REVOLVING CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

 

Section 1.    Introduction .

 

THIS REVOLVING CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into this 17th day of April, 2007 by and between PRESIDENTIAL HEALTHCARE CREDIT CORPORATION (“PHCC”) and PARK INFUSION CARE, LP, a Texas limited partnership, formerly known as PARK INFUSION SERVICES, LP, d/b/a PARK INFUSION CARE, PARK INFUSIONCARE OF DALLAS, LP, a Texas limited partnership, PARK INFUSIONCARE OF HOUSTON, LP, a Texas limited partnership and PARK INFUSIONCARE OF SAN ANTONIO, LP, a Texas limited partnership (together, 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.

 

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 12; 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 reasonable sole discretion and is final and binding upon the Provider. 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 the amount of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00); however, it is expressly acknowledged and agreed that, in such event, Provider 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 Borrower 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 reasonable 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 reasonable 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.

 

(vi)    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.

 

(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 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 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 one percent (1%) of the Maximum Aggregate Loan Amount (“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 Servicer will prepare and deliver an Availability Certificate to the Provider 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.

(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 unanimously 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, 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.

(a)    On or prior to the date hereof, Provider, pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, shall have established in its own name (1) a post office box for the receipt of all items with respect to Healthcare Receivables (the “Lockbox”), and (2) an account at an insured depository institution approved by PHCC for the deposit of all Collections and payments on the Healthcare Receivables (the “Lockbox Account”)

 

 

-12-


 

The Lockbox Account shall be subject at all times to a control agreement in form satisfactory to PHCC in PHCC’s reasonable sole discretion (the “Control Agreement”), said control agreement to be among PHCC, Provider and the financial institution at which the Lockbox Account is established.

 

(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 payment 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 the form of immediately available funds accepted by PHCC. Unless an Event of Default exists, PHCC (or Servicer on PHCC’s behalf) shall pay to Provider daily (i) all such amounts that were received from account debtors which are not and were never account debtors on Eligible Receivables, and (ii) 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.

 

 

-13-


 

 

 

(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 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 within three (3) days 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”):

(i)    Healthcare Receivables, all related Contracts and all Collections with regard thereto, any and all amounts now or hereafter due to the Provider from the Lockbox, the Lockbox Account, all funds on deposit in each of the foregoing with regard thereto and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time evidencing the Lockbox and the Lockbox Account and such funds of the Provider on deposit therein, all claims thereunder or in connection therewith, all software and books and records relating to any of the foregoing, all general intangibles, accounts, payment intangibles, interest, dividends, moneys, instruments, securities and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the foregoing, and all proceeds and amounts received or receivable under any or all of the foregoing;

 

(ii)    substitutions, accessions, additions, parts, accessories, attachments, replacements, Proceeds and products of, for and to any and all of the foregoing, including, without limitation, any and all insurance proceeds, and any and all such substitutions, accessions, additions, parts, accessories, attachments, replacements, Proceeds and products in the form of any of the property described or referenced in (i) above.

 

All references in this Agreement to the UCC shall mean the Georgia Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”), as amended from time to time. All references in this Section 5 to general intangibles, accounts and payment intangibles shall mean those terms as defined in the UCC.

 

 

 

Upon an Event of Default under this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, PHCC’s rights with respect to the Collateral pledged hereunder include, but are not limited to, the right to: (i) settle and/or compromise any or all of such Collateral; (ii); and (iii)demand, receive and sue, in the Provider’s name at PHCC’s option, for any moneys due or which may become due under such Collateral, or for enforcement of any rights afforded the Provider with respect thereto.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, at any time PHCC’s rights with respect to the Collateral pledged hereunder include, but are not limited to, the right to: (i) do all acts necessary or advisable in furtherance of any rights of PHCC hereunder and

 

 

-15-


 

 

 

(ii) sign and endorse on behalf of the Provider all checks and instruments received in connection with Collections on the Healthcare Receivables and the Provider hereby irrevocably appoints PHCC the attorney-in-fact of the Provider for such purpose; and the Provider hereby specifically authorizes, ratifies and confirms all that PHCC shall do by virtue hereof; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Provider, and not PHCC, shall retain, unless otherwise specified in a court order or an agreement of agency, all rights of collection and endorsement with respect to Governmental Receivables.
