The parties shall present all necessary information concerning the dispute to the arbitrators within thirty (30) days following the arbitrator’s appointment. Such arbitrators shall review the information presented by both parties and shall render a decision within thirty (30) days of his of her appointment. The arbitrator’s decision, which shall be made by majority or unanimously, shall be based on a determination of an equitable apportioning of the economic losses resulting to the Hospital as a result of the decrease in the Reimbursement Rate among the Hospital and GKF, and taking into account the capital investment made by the parties. The arbitrators’ decision shall be binding upon the parties and non-appealable. The fees and expenses of the arbitrator shall be shared equally between the parties. The foregoing arbitration procedure shall apply only to disagreements arising from this Section 8.2 and not to any other disputes or disagreements arising from this Agreement.

               (a) During the initial three (3) year period following the First Procedure Date, none of GKF or American Shared Radiosurgery Services (“ASRS”) shall directly or indirectly, within Westchester County lease, sell and/or otherwise own any interest in any Gamma Knife system, whether directly or as a shareholder, partner, equity holder, manager or otherwise

               (b) GKF and ASRS acknowledge that: (i) the terms contained in this Section are necessary for the commercially reasonable and proper protection of the Hospital’s interests including without limitation, the Hospital’s substantial investment in the construction and improvement of the Site to accommodate the installation of the Equipment; (ii) each and every covenant and restriction contained in this Section is reasonable in respect of such matter, length of time and geographical area; and (iii) the Hospital is relying on the representations of the parties contained in this Section that they shall abide by and be bound by each of the aforesaid covenants and restrictions.

               (c) If any court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that the duration, geographical limit or any other aspect of the provisions of this Section is unenforceable in accordance with its terms in a particular jurisdiction, the provisions of this Section shall not terminate, but shall be deemed amended to the extent required to render them valid and enforceable in such jurisdiction and such court or tribunal is hereby authorized and directed to amend this Agreement only to the extent that such court or tribunal determines such an amendment is necessary to make it valid and enforceable in said jurisdiction.

               (d) Each of GKF and ASRS further agree that damages at law would be an insufficient remedy for the Hospital in the event that any of them violate the provisions of this Section, and that the Hospital shall be entitled to, among other remedies, make an application to a court of competent jurisdiction to obtain injunctive relief. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Hospital from pursuing any other remedies available to the Hospital for a breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section, including the recovery of damages from any of GKF and/or ASRS.

               (e) The unsuccessful party in judicial proceedings to enforce its rights under this Section shall reimburse the successful party for the reasonable legal fees, costs and disbursements which it incurs as a result of such proceedings.

Agreement with Elekta and any other service or other agreements required to fulfill GKF’s obligation to repair and maintain the Equipment under this Section 12. Hospital shall promptly notify GKF in the event of any damage or destruction to the Equipment or of any required maintenance or repairs to the Equipment, regardless of whether such repairs or maintenance are covered or not covered by the Service Agreement. GKF shall pursue all remedies available to it under the Service Agreement and under any warranties made by Elekta with respect to the Equipment so that the Equipment will be free from defects in design, materials and workmanship and will conform to Elekta’s technical specifications concerning the Equipment.

          12.2 GKF and Elekta shall have the right to access the Equipment for the purpose of inspection and the performance of repairs at all reasonable times, upon reasonable advance notice and with a minimum of interference or disruptions to Hospital’s regular business operations. GKF will comply with HIPPA patient privacy regulations.

          12.3 Hospital shall be liable for, and in the manner described in Section 22 below shall indemnify GKF from and against, any damage to or destruction of the Equipment caused by the misuse, improper use or wrongful or negligent acts or omissions of Hospital’s officers, employees, agents, contractors and physicians. In the event the Equipment is damaged as a result of the misuse, improper use, or other wrongful or negligent acts or omissions of Hospital’s officers, employees, agents, contractors and physicians, to the extent such damage is not covered by the Service Agreement or any warranties or insurance, GKF may service or repair the Equipment as needed and the cost thereof shall be paid by Hospital to GKF promptly upon written request together with interest thereon at the rate of one (1.0%) per month (or the maximum monthly interest rate permitted to be charged by law between an unrelated, commercial borrower and lender, if less) and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by GKF in collecting such amount from Hospital. Any work so performed by GKF shall not deprive GKF of any of its rights, remedies or actions against Hospital for such damages.

          12.4 If the Equipment is rendered unusable as a result of any physical damage to or destruction of the Equipment, Hospital shall give GKF written notice thereof. GKF shall determine, within thirty (30) days after it is given written notice of such damage or destruction, whether the Equipment can be repaired. In the event GKF determines that the Equipment cannot be repaired (a) GKF, at its cost and expense, shall replace the Equipment as soon as reasonably possible taking into account the availability of replacement equipment from Elekta, Elekta’s other then existing orders for equipment, and the then existing limitations on Elekta’s manufacturing capabilities, and (b) this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as though such damage or destruction had not occurred. In the event GKF determines that the Equipment can be repaired, GKF shall cause the Equipment to be repaired as soon as reasonably possible thereafter. Hospital shall fully cooperate with GKF to effect the replacement of the Equipment or the repair of the Equipment (including, without limitation, providing full access to the Site) following the damage or destruction thereof. In the event the Hospital is unable to use the equipment after providing written notice to GKF as set forth in this section, the Hospital shall

* Confidential material has been omitted in accordance with rule 24b-2.

not be obligated to pay any Lease Payment to GKF for Procedures not provided on the Equipment until GKF has remedied the problems set forth in the written notice.

     13. Alterations and Upgrades to Equipment.

          13.1 Hospital shall not make any modifications, alterations or additions to the Equipment (other than normal operating accessories or controls) without the prior written consent of GKF. Hospital shall not, and shall not permit any person other than representatives of Elekta or any other person authorized by GKF to, effect any inspection, adjustment, preventative or remedial maintenance, or repair to the Equipment without the prior written consent of GKF. All modifications, alterations, additions, accessories or operating controls incorporated in or affixed to the Equipment (herein collectively called “additions” and included in the definition of “Equipment”) shall become the property of the GKF upon termination of this Agreement.

          13.2 The necessity and financial responsibility for modifications, additions or upgrades to the Equipment, including the reloading of the Cobalt-60 source, shall be mutually agreed upon by GKF and Hospital. In the event GKF and Hospital agree to reload the Cobalt-60 source (i.e., in approximately the seventh (7th) year of the Term), and GKF pays the costs associated therewith, notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary herein, the initial Term shall be automatically extended for a period of * years. It is the intent of the parties that GKF shall be responsible for Equipment related costs and expenses and that Hospital shall be responsible for Site related costs and expenses for modifications, additions or upgrades to the Equipment, including the reloading of the Cobalt-60 source that are mutually agreed upon by GKF and Hospital. GKF shall be responsible for upgrading the Gamma Knife to its most current version or at least to within one release of the current version. In the event Equipment is upgraded, Hospital and GKF will mutually agree to extend the term of contract and/or increase the fee per procedure rate to offset the additional expense to GKF.

     14. Financing of Equipment by GKF. GKF, in its sole discretion, may finance the Equipment. Financing may be in the form of an installment loan, a capitalized lease or other commercially available debt or financing instrument. If GKF finances the Equipment through an installment loan, GKF shall be required to provide the Equipment as collateral for the loan. If GKF finances the Equipment through a capitalized lease, title shall vest with the lessor until such time as GKF exercises its buy-out option under the lease, if any. If required by the lender, lessor or other financing entity (the “Lender”), GKF may assign its interest under this Agreement as security for the financing. Hospital’s interest under this Agreement shall be subject to the interests of the Lender.

     15. Equipment Operational Costs. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Hospital shall be responsible and liable for all costs and expenses incurred, directly or indirectly, in connection with the operation and use of the Equipment during the Term, including, without limitation, the costs and expenses required to provide trained physicians, professionals, and technical and support personnel, supplies and other items required to properly operate the Equipment and perform Gamma Knife procedures.

* Confidential material has been omitted in accordance with rule 24b-2.

     16. Taxes. GKF shall pay all sales or use taxes imposed or assessed in connection with the purchase of the Equipment and all personal property taxes imposed, levied or assessed on the ownership and possession of the Equipment during the Term. All other taxes, assessments, licenses or other charges imposed, levied or assessed on the Equipment during the Term shall be paid by Hospital before the same shall become delinquent, whether such taxes are assessed or would ordinarily be assessed against GKF or Hospital; provided, however, Hospital shall not be required to pay any federal, state or local income, franchise, corporation or excise taxes imposed upon GKF’s net income realized from the lease of the Equipment. In case of a failure by Hospital to pay any taxes, assessments, licenses or other charges when and as required under this Section, GKF may pay all or any part of such taxes, in which event the amount paid by GKF shall be promptly payable by Hospital to GKF upon written request together with interest thereon at the rate of at the rate of one percent (1.0%) per month (or the maximum monthly interest rate permitted to be charged by law between an unrelated, commercial borrower and lender, if less) and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by GKF in collecting such amount from Hospital.

     17. No Warranties by GKF. Hospital warrants that as of the First Procedure Date, it shall have (a) thoroughly inspected the Equipment, (b) determined that the Equipment is consistent with the size, design, capacity and manufacture selected by it, and (c) satisfied itself that to the best of its knowledge the Equipment is suitable for Hospital’s intended purposes and is good working order, condition and repair. GKF SUPPLIES THE EQUIPMENT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN ITS “AS IS” CONDITION. GKF, NOT BEING THE MANUFACTURER OF THE EQUIPMENT OR THE MANUFACTURER’S AGENT, MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE EQUIPMENT’S MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE, DESIGN, CONDITION, DURABILITY, CAPACITY, MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP OR AS TO PATENT INFRINGEMENT OR THE LIKE. As between GKF and Hospital, Hospital shall bear all risks with respect to the foregoing warranties. GKF shall not be liable for any direct, indirect and consequential losses or damages suffered by Hospital or by any other person, and Hospital expressly waives any right to hold GKF liable hereunder for, any claims, demands and liabilities arising out of or in connection with the design, manufacture, possession or operation of the Equipment, including injury to persons or property resulting from the failure of, defective or faulty design, operation, condition, suitability or use of the Equipment. All warranty or other similar claims with respect to the Equipment shall be made by Hospital solely and exclusively against persons other than GKF, including Elekta or any other manufacturers or suppliers. In this regard and with prior written approval of GKF, Hospital may, in GKF’s name, but at Hospital’s sole cost and expense, enforce all warranties, agreements or representations, if any, which may have been made by Elekta or manufacturers, suppliers or other third parties regarding the Equipment to GKF or Hospital. GKF shall not be responsible for the delivery, installation or operation of the Equipment or for any delay or inadequacy of any or all of the foregoing. GKF will enforce any warranties provided to it by Elekta.

* Confidential material has been omitted in accordance with rule 24b-2.

     18. Termination for Economic Justification. If, following the initial twenty four (24) months after the First Procedure Date and following each subsequent 12 month period thereafter during the Term, based upon the utilization of the Equipment within a reasonable period of time after GKF’s written request, Hospital does not provide GKF with a reasonable economic justification to continue this Agreement and the provision of Gamma Knife services at the Hospital, then and in that event, GKF shall have the option to terminate this Agreement by giving a written notice thereof to Hospital not less than ninety (90) days prior to the effective date of the termination designated in GKF’s written notice. In the event GKF exercises this Economic Justification clause or terminates the Agreement for any reason other than that the Hospital is in breach of the Agreement, GKF will be responsible at its sole cost and expense for removing the Equipment and transporting it from the Hospital.

     19. Options to Extend Agreement. As of the end of the Term, Hospital shall have the option either to:

          19.1 Extend the Term of this Agreement for a specified period of time and upon such other terms and conditions as may be agreed upon by GKF and Hospital: or shall automatically terminate unless extended by the Hospital in writing.

          19.2 At the end of the Term, the Hospital shall have the option to extend the Term of the Agreement for a specified period of time and upon such other terms and conditions as may be agreed upon by GKF and the Hospital. Should the Hospital not exercise such option, this Agreement shall automatically terminate. The Hospital shall exercise such option by giving an irrevocable written notice thereof to GKF at least nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the initial term. Any such notice shall be sufficient if it states in substance that Hospital elects to exercise its option and GKF and Hospital can agree upon the terms of the extension. If Hospital fails to exercise the option granted herein at least nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term, the option shall lapse and this Agreement shall expire as of the end of the initial Term. Further, if Hospital exercises the option set forth in the first sentence of this Section 19 and the parties are unable to mutually agree upon the length of the extension of the Term or any other terms or conditions applicable to such extension prior to the expiration of the Term, this Agreement shall expire as of the end of the initial Term. At the end of the term, this Agreement shall automatically terminate unless it is extended upon the written agreement of GKF and Hospital.

     20. Events of Default by Hospital and Remedies.

          20.1 The occurrence of any one of the following shall constitute an event of default under this Agreement (an “Event of Default”):

               20.1.1 Hospital fails to pay any rent payment when due pursuant to Paragraph 8 above and such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof is given by GKF or its assignee to Hospital; however, if Hospital cures the rent payment default within the applicable thirty (30) day period, such default shall not constitute an Event of Default.

* Confidential material has been omitted in accordance with rule 24b-2.

               20.1.2 Hospital attempts to remove, sell, transfer, encumber, assign, sublet or part with possession of the Equipment or any items thereof, except as expressly permitted herein.

               20.1.3 Hospital fails to observe or perform any of its material covenants, duties or obligations arising under this Agreement or the LGK Agreement and such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by GKF to Hospital; however, if Hospital cures the default within the applicable thirty (30) day period or if the default reasonably requires more than thirty (30) days to cure, Hospital commences to cure the default during the initial thirty (30) day period and Hospital diligently completes the cure as soon as reasonably possible following the end of the thirty (30) day period, such default shall not constitute an Event of Default.

               20.1.4 Hospital ceases doing business as a going concern, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, is adjudicated a bankrupt or an insolvent, files a petition seeking for itself any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar arrangement under any present or future statute, law or regulation or files an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any such proceeding, consents to or acquiesces in the appointment of a trustee, receiver, or liquidator of it or of all or any substantial part of its assets or properties, or it or its shareholders shall take any action looking to its dissolution or liquidation.

               20.1.5 Within sixty (60) days after the commencement of any proceedings against Hospital seeking reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, such proceedings shall not have been dismissed, or if within thirty (30) days after the appointment without Hospital’s consent or acquiescence of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of it or of all or any substantial part of its assets and properties, such appointment shall not be vacated.

               20.1.6 Hospital is suspended or terminated from participation in the Medicare program.

          20.2 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to Hospital, GKF may at its option do any or all of the following:

               20.2.1 By written notice to Hospital, immediately terminate this Agreement as to the Equipment, wherever situated. As a result of the termination, GKF may enter upon the Site and remove the Equipment without liability of any kind or nature for so doing or GKF may demand that Hospital remove and return the Equipment to GKF, all at Hospital’s sole cost and expense.

               20.2.2 Recover from Hospital as liquidated damages for the loss of the bargain represented by this Agreement and not as a penalty an amount equal to the present value

* Confidential material has been omitted in accordance with rule 24b-2.

of the unpaid estimated future rent payments to be made by Hospital to GKF through the end of the Term discounted at the annual rate of nine percent (9%), which liquidated damages shall become immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Event of Default occurs at any time after the fifth (5th) anniversary of the First Procedure Date, then, the liquidated damages shall be an amount equal to the present value of the unpaid estimated future rent payments to be made by Hospital to GKF for a two (2) year period commencing from and after the date on which the subject Event of Default occurred, or through the end of the Term, whichever time period is less, the sum of which payments shall be discounted at the annual rate of nine percent (9%) and shall be immediately due and payable in full. The unpaid estimated future lease payments shall be based on the prior twelve (12) months rent payments made by Hospital to GKF hereunder with an annual five (5%) percent increase thereof through the end of the Term or the two (2) year measuring period, as the case may be. Hospital and GKF acknowledge that the liquidated damages formula set forth in this Section 20.2.2 constitutes a reasonable method to calculate GKF’s damages resulting from an Event of Default under the circumstances existing as of the date of this Agreement. The liquidated damages remedy available under this Section 20.2.2 shall apply if and only to the extent an Event of Default has occurred under Sections 20.1.1 and/or 20.1.2 above.

               20.2.3 Sell, dispose of, hold, use or lease the Equipment, as GKF in its sole and absolute discretion may determine (and GKF shall not be obligated to give preference to the sale, lease or other disposition of the Equipment over the sale, lease or other disposition of similar Equipment owned or leased by GKF).

               20.2.4 Exercise any other right or remedy which may be available to GKF under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable law or proceed by appropriate court action, without affecting GKF’s title or right to possession of the Equipment, to enforce the terms hereof or to recover damages for the breach hereof or to cancel this Agreement as to the Equipment.

               20.2.5 In addition to the foregoing remedies, Hospital shall be liable to GKF for all reasonable attorneys fees, costs and expenses incurred by GKF as a result of the Event of Default or the exercise of GKF’s remedies.

     20.3 Upon termination of this Agreement or the exercise of any other rights or remedies under this Agreement or available under applicable law following an Event of Default, Hospital shall, without further request or demand, pay to GKF all accrued and unpaid rent payments and other sums owing under this Agreement. In the event that Hospital shall pay the liquidated damages referred to in Section 20.2.2 above to GKF, GKF shall pay to Hospital promptly after receipt thereof all rentals or proceeds received from the reletting or sale of the Equipment during the balance of the initial Term (after deduction of all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees and costs, incurred by GKF as a result of the Event of Default), said amount never to exceed the amount of the liquidated damages paid by Hospital. However, Hospital acknowledges that GKF shall have no obligation to sell the Equipment.

* Confidential material has been omitted in accordance with rule 24b-2.

Hospital shall in any event remain fully liable for all damages as may be provided by law and for all costs and expenses incurred by GKF on account of such default, including but not limited to, all court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. The rights and remedies afforded GKF under this Agreement shall be deemed cumulative and not exclusive, and shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies to GKF provided by law or in equity.

     21. Insurance.

          21.1 During the Term, GKF shall, at its cost and expense, purchase and maintain in effect an all risk property and casualty insurance policy covering the Equipment. The all risk property and casualty insurance policy shall be for an amount not less than the replacement cost of the Equipment. Hospital shall be named as an additional insured party on the all risk property and casualty insurance policy to the extent of its interest in the Equipment arising under this Agreement. The all risk property and casualty insurance policy maintained by GKF shall be evidenced by a certificate of insurance or other reasonable documentation which shall be delivered by GKF to Hospital upon request following the commencement of this Agreement and as of each annual renewal of such policy during the Term.

          21.2 During the Term, Hospital shall, at its cost and expense, purchase and maintain in effect general liability and professional liability insurance policies covering the Site (together with all premises where the Site is located) and the use or operation of the Equipment by Hospital or its officers, directors, agents, employees, contractors or physicians. The general liability and professional liability insurance policies shall provide coverage in amounts not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence and Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) annual aggregate. GKF shall be named as additional insured party on the general liability and professional liability insurance policies to be maintained hereunder by Hospital. The policies to be maintained by Hospital hereunder shall be evidenced by a certificate of insurance or other reasonable documentation which shall be delivered by Hospital to GKF no later than the First Procedure Date and as of each annual renewal of such policies during the Term. Subject to compliance with the requirements set forth in this section, the general liability and professional insurance may be insured through Hospital’s self-insurance program.

          21.3 During the construction of the Site and prior to the First Procedure Date, Hospital, at its cost and expense, shall purchase and maintain a general liability insurance policy which conforms with the coverage amounts and other requirements described in Section 21.2 above and which names GKF as an additional insured party. The policy to be maintained by Hospital hereunder shall be evidenced by a certificate of insurance or other reasonable documentation which shall be delivered by Hospital to GKF prior to the commencement of any construction at the Site.

          21.4 During the Term, Hospital shall purchase and maintain all workers compensation insurance to the maximum extent required by applicable law.

     22. Indemnification.

* Confidential material has been omitted in accordance with rule 24b-2.

          22.1 Hospital shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold GKF and its members, managers, officers, employees, agents and contractors (collectively “GKF”) harmless from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, assessments, deficiencies, actions, proceedings, orders, judgments, liens, costs and other expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) of any nature or kind whatsoever asserted against or incurred by GKF (collectively “Damages”) which in any manner arise out of or relate to (a) the failure by Hospital to fully perform, observe or satisfy its covenants, duties or obligations contained in this Agreement or in the LGK Agreement; (b) the use and operation of the Equipment during the Term; (c) the design, construction and preparation of the Site by Hospital or the maintenance of the Site during the Term by Hospital; (d) Damages to the Equipment from the defective, faulty or improper design, construction or preparation of the Site or the installation and positioning of the Equipment; (e) Damages to the Equipment (including any Damages arising out of or related to violations by Hospital, its agents, officers, physicians, employees or contractors of the Service Agreement) caused by the negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of Hospital, its agents, officers, physicians, employees or contractors (in the event the Equipment is destroyed or rendered unusable, subject to Section 22.6 below, this indemnity shall extend up to (but not exceed) the full replacement value of the Equipment at the time of its destruction less salvage value, if any); and (f) the events or occurrences described in Article 7.3 of the LGK Agreement to the same extent that Hospital agrees to indemnify Elekta thereunder. The Hospital shall not indemnify GKF for any costs, expenses, losses, etc. incurred by GKF arising out of the Hospital’s compliance with the Site Planning Criteria provided by GKF, instructions from GKF concerning the use of the Equipment or any instructions from GKF concerning the repair and maintenance of the Equipment.

          22.2 Upon the occurrence of an event for which GKF is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, GKF shall give written notice thereof to Hospital setting forth the type and amount of Damages. If the indemnity relates to a Third Party Claim (as defined in Section 22.3 below), the matter shall be subject to Section 22.3 below. If the indemnity relates to any Damages other than a Third Party Claim, not more than thirty (30) days after GKF’s written notice is given, Hospital either shall acknowledge in writing to GKF its obligation to indemnify hereunder and pay the Damages in full to GKF or dispute its obligation to indemnify in a written notice delivered to GKF. If Hospital disputes the obligation to indemnify, the parties shall meet and negotiate in good faith to mutually resolve the disagreement regarding indemnification.

          22.3 GKF shall give written notice to Hospital as soon as reasonably possible after it has knowledge of any third party claim or legal proceedings (“Third Party Claim”) for which GKF is entitled to indemnification under this Section 22. Hospital shall (a) immediately assume, at its sole cost and expense, the defense of the Third Party Claim with legal counsel approved by GKF (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and (b) as soon as reasonably possible after GKF’s written notice is given to Hospital, acknowledge in writing to GKF its obligation to indemnify GKF in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If Hospital fails to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim or fails to timely

* Confidential material has been omitted in accordance with rule 24b-2.

acknowledge in writing its obligation to indemnify GKF, GKF may assume the defense of the Third Party Claim in the manner described in Section 22.4 below. GKF shall cooperate with Hospital in the defense of any Third Party Claim. Any settlement or compromise of a Third Party Claim to which GKF is a party shall be subject to the express written approval of GKF, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned as long as an unconditional term of the settlement or compromise is the full and absolute release of GKF from all Damages arising out of the Third Party Claim. GKF, at its own cost and expense, may participate on its own behalf with legal counsel of its own selection in the defense of any Third Party Claim which may have a material impact on GKF.

          22.4 If Hospital fails to promptly assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, GKF may assume the defense of the Third Party Claim with legal counsel selected by GKF, all at Hospital’s cost and expense. The defense of an action by GKF under this Section 22.4 shall not impair, limit or otherwise restrict Hospital’s indemnification obligations arising under this Section 22 or GKF’s right to enforce such obligations.

          22.5 The indemnity obligations under this Section 22 shall survive the termination of this Lease with respect to events occurring during or relating to the Term.

          22.6 The indemnification obligations set forth in this Agreement are intended to supplement, and not supersede, supplant or replace, any coverage for Damages which may be available under any insurance policies that may be maintained by GKF or Hospital. In the event any Damages may be covered by insurance policies, the parties shall exercise good faith and use their best efforts to obtain the benefits of and apply the available insurance coverage to the Damages subject to indemnification under this Agreement. In the event that an insurer provides coverage under an insurance policy on the basis of a “reservation of rights”, the indemnification obligations under this Agreement shall apply to all Damages which are finally determined as not being covered under the insurance policy.

          22.7 Hospital and GKF each hereby covenants and agrees that it will defend, indemnify and hold the other party and their respective officers, directors, members, employees and agents at all times harmless from and against any loss, damage and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs of defense) caused by or arising out of: (i) any liability or obligation related to the business of the indemnifying party prior to the date hereof and the commencement of the Program; (ii) any obligation or liability arising from services provided under this Agreement or in connection with the Program by the indemnifying party to the extent any such liability or obligation directly results from the negligence or intentional misconduct of the indemnifying party; or (iii) any obligation or liability resulting from a breach of any provision of this Agreement by the indemnifying party. The obligations of the parties under this Section survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

          22.8 Any party that intends to enforce an indemnity obligation under this Agreement shall give the indemnifying party written notice of any claim promptly after such claim is made, but the failure to give such notice shall not constitute a waiver or release of the

* Confidential material has been omitted in accordance with rule 24b-2.

indemnifying party and shall not affect the rights of the indemnified party to recover under this indemnity, except to the extent the indemnified party is materially prejudiced thereby. In connection with any claim giving rise to indemnity under this Section 22 resulting from or arising out of any claim or legal proceeding by a person who is not a party to this Agreement, the indemnifying party, at its sole cost and expense, may, upon written notice to the indemnified party, assume control of the defense of such claim or legal proceeding, to the extent that the indemnifying party admits in writing its indemnification liability to the indemnified party with respect to all material elements thereof. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding, the obligations of the indemnifying party hereunder as to such claim or legal proceeding shall be to take all steps necessary in the defense or settlement thereof and to hold the indemnified party harmless from and against any losses, damages, expenses or liability caused by or arising out of any settlement approved by the indemnifying party and the indemnified party or any judgment in connection with such claim or legal proceeding. Each indemnified party shall cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense of any such action, the defense of which is assumed by the indemnifying party. Except with the consent of the indemnified party, which consent may be withheld at the indemnified party’s sole discretion, the indemnifying party shall not consent to any settlement or the entry of any judgment arising from any such claim or legal proceeding which, in each case, does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect thereof. If the indemnifying party does not assume the defense of any claim or litigation, any indemnified party may defend against such claim or litigation in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including but not limited to settling such claim or litigation, after giving notice of the same to the indemnifying party, on such terms as the indemnified party may deem appropriate. The indemnifying party will, promptly after any of the same is incurred, reimburse the indemnified party in accordance with the provisions hereof for all damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by the indemnified party.

     23. Miscellaneous.

          23.1 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Hospital shall not assign this Agreement or any of its rights hereunder or sublease the Equipment without the prior written consent of GKF, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. An assignment or sublease shall not relieve Hospital of any liability for performance of this Agreement during the remainder of the Term. Any purported assignment or sublease made without GKF’s prior written consent shall be null, void and of no force or effect.

          23.2 Agreement to Perform Necessary Acts. Each party agrees to perform any further acts and execute and deliver any further documents which may be reasonably necessary or otherwise reasonably required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement.

          23.3 Validity. If for any reason any clause or provision of this Agreement, or the application of any such clause or provision in a particular context or to a particular situation, circumstance or person, should be held unenforceable, invalid or in violation of law by any court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction, then the application of such clause or provision in

* Confidential material has been omitted in accordance with rule 24b-2.
