressed in simple interest terms, is ___% per annum (the “Initial Rate”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the variable interest rate or rates provided for in this Note will never be less than the Initial Rate.
     In no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement of the proceeds hereof or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to PHCC for the use, forbearance or detention of money advanced hereunder exceed the highest lawful rate permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto; and, in the event of any such payment inadvertently paid by Borrower or inadvertently received by PHCC, such excess sum shall be, at Borrower’s option, returned to Borrower forthwith or credited as a payment of principal, but shall not be applied to the payment of interest. It is the intent hereof that Borrower not pay or contract to pay, and that PHCC not receive or contract to

 


 

receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by Borrower under applicable law.
     Borrower may at any time, without penalty, and in its discretion, prepay all or any part of the outstanding principal balance together with all accrued interest and all other Fees and Reimbursable Expenses then due under the Provider Agreements. Borrower shall immediately pay the Prepayment Amount in full upon demand of PHCC after the occurrence of an Event of Default.
     If an Event of Default occurs, the unpaid principal and interest due on this Note at maturity (whether this Note matures by acceleration or the lapse of time) shall bear interest until paid at the rate of the lesser of [3%] per annum in excess of the rate stated above which is applicable to the principal balance outstanding or the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law (the “Default Rate”), and Borrower shall be obligated to pay the same promptly following receipt of PHCC’s written invoice therefor.
     If principal or interest hereon is not paid when due, or if any other indebtedness of the undersigned to PHCC is not paid when due, or an Event of Default occurs under the Loan Agreement, or if the holder hereof shall at any time in good faith believe that the prospect of due and punctual payment of this Note is impaired, then, in any such event, the holder hereof may, at its option, declare this Note to be immediately due and payable and thereupon this Note shall be immediately due and payable, together with all unpaid interest accrued hereon and all Fees and Reimbursable Expenses, without notice or demand, in accordance with Section 10 of the Loan Agreement. If this Note is due (whether at maturity, upon acceleration or upon demand as specified above), PHCC shall also have the right to set off the indebtedness evidenced by this Note against any indebtedness of PHCC to the undersigned.
     This Note is the Note referred to in the Loan Agreement and is secured by the Collateral described in the Loan Agreement, reference to which is made for the purpose of information on the limitations on the availability of Advances, the amount of Advances under this Note and on the rights and remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.
     The undersigned agrees to pay all costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, reasonably incurred by the holder hereof in the event this Note is not duly paid as more fully set forth in the Loan Agreement. The holder hereof may at any time renew this Note or extend its maturity date for any period and release any security for, or any party to, this Note, all without notice to or consent of and without releasing any accommodation maker, endorser or guarantor from liability on this Note. Presentment or other demand for payment, notice of dishonor and protest are hereby waived. This Note shall be governed by the substantive laws of the State of Georgia except to the extent of applicable federal law.
