AS BETWEEN COMPANY AND THE PRACTICE, ALL SUCH RISKS SHALL BE BORNE BY THE PRACTICE.

7.2 If any piece of the Subleased Equipment is located in a jurisdiction that imposes any sales, use fee or similar tax, Practice shall remit such tax to the appropriate taxing authority in accordance with applicable law.

8.4 The Subleased Equipment is and always shall remain personal property, whether or not attached to real property and all rights of ownership interest as between Company and the Practice shall belong to Company. The Practice shall not cause or permit the Subleased Equipment to be used or located in such a manner that it might be deemed a fixture. The Practice shall, at its expense, place such identification on the Subleased Equipment, in a prominent and visible location, showing Company’s interest therein as Company reasonably requests and shall not allow any other name to be placed thereon that might be interpreted as a conflicting claim.

 

9.

Inspection.

Company shall have the right, upon prior written notice at reasonable hours, to enter on the Practice’s Subleased Space or elsewhere and inspect the Subleased Space and Subleased Equipment and any records and documents regarding its use, maintenance and repair.

Insurance.

The Practice covenants and agrees that it shall maintain or cause to be maintained at all times and at its sole expense commercial general liability insurance (including product liability, public liability and property damage insurance) and all-risk property insurance acceptable to Company with respect to all Subleased Space and Subleased Equipment in commercially reasonable amounts. Each policy providing such insurance shall be on an occurrence basis, shall name Company as additional insured and/or loss payee, as applicable, shall provide that it may be altered or canceled by the insurer only after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Company, shall provide breach of warranty protection, provide that such coverage is “primary” and, if it is an umbrella or excess liability policy and shall provide full coverage in the amount of its maximum limit in the event of the failure or absence of primary coverage. The Practice shall deliver to Company: (i) satisfactory evidence of the existence of such insurance upon demand; and (ii) satisfactory evidence of its renewal or replacement at least thirty (30) days before its expiration or cancellation.

The Practice grants Company power of attorney to sign, endorse or negotiate for Company’s benefit any instrument representing proceeds of any required insurance and Company will also have the right to compromise or settle any dispute with the insurance Company.

Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information.

12.1 Confidentiality. Each Party covenants and agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its respective affiliates, employees, representatives and agents (collectively, “Representatives”), to not, directly or indirectly, disclose or use any other Party’s Confidential Information (as defined below) during the Term of this Agreement, or at any time thereafter, except as authorized by such other Party pursuant to this Agreement or as otherwise required by law.

(a) Healthcare Regulatory Matters.

(i) The Rent hereunder has been determined by the Parties to equal the fair market value of the Subleased Space and Subleased Equipment furnished by Company to Practice, without taking into account the proximity of the Parties or the Subleased Space to any source of referrals, or the volume or value of any referrals of business from Company to Practice (which, for purposes of this Section includes members of its medical staff and affiliated practitioners), or from Practice to Company. The Subleased Space and Subleased Equipment do not exceed that which is reasonable and necessary for the legitimate business purposes of Practice. The Rent payable hereunder has been determined by the Parties through good faith and arm’s length bargaining, and has been determined by the Parties to constitute the fair market value of the Subleased Space and Subleased Equipment furnished by Company to Practice, and does not take into account any source of referrals or the volume or value of any patient referrals between the Parties (or their affiliates) that is reimbursed by any governmental or other third party payor.

The Parties understand and agree that nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to require or encourage Company to refer patients for services to Practice. In addition, the Rent does not include any discount, rebate, kickback, or other reduction in charge. This Agreement is intended and shall be construed to comply with (A) the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7b, and its applicable safe harbors, (B) the federal Stark Law, 42 U.S.C. § 1395nn, and its applicable exceptions, to the extent applicable; and (C) any similar state laws.

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the governmental agencies that administer the Medicare, Medicaid or other federally funded programs, or any other federal, state or local governmental or non-governmental agency, or any court or administrative tribunal passes or promulgates any law, rule, regulation, standard, interpretation, order, decision or judgment including, without limitation, those relating to any applicable federal or state anti-kickback or self-referral statutes, which, in the good faith judgment of Company or Practice’s experienced healthcare counsel, materially and adversely affects Company’s ability to provide non-clinical administrative and management services or Practice’s licensure, accreditation, certification or ability to refer, to accept any referral, to bill, to claim, to present a bill or claim for reimbursement, or a risk of prosecution or civil monetary penalty (collectively and individually, an “Adverse Result”), Company and Practice shall each have the right, in good faith, to notify the other Party of the notifying Party’s intent to either amend or

terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. During said thirty (30) day period, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement to eliminate the Adverse Result. In the event that the Parties are unable to renegotiate the Agreement to eliminate such Adverse Result, this Agreement shall terminate upon the expiration of said thirty (30) day period or sooner if in connection with the termination, expiration, or non-renewal of the Services Agreement.

(b) Federal Health Care Program Exclusion/Debarment. At all times during the Term of this Agreement, each Party represents, warrants and covenants that neither it nor any of its owners or employees (as applicable) has been or shall be suspended, debarred or excluded from participating in the Medicare or Medicaid programs, or any other federal or state health care program (each, a “Government Program”).

14.7 Further Assurances.
