2. ESTABLISHMENT AND STRUCTURE OF PROGRAM.
2.1. Financing Options Offered to Customers. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Buyer will assist Omnicell in the development of new financing options that Omnicell may, in its sole discretion, offer to prospective Customers in connection with this Purchase Program. Financing options or products that differ from the program described in the General Terms and Conditions section of this Agreement, shall be specifically set forth and incorporated in this Agreement via written and executed Riders attached hereto. Buyer and Omnicell each acknowledge and agree that the actual financing options (i) offered and made available by Buyer under this Purchase Program will be determined by Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion and may change from time to time; and (ii) offered to any particular Customer will be determined and offered by Omnicell in its sole and absolute discretion, and may change from time to time; provided, however, that Buyer may elect to enter into or not enter into a Transaction in its sole and absolute discretion in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 3 hereof.
2.2. Referral of Customers to Buyer. Omnicell will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) advise prospective Customers of the financing options offered by Omnicell under the Purchase Program; and (ii) refer to the Purchase Program, on a nonexclusive basis, each prospective Customer that has requested financing pursuant to the Purchase Program. Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall prohibit Omnicell from advising such prospective Customers of options offered by other Omnicell programs, or from running limited marketing programs whereby special options offered by other entities are made available to prospective Customers without advisement on Buyer’s offerings.
2.3. Relationship Managers. Buyer and Omnicell will each appoint a relationship manager (“Relationship Manager”) to supervise the Purchase Program described herein and to serve as the primary management contact between Buyer and Omnicell under the Purchase Program. Buyer’s Relationship Manager shall be charged with monitoring the following areas: Purchase Program
5
roll-out, Customer satisfaction, sales support, sales training, the development of appropriate documentation, and the development of requested marketing materials.
2.4. General Administrative Support. Buyer shall provide general administrative and operations services in connection with the Purchase Program, including but not limited to field sales support (when and where mutually agreed upon by Omnicell and Buyer), credit investigation and evaluation, document preparation, billing and collection, collection and remittance of payment of applicable property, sales, use or similar taxes pertaining to the System and customer service (collectively, “Administrative Services”). As part of the Administrative Services, Buyer will (i) advise Omnicell on a weekly basis of the Standard Rates that are applicable to all Transactions, (ii) maintain and operate systems which track the status of each Application and Transaction, (iii) invoice Customers, collect payments, process and apply funds, and (iv) collect and remit in a timely manner all applicable property, sales, use or similar taxes pertaining to the System and prepare and file tax returns in connection therewith. In performing the Administrative Services, Buyer will make reasonable efforts to collect all payments and taxes called for under the applicable Contract and Master Agreement, and will follow collection procedures at least as rigorous as those it would take in servicing similar receivables and in collecting payments and taxes thereunder for its own account. In the event a Customer, serviced by Buyer, has a good faith dispute with Buyer regarding the provision of the services described in this Section 2.4, Buyer will apply best efforts to resolve the dispute with such customer in such manner that Omnicell’s relationship with the Customer is not negatively affected; provided, however, that in all cases, subject to Section 5.1, Buyer reserves the right to employ (or decline to employ) such lawful collection procedures (including without limitation, litigation) as Buyer may determine prudent in its sole and absolute discretion.
2.5. Customer Support. Buyer personnel will be available to answer Customer and Omnicell inquiries relating to the Purchase Program or Transactions on business days (via a toll free telephone line) between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Central Time in the United States. Customer inquiries received when no personnel are available will be recorded electronically and promptly responded to. Buyer will conduct its communications with Customers in a courteous, prompt and efficient manner. Buyer shall use its best efforts to resolve all Customer complaints relating to Transactions within two business days of receipt and, failing that, will keep the affected Customer informed of the progress toward resolution on a regular basis; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.5 shall be deemed to require Buyer to resolve or endeavor to resolve any Customer complaints relating to the System, or the maintenance or servicing thereof, which shall remain the sole responsibility of Omnicell. Buyer shall use its best efforts to immediately notify Omnicell in writing of all Customer complaints relating to service, maintenance or the performance of the System. Omnicell will take such actions it deems reasonable and appropriate in resolving such complaints. Buyer shall periodically monitor the quality of customer service and other aspects of the Program through scorecards or other measurements, and shall seek improvement of such areas as are necessary. The rights and obligations of Buyer and Omnicell under this Agreement shall remain unaffected by any such quality improvement activity.
2.6. Sales Support. Buyer shall work with Omnicell’s field sales organization (when and where mutually agreed upon by Omnicell and Buyer) to structure and negotiate new Transactions and otherwise support the Purchase Program and Omnicell sales efforts.
2.7. Ongoing Training. At the request of Omnicell, Buyer may agree, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, to sponsor periodic training programs for Omnicell sales representatives and employees,
6
at which such individuals shall be trained on the techniques and benefits of using leases and other financial products as sales tools, proper documentation, and such other topics as the parties mutually agree upon. Such training shall be performed at sites as the parties mutually agree upon, and Buyer shall be responsible for such training expenses as the parties mutually agree upon in advance (which expenses shall not include transportation, and travel and living expenses of Omnicell employees).
2.8. Product Support. Omnicell shall be responsible for service and maintenance of Customer Systems, and shall offer Service Agreements to prospective Customers which provide for Systems service and maintenance and updated versions of existing Software capabilities. The Service Payments due by the Customer are to be included as separate line items in each Contract.
2.9. Government and International Programs. With respect to finance products for equipment/software provided to government entity Customers or Customers in countries other than the U.S., each of Omnicell and Buyer agrees that, in its sole discretion, it may choose to negotiate in good faith any additional or differing terms and conditions from this Purchase Program, to be set forth in one or more Rider attachments to this Agreement, as the parties may require to take into account special terms for government entities, local laws and customs and such other matters as the parties may require. If Buyer and Omnicell choose to negotiate such terms and conditions in accordance with the preceding sentence, then Buyer agrees to provide to Omnicell with drafts of such written Rider terms, together with drafts of appropriate Customer financing documentation, within 30 days after Omnicell requests that Buyer provide such additional or differing terms and conditions with respect to a Purchase Program for government entities or for a particular country.
3. OFFER AND ACCEPTANCE.
3.1. Assets to be Sold. The Parties hereby agree that unless otherwise agreed in writing, each Transaction pursuant to this Agreement shall include the sale and assignment of all of Omnicell’s right, title and interest, but not its obligations or responsibilities, in, to and under the Rental Payments, and, if so specified in the Assignment Agreement the Service Payments, under the applicable Contract, and, if so specified in the Assignment Agreement, all of Omnicell’s title or other interest in the Equipment subject thereto, which Omnicell has offered, and Buyer has approved and accepted, for purchase and assignment in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Buyer shall have the option with respect to each Transaction (i) to provide pass-through service billing in accordance with Section 5.7 with respect to the applicable Contract or (ii) to purchase the Service Payments under the applicable Contract, and in either case Buyer shall at its sole cost and expense, perform all the billing and collection of Assigned Payments and Service Payments due and to become due with respect to such Transaction in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If Buyer chooses to purchase the Service Payments under the applicable Contract, the Assignment Agreement shall specify that such Service Payments have been purchased by Buyer.
3.2. Credit Submission. In each instance in which Omnicell invites Buyer to make an offer to purchase a Transaction hereunder, Omnicell will, or shall cause a prospective Customer to, furnish Buyer with a completed Application in order for Buyer to make a credit determination. All information and materials furnished to Buyer shall be held strictly confidential and shall be used by Buyer solely for the purpose of making a decision whether or not to offer to purchase the Transaction.
7
3.3. Credit Decision. Buyer shall review each Application upon receipt and either approve (which approval shall constitute an offer to enter into a Transaction) or reject it, and shall notify Omnicell: (a) of its determination, and (b) if Buyer has approved such Transaction, as to whether Buyer will provide pass-through service billing in accordance with Section 5.7 or purchase the applicable Service Payments. Buyer shall attempt to approve or decline an Application, classify each prospective Customer and notify Omnicell of its decision within: (i) two (2) business days after receipt of a complete Application in the case of any proposed Transaction in which the proposed Purchase Price does not exceed $2,000,000, and (ii) a reasonable time (not to exceed five (5) days) after receipt of a complete Application in the case of any proposed Transaction in which the proposed Purchase Price exceeds $2,000,000. Upon notification, Omnicell shall advise the prospective Customer of the approval or rejection of the Application.
3.4. Credit Rejection. If the Application has been rejected, then upon request of Omnicell, Buyer shall return to Omnicell all credit information and materials furnished by Omnicell, and shall, upon the prospective Customer’s request, provide Customer with an explanation as to why the credit has been denied in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act. Buyer is not a credit reporting agency and consequently Omnicell agrees that any details provided to substantiate Buyer’s reason(s) for rejection of a specific proposed transaction represent strictly Buyer’s opinion of the credit and financial risk(s) involved in the proposed transaction, and not statements of fact. Omnicell agrees to keep all such details and statements of opinion strictly confidential, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Buyer agrees to provide to any such proposed Customer any notice required by the Federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act.
3.5. Credit Approval. If the Application has been approved by Buyer, then, subject to acceptance of Buyer’s offer by Omnicell in its sole discretion, either Omnicell or Buyer shall arrange for delivery to, and completion by the Customer of, the Final Document Package and for the subsequent delivery of the Final Document Package to Buyer. A credit approval shall be valid for a period of ninety (90) days after the date Buyer notifies Omnicell of its approval of such Transaction (the “Documentation Period”).
3.6. Revocation Rights After Approval. At any time prior to payment of the Purchase Price, Buyer may revoke its agreement to enter into a Transaction or to purchase the related Equipment and/or finance the license of the related Software, and may transfer to Omnicell any right, title or interest which it acquired in such Transaction or System if (i) Buyer does not receive the Final Document Package from the Customer within the Documentation Period); or (ii) prior to Buyer’s receipt of the Final Document Package from the Customer or payment of the Purchase Price, Buyer determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that an Event of Cancellation has occurred. Upon revocation of its agreement to enter into a Transaction or to purchase the related Equipment and/or finance the license of the related Software, Buyer shall have no further liability to the Customer or to Omnicell in connection with such proposed Transaction.
3.7. Acceptance Certificate. Omnicell shall provide Buyer with a certified copy of the Customer acceptance certificate duly executed by the Customer indicating its unconditional acceptance for each item of Equipment within 90 days of the date on which Buyer pays the Purchase Price for the related Transaction; provided, however, that if Omnicell does not provide Buyer with such duly executed certified copy of the Customer acceptance certificate for each item of Equipment within 90 days of the date on which Buyer pays the Purchase Price, then, for each affected item of Equipment, Omnicell agrees , at Buyer’s request, to repurchase the Assigned Payments and related Equipment for a price equal to the sum of the amount paid by Buyer for such Assigned Payments
8
plus interest on such amount calculated at an interest rate equal to the rate set forth in Section C of Exhibit C hereto. In the event of such purchase of Assigned Payments and Equipment by Omnicell, Buyer shall make to Omnicell no representations or warranties as to the sale of such Assigned Payments and Equipment except that Buyer shall represent and warrant that it is conveying to Omnicell the title to such Assigned Payments and Equipment that it received from Omnicell, that there are no liens or encumbrances respecting such Assigned Payments or Equipment in favor of any person claiming by, through or under Buyer, and that no act or omission of Buyer has adversely affected the amount, timing of payment, or collectibility of the Assigned Payments unless disclosed in writing by Buyer to Omnicell and as to which the parties have agreed to a price adjustment to the repurchase price for the Assigned Payments. Upon delivery to Buyer of a duly executed certified copy of the Customer acceptance certificate for an item of Equipment, a true sale of the Assigned Rental Payments related to such item of Equipment shall be deemed to have occurred.
4. ASSIGNMENT AND PURCHASE OF TRANSACTIONS
4.1. Limited Recourse to Omnicell. Each Party agrees that each sale of Assigned Rental Payments covered by this Agreement is, and shall in all cases be treated as, a true sale and not as a loan. Except as expressly provided in Sections 3.7, 10.1 and 12.2, Assigned Rental Payments shall be sold and assigned hereunder without recourse to Omnicell. Buyer hereby assumes all risk of the Customer’s failure to make Assigned Rental Payments, due to bankruptcy, insolvency, or other financial inability to pay.
4.2. Final Document Package Delivery. As soon as practicable after Buyer’s approval of a proposed Transaction, the Final Document Package shall be delivered to the office designated by Buyer. Upon receipt of the Final Document Package, Buyer shall immediately examine all documents submitted and shall promptly advise Omnicell of existing deficiencies, if any.
4.3. Standard Rates. Buyer shall have no obligation to enter into any Transaction, including, without limitation, any Transaction that provides for a rate different from the then current Standard Rate (or any special rate previously approved by Buyer in writing). With respect to Transactions approved by Buyer, Buyer shall honor all Standard Rate quotations by Omnicell that predate the effective date of a new Standard Rate, provided that a Final Document Package is received by Buyer prior to the date of such new quotation. Standard Rates shall be effective upon notice to Omnicell. All Standard Rates that apply to Transactions that are intended to be true leases for federal income tax purposes shall expire on December 31 of each year, unless otherwise indicated in writing by Buyer
4.4. Equipment Title and Warranties.
(a) Omnicell (i) consents to the assignment from a Customer to Buyer of any purchase order for Equipment represented in a Transaction hereto; (ii) consents to assignment by Buyer to such Customer of all warranty rights in connection with the Equipment related to such Transaction and acknowledges that Buyer intends to permit the Customer to enforce such warranty rights in the Customer’s name provided a Contract Default has not occurred, (iii) acknowledges that it has transferred to the applicable Customer all warranty rights in connection with the Software related to such Transaction, (iv) shall, upon the acceptance of the related System by the applicable Customer, deliver to Buyer a properly executed Assignment Agreement and a certified copy of the acceptance certificate. Omnicell and Buyer hereby agree that (i) any transfer to Buyer, with respect to any Transaction, of title to the Equipment (a “Title Transfer”) is for the sole purpose of
9
facilitating Buyer’s billing and collecting of property taxes with respect to such Equipment, (ii) the Title Transfer together with the corresponding option of Omnicell to repurchase such Equipment as set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.3, the formula for distribution of remarketing proceeds under Section 8.5, and the formula for distribution of insurance proceeds under Section 4.8, are intended to convey to Buyer a security interest in such Equipment to secure payment to Buyer of the Net Book Value of such Transaction, and (iii) Buyer does not have any interest in the residual value of the Equipment after payment to Buyer of the applicable Net Book Value. In the event Omnicell is audited by a taxing authority with respect to any taxes paid by Buyer pursuant to the terms of this paragraph, Omnicell agrees to hold Buyer and each Customer harmless from and against any such tax liability and shall not assert any claims against Buyer or Customer for reimbursement of the same to the extent that Buyer can specifically show that such taxes were already paid by Buyer and the Customer.
(b) The parties intend for each Transaction to be a true sale upon Buyer’s receipt of a certified copy of a duly executed acceptance certificate for the Equipment under such Transaction and not a loan by Buyer to Omnicell. To the extent that any Transaction is deemed to be a secured financing, Omnicell grants to Buyer a security interest in the Assigned Rental Payments and the Equipment (and the proceeds of each) subject to each Transaction to secure the payment of the Net Book Value for such Transaction and authorizes Buyer to file financing statement(s) to perfect such security interest; provided, however, that Buyer shall provide Omnicell with a reasonable opportunity to review and approve such financing statement(s) prior to the filing of such financing statement(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may file a financing statement against Omnicell noting the sale of Transactions hereunder without the approval of or notice to Omnicell, except that such financing statements shall be in substantially the form sent by Buyer to Omnicell and approved by Omnicell prior to execution of this Agreement.
4.5. Risk of Loss. Omnicell will bear all risk of loss to the System until the date of its acceptance by the Customer. In the event any Customer returns or fails to accept any part of the System for any reason whatsoever prior to the date on which Buyer pays the Purchase Price to Omnicell, Buyer may assign its rights to Omnicell (and Omnicell shall be required to accept such assignment) and Buyer will thereafter have no further liability to Omnicell or to such Customer with regards to the particular Transaction.
4.6. Payment of Purchase Price. Provided that Buyer has not revoked its approval of a Transaction pursuant to Section 3.6 above, Buyer will fund the applicable Transaction by paying Omnicell the applicable Purchase Price within five (5) business days (or such other period as the parties mutually agree in writing) following receipt by Buyer of the Final Document Package. Upon payment of the Purchase Price by Buyer, Buyer shall be deemed to have received the Final Document Package in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer.
4.7. Limitation on Acceptance of Transaction. The purchase by Buyer of any Transaction hereunder shall not constitute or be deemed an assumption or acceptance by Buyer or an imposition on Buyer of any representation, warranty, obligation, covenant, liability or duty of Omnicell, or of any manufacturer or supplier of the Equipment, under the Transaction or any other agreement relating to the Transaction or the Equipment.
4.8. Proceeds of Insurance. Omnicell and Buyer agree that any proceeds of insurance on the Equipment shall be paid (a) first to Buyer, in an amount up to the Net Book Value of the affected
10
Equipment determined as of the date of the casualty to such Equipment, and (b) second to Omnicell, in the amount of any surplus over the applicable Net Book Value.
4.9. Perfection of a Contract. Omnicell shall provide Buyer with a copy of each Contract containing a complete description of the Equipment subject thereto, prior to or within five (5) days of the delivery date of the first item comprising the System to a Customer with respect to any Transaction. Buyer shall then file a UCC-1 Financing Statement against the Customer with respect to the System (which UCC-1 will provide Buyer with a first priority security interest in the System or Buyer shall have obtained lien subordination agreements from any creditors of Customer with a conflicting, higher priority interest in the System).
4.10. Lease Extensions; Holdover Rent. This Agreement covers the purchase and sale of Assigned Payments due under the original term of certain Contracts. If within 90 days after the expiration of the original term of a Contract an extension of such Contract is not entered into between the Customer and Omnicell then Buyer may, in its sole discretion, with 30 days prior written notice to Omnicell, cease providing billing and collection services with respect to such Contract, without any cost or penalty to Buyer whatsoever. If a Customer extends a Contract beyond its original term, Buyer shall have no interest in the Payments payable for the extension unless such Payments are specifically purchased hereunder. Nothing in this Section 4.10 is intended to obligate Buyer to continue to provide billing and collection services with respect to any Contract that is extended beyond its original term but where such extension is not financed by Buyer.
5. COLLECTION AND ADMINISTRATION
5.1. Billing and Collection of Assigned Payments. Buyer will, at its sole cost and expense, perform all the billing and collection of Assigned Payments due and to become due with respect to the Transactions sold and/or assigned under this Agreement. Buyer shall xxxx Customers and pursue the collection of all amounts due under such Transactions in accordance with its standard billing and collection procedures, but in no case shall Buyer be obligated to take any affirmative steps (including, without limitation, initiation of litigation or any other affirmative collection action(s)) to xxxx or collect any Assigned Payments. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer may, from time-to-time in its sole and absolute discretion, with prior written notice to Omnicell, decline to xxxx or stop billing a Customer for any Assigned Payments, without any cost or penalty to Buyer (but without recourse to Omnicell); provided, however, that if Buyer declines to xxxx or stops billing a Customer for any Assigned Payments, then (i) Buyer shall assign its rights in the affected Equipment to Omnicell for $1 and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer shall not have any recourse to Omnicell for any such Assigned Payments and Omnicell shall not be obligated to service any such Assigned Payments on Buyer’s behalf. In the event of such purchase of Equipment by Omnicell, Buyer shall make to Omnicell no representations or warranties as to the sale of such Equipment except that Buyer shall represent and warrant that it is conveying to Omnicell the title to such Equipment that it received from Omnicell, that there are no liens or encumbrances respecting such Equipment in favor of any person claiming by, through or under Buyer.
5.2. Deposit of Checks. Omnicell hereby authorizes Buyer to deposit in its account all checks and collections delivered to Buyer in the name of, or payable to, Omnicell and representing funds due to Buyer in connection with any Transaction.
11
5.3. Reporting. Buyer shall provide Omnicell with quarterly reports detailing: (i) Application activity, (ii) volume of funded Transactions, (iii) approved Transaction backlog, (iv) delinquencies under the Program and (v) quote activity.
5.4. Enforcement. Omnicell agrees to cooperate with Buyer in the enforcement of its rights under any Transaction, including but not limited to support in litigation or other proceedings (at the reasonable request and expense of Buyer) pertaining to or arising out of any such Transaction; provided however, Omnicell shall not be required to itself take any legal action or to commence any legal proceeding against the Customer.
5.5. No Modification After Assignment. Except as contemplated by Sections 6.2 and 6.3 and by Service Agreements of Omnicell, Omnicell shall have no right or authority to, and will not, without the prior written consent of Buyer, (i) repossess or consent to the return of any Equipment or (ii) modify the terms of any Transaction, if such modification would adversely affect Buyer’s rights and remedies with respect to the Assigned Payments.
5.6. Repurchase of Transactions by Omnicell. In the event Omnicell repurchases any Transaction pursuant to this Agreement, Buyer shall reassign the Transaction to Omnicell and its title to or security interest in the related Equipment as is, where is, without representations or warranties, other than that the Equipment is free of all liens and encumbrances attributable to Buyer. All documents, instruments, and other information on such repurchased Transaction that Omnicell gave or provided Buyer with respect to the Customer shall be returned upon request.
5.7. Pass-Through Service Billing.
(a) This Section 5.7 shall apply to Transactions only to the extent that Buyer has not purchased the Service Payments under the applicable Contracts. With respect to each Service Agreement which relates to Equipment under a Lease Supplement with respect to which Rental Payments have been assigned to Buyer hereunder, Omnicell shall retain the right to receive the related Service Payments but Buyer will, as an accommodation to Omnicell, xxxx the applicable Customer for such Service Payments as provided for herein. Prior to Buyer undertaking such Service Payment billing, Omnicell shall provide Buyer with a complete and accurate description of the amount and frequency of the Service Payments to be billed. Buyer will remit to Omnicell on a monthly basis the Service Payments collected provided that Buyer shall be entitled to deduct therefrom any or all amounts then due Buyer from Omnicell, but Buyer shall not be entitled to deduct therefrom any amounts owing to Buyer from Customers.
(b) Provided that no Contract Default has occurred and is continuing, in the event that any Customer makes a payment to Buyer for amounts owed with respect to either or both of Assigned Rental Payments and related Service Payments, and the amount recovered (the “Amount Recovered”) is insufficient to cover amounts then owing with respect to either or both of Assigned Rental Payments and such related Service Payments, then the portion of the Amount Recovered which is attributable to Assigned Rental Payments shall be payable to Buyer and the amount of the Amount Recovered which is attributable to Service Payments shall be paid to Omnicell; provided that if it can not be reasonably determined whether the Amount Recovered is attributable to Assigned Rental Payments or Service Payments because the Customer has not made the payment with reference to a particular invoice that relates only to Assigned Rental Payments or Service Payments or the Customer has not otherwise specified to what the payment is to be applied, then (except as otherwise required by law) Buyer shall pay over to Omnicell, Omnicell’s Pro Rata
12
Share. “Pro Rata Share” shall mean an amount equal to the Amount Recovered multiplied by: (i) in the case of Omnicell, a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the amount of all Service Payments then due under the applicable Service Agreement and (B) the denominator of which is the sum of all Service Payments then due under the applicable Service Agreement and the Assigned Rental Payments then due under applicable Contract, and (ii) in the case of Buyer, a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the sum of all Assigned Rental Payments then due under the applicable Contract and the denominator of which is the sum of all Service Payments then due under the applicable Service Agreement and the Assigned Rental Payments then due under applicable Contract.
(c) Other than sending regular, periodic bills to the Customer in accordance with the express terms of the Service Agreement, Buyer shall not be required to take any affirmative steps to collect any Service Payments. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 5.7 to the contrary, with respect to any given Service Agreement(s), Buyer may, from time-to-time in its sole discretion, with prior written notice to Omnicell, decline to provide or cease providing such billing services, without any cost or penalty to Buyer whatsoever.
(d) Omnicell shall, upon demand, reimburse, indemnify, save and hold harmless Buyer, it affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, shareholders, directors, officers, agents, employees, attorneys, successors and assigns (each an “Billing Indemnified Party”), for, from and against any and all third-party claims, demands, actions, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, fines costs and expenses (including without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees) (collectively, “Billing Claims”) made against or incurred by a Billing Indemnified Party, directly or indirectly, which result from Buyer’s billing and/or collection of the Service Payments provided such billing and collection is performed in a manner consistent with this Section 5.7; provided further, however, that Omnicell shall not be required to indemnify Buyer for any Billing Claims arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of Buyer. Buyer shall not be responsible for any indirect, incidental or consequential liabilities, losses, injuries or cost, claims, demands, actions or damages (including without limitation lost profits) incurred as a result of, or relating, directly or indirectly, to, Buyer’s failure to perform in accordance with this subsection. This subsection shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
6. END OF TERM, EXTENSIONS AND UPGRADES, EARLY TERMINATION
6.1. End of Term. Upon a Transaction reaching its end-of-term, provided that Buyer has been paid the applicable Net Book Value of such Transaction determined as of the end of the term of such Transaction, Omnicell shall have the option to purchase the Equipment from Buyer on an “as-is where-is” basis for One Dollar ($1.00). Buyer makes no representations or warranties as to the condition of the Equipment, other than that the Equipment will be free of all liens and encumbrances attributable to Buyer.
6.2. Extensions and Upgrades (Rollovers). If, prior to the end of the initial term of a Contract, a Customer wishes to extend the term of its existing Contract (an “Extension”), which extension may or may not include new Equipment and/or new Software that offers new capabilities (as opposed to an updated version of existing capabilities) (an “Upgrade”), Omnicell shall request, and Buyer shall provide, the Net Book Value for a Customer buy-out of the Assigned Rental Payments together with the remaining Assigned Service Payments discounted at the Standard Rate
13
under the particular Contract. Omnicell will then offer to Buyer the proposed new Transaction for approval and acceptance in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement. All proposed Extension or Upgrade Transactions submitted hereunder will have a Purchase Price that exceeds the Net Book Value of the original Transaction. Upon acceptance by Buyer of the new Transaction involving an Extension and/or Upgrade, the original Transaction shall be deemed cancelled without application of any Penalty for Early Termination, and the new Transaction shall be deemed to have replaced, in total, such original Transaction, and the amount due to Omnicell for the new Transaction involving an Extension and/or Upgrade shall be the new Purchase Price less the Net Book Value of the original Transaction determined as of the date of the new Transaction and less the Repurchase Price of any remaining Assigned Service Payments related thereto. If for any reason Buyer rejects funding of the new Transaction involving an Extension and/or Upgrade then Buyer shall notify Omnicell of the decline, and Buyer shall permit the Customer to terminate the original Transaction(s) without penalty, upon Customer’s payment to Buyer of the then current Net Book Value of such original Transaction, together with payment by Omnicell of the Repurchase Price with respect to any remaining Assigned Service Payments related thereto. In each case, upon receipt of the Repurchase Price, Buyer will pass title to the Remaining Unearned Payments to Omnicell free and clear of all liens attributable to Buyer, and reassign any financing statements related thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Omnicell will not agree with a Customer to terminate a Contract prior to the expiration of its original term in order to take advantage of lower interest rates.
6.3. Early Termination. If any Customer notifies a Party hereto that it wishes to terminate a Contract prior to the end of the initial term of such Contract, other than in connection with an Extension and/or Upgrade, such Party shall notify the other Party of the Customer’s request. Following such notification, Buyer shall permit the Customer to terminate the applicable Contract upon (i) the expiration of a thirty (30) day notice period and (ii) the payment to Buyer of an amount equal to the Net Book Value of the applicable Transaction as of the date of termination, plus the Penalty for Early Termination, plus the Repurchase Price of any remaining Assigned Service Payments related thereto. Upon any termination of a Contract hereunder and provided that Buyer has received the Net Book Value of the applicable Transaction determined as of the date of termination plus the Penalty for Early Termination plus the Repurchase Price with respect to any remaining Assigned Service Payments related thereto, Omnicell shall have the option to purchase the Equipment from Buyer on an “as-is where-is” basis for One Dollar ($1.00). Buyer makes no representations or warranties as to the condition of the Equipment, other than that the Equipment will be free of all liens and encumbrances attributable to Buyer. Upon receipt of the Repurchase Price, Buyer will pass title to such Remaining Unearned Payments to Omnicell free and clear of all liens attributable to Buyer, and reassign any financing statements related thereto.
7. CUSTOMER DEFAULTS
7.1. Service Default.
(a) If a Customer alleges a Service Default with respect to a Transaction which includes the sale of Service Payments to Buyer, then Buyer shall promptly give Omnicell written notice of such alleged Service Default. For a period of thirty (30) days from the date of such notice (the “Investigation Period”) (i) Buyer shall attempt to collect all Assigned Service Payments owed by the applicable Customer to Buyer under the defaulted Contract related to such alleged Service Default, and (ii) Omnicell shall have the right to investigate the alleged Service Default and, if Omnicell determines such allegation to be valid, to cure any and all Service Defaults. If at the expiration of such
14
Investigation Period, Buyer has been unable to collect such payments, Buyer shall so notify Omnicell in writing (a “Notice of Continuing Nonpayment”).
(b) If, prior to expiration of the applicable Investigation Period with respect to each Service Default, Omnicell has either (A) cured such Service Default or (B) provided Buyer with satisfactory (determined in Buyer’s reasonable discretion) evidence that Customer’s Service Default allegation is invalid, then Omnicell shall not be required to pay to Buyer any amounts relating to such Service Default under this Section 7.1. If, however, Omnicell is unable to either cure such Service Default or refute Customer’s Service Default allegation, then upon receipt of such Notice of Continuing Nonpayment, Omnicell shall, as Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy for such Service Default, do one of the following:
(i) In any case where the Service Agreement will remain in effect with the Customer, Omnicell shall cure the Service Default by paying to Buyer, within thirty (30) days of the expiration of the Investigation Period, the accrued and unpaid Assigned Service Payments due under such Service Agreement as of the date of Buyer’s Notice of Continuing Non-Payment (“Past Due Payments”), or
(ii) In any case whereby the Customer has terminated the Service Agreement prior to the expiration of the stated term of such Service Agreement, Omnicell shall repurchase the Past Due Payments and the Remaining Unearned Payments (defined below) from Buyer for a purchase price equal to the Repurchase Price (defined below). Upon receipt of the Repurchase Price, Buyer will pass title to such Past Due Payments and Remaining Unearned Payments to Omnicell free and clear of all liens attributable to Buyer, and reassign any financing statements related thereto. “Repurchase Price” means the sum of: (1) the Past Due Payments and (2) the Remaining Unearned Payments, with each such Remaining Unearned Payment discounted to its present value from the date thereof to the date of the repurchase by Omnicell at the applicable Standard Rate. “Remaining Unearned Payments” means Assigned Service Payments scheduled to become due during the remainder of the term of the Service Agreements to the extent that: (A) such payments would have come due if not for the early termination of the applicable Service Agreement, (B) such payments have not been paid by Customer as of the date of such repurchase by Omnicell, and (C) Omnicell is no longer obligated to perform the obligations relating to such payments.
7.2. Contract Default. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree there shall be no recourse to Omnicell for any Contract Defaults; however, provided that Buyer has made the applicable Equipment legally available for repossession by Omnicell, in the event of a Contract Default, Omnicell agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain possession of the System (with the assistance of Buyer where appropriate) for the benefit of Buyer. Omnicell shall not be required to take any legal action or to commence any legal proceeding against the Customer to obtain possession. If possession of the Equipment is obtained under this Section, Omnicell shall, at the request of Buyer, act on behalf of Buyer in storing, repairing and remarketing the Equipment in accordance with the terms of Section 8 below.
7.3. Customer Bankruptcy. If the Equipment cannot be made legally available due to a Customer’s Event of Bankruptcy, and a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the value of the System is less than the value determined by Buyer, or the net present value of the payments approved by such court may be less than the Net Book Value (determined as of the date of default) of such
15
defaulted Transaction, Buyer shall notify Omnicell of any relevant court proceeding of which Buyer receives notice at which the value of the System may be discussed, and may appear at such proceeding and submit evidence relating to the value of the System. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Omnicell shall not be required to repurchase any Assigned Rental Payments or Assigned Service Payments under any Transaction, which Assigned Rental Payments or Assigned Service Payments Buyer is unable to collect due to the insolvency, bankruptcy, or financial inability to pay of any Customer.
8. REMARKETING ASSISTANCE
8.1. Agreement to Remarket. Upon any repossession by Buyer of Equipment, Buyer shall promptly deliver such Equipment to Omnicell. In order to allow Omnicell to control the aftermarket for its Equipment and in an attempt to obtain reasonable proceeds from Equipment related to a Contract Default in order to protect Omnicell’s residual interest in the Equipment, Omnicell shall remarket such Equipment on behalf of Buyer as provided below. Omnicell shall have the exclusive right, and the obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts, to remarket the Equipment on a non-discriminatory, non-priority basis during the Remarketing Period in accordance with the remarketing guidelines set forth in Sections 8.4 below.
8.2. Appraisal. Omnicell shall appraise the Equipment and advise Buyer in writing of its best estimate of the Equipment’s market value in an “as is/where is” condition. Additionally, Omnicell shall promptly provide Buyer with a written estimate of its costs of repair, refurbishment, Software upgrade, insurance and remarketing (“Out-Of-Pocket Costs”). If Buyer does not approve such Out-Of-Pocket Costs, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Omnicell shall have a right of first refusal to purchase the Equipment for an amount equal to the Net Book Value determined as of the date of the applicable Contract Default. If Omnicell does not exercise such purchase option within 10 days after written notice of a decision by Buyer to not approve the Out-of-Pocket Costs, Omnicell shall, at Buyer’s reasonable expense, promptly cause the Equipment to be crated and safely delivered to a location selected by Buyer.
8.3. Repairs. If Buyer approves the Out-Of-Pocket Costs, Omnicell shall repair and refurbish the System, including replacing the existing Software configuration with its most recent available Software upgrades (if necessary), and attempt to remarket the System as set forth below. Buyer shall not be obligated to pay actual Out-Of-Pocket Costs that exceed the estimated Out-Of-Pocket Costs by more than 10%.
8.4. Manner of Remarketing. During the ninety (90) day Remarketing Period, Omnicell shall:
(a) use commercially reasonable efforts to remarket the System on a non-discriminatory, non-priority basis, as compared to substantially similar used equipment and software owned by Omnicell or owned by another party to whom Omnicell may be bound to provide remarketing assistance (except that Omnicell shall not be required to market the Equipment to any third party that would not be the end-user of such Equipment, and Buyer acknowledges that Omnicell in the ordinary course of its business will be engaged in the marketing of other equipment and such activity shall not be a breach of any duty or warranty of Omnicell as contained herein);
(b) make available maintenance service to any subsequent purchaser or lessee of the Equipment and licensee of the Software at Omnicell’s then current market rates;
16
(c) grant a valid license to the Software to any subsequent purchaser or lessee of the Equipment upon such purchaser’s or lessee’s acceptance of Omnicell’s standard software license agreement;
(d) not permit any lien or encumbrance to attach to the System by or through Omnicell, and will waive any right or claim to the Equipment which may arise in connection with its remarketing services;
(e) warrant that the System that is delivered to customers will be in good working order, condition and repair, conforming to specifications according to Omnicell’s current warranty policy for used equipment and will meet all applicable governmental standards; and
(f) not agree to any sales price or lease terms without Buyer’s prior approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
8.5. Distribution of Remarketing Proceeds. If a buyer or new lessee is obtained by Omnicell or Buyer, the Remarketing Proceeds shall be distributed as follows:
(a) first to the recovery by Omnicell of the costs and expenses of repossession, remarketing and reconditioning the Equipment as directed by Buyer but not previously paid to Omnicell by Buyer;
(b) then to Buyer for recovery of its Net Book Value (determined as of the date of the applicable Contract Default) of the Transaction; and
(c) last, the remainder, if any, to Omnicell.
8.6. Unsuccessful Remarketing. In Transactions involving Equipment, if the Equipment has been made legally available for repossession and Omnicell has been unable to remarket the System during the Remarketing Period, Omnicell shall return the Equipment to Buyer who may remarket it and retain all proceeds from any resulting sale (unless the Transaction does not constitute a lease, in which case any proceeds received by Buyer that exceed the applicable Net Book Value (determined as of the date of the applicable Contract Default) shall be remitted to the applicable Customer or as otherwise required by law).

Such information shall not be considered confidential if (i) it is already in the public domain, or (ii) it is obtained from an independent source (unless such independent source is known by the recipient to be legally bound to refrain from such disclosure), or (iii) it is independently developed by the receiving party without reference to the confidential information, as demonstrated by the receiving party’s files and records immediately prior to the date of disclosure. The Parties will fulfill their obligations hereunder if they exercise the same degree of care to preserve and safeguard such confidential information as they use to preserve and safeguard their own confidential information, but no less than “reasonable care.” The Parties may disclose confidential information to their respective affiliates, and confidential information relating to specific Transactions may be disclosed by Buyer to its representatives and agents, in the event that such Transactions are referred for collection, and to any purchaser or administrator, in the event that such Transactions are syndicated or securitized, provided that the receiving party agrees to be bound by the terms hereof in writing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit disclosure of confidential information that is required by law, so long as the disclosing party, so far as practicable, consults with the other party prior to such disclosure and takes such steps as the other party may reasonably request to mitigate the effect of such disclosure.
13.4. Notices. All notices, consents, requests, instructions, approvals and communications provided herein shall be validly given, made or served, effective only if in writing, except as otherwise provided herein, and sent by (i) U.S. registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, and return receipt requested, (ii) a nationally recognized overnight delivery; or (iii) electronic facsimile (promptly confirmed in writing) to the other Party at the address and/or facsimile number first stated above, or to such other address and/or facsimile number as such party may designate in writing.
13.5. Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, other than any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction, as such laws apply to contracts between California residents performed entirely within California. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement.
13.6. Venue. Any action or proceeding arising from or relating to this Agreement must may be brought in a federal court in the Northern District of California or in state court in Santa Xxxxx County,
22
California, and each party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction and venue of any such court in any such action or proceeding.
13.7. Severability. If any part of this Agreement shall be contrary to any law which either party might seek to apply or enforce or should otherwise be defective, the other provisions hereof shall not be affected thereby but shall continue in full force and effect, to which end they are hereby declared severable.
13.8. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be used to interpret or construe this Agreement.
13.9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be considered an original, but all of which together will constitute the same instrument.
13.10. Entirety; Amendments. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits, Riders, Schedules and addenda referred to herein, constitute the entire agreement between Buyer and Omnicell as to the subject matter contemplated herein, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating thereto.
