PRELIMINARY STATEMENT.  21C East Florida, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with its successors, the “Borrower”), is party to a Credit Agreement, dated as of February 10, 2014 (as further amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; the capitalized terms defined therein and not otherwise defined herein being used herein as therein defined) among the Borrower, the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time parties thereto, and Administrative Agent as administrative agent and collateral agent.  Parent holds a 51% equity interest in Borrower, 21C holds a 42% equity interest in Borrower, and 21st Century of Florida Acquisition, LLC holds a 7% equity interest in Borrower.  Parent and each 21C Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement and the documents executed and/or delivered pursuant thereto, and it is a condition precedent to the making of Loans by the Secured Parties under the Credit Agreement that Parent and each 21C Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Term B Loan Guarantee.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, and in order to induce the Secured Parties to enter into the Credit Agreement, Parent and each 21C Guarantor, jointly and severally with each other such party, hereby agrees as follows:

 

Section 1.                                           Term B Loan Guarantee.

 

Parent and the 21C Guarantors each hereby unconditionally and jointly and severally guarantee to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and their successors and assigns: the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement (hereinafter, the “Obligations”) including, without limitation: (a) the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Loans, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, the due and punctual payment of interest on the overdue principal of and premium, if any, and, to the extent permitted by law, interest, and the due and punctual performance of all other obligations of the Borrower to the Secured Parties or the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement, all in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and this Term B Loan Guarantee; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Loans or any other Obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration pursuant to Section 7 of the Credit Agreement or otherwise; provided, however, that the aggregate liability of the OnCure Guarantors under this Term B Loan Guarantee shall

not exceed $9.5 million.  Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, Parent and the 21C Guarantors shall each be jointly and severally obligated to, as applicable, pay or perform the same immediately.  Parent and each 21C Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

 

Parent and the 21C Guarantors each hereby agrees that its obligations with regard to this Term B Loan Guarantee shall be joint and several, unconditional, irrespective of the validity or enforceability of the Obligations, the absence of any action to enforce the same, the recovery of any judgment against the Borrower or any other Person liable therefor with respect to the Credit Agreement or the Obligations, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstances (other than complete performance) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of Parent or a 21C Guarantor.  Parent and the 21C Guarantors each further, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Borrower, any right to require a proceeding first against the Borrower or other Person liable for the Obligations, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Term B Loan Guarantee will not be discharged as to any of the Obligations except by complete payment and performance in full of the Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement or as provided in this Term B Loan Guarantee.

 

If any Secured Party is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Borrower, Parent or the 21C Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Borrower, Parent or the 21C Guarantors, any amount paid by either to any Secured Party, this Term B Loan Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

 

Parent and each 21C Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Secured Parties in respect of any Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment and performance in full of all Obligations guaranteed hereby.  Parent and each 21C Guarantor further agrees that, as between Parent and the 21C Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 7 of the Credit Agreement for the purposes of this Term B Loan Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Section 7 of the Credit Agreement that occurs, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by Parent and the 21C Guarantors for the purpose of this Term B Loan Guarantee.  Parent and each 21C Guarantor shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying 21C Guarantor (including Parent and 21C) so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Secured Parties under this Term B Loan Guarantee.

 

Section 2.                                           Limitation on 21C Guarantor Liability.

 

Parent and each 21C Guarantor and each Secured Party hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee of Parent and each 21C Guarantor not

constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any guarantee (herein collectively, the “Insolvency Laws”).  To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Secured Parties, Parent and each of the 21C Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the maximum liability of each of Parent and each 21C Guarantor shall in no event exceed the maximum amount which can be guaranteed by such guarantor without rendering this Term B Loan Guarantee, as it relates to such guarantor, voidable under applicable Insolvency Laws, after giving effect to the right of such guarantor to contribution from Parent or the other 21C Guarantors and any other rights such guarantor may have, contractual or otherwise; provided, however, that the aggregate liability of the OnCure Guarantors under this Term B Loan Guarantee shall not exceed $9.5 million.

 

Section 3.                                           Execution and Delivery of the Term B Loan Guarantee.

 

To evidence its Term B Loan Guarantee set forth in Section 1, Parent and each 21C Guarantor hereby agrees that this Term B Loan Guarantee shall be executed on behalf of Parent and such 21C Guarantor by its President or one of its Vice Presidents.

 

21C hereby agrees that it shall cause each Person that becomes obligated to provide a Term B Loan Guarantee pursuant to Section 16 to execute a supplemental guaranty, pursuant to which such Person provides the guarantee set forth in this Term B Loan Guarantee and otherwise assumes the obligations and accepts the rights of a 21C Guarantor under this Term B Loan Guarantee, in each case with the same effect and to the same extent as if such Person had been named herein as a 21C Guarantor.

 

Section 4.                                           21C Guarantors May Consolidate, Etc., on Certain Terms.

 

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental guaranty, executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 16 and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Term B Loan Guarantee to be performed by Parent or the 21C Guarantors, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for Parent or the 21C Guarantors with the same effect as if it had been named herein as such.  All the Term B Loan Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit as the Term B Loan Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued as though all of such Term B Loan Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

 

Nothing contained in this Term B Loan Guarantee shall prevent any consolidation or merger of Parent or a 21C Guarantor with or into Parent or another 21C Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a 21C Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to Parent or another 21C Guarantor.

 

Section 5.                                           Releases of Term B Loan Guarantees.

 

In the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Parent or any 21C Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of Parent or any 21C Guarantor, in each case to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transactions) a Restricted Subsidiary of

21C, then Parent or such 21C Guarantor, as applicable (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the Capital Stock of such 21C Guarantor), or the corporation acquiring the property (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Parent or such 21C Guarantor) shall be released and relieved of any obligations under its Term B Loan Guarantee; provided that the net proceeds of such sale or other disposition shall be applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Term B Loan Guarantee, including without limitation Section 13.  In the case of any 21C Restricted Subsidiary which after the Closing Date is required to guarantee the Loans pursuant to Section 16, such 21C Restricted Subsidiary shall be released and relieved of any obligations under its Term B Loan Guarantee upon the release or discharge of the guarantee by such 21C Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness of the Borrower or any 21C Restricted Subsidiary or the repayment of the Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock, in each case, which resulted in the obligation to guarantee the Obligations.  If a 21C Guarantor ceases to be a Person required to become a Guarantor pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, such 21C Guarantor shall be released and relieved of any obligations under its Term B Loan Guarantee.  Upon delivery by 21C to the Administrative Agent of an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by 21C in accordance with the provisions of this Term B Loan Guarantee, including without limitation Section 13, the Administrative Agent shall execute any documents reasonably requested by the Borrower or such 21C Guarantor in order to evidence the release of any 21C Guarantor from its obligations under its Term B Loan Guarantee.  Any of Parent or any 21C Guarantor that is not released from its obligations under its Term B Loan Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of the Obligations.

 

Section 6.                                           21C Reports.

 

(a)           Notwithstanding that 21C may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, if not filed electronically with the SEC through EDGAR (or any successor system), 21C shall provide to the Administrative Agent to be provided to the Secured Parties, within 15 days of the time periods specified in the relevant forms:

 

(1)           all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if 21C were required to file such Forms (but without any requirement to provide separate financial statements of any Subsidiary of 21C), including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and, with respect to the annual information only, a report on the annual financial statements by 21C’s independent registered public accounting firm; and

 

(2)           all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if 21C were required to file such reports.

 

(b)           If 21C has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries and such Unrestricted Subsidiaries, either individually or collectively, would otherwise have been a Significant Subsidiary, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraph shall include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes to the financial statements and in “Management’s

Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition,” of the financial condition and results of operations of 21C and its Restricted Subsidiaries.

 

Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 6 is for informational purposes only, and the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including 21C’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Administrative Agent is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

 

Section 7.                                           21C Compliance Certificate.

 

(a)           21C shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of 21C, the 21C Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether 21C, the 21C Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled their obligations under this Term B Loan Guarantee, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge 21C, the 21C Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Term B Loan Guarantee and are not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Term B Loan Guarantee (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action 21C is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Loans is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action 21C is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

 

(b)           [Reserved].

 

(c)           21C shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of any event that with the giving of notice and/or the lapse of time would become an Event of Default, its status and what action 21C is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

21C shall pay, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments and governmental levies, except such as are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Secured Parties.

 

Section 9.                                           21C Corporate Existence.

 

Subject to Section 18 hereof, 21C shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (a) its corporate existence, and the corporate,

The maximum amount of Indebtedness that 21C and the 21C Restricted Subsidiaries may incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness, solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies.

Section 11.                                    21C Restricted Payments.

 

(a)           21C will not, and will not cause or permit any of the 21C Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly:

(2)           purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Capital Stock of  21C;

(3)           make any principal payment on, purchase, defease, redeem, prepay, decrease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, prior to any scheduled final maturity, scheduled repayment or scheduled sinking fund payment, any 21C Subordinated Indebtedness, except any payment, purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of any such Indebtedness in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity, in each case due within one year of the date of payment, purchase, redemption, defeasance, acquisition or retirement and any payment of intercompany Indebtedness to 21C or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or

 

(4)           make any Investment (other than 21C Permitted Investments);

 

(each of the foregoing actions set forth in clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) being referred to as a “21C Restricted Payment”) if at the time of such 21C Restricted Payment or immediately after giving effect thereto,

 

(i)                                     a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

Exhibit I to the
Term B Loan Guarantee

 

SUPPLEMENT NO.       dated as of [                  ], 20[    ] (the “Supplement”) to the Term B Loan Guarantee dated as of February [    ], 2014, from the 21C Guarantors (as defined therein) in favor of [                      ], as administrative agent and collateral Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).

 

A.            Reference is made to the Credit Agreement, dated as of February [    ], 2014 (as further amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among the Borrower, the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time parties to this Supplement and [                          ] (“[Agent TBD]”), as administrative agent and collateral agent.

 

B.            Capitalized terms used in this Supplement and not otherwise defined in this Supplement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Term B Loan Guarantee.

 

C.            The 21C Guarantors have entered into the Term B Loan Guarantee in order to induce the Secured Parties to make Loans. Section 16 of the Term B Loan Guarantee provides that additional Subsidiaries of the Borrower may become 21C Guarantors under the Term B Loan Guarantee Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Subsidiary (the “New Subsidiary”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement to become 21C Guarantors under the Term B Loan Guarantee [in order to induce the Lenders to make additional Loans and ]as consideration for Loans previously made.

 

Accordingly, the Administrative Agent and the New Subsidiary agree as follows:

 

SECTION 1.  In accordance with Section 16 of the Term B Loan Guarantee, the New Subsidiary by its signature below becomes a 21C Guarantor under the Term B Loan Guarantee with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a 21C Guarantor and the New Subsidiary hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Term B Loan Guarantee applicable to it as a 21C Guarantor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a 21C Guarantor thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof.  Each reference to a “21C Guarantor” in the Term B Loan Guarantee shall be deemed to include the New Subsidiary. The Term B Loan Guarantee is hereby incorporated in this Supplement by reference.

 

SECTION 2.  The New Subsidiary represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

 

SECTION 3.  This Supplement may be executed in by one or more of the parties to this Supplement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed signature page of this Supplement by facsimile, .pdf file or other electronic transmission shall be effective

 



 

as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.  A set of the copies of this Supplement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

 

SECTION 4.  The New Subsidiary hereby represents and warrants that set forth under its signature hereto is (i) the true and correct legal name of the New Subsidiary, (ii) its jurisdiction of formation, (iii) its Federal Taxpayer Identification Number and its organizational identification number and (iv) the location of its chief executive office.

 

SECTION 5.  Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Term B Loan Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect.

 

SECTION 6.  THIS SUPPLEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WILL BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

 

SECTION 7.  Any provision of this Supplement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof and in the Term B Loan Guarantee; the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

 

SECTION 8.  All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 16 of the Term B Loan Guarantee.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the New Subsidiary and the Administrative Agent have duly executed this Supplement to the Term B Loan Guarantee as of the day and year first above written.
