The Notes (and the related Guarantees) will be offered and sold through the Initial Purchasers without being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to qualified institutional buyers in compliance with the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”).

(b) The Initial Purchasers shall have received an opinion, dated the Closing Date, of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, Counsel for the Initial Purchasers, with respect to the issuance and sale of the Notes and such other related matters as the Initial Purchasers may reasonably require, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as it may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling it to pass upon such matters. In rendering such opinion, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP shall have received and may rely upon such certificates and other documents and information as it may reasonably request to pass upon such matters.
(c) The Initial Purchasers shall have received on each of the date hereof and the Closing Date a letter, dated the date hereof or the Closing Date, as the case may be, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers and Counsel for the Initial Purchasers, from Ernst & Young LLP and Deloitte & Co. S.R.L., independent registered public accounting firms, respectively, containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters. The comfort letter to be provided by Xxxxx & Young LLP will be issued with respect to the historical consolidated financial statements of Radiation Therapy Services Holdings, Inc. and certain financial information contained in the Offering Memorandum, and their procedures shall extend to financial information in the Final Memorandum not contained in the Preliminary Memorandum. The comfort letter to be provided by Deloitte & Co. S.R.L. will be issued with respect to the combined special-purpose financial statements of the operating entities of Medical Developers LLC and their procedures shall extend to financial information in the Final Memorandum not contained in the Preliminary Memorandum. In both letters they shall include a “cut-off date” within five business days of the date of such letter. References to the Offering Memorandum in this paragraph (c) with respect to either letter referred to above shall include any amendment or supplement thereto at the date of such letter.
(d) (i) None of the Company nor any of its subsidiaries nor any other Guarantor, shall have sustained, since the date of the latest audited historical consolidated financial statements included in the Offering Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), any loss or interference with their respective businesses or properties from fire, explosion, flood, accident or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree (whether domestic or foreign) otherwise than as set forth in the Offering Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto); and (ii) since the respective dates as of which information is given in each Memorandum, there shall not have been any
change in the capital stock or long-term debt of the Company and its subsidiaries or any other Guarantor, or any change in or effect on or any development having a prospective change in or effect on the business, operations, properties, assets, liabilities, stockholders’ equity, earnings, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations or management of the Company and its subsidiaries or any other Guarantor, whether or not in the ordinary course of business, otherwise than as set forth in each such Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), the effect of which, in any such case described in clause (i) or (ii), is, in the sole judgment of Xxxxx Fargo, so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to market the Notes on the terms and in the manner described in the Offering Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).
(e) None of the information set forth in the sections of the Offering Memorandum entitled “Use of Proceeds”, “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” and “Business—Government Regulation” shall have changed, if the effect of any such change, individually or in the aggregate, in the sole judgment of Xxxxx Fargo makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or the delivery of the Notes on the terms and in the manner described in the Offering Memorandum, exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto.
(f) The Initial Purchasers shall have received a certificate, dated the Closing Date and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers, of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company as to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors in this Agreement at and as of the Closing Date; that the Company and the Guarantors have performed all covenants and agreements and satisfied all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Date; and as to the matters set forth in Sections 6(d) and (e).
(g) Subsequent to the date hereof, there shall not have been any decrease in the rating of the Notes or any of the Company’s other debt securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating agency”, as that term is defined by the Commission for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Securities Act, and no such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review its ratings of the Securities or any of the Company’s other debt securities or any notice or public announcement given of any intended or potential decrease in any such rating or that any such securities rating agency has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of the Notes.
(h) The Notes shall be eligible for clearance and settlement through the Depository Trust Company, Clearstream Banking and the Euroclear System.
(i) The Collateral Agent shall have received, and the Initial Purchasers shall have received, a copy of, each of (i) the Security Agreement, (ii) the Intercreditor Agreement, (iii) UCC financing statements naming the Company and each Guarantor, as applicable, as a debtor and the Collateral Agent as the secured party, in each case, in appropriate
form for filing and (iv) short form security agreements in appropriate form for filing with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and/or United States Copyright Office to the extent required under the terms of the Security Agreement; provided that to the extent any such document or instrument (other than UCC financing statements) is not provided on or prior to the Closing Date after the Company’s use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so, the delivery of such document or instrument shall not constitute a condition precedent to the obligations of the Initial Purchasers to purchase and pay for the Notes as provided herein on the Closing Date but shall be required to be delivered after the Closing Date.
(j) On or prior to the Closing Date, certificates representing all of the capital stock of the Company and its subsidiaries and all promissory notes held by the Company and the Guarantors, to the extent required to be pledged and delivered as Collateral under the Security Documents, shall have been delivered to the Senior Secured Facility Agent, together with any necessary endorsements duly executed in blank.
(k) Subject to any limitations or conditions specified in the Security Documents, the Collateral Agent shall have received reasonably acceptable evidence of payment or arrangements for payment by the Company and the Guarantors of all applicable recording taxes, fees, charges, costs and expenses required for the filings, recordings, registrations and other actions referred to in Section 6(i).
(l) The Initial Purchasers shall have received copies of UCC, United States Patent and Trademark Office and United States Copyright Office, tax and judgment lien searches or equivalent reports or searches, each of a recent date listing all effective financing statements, lien notices or comparable documents that name the Company or any Guarantor as debtor and that are recorded in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office or filed in those state jurisdictions in which the Company or any Guarantor is organized or has its principal place of business, as applicable, and such other searches that are required by the Security Documents.
(m) On or before the Closing Date, the Initial Purchasers and Counsel for the Initial Purchasers shall have received such further certificates, documents or other information as they may have reasonably requested from the Company.
(n) On or before the Closing Date, the Company shall enter into the Senior Secured Facility in a manner consistent with the description in the Memorandum.
7. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) The Company and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors, officers and each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) any Initial Purchaser against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses, joint or several, to which such Initial Purchaser or such other person may become subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out
of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Offering Memorandum, any Issuer Written Communication or any amendment or supplement thereto; or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Offering Memorandum, any Issuer Written Communication or any amendment or supplement thereto a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, and will reimburse, as incurred, each Initial Purchaser and each such other person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Initial Purchaser or such other person in connection with investigating, defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company and the Guarantors will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Offering Memorandum, any Issuer Written Communication or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Initial Purchasers through the Representatives specifically for use therein as set forth in Section 11 hereof.
(b) Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantors and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees and each person, if any, who controls any of the Company or the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company, the Guarantors, any such affiliates, directors or officers or such controlling person may become subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Preliminary Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Preliminary Memorandum, or the Offering Memorandum, any Issuer Written Communication or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Initial Purchasers through the Representatives specifically for use therein as set forth in Section 11 hereof and, subject to the limitation set forth immediately preceding this clause, will reimburse as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or the Guarantors or any such affiliates, directors or officers or such controlling person in connection with investigating, defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with, any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof.
(c) Promptly after receipt by any person to whom indemnity may be available under this Section 7 (the “indemnified party”) of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any person from whom indemnity may be sought under this Section 7 (the “indemnifying party”), notify such indemnifying party of the commencement thereof in writing; but the failure so to notify such indemnifying party will (i) not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability under this Section 7 unless and to the extent such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of
substantive rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided under this Section 7. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and such indemnified party notifies the relevant indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, such indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if the named parties in any such action (including impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have concluded, based on advice of outside counsel, that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties and such indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. After notice from an indemnifying party to an indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and approval by such indemnified party of counsel appointed to defend such action, such indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, unless (i) such indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that in connection with such action the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the reasonable expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to one local counsel in any jurisdiction) for any indemnified person in any one action or separate but substantially similar actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances) or (ii) such indemnifying party does not promptly retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party or (iii) such indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for such indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. After such notice from an indemnifying party to an indemnified party, such indemnifying party will not be liable for the costs and expenses of any settlement of such action effected by such indemnified party without the written consent of such indemnifying party. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by (i), (ii) or (iii) of the third sentence of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (x) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (y) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party or any other person that may be entitled to indemnification hereunder is a party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes (i) an unconditional release of the indemnified party and such other persons from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include
a statement as to, or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(d) (i) In circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 7 is unavailable or insufficient, for any reason, to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any action or claim) (or actions in respect thereof) (“Losses”), the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, in order to provide for just and equitable contribution, agree to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses to which the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, may be subject, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is unavailable for any reason, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers from the Company in connection with the purchase of the Notes hereunder as set forth in the Final Memorandum. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, the Guarantors or the Initial Purchasers, the parties’ intent, relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. The Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph (d), no Initial Purchaser shall be obligated to make contributions hereunder that in the aggregate exceed the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Initial Purchaser from the Company in connection with the purchase of the Notes hereunder, and no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers’ respective obligations to contribute hereunder are several in proportion to their respective obligations to purchase Notes as set forth on Schedule I hereto and not joint. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if any, who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each other person listed in Section 7(a) hereof shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each affiliate, director or officer of the Company or any Guarantor and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the Guarantors.
(e) The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Section 7 shall be in addition to any obligations or liabilities which the Company and the Guarantors may otherwise have and the obligations of the respective Initial Purchasers under this Section 7 shall be in addition to any obligations or liabilities which the Initial Purchasers may otherwise have.
8. Survival. The respective representations, warranties, agreements, covenants, indemnities and other statements of the Company and the Guarantors, their respective officers, and the several Initial Purchasers set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company, the Guarantors, their respective officers or directors or any controlling person referred to in Section 7 hereof or any Initial Purchaser and (ii) delivery of and payment for the Notes. The respective agreements, covenants, indemnities and other statements set forth in Sections 5, 7, 8 and 14 hereof shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement.
9. Termination.
(a) The Representatives may terminate this Agreement with respect to the Notes by notice to the Company at any time on or prior to the Closing Date in the event that the Company shall have failed, refused or been unable to perform in any material respect all obligations and satisfy in any material respect all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior thereto or if, at or prior to the Closing Date (i) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ National Market or in the over-the-counter market, or trading in any securities of the Company on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market, shall have been suspended or minimum or maximum prices shall have been established on any such exchange or market; (ii) there has been a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States; (iii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared by New York, North Carolina or United States authorities or (iv) there shall have been (A) an outbreak or escalation of hostilities between the United States and any foreign power, (B) an outbreak or escalation of any other insurrection or armed conflict involving the United States, (C) the occurrence of any other calamity or crisis involving the United States or (D) any change in general economic, political or financial conditions which has an effect on the U.S. financial markets that, in the case of any event described in this clause (iv), in the sole judgment of Xxxxx Fargo, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale and delivery of the Notes as disclosed in the Preliminary Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum, exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto.
(b) Termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9 shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Sections 5 and 7 hereof.
10. Defaulting Initial Purchasers. If, on the Closing Date, any Initial Purchaser defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall be obligated to purchase the Notes that such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase on the Closing Date (the “Remaining Notes”) in the respective proportions that the principal amount of the Notes set opposite the name of each non-defaulting Initial Purchaser in Schedule I hereto bears to the total number of the Notes set opposite
the names of all the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers in Schedule I hereto; provided, however, that the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall not be obligated to purchase any of the Notes on the Closing Date if the total amount of Notes which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase on such date exceeds 10% of the total amount of Notes to be purchased on the Closing Date, and no non-defaulting Initial Purchaser shall be obligated to purchase more than 110% of the amount of Notes that it agreed to purchase on the Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement. If the foregoing maximums are exceeded, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or those other purchasers satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers who so agree, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase, in such proportion as may be agreed upon among them, all the Remaining Notes. If the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers or other Initial Purchasers satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers do not elect to purchase the Remaining Notes, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser or the Company, except that the Company will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses to the extent set forth herein.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve a defaulting Initial Purchaser of any liability it may have to the Company for damages caused by its default. If other purchasers are obligated or agree to purchase the Notes of a defaulting or withdrawing Initial Purchaser, the Company or the Representatives may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes in the Transaction Documents or in any other document or arrangement that, in the opinion of counsel for the Company or Counsel for the Initial Purchasers, may be necessary.
11. Information Supplied by Initial Purchasers. The statements set forth in the second sentence of the second paragraph, the second, fourth and fifth sentences of the third paragraph, the second sentence of the sixth paragraph and the seventh paragraph under the heading “Plan of Distribution” in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Offering Memorandum, to the extent such statements relate to the Initial Purchasers, constitute the only information furnished by the Initial Purchasers to the Company for the purposes of Sections 1(a) and 7 hereof.
12. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and, if sent to any of the Initial Purchasers, shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission and confirmed in writing to Xxxxx Fargo Securities, LLC, 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000-0000, Attention: Xxx Xxxxxx, with a copy to Xxxxxx Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, 00 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx Xxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Xxxx Xxxxxxxx, Esq. and if sent to the Company, shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission and confirmed in writing to the Company at Radiation Therapy Services Holdings, Inc., C/O Vestar Capital Partners V, L.P., 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000-0000, Attention: Xxxxx X. Xxxxx, Xx. with a copy to Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx, 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx.
13. Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the several Initial Purchasers, the Company and the Guarantors and their respective successors and legal representatives, and nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement, or any provisions herein contained, this Agreement
and all conditions and provisions hereof being intended to be and being for the sole and exclusive benefit of the several Initial Purchasers, the Company and the Guarantors and their respective successors and legal representatives, and for the benefit of no other person, except that (i) the indemnities of the Company and the Guarantors contained in Section 7 of this Agreement shall also be for the benefit of any person or persons who control any Initial Purchasers within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and (ii) the indemnities of the Initial Purchasers contained in Section 7 of this Agreement shall also be for the benefit of the affiliates, directors and officers of the Company and the Guarantors, and any person or persons who control the Company or the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act. No purchaser of Notes from any Initial Purchaser shall be deemed a successor to such Initial Purchaser because of such purchase.
14. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
15. Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.
(a) All judicial proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement may be brought in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York, which jurisdiction is exclusive, and the Company and the Guarantors hereby consent to the jurisdiction of such courts.
(b) Each party agrees that any service of process or other legal summons in connection with any Proceeding may be served on it by mailing a copy thereof by registered mail, or a form of mail substantially equivalent thereto, postage prepaid, addressed to the served party at its address as provided for in Section 12 hereof. Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of the parties to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
(c) Each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby waives all right to trial by jury in any proceeding (whether based upon contract, tort or otherwise) in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Each of the Company and the Guarantors agrees that a final judgment in any such proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon it and may be enforced in any other courts in the jurisdiction of which it is or may be subject, by suit upon such judgment.
16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
The remainder of this page is intentionally left blank.
If the foregoing correctly sets forth our understanding, please indicate your acceptance thereof in the space provided below for that purpose, whereupon this letter shall constitute an agreement binding the Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers.

POST-CLOSING MATTERS
(a) 90 days after the Closing Date (or such later date as may be permitted under the Senior Secured Facility), the Company shall deliver to the Collateral Agent each of the following documents, which shall be substantially in the form delivered to the Senior Secured Facility Agent, as appropriate:
(i) Insurance. Policies or certificates of insurance (including evidence of flood insurance, if applicable) covering the property and assets of the Company and the Guarantors, which policies or certificates, including endorsements thereto, shall be substantially in the form delivered by the Company and the Guarantors in connection with the Senior Secured Facility and shall reflect the Collateral Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the Trustee and the holders of the Securities, as additional insured and loss payee and mortgagee, as applicable.
(ii) Mortgages. Fully executed counterparts of the mortgages, deeds of trust or deeds to secure debt in substantially the forms delivered by the Company and the Guarantors under the Senior Secured Facility, with such changes as are reasonably acceptable to the Initial Purchasers and the Collateral Agent evidencing the liens on the real property of the Company and the Guarantors for which a Mortgage is granted under the Senior Secured Facility (each a “Mortgaged Property”) that will secure the Securities, Indenture and Security Documents (the “Mortgages”), together with evidence that counterparts of all the Mortgages have been delivered to the title insurance company for recording in all places to the extent necessary to effectively create a valid and enforceable second priority mortgage lien on the fee or leasehold estate of each Mortgaged Property, as applicable, in favor of the Collateral Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the Trustee and the holders of the Securities, securing the obligations related to the Securities, Indenture and Security Documents (provided that in jurisdictions that impose mortgage recording taxes, such Mortgages shall not secure indebtedness in an amount exceeding the amount secured by the corresponding Mortgage instrument delivered under the Senior Secured Facility, subject to Permitted Liens.
(iii) Title Insurance. With respect to each Mortgage encumbering any held in fee Mortgaged Property, a loan policy of title insurance (or commitment to issue such a policy having the effect of a loan policy of title insurance) insuring (or committing to insure) the lien of such Mortgage as a valid and enforceable second priority mortgage or deed of trust lien on the fee or leasehold estate of the Mortgaged Property described therein, in an amount not less than the amount of the title insurance policy delivered with respect to such Mortgaged Property under the Senior Secured Facility (each such policy, a “Mortgage Policy”) issued by such title insurance company, which reasonably assures the Collateral Agent that the Mortgage on such Mortgaged Property is a valid and enforceable mortgage lien on the Mortgaged Property, free and clear of all defects and encumbrances other than Permitted Liens and the first priority lien which secures the Senior Secured Facility and such Mortgage Policy shall otherwise be in the form
(including endorsements) of the title insurance policy delivered in connection with the Senior Secured Facility.
(iv) Surveys. With respect to each Mortgaged Property, any and all surveys delivered in connection with the Senior Secured Facility with copies to the applicable title insurance company.
(v) Consents. With respect to each Mortgaged Property, such consents, approvals, amendments, supplements, estoppels, tenant subordination agreements or other instruments delivered in connection with the Senior Secured Facility as necessary to consummate the transactions or as shall reasonably be deemed necessary by the Initial Purchasers in order for the owner or holder of the fee or leasehold interest constituting such Mortgaged Property to grant the lien contemplated by the Mortgage; provided, however, with respect to any leasehold Mortgaged Property, the Company and the appropriate Guarantors shall only be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such consents, approvals, amendments, supplements, estoppels, tenant subordination agreements or other instruments as were delivered in connection with the Senior Secured Facility.
(vi) Fixture Filings. Proper fixture filings under the Uniform Commercial Code on Form UCC-1 or in the applicable Mortgage for filing under the Uniform Commercial Code in the appropriate jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Properties are located, to the extent the same are delivered in connection with the Senior Secured Facility.

Opinions addressed to the Initial Purchasers and the Collateral Agent for its benefit and for the benefit of the Trustee and the holders of the Securities of (i) local counsel in each jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located with respect to the enforceability and perfection of the Mortgages and other matters customarily included in such opinions and (ii) counsel for the Company regarding due authorization, execution and delivery of the Mortgages, in each case, substantially similar to those delivered in connection with the Senior Secured Facility.
(viii) Mortgaged Property Indemnification. With respect to each Mortgaged Property held in fee, such affidavits, certificates, instruments of indemnification and other items (including a so-called “gap” indemnification) as were delivered in connection with the Senior Secured Facility and as shall be reasonably required to induce the title insurance company to issue each Mortgage Policy and endorsements contemplated above.
(ix) Collateral Fees and Expenses. Evidence of payment by the Company of all Mortgage Policy premiums, search and examination charges, mortgage recording taxes, fees, charges, costs and expenses required for the recording of the Mortgages, fixture filings and other documents and issuance of the Mortgage Policies referred to above.
