order, or similar documents shall not bind Accuray.
- 2.
- Payments.
- 2.1.
- Under
this Agreement, Customer will be responsible for making three types of payments to Accuray: (i) the Down Payment, (ii) Minimum Monthly Payments and
(iii) Revenue Share Payments
- 2.1.1.
- Down Payment. Customer shall pay Accuray a Down Payment in the amount selected by Customer in Section D.1.2
(Down Payment Options) above, which Down Payment shall be due in accordance with the applicable dates specified in Section D.2.1 (Down Payment Payments) above.
- 2.1.2.
- Minimum Monthly Payments. The Minimum Monthly Payments are certain minimum payments that Customer is required to make
to Accuray each month regardless of the amount of revenue that Customer has generated in such month. The amount of Customer's Minimum Monthly Payment is dependent upon the amount of Customer's Down
Payment. Customer agrees that the minimum monthly payment amount set forth in Section D.2.2 (Minimum Monthly Payments) above which corresponds to the value of Customer's Down Payment shall
constitute the amount of Customer's Minimum Monthly Payment under this Agreement.
- 2.1.2.1.
- Starting with the first (1st) month following the Commencement Date (as defined below), in the event that the Revenue Share payment (as defined below) to be made by Customer to Accuray is not equal to or greater than the amount of Customer's Minimum Monthly Payment, Customer shall make a payment to Accuray in the
5
- 2.1.3.
- Revenue Share Payments. The Revenue Share Payments are payments that Customer is required to make to Accuray based on
an equal division (50/50) of the total Technical Fees (as defined below) collected by Customer each month.
- 2.1.3.1.
- Treatment Services. "Treatment Services" means all services provided
using the Accuray Deliverables including but not limited to: treatment planning services, treatment delivery services, and other such services that may become available in the future, for which
reimbursement is sought.
- 2.1.3.2.
- Technical Fees. "Technical Fees" means as all payments received by
Customer for the Treatment Services being provided using the Accuray Deliverables, excluding the "professional" services collected for the physician surgeons and radiation oncologists administering or
prescribing the treatment (such professional services fees, "Professional Fee"). Revenue Share payments are due for the Term of this Agreement. Revenue
Share Payments are net of Customer's Minimum Monthly Payments, i.e., the month when the collections were received. If the Revenue Share Payment due to Accuray in any given month is less than
the Minimum Monthly Payment, then Customer shall pay the Minimum Monthly Payment in that month only.
- 2.1.3.3.
- Revenue Share and Minimum Monthly Payments. Revenue Share Payments shall be reduced by the Minimum Monthly Payment
made for that particular month in which the revenue was generated (i.e., the month when the collections were received). If the Revenue Share Payment due to Accuray in any given month is less
than the Minimum Monthly Payment, then Customer shall pay Accuray the Minimum Monthly Payment in that month only. All Revenue Share Payments made by Customer to Accuray under this Agreement shall be
applied to decrease the Buyout Price (as defined below) of the Accuray Deliverables provided hereunder.
- 2.1.3.4.
- Global Billing. In the event of any "global" billing, defined as any xxxx that requires a combined billing for the
technical and professional components, the reimbursement will be allocated seventy-four percent (74%) to the Technical Fee and twenty-six percent (26%) to the
Professional Fee.
- 2.1.3.5.
- Pooled Rate. In the event of that the payment to Customer for CyberKnife treatment services are unspecified and fall
under a reimbursement payment methodology that is derived from a bundled, pooled, "hold back" or "capitated" arrangement, the reimbursement allocated to the technical and professional components of
the CyberKnife treatment shall consist of a "Pooled Rate."
- 2.1.3.5.1.
- The
Pooled Rate shall be calculated on each anniversary of the Commencement Date for the succeeding year.
- 2.1.3.5.2.
- For each year following such Commencement Date, the Pooled Rate shall be equal to the average reimbursement for CyberKnife treatment received by Customer from all payers of unbundled rates during the preceding year.
amount of Customer's Minimum Monthly Payment, notwithstanding the actual amount of any fees collected by Customer with respect to such month. The Minimum Monthly Payments will be due on the third (3rd) business day of each month and shall continue for the Term of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, and by way of example, if the Commencement Date is on any day of the month of May, the Minimum Monthly Payment shall commence on the third (3rd) business day of June.
6
- 2.1.3.5.3.
- For
the first year following the Commencement Date, the Pooled Rate will be an estimated rate, calculated ninety (90) days after the Commencement Date, to allow Customer
time to negotiate rates with insurance carriers for that first year.
- 2.1.3.6.
- Inpatient Rate. In the event that a patient is treated with the Accuray Deliverables while being an inpatient at
Customer when such services are rendered and the Customer is paid on a DRG-like basis, Customer agrees to pay Accuray according to the payment methodology for the Revenue Share Payments
set forth in this Section 2.1.3.
- 2.2.
- Payment Terms. On or before the close of business on the third (3rd) business day of each month following
the month that contains the Commencement Date (the "Payment Due Date"), however, no later than sixty (60) days following the Delivery
Date, Customer shall pay to Accuray the greater of the Minimum Monthly Payment for the prior month (subject to Section 2.1.2, "Minimum Monthly Payments" above) or the Revenue Share Payment for
the prior month. Customer will provide Accuray the previous month's billing and collection statements and any other relevant statements by the third (3rd) business day of each month,
together with payments of the Minimum Monthly Payment or Revenue Share payments due to Accuray in that month. Customer shall pay for the Accuray Deliverables in accordance with the payment schedule
set forth herein, provided that if installation or Acceptance (as defined below) is delayed by Customer for reasons not attributable to Accuray, the payment amount due upon Acceptance of the
applicable Accuray Deliverable shall be due and payable the earlier of (i) 60 calendar days after delivery or (ii) Acceptance. If the delivery of an Accuray Deliverable is delayed by
Customer for reasons not attributable to Accuray, Customer shall pay Accuray's reasonable cost to store such deliverable (including, but not limited to, insurance and demurrage charges) and amounts
due on the estimated delivery date specified in Section D above for such deliverable shall become due and payable on such date. Accuray's performance hereunder is subject to Accuray's approval
of Customer's credit.
- 2.3.
- Invoices; Late Fees. If Customer's internal payment processing procedure requires Customer to receive an invoice before
paying amounts due hereunder, Customer shall request such invoice sufficiently in advance to make the payment in accordance with the payment schedule set forth herein. Customer shall pay Accuray a
late fee of 2% on each payment made after the Payment Due Date, as well as interest at the rate of 1% per month (or, if lower, the maximum rate that as is permitted by applicable laws) from the
Payment Due Date to the date it was received by Accuray. Customer shall pay Accuray's reasonable costs of collecting amounts due hereunder that are more than 30 days past due. Accuray may
suspend its performance under this Agreement if payments are not made in accordance with the payment schedule set forth herein.
- 2.4.
- Taxes. All payments from Customer to Accuray under this Agreement are exclusive of taxes (e.g. sales, use, rental
or similar taxes), duties, license or other fees, etc. If the use or possession of the Accuray Deliverables by Customer pursuant to this Agreement results in the imposition of any taxes, duties, or
other fees, or requires the issuance of any permits or licenses, such taxes, duties or fees (other than taxes upon Accuray's net income) shall be paid, and such permits and licenses applied for and
maintained, by Customer. Any sales, use, rental or similar tax computed on the basis of the payments and required to be collected by Accuray shall be paid by Customer with and in addition to the
related payment.
- 2.5.
- Best Efforts. Customer agrees to use its best efforts to obtain prompt payment, from patients and third-party payers and at the rates lawfully available in the market or markets served by Customer, for services rendered by Customer utilizing any of the Accuray Deliverables.
7
Accuray's personnel who have knowledge and experience in obtaining reimbursement for such services may assist Customer in strategizing as to such reimbursement, but Customer shall be responsible for applying for and obtaining such payment and reimbursement. Nothing in this Section 2.5 is intended to suggest that either party will do anything inconsistent with the anti-fraud provisions of healthcare laws or regulations.
- 3.
- Buyout. On any anniversary date following one (1) year from the Commencement Date, Accuray will provide an exit
strategy (the "Buyout Option") enabling Customer to buy out Accuray's interest in this program including the Accuray Deliverables at the
predetermined price and terms available from Accuray, less an amount equal to all Revenue Share Payments made by Customer to Accuray under this Agreement as of the date that Customer exercises its
Buyout Option, with sixty (60) days written notice. The amount that Customer must pay to Accuray in order to exercise its Buyout Option (the "Buyout
Price") will depend upon the amount of Customer's initial Down Payment to Accuray and the year in which Customer exercises its Buyout Option. Customer acknowledges and agrees
that its Buyout Price will correspond to the amount of Customer's Down Payment and the year in which Customer exercises its Buyout Option, less all Revenue Share Payments made by Customer to Accuray
under this Agreement as of the date that Customer exercises its Buyout Option.
- 4.
- Funding. Customer understands that Accuray may obtain outside funding to invest in the Shared Ownership Program and may use
the Accuray Deliverables and Customer's Per Patient Payments and other payments as collateral (or the title of the Accuray Deliverables may be transferred to a third party as part of a
financing agreement). Customer agrees to provide reasonable information to allow this financing.
- 5.
- Shipment. Shipments are F.O.B. Destination. Customer shall inspect arriving shipments and report any visible damage or
shortages to Accuray within 48 hours after delivery and any concealed damage within 10 days after delivery. If Customer does not report damage in accordance with the previous sentence,
Customer shall bear the risk of loss with respect to such damage. For shipments outside the United States, Customer shall procure all necessary permits and licenses for such shipments and for
compliance with any government regulations applicable at the destination. Delivery and installation dates set forth in Section D above, or otherwise agreed upon in writing by the parties
are approximate. Accuray shall use reasonable efforts to meet all such delivery and installation dates but shall not be liable for delays.
- 6.
- Installation.
- 6.1.
- Installation by Accuray. Accuray will notify Customer approximately 90 calendar days prior to the scheduled
delivery of the Accuray System to coordinate installation details. Installation will be performed by Accuray. Accuray will assemble and test the Accuray System. Operation of the Accuray System by
Accuray, as necessary for completion of installation or acceptance tests, is subject to Customer providing adequate radiation shielding protection and other site preparations required for the safety
and protection of personnel and the Accuray Deliverables. Upon completion of the installation, Accuray's representatives will demonstrate proper machine operation by performing Accuray's acceptance
test procedure. For clarity, Accuray is not responsible for any commissioning of the Accuray System, including, but not limited to, any calibration or radiation surveys. Such commissioning shall be
the sole responsibility of Customer.
- 6.2.
- Site Preparation. Customer will be responsible for having the building, utilities, lighting, ventilation, air conditioning, mounting facilities, all necessary radiation shielding, patient positioning lasers, closed-caption TV system, intercom, and access to the room completed on the estimated delivery date and ready for installation of the Accuray System. Accuray will have no responsibility for any matter affecting or related to the adequacy of architectural design,
8
- 6.3.
- Rigging and Unloading. Accuray will locate and contract with a rigger or local licensed contractor to provide labor and
rigging services necessary to unload the sub-base frame and the rest of the Accuray System from the transport vehicle and move the entire Accuray System to its final position under
Accuray's supervision. Accuray shall be responsible for all standard rigging costs and expenses. An Accuray representative will monitor the movement, final positioning and connection of the
Accuray System.
- 6.4.
- Customer Representative. Customer shall provide a representative who shall be present at all times during the
installation and be capable of assisting where necessary. When no representative is present and assistance from Customer is not available when required, Accuray may suspend the installation until an
appropriate Customer representative is made available consistently.
- 6.5.
- Site Location. Customer agrees that the Accuray System will remain at the site at which Accuray installs the System and
will not be re-located without the prior written consent of Accuray, such consent to not be unreasonably withheld.
utility service design, the radiation protection walls and barriers, patient viewing devices, or facility personnel safety devices at Customer's site. Architectural design, radiation protection walls and barriers and other safety devices must be approved by an expert in the radiation field and shall be Customer's responsibility.
- 7.
- Training.
- 7.1.
- Training. Accuray will provide training for up to 5 Customer personnel (such personnel, collectively, the
"Initial Group"). The Accuray training includes: (i) Technical Training, (ii) 1 Clinical Site Visit, and (iii) 1
on-site training session on the technical use of the Accuray System during first patient treatment, as each is described below. Customer shall be responsible for the travel and living
expenses of all personnel sent for training. At the request of Customer, Accuray shall train additional Customer personnel beyond the Initial Group in accordance with Accuray's then current training
price list and availability.
- 7.2.
- Training Framework and Restrictions. Due to logistical considerations, Accuray can only offer 1 Clinical Site
Visit and 1 on-site training session during first patient treatment per Customer. As set forth below, Customer shall at a minimum send a Core Group (as defined in
Section 7.3.1 below) for Technical Training prior to installation. However, because completion of the Technical Training is a prerequisite to the Clinical Site Visit and because completion of
Technical Training and the Clinical Site Visit are prerequisites to the on-site training session during first patient treatment, Accuray strongly recommends that Customer send its entire
Initial Group to Technical Training before the Clinical Site Visit. If Customer does not send its entire Initial Group to Technical Training prior to the Clinical Site Visit, then only Customer's Core
Group personnel who have completed the Technical Training shall be able to participate in the Clinical Site Visit and subsequent on-site training session during first patient treatment. If
Customer does not send its entire Initial Group to Technical Training prior to the Clinical Site Visit, then the remaining members of Customer's Initial Group shall only be eligible for Technical
Training and must complete such Technical Training within 60 days of the first patient treatment or the option for such Technical Training shall be deemed waived by Customer.
- 7.3.
- Technical Training
- 7.3.1.
- Technical Training will occur at Accuray's training facility in Sunnyvale, California or such other regional training facility as Accuray may establish. At a minimum, Customer must
9
- (i)
- at
least 1 medical physicist or the individual who will be responsible for commissioning the Accuray System and performing the quality assurance testing and
treatment planning at Customer's site if such individual is not a physicist; and
- (ii)
- at
least 1 radiation oncologist or the individual who will be responsible for approving the prescription at Customer's site if such individual is not a radiation
oncologist (such individuals, collectively, the "Core Group").
- 7.3.2.
- At
a minimum, the Core Group must have completed the Technical Training prior to installation. Customer, in its discretion, may select the remaining members of Customer's Initial
Group (for example, surgeons, specialists, radiation therapists and additional medical physicists and/or radiation oncologists), however, as described in Section 7.2 above, Accuray
strongly recommends that Customer send its entire Initial Group to Technical Training prior to the Clinical Site Visit.
- 7.4.
- Clinical Site Visit. Accuray will arrange for 1 Clinical Site Visit for Customer's Initial Group prior to
installation. The Clinical Site Visit will take place at an operating CyberKnife Center in the United States. This Clinical Site Visit will involve clinical interaction with personnel at such
center and an opportunity to witness actual patient treatment. Accuray will provide each customer with only 1 Clinical Site Visit and thus any members of Customer's Initial Group who wish to
attend a Clinical Site Visit must all attend the same Clinical Site Visit. Completion of Technical Training is a prerequisite to participation in the Clinical Site Visit.
- 7.5.
- On-site Training during First Patient Treatment. Accuray shall provide an Accuray trainer to assist with the
technical use of the Accuray System at Customer's site during first patient treatment. For clarity, proctoring and credentialing of physicians and medical staff is the responsibility of the Customer
and should be performed separately from Accuray training according to the policies and procedures of the particular Customer or affiliated hospital, as applicable. Completion of the Technical Training
and Clinical Site Visit by, at a minimum, the Core Group of Customer personnel are prerequisites for Accuray providing a trainer during the first patient treatment at Customer's site. Accuray shall
have the right to reschedule the first patient treatment in the event that Customer's Core Group has not completed the Technical Training and the Clinical Site Visit prior to the first patient
treatment. In addition, at the first patient treatment the Accuray trainer will only work with Customer personnel who have previously completed both Accuray's Technical Training and Clinical
Site Visit.
- 7.6.
- Credentials. Customer shall determine and verify any necessary credentials of any personnel that Customer sends for
training on the Accuray System. Accuray shall not be responsible for and will not in any way determine, assess or verify any necessary credentials of any personnel that Customer sends for training on
the Accuray System.
- 7.7.
- Qualification. Accuray strongly recommends that any Customer personnel who will be involved with the Accuray System
attend the training programs offered by Accuray, however, Customer shall have the sole responsibility for ensuring that any Customer personnel are appropriately trained with respect to any Accuray
Deliverables and Accuray shall not be responsible for any such determinations.
include the following individuals in the first group that Customer sends to Technical Training:
- 8.
- Service and Maintenance. During the Term of this Agreement, except during the warranty year, as set forth in Section 16 (Warranty) below, the maintenance and repair of the Accuray Deliverables shall be provided pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Diamond Elite Preventive Maintenance and Service Agreement provided separately and Customer hereby agrees to execute such Diamond Elite Preventive Maintenance and Service contract if and when
10
Customer executes this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer shall be responsible, and shall promptly pay Accuray, for any repair of the Accuray Deliverables, which is necessary as a result of any negligent or intentional failure of Customer, its employees or agents to operate the Accuray Deliverables in accordance with the User Manuals published by Accuray, a copy of which has been provided to Customer. Customer shall keep the User Manuals in a secure location and treat their contents as confidential.
- 9.
- Calibration and Local Requirements.
- 9.1.
- Calibration. Customer shall be solely responsible for all Accuray System commissioning and calibration. The dose rate and
integrated dose measured by the accelerator transmission ionization chamber and dosimetry electronics must be calibrated by a qualified radiological physicist prior to use of the Accuray System for
patient treatment. Customer shall be responsible for quality assurance testing and calibrating the Accuray System regularly. Customer also shall be responsible for radiation surveys which may be
required by applicable law or regulation or which may be necessary to establish that radiation does not exceed safe levels. Accuray has no responsibility for any such commissioning, quality assurance
testing, calibration or radiation surveys.
- 9.2.
- Pre-Requisite to First Patient Treatment. Proper commissioning, calibration and quality assurance testing
("QA") of the Accuray System are necessary prerequisites to the first patient treatment. Accuray has the right to delay the first patient treatment in
the event that Customer, in Accuray's sole opinion, does not have sufficient time between installation and first patient treatment to properly commission, calibrate and QA the Accuray System.
- 9.3.
- Local Requirements. Customer shall be responsible for obtaining all permits and for meeting all requirements relating to
state and local codes, registration, regulations and ordinances applicable to Customer's use of the Accuray System. Accuray has no responsibility for compliance by the Accuray Deliverables with such
requirements.
- 10.
