AGREEMENT
1. Definitions.
(a) | “Ambulatory Surgery Center” means a building that is used primarily to provide outpatient surgical services to patients not requiring hospitalization. |
(b) | “Imaging Center” means a building that is used primarily to provide x-ray, computed tomography (CT or CAT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), fluoroscopy, radiography, ultrasound, mammography or other imaging services. |
(c) | “Medical Office Building” shall mean a building that is used primarily by physicians to examine and consult with patients. The following facilities shall not be considered Medical Office Buildings: Ambulatory Surgery Centers, Imaging Centers, rehabilitation centers, long term acute care hospitals or specialty hospitals. |
(d) | All other terms that are capitalized but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in this Agreement. |
2. Right of First Offer to Purchase. Offeror hereby grants to Offeree a right of first offer to purchase any ROFO Facility in accordance with the following:
(a) Offeror hereby agrees that neither Offeror nor any Affiliate thereof shall enter into any agreement with any third party for the purchase and/or sale of any ROFO Facility without first offering Offeree the right to purchase the ROFO Facility. If Offeror or any Affiliate thereof proposes to sell a ROFO Facility, Offeror or such Affiliate shall deliver notice thereof to Offeree (an “ROFO Notice”), which ROFO Notice shall set forth the material business terms of such proposal including, without limitation, Offeror’s or such Affiliate’s proposed sales price, the square footage of the ROFO Facility, the terms of any leases associated with the ROFO Facility, the proposed due diligence period, the proposed closing date, any deposit requirements, and other principal business terms. Offeree shall have the option (an “ROFO Facility Option”) to purchase the ROFO Facility, which Offeree shall exercise by delivering irrevocable notice to Offeror or Offeror’s Affiliate, as applicable (an “Acceptance Notice”), within ten (10) Business Days of the giving of the ROFO Notice, along with an agreement of sale to purchase the ROFO Facility, containing the operative terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2. The form of agreement shall be substantially similar to that which Offeree has previously negotiated with Offeror.
(b) If Offeree declines or fails to exercise its right of first offer within the period provided in Section 2(a) above (such failure being deemed a waiver of any such right), then Offeror or Offeror’s Affiliate, as applicable, shall thereafter be free to offer for sale (and sell) the ROFO Facility upon terms similar to those set forth in the ROFO Notice. However, if Offeror or such Affiliate is subsequently willing to sell the ROFO Facility on terms which are materially different from that set forth in the ROFO Notice, then Offeror or such Affiliate shall provide Offeree with a revised ROFO Notice in accordance with the terms of this Section 2 and Offeree shall have all of the same rights as set forth herein, except that Offeree must deliver an Acceptance Notice within five (5) Business Days of the giving of such revised ROFO Notice. Time shall be of the essence as to Offeree’s giving of any Acceptance Notice. The terms upon which Offeror or Offeror’s Affiliate, as applicable, is willing to sell the ROFO Facility shall be deemed materially different if the net effective sales proceeds shall be more than three percent (3%) less than the net effective sales proceeds set forth in the ROFO Notice.
3. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence as of the date hereof and expire on the third (3rd) anniversary of the date of this Agreement.

4. Notices. Any notices or other communications permitted or required to be given hereunder shall be in writing, shall be delivered (a) personally, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered upon receipt or refusal of delivery, (b) by reputable overnight delivery service, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered on the date of deposit with such courier, or (c) by fax, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered upon the mechanical confirmation of delivery, and shall be addressed to the respective party as set forth in this Section 3. Notices on behalf of the respective parties may be given by their attorneys and such notices shall have the same effect as if in fact subscribed by the party on whose behalf it is given.
