Medicorp shall grant PEDC a second lien in the form of a deed of trust on
the land and the improvements located thereon to secure PEDC's guaranty of
Medicorp's loan with its lender. This lien shall represent a claim against
Medicorp's equity in the real estate equal to the amount paid by PEDC, if
any, to the first lienholder pursuant to a guaranty provided by PEDC to
such first lienholder. This second lien shall terminate on the earlier of
the date PEDC's guaranty is released by the first lienholder or Medicorp
pays off the balance due to the first lienholder.
PEDC shall be released from any obligation to pay any unpaid Installment
Payments to Medicorp if (i) Medicorp is declared in default of its
obligations to its first lienholder, or (ii) Medicorp discontinues its
operations in Pampa within five (5) years of the date hereof.
d. Employee grant to be paid and adjusted over a term of eight (8) years,
commencing January 1, 2001, and ending December 31, 2008, for a maximum of
$320,000.00, as follows:
(1) PEDC will pay to Medicorp $40,000.00 per calendar year (for a maximum
of $320,000.00) for each of the first eight (8) years commencing with
the calendar year of January 1, 2001, and ending December 31, 2001,
and for each succeeding calendar year thereafter, if Medicorp provides
a minimum of 83,200 hours (2,080 hours X 40 FTEE's) of employment
during such calendar year.
This annual incentive shall be paid in equal quarterly installments of
$10,000.00 so long as 20,800 hours (520 hours X 40 FTEE's) of
employment have been provided in such quarter, which payment will be
made within five (5) days after each quarterly and calendar year
verification as described in (4) below. If for such calendar year
Medicorp has not provided a minimum of 83,200 hours of employment,
Medicorp will reimburse PEDC for quarterly payments received within
thirty (30) days after written demand for payment. If Medicorp fails
to pay such reimbursement within said thirty (30) days, such amount
shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum based
upon a 365-day year until paid.
(2) PEDC will pay to Medicorp in addition to employee grant incentives set
in (1) above, $1,000.00 per calendar year (for a maximum of
$80,000.00) for each of the first eight (8) years commencing with the
calendar year of January 1, 2001, and ending December 31, 2001, and
for each succeeding calendar year thereafter, for each 2,080 hours of
employment over 83,200 hours of employment but not more than 104,000
hours (2,080 hours X 50 FTEE's) of employment during such calendar
year.
This annual incentive shall be paid in quarterly installments
calculated as the total number of hours paid in such quarter less
20,800 hours divided by 520 hours times $250.00. The fourth quarterly
payment for each calendar year shall be calculated as the total number
of hours paid in such calendar year
2

EXHIBIT 10.39
(but not more than 104,000 hours) less 83,200 hours divided by
2,080 hours times $1,000.00 less the sum of the first three
quarterly payments made in such calendar year. To the extent
that such calculation results in a negative balance, Medicorp
will reimburse PEDC for such balance within thirty days after
written demand for payment. If Medicorp fails to pay such
reimbursement within said thirty (30) days, such amount shall
bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum based on
a 365-day year until paid.
(3) PEDC will pay to Medicorp in addition to the employee grant
incentives set in (1) and (2) above, $500,000 per calendar year
with no limit or cap, for each of the first eight (8) years
commencing with the calendar year of January 1, 2001, and ending
December 31, 2001, and for each succeeding calendar year
thereafter, for each 2,080 hours of employment over 104,000 hours
of employment during such calendar year.
This annual incentive shall be paid in quarterly installments
calculated as the total number of hours paid in such quarter less
26,000 hours (520 hours X 50 FTEE's) of employment during such
quarter divided by 520 hours times $125.00. The fourth quarterly
payment for each calendar year shall be calculated as the total
number of hours paid in such calendar year less 104,000 hours
divided by 2,080 hours times $500.00 less the sum of the first
three quarterly payments made in such calendar year. To the
extent that such calculation results in a negative balance,
Medicorp will reimburse PEDC for such balance within thirty days
after written demand for payment. If Medicorp fails to pay such
reimbursement within said thirty (30) days, such amount shall
bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum based on
a 365-day year until paid.
(4) Verification of the number of hours of employment worked as of
December 31 of each applicable year shall be determined from
Medicorp professional employer organization reports to be filed
by applicable State and Federal laws and regulations, which
organization at the time of execution of the Agreement is
Adminstaff, Inc. with corporate headquarters in Kingwood, Texas,
or any other report(s) acceptable by PEDC.
e. $10,000.00 will be paid to Medicorp if Medicorp has forty (40)
employees by December 31, 2000, as verified under (4) above.
f. If PEDC fails to pay any amount due hereunder within thirty
(30) days of the due date, such amount shall bear interest at
the rate of 10 percent per annum, based on a 365-day year,
until paid.
3. Repayment Obligations of Medicorp. In addition to any repayment
provisions provided in Paragraph 2 above, if Medicorp does not provided 62,400
hours (2,080 hours X 30 FTEE's) of employment during a calendar year as verified
