EXHIBIT 10.2

 

STRICT FORECLOSURE AGREEMENT

 

This STRICT FORECLOSURE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of October 3, 2016 at 3:00 p.m. prevailing Central Time (the “Effective Date”), by and between MediGain, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“MediGain”), Millennium Practice Management Associates, LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (“Millennium” and, collectively with MediGain, the “Debtors”), and MTBC Acquisition, Corp. (“MTBC” and, collectively with the Debtors, the “Parties”).

 

WHEREAS, on October 3, 2014, MediGain entered into a Note Purchase and Revolving Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) and related documents (collectively with the Credit Agreement, the “Loan Documents”) with The Prudential Insurance Company of America and Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (the “Senior Secured Noteholders”) in the approximate amount of $9.875 million (the “Senior Secured Indebtedness” and “Senior Secured Notes”) secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of MediGain, including 100% of the stock of RCM-MediGain India Private Limited (“RCM-MediGain India”). MediGain currently owes approximately $13 million of Senior Secured Indebtedness.

 

WHEREAS, on October 3, 2014, MediGain also entered into a Note Agreement with the below listed subordinated noteholders (the “Subordinated Noteholders”) in which MediGain agreed to issue, and the Subordinated Noteholders agreed to purchase, $14.1 million of subordinated notes due October 3, 2020 (the “Subordinated Notes”). In addition, MediGain issued Class W Units to the Subordinated Noteholders in exchange for $4 million, along with a Put Agreement in which MediGain agreed to repurchase the Class W Units upon the exercise of a put option provided to the Subordinated Noteholders. The Subordinated Noteholders are:

 

  a. Prudential Capital Partners IV, L.P.,
     
  b. Prudential Capital Partners (Parallel Fund) IV, L.P.,
     
  c. Prudential Capital Partners Management Fund IV, L.P., and
     
  d. PCP Healthcare Revenue Cycle Holding, L.P.

 

MediGain currently owes approximately $20.8 million to the Subordinated Noteholders (the “Subordinated Indebtedness”). The Subordinated Indebtedness is unsecured.

 

Millennium Acquisition in 2014

 

WHEREAS, approximately $13.4 million of the proceeds of the Senior Secured and Subordinated Notes were used by MediGain for the acquisition of Millennium, now a wholly owned subsidiary of MediGain.

 

WHEREAS, Millennium is headquartered in Upper Saddle River, New Jersey. Millennium provides services similar to those provided by MediGain, including outsourced medical billing and collection services to medical professionals in office-based settings, including cardiology, neurology, nephrology, urology, and internal medicine specialties.

 

WHEREAS, Millennium guaranteed MediGain’s Senior Secured Indebtedness and Subordinated Indebtedness. Millennium has pledged substantially all of its assets to secure its guaranty obligations to the Senior Secured Noteholders (the “Millennium Guaranty”). Its guaranty obligation to the Subordinated Noteholders is unsecured.

 

 
 

 

WHEREAS, the organizational chart for MediGain is currently as follows:

 

 

Defaults/Forbearance Agreements

 

WHEREAS, in January 2015, MediGain began defaulting on required payments to the Senior Secured Noteholders. On April 15, 2015, June 9, 2015, October 2, 2015, January 14, 2016 and February 2, 2016, MediGain and/or Millennium entered into Forbearance Agreements with the Senior Secured Noteholders. The fifth Forbearance Agreement expired on April 30, 2016, and interest then began accruing at the default rate.

 

WHEREAS, in February 2016, faced with decreasing revenues and severe financial distress, including approximately $13 million of defaulted Senior Secured Indebtedness, and approximately $20.8 million of defaulted Subordinated Indebtedness, MediGain and Millennium retained TKO Miller, LLC to provide it with investment banking services to market for sale substantially all of the assets of MediGain and Millennium. All of the indications of interests and proposals from potential purchasers were for an amount significantly less than the Senior Secured Indebtedness.

 

Sale of Senior Secured Indebtedness

 

WHEREAS, on and effective as of the Effective Date, the Senior Secured Noteholders have transferred and assigned all of their right, title and interests in and to the Senior Secured Indebtedness, under the Loan Documents and in the Millennium Guaranty, to MTBC.

Analysis of Available Options

 

WHEREAS, based on the results of the sales process conducted by TKO Miller, LLC and the historical and projected earnings of MediGain, the Debtors’ Boards of Managers acknowledge that the MediGain and Millennium assets are worth less than the Senior Secured Indebtedness, and certainly less than the combined Senior Secured Indebtedness and the Subordinated Indebtedness. Accordingly, the Debtors’ Boards of Managers now acknowledge that there is not enough value to repay the Senior Secured Indebtedness in full, and insufficient asset value for any recovery for the Subordinated Noteholders, the other unsecured creditors and the equity owners of MediGain. After consulting with counsel and MediGain’s management, and in light of the estimated MediGain asset values and the historical and projected EBITDA of MediGain, the Boards of Mangers now acknowledge that:

 

  a. The Debtors cannot continue to operate in the normal course of business with their current capital structure and near-term prospects;
     
  b. The Debtors can only service a fraction of the existing Senior Secured Indebtedness, and certainly none of the Subordinated Indebtedness;
     
  c. Any restructuring of the Debtors’ current capital structure would require forgiveness of all of the Subordinated Indebtedness, as well as the conversion of a significant portion of the Senior Secured Indebtedness to equity (which would, of course, require the extinguishment of all existing equity);
     
  d. A sale of the Debtors’ assets would provide no value or recovery for the Subordinated Noteholders, the other unsecured creditors and the equity owners; and
     
  e. The Debtors do not have sufficient funds to finance a Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings and, even if the Debtors could finance a bankruptcy proceeding, the main benefit of such a proceeding would be to provide the Debtors with time to either formulate and propose a plan of reorganization or to conduct a “§363 sale” of their assets. The Board of Managers believes that Chapter 11 proceedings would result in the loss of significant clients and revenues, and therefore would significantly reduce the Debtors’ asset values and projected earnings. Accordingly, the Board of Managers has determined that bankruptcy filings would pose a real and imminent threat to their business operations and reduce the value of their assets.

 

Proposed Strict Foreclosure Agreement

 

WHEREAS, since the Debtors have not been able to formulate a viable restructure plan, MTBC, the current owner and holder of the Senior Secured Indebtedness, has proposed that the Debtors transfer the foreclosed collateral securing the Senior Secured Indebtedness other than the Retained Assets (defined below), which are more fully described on Exhibit A (the “Foreclosed Collateral”), to MTBC in full satisfaction of the Senior Secured Indebtedness pursuant to Article 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code (i.e., a “strict foreclosure”) (the “Proposal”). With no viable alternatives available, the Debtors elected to negotiate this strict foreclosure agreement with MTBC in which the Debtors will provide their consent to the Proposal in exchange for MTBC’s agreement:

 

3
 

 

  a. to allow the Debtors to retain their cash to pay orderly wind down expenses of the Debtors (including preparation and filing of final tax returns);
     
  b. to assume certain of the Debtors’ executory contracts;
     
  c. to assume and pay certain of the Debtors’ outstanding non-insider and undisputed trade payables incurred in the ordinary course of business, in an aggregate amount of not more than $650,000 (which may include amounts due under executory contracts referenced in b hereof); and
     
  d. to offer employment at will to certain of the Debtors’ employees and to assume substantially all accrued but unpaid wages, vacation and other employee benefits due employees, in an aggregate amount of not more than $500,000.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1.       Recitals Incorporated. The recitals and prefatory phrases and paragraphs set forth above are hereby incorporated in full and made a part of this Agreement.

 

2.       Transfer of Foreclosed Collateral to MTBC in Satisfaction of Senior Secured Indebtedness. Pursuant to Section 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code, by the execution of this Agreement, the Debtors hereby voluntarily transfer, convey and assign to MTBC all of the Debtors’ legal, equitable and beneficial right, title and interest in and to the Foreclosed Collateral, and the Debtors consent, without any objection of any kind or nature, to the acceptance of the Foreclosed Collateral, and MTBC agrees by the execution of this Agreement that such transfer is in full satisfaction, payment and release of the Senior Secured Indebtedness and the Millennium Guaranty. (All references to the Uniform Commercial Code are deemed to be references to the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of Texas as of the date of this Agreement (the “UCC”) unless otherwise specifically indicated.) The Debtors further agree that they shall execute or deliver to MTBC such further instruments or documents, or take such further action, as is necessary or desirable to MTBC to accomplish the transfer of the Foreclosed Collateral contemplated hereby. MTBC agrees that it shall execute and deliver to the Debtors such further instruments or documents, or take such action, as is necessary or desirable to evidence the full satisfaction and payment of the Senior Secured Indebtedness and the Millennium Guaranty as provided herein. Without limiting the foregoing, upon execution of this Agreement, the Debtors shall deliver to MTBC all certificates and instruments representing or evidencing the equity interest in the Debtors’ subsidiaries. For the avoidance of doubt, Foreclosed Collateral shall include all funds received by the Debtors on or after October 1, 2016 through the Effective Date.

 

3.       Acceptance of the Foreclosed Collateral in Full Satisfaction of Senior Secured Indebtedness. MTBC hereby accepts the transfer of all of the Debtors’ rights, title and interests in and to the Foreclosed Collateral in payment, satisfaction and release of the Senior Secured Indebtedness and the Millennium Guaranty pursuant to Section 9-620 of the UCC and other applicable laws.

 

4
 

 

4.       Retained Assets. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Debtors are allowed to retain, and MTBC releases its liens and security interests, in (i) cash (which shall not include any funds received by a Debtor on or after October 1, 2016 through the Effective Date), (ii) all causes of action against Mr. Dinesh Butani, Mr. Greg Hackney and their affiliates arising prior to the Effective Date, (iii) all personal property and real property leases of the Debtors that are not Assumed Contracts, and (iv) all insurance policies.

(c)       all claims, liabilities and obligations due and owing as of the Effective Date under each of the executory contracts (including Medical Billing Agreements) listed on Exhibit C (collectively, the “Assumed Contracts”);

 

(d)       (i) to the extent accrued through September 30, 2016, certain claims, liabilities and obligations of the Debtors to all employees of the Debtors and to assume, pay, perform and discharge, all liabilities for accrued severance, vacation, salary, wages, bonuses, applicable payroll taxes, employee benefits (whether or not relating to or arising from any employee benefit plan), and any liabilities arising under, in connection with, or relating to any employee benefit plans, in each case in the amounts listed on Exhibit D; provided, however, that in no event shall the Assumed Liability under this Section 5(d)(i) exceed the amount of $500,000 in the aggregate, nor shall MTBC be deemed to have assumed any liability described in this Section 5(d)(i) to the extent that assumption of such liability would cause MTBC to incur Assumed Liabilities under this paragraph in excess of $500,000; and (ii) to the extent accrued on or after October 1, 2016, claims, liabilities and obligations of the Debtors to all employees of the Debtors and to assume, pay, perform and discharge, all liabilities for accrued severance, vacation, salary, wages, bonuses, applicable payroll taxes, employee benefits (whether or not relating to or arising from any employee benefit plan), and any liabilities arising under, in connection with, or relating to any employee benefit plans; and

 

(e)       all transfer taxes, if any, arising from this transaction.

 

6.       Excluded Liabilities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, MTBC is assuming only the Assumed Liabilities and is not assuming any other liability, indebtedness, payable, claim against or obligation of the Debtors whether presently in existence or arising hereafter, whether or not arising out of or relating to the conduct of the Debtors’ businesses or associated with or arising from any of the Foreclosed Collateral or any other rights, properties or assets used in or associated with the Debtors’ businesses at any time, and whether legal or equitable, matured, fixed or contingent, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, ordinary or extraordinary, patent or latent, or whether arising out of occurrences prior to, at or after the Effective Date, and whether or not such liabilities or obligations are disclosed in this Agreement, all of which, including the liabilities set forth below, shall be retained by and remain obligations and liabilities of the Debtors, including the following (all such liabilities and obligations not being assumed being herein referred to as the “Excluded Liabilities”):

(a)       The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement constitutes notice by MTBC and receipt and consent by the Debtors of MTBC’s Proposal to retain the Foreclosed Collateral in full satisfaction of the Senior Secured Indebtedness. This Agreement also constitutes the Debtors’ post-default waiver and renunciation of all of their rights under Article 9, subdivision 6, of the UCC (including Section 9-620). Upon execution of this Agreement, the Senior Secured Notes shall be marked satisfied and surrendered to the Debtors.

 

(b)       The Debtors: (a) agree that they have received notice sufficient for compliance with Sections 9-620 and 9-621 of the UCC and, in the alternative, hereby expressly waive (i) any requirement for receipt of such notice and any right to notification of sale, transfer, conveyance or surrender of the Foreclosed Collateral pursuant to Sections 9-620 and 9-621 of the UCC, and (ii) any remedies, rights, defenses or actions they might have as a result of failure to have received such notice; (b) waive the right to redeem the Foreclosed Collateral under Section 9-623 of the UCC or otherwise; (c) waive any right to object to the sale, transfer, conveyance or surrender of the Foreclosed Collateral pursuant to Section 9-620 of the UCC or otherwise; (d) waive any obligation of MTBC to dispose of the Foreclosed Collateral; (e) waive any other right, whether legal or equitable, that they may have in and to the Foreclosed Collateral; and (f) agree that the transactions contemplated herein are commercially reasonable. The Debtors acknowledge and agree that the waivers set forth in this Section and elsewhere in this Agreement constitute material consideration for the agreement of MTBC to execute and deliver this Agreement.

 

12.       Segregation and Delivery of Foreclosed Collateral by the Debtors. The Debtors shall hold for the benefit of, and in trust for, MTBC all proceeds of the Foreclosed Collateral. From and after the Effective Date, the Debtors will remit to MTBC immediately any such proceeds and shall not commingle proceeds with its other property.

 

13.       Acknowledgement of Obligations.

 

(a)       Each Debtor hereby acknowledges, confirms, and agrees that based on existing defaults and events of default, it is unconditionally liable to MTBC for the full and immediate payment of all of the Senior Secured Indebtedness, plus all interest, charges, fees, costs, and expenses that may arise under the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents, plus all attorneys’ fees, disbursements, and costs of collection incurred in connection with such Senior Secured Indebtedness, and that the Debtors have no defenses, counterclaims, or set-offs with respect to the full and immediate payment and performance of any or all of the Obligations under the Loan Documents.

 

(b)       Each Debtor hereby further acknowledges, confirms, and agrees that (i) there have been and currently exist multiple defaults and events of default under the Loan Documents, which constitute material defaults under the Loan Documents, (ii) any notice that might be given and any grace period or cure period that must expire, prior to the secured parties’ exercising any of their respective rights or remedies in connection with the Loan Documents, have been given, complied with, and expired and, in any event, are hereby waived and relinquished by such Debtor, and (iii) as a consequence, MTBC is now entitled immediately to exercise all of its respective rights and remedies under the applicable loan documents, at law, and in equity.

 

8
 

 

(c)       Each Debtor hereby further acknowledges, confirms, and agrees (i) that as a result of existing defaults and events of default, MTBC has no commitment, obligation, or agreement to make loans or other financial accommodations to such Debtor, (ii) that all such commitments, obligations, and agreements have terminated, (iii) MTBC has not waived, and this Agreement shall not and shall not be deemed or construed to waive, any existing default or event of default, and (iv) that nothing contained herein or in the transactions contemplated hereby shall or shall be deemed or construed to constitute any such waiver.

 

14.       Acknowledgement of Security Interests. Each Debtor hereby acknowledges, confirms, and agrees (i) that MTBC holds valid, enforceable, and perfected first-priority liens on and security interests in the Foreclosed Collateral, including the Foreclosed Collateral, (ii) that the Foreclosed Collateral secures payment and performance of the Senior Secured Indebtedness, (iii) that Lender is entitled to immediately proceed to foreclose upon the Foreclosed Collateral and to exercise each of Lender’s other rights and remedies set forth in the Note, the Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided by the Texas Uniform Commercial Code, and (iv) that each Debtor shall take no action to challenge, limit, or dispute such liens or security interests, the obligations, the Debtors’ defaults or events of default, or MTBC’s rights and remedies in connection therewith.

 

15.       The Debtors’ Consent to Strict Foreclosure and Acceptance of the Proposal.

 

(a)       Pursuant to Section 9-620 of the UCC, effective immediately upon MTBC’s receipt of each Debtor’s countersignature hereto (which shall constitute each Debtor’s consent to strict foreclosure and acceptance of MTBC’s Proposal, on the terms and conditions hereof), MTBC shall accept the Foreclosed Collateral. For the avoidance of doubt, MTBC’s Proposal does not apply to any personal property in the possession of the Debtors that is not Foreclosed Collateral. Such acceptance by MTBC and delivery thereof by the Debtors (on the terms set forth herein), shall constitute partial satisfaction of the obligations owed to MTBC under the Senior Secured Notes and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

 

(b)       Each Debtor hereby acknowledges, confirms, and agrees that it received the MTBC Proposal and that, by countersigning this Agreement, such Debtor knowingly and irrevocably (i) accepts MTBC’s Proposal in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, and such Debtor further acknowledges, confirms, and agrees that it shall have no further right to object to the terms and conditions set forth herein and that MTBC shall retain the Foreclosed Collateral in full satisfaction of the Senior Secured Indebtedness, as described herein , (ii) waives any and all rights to notice it has or may have under Section 9-601, et seq., Part 6 of the UCC, including all rights under Section 9-620 to receive notice of the proposed retention of the Foreclosed Collateral or subsequent disposition of same, or to the full extent of the law, any other notice or right they may have arising under or pursuant to this or any other section of the UCC or otherwise, (iii) waives all of such Debtor’s rights to redeem any of the Foreclosed Collateral under Section 9-623 of the UCC, and (iv) waives any claim of surplus or any claim that the MTBC’s Proposal was not made or accepted in good faith, or any other claim, objection, opposition, or challenge in connection with MTBC’s Proposal or such Debtor’s acceptance. Each Debtor hereby irrevocably covenants not to raise any objection, opposition, or challenge in connection with MTBC’s Proposal, the acceptance thereof by such Debtor, or otherwise with respect to the Foreclosed Collateral.

 

9
 

 

(c)       Each Debtor hereby further acknowledges, confirms, and agrees that it shall cooperate fully with MTBC and its agents, successors, assigns, and designees in connection with the MTBC’s Proposal and this Agreement, and shall take such actions, and sign and deliver such documents, as requested by MTBC in order to effectuate the same, including but not limited to the transfer to, and registration in the name of MTBC of the stock of RCM-MediGain India and delivery of possession and title of the Foreclosed Collateral to MTBC.

 

(d)       Pursuant to authority provided to the Senior Secured Lender under the Loan Documents, MTBC agrees to vote and execute documents evidencing its vote of the pledged membership interests in MediGain, to approve MediGain’s consent to the MTBC Proposal.

 

16.       Bankruptcy Matters.

 

(a)       Factual Background. Each Debtor stipulates, acknowledges, and agrees that:

 

(i)       If the Debtors fail to perform their obligations under this Agreement and file, or have filed against them, a case under title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), such a filing could delay MTBC’s disposition of the Foreclosed Collateral. In that event, each Debtor stipulates and agrees that cause exists for relief from the automatic stay imposed by section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of law, including any right to seek relief under section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

(ii)       The Foreclosed Collateral is not necessary to an effective reorganization of the Debtor because an effective reorganization is not possible.

 

(iii)       The Debtors cannot provide “adequate protection” (as defined in section 361 of the Bankruptcy Code) of MTBC’s security interest in the Foreclosed Collateral to the extent necessary to satisfy sections 361 and 362(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

(b)       Each Debtor makes the foregoing acknowledgments with the understanding and desire that they be treated as admissions in connection with any proceeding for relief from the automatic stay or any similar legal process by which MTBC may seek leave to foreclose or to exercise any other remedy against the Foreclosed Collateral in any subsequent bankruptcy or other proceeding that involves any Debtor.

 

(c)       Relief from Automatic Stay. Based on the foregoing factual background, each Debtor agrees that, in the event that it shall (i) seek in any case filed under the Bankruptcy Code by or against any Debtor any relief that has the effect of modifying or limiting MTBC’s rights hereunder in any bankruptcy court or other court of competent jurisdiction or, (ii) seek, consent to, or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver, conservator or liquidator, or (iii) be the subject of any order, judgment or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction approving a petition filed by or against it for any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future federal or state law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or relief for the Debtor, then MTBC shall thereupon be entitled to relief from:

 

(i)       Any automatic stay imposed by section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, as amended, on or against the rights and remedies otherwise available to Lender, and

 

10
 

 

(ii)       Any other similar provision of law that has the effect of modifying or limiting MTBC’s right to exercise its rights and remedies under this agreement and the Loan Documents. Each Debtor hereby further agrees (i) to take or consent to any and all action necessary to effectuate such relief from the automatic stay or other provision of law, and (ii) that it waives its rights to seek any injunctive relief under section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, any other rights, or the filing of a subsequent proceeding by any Debtor with respect to any acts by Lender to enforce rights in the Foreclosed Collateral.

 

(d)       Provided each Debtor is vigorously opposing the relief sought, the foregoing consent and waiver shall not apply to an involuntary petition filed against any Debtor until and unless a final order for relief is entered; provided, however, that nothing set forth herein shall prevent MTBC from seeking relief from the automatic stay or any other relief.

 

17.       Representations and Warranties.

 

(a)       MTBC hereby represents and warrants to the Debtors that (i) it has full power and authority to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the documents related hereto, and (ii) the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and such documents has been duly authorized and approved and does not require any further authorization or consent of MTBC.

 

(b)       The Debtors hereby represent and warrant, jointly and severally, to MTBC as follows:

 

(i)       General. Each Debtor (i) has read and fully understands the terms and conditions of this Agreement and its acceptance of MTBC’s Proposal and (ii) has consulted with, has received the advice of, and has been represented with respect to the subject matter hereof by counsel of such Debtor’s own choosing, prior to countersigning. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and have each been represented by respective legal counsel of their choice. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or not favoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(ii)       Board Resolutions.
