Agreement:
1. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein
shall have the same meanings set forth in the Lease.
2. Cobalt Reload of the Equipment.
a. Cobalt Reload. Pursuant to Section 14 of the Lease, and subject to the terms and
conditions set forth below, (i) GKF, at GKF’s cost and expense, shall reload the Equipment with new
cobalt-60 (the “Reload”), which Reload shall be performed at the Site and shall include any
required installation and rigging; and (ii) GKF shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
perform the Reload prior to December 31, 2007. It is anticipated that the Equipment will be

c. Permits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reload shall be performed by GKF only
after all necessary and appropriate licenses, permits, approvals, consents and authorizations,
including, without limitation, the proper handling of the cobalt-60 (collectively, the “Permits”),
have been obtained by Medical Center at Medical Center’s sole cost and expense. The timing and
procedure for the Reload shall be as mutually agreed upon between the parties. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the Lease and/or this Addendum, GKF makes no representation
or warranty to Medical Center concerning the Reload, and GKF shall have no obligation or liability
to pay any damages to Medical Center resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any lost
revenues or profits during the period of time that the Equipment is unavailable to perform
procedures due to the Reload process
3. Per Procedure Payment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, for each of the “Increased
Rent Procedures” (as defined below), the per procedure payment set forth in Section 6 of the Lease
shall be increased to * per procedure. Immediately following the completion of the last Increased
Rent Procedure, the per procedure payment shall return to * per procedure. As used herein, (i) the
term, “Increased Rent Procedures” shall mean * procedures performed from and after the completion
of the Reload; and (ii) the term “procedure” shall mean each individual treatment session
(fraction) that involves stereotactic, external, single fraction, conformal radiation, commonly
called radiosurgery, that may include one or more isocenters during the patient treatment session,
delivered to any site(s) superior to the foramen magnum, whether performed on an inpatient or
outpatient basis, using the Equipment and/or any other equipment or devices that are used in lieu
of, or as an alternative to, the Equipment. It is acknowledged by the parties that the Increased
Rent Procedures are intended to allow GKF to recover its costs to perform the Reload. Nothing set
forth herein shall affect the per case reimbursement rates for medical radiation physicist services
payable to GKF pursuant to Addendum Two.
4. No Responsibility for Additional Reloading. It is understood by the parties that
GKF is not responsible for any additional cobalt reloading, except as expressly agreed upon in
writing by Medical Center and GKF. However, if Medical Center and GKF mutually agree in writing to
another cobalt reloading of the Equipment, then, the costs for such reloading shall be shared
equally between Medical Center and XXX.
0. Captions. The captions and paragraph headings used herein are for convenience only
and shall not be used in construing or interpreting this Addendum.
6. Full Force and Effect. Except as amended by this Addendum, all of the terms and
provisions of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect.
7. Assignment. Pursuant to Section 24 of the Lease, GKF shall be permitted at any
time to assign any and all of its rights and obligations under the Lease to its wholly-owned
subsidiary, provided that such all of such assigned obligations shall be guaranteed by GKF.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Addendum effective as of the date first
