Preliminary Official Statement, dated July 19, 2018 (the “Preliminary Official Statement”), relating to the Public Finance Authority Senior Revenue Bonds, Series 2018A-1 (Maryland Proton Treatment Center) (the “Series 2018A-1 Bonds”). Any capitalized terms used in this Supplement and not defined have the meanings assigned to them in the Preliminary Official Statement.

The Preliminary Official Statement is hereby supplemented, revised and amended as

follows:

1. Varian Operations and Maintenance Agreement. The following information is added to the end of the paragraph on page 32 of the Preliminary Official Statement under the subheading “PRINCIPAL PROJECT AGREEMENTS – Operations and Maintenance Agreement (Varian) – Guaranteed Proton System Availability: Error Resolution & Credits”:

In addition to the Minimum Availability credit noted above (the “Guaranteed Treatment Room Availability Service Level Credit”), if all of the five (5) treatment rooms are unavailable for use by the Operator to treat patients for five (5) consecutive Operating Days (as defined in the O&M Agreement), for each additional consecutive Operating Day all five (5) treatment rooms remain unavailable for use by the Operator to treat patients Varian shall pay the Operator a down system credit equal to $4,000 (the “Down System Credit”). The maximum aggregate Guaranteed Treatment Room Availability Service Level Credit and Down System Credit for any contract year shall not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the Support Services Fee paid by the Operator for such year.

2. Senior Debt Service Reserve Fund Replenishment. The following sentence replaces the second to last paragraph on page 54 of the Preliminary Official Statement under the subheading “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR SERIES 2018 BONDS - Senior Debt Service Reserve Fund”:

any such installment payment is missed, it shall be an Event of Default under the Indenture.

The following language replaces Section 5.07(c) on page 41 of APPENDIX E – PROPOSED FORM OF THE INDENTURE:

(c) In the event of a draw on the Senior Debt Service Reserve Fund, the Trustee shall, to the extent of amounts received from the Authority, restore the amount on deposit to equal the Senior Reserve Fund Requirement within 12 months in 12 equal installments. If any such installment payment is missed, it shall be an Event of Default under Section 9.02 of this Indenture.

3. Payer Mix. The following table is added in APPENDIX A – THE PROJECT AND THE OPERATOR – THE PROJECT under the subheading “Payer Mix” after the first paragraph:

The following table provides a breakdown of the collections per fraction and per patient by payer mix:

Payor Group* Collections / Fraction

Collections / Patient

Medicare/Medicaid $1,007 $24,892 Commercial incl. Tricare and VA 2,684 71,810 Self-Pay 2,974 87,849

*Many of MPTC’s patients are covered by more than a single payor; the collections above focus on the 320 of 1,076 patients covered by a single payor.

4. Patient Referrals to date. The following paragraph and table is added to APPENDIX

A – THE PROJECT AND THE OPERATOR – THE PROJECT replacing the final paragraph under the subheading “Strategic Affiliations”:

The following chart provides a breakdown of the patient referrals received for years 2016, 2017 and the first half of 2018:

Referral Source** 2016 2017 1H2018* UM 142 180 95 Affiliates 81 91 45 Other Radiation Oncology Partners 106 126 72 Expanded Network (including Self-Referrals) 78 104 50 Total 407 501 262 *2018 January through June

** Note the numbers in the chart exclude consults which take place outside of MPTC, either at a UM hospital or affiliate partner medical center. Also, these numbers typically exclude international patients.

The Operator anticipates that aggregate referred proton candidates will grow from approximately 500 in 2017 to approximately 1,700 by 2021, with proton candidate referrals from the University of Maryland growing from 180 in 2017 to 762 by 2021, and proton candidate referrals from affiliated partnerships growing from 91 in 2017 to 261 by 2021. See “Appendix B – MARYLAND PROTON TREATMENT CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY.”

The following language is added as a footnote to Exhibit 34: Projected Trends in Proton-Eligible Referred Candidates to MPTC by Source (2017-2021) in APPENDIX B MARYLAND PROTON TREATMENT CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY:

This Exhibit 34 is based on projections, not actuals, compiled in September 2017.

5. Treatments per Year. The following table is added to APPENDIX A – THE PROJECT AND THE OPERATOR – THE PROJECT at the end of the subheading “Historical Performance”:

The chart below presents the Project’s treatments per year for the current fiscal year to date and the past two fiscal years:

Year Treatments FY2016 6,286 FY2017 16,260 1H2018 9,306 Total 31,852 2018 YTD through June 2018

6. Existing Indebtedness. The following information is added to APPENDIX A – THE

PROJECT AND THE OPERATOR – THE OPERATOR after the third sentence under the heading “Existing Indebtedness – Promissory Notes – Advanced Particle Therapy, LLC”: APT has entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement with MPTC and MPTH with respect to $5,000,000 of the disputed note payable to APT pursuant to which APT will release MPTC and MPTH from all claims due APT under the disputed note upon the closing of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds. Signet Development, LLC (“Signet”) has a claim against MPTC and MPTH derived through APT in the amount of approximately $660,000, which is part of the $5,561,389 disputed APT note amount. It is a condition to the closing of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds that such Signet claim is released.

The following table is added to APPENDIX A – THE PROJECT AND THE OPERATOR – THE OPERATOR at the end of the subheading “Existing Indebtedness”:

The following chart provides a breakdown of the expected consideration to be received by each creditor type as a result of the transaction with the Authority described herein:

*The chart does not include the expected consideration to be paid to Kelcy Warren, a Revenue Share Holder. See “THE PROJECT AND THE OPERATOR – THE OPERATOR – Litigation” for a discussion of litigation brought by Mr. Warren.

7. Dallas Bankruptcy. The following sentence is added in APPENDIX A – THE PROJECT AND THE OPERATOR – THE OPERATOR as the penultimate sentence in the second paragraph under the subheading “Litigation”:

A hearing is scheduled in the Dallas Bankruptcy matter for August 9, 2018 to approve the settlement.

8. Litigation. The following paragraph is added in APPENDIX A – THE PROJECT AND THE OPERATOR – THE OPERATOR at the end of the subheading “Litigation”:

On July 26, 2018, Kelcy Warren filed suit against MPTC and three Senior Lender entities in the Superior Court for the State of Delaware, County of New Castle (Case No. N18C-07-254). Mr. Warren alleges in his Complaint that MPTC has breached its obligation to pay him under an Assignment and Grant of Revenue Interest dated February 7, 2014. Mr. Warren seeks damages from MPTC in excess of $550,000, plus interest, costs and attorneys’ fees. Mr. Warren also seeks an accounting from MPTC of certain expenditures that he claims are relevant to the determination of the amount owed under the Assignment and Grant of Revenue Interest. Mr. Warren has asserted a claim against the Senior Lender entities for tortious interference with the contract. He seeks damages from the Senior Lender entities in excess of $550,000, plus interest and costs. The damages requested by Mr. Warren in his tortious interference claim against Senior Lender entities appear duplicative of the damages requested by Mr. Warren in his breach of contract claim against MPTC, but the Complaint is not clear on this matter. It is a condition to the closing of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds that Mr. Warren’s complaint is dismissed with prejudice.

9. UMB Health Sciences Research Park Corporation Payment. The following sentence replaces the last sentence in the paragraph on page 25, under the heading

Senior Loan / Equipment Deferral $236,717,392 $199,000,000 $25,000,000 $224,000,000 5%

“UMB Health Sciences Research Park Corporation (“RPC”) in APPENDIX B – MARYLAND PROTON TREATMENT CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY:

Common area maintenance charges commenced March 1, 2016 at $400,000 per year, increasing 2.0% each January 1st. The current annual cost is $416,160.

10. Patient Throughput Time. The following information replaces the second paragraph on page 58, Exhibit 19: Results from 100 Days of Simulated MPTC Operation at the top of page 59 and the paragraph immediately following the chart in APPENDIX B – MARYLAND PROTON TREATMENT CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY:

Researchers concluded that in a scenario with 4 gantries and 5 imaging rooms in operation, decreasing the arrival rate of patients from 12 per hour to approximately 11 reduced the total time spent per patient by 55%. The scenario of 5 operating gantry rooms and imaging room had a longer total time spent per patient but the highest numbers of patients treated per day.

Exhibit 19: Results from 100 Days of Simulated MPTC Operation

Number of rooms Number of patients Gantry Imaging Per hour Per day

4 4 11.25 157.50 4 5 11.25 157.50 4 5 12.00 168.00 5 5 12.00 168.00 5 5 13.33 186.67

The study illustrated how efficiency in treatment room use affects patient wait times and the number of patients the Center can treat. While useful, the results from the study are gleaned from simulation, and MPTC has now been in operation for almost two years, and therefore real-world data is increasingly available.

11. Revised Projected Financial Performance – Cash Basis. The following table replaces the table in APPENDIX B – MARYLAND PROTON TREATMENT CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY – Exhibit 40: Projected Financial Performance – Cash Basis (2018-2047):

Purchaser acknowledges that it has not relied upon the Authority for any information in connection with the Purchaser’s purchase of the Bonds.

The Purchaser also acknowledges that the Bonds do not represent general obligations of the Authority, the State or any political subdivision or agency thereof.

UNRATEDNEW ISSUE BOOK-ENTRY ONLY

In the opinion of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, Bond Counsel to the Authority, based upon an analysis of existing laws, regulations, rulings and court decisions, and assuming, among other matters, the accuracy of certain representations and compliance with certain covenants, interest on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). In the further opinion of Bond Counsel, interest on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds is not a specific preference item for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any other tax consequences related to the ownership or disposition of, or the amount, accrual or receipt of interest on, the Series 2018A-1 Bonds. See “Tax Matters”.

The Authority shall give written notice to the Trustee of any Determination of Taxability of which it has actual knowledge but shall have no liability for its failure to deliver such notice in a timely manner.

Page 27: Public Finance Authority

-10-

Within 30 days after the Trustee receives notice from the Authority of a Determination of Taxability, the Trustee shall give written notice to the Authority stating the date upon which all Outstanding Series 2018 Bonds will be redeemed, which date shall be not less than 45 days nor more than 60 days subsequent to the date of said notice by the Trustee, and the Trustee shall make all necessary arrangements for giving the notice of redemption requirement pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof.

Neither the Authority nor any owner of the Series 2018 Bonds shall be required to contest or appeal any notice of deficiency, ruling, decision or legislative enactment which may give rise to a Determination of Taxability, and the expenses of any such contest or appeal shall be paid by the party initiating the contest or appeal (except, in the case of the Authority’s expenses, to the extent that provision for payment thereof shall be made from the Extraordinary Expense Fund).

Selection of Series 2018 Bonds to be Redeemed

If less than all of the Series 2018 Bonds subject to optional redemption are called for redemption, such redemption shall be applied first to the principal amount of all Outstanding Series 2018A-1 Bonds, then to the principal amount of all Outstanding Series 2018A-2 Bonds, then to the principal amount of all Outstanding Series 2018B-1 Bonds, then to the principal amount of all Outstanding Series 2018B-2 Bonds, then to the principal amount of all Outstanding Series 2018C Bonds, without differentiation by maturity or within a maturity. If less than all of the Series 2018 Bonds of a single maturity within the same Series are to be redeemed, the Series 2018 Bonds of such Series to be redeemed will be selected by lot; provided, that the portion of any Series 2018 Bond of a Series of a denomination greater than the minimum Authorized Denomination for the Series 2018 Bonds of such Series to be redeemed shall be redeemed in part only in an Authorized Denomination and that, in selecting portions of Series 2018 Bonds of a Series for redemption, the Trustee shall treat each Series 2018 Bond of such Series as representing that number of Series 2018 Bonds of the minimum Authorized Denomination for such Series which is obtained by dividing the principal amount of such Series 2018 Bond to be redeemed in part by the minimum Authorized Denomination for such Series.

Notice of Redemption

Notice of mandatory and optional redemption of Series 2018 Bonds shall be given as follows. When the Trustee shall have received from the Authority a Direction to redeem Series 2018 Bonds, the Trustee shall give notice, in the name of the Authority, of the redemption of such Series 2018 Bonds, which notice shall specify the Series and maturities of the Series 2018 Bonds to be redeemed, the Redemption Date and the place or places where amounts due upon such Redemption Date will be payable and, if less than all of the Series 2018 Bonds of any like Series and maturity are to be redeemed, the letters and numbers or other distinguishing marks of such Series 2018 Bonds so to be redeemed, and, in the case of Series 2018 Bonds to be redeemed in part only, such notices shall also specify the respective portions of the principal amounts thereof to be redeemed. Such notice shall further state that on such Redemption Date there shall become due and payable upon each Series 2018 Bond to be redeemed the Redemption Price thereof, or the Redemption Price of the specified portions of the principal thereof, in the case of Series 2018 Bonds to be redeemed in part only, together with interest accrued to the Redemption Date, and that from and after such date interest thereon shall cease to accrue and be payable. The Trustee shall mail a copy of such notice, first class mail postage prepaid, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days before the Redemption Date (or such shorter period as shall be provided by Supplemental Indenture), and to the Owners of any registered Series 2018 Bonds, or portions of registered Series 2018 Bonds that are to be redeemed, at their last addresses, if any, appearing upon the Register.

In addition to the notice of redemption required pursuant to the preceding paragraph, upon the Request of the Authority received at least 40 days before the date fixed for redemption, the Trustee shall also give redemption notice at least 30 days before the date fixed for redemption, by (i) registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (ii) telephonically confirmed facsimile transmission, or (iii) overnight delivery service, to the Securities Depositories and/or Information Services specified by the Authority.

The Authority may, at its option at least 5 days prior to the date fixed for redemption in any notice of redemption, rescind and cancel such notice of redemption by Request to the Trustee and the Trustee shall distribute,

Page 28: Public Finance Authority

-11-

in the same manner as the original notice, notice of such cancellation to the recipients of the notice of redemption being cancelled.

Failure to give the notices described above, or any defects therein, shall not in any manner affect the validity of any proceedings for redemption of any other Series 2018 Bonds for which such notice has been duly given, or for the rescission of such redemption notice. Neither the Authority nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any defect in the CUSIP number that appears on any Series 2018 Bonds or in any redemption notice with respect thereto, and any such redemption notice may contain a statement to the effect that CUSIP numbers have been assigned by an independent service for convenience of reference and that neither the Authority nor the Trustee shall be liable for any inaccuracy in such numbers.

Payment of Redeemed Series 2018 Bonds

Notice having been given in the manner provided above, the Series 2018 Bonds or portions thereof so called for redemption shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date so designated at the Redemption Price, plus interest accrued and unpaid to the Redemption Date, and upon presentation and surrender thereof at the office specified in such notice. If there shall be called for redemption less than all of the principal of any Series 2018 Bond, the Authority shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon the surrender of such Series 2018 Bond, without charge to the Owner thereof, for the unredeemed balance of the principal amount of the Series 2018 Bond so surrendered, Series 2018 Bonds of like Series and maturity in any Authorized Denomination. If, on the Redemption Date, moneys for the redemption of all the Series 2018 Bonds or portions thereof of any like Series and maturity to be redeemed, together with interest to the Redemption Date, shall be held by the Trustee so as to be available therefor on said date and if notice of redemption shall have been given as aforesaid, then, from and after the Redemption Date interest on the Series 2018 Bonds or portions thereof of such Series and maturity so called for redemption shall cease to accrue and become payable. If such moneys shall not be so available on the Redemption Date, such Series 2018 Bonds or portions thereof shall continue to bear interest until paid at the same rate as they would have borne interest at had they not been called for redemption.

Book-Entry-Only System

The DTC Bonds will be delivered in book-entry-only form. DTC will act as securities depository for the DTC Bonds. The DTC Bonds will be issued as fully registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee) or other such name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully registered bond certificate will be issued for each series and each maturity within such series of the DTC Bonds, in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity, and will be held by the Trustee in accordance with DTC’s Fast Automated Securities Transfer program.

DTC is a limited purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments from over 100 countries that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Securities Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (the “Indirect Participants”). The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Page 29: Public Finance Authority

-12-

Purchases of DTC Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the DTC Bonds on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each DTC Bond (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the DTC Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in DTC Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the DTC Bonds is discontinued.

To facilitate subsequent transfers, all DTC Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co. or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of DTC Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other nominee do not affect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the DTC Bonds; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such DTC Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.

Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the DTC Bonds are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed.

Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor such other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the DTC Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the Authority as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the DTC Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).

Payments of principal of and interest on the DTC Bonds will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts, upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detailed information from the Authority or the Trustee on payable dates in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with DTC Bonds held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC nor its nominee, the Trustee, or the Authority, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal and interest is the responsibility of the Authority or the Trustee, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.

DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the DTC Bonds at any time by giving reasonable prior notice to the Authority or the Trustee. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained, DTC Bond certificates are required to be printed and delivered.

The Authority may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, DTC Bond certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC.

The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that the Authority, the Underwriters and the Operator believe to be reliable, but none of the Authority, the Underwriters or the Operator takes responsibility for the accuracy thereof.

Page 30: Public Finance Authority

-13-

None of the Authority, the Operator or the Trustee will have any responsibility or obligation to Direct Participants, Indirect Participants, or any Beneficial Owner with respect to (a) the accuracy of any records maintained by DTC, any Direct Participant, or any Indirect Participant; (b) any notice that is permitted or required to be given to the Owners of DTC Bonds under the Indenture; (c) the payment by DTC or any Direct Participant or Indirect Participant of any amount with respect to the principal or interest due with respect to the Owner of the DTC Bonds; (d) any consent given or other action taken by DTC as the Owner of DTC Bonds; or (e) any other matter regarding DTC.

Transfer and Exchange

The Series 2018A-1 Bonds and beneficial ownership interests therein are offered hereby only to “Qualified Institutional Buyers” as that term is defined under Rule 144A of the Securities and Exchange Commission, as promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Initial purchasers shall execute and deliver an investor letter in form and substance satisfactory to the Authority, in substantially the form shown in Appendix J.

Subsequent transfers of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds are restricted to investors who are Qualified Institutional Buyers. The Series 2018A-1 Bonds will bear a legend to such effect.

PROJECT PARTICIPANTS

The Authority

Formation and Governance

In early 2010, both houses of the Wisconsin Legislature passed 2009 Wisconsin Act 205 (“Act 205”), which was signed into law by the Governor of the State of Wisconsin (the “State”) on April 21, 2010. Act 205 added Section 66.0304 to the Wisconsin Statutes (the “Statute”) authorizing two or more political subdivisions to create a commission to issue bonds under the Statute. Before an agreement for the creation of such a commission could take effect, Act 205 requires that such agreement be submitted to the Attorney General of the State of Wisconsin to determine whether the agreement is in proper form and compatible with the laws of the State. The Authority was formed upon execution of a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement Relating to the Public Finance Authority dated as of June 30, 2010, as amended by an Amended and Restated Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement Relating to the Public Finance Authority dated September 28, 2010 (as amended and as may be further amended from time to time, the “Joint Exercise Agreement”) among Adams County, Wisconsin, Bayfield County, Wisconsin, Marathon County, Wisconsin, Waupaca County, Wisconsin and the City of Lancaster, Wisconsin (each a “Member” and, collectively, the “Members, “ which term shall include any political subdivision designated in the future as a “Member” of the Authority pursuant to the Joint Exercise Agreement). The Joint Exercise Agreement was approved by the Attorney General on September 30, 2010. The Statute also provides that only one commission may be formed thereunder.

Pursuant to the Statute, the Authority is a unit of government and a body corporate and politic separate and distinct from, and independent of, the State of Wisconsin and the Members. The Authority was established by local governments, primarily for local governments, for the public purpose of providing local governments a means to efficiently and reliably finance projects that benefit local governments, and nonprofit organizations and other eligible private borrowers in the State of Wisconsin and throughout the country.

Powers

Under the Statute, the Authority has all of the powers necessary or convenient to any of the purposes of Act 205, including, among other things, the power to acquire, buy, sell, lease, encumber, mortgage, hypothecate, pledge, assign, or transfer any property or interest in property that is located within or outside of the State and the power to issue bonds, notes or other obligations or refunding obligations to finance or refinance a project, make loans to, lease property from or to enter into agreements with a participant or other entity in connection with financing a project. The proceeds of bonds issued by the Authority may be used for a project in the State or any other state or territory of the United States, or outside the United States if a participating borrower is incorporated and maintains its principal

Page 31: Public Finance Authority

-14-

place of business in the United States or its territories. The Statute defines “project” as any capital improvement, purchase of receivables, property, assets, commodities, bonds or other revenue streams or related assets, working capital program, or liability or other insurance program, located within or outside of the State.

Governing Body

The Joint Exercise Agreement provides for a Board of Directors of the Authority (the “Board”) consisting of seven directors (each a “Director” and collectively, the “Directors”), a majority of whom are required to be public officials or current or former employees of a political subdivision located in the State. The Directors serve staggered three-year terms. The Directors are selected by majority vote of the Board based upon nomination by the organization that nominated the predecessor Director. Four Directors are nominated by the Wisconsin Counties Association, and one Director is nominated from each of the National League of Cities, the National Association of Counties and the League of Wisconsin Municipalities (said organizations being sometimes referred to herein, collectively, as the “Sponsors”). Each of the Sponsors may also nominate an alternate Director for each Director it nominates to serve on the Board in the place of and in the absence or disability of a Director. Directors and alternate Directors may be removed and replaced at any time by the Board upon recommendation of the Sponsor that nominated such Director.

The Directors as of the date of this Official Statement are identified in the table below. There is currently one vacant Board seat (representing the nominee of the National League of Cities) and one Alternate Director (nominated by the Wisconsin Counties Association).

See “APPENDIX B – MARYLAND PROTON TREATMENT CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY.”

Feasibility Consultant

IHS Global, Inc. (the “Feasibility Consultant”) has prepared the Maryland Proton Treatment Center Feasibility Study (the “Feasibility Study”). The Feasibility Consultant’s team members have experience conducting feasibility studies on behalf of acute care hospitals and other health care providers, including proton treatment centers. Examples of previous studies can be found in the Feasibility Study.

The Feasibility Study analyzes certain technical and economic aspects of the Project and includes projections of revenues, expenses and debt service coverage for the Project during the period the Series 2018A-1 Bonds are expected to be outstanding as well as a proton therapy industry overview. The Feasibility Study is included in this Official Statement as APPENDIX B. The full report should be read in its entirety in order to evaluate the Feasibility Consultant’s estimates, opinions and conclusions.

PROTON THERAPY OVERVIEW

The information under this heading is attributable to the Feasibility Consultant. For more information relating to the proton therapy industry, see “APPENDIX B – MARYLAND PROTON TREATMENT CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY.”

Radiation therapy utilizes ionizing radiation, which leaves behind energy in the cells it passes through. High doses of radiation energy damage the genetic material inside DNA, preventing cells from repairing themselves. Damaging a cell’s DNA impairs its ability to divide, and while both normal and malignant cells have repair processes that can mend damaged DNA, the reparative abilities of malignant cells are often weaker. Therefore, they are more susceptible to cell death following ionization, which allows radiation therapy to induce selective cell death.

Proton beam therapy represents one of the latest in a series of enhancements in radiation therapy. Proton

beam therapy has the following advantages over conventional radiation therapy:

1. The Bragg Peak: Protons have a unique energy distribution profile, known as the Bragg Peak, which makes them ideal for use in radiation therapy. They enter the body at extremely high speeds, which means that tissues at the site of entry and along the path to the target are exposed to minimal radiation, and most of the protons’ energy is expended at the terminus of its path. A small amount of radiation dose is delivered 1-2 mm beyond the stopping point of the proton particle, beyond which point there is essentially no radiation dose, limiting any potential radiation damage to the tissues and organs behind the tumor (as depicted on the next page in Exhibit 1).

Page 35: Public Finance Authority

-18-

Exhibit 1: Bragg Peak Dose Distribution

Source: Feasibility Study.

2. Increased control: The properties of proton therapy allow clinicians to deliver much higher doses with greater precision, potentially improving local tumor control. Increased control and precision is achieved by varying the velocity at which protons are launched into the body, which modifies the Bragg Peak and allows clinicians to contour the beam to the tumor (as depicted below in Exhibit 2).

Exhibit 2: Variance of Bragg Peak Depth

Source: Feasibility Study.

Due to the implications of less damage inflicted on tissues and organs in general, and more importantly to structures in close proximity to the target site, proton therapy is noted as being particularly suited for cases where limiting this damage is of great importance. A prime example is pediatric cancer patients, where limiting the exposure of still developing tissues and organs to unnecessary radiation is one of the highest priorities. In the same vein, the treatment is also well suited for cancers located in parts of the body where even the potential of damage is

Page 36: Public Finance Authority

-19-

unacceptable, such as the brain, eye, head, neck, central nervous system as well as the breast, given its proximity to the heart.

In recognition of the potential benefits that proton beam therapy can bring, and tied to the expected general increase in demand for radiation therapy, the number of proton therapy centers globally and nationally has grown significantly. There are currently approximately 21 operating centers in Europe, 17 in Asia, one in Africa and 28 in the United States. An additional 12 U.S. centers are under construction or in the planning stages.

THE PROJECT

The Project is located at 850 West Baltimore Street in Baltimore, Maryland on the campus of the University of Maryland BioPark (the “BioPark”). The BioPark is adjacent to the University of Maryland’s Baltimore campus, as well as the University of Maryland’s School of Medicine and the University of Maryland Medical Center. The Project is a 110,000 square foot, purpose-built building with 40,000 square feet of radiation shielded space. The Project features a five (5) treatment room configuration, including four (4) rotational gantries, one (1) fixed beam room, a full diagnostic suite with magnetic resonance imaging, computer tomography, physician offices as well as research and development space for clinical research. All treatment rooms are equipped with the Varian Pro-Beam® System, including Pencil Beam Scanning, Intensity Modulated Proton Therapy and volumetric Image Guided Radiation technology. The Operator, as the prior owner of the Project, developed and constructed and has been operating the Project. The Project broke ground in April 2012 and treated its first patients in February 2016. The Project has the capacity to administer approximately 45,000 proton treatments per year, which translates to an estimated 1,500 patients per year. The Project is staffed with physicians and medical support personnel provided by UMROA. See “PRINCIPAL PROJECT AGREEMENTS,” “APPENDIX A – THE PROJECT AND THE OPERATOR” and “APPENDIX B – MARYLAND PROTON TREATMENT CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY.”

PRINCIPAL PROJECT AGREEMENTS

Ground Lease

The following is a summary of certain provisions of the Ground Lease pursuant to which the real property underlying the Project has been leased to the Authority by the Operator. This summary is not a complete recital of the terms of the Ground Lease and reference is made to the Ground Lease in its entirety. The form of the Ground Lease is available upon request.

Ground Lease Terms. Pursuant to the Ground Lease, the Operator has leased to the Authority the real property on which the building comprising the Project is located. The term of the Ground Lease is 80 years. The Ground Lease contains provisions (a) permitting the Operator to terminate the Ground Lease at any time after the 60th lease year, and (b) permitting the Authority to terminate the Ground Lease at any time after (i) the Bonds have been fully repaid and the Indenture is discharged, and (ii) the Leasehold Mortgage has been released.

Rent. On the commencement date of the Ground Lease, the Authority shall pay to the Operator the amount of $221,000,000. For each of the second through 80th lease years of the Ground Lease, the Authority shall pay to the Operator fixed rent in the amount of $1.00 per lease year, payable on the first day of each lease year. In addition to fixed rent, the Authority is responsible for all costs pertaining to the property and its operation and use, including all real estate taxes. Installments of fixed rent or additional rent past due for more than 5 business days are subject to an interest rate in an amount equal to the Prime Rate plus 6%, plus an administrative charge equal to 10% of the amount due.

Permitted Use. The premises may be used for any lawful purpose, including, without limitation, for a radiation therapy cancer treatment center and uses incidental thereto. The Ground Lease states that the Authority may discontinue operation of the premises at any time. However, please see “RISK FACTORS - Specialty Nature of Project” for information on a restrictive easement affecting the use of the premises.

Defaults and Remedies. The occurrence of any of the following will constitute a default by the Authority under the Ground Lease (each an “Event of Default”):

(a) If a monetary default occurs and continues for 90 days after notice from the Operator.

Page 37: Public Finance Authority

-20-

(b) Failure to commence and diligently prosecute appropriate action to clear a prohibited lien from title, as specified in the Ground Lease, which failure continues for 90 days after notice from the Operator.

(c) If the Authority ceases to pay its debts as they become due or becomes subject to any bankruptcy proceeding, or if a custodian or trustee is appointed to take possession of substantially all of Authority’s assets or Authority’s interest in the Ground Lease.

(d) Failure to perform or comply with any of the other terms, covenants or conditions contained in the Ground Lease (a “Nonmonetary Default”), which Nonmonetary Default continues for 90 days after notice from the Operator; provided that if such Nonmonetary Default cannot be cured within 90 days, the Authority shall have such additional reasonable time, not to exceed 90 days, necessary to cure so long as the Authority is diligently pursuing the cure.

If an Event of Default occurs, the Operator may, in addition to its remedies available at law or in equity, pursue one or more of the following remedies:

(a) Following an additional 30 days’ notice, terminate the Authority’s right to possess the premises, in which case the Ground Lease shall terminate.

(b) Re-enter and take possession of the premises, with or without terminating the Ground Lease.

(c) Sue for damages or to recover rent.

(d) Change the locks and other security devices providing admittance to the premises.

(e) Recover from the Authority all damages the Operator incurs by reason of the Event of Default, including reasonable costs of recovering possession and reletting the premises.

Rights of Leasehold Mortgagees. If the Authority enters into any leasehold mortgage, and notice of such leasehold mortgage has been given to the Operator, the Operator agrees for the benefit of each leasehold mortgagee that:

(a) If a default occurs and the Authority does not cure such default within the applicable cure period, the Operator will give notice to the leasehold mortgagee (the “Cure Period Expiration Notice”). The leasehold mortgagee shall have the right to perform any obligation of the Authority to cure the default and may enter the premises and take any actions necessary to effect its cure rights, as more particularly set forth below.

(b) If the leasehold mortgagee cures a default the Ground Lease shall continue in full force and effect. The leasehold mortgage’s exercise of its cure rights shall not be deemed an assumption of the Ground Lease by the leasehold mortgagee.

(c) The Operator shall not exercise any of its remedies upon a default so long as the leasehold mortgagee’s cure period has not expired.

(d) In the event of termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including a rejection of the Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding, the Operator shall, at the leasehold mortgagee’s option, exercised within 10 business days after notice from the Operator, enter into a new lease with the leasehold mortgagee or its nominee for the remainder of the term of the Ground Lease. The new lease shall contain all of the same terms and provisions of the original Ground Lease.

Leasehold Mortgagee’s Cure Rights. If any default under the Ground Lease occurs, then a leasehold mortgagee shall have the same cure period, if any, available to the Authority under the Ground Lease, plus the additional time provided for below:

(a) In the case of (1) a monetary default or (2) a Nonmonetary Default that the leasehold mortgagee can reasonably cure without obtaining possession of the premises, the leasehold mortgagee shall have 60 days after receiving the Cure Period Expiration Notice.

(b) In the case of (1) a Nonmonetary Default that the leasehold mortgagee cannot reasonably cure without obtaining possession of the premises, or (2) any Authority-specific default that the leasehold mortgagee cannot reasonably cure:

Page 38: Public Finance Authority

-21-

(i) The leasehold mortgagee shall have 60 days after receiving the Cure Period Expiration Notice to initiate proceedings to obtain control of the premises; and

(ii) The leasehold mortgagee shall have 60 days after obtaining control of the premises to cure the default, or an additional reasonable amount of time if the default cannot be cured within 60 days.

Encumbering Title. By deed of even date as the Ground Lease, the Operator shall convey its fee estate, subject to the Authority’s leasehold estate, in the premises to UMB Health Sciences Research Park Corporation (“RPC”). Such entity shall succeed to the interests of the Operator under the Ground Lease.

The Operator has agreed with FPI (hereinafter defined) pursuant to the FPI Letter of Intent (hereinafter defined) to use its best efforts to have RPC’s reversionary interest in the premises conveyed to FPI. The Ground Lease provides that until all Bonds have been fully repaid, the Indenture discharged and the Leasehold Mortgage has been released, RPC may not convey its interest in the premises without the Authority’s consent. The Operator intends to request such consent by the Authority subsequent to the closing of the Series 2018 Bonds. As of the date of this Official Statement, no such request has been made, and the Authority has not agreed to provide such consent.

Facility Operating Agreement

The Project will be operated by Maryland Proton Treatment Center, LLC (the “Operator”) pursuant to a Facility Operating Agreement, dated the date of issuance of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds, between the Authority and the Operator (the “Facility Operating Agreement”).

The Proposed Budget shall also take into account the sale of any equipment; provided, however, that the sale of any equipment that is part of the Project for an amount in excess of $1,000,000 shall require the consent of the Authority unless otherwise contemplated in the Approved Operating Plan and Budget or Approved Capital Budget. The Proposed Budget must result in a Debt Service Coverage Ratio that is greater than the Debt Service Coverage Requirement. If the Proposed Budget does not result in a Debt Service Coverage Ratio that is greater than the Debt Service Coverage Requirement, the Operator shall also include with the Proposed Budget a detailed written explanation as to why the Operator has not budgeted to attain such ratio. Upon receipt of the Proposed Budget, the Designated Agent shall have the right to independently review and notify the Operator, as soon as possible, but in any event no later than within thirty (30) days if the Designated Agent objects to any part of the Proposed Budget. If the Designated Agent objects to any part of the Proposed Budget, the Operator will make reasonable efforts to revise the proposed plan and budget as requested by the Designated Agent. If the parties to the Facility Operating Agreement have not agreed on the Proposed Budget, or any portion thereof, within thirty (30) days after presentation of the Proposed Budget to the Designated Agent, until such time as the Proposed Budget has been approved in its entirety, all items comprising the Proposed Budget which have theretofore been agreed upon by the Designated Agent and the Operator shall be deemed part of the Approved Operating Plan and Budget and, with respect to those items which have not yet been agreed upon the Operator shall continue to operate the Project in accordance with the standards of operation and operating policies in effect during the preceding Operating Year. The final Proposed Budget submitted to the Designated Agent and to which the Designated Agent confirms in writing that it has no objection is referred to herein as, the “Approved Operating Plan and Budget” and the “Approved Capital Budget,” respectively.

Any such Liquidity Reserve Fund Request shall describe the cause of such emergency, the actions needed in connection with such emergency, and the cost of taking such actions. If the Operator disburses funds from the Project Operating Account for the purposes described in this paragraph, the Operator will submit to Trustee a Request from the Liquidity Reserve Fund to reimburse the Project Operating Account for the amount so disbursed; provided, that the Designated Agent has approved such Request prior to submission to the Trustee.

Approved Capital Budget; Deviations; Emergency Expenditures.

(a) The Operator shall request the Authority to direct the Trustee to make payment from the Repair and Replacement Fund under the Indenture for Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment (“FF&E”) and Capital Expenses included in the Approved Capital Budget. The Trustee will disburse funds from the Repair and Replacement Fund in accordance with the Indenture.

Any such request will describe the cause of such emergency, the repairs needed in connection with such emergency, and the cost of making such repairs. If the Operator disburses funds from the Project Operating Account for the purposes described in this paragraph, the Operator will submit to Trustee a Request for a disbursement from the Liquidity Reserve Fund to reimburse the Project Operating Account for the amount so disbursed; provided that the Designated Agent has approved such Request prior to submission to the Trustee.

Collection of Gross Revenues. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Bond Documents and the Facility Operating Agreement, the Operator will, and will cause each Revenue Contractor (if any) to:

(a) Collection Accounts. Deposit all payments that include amounts that are Gross Operating Revenues into a Collection Account, promptly but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof. The Operator will cause amounts held in any Government Pay Collection Account, regardless of amount, to be swept on each Business Day into a Private Pay Collection Account.

(b) Project Operating Account. Establish an Operating Account (the “Project Operating Account”) and cause all amounts in the Private Pay Collection Accounts to be swept on each Business Day into the Project Operating Account and withdraw funds in the Project Operating Account to pay Operating Expenses, Professional Fee Revenues, and Excluded Taxes and Other Charges related to the Project; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operator shall not make any payments out of the Project Operating Account except for expenditures specifically contemplated by the Approved Operating Plan and Budget or as otherwise expressly permitted under the terms of the Facility Operating Agreement and the Indenture.

(c) Perfected Security Interest. Cause each Private Pay Collection Account and the Project Operating Account to be subject to an “account control agreement” that provides for “control” (within the meaning of Section 9-104 or 9-106 of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code) of such Private Pay Collection Account and/or the Project Operating Account by the Collateral Agent and that permits the

Page 41: Public Finance Authority

-24-

Operator or the applicable Revenue Contractor, prior to the Collateral Agent providing a notice of exclusive control, to direct the transfer of funds from such Private Pay Collection Account and/or the Project Operating Account in accordance with the requirements of the Facility Operating Agreement, the Bond Documents, the Assigned Authority Documents and the underlying contract between Operator and any such Revenue Contractor.

(d) Transfers to Revenue Fund. On the first Business Day of each month, transfer all amounts in the Project Operating Account in excess of $4,700,000.00 (measured as of the last Business Day of the preceding month) to the Trustee for deposit in the Revenue Fund and application in accordance with the Indenture.

In the event the Operator terminates the O&M Agreement, Varian shall promptly refund to the Operator the Support Services Fees paid by the Operator prorated for the remainder of the then current Support Period. Subject to the dispute resolution provisions set forth in the O&M Agreement, Varian may terminate the O&M Agreement for cause if the Operator fails to pay any amount due within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice that such amount is past due. Subject to the dispute resolution provisions set forth in the O&M Agreement, either party may terminate the O&M Agreement if the other party (i) materially breaches a material non-payment provision, other than the warranties, and fails to commence and diligently continue correction of such breach within sixty (60) days after written notice of the breach, or (ii) generally fails to pay or admits an inability to pay its debts as they become due, is in receivership or dissolution, is adjudicated a bankrupt, files a petition in voluntary bankruptcy, or other similar action. Any termination will be effective upon the termination date specified in the written notice of termination, provided that such date is not inconsistent with the minimum time periods specified in the applicable termination provision. Termination shall not eliminate or otherwise affect any rights or liabilities of either party that accrued prior to termination, and certain provisions (including taxes, representations and warranties, indemnification, confidentiality and non-solicitation) shall survive the expiration or termination of the O&M Agreement.

Non-Solicitation Covenant.

FEASIBILITY STUDY

The Operator has engaged the Feasibility Consultant to analyze the Project. For more information about the Feasibility Consultant, see “PROJECT PARTICIPANTS – Feasibility Consultant” herein. A copy of the Feasibility Study is attached hereto as “APPENDIX B – MARYLAND PROTON TREATMENT CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY.”

Below are certain conclusions expressed by the Feasibility Consultant in the Feasibility Study. This is merely a summary and is subject to and qualified by the information contained, and the assumptions made, in the Feasibility Study. The Feasibility Study should be read in its entirety in order for the reader to completely understand the basis of the conclusions and the assumptions upon which they are based. Capitalized terms used in the summary below are defined in the Feasibility Study.

• Change is a constant in oncology care. Further complicating future predictions is the position of the proton therapy industry, and by extension the Project, within a healthcare environment that prioritizes cost containment yet increasingly views proton therapy as a natural extension of the current culture of precision therapy that has developed over the last several decades.

• A number of factors support industry growth. These include rising demand for this technology stemming from a growing and rapidly aging population, growing evidence of clinical efficacy, generally adequate public and private third-party reimbursement to support efficiently delivered care and rapid technological advances making proton therapy centers more scalable and cost efficient. Potential future areas of uncertainty include the competitive environment, potential long-term technology obsolescence and shifting physician preference patterns.

• Looking to the future, the evolution of proton therapy appears to be moving in a positive direction as evidenced by the growing number of centers being planned and implemented. Well-designed centers incorporating advanced technology and operating efficiencies that are affiliated with reliable patient referral sources such as academic medical centers with strong oncology programs and affiliate networks should be well positioned for sustainable growth.

• This feasibility study considered the possible implications of changing external factors and dynamics within the anticipated market to be served by the Project as well as internal operating characteristics of the Project. Examples of external factors assessed included implications of increasing service demand from a growing and aging population, patient referral patterns, Project affiliations, third-party coverage and payment policies and potential future competition. Internal operating characteristics examined included patient case mix, financial performance, technology features, operating efficiency, and strategic relationships.

• Taking the totality of these factors into account, the Project appears favorably positioned for future success and sustainability. Although operating in a cost-adverse healthcare landscape, this well-designed center incorporates advanced technology features and operating efficiencies. Equally important for long-term sustainability is its affiliation with the University of Maryland and affiliates through agreements that provide patients, staffing and treatment guidelines. As discussed

Page 57: Public Finance Authority

-40-

above, this affiliation positions the Project to benefit from a robust and reliable patient referral source and nationally recognized oncology program.

FUNDING PLAN

A portion of the proceeds of the Series 2018A Bonds are to be deposited in the Project Fund held by the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture and disbursed on the date of issuance of the Series 2018 Bonds in order to consummate the acquisition of the Project by the Authority (the “Acquisition”). In addition, a portion of the proceeds of the Series 2018A Bonds will be deposited in the following funds and accounts: the Senior Debt Service Reserve Fund, the Capitalized Interest Subaccount of the Senior Debt Service Account, the Repair and Replacement Fund, the Liquidity Reserve Fund and the Extraordinary Expense Fund as well as in the Operating Account of the Operator established in accordance with and pursuant to the Facility Operating Agreement.

As part of the cost of the Acquisition, the Series 2018B Bonds and the Series 2018C Bonds will be issued to the Operator, or other parties as directed by the Operator, as described under the heading “PRINCIPAL PROJECT AGREEMENTS – Asset Purchase Agreement.”

The University of Maryland Faculty Physicians Inc. (“FPI”), on behalf of itself and UMB, has signed a letter of intent (the “FPI Letter of Intent”) to purchase an aggregate of $8,250,000 of the Series 2018A-2 Bonds, and UMMS has signed a letter of intent to purchase $1,750,000 of the Series 2018A-2 Bonds.

Series 2018B Bonds will be issued to Varian (approximately $46 million*) and The University of Maryland College Park Foundation, Inc. (approximately 3.7 million*) in exchange for the release of claims and liens by Varian and The University of Maryland College Park Foundation, Inc. against the Operator and its assets contemporaneously with the issuance of the Series 2018B Bonds and the consummation of the Acquisition.

Series 2018 Bonds and Series 2018C Bonds will also be issued to various other existing creditors of the Operator in exchange for the release of claims and liens against the Operator and its assets contemporaneously with the issuance of the Series 2018 Bonds and the consummation of the Acquisition.

SUMMARY OF BOND STRUCTURING ASSUMPTIONS

Introduction

The following discussion describes the assumptions used to calculate the projected Turbo Redemptions and the projected Weighted Average Lives (as described under this heading) for the Series 2018A-1 Bonds (the “Structuring Assumptions”). The Structuring Assumptions for the Series 2018A-1 Bonds as described below were applied to the Operator’s Base Case Scenario, as set forth above under the heading “PROJECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION”.

Structuring Assumptions

The Structuring Assumptions described under this heading were prepared by the Underwriters and are believed to be reasonable. In addition, the Structuring Assumptions are based on the Operator’s projections which have been reviewed by the Feasibility Consultant. See “PROJECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION” herein and APPENDIX B – “MARYLAND PROTON TREATMENT CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY” attached hereto.

Some assumptions inevitably will not materialize and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur. Actual results achieved will vary from the results based on the Structuring Assumptions, and the variations may be material. If actual results are materially different from those assumed, it could have a material effect on the projections set forth under this heading. See “RISK FACTORS” herein.

Projected Turbo Redemptions

The following table was prepared by the Underwriters and sets forth the projected impact of Turbo Redemptions on the outstanding principal balance of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds in each Bond Year for the Base Case Scenario. The table shows for each period, the sum of the mandatory redemptions and the projected Turbo Redemptions and outstanding principal amounts under the Base Case Scenario. There can be no assurance that there will be sufficient funds available to redeem Series 2018A-1 Bonds in accordance with the following projections.

SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR SERIES 2018 BONDS

General

The Series 2018 Bonds will be special limited obligations of the Authority payable solely from Gross Operating Revenues and other funds pledged for their payment pursuant to the Indenture. The payment of the principal of, Redemption Price, if any, and interest on the Series 2018 Bonds will be secured under the Indenture by (i) moneys and investments held by the Trustee under, and to the extent provided in, the Indenture, including Gross Operating Revenues, and (ii) the Leasehold Mortgage.

Gross Operating Revenues mean all revenue and income of any kind derived directly or indirectly from operations at the Project, properly attributable to the period under consideration, determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and a uniform system of accounts (except that in determining the amount deposited into the Revenue Fund, such determination shall be made on a cash basis and except that revenues paid with respect to use of any part of the Project with respect to particular months or other period will be considered properly attributable to those months or other period even if received by the Trustee before or after), except that the following shall not be included in determining Gross Operating Revenues:

The fees and expenses of the Medical Consultant will be paid as an Operating Expense. Each party to the Operating Agreement will deliver to the other party at no additional charge copies of any information, correspondence or documents delivered to the Medical Consultant contemporaneously with delivering such information, correspondence or documents to the Medical Consultant.

MMBC will enter into an agreement with the Operator and the Trustee (the “Billing Direct Agreement”) consenting to the Operator’s collateral assignment of the Operator’s rights under the Billing Management and Consultant Services Agreement to the Authority and the Trustee.

UMMS will enter into an agreement with the Operator and the Trustee (the “UMMS Direct Agreement”) consenting to the Operator’s collateral assignment of the Operator’s rights under its agreements with UMMS to the Authority and the Trustee.

Each of the Direct Agreements is for the purpose of the respective contracting party acknowledging the assignment of its contract and agreeing that the Trustee may enforce its agreement upon an Event of Default.

RISK FACTORS

THE PURCHASE OF THE SERIES 2018A-1 BONDS IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RISKS.

Limited Sources of Payment

The Series 2018A-1 Bonds have three sources of payment, as follows:

(1) Revenues received by the Trustee from the Operator from the operation of the Project pursuant to the terms of the Facility Operating Agreement. As described in the immediately preceding subsection, the Authority has no obligation to pay the Series 2018A-1 Bonds except from the Revenues of the Project. The Series 2018A-1 Bonds and the interest and premium, if any, thereon are payable solely from the Revenues. Such Revenues are anticipated to be derived solely from the Operator’s operation of the Project and investment earnings on the funds held under the Indenture. However, no assurance can be made that Revenues will be realized in the amounts necessary, after payment of Operating Expenses of the Project, to pay maturing principal of, premium, if applicable, and interest on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds.

(2) Revenues received from operation of the Project by a receiver upon a default. With respect to this source (2), attempts to have a receiver appointed to take charge of properties with respect to which loans have been made are frequently met with defensive measures such as the initiation of protracted litigation and/or the initiation of bankruptcy proceedings, and such defensive measures can prevent the appointment of a receiver or greatly increase the expense and time involved in having a receiver appointed. It is therefore apparent that prospects for uninterrupted payment of principal and interest on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds in accordance with their terms are largely dependent upon source (1) above, which is wholly dependent upon the success of the Project operating in a profitable manner.

(3) Proceeds realized from the sale or lease of the Project to a third party by the Trustee at or following sale by the Trustee under the Leasehold Mortgage. With respect to this source (3), attempts to foreclose on commercial property or otherwise realize upon security for obligations may be met with defensive measures, such as protracted litigation and/or bankruptcy proceedings, and such defensive measures can greatly increase the expense and time involved in achieving such sale or other realization. In addition, the Project is designed for use as, and subject to a restrictive easement to operate as, a proton treatment facility and the Leasehold Mortgage encumbers a leasehold interest and not a fee interest. As a result, the Trustee could experience difficulty in selling or leasing the Project upon an Event of Default and the proceeds of such sale may not be sufficient to fully pay the owners of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds. In addition, the Leasehold Mortgage secures a maximum principal amount which is less than the aggregate principal amount of the Series 2018A Bonds at the time of issuance. The maximum principal amount secured under the Leasehold Mortgage will be $221,000,000. As a result, if it is necessary to foreclose or otherwise realize on the Leasehold Mortgage before the Series 2018A Bonds have amortized to an aggregate principal amount equal to or less than the maximum amount secured under the Leasehold Mortgage, then the holders of the Series 2018A Bonds will only be secured creditors up to such maximum principal amount ($221,000,000). To the extent proceeds are realized above such maximum principal amount, the holders of the Series 2018A Bonds would share such proceeds equally with other unsecured creditors.

The best prospects for uninterrupted payment of principal and interest on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds in accordance with their terms is source (1) above, which is wholly dependent upon the success of the Project operating in a profitable manner. Even if the Project is operating profitably, other factors could affect the ability of the Project to generate sufficient Revenues to pay maturing principal of, premium, if applicable, and interest on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds.

Sufficiency of Revenues

The primary source of moneys to pay the Series 2018A-1 Bonds is payments realized from treatment of patients. No representation or assurance can be made that Revenues will be realized by the Project in amounts sufficient to meet the obligations of the Authority under the Indenture. A significant portion of the expenses of the Project are fixed costs (including maintenance costs, labor costs and debt service). Realization of sufficient Revenues over the term of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds is subject to, among other things, the capabilities of the Operator as operator of the Project, the profitability of the Project, future economic conditions and market competition, the availability of qualified patients, changes in technology and other future conditions (such as governmental regulations affecting healthcare facilities and the payment of healthcare costs) that are unpredictable and may affect Revenues, operating and maintenance expenses, and payment of debt service on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds.

Enforceability of Remedies; Bankruptcy

The Authority has pledged or mortgaged all of its interest in the Project and the Revenues to the Trustee on behalf of the holders of the Series 2018 Bonds, subject to certain exceptions. Under the Indenture, if there is an Event of Default as defined therein, the Trustee may pursue any remedy permitted by law and the Bond Documents to exercise the remedies available to a secured creditor. See “PROPOSED FORM OF THE INDENTURE – Events of Default’ and “-Specific Remedies” in APPENDIX E hereto. There can be no assurance that the proceeds of a foreclosure sale of the Project, together with amounts on deposit in the accounts pledged to, and held by the Trustee, will be sufficient to pay unpaid principal of and interest on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds. Payments to the holders of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds can be delayed or reduced following a default under the Indenture.

Upon the occurrence of certain Events of Default, the Indenture provides that the Majority Holders may instruct the Trustee to accelerate the principal and interest on the Series 2018 Bonds and declare the same immediately due and payable. In connection with such declaration, the Majority Holders may also direct the Trustee to foreclose the Leasehold Mortgage.

Generally, if an Event of Default occurs and any Series 2018A-1 Bonds are accelerated, the Trustee is not obligated to exercise any of its rights or powers under any Bond Document (and any supplement thereto) unless the holders of affected Series 2018A Bonds offer the Trustee reasonable indemnity. Upon acceleration of the maturity of the Series 2018A Bonds following an Event of Default, the lien on the Project and the Revenues in favor of the Trustee for unpaid fees and expenses, will be senior to the lien in favor of the holders of the Series 2018A Bonds. As a result, any proceeds of sale of the Project will be applied first to the payment of unpaid fees and expenses of the Trustee before being applied to payment of unpaid principal, interest and other amounts due on the Series 2018A Bonds.

The lien of the Leasehold Mortgage will be insured by a title insurance policy in an amount equal to the maximum principal amount secured by the Leasehold Mortgage ($221,000,000). In the event that a title defect impairs the value of the Project, no assurance can be given that payments under the title insurance policy will be sufficient to offset the reduction in value caused by the title defect or that the combination of the proceeds of a foreclosure sale and payments under the title insurance policy will be sufficient to make timely payments of debt service on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds. There can be delays in, or reductions to, amounts paid to the holders of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds if the Trustee is required to commence litigation or other action against the title insurer in order to recover on the title insurance policy.

The Trustee has received a collateral assignment of the Material Project Documents pursuant to the Assignment of Contract Documents. In the event of a default, the Trustee may attempt to enforce the contractual obligations of the third parties under such Material Project Documents. If the Operator defaults on its obligations

Page 79: Public Finance Authority

-62-

under those Material Project Documents, such third parties might attempt to cancel their contracts with the Operator. The Trustee may attempt to cause such third parties to enter into similar contracts directly with the Trustee or its designee. There can be no assurance that the Trustee would be successful. In the event of the effective termination of any Project Document with the Operator, the third party to such Project Document is not contractually obligated to enter into a new Project Document with the Trustee on terms and conditions similar to those provided to the Operator. Accordingly, if such termination occurs outside of a bankruptcy proceeding, then in order to obtain the services provided or goods supplied under such terminated Project Document, the Trustee may need to negotiate a new contract with such third party or with another service provider. The new contract could (i) require the Trustee to cure any defaults of the Operator under such Project Document, (ii) require the Trustee to pay increased or additional amounts for services provided or goods supplied by such third party under such Project Document or (iii) impose totally new terms and conditions on the Trustee. The Operator has represented that the Material Project Documents are enforceable, but such enforceability is subject to the limitations imposed by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, and by general principles of equity.

If the Authority were to file a bankruptcy petition, the bankruptcy petition would be filed under the municipal bankruptcy provisions contained in Chapter 9 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). Among other requirements contained in the Bankruptcy Code necessary for filing a petition under Chapter 9, a municipality must be specifically authorized by the State in which it is formed to file a petition under Chapter 9. Under current Wisconsin law, the Authority is not authorized to file a petition under Chapter 9

The filing by, or against, the Operator for relief under the Bankruptcy Code could cause delays or reductions in payments to the holders of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds. Pursuant to section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, the filing of a bankruptcy petition creates an “automatic stay” that enjoins litigation against the debtor and its property and other efforts by creditors to enforce their claims, pending further order of the bankruptcy court. The filing would operate as an automatic stay of the commencement or continuation of any judicial or other proceeding against the Operator. As a result, the holders of the Series 2018A Bonds will need to obtain the permission of the bankruptcy court before any rights or remedies can be exercised by the Trustee or the holders of the Series 2018A Bonds against the Operator.

The Operator as debtor or a bankruptcy trustee for the Operator may seek, subject to approval by the bankruptcy court, to reject the Operator’s executory contracts (including the Facility Operating Agreement and the other Material Project Documents). If the bankruptcy court approves the rejection of such executory contract, the Operator would be relieved of its further performance obligations under such executory contract. (The third party to such executory contract would have a claim for damages resulting from the rejection of such executory contract.)

The Operator is a party to license agreements for the use of intellectual property, which license agreements are necessary for the operation of the Project. If a licensor of intellectual property becomes bankrupt and seeks to reject the license agreement in such bankruptcy proceeding, the Operator nonetheless should be able to continue to use such intellectual property for the life of the Project so long as the Operator continues to make the contractual payments due, if any, under such rejected license agreement. If such licensor rejects the license agreement, however, such licensor cannot be compelled to provide any updates, modifications or enhancement to such intellectual property.

Operating Risk

The Project has a limited operating history. The Project has been in operation for just over two years and has not yet commenced operating all five treatment rooms. The Authority will enter into the Facility Operating Agreement with the Operator to operate the Project. The Operator has been the entity operating the Project since the commencement of operations in 2016. The Operator has entered into various agreements with third parties to provide certain services to the Project as more particularly discussed herein.

As with any facilities of similar size and nature, the operations of the Project could be affected by many factors, including start-up problems, the breakdown or failure of equipment or processes, the performance of the Project below expected levels of efficiency and/or, labor disputes. Additionally, the operations of the Project could be affected by both natural or man-made catastrophic events beyond the control of the Operator such as fires,

Page 80: Public Finance Authority

-63-

earthquakes, explosions, major accidents, armed conflict, hostilities, acts of terrorism and/or similar events. The occurrence of such events could significantly reduce or eliminate revenues generated by the Project and significantly increase the expenses of the Project, thereby jeopardizing the ability of the Project to generate Revenues sufficient to pay the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds. While the Operator will maintain insurance to protect against certain of these operating risks, the proceeds of such insurance may not be adequate to cover the Project’s lost revenues or increased costs. Under such circumstances, no assurance can be given concerning the ability of the Project to generate sufficient Revenues to make timely payments of debt service on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds.

The Project may also face civil liabilities or fines in the ordinary course of its business as a result of regulatory enforcement and adverse patient outcomes. These liabilities may result in the Project making payments in accordance with applicable laws to the extent and in the amount that such payments are not covered by the Project’s insurance policies.

In addition, as more particularly discussed below under the subheading “Reliance on Other Third Parties,” the Operator is outsourcing the majority of the operating activities of the Project to third parties. UMROA is providing professional services and clinical management services to the Project as more particularly described above under “PRINCIPAL PROJECT AGREEMENTS – Professional Services Agreement” and “PRINCIPAL PROJECT AGREEMENTS – Clinical Management Agreement.” Varian is providing certain operating and maintenance services with respect to the Proton System, and there is a third party medical biller, MMBC, which will provide billing and collection management services related to patient authorization and compliance services to the Operator.

A significant portion of the costs related to the Project are fixed costs (including, for example, maintenance costs, labor costs and debt service). Any decrease in Revenues, whether due to lower patient demand, decreases in payments for services, or other reasons, will not result in a decrease of fixed costs and could adversely affect the ability of the Authority to pay the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds.

Revenues of the Project received from insurance companies, Medicare and other payors will be deposited in collection accounts which will be subject to deposit account control agreements and then automatically transferred to the Project Operating Account where such funds will be available to the Operator for the payment of Operating Expenses. The Operator is required under the Operating Agreement to transfer funds above $4,700,000 to the Revenue Fund on a monthly basis. To the extent there is any disruption in the deposits or transfers, the Authority’s ability to pay the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds could be adversely affected.

The Operator, UMROA and/or Varian may not be able to attract and retain qualified managers and skilled employees, to operate the Project efficiently which could adversely affect the operations, cash flows and liquidity of the Project. In the past, the healthcare industry has experienced a shortage of qualified personnel to staff healthcare operations. There continues to be growing demand for nursing and other healthcare personnel, and in certain communities, the number of nurses, highly qualified and essential medical physicists and other paraprofessionals entering the profession is not sufficient to satisfy that demand. The proton therapy treatment facility requires a highly specialized workforce of both medical and technical personnel and the Operator and UMROA will compete with other healthcare providers for nursing personnel, medical physicists and other qualified personnel. Accordingly, it may be difficult to find and retain qualified and affordable personnel. Additionally, labor expenses may increase as a result of a shortage in the supply of skilled personnel due to increased salaries and benefits. The Project may be forced to bear significant training expenses if the Operator or UMROA are unable to hire or retain employees with the requisite skills, and in appropriate cases make greater use of temporary nursing and related personnel.

The cost and availability of utility services including sewage services, natural gas and electrical service are subject to change due to market economic forces and government regulations. Increases in the cost of necessary utility services could adversely affect the ability the Project to generate sufficient Revenues to pay the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds.

Page 81: Public Finance Authority

Similar Facilities

As described in APPENDIX A and APPENDIX B attached hereto, there are currently twenty-eight (28) proton therapy centers currently in operation and approximately 12 more planned for or under construction. However, some proton therapy centers have encountered or may encounter financial and operational challenges. For example, the proton therapy center located in San Diego, California, which is operated by an affiliate of Advanced Particle Therapy LLC (“APT”), recently filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. It is not known why this center encountered financial difficulties, but the center’s bankruptcy filings indicate that the center has not operated on a profitable or even a break-even basis since opening in February 2014.

Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

The Operator’s independent audit firm identified material weaknesses in the Operator’s internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017. While the Board of Managers of MPTH and new management of the Operator are putting controls and procedures in place to remediate such deficiencies as of July 2018 and as described in Appendix A hereto, interim financial information may be inaccurate and subsequently have to be restated. In addition, if the Operator is unable to successfully remediate this material weakness and if the Operator is unable to produce accurate and timely financial statements, it could materially impact the market price or marketability of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds. See "APPENDIX A – THE PROJECT AND THE OPERATOR – THE OPERATOR – Remediation Plan for Bolstering Internal Controls and Reporting” for additional information on this matter.

Related Entities

The Operator was originally formed by APT and APT continues to hold a controlling interest in the Operator. The Operator, and its affiliates, have been involved in a number of disputes. In addition, the SEC has issued subpoenas to APT and certain current and former officers or managers of APT and the Operator. The Operator believes that the SEC investigation is related to previous fundraising activities of APT related to the Project and other proton therapy centers.

In conjunction with the sale of the Project to the Authority, the Operator anticipates receiving releases from certain parties with respect to claims they may have. However, there can be no assurance that additional claims will not be made against the Operator in the future. In addition, there can be no assurances that the SEC investigation will not ultimately involve the Operator or result in adverse consequences for the Operator. See “APPENDIX A – THE PROJECT AND THE OPERATOR – THE OPERATOR – Litigation.”

Reliance on Other Third Parties

The viability of the Project and the ability of the Project to generate Revenues sufficient to pay the debt service on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds depends significantly upon the performance by third parties in accordance with the Material Project Documents. If the parties to the Material Project Documents do not perform their obligations under the various Material Project Documents, the Operator may not be able to acquire alternate goods or services to cover such nonperformance and the Project may not be able to generate sufficient Revenues to make payments of the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds. For example, UMROA is required to provide professional services, clinical management and administrative services to the Project (as more particularly described above under “PRINCIPAL PROJECT AGREEMENTS – Professional Services Agreement” and “PRINCIPAL PROJECT AGREEMENTS – Clinical Management Agreement”). A failure of UMROA to provide the professional services, clinical management and administrative services may have a material adverse effect on the Project’s operations.

As discussed in APPENDIX B – “MARYLAND PROTON TREATMENT CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY,” the Project’s relationship with UMROA is very important to the success of the Project. The affiliation with UMROA is important for long-term profitability and sustainability. In addition, operating under the University of Maryland brand is expected to create a strong and reliable patient referral source for the Project. If the Professional Services Agreement with UMROA were to be terminated for any reason, there can be no assurance that the Operator could find a replacement for UMROA or that the Operator could continue to attract the same number of patients to the Project.

Page 82: Public Finance Authority

-65-

This Official Statement contains no financial information with respect to the parties to the Material Project Documents. As a result, in making an investment decision with respect to the Series 2018A-1 Bonds, a potential holder of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds can have no assurance, based on the information contained herein, that any third party to a Material Project Document will have the capability to meet its financial obligations (including the payment of any liquidated or other damages) under the agreements to which it is a party. Moreover, there can be no assurance that any such liquidated or other damages, if any, will be sufficient to compensate the Project for any shortfall in Revenues attributable to the default in respect to which such damages are being paid.

Market for Proton Therapy Treatment

The continued operation of the Project requires that the Operator be able to attract and treat patients at the Project to generate sufficient Revenues to pay, among other things, the operation and maintenance costs of the Project and debt service on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds. No assurances can be given by the Operator that the market demand for proton therapy treatment at the Project will be sufficient throughout the term of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds and/or the market price will be sufficient to enable the Project to generate Revenues to make all payments described above.

Competition

There are several treatment options for cancer, including surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Patients will consider many factors when selecting treatment options. In addition to competition with other existing treatment options, the Project will compete with potentially new treatment options, as well as other proton therapy centers. Although there are currently no other proton therapy treatment centers in the State of Maryland, the Project will be competing against other cancer treatment providers in the Mid-Atlantic United States, including in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Somerset, New Jersey, Washington, D.C. and Hampton, Virginia. Affiliates of the Project have also developed or are developing their own centers. MedStar recently opened a one room center located less than 50 miles from the Project, and INOVA is currently constructing a center that will be located 54 miles away. Each of these affiliates is or will become a competitor to the Project. There can be no assurances that current competitors (or other treatment competitors) will not maintain or increase their market share or that new proton therapy treatment competitors (including current or future affiliates of the Project) will not enter the market. Any competitors may affect the ability of the Operator to attract sufficient patients to the Project and their ability to hire and retain qualified personnel. Such existing and potential additional competition could adversely affect the Authority’s ability to pay the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds. See “APPENDIX A – THE PROJECT AND THE OPERATOR – THE PROJECT – Competition” and “APPENDIX B – MARYLAND PROTON TREATMENT CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY.”

Technology Risk

New developments in proton therapy equipment are currently largely focused on supporting technology that will help to increase system accuracy and patient throughput. There can be no assurances that the Project will be able to generate sufficient Revenues to purchase such supporting technology, if and when it becomes available. Also in development now is technology to deliver radiation therapy using larger particles, such as Carbon Ions. This technology, Particle Therapy, is sparsely available globally, and not available in the United States. As such, there is currently no regulatory clearance, nor reimbursement in the United States market for this technology. Additionally, these technologies are currently an order of magnitude more complicated and expensive than proton therapy technology, which presents an additional barrier to mass adoption. However, there can be no assurances that Particle Therapy, or another as-yet unknown future technology, will not become available in the United States in the future and negatively affect the ability of the Project to generate Revenues.

Reliance on Projections and Underlying Assumptions

The financing of the Project has been structured on the basis of certain assumptions and projections made by the Operator with respect to the Project’s revenue generating capacity and the costs associated therewith over the term of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds. The Feasibility Consultant has evaluated certain aspects of the Project in the Feasibility Study. The Feasibility Study, which investors should review carefully in its entirety, contains a discussion of the many assumptions utilized in preparing the Operator’s projections, which include matters that are

Page 83: Public Finance Authority

-66-

not within the control of the Operator, the Feasibility Consultant, the Authority, the Underwriters or any other person. The assumptions used in such projections are inherently subject to significant uncertainties, and actual results will differ, perhaps materially, from those projected. None of the Operator, the Feasibility Consultant, the Authority or the Underwriters intends to provide to holders of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds any revised projections or analyses of the differences between the projections and actual operating results later achieved. If actual results are less favorable than those shown or if the assumptions used in formulating the projections prove to be incorrect, the Authority’s ability to pay the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds may be adversely affected.

Adequacy of Insurance

The Operator is obligated under the Facility Operating Agreement to obtain and keep in force certain insurance with respect to the Project including property insurance, general liability and business interruption insurance. There is no assurance that such insurance coverage will be available in the future at commercially reasonable costs or that the amounts for which the Operator is insured will cover all unanticipated losses and, in particular, outstanding debt service on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds in the event of a casualty loss.

While the Operator is required by the Facility Operating Agreement to have in effect at all times comprehensive general liability insurance providing insurance against liability for personal and bodily injury including death resulting therefrom, if a claim or judgment against the Operator for an amount in excess of the limits of such insurance were to arise, it would likely have a material adverse effect on the financial results of the Project and the Operator.

Governmental Regulations and Permits

The Project is required to comply with a number of statutes and regulation relating to the safety and health of the Project’s employees and the public during its operation, such as: safety and health standards, practices and procedures applicable to the construction and operation of the Project; environmental protection requirements; and employment, hiring and anti-discrimination requirements relating to the operation of the Project.

Federal, state, and local laws and regulations protecting the environment require the Project and/or the Operator to obtain permits and other authorizations to operate the Project. According to the Operator, the Project and/or the Operator have obtained all of the material permits required for operation of the Project and such permits remain in full force and effect.

Permits that have been obtained or will be obtained may be subject to challenge in public proceedings, including the filing of administrative or judicial appeals contesting the validity or the terms of the permits. If such permits are appealed, Project operation may be delayed or prohibited, and elements of the Project may need to be redesigned or replaced.

All permits and approvals issued by governmental agencies expire and must be renewed if the permitted activity is not complete. Renewals are typically discretionary with governmental agencies, and there is no assurance that required renewals will be obtained when required to continue construction or operation.

Laws and regulations applicable to the Project, including those under which permits and governmental approvals must be obtained, change frequently and may become more stringent. Changes in laws that govern operation of the Project could have an impact of increasing capital expenditures and operations and maintenance costs at the Project. The Project could be adversely affected if regulatory changes were implemented that imposed more comprehensive or stringent regulatory requirements, resulting in increased compliance costs.

The ability of the Project to comply with the requirements of permits, regulations and other governmental approvals is dependent upon many factors that may not be within the control of the Operator. The failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits could result in fines, penalties and delays or suspension of the construction or operation of the Project. The issuing government agency may have continuing oversight authority over the permitted activity and could impose additional conditions or mitigation requirements or suspend or revoke the permit in certain circumstances. The inability to maintain required permits in force and effect, and their

Page 84: Public Finance Authority

-67-

amendment, suspension or revocation would have adverse effects on the Project’s operations and financial performance.

Environmental Liability

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), as well as other federal laws and similar state laws, requires cleanup of sites from which there has been a release or threatened release of hazardous substances and authorizes the EPA to take any necessary response action at the locations of such releases. The construction and operation of the Project could produce hazardous substances and wastes and petroleum products, which, if released on-site or disposed of inappropriately off-site, may result in liability for removal and cleanup, or the payment of damages.

The handling, storage, management and disposal of hazardous materials—both known and unknown—at the Project, are subject to federal and State environmental regulations. No assurance can be made that compliance with these regulations, or the costs resulting from any new or different regulations, will not adversely affect the operations or financial condition of the Project. Environmental costs may include site surveys and environmental investigations of contaminated or potentially contaminated sites, as well as the costs for monitoring, mitigation and remediation of these sites, fines or penalties for non-compliance with environmental laws and regulations, and third party claims for property damage and/or personal injury or other damages.

In addition, past disposal practices may result in CERCLA liability as previously approved disposal methods or sites become candidates for federal listing. Under these statutes, a party may be held liable for cleanup activities on property that it owns and operates, even if the conditions requiring cleanup existed before such party’s occupancy of a site. No assurances can be given that contamination, whether pre-existing the Project or resulting from its construction or operations, is not present at the site of the Project. As a result, the Operator may incur substantial, but presently unknown, costs as a participant in the cleanup of sites contaminated with hazardous substances or wastes. The costs and expenses associated with such liabilities could adversely affect the Operator’s financial condition.

A Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (the “Site Assessment”) was completed on April 9, 2018 by ECS Mid-Atlantic, LLC (“ECS”) in general conformance with the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Process E1527-13. The purpose of the Site Assessment was to identify areas of environmental concern associated with the property on which the Project is located (the “Site”) and surrounding properties. The Site Assessment concluded that there was one recognized environmental condition, as defined by ASTM, at the Site. Such recognized environmental condition was the historic use of the eastern adjacent property as a gasoline filling station/service center. A previous assessment conducted by ECS identified contamination at the northeastern corner of the Site prior to the construction of the Project. A sub slab vapor barrier was installed in 2015 during the construction of the Project to mitigate the potential for vapor migration into the Project. No assurance can be given that the Site Assessment revealed all potential environmental concerns, that any prior owners or tenants did not create any other adverse environmental condition not known to the Operator or the Authority, that no additional environmental liabilities have developed since the Site Assessment was prepared, that future laws or regulations will not impose material environmental requirements or liability or that a material adverse environment condition does not otherwise exist.

Under certain circumstances, lenders and trustees can be exposed to liability for environmental contamination of real property held as security for a loan. Such liability is precluded under federal law so long as the lender or trustee complies with certain requirements, including taking actions only to obtain remedies available under loan documents or that are consistent with the rights of secured creditors. In the event that the Authority was to default on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds and enforcement of lender rights and remedies were required, the Trustee could be exposed to liability for site contamination, whether originating before the construction and operation of the Project or after. Any costs or expenses incurred by the Trustee or other financial participants in the Series 2018A-1 Bonds could adversely affect the availability of funds to repay the Series 2018A-1 Bonds or pay principal of and interest on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds.

Tax Reform

On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law “H.R. 1 – An Act to provide for reconciliation pursuant to titles II and V of the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2018” (the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”). The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act lowered corporate and individual tax rates and eliminated certain tax preferences and other tax expenditures. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act also repealed a key provision of the Affordable Care Act known as the “individual mandate,” which imposes a tax on individuals who do not obtain health insurance, effective 2019. Such repeal of the individual mandate may result in a higher uninsured rate, which may adversely affect the financial condition of the Operator and the Project. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act also eliminates the issuance of tax-exempt bonds to advance refund outstanding tax-exempt bonds. This could materially impact the market price or marketability of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds and/or the availability of borrowed funds for the Project, particularly for capital expenditures, as well as the operations, financial position and cash flows of the Project.

Healthcare Regulation

General. The health care industry is highly dependent on a number of factors that may limit the ability of the Authority to meet its obligations under the Indenture. Among other things, participants in the health care industry (such as the Operator) are subject to significant regulatory requirements of federal, state and local governmental agencies, as well as independent professional organizations and accrediting bodies, technological advances and changes in treatment modes, various competitive factors and changes in governmental and other third-party reimbursement programs. Discussed below are certain of these factors that could have a significant effect on the future operations and financial condition of the Project.

Comprehensive statutes and regulations govern the manner in which the Operator provides and bills for services, its contractual relationships with physicians, vendors and customers, marketing activities, and other operational aspects. Failure to comply with these laws can result in civil and criminal penalties such as fines, damages, overpayment recoupment, loss of enrollment status or exclusion from government healthcare programs. The risk of being found in violation of these laws and regulations is increased by the fact that many of them have not been fully interpreted by regulatory authorities or the courts, and their provisions are sometimes open to multiple interpretations. Any enforcement action for violation of these laws or regulations, even if they are successfully defended, could result in significant legal expenses and divert managements' attention from business operations.

These laws and rules, and their interpretations, may also change in the future. Any adverse interpretations or changes could force a restructuring of relationships with physicians, professional corporations, or health facilities, resulting in significantly increased costs. A restructuring could also result in a loss of contracts or a reduction in revenue under existing contracts. Moreover, financing agreements may prohibit or restrict such modifications.

Discussed below are certain of these factors that could have a significant effect on the future operations and financial condition of the Project.

Licensing, Surveys, Audits and Investigations. Healthcare facilities, including the Project, are subject to numerous legal, regulatory, professional and private licensing, certification and accreditation requirements. These include, but are not limited to, requirements relating to Medicare Conditions of Participation imposed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, requirements for participation in Medicaid, State licensing agencies, private payors and the accreditation standards of The Joint Commission or other nationally recognized accreditation agencies. Renewal and continuation of certain of these licenses, certifications and accreditations are based on inspections, surveys, audits, investigations or other reviews, some of which may require affirmative actions by the Operator. The Operator anticipates that they will be able to obtain and periodically renew licenses, certifications or accreditations when required. Nevertheless, adverse actions in any of these areas could occur and result in the loss of utilization, revenue or the ability of the Operator to operate all or a portion of the Project and, consequently, could have a material and adverse effect on the financial condition of the Project.

Various licensing and certification laws, regulations and standards also apply to affiliated physicians and non-physician practitioners. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could result in some services being found to be non-reimbursable or prior payments being subject to recoupment, and can give rise to civil or criminal penalties, including loss of licensure for the Project.

State authorities in some jurisdictions could find that the Operator’s or management company’s contractual relationships with physicians violate laws prohibiting the corporate practice of medicine or fee-splitting. These laws are generally intended to prevent unlicensed persons or entities from interfering with or inappropriately influencing the physician's professional judgment, but they may also prevent the sharing of professional services income with professional, non-professional or other business interests. While the Operator believes it is in material compliance with applicable laws relating to the corporate practice of medicine and fee-splitting, regulatory authorities or other parties, including affiliated physicians, may assert that, despite these arrangements, it is impermissibly engaged in the practice of medicine or that its contractual arrangements with affiliated physician groups constitute unlawful fee-splitting. In this event, the Operator could be subject to adverse judicial or administrative interpretations, to civil or criminal penalties, its contracts could be found legally invalid and unenforceable or it could be required to restructure its contractual arrangements with affiliated physicians and physician groups.

Federal Privacy Laws. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended (“HIPAA”) added two prohibited practices, the commission of which may lead to civil monetary penalties: (i) the practice or pattern of presenting a claim for an item or service on a reimbursement code that the person knows or should know will result in greater payment than appropriate (i.e., upcoding); and (ii) the practice of submitting claims for payment for medically unnecessary services. Violation of such prohibited practices due to civil neglect could amount to civil monetary penalties ranging from $50,000 to $1.5 million for all identical violations in a calendar year and/or imprisonment.

HIPAA also includes administrative simplification provisions intended to facilitate the processing of health care payments by encouraging the electronic exchange of information and the use of standardized formats for health care information. Congress recognized, however, that standardization of information formats and greater use of electronic technology presents additional privacy and security risks due to the increased likelihood that databases of personally identifiable health care information will be created and the ease with which vast amounts of such data can be transmitted. Therefore, HIPAA requires the establishment of distinct privacy and security protections for individually identifiable health information (“Protected Health Information” or “PHI”).

The HHS promulgated privacy regulations under HIPAA (the “Privacy Rule”) that protect the privacy of PHI maintained by health care providers, health plans, and health care clearinghouses (collectively, “Covered Entities”) and provide individuals with certain rights regarding their PHI (including, for example, access to PHI, amending PHI, and receiving an accounting of disclosures of PHI). Security regulations have also been promulgated under HIPAA (the “Security Rule”). The Security Rule requires Covered Entities to have certain administrative, technical and physical safeguards in place to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of all electronic PHI they create, receive, maintain or transmit. Additionally, HHS promulgated regulations to standardize the electronic transfer of information pursuant to certain enumerated transactions (the “Transactions and Code Sets Rule”).

The 2009 Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (“HITECH”) Act significantly changed the landscape of federal privacy and security laws regarding PHI. The HITECH Act (i) extended the reach of HIPAA, certain provisions of the Privacy Rule, and the Security Rule; (ii) imposed a breach notification requirement on HIPAA covered entities and their business associates; (iii) limited certain uses and disclosures of PHI; (iv) increased individuals’ rights with respect to PHI; and (v) increased enforcement of, and penalties for, violations of the privacy and security of PHI.

The HITECH Act also created a federal breach notification requirement that mirrors protections that many states have passed in recent years. This requirement provides that healthcare providers must notify patients of any unauthorized access, acquisition or disclosure of their unsecured PHI that poses significant risk of financial, reputational or other harm to a patient. In addition, a new breach notification requirement was established requiring reporting to the Secretary of HHS and, in some cases, local media outlets, of certain unauthorized access, acquisition or disclosure of unsecured PHI that poses significant risk of financial, reputational or other harm to a patient. On January 17, 2013, HHS issued an omnibus final rule interpreting and implementing various provisions of the HITECH Act, including a final breach notification rule. Any violation of HIPAA, the HITECH Act or the regulations promulgated thereunder is subject to HIPAA civil and criminal penalties, including monetary penalties and/or imprisonment.

The Operator depends on complex, integrated information systems and standardized procedures for operational and financial information and billing operations. It may not have the necessary resources to enhance existing information systems or implement new systems where necessary to handle changing needs. Furthermore, it may experience unanticipated delays, complications and expenses in implementing, integrating and operating the systems. Any interruptions in operations during periods of implementation would adversely affect the ability to properly allocate resources and process billing information in a timely manner, which could result in patient dissatisfaction and delayed cash flow. In addition, the technology systems, or a disruption in the operation of such systems, could be subject to physical or electronic break ins, and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering. The failure to successfully implement, protect, and maintain operational, financial and billing information systems could have an adverse effect on the ability to obtain new business, retain existing business and maintain or increase profit margins.

States may impose more protective privacy restrictions and laws related to health information and may afford individuals a private right of action with respect to the violation of such laws. In Maryland, the Maryland Personal Information Protection Act (“MPIPA”) requires businesses to protect “Personal Information”, which includes the names, social security numbers, driver’s license numbers, financial account information, and taxpayer identification number of Maryland residents who provide such information for the purpose of obtaining services. Recent amendments to the MPIPA effective January 1, 2018 expand the definition of protected Personal Information to include information created by an entity covered by HIPAA regarding an individual’s medical history, condition, treatment, or diagnosis; health insurance information; and biometric data, which includes unique biological characteristics that can be used to authenticate a person’s identity. The MPIPA requires businesses to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices, including practices designed to protect personal information from unauthorized use, modification, disclosure, or destruction; and to conduct reasonable and prompt investigations of any data breaches to determine the likelihood that personal information has been misused as a result of any breach. Businesses are required to notify affected individuals and the Maryland Attorney General no later than 45 days after concluding the required investigation. Failure to comply with the MPIPA is an unfair and deceptive trade practice under Maryland law, and subject to causes of action by affected individuals for damages, and both civil and criminal penalties.

Both state and federal laws are subject to modification or enhancement of privacy protection at any time. The failure to comply with HIPAA or similar state laws, including laws addressing data confidentiality, security or breach notification could result in substantial monetary penalties and reputational harm.

Federal Anti-Kickback Law. The federal anti-kickback statute (“Anti-Kickback Statute”) is a broad criminal statute that prohibits one person from “knowingly and willfully” giving (or offering to give) “remuneration” to another person if the payment is intended to “induce” the recipient to: (i) “refer” an individual to a person for the furnishing, or arranging for the furnishing, of any item or service for which payment may be made, in whole or in part, under any federal health care program (i.e., a “covered item or service”); (ii) “purchase,” “order,” or “lease” any covered item or service; (iii) “arrange for” the purchase, order, or lease of any covered item or service; or (iv) “recommend” the purchase, order, or lease of any covered item or service. The Anti-Kickback Statute also prohibits the solicitation or receipt of remuneration for any of these purposes. The definition of “renumeration” has been broadly interpreted to include anything of value such as gifts, discounts, rebates, waiver of payments or providing anything at less than its fair market value.

Because the Anti-Kickback Statute is so broad, it covers a variety of common and non-abusive arrangements. Recognizing this overbreadth, Congress and HHS, through the Office of Inspector General (“OIG”) – the lead federal enforcement agency with respect to the Anti-Kickback Statute – have established a large number of statutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors (collectively, “safe harbors”). An arrangement that fits squarely into a safe harbor is generally immune from prosecution under the Anti-Kickback Statute. The safe harbors tend to be narrow, however, and OIG takes the position that immunity is afforded only to those arrangements that “precisely meet” all of the conditions of a safe harbor. Moreover, safe harbors do not exist for every type of arrangement that does (or may) implicate the Anti-Kickback Statute.

Where the Anti-Kickback Statute has been violated, the government may proceed criminally or civilly. If the government proceeds criminally, a violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute is a felony punishable by up to five years’ imprisonment, a fine of up to $100,000 and mandatory exclusion from participation in all federal health care

Page 88: Public Finance Authority

-71-

programs. If the government proceeds civilly, it may impose a civil monetary penalty of up to $100,000 per violation, which amount may be increased in annual adjustments for inflation, and an assessment of not more than three times the total amount of “remuneration” involved, and may exclude the offering or receiving party from participation in all federal health care programs. The respondent in an Anti-Kickback Statute proceeding may be required to enter into settlement agreements with the government to avoid such sanctions. Typically, such settlement agreements require substantial payments to the government in exchange for the government to release its claims, and may also require the respondent to enter into a Corporate Integrity Agreement, or CIA, with the OIG. The obligations contained in such CIA could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Project.

Both parties to a prohibited transaction are equally liable under the Anti-Kickback Statute. Many states have enacted laws similar to, and in some cases broader than, the Anti-Kickback Statute. Some of these state prohibitions apply to remuneration for referrals of healthcare items or services reimbursed by any payor, including private payors.

The Stark Law. The Social Security Act also includes a provision commonly known as the “Stark Law.” The Stark Law prohibits physicians from making referrals of Medicare or Medicaid patients to entities with which the physicians or any of their immediate family members have a direct or indirect financial relationship if these entities provide certain “designated health services” reimbursable by Medicare or Medicaid, unless an exception applies. The Stark Law also prohibits an entity from billing Medicare or Medicaid programs for any items or services that result from a prohibited referral and requires the entity to refund amounts received for items or services provided pursuant to a prohibited referral. By its terms the Stark Law applies to referrals of Medicare patients; however, recent case law has evidenced the government’s willingness to extend Stark Law requirements to referrals of Medicaid patients.

“Designated health services” include a broad range of services, including radiation therapy services, clinical laboratory services and radiology services. Sanctions for violating the Stark Law include denial of payment, refunding amounts received for services provided pursuant to prohibited referrals, civil monetary penalties of up to $24,253 per claim submitted, taking into account 2017 updates, and exclusion from federal healthcare programs. Failure to refund amounts received as a result of a prohibited referral on a timely basis may constitute a false or fraudulent claim and may result in civil penalties and additional penalties under the False Claims Act (“FCA”). In addition, a physician or entity that has participated in a “scheme” to circumvent the operation of the Stark Law is subject to civil penalties and possible exclusion from participation in federal health care programs. Civil monetary penalties will increase annually based on updates to the consumer price index.

If the Stark Law applies, there are exceptions to this self-referral prohibition for many of the customary financial arrangements between physicians and providers, including personal services arrangements, leases and referrals for in-office ancillary services. Unlike safe harbors under the Anti-Kickback Statute, with which compliance is voluntary, an arrangement must comply with every requirement of a Stark Law exception or the arrangement is in violation of the Stark Law.

Through a series of rulemakings, CMS has issued final regulations implementing the Stark Law. While these regulations were intended to clarify the requirements of the Stark Law’s exceptions, there is limited case law interpreting these rules. As such, it is unclear how the government will interpret many of these exceptions for enforcement purposes in practice. In light of the scarcity of case law interpreting the Stark Law provisions and the breadth and complexity of these provisions, there can be no assurances that the Operator will not be found to have violated the Stark Law provisions. Sanctions under the Stark Law, including exclusion from the Medicare program, could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations of the Project, as would any significant penalties, demands for refunds or denials of payment.

CMS has established a voluntary self-disclosure program under which healthcare entities may report Stark violations and seek a reduction in potential penalty assessments. However, the program is relatively new and therefore it is difficult to determine at this time whether it will provide significant monetary relief to providers that discover inadvertent Stark law violations. The Operator may make self-disclosures under this program as appropriate from time to time in the future.

Maryland Patient Referral Law. In addition to the Stark Law, Maryland law prohibits medical professionals from making certain referrals. The Maryland Patient Referral Law (“MPRL”) prohibits any physician or other healthcare practitioner licensed under the Maryland Health Occupations Article from referring patients to a healthcare entity in which the practitioner, or an immediate family member has a financial interest. The MPRL applies if there is a beneficial interest or compensation arrangement between the referring physician and the healthcare entity. Beneficial interest is defined as “ownership through equity, debt, or other means of any financial interest.” Compensation arrangement means “any agreement or system involving any remuneration between a healthcare practitioner and a healthcare entity.

While the Maryland Court of Appeals has upheld the state’s self-referral law prohibiting physicians from referring patients for MRI, CT and radiation therapy services to providers in their own group practice when no exception was fully satisfied and the referring practitioner gained from the referrals, the Court and the Maryland Board of Physicians have stated that the MPRL exceptions are intended to generally permit referrals when there is little incentive to the referring health care practitioner for financial gain. There remains limited case law interpreting these complex rules. As such, we cannot be certain how Maryland authorities will interpret the applicable MPRL exceptions for enforcement purposes. Sanctions under the MRPL, including disciplinary actions by Maryland regulatory bodies, could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations of the Project, as would any significant penalties, demands for refunds or denials of payment.

The Federal False Claims Act. The federal civil False Claims Act (“FCA”) provides that “knowingly present[ing], or caus[ing] to be presented” a “false or fraudulent claim for payment or approval” to the United States, and its agents and contractor, constitutes a FCA violation. Under the FCA’s so-called “reverse false claims,” liability also could arise for “using” a false record or statement to “conceal,” “avoid” or “decrease” an “obligation to pay or transmit money or property to the Government.” Consequences for violating the FCA include liability for three times the amount of damages sustained by the government and a civil penalty per-claim. In 2016, the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) published an Interim Final Rule increasing the minimum per-claim penalty from $5,500 to $10,781 and the maximum per-claim penalty from $11,000 to $21,563. The penalties increased again in February of 2017, and are subject annually to a cost of living adjustment; as of May 2018, the minimum per-claim penalty has increased to $11,181 and the maximum per-claim penalty has increased to $22,363.

The FCA also empowers and provides incentives to private citizens (commonly referred to as qui tam relators or whistleblowers) to file suit on the government’s behalf. The qui tam relator’s share of the recovery can be between 15% and 25% in cases in which the government intervenes, and 25% to 30% in cases in which the government does not intervene. The government may use the FCA to prosecute Medicare and other government program fraud in areas such as coding errors, billing for services not provided and submitting false cost reports.

Amendments to the FCA in the Fraud Enhancement and Recovery Act of 2009 (“FERA”) and the Affordable Care Act amended and expanded the reach of the FCA. FERA expanded the FCA’s reverse false claims provision, imposing liability on any person who “knowingly conceals” or “knowingly and improperly avoids or decreases” an “obligation to pay or transmit money or property to the Government,” whether or not the person uses a false record in doing so. FERA also clarified that an “obligation” can arise from the retention of an overpayment. Section 6402 of the hereinafter defined Affordable Care Act further addresses the retention of overpayments by defining the term overpayment and the circumstances and timing under which an overpayment must be returned to the government before it becomes an “obligation” under the FCA. Providers and suppliers must report and refund the overpayments before the later of 60 days after the overpayment was identified or the date any corresponding cost report is due, if applicable. Any overpayment that is retained after this deadline is considered an obligation subject to an action under the FCA. FERA and the Affordable Care Act also amend certain jurisdictional bars to the FCA, effectively narrowing the public disclosure bar and expanding the definition of “original source,” thus potentially broadening the field of potential whistleblowers. Both direct enforcement activity by the government and whistleblower lawsuits under the FCA have increased significantly in recent years and have increased the risk of healthcare companies having to defend a false claims action, repay claims paid by the government, pay fines or be excluded from the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

While the criminal statutes are generally reserved for instances of fraudulent intent, the government applies criminal, civil and administrative penalty statutes to a range of circumstances, including coding errors, billing for services not provided, submitting false cost reports, submitting claims resulting from arrangements prohibited by the

Page 90: Public Finance Authority

-73-

Stark Law or the Anti-Kickback Statute, billing for services not rendered in compliance with complex Medicare and Medicaid regulations and guidance, misrepresenting services rendered (e.g., miscoding, upcoding, etc.) and application for duplicate reimbursement. Additionally, the federal government has taken the position that claiming reimbursement for unnecessary or substandard services violates these statutes if the claimant should have known that the services were unnecessary or substandard. Criminal penalties also are available in the case of claims filed with private insurers if the federal government shows that the claims constitute mail fraud or wire fraud or violate a number of federal criminal healthcare fraud statutes.

Maryland False Claims; Insurance Law. Maryland law prohibits submitting a false record or statement in order to secure reimbursement from the State Medicaid program. Violation of this prohibition may lead to the imposition of civil or criminal penalties. In 2010, Maryland enacted the False Health Claims Act (“MFHCA”), which was modeled on the federal False Claims Act and designed to enhance Maryland’s anti-fraud efforts in the area of Medicaid fraud. MFHCA allows for civil monetary penalties of up to $10,000 for each false claim submitted to defraud the State Medicaid program and treble the damages sustained by the Maryland Medicaid program as a result of the acts. MFHCA also authorizes individuals to bring civil actions on behalf of the State and obtain a share of the recovery. In 2015, Maryland passed the Maryland False Claims Act (“MFCA”), which expanded the scope of MFHCA beyond Medicaid-reimbursable services. The MFCA applies to any person who knowingly or recklessly submits a false claim to any governmental body in Maryland, regardless of that person’s intent to defraud, and contains both qui tam provisions brought on behalf of the government and anti-retaliation provisions to protect whistleblowers. There can be no assurance that the Project’s operations will not become the subject of a Maryland false claim investigation in the future, and any such investigation could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of the Project.

Maryland law allows any insurer or nonprofit health service plan that issues or delivers individual or group health insurance policies in the State to seek repayment from health care practitioners for amounts paid for a claim, bill, or other demand for payment that were provided as a result of a prohibited referral under the MPRL. In the event the Operator or UMROA are found to have violated the MPRL, demands for repayment from Maryland insurers could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and operations of the Project.

Maryland Anti-Kickback Laws. The Maryland Physician Fee-Splitting Statute (the “Fee-Splitting Statute”) prohibits anyone licensed to practice medicine in the State from paying or receiving any sum for bringing or referring a patient. The Maryland Board of Physicians has the authority to discipline any licensee for violation of the Fee-Splitting Statute, including the revocation of the licensee’s medical license. In the event UMROA, or any of its licensed practitioners providing professional, clinical management, or administrative services under the applicable documents as described herein under the heading “PRINCIPAL PROJECT AGREEMENTS” is sanctioned under the Fee-Splitting Statute, it could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and operations of the Project.

Maryland law imposes criminal and civil penalties on any person who solicits, offers, makes, or receives a kickback or bribe in connection with providing any items or services for which payment is made from federal or State funds under a State health plan. The law also prohibits anyone from soliciting, offering, making, or receiving a rebate of a fee or charge for referring another individual to a third person to provide items or services for which payment is made from federal or State funds under any such State health plan. The criminal sanctions range from fines between $50,000 and $100,000 for each misdemeanor violation, and between $100,000 to $250,000 for each felony violation. In addition, the law provides for up to three years’ imprisonment for misdemeanor violations to life imprisonment for felony violations that result in the death of an individual. There can be no assurance that the Project’s operations will not become the subject of a Maryland anti-kickback investigation in the future, and any such investigation could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of the Project.

Affordable Care Act. In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (the “Affordable Care Act”) was enacted. Because of the complexity of the Affordable Care Act generally, additional legislation is likely to be considered and enacted over time. The Affordable Care Act has and will continue to require the promulgation of substantial regulations with significant effects on the health care industry and third-party payors. In response, third-party payors and suppliers and vendors of goods and services to health care providers have and will continue to impose additional contractual terms and conditions. Thus, the health care industry is

Page 91: Public Finance Authority

-74-

subjected to significant statutory and regulatory requirements and contractual terms and conditions, and consequently to structural and operational changes and challenges.

The future of the Affordable Care Act is unclear. Since its enactment, the Affordable Care Act has faced numerous legal challenges and legislative repeal efforts. The Affordable Care Act remains subject to amendment, repeal, lack of implementation, failure to fund and judicial interpretation. The Affordable Care Act repeal effort, to date, has focused on individual and employer mandates, exchanges, insurance industry regulations, Medicaid expansion, and the taxes to pay for these elements of the Affordable Care Act. As discussed above, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act repealed the individual mandate. The timing of any further repeal of the provisions of the Affordable Care Act and whether it would be in whole or in part is unclear. It is also unclear when or if a replacement plan would be implemented. A repeal could result in additional pressure on Medicaid and Medicare funding and could have the effect of reducing the availability of health insurance to individuals who are previously insured, resulting in greater numbers of uninsured individuals, and could otherwise materially adversely affect the Project.

Whether or not the Affordable Care Act remains is repealed or amended, it is expected that the government will continue to consider various reform proposals in the health care industry. If adopted, such proposals may subject health care providers to increased compliance requirements, reduced reimbursement for services, increased costs, or a combination of such results. The ultimate outcome of any legislative efforts to repeal, substantially amend, eliminate or reduce funding for the Affordable Care Act is unknown. The effect of any major modification or repeal of the Affordable Care Act on the financial condition of the Project cannot be predicted with certainty, but could be materially adverse.

A significant component of the Affordable Care Act is reformation of the sources and methods by which consumers will pay for health care for themselves and their families and by which employers will procure health insurance for their employees and dependents and, as a consequence, expansion of the base of consumers of health care services. The Affordable Care Act was designed to make available, or subsidize the premium costs of, health care insurance for some of the millions of uninsured (or underinsured) consumers who fall below certain income levels. To the extent all or any of those provisions produce the expected result, an increase in utilization of health care services by those who are currently avoiding or rationing their health care can be expected and bad debt expenses and/or charity care provided may be reduced. Associated with increased utilization will be increased variable and fixed costs of providing health care services, which may or may not be offset by increased revenues.

Some provisions of the Affordable Care Act may adversely affect the Project’s operations more significantly than others, or may not affect them at all. The demographics of the market in which the Project provides services, the services that the Project provides to the community and other factors that are unique to the Project that are likely to affect operations, financial performance or financial conditions are described below. This listing is not intended to be, nor should be considered to be, comprehensive. The Affordable Care Act is complex and comprehensive, and includes a myriad of new programs and initiatives and changes to existing programs, policies, practices and laws.

Through September 30, 2019, payments under “Medicare Advantage” programs (Medicare managed care) will be reduced, which may result in increased premiums or out-of-pocket costs to Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans. Those beneficiaries may terminate their participation in such plans and opt for the traditional Medicare fee-for-service program. The reduction in payments to Medicare Advantage programs may also lead to decreased payments to providers by managed care companies operating Medicare Advantage programs. All or any of these outcomes will have a disproportionately negative effect upon those providers with relatively high dependence upon Medicare managed care revenues.

The Affordable Care Act provides for the expansion of Medicaid programs to a broader population with incomes up to 133% of federal poverty levels. In its decision in National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius, the U.S. Supreme Court determined that any expansion of Medicaid must be at the option of individual states, and not a mandatory obligation. Although the federal government is expected to fund most of the cost of the expanded Medicaid program through 2020, some state officials have expressed reluctance in continued participation, citing concerns that the administrative and other costs associated with enrolling and managing potentially millions of new individuals would add further stress to already depleted state resources.

Page 92: Public Finance Authority

-75-

With varying effective dates, the Affordable Care Act enhances the ability to detect and reduce waste, fraud, and abuse in public programs through provider enrollment screening, enhanced oversight periods for new providers and suppliers, and enrollment moratoria in areas identified as being at elevated risk of fraud in all public programs, strengthening program integrity and enforcement measures and by requiring Medicare and Medicaid program providers and suppliers to establish compliance programs. The Affordable Care Act requires the development of a database to capture and share health care provider data across federal health care programs and provides for increased penalties for fraud and abuse violations, and increased funding for anti-fraud activities.

The Affordable Care Act created a Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation to test innovative payment and service delivery models and to implement various demonstration programs and pilot projects to test, evaluate, encourage and expand new payment structures and methodologies to reduce health care expenditures while maintaining or improving quality of care, including bundled payments under Medicare and Medicaid, and comparative effectiveness research programs that compare the clinical effectiveness of medical treatments and develop recommendations concerning practice guidelines and coverage determinations. Other provisions encourage the creation of new health care delivery programs, such as accountable care organizations or combinations of provider organizations that voluntarily meet quality thresholds to share in the cost savings they achieve for the Medicare program. The outcomes of these projects and programs, including their effect on payments to providers and financial performance, cannot be predicted.

Budget Control Act. The Budget Control Act of 2011 (the “Budget Control Act”) originally limited the federal government’s discretionary spending caps at levels necessary to reduce expenditures by $917 billion from the current federal budget baseline through fiscal year 2021. Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid and other entitlement programs were not affected by the limit on discretionary spending caps. Provisions of the Budget Control Act, as modified by the Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, set in place a protocol for severe spending cuts (known as sequestration) resulting in an automatic 2% reduction in Medicare program payments for all healthcare providers effective March 27, 2013. The Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2013, was subsequently enacted, providing funds for operation of the federal government through September 30, 2013 and off-setting some of the sequestration mandated reductions for federal fiscal year 2014. In December 2013, then-President Barack Obama signed the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 that increased the sequestration caps for federal fiscal years 2014 and 2015 by $45 billion and $18 billion, respectively, but extended the caps into 2023. On November 2, 2015, then-President Barack Obama signed into law the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, increasing the discretionary spending caps imposed by the Budget Control Act for fiscal years 2016 and 2017 and authorizing $80 billion in increased spending over the two years. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 also suspended the limit on the federal government’s debt until March 15, 2017. On March 16, 2017, the debt limit reset to account for all debt issued while it was suspended. On February 7, 2018, Congressional leaders reached a bipartisan agreement to fund the federal government through March 23, 2018. The agreement was approved by the House of Representatives and the Senate on February 9, 2018.

Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018. On February 7, 2018, Congressional leaders reached a bipartisan agreement to fund the federal government through March 23, 2018. The agreement was approved by the House of Representatives and the Senate on February 9, 2018. On February 9, 2018, President Trump signed the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 which raises caps on domestic spending by $296 billion over the next two years and waives limits on federal borrowing until March 1, 2019. The act also includes health care policy changes impacting Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal health agencies, and addresses a number of key health funding issues. See “RISK FACTORS - Payment for Health Care Services – Value-Based Purchasing and Alternative Payment Models and – Reimbursement for Proton Beam Therapy” herein.

Because Congress may make changes to the budget in the future, it is impossible to predict the impact any spending cuts that are approved may have on the Project. Further, with no long-term resolution in place for federal deficit reduction, outpatient medical care and physician reimbursement are likely to continue to be targets for reductions with respect to any interim or long-term federal deficit reduction efforts. These and any additional reductions in Medicare spending could have a material adverse effect upon the financial condition or operations of the Project.

Maryland Total Cost of Care All-Payor Model. On May 14, 2018, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) announced federal approval of Maryland’s Total Cost of Care All-Payor Model (the “Maryland

Page 93: Public Finance Authority

-76-

Model”). The Maryland Model is designed to shift how health care is funded and provided to patients in Maryland, and will reward efficiency, value, and better patient outcomes with the goal of saving over $1 billion by the end of 2023.

One component of the Maryland Model is the Care Redesign Program (“CRP”) that allows hospitals to make incentive payments to non-hospital healthcare providers who collaborate with them to provide care redesign activities aimed at improving quality of care. The effect of the Maryland Model on healthcare provider treatment and practice behaviors and reimbursement and on the financial condition of the Project cannot be predicted with certainty, but could be materially adverse.

Payment for Health Care Services

Third-Party Payment Programs. Most of the net patient service revenues of the Project will be derived from third-party payors that reimburse or pay for the services and items provided to patients covered by such third parties for such services, including the federal Medicare program, private health plans and insurers, health maintenance organizations (“HMOs”), preferred provider organizations (“PPOs”) and other managed care payors. Many of these third-party payors will make payments at rates other than the direct charges of the Operator, which rates may be determined other than on the basis of the actual costs incurred in providing services to patients. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that payments made under these programs will be adequate to cover the Operator’s actual costs of furnishing health care services. Moreover, any changes in the rates or methods of reimbursement for services could have a significant adverse impact on the Project’s revenue and financial results. In addition, the financial performance of the Project could be adversely affected by the insolvency of, or other delay in receipt of payments from, third-party payors, which provide coverage for services to the Project’s patients.

Medicare and Medicaid Programs. Medicare and Medicaid are the commonly used names for health care reimbursement or payment programs governed by certain provisions of the federal Social Security Act. Medicare is an exclusively federal program, while Medicaid is a combined federal and state program. Medicare provides certain health care benefits to beneficiaries who are 65 years of age or older, disabled or qualify for the End Stage Renal Disease Program. Medicare Part A covers inpatient services and certain other services, and Medicare Part B covers outpatient services, certain physician services, medical supplies, durable medical equipment, and certain prescription drugs. Medicaid is designed to pay providers for care given to the indigent and others who receive federal aid. Medicaid is funded by federal and state appropriations and administered by state agencies. CMS administers the Medicare program and works with the states regarding both the Medicaid program and other health care programs.

Health care providers have been and will continue to be significantly affected by changes made in the last several years in federal and state health care laws and regulations, particularly those pertaining to Medicare and Medicaid. For example, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the “MMA”) generally increased reimbursement levels while the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (the “DRA”) contained, among other things, a number of provisions aimed at slowing the pace of spending growth in the Medicare and Medicaid programs while increasing health care providers’ focus on quality and efficient delivery of health care services. Such focus was further reflected in the provisions of the Affordable Care Act, Taxpayer Relief Act and Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018. Diverse and complex statutory and regulatory mechanisms, the effect of which is to limit the amount of money paid to health care providers under both the Medicare and Medicaid programs, have been enacted and approved in recent years. Some of these laws and/or regulations have been or are being implemented, and others may be implemented in the future. The Operator is unable to predict what effect, if any, current and future legislative initiatives related to Medicare and Medicaid may have on the operations of the Project.

Reimbursement for Proton Therapy. Radiation therapy services furnished in a nonhospital setting are paid for under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (“MPFS”). Under this system, CMS assigns a national relative value unit to most medical procedures and services, adjusted for geographic factors, intended to reflect the various resources required to provide the services relative to all other services. The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (“MACRA”) provides for a 0.5% update to the MPFS for each calendar year through 2019, partially offset by various adjustments and policy updates, and outlines a new method for determining subsequent updates. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 reduced the update for 2019 to 0.25%.

Page 94: Public Finance Authority

-77-

The Affordable Care Act and various other policy changes generally provide for significant reductions in federal healthcare program spending. However, the final 2018 MPFS released by CMS estimates an overall impact for radiation oncology services of an increase of 1%. Against 2017 charges for payment rates for proton therapy, CMS approved an increase of 5.7% - 5.9%, depending on CPT code. CMS indicated that it will continue to address radiation therapy codes and pricing in future years, as the agency identified certain codes as potentially mis-valued.

To be covered by Medicare, radiation therapy must comply with specific criteria established by the local Medicare Administrative Contractor (“MAC”) that are intended to ensure that the therapy is medically necessary and appropriate. The Maryland MAC, Novitas Solutions, Inc., has determined that proton beam therapy is considered medically necessary under certain circumstances but there can be no assurance that the local MAC or CMS will not restrict, reduce or eliminate coverage in the future for proton beam therapy.

The Operator, acting through a contracted third-party billing company, will bill the local MAC on a global basis (meaning fees for both the technical and professional components) for each proton beam treatment provided to Medicare beneficiaries. Medicare reimbursement rates for proton beam therapy are subject to change, and there is no guarantee that current rates will not be reduced in the future or that the local MAC or CMS will not change the coverage parameters or eliminate proton beam therapy as a covered service. The Operator intends to provide proton beam therapy and all other Medicare covered services to Medicare beneficiaries in compliance with the general Medicare requirement of medical necessity, as well as any specific coverage criteria established by the local MAC.

Because the Operator will furnish proton therapy to Medicare beneficiaries at a freestanding facility, the Operator is subject to and intends to comply with Medicare provisions requiring that a physician be in the area and immediately available to provide assistance and direction throughout the time the therapy is being provided. Failure to comply with this supervision condition could result in denial of Medicare claims and exposure to potential liability under federal and state health care fraud and abuse laws, and, thus, would have a significant adverse effect on the financial operations of the Project.

Medicare Audits. Organizations participating in Medicare are subject to audits and retroactive audit adjustments with respect to reimbursement claimed under the Medicare program. Medicare regulations also provide for withholding Medicare payment in certain circumstances if it is determined that an overpayment of Medicare funds has been made. In addition, under certain circumstances, payments may be determined to have been made as a consequence of improper claims subject to the FCA or other federal statutes, subjecting the Operator to civil or criminal sanctions.

Program Integrity Audits. The Recovery Audit Contractor Program (“RAC Program”) is a CMS program that began in 2003 as a pilot program and became permanent in 2006. The Affordable Care Act expanded the RAC Program to include Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage plans), Medicare Part D (prescription drug coverage) and the Medicaid program. The goal of the RAC Program is to identify and correct improper payments made to providers. RAC Program activities are executed by contractors selected by CMS, who are compensated on a contingency basis. Contractors have three years from the time a claim is paid to review that claim.

The government maintains arrangements with other program integrity contract auditors, including Zone Program Integrity Contractors, Program Safeguard Contractors, Medicare-Medicaid Data Match programs, and Medicaid Integrity Contractors. CMS is in the process of consolidating these audit programs into a Unified Program Integrity Contractor (“UPIC”) audit program. It is unclear whether the anticipated benefits of coordination will result in increased audit and enforcement activity. Significant audit findings could result in material overpayment liability as well as referrals for enforcement under the civil or criminal laws, exclusion from participation in federal health care programs, or assessments of significant civil monetary penalties.

Value-Based Purchasing and Alternative Payment Models. Traditionally, Medicare reimbursement has been provided based on predetermined payment rates for given units of service, adjusted for variables such as geographic location. Some Medicare recipients enroll in Medicare Advantage managed care plans, under which providers may be reimbursed on a capitated basis. The healthcare industry is increasingly shifting toward value-based purchasing of healthcare services. The Operator expects value-based purchasing programs, such as programs that condition reimbursement on patient outcome measures, and alternative payment models, such as bundled payment programs, to become more common. For example, MACRA requires the establishment of the Quality

Page 95: Public Finance Authority

-78-

Payment Program (“QPP”), a payment methodology intended to reward high-quality patient care. Beginning in 2017, physicians and certain other healthcare clinics are required to participate in one or two QPP tracks. Under both tracks, performance data collected in 2017 will affect Medicare payments in 2019. CMS expects to transition increasing financial risk to providers as the QPP evolves. The Advanced Alternative Payment Model (“Advanced APM”) track makes incentive payments available for participation in specific innovative payment models approved by CMS. Providers may earn a 5% Medicare incentive payment and will be exempt from the reporting requirement and payment adjustments imposed under the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (“MIPS”) if the provider has sufficient participation (based on percentage of payments of patients) in an Advanced APM. Alternatively, providers may participate in the MIPS track. Providers electing this option may receive performance-based payment incentives or payment reductions of up to 4% of the provider’s Medicare payments based on their performance with respect to clinical quality, resource use, clinical improvement activities, and meaningful use of electronic health records. The adjustment percentage will increase incrementally, up to 9%, through 2022. The proliferation of value-based payment models may have an impact on the financial condition of the Project.

The aforementioned Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 affected a number of changes to MIPS’ scoring mechanisms, as originally specified by MACRA. First, MACRA provided for the “resource use” category to account for 30% of a provider’s MIPS performance score by 2021, but made no provision for its scoring during MACRA’s first year. For years two through five, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 provides CMS with the discretion to “gradually and incrementally” transition the weight of this category towards 30%, stipulating only that this category must, at minimum, comprise 10% of the overall performance score. Second, MACRA also sets a low-volume threshold for the purpose of excluding otherwise-eligible clinicians from participating in MIPS. Beginning with the 2018 performance year, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 provides that this low-volume exclusion will only be based on “covered professional services,” rather than separately billed items. The act also excludes separately billed items from MIPS calculations and payment adjustments. Finally, MACRA originally intended to set overall performance thresholds for 2019 at the average MIPS score; consequently, nearly half of all clinicians would fall below the threshold and receive a Medicare Part B payment reduction. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 allows CMS to gradually increase point values for the performance threshold until 2022, upon which point it must be set at the average MIPS score.

Commercial Insurance and Other Third-Party Plans

Many commercial insurance plans, including group plans, reimburse their customers or make direct payments to healthcare providers for charges at rates established by agreement. Generally, these plans pay per diem rates plus ancillary service charges, which are subject to various limitations and deductibles depending on the plan. To the extent allowed by law, patients carrying such coverage are responsible to the healthcare provider for any deficiency between the commercial insurance proceeds and total billed charges. There can be no assurance that patients will make payments of any such deficiencies.

The Operator has entered into agreements with the following PPOs and HMOs: Aetna, Cigna, CareFirst (BCBS), South Central, Medicare – Novitas, and Amerigroup and anticipates entering into additional contractual arrangements with PPOs and HMOs pursuant to which they agree to provide or arrange to provide certain health care services for these organizations’ eligible enrollees. Revenues received under such contracts are expected to be sufficient to cover the variable cost of the services provided. There can, however, be no assurance that revenues received under such contracts will be sufficient to cover all costs of services provided. Failure of the revenues received under such contracts to cover all costs of services provided may have a material adverse effect on the operations or financial condition of the Project.

State Laws. States also are increasingly regulating the delivery of health care services. Much of this increased regulation has centered on the managed care industry. State legislatures have cited their right and obligation to regulate and oversee health care insurance and have enacted sweeping measures that aim to protect consumers and, in some cases, providers.

Due to this increased state oversight, the Project and the Operator could be subject to a variety of state health care laws and regulations. In addition, the Project and the Operator could be subject to state laws and regulations prohibiting, restricting, or otherwise governing PPOs, third-party administrators, independent practice associations or other intermediaries on such items as fee-splitting, the “corporate practice of medicine” doctrine,

Page 96: Public Finance Authority

-79-

selective contracting (“any willing provider” laws and “freedom of choice” laws), coinsurance and deductible amounts, insurance agency and brokerage, quality assurance, utilization review, and credentialing activities, provider and patient grievances, mandated benefits, rate increases, and many other areas.

Dependence Upon Third-Party Payors. The Project’s profitability is dependent upon the Operator’s ability to enter into contracts with third-party payors at competitive rates. There can be no assurance that the Operator will be able to attract and maintain third-party payors in the future, and where it does, there can be no assurance that it will be able to contract with such payors on advantageous terms. The inability of the Operator to contract with a sufficient number of such payors on advantageous terms would have a material adverse effect on the Project’s operations and financial results.

Failure to Cover Proton Therapy. Several major payors have decided to limit coverage for proton therapy nationally as a treatment option for certain types of cancer. For example, UnitedHealth Care no longer covers proton therapy treatments for certain types of cancer, including breast, lung, bladder, head and neck, lymphomas, pancreatic and prostate cancer. Cigna only covers proton therapy for cancer of the eye, as well as cranial and liver cancer. These decisions are not expected to have a significant impact on total reimbursement available to the Project based on the Project’s current payor mix. However, there can be no assurances that additional third-party payors or Medicare will continue to cover proton therapy for prostate cancers or other cancers. The decision by additional third-party payors or Medicare to no longer cover proton therapy for prostate cancers or other cancers could have a material adverse effect on the Project’s operations and financial results.

Medicaid

Medicaid (Title XIX of the federal Social Security Act) is a health insurance program for certain low-income and needy individuals that is jointly funded by the federal government and the states. It covers approximately 50 million people, including children, the aged, blind, and/or disabled, and individuals who are eligible to receive federally assisted income maintenance payments. Pursuant to broad federal guidelines, the states and the United States territories (Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands) each (i) establish their own eligibility standards; (ii) determine the type, amount, duration, and scope of services; (iii) set the payment rates for services; and (iv) administer their own programs. Some states, including Maryland, operate certain Medicaid programs under a waiver of some of the basic Medicaid requirements. Pursuant to the Medicaid program, the federal government supplements funds provided by the various states for medical assistance to the medically indigent. In Maryland, Medicaid is administered by the Medical Assistance Program of the Maryland Department of Health.

In order for Maryland to continue to receive funding for the cost of its Medicaid program from the federal government, it must administer its program in accordance with federal statutes and regulations. The federal government has on occasion cut off Medicaid funds to states that were not in compliance with such laws and regulations. Medicaid is of limited relevance to the Project, because Medicaid patients have not and the Operator’s current expectation is that Medicaid patients will not represent a significant percentage of its patients. However, any such federal action taken with respect to the Maryland Medicaid program could have an adverse effect upon the Project.

Fiscal considerations of both the federal and state governments in establishing their budgets will directly affect the funds available to providers for payment of services rendered to Medicaid beneficiaries. It is important to note that although the payment systems can be categorized in general terms, the specific methodology varies from state to state. Significant changes have been and may continue to be made in the Medicaid program that could have a material adverse impact on the financial condition of the Project.

Medicaid eligibility is generally based on a combination of financial and categorical eligibility requirements. Most states determine threshold Medicaid eligibility levels by reference to other federal financial assistance programs, including Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (“TANF”) and Supplemental Security Income (“SSI”). TANF is a low-income assistance program for families with children that was adopted to replace the Aid to Families with Dependent Children program. SSI is a federal program that provides assistance to low-income aged, blind or disabled individuals.

Page 97: Public Finance Authority

-80-

The Maryland Medicaid program, including the Children’s Health Insurance Program (“CHIP”), provides health care benefits to children, pregnant women, senior citizens, individuals with disabilities, and low-income adults. As of November, 2017, over 1.3 million individuals were enrolled in the Maryland Medicaid Program.

Maryland administers its Medicaid program through the mandatory HealthChoice managed care program through contractual arrangements with designated third-party managed care service providers. Currently, the Operator has contracted with one (1) such managed health service provider, Amerigroup Maryland, Inc., to provide coverage for its services.

While Medicaid is of limited relevance to the Project, because Medicaid patients have not and the Operator’s current expectation is that Medicaid patients will not represent a significant percentage of its patients, if the existing contract with Amerigroup is terminated or expires, and additional agreements with designated HealthChoice payers are not secured, it could have an adverse effect on the Project.

Reimbursement under the Medicaid program is subject to the timely appropriation of sufficient funds by state legislatures, as well as complexities inherent in claims’ processing and cost-report settlement under each state’s Medicaid program. The federal and state governments, including Maryland, have considered, and are continuing to consider, changes to Medicaid funding, particularly in light of the budget crises facing many states. The United States Congress approved an increase in Medicaid funding to states; however, the federal government continues to explore long-term options to the funding difficulties with Medicaid. Certain additional proposals being examined may ultimately result in reduced federal Medicaid funding to the states, which could adversely impact the amount of revenue generated by the Project.

While the Affordable Care Act provides incentives for states to expand their Medicaid eligibility requirements, the U.S. Supreme Court, in National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius, struck down Affordable Care Act provisions eliminating federal Medicaid funding for those states that do not accept the new funds as an unlawful coercion of the states by the federal government. Therefore, states have the option to accept or not accept the new federal Medicaid funds with the attached conditions without risking the loss of all federal Medicaid funding. Although certain states have opted to fund Medicaid expansion in the near term, including Maryland, no state is obligated to maintain expanded Medicaid eligibility in future years.

Antitrust

Antitrust liability may arise in a wide variety of circumstances, including payor contracting, physician relations, joint ventures, merger, affiliation and acquisition activities, trade restraints or limitations, exclusive providers, and certain pricing or salary setting activities, as well as other areas of activity. The application of the federal and state antitrust laws to healthcare is still evolving, and enforcement activity by federal and state agencies appears to be increasing. At various times, the Operator or the Project may be subject to investigation or inquiry by a governmental agency changed with the enforcement of the antitrust laws. Violators of the antitrust laws may be subject to criminal and/or civil enforcement by federal and state agencies, as well as by private litigants. A common area of potential liability is joint action among providers with respect to payor contracting. With respect to payor contracting, the Project may, from time to time, be involved in joint contracting activity with hospitals, physicians or other providers. The degree of antitrust risk, if any, involved in joint contracting activities depends on the particular facts and circumstances. Because the Project offers unique services that are not readily available at other facilities, any exclusive contracting arrangements with other healthcare providers and physicians from other geographic areas may increase the likelihood of antitrust lawsuits.

Cybersecurity

Healthcare providers are highly dependent upon integrated electronic medical record and other information technology systems to deliver high quality, coordinated and cost-effective healthcare. These systems necessarily hold large quantities of highly sensitive protected health information that is highly valued on the black market for such information. As a result, the electronic systems and networks of healthcare providers and insurance are considered likely targets for cyberattacks and other potential breaches of their systems. In addition to regulatory fines and penalties, the healthcare entities subject to the breaches may be liable for the costs of remediating the breaches, damages to individuals (or classes) whose information has been breached, reputational damage and

Page 98: Public Finance Authority

-81-

business loss, and damage to the information technology infrastructure. The Operator intends to take measures to protect the Project’s information technology system against such cyberattacks, but there can be no assurance that the Project will not experience a significant breach. If such a breach occurs, the financial consequences of such a breach could have a materially adverse impact on the Project.

Debt Limit Increases

The federal government has, through legislation, created a debt “ceiling” or limit on the amount of debt that may be issued by the United States Treasury. In the past several years, political disputes have arisen within the federal government in connection with discussions concerning the authorization for an increase in the federal debt ceiling. Any failure by Congress to increase the federal debt limit may impact the federal government’s ability to incur additional debt, pay its existing debt instruments and to satisfy its obligations relating to the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

The Operator is unable to determine at this time what impact any failure to increase the federal debt limit may have on the operations and financial condition of the Project, although such impact may be material and adverse. Additionally, the market price or marketability of the outstanding Series 2018A-1 Bonds in the secondary market may be materially adversely impacted by any failure to increase the federal debt limit.

Professional Liability Claims and Losses

The operations of the Project may also be affected by increases in the incidence of professional liability lawsuits against healthcare facilities in general, and increases in the dollar amount of damage recoveries, resulting in increased insurance premiums and an increased difficulty in obtaining malpractice insurance. It is not possible at this time to determine either the extent to which such insurance coverage will continue to be available to the Operator or the premiums at which such coverage can be obtained.

Specialty Nature of Project

The Project is not comprised of general purpose buildings and generally would need to be retrofitted for industrial or commercial use. In addition, there is a restrictive easement encumbering the Project which requires that the Project be operated as a proton treatment center. Consequently, it could be difficult to find a buyer or lessee for the Project and, in the event of bankruptcy proceedings, the estate in bankruptcy may not realize the amount of the outstanding Series 2018A-1 Bonds and other outstanding debt from the disposition of the Project.

Financial Reporting

The Operator’s independent public accounting firm, in its report accompanying the Operator’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, expressed substantial doubt as to the ability of the Operator to continue as a going concern. See APPENDIX C - CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF MARYLAND PROTON TREATMENT HOLDINGS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016.” The Operator’s independent audit firm identified material weaknesses in the Operator’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2017. The Board of Managers of MPTH and new management of the Operator are in the process of putting controls and procedures in place to remediate such deficiencies as of July 2018.

Potential for Determination of Taxability

Under certain circumstances, interest on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds could become includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. Furthermore, the occurrence of certain events, or the failure of the Authority to comply with certain covenants contained in the Indenture or the Tax Agreement may result in the interest on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds being includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes from the date the Series 2018A-1 Bonds were first issued. If interest on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds becomes includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes, the Series 2018A-1 Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption. The only funds available for the payment of the redemption price of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds are the Revenues

Page 99: Public Finance Authority

-82-

generated by the Project. There can be no assurances that there will be sufficient funds available to the Trustee from such source at the time of such redemption in order to effectuate such mandatory redemption. In addition, in such an event, the holders of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds might incur a significant tax liability, and such holders would not in such event be entitled to receive any additional amounts from the Authority to pay such liabilities.

Possible Consequence of Tax Compliance Audit

The IRS has established a general audit program to determine whether issues of tax-exempt obligations, such as the Series 2018A-1 Bonds, are in compliance with requirements of the Code that must be satisfied in order for the interest of those obligations to be, and continue to be, excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes. It cannot be predicted whether the IRS will commence an audit of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds. Depending on all the facts and circumstances and the type of audit involved, it is possible that commencement of an audit of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds could adversely affect the market value and liquidity of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds until the audit is concluded, regardless of its ultimate outcome. See “TAX MATTERS” herein.

State Regulation of Project; No Certificate of Need Required to Operate the Project

Although Maryland is a Certificate of Need (“CON”) state, the Operator received a determination in 2010 from the Maryland Health Care Commission (“MHCC”) that a CON was not required for the Project because the Project is not a “health care facility” as defined under the provisions of MHCC’s CON regulations and therefore does not require CON review and approval. The Operator received this determination because the Project is a stand-alone facility and is not affiliated with a hospital. Although a competing proton facility operated by a health care provider would require CON review and approval and, in connection therewith, would need to provide a justification that it was necessary based on community need, another stand-alone facility could be developed and operated without CON review and approval.

Additional Indebtedness

Simultaneously with the issuance of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds, the Authority is issuing, under the Indenture, the Series 2018A-2 Bonds, the Series 2018B Bonds and the Series 2018C Bonds. The Series 2018A-2 Bonds are also being issued as Senior Bonds and rank on a parity with the Series 2018A-1 Bonds. Additional Bonds may be issued by the Authority under the Indenture, subject to the limitations set forth in the Indenture. Additional Bonds may rank on a parity with all Series 2018A Bonds, as more fully described in the Indenture. See “APPENDIX E – PROPOSED FORM OF THE INDENTURE – Provisions for Issuance of Bonds.” In addition, the Authority may issue Additional Indebtedness ranking on a parity with the Series 2018A Bonds for the purpose of financing working capital related to the Project. See “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR SERIES 2018 BONDS – Indenture Covenants – Additional Indebtedness.”

Absence of Market for the Series 2018A-1 Bonds; No Credit Rating

The Series 2018A-1 Bonds have not been rated by any credit rating agency. The Series 2018A-1 Bonds are a new issue of securities and will not be listed on any securities exchange. Prior to this offering of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds, there has been no market for the Series 2018A-1 Bonds. The Underwriters are not required to make a market in the Series 2018A-1 Bonds, and they may cease market-making at any time without notice. No assurances can be made that an active market for the Series 2018A-1 Bonds will develop. Moreover, even if a market for the Series 2018A-1 Bonds does develop, holders of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds may be unable to resell the Series 2018A-1 Bonds for an extended period of time, if at all. Consequently, holders of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds may not be able to liquidate their investment readily, or liquidate it at an attractive price. In addition, lenders may not readily accept the Series 2018A-1 Bonds as collateral for loans.

CONTINUING DISCLOSURE

Reports and Material Event Notices

The Operator has undertaken all responsibilities for any continuing disclosure to Bondholders as described below, and the Authority will have no liability to the Bondholders or any other person with respect to such disclosures.

Page 100: Public Finance Authority

-83-

The Operator has covenanted for the benefit of Bondholders to provide certain financial information and

operating data relating to the Project by not later than 120 days following the end of each of the Project’s fiscal years (the “Annual Report”), to provide certain monthly and quarterly financial and operating data relating to the Project and to provide notices of the occurrence of certain enumerated events, in accordance with the requirements of Rule 15c2-12, as amended, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Annual Report and notices of material events, if any, will be filed by the Operator with the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (the “MSRB”) in an electronic format as prescribed by the MSRB. The specific nature of the information to be contained in the Annual Report and the notices of material events is set forth in “APPENDIX I —PROPOSED FORM OF CONTINUING DISCLOSURE UNDERTAKING.”

In the event the Operator is replaced, the Authority has agreed in the Indenture to require any replacement

operator of the Project to enter into a continuing disclosure agreement substantially similar to the continuing disclosure agreement contained herein in APPENDIX I. See “APPENDIX E – PROPOSED FORM OF THE INDENTURE – Continuing Disclosure Agreement.” Compliance With Prior Undertakings

The Operator has no prior continuing disclosure undertakings. Authority Not Responsible

The Authority has undertaken no responsibility for any continuing disclosure.

TAX MATTERS

In the opinion of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, Bond Counsel to the Authority (“Bond Counsel”), based upon an analysis of existing laws, regulations, rulings and court decisions, and assuming, among other matters, the accuracy of certain representations and compliance with certain covenants, interest on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Code. Bond Counsel is of the further opinion that interest on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds is not a specific preference item for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax. Bond Counsel observes that interest on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds is not exempt from Wisconsin income taxes. A complete copy of the proposed form of opinion of Bond Counsel is set forth in APPENDIX H hereto.

To the extent the issue price of any maturity of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds is less than the amount to be paid

at maturity of such Series 2018A-1 Bonds (excluding amounts stated to be interest and payable at least annually over the term of such Series 2018A-1 Bonds), the difference constitutes “original issue discount,” the accrual of which, to the extent properly allocable to each Beneficial Owner thereof, is treated as interest on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds which is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes. For this purpose, the issue price of a particular maturity of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds is the first price at which a substantial amount of such maturity of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds is sold to the public (excluding bond houses, brokers, or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers). The original issue discount with respect to any maturity of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds accrues daily over the term to maturity of such Series 2018A-1 Bonds on the basis of a constant interest rate compounded semiannually (with straight-line interpolations between compounding dates). The accruing original issue discount is added to the adjusted basis of such Series 2018A-1 Bonds to determine taxable gain or loss upon disposition (including sale, redemption, or payment on maturity) of such Series 2018A-1 Bonds. Beneficial Owners of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of ownership of Series 2018A-1 Bonds with original issue discount, including the treatment of Beneficial Owners who do not purchase such Series 2018A-1 Bonds in the original offering to the public at the first price at which a substantial amount of such Series 2018A-1 Bonds is sold to the public.

Series 2018A-1 Bonds purchased, whether at original issuance or otherwise, for an amount higher than

their principal amount payable at maturity (or, in some cases, at their earlier call date) (“Premium Bonds”) will be treated as having amortizable bond premium. No deduction is allowable for the amortizable bond premium in the case of bonds, like the Premium Bonds, the interest on which is excluded from gross income for federal income tax

purposes. However, the amount of tax-exempt interest received, and a Beneficial Owner’s basis in a Premium Bond, will be reduced by the amount of amortizable bond premium properly allocable to such Beneficial Owner. Beneficial Owners of Premium Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the proper treatment of amortizable bond premium in their particular circumstances.

The Code imposes various restrictions, conditions and requirements relating to the exclusion from gross

income for federal income tax purposes of interest on obligations such as the Series 2018A-1 Bonds. The Authority and the Operator have made certain representations and covenanted to comply with certain restrictions, conditions and requirements designed to ensure that interest on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds will not be included in federal gross income. Inaccuracy of these representations or failure to comply with these covenants may result in interest on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds being included in gross income for federal income tax purposes, possibly from the date of original issuance of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds. The opinion of Bond Counsel assumes the accuracy of these representations and compliance with these covenants. Bond Counsel has not undertaken to determine (or to inform any person) whether any actions taken (or not taken), or events occurring (or not occurring), or any other matters coming to Bond Counsel’s attention after the date of issuance of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds may adversely affect the value of, or the tax status of interest on, the Series 2018A-1 Bonds. Accordingly, the opinion of Bond Counsel is not intended to, and may not, be relied upon in connection with any such actions, events or matters.

Although Bond Counsel is of the opinion that interest on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds is excluded from gross

income for federal income tax purposes, the ownership or disposition of, or the accrual or receipt of amounts treated as interest on, the Series 2018A-1 Bonds may otherwise affect a Beneficial Owner’s federal, state or local tax liability. The nature and extent of these other tax consequences depends upon the particular tax status of the Beneficial Owner or the Beneficial Owner’s other items of income or deduction. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any such other tax consequences.

Current and future legislative proposals, if enacted into law, clarification of the Code or court decisions

may cause interest on the Series 2018A-1 Bonds to be subject, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, to federal income taxation or to be subject to or exempted from state income taxation, or otherwise prevent Beneficial Owners from realizing the full current benefit of the tax status of such interest. The introduction or enactment of any such legislative proposals or clarification of the Code or court decisions may also affect, perhaps significantly, the market price for, or marketability of, the Series 2018A-1 Bonds. Prospective purchasers of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds should consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential impact of any pending or proposed federal or state tax legislation, regulations or litigation, as to which Bond Counsel is expected to express no opinion.

The opinion of Bond Counsel is based on current legal authority, covers certain matters not directly

addressed by such authorities, and represents Bond Counsel’s judgment as to the proper treatment of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds for federal income tax purposes. It is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or the courts. Furthermore, Bond Counsel cannot give and has not given any opinion or assurance about the future activities of the Authority or the Operator, or about the effect of future changes in the Code, the applicable regulations, the interpretation thereof or the enforcement thereof by the IRS. The Authority has covenanted, however, to comply with the requirements of the Code.

Bond Counsel’s engagement with respect to the Series 2018A-1 Bonds ends with the issuance of the Series

2018A-1 Bonds, and, unless separately engaged, Bond Counsel is not obligated to defend the Authority or the Beneficial Owners regarding the tax-exempt status of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds in the event of an audit examination by the IRS. Under current procedures, parties other than the Authority and its appointed counsel, including the Beneficial Owners, would have little, if any, right to participate in the audit examination process. Moreover, because achieving judicial review in connection with an audit examination of tax-exempt bonds is difficult, obtaining an independent review of IRS positions with which the Authority legitimately disagrees, may not be practicable. Any action of the IRS, including but not limited to selection of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds for audit, or the course or result of such audit, or an audit of bonds presenting similar tax issues may affect the market price for, or the marketability of, the Series 2018A-1 Bonds, and may cause the Authority or the Beneficial Owners to incur significant expense.

THE PROJECT

Project Overview

The Project, known as “The Maryland Proton Treatment Center” (the “Center”) is a radiation therapy cancer treatment center consisting of a 110,000 square foot, purpose-built building with 40,000 square feet of radiation shielded space. The Project features a five (5) treatment room configuration, including four (4) rotational gantries, one (1) fixed-beam room, a full diagnostic suite with magnetic resonance imaging, computer tomography, physician offices as well as research and development space for clinical research. All treatment rooms are equipped with the Varian Pro-Beam® System, including Pencil Beam Scanning, Intensity Modulated Proton Therapy and volumetric Image Guided Radiation technology. The Project has the capacity to administer approximately 45,000 proton treatments per year, which translates to an estimated 1,500 patients per year. The Project is staffed with physicians provided by the University of Maryland Radiation Oncology Associates, P.A. (“UMROA”). See “THE OPERATOR – Principal Project Agreements – Clinical Management and Professional Services Agreement” below, and “APPENDIX B – MARYLAND PROTON TREATMENT CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY.”

Ownership

The Project is currently owned by Maryland Proton Treatment Center, LLC (“MPTC”). At the closing of the Series 2018 Bonds, MPTC will (i) ground lease the land on which the Project sits and the improvements on such land and proton equipment which are fixtures to such improvements to the Authority (the “Ground Lease”) and (ii) convey the equipment and other tangible assets of the Project which are not fixtures, and sell all intangible assets, to the Authority pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement between MPTC and the Authority (the “APA”). The Project will continue to be operated by MPTC, as operator (the “Operator”), pursuant to a Facilities Operating Agreement between the Authority and MPTC. See “THE OPERATOR – Operating History” below.

Location

The Project is located on a 1.492 acre parcel at 850 West Baltimore Street in Baltimore, Maryland on the campus of the University of Maryland BioPark (the “BioPark”). The BioPark is adjacent to the University of Maryland’s Baltimore campus, as well as the University of Maryland’s School of Medicine and the University of Maryland Medical Center (“UMMC”), the flagship hospital for the University of Maryland Medical System (“UMMS”). See the picture on the following page depicting the site of the Project. It is in the urban, densely populated area of Baltimore, Maryland accessible to several surrounding states, including Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia as well as Washington, D.C. The Project’s proton treatment capability is complementary to and builds upon UMMS’s strong conventional photon radiation, chemotherapy, and surgical oncology offerings overseen by the University of Maryland Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center (“Greenebaum”). In 2016, the National Cancer Institute designated Greenebaum as a comprehensive cancer center, one of only 49 in the United States. Since peri- and post- operative chemotherapy and radiotherapy are recommended for the management of many types of cancers, most patients are managed with a combination of radiotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery, and medication. Having access to all forms of such treatment options within the same area is anticipated to benefit cancer patients.

Permits and Approvals

All permits and approvals necessary to construct and operate the Project have been obtained. Below is a list of the permits and approvals, such as clinical operating permits, clinical regulatory permits and professional licenses, necessary to operate the Project as well as the dates such permits and approvals were received or obtained:

Maryland is one of 34 certificate of need (“CON”) states where policy makers strive to limit health care

capacity and growth in expenditures to what can reasonably be justified based upon community need. The Project does not require a CON as the Project is not classified or owned by a hospital. In 2010, MPTC sought and received clarification from the Maryland Health Care Commission (“MHCC”) that CON review and approval of the Project is not required because it is not a healthcare facility as defined under the provisions of the MHCC’s CON regulations, and is not otherwise the beneficiary of a capital expenditure made by or on behalf of a healthcare facility that exceeds the expenditure threshold.

Project Design

The design of the Project was developed to prioritize operating efficiencies such as minimizing patient door-to-door treatment time and optimizing patient flow within the treatment area. The Project’s design provides that for every treatment room there are two patient preparation rooms where patients can be set up and immobilized. The Project design also incorporates a trolley system to assist with the movement of the immobilized patients from the preparation rooms to the treatment rooms. This configuration is expected to reduce overall in-room treatment time by performing setup and immobilization outside of the treatment room, thereby increasing time available for beam delivery and maximizing patient throughput.

Depending on cancer type, the Operator anticipates that patients will receive an average of 29 treatments, or fractions, during a 5-6 week period. Once the Project has achieved maximum efficiency, anticipated in year 15 of operation, each treatment is expected to require an average of 25 minutes. Currently, the Project’s average treatment time is approximately 30 minutes and is projected to ramp down approximately 0.5 minutes per year until maximum efficiency is reached. See “APPENDIX B – MARYLAND PROTON TREATMENT CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY.”

Project Technology & Equipment

The Project is equipped with Varian’s ProBeam® system to provide intensity modulated proton therapy (“IMPT”) delivered by pencil beam scanning (“PBS”).

The Project has one cyclotron and five treatment rooms (four with rotating gantries and one with horizontal fixed-beam technology). The one treatment room with horizontal fixed-beam technology has been commissioned by Varian and the Operator; however, it is expected that this treatment room will not be necessary for operations until mid-2019. In addition, the Project has a robotic positioning system, and a full suite of advanced imaging technology, including on-gantry Cone-Beam CT volumetric imaging. PBS uses an electronic guided scanning system to ‘paint’ the beam of protons in three dimensions. This allows clinicians to treat solid tumors around critical organs and healthy tissues.

PBS technology provides clinicians flexibility to shape the beam for more complex treatments. PBS also enables the use of IMPT to optimize precision, opening more potential disease sites to treatment than were possible under previous technology.

The treatment rooms feature robotic patient positioning tables with multiple degrees of freedom for treatment positioning. In addition, the on-gantry Cone-Beam CT system allows for greater visualization of the soft tissues and more precise tumor location than the X-ray positioning used in older-generation systems. Finally, the Project uses image-guided proton therapy (“IGPT”). IGPT allows physicians to track tumor motion, allowing for ability to maximize tumor dose delivery while minimizing radiation exposure to the surrounding healthy tissue. See “APPENDIX B – MARYLAND PROTON TREATMENT CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY.”

Demand

Patient Demand

The Feasibility Consultant has reviewed the projected demand for the services to be provided at the Project under four different approaches. These include: (1) a state of Maryland needs analysis; (2) a “Top-Down” population demand-based approach; (3) a “Bottom-Up” population demand estimation approach developed by MPTC staff; and (4) an independent treatment site-level analysis approach developed by the Feasibility Consultant, built up from county-level incidence estimates for cancer types for which it has been shown proton therapy has a likely efficacy. For each approach, projected demand is compared to expected capacity. See “APPENDIX B – MARYLAND PROTON TREATMENT CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY.”

Service Area

Using patient origin information as of August 2017, the Center’s primary service areas for the purposes of the Feasibility Study are defined as the counties with the shortest driving distance to the Center, from which the first 75% of all Center patients as of August 2017 originate (“PSA”). The secondary service area (“SSA”) is defined as the counties with the shortest driving distance to the Center, which are not included in the PSA, from which the next 15% of patients originate.

* The Center has no current or past patients from these counties or county equivalents as of August 2017, but they have been added to the service area since they are surrounded by other counties in the Center service area, which suggests future patients will likely originate in these counties as Center marketing activities and patient volume grow.

A map illustrating the Project’s primary and secondary service areas is depicted below.

Page 111: Public Finance Authority

A-6

In 2016, there were an estimated 14,437 radiation cases between both the primary and secondary service areas with 9,101 coming from the PSA and 5,336 coming from the SSA. By 2030, radiation cases are estimated to increase over 30% to 18,887 cases with 11,470 cases coming from the PSA and 7,417 cases coming from the SSA.

These projections apply only to patients from within the surrounding area and do not include patients coming from outside of the immediate region or international locations. Additionally, these projections include only cancer types that have been identified as being high-likelihood targets for proton therapy and may omit some cancer types that the Project may potentially treat in the future. See “APPENDIX B – MARYLAND PROTON TREATMENT CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY.”

Payer Mix

The payer mix by disease site for patients who have started or completed treatment is largely comprised of Federal healthcare payment programs (Medicare/Medicaid) and a mix of commercial plans. Payer mix as of June 2018 is made up of Medicare/Medicaid (23%) and commercial payers, including Carefirst BlueCross BlueShield (42%), Cigna (6%), UnitedHealth Group (5%), Aetna (4%), and a mix of other payers (7%). Self-pay accounts for approximately 6% of expected collections and military payer groups account for approximately 6%.

The Operator anticipates that Medicare patients will continue to represent approximately 21% of services provided. The federal Medicare program is administered by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”), an agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”). As a free-standing facility, the Project’s Medicare coverage and reimbursement are established by the local intermediary, Novitas Solutions (“Novitas”), who makes coverage determinations and sets the payment fee schedule on behalf of CMS.

treated with proton therapy, and between United States and international private self-pay patients. Each payment methodology results in a different payment rate. As described below, Medicare, through the local CMS fiscal intermediary, as well as most commercial payers have established payment rates for proton therapy treatment. Medicare has reimbursed for proton therapy treatment since 1991.

According to the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”), Maryland operates the nation’s only

all-payer hospital rate regulation system. This system is made possible, in part, by a 36-year-old Medicare waiver (codified in Section 1814(b) of the Social Security Act) that exempts Maryland from the Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) and Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) and allows Maryland to set rates for these services. Under the waiver, all third parties pay the same rate.

The State of Maryland and CMS expect that the All-Payer Model will continue to be successful in

improving the quality of care and reducing program expenditures for Maryland residents, including Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP beneficiaries. Moreover, the Maryland system may serve as a model for other states interested in developing all-payer payment systems. This system allows the Center to offer proton therapy at similar cost to patients as conventional radiation therapy.

The chart below summarizes by treatment site estimated weighted average revenue per patient, treatment course and treatment fraction. These are based on the combination of payer mix summarized above, Medicare free-standing facility payment rates, assumptions regarding expected managed care and self-pay rates and expected revenue from ancillary services and patient co-payments.

Based upon these inputs and assumptions, as of June 2018, the average weighted revenue per patient treatment course was approximately $64,453, equating to average revenue of $2,234 per fraction. Expected total revenue per patient for a complete course of treatment ranges from about $33,850 (liver treatment) to $80,950 (head & neck treatment).

Strategic Affiliations

The Operator has relationships with the UMMS network of thirteen (13) community-based hospitals and six (6) radiation oncology facilities. Each community practice within the UMMS network includes providers credentialed to practice at the Project. The Operator currently has proton therapy affiliation agreements with the following regional providers of radiation oncology services, and is in discussion with five (5) additional regional radiation oncology providers:

(i) Radiation Oncology Associates, PC (“ROA”);

(ii) MedStar – Georgetown Medical Center, Inc. d/b/a MedStar Georgetown University Hospital (“MedStar”);

(iii) WellSpan Medical Group (“WellSpan”); and

(iv) Chesapeake Oncology Hematology Associates, P.A. (“COHA”).

In addition, the Operator has an affiliation agreement with University of Maryland Anesthesiology Associates, P.A. (“UMAA”) with respect to anesthesia services at the Project. For a complete description of the existing physician affiliation agreements see “PRINCIPAL PROJECT AGREEMENTS – Physician Affiliation Agreements” in the forepart of this Official Statement.

The Operator anticipates that aggregate referred proton candidates will grow from roughly 600 in 2017 to approximately 1,700 by 2021, with proton candidate referrals from the University of Maryland growing from 220 in 2017 to 762 by 2021, and proton candidate referrals from affiliated partnerships growing from 75 in 2017 to 261 by 2021. See “Appendix B – MARYLAND PROTON TREATMENT CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY.”

Competition

Within a 200-mile radius of the Center, there are four additional proton therapy centers currently operational: the Roberts Proton Therapy Center at the University of Pennsylvania Health System (five rooms), Procure Proton Therapy Center in New Jersey (four rooms), Laurie Proton Therapy Center at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital (one room), and Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at MedStar (one room). In addition to these competitors, three additional centers will open between 2018 and 2020 and include Johns Hopkins Sibley Memorial Hospital (two rooms), INOVA Health System (two rooms), and New York Proton Center (five rooms). Although the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at MedStar is located less than 50 miles from the Center, there is limited patient capacity due to it only having one room. The Roberts Proton Therapy Center located in Philadelphia, PA holds the greatest competitor risk for the Center due to the proximity, reputation, and affiliation with the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Additionally, the INOVA center located 54 miles away will likely reclaim the volume currently directed to the Center through its affiliate agreement and become a competitor when it opens in 2020. Both Medstar and INOVA are anticipated to remain Affiliates and will continue to treat patients at the Center due to their respective center’s location and capacity constraint. See “APPENDIX B – MARYLAND PROTON TREATMENT CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY.”

The Operator believes that its ability to be competitive in the market will be influenced by a broad spectrum of objective and subjective factors. These include reimbursement levels, reputation, treatment efficacy, location, effective marketing, and strength of the clinical and management relationship with UMMS and other affiliates which serve as primary clinical and management partner and patient referral sources. Additional external factors include population service demand, competition and Maryland’s regulatory environment.

Historical Performance

The charts below present the Project’s performance from its opening in early 2016 until June 2018 in terms of average numbers of daily treatments. During the first eight months of 2016, the actual average treatments per day tracked closely to the budget forecast. However, in the last quarter of the year, the Project’s treatments per day were

Page 114: Public Finance Authority

A-9

below the budget forecast. Discussions with MPTC’s management suggested that the primary reason for this variance was an overly aggressive phase-in forecast for that period. In contrast to the initial budget forecast, which was based on assumptions for a new Project, the current budget forecast is based on historical performance data for the Project. In addition, there is now increased public market data on other similar proton therapy centers (both for nationwide operating centers as well as planned centers within the Baltimore-Washington, D.C. metropolitan area) than existed at the time of preparation of the initial budget forecast. Finally, while there was delay in treatment room handover which impacted the Project’s operations, all treatment room handover has now occurred. Over time, the general trend shows an increase in treatments per day and per month, with some month-to-month variability. See “APPENDIX B – MARYLAND PROTON TREATMENT CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY.”

Management’s Discussion of Financial Results

Fiscal Year 2016 and Fiscal Year 2017

The Center grew total revenue by over 130% from $15.2M in 2016 to $35.1M in 2017 and loss from operations fell from ($21.2M) in 2016 to ($12.9M) in 2017. Salaries and wages made up the largest component of operating expense increasing from $10.6M in 2016 to $15.0M in 2017. The Center had $52.1M in interest expense in 2016 and $50.6M in 2017, leading to a net loss of ($73.3M) and ($63.5M) in 2016 and 2017, respectively.

Current assets remained relatively consistent, increasing from $28.0M in 2016 to $28.9M in 2017. Total assets fell by over $19M between 2016 and 2017 due to a reduction in net property, plant, and equipment from $234.7M to $229.6M in 2017. Current liabilities significantly rose between years from long-term obligations becoming due. Total liabilities grew from $335.0M in 2016 to $379.5m in 2017. The net losses from the Operator led to an increase in member’s deficit from ($55.9M) in 2016 to ($119.4M) in 2017.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash dropped between 2016 and 2017 from $40.4M to $22.9M mainly due to (14.5M) net cash outflow from operating activities. In 2016, the Operator received $39.8M in proceeds from longer term debt and received no long-term debt financing in 2017. The Operator paid $23.8M and $22.0M in cash for interest expenses in 2016 and 2017, respectively.

Year-to-Date May 31, 2018

Net Patient Revenue. For the five-month period ended May 31, 2018, patient service revenue, net of contractual adjustments and the provision for bad debt, was approximately $16.7 million related to services of over 7,400 treatments. MPTC served over 250 new patients during this period.

Cash Collections. For the five-month period ended May 31, 2018, MPTC recorded approximately $16.3 million of cash collections for patient services provided for periods prior to May 31, 2018. Cash collections during the five-month period ended May 31, 2018 was provided by 60% managed care payors, 25% from Medicare, 6% from self-pay patients, 6% from other third-party payors, and 3% from Tricare.

Real Property Tax Exemption

MPTC will enter into a ground lease of the real property on which the land and building comprising the Project is located (“Ground Lease”) with the Authority and the reversionary interests will be donated to UMB Health Sciences Research Park Corporation (“RPC”) as a condition precedent to the issuance of the Series 2018 Bonds. Upon the donation of the reversionary interest to RPC, the Project will no longer be subject to annual real property tax. RPC is a Maryland 501(c)(3) corporation and is not subject to state or Federal real property taxation.

The term of the Ground Lease is 80 years and contains provisions (a) permitting the Operator to terminate the Ground Lease at any time after the 60th lease year, and (b) permitting the Authority to terminate the Ground Lease at any time after (i) the Bonds have been fully repaid and the Indenture is discharged, and (ii) the Leasehold Mortgage has been released. See “THE PROJECT – Ownership” above.

THE OPERATOR

Operator History

Maryland Proton Treatment Holdings, LLC (“MPTH”) is a limited liability company, formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 21, 2010 and authorized to transact business in the State of Maryland. MPTH, together with its wholly-owned subsidiary MPTC, were instrumental in the development, construction and operation of the Project to date. The Project broke ground in April 2012 and treated its first patients in February 2016. MPTC will be appointed by the Authority as the sole and exclusive operator of the Project pursuant to the Facility Operating Agreement between the Authority and MPTC (the “FOA”). MPTC will retain all prior and future service and equipment contracts with third parties as described below.

Amendment to MPTH Limited Liability Company Agreement

Prior to the issuance of the Series 2018 Bonds, the MPTH limited liability agreement will be amended to terminate the voting, Board designation and special consent rights (but not the economic rights) of the MPTH Class B Members and modify the provisions relating to the designation of MPTH’s Board members. MPTH’s second amended limited liability company agreement will provide that the Board will be comprised of (i) certain individuals currently serving on the Board and (ii) one or more additional members that represent the interests of MPTH’s Class A-1 Members and Class A-2 Members or are independent. MPTH may also establish a non-voting advisory board, which could include individuals designated by University of Maryland Faculty Physicians, Inc. and/or University of Maryland, Baltimore, which are entities affiliated with the Center’s clinical partner that are purchasing Series 2018A-2 Bonds.

Plan for Bolstering Internal Controls and Reporting

During the audits of MPTC’s 2016 and 2017 financial statements by BDO USA LLP (“BDO”), MPTC gradually recognized that in addition to deficiencies in its existing control environment, including the financial close process, it did not have the technical expertise to properly account for capitalized interest, debt issuance costs, the accretion of revenue share arrangements, debt modification/extinguishment adjustments, and key estimates necessary to determine the net realizable value of patient accounts receivable. Upon BDO’s recommendation, an

Page 116: Public Finance Authority

A-11

accounting consulting firm was engaged to augment MPTC’s finance and accounting team, assist with audit preparation and identify potential improvements in the internal control environment. Subsequently, MPTC completed its 2016/2017 comparative audit in July 2018.

MPTC has reviewed and continues to update its internal control policies to ensure that procedures are in place to address concerns that were identified by BDO. For example, MPTC has implemented a remittance authorization system tiered by role at the Center which holds both the enterprise team (CEO, CFO and Finance Department) and the medical team (Executive Director, Medical Director and their reports) accountable for expenditures. MPTC has also set a limit of $200,000 on new management spending per remittance and requires MPTH Board approval above such threshold.

Previously, MPTC had relied on summary data from the Center’s billing and compliance partner for MPTC’s financial reporting. MPTC has now installed a methodology to utilize the Center’s billing partner’s raw data to create accounting journal entries consistent with GAAP. Learnings from the audit have not only allowed MPTC to identify and implement changes to weaknesses in controls, but to also improve MPTC’s reporting.

MPTC’s CEO has made internal controls a strategic priority and has provided a directive to add five new positions committed to augmenting controls and monitors. These new resources include a full-time chief financial officer, chief administrative officer, finance manager, business analyst and A/P specialist. MPTC’s management plan is to continue to invest in resources to enhance internal controls to ensure transparency and timely reporting on a going forward basis. The chart below reflects the revised MPTC organizational structure highlighting the new additional resources.

1. INTRODUCTION

Constant and rapid change from shifting demographics, emerging care delivery and payment models,

advancements in technology, economic factors and evolving health policy and regulation characterize the

nation’s complex healthcare delivery market. Despite this challenging environment, proton beam therapy

continues to gain traction in the U.S. Approximately 28 centers are currently in operation, with an

additional 12 planned for or under construction.1

The Maryland Proton Treatment Center (MPTC or the

“Center”) located in Baltimore, Maryland is among those

currently in operation. To help convert to a non-profit

organization and recapitalize existing debt, at least $360

million in tax-exempt bonds is being contemplated. IHS

Global, Inc. (IHS) hereby consents to the inclusion in the

official statement and any related amendments for such

bond offering the results of a scope of research compiled by

IHS relating to a feasibility study conducted for MPTC.

Deciding which types of cancer should receive priority for

proton treatment and to what extent this technology should be funded is a complex medical and

economic issue amid ongoing discussion within the medical and policy communities. Against this

backdrop, a feasibility study organized to capture key considerations specific to MPTC and its market is an

important and prudent vehicle to help weigh the pros and cons of fully implementing and refinancing the

first and only large (five room) proton treatment center in Maryland and the Washington, D.C. area.

This feasibility study considers many market and MPTC-specific factors likely to influence future

performance. Examples include projected service demand by geography and cancer type, patient referral

patterns, the competitive environment, Center technology features and capabilities, operating costs and

third-party coverage and reimbursement. The remainder of this study includes the following sections:

2. ONCOLOGY MARKET OVERVIEW

In 2015, over 17.5 million incident cases of cancer were reported, with more than 8.7 million deaths

worldwide.2 Both outcomes are expected to increase, with the American Cancer society predicting 21.7

million cases, along with 13 million deaths globally by 2030.3 In the United States (USA), the cancer burden

is significant, with an estimated 1,735,350 new cancer cases and 609,640 estimated cancer associated

deaths in 2018.4 Forecasts to 2020 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicate that

the numbers of new cancer cases and the number of cancer deaths are both expected to rise.5 It is clear

that both globally and nationally, cancer will remain a substantial concern, especially as the population

ages and persists in unhealthy lifestyle choices (e.g., smoking).

Advancements in medical technology have expanded available treatment options for cancer. Three of the

most common treatments are surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy, with treatments conducted

either separately or in some combination, and although each is distinct, the main goal is to halt the

uncontrolled growth of cancerous cells.6 After being diagnosed with cancer, each patient’s treatment plan

is unique and influenced by various factors, including but not limited to the type of cancer, the size and

location of the tumor, the stage of the disease as well as the patient’s health and ability to cope with

treatment.

Radiotherapy is the treatment of choice in many cases, with the Global Task Force on Radiotherapy for

Cancer Control (GTFRCC) reporting that it is the recommended treatment in 52% of new cancer patients.

In the USA, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) cites an estimate of 60%.7 The American Society for

Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) estimates that at least two thirds of all cancer patients will receive radiation

therapy, and demand for radiation therapy treatment was expected to rise 22% between 2010 and

2020.8,9,10

MPTC operates primarily in conjunction with the University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS), as well

as other nearby medical systems. A feasibility study commissioned by MPTC in February 2015 considered

it a reasonable estimate that most of the demand for proton therapy treatment will come from areas

within 200 miles of the Center, in which about 48.3 million people live. On an annual basis, this study

estimated that 0.3% of this population may develop cancer (145,000) and 60% of these cancer cases are

candidates for radiation therapy (87,000). Of this group, approximately 20% may be eligible for proton

therapy, leaving the anticipated number of patients requiring treatment at 17,400, not including patients

from overseas or outside the service area within 200 miles from MPTC. In combination with cancer

forecasts that indicate an increase in new cases, these estimates suggest that potential patient pool will

exceed the Center’s estimated annual treatments of approximately 1,350 patients upon full ramp up, with

slight variations from year to year based on the number of days the Center is operating.

3. RADIATION AND PROTON THERAPY INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Radiation therapy remains one of the most widely-used treatments for cancers. In contrast to surgery (in

which cancer tumors are physically separated from the body during an operation), and chemotherapy

(which uses drugs to kill cancerous cells), radiation therapy utilizes ionizing radiation, which leaves behind

energy in the cells it passes through. High doses of radiation energy damage the genetic material inside

DNA, preventing the cells from repairing themselves.

A cell’s ability to divide is dependent on its DNA, a characteristic of both normal and malignant cells, along

with the ability to self-repair. However, the reparative capabilities of malignant cells are inherently weaker

due to their abnormality. As a result, in such instances, ionization often induces selective cell death. This

‘selectivity’ is an important advantage radiation therapy holds over other treatment options, as malignant

cells are more greatly affected by the radiation, and in general, radiation therapy causes fewer traumas

to the surrounding tissues versus surgery or chemotherapy, which can affect the whole body.

Radiation therapy is not a new treatment for cancer, having first been used in such a capacity as early as

1901. Since then, the technology behind the treatment has made significant improvements in efficacy,

effectiveness and side effect profile.11 For example, one of the earliest advancements made in the field

was the discovery that smaller doses of radiation, applied over a period of time yielded the same

outcomes as treating patients with one large dose, a modification that came with the added bonus of less

severe side effects.

Among the next big improvements was the development of generators that created stronger x-rays, which

allowed for deeper penetration into the body and less damage inflicted on the surface. Since then, the

technology has progressed to accommodate improved visualization and location capabilities, allowing a

greater degree of accuracy in determining the size and shape of tumors, which in turn allows for more

precise dose delivery. Additional advancements included shorter patient treatment times, the ability to

target the tumor from multiple directions and varying the intensity of the radiation beams.

Today, proton beam therapy represents one of the latest in a series of enhancements in radiation therapy.

Protons have a unique energy distribution profile, known as the Bragg Peak, which makes them ideal for

use in radiation therapy.12 They enter the body at extremely high speeds, which means that tissues at the

site of entry and along the path to the target are exposed to minimal radiation, and most of the protons’

energy is expended at the terminus of its path. A small amount of radiation dose is delivered 1-2 mm

beyond the stopping point of the proton particle, beyond which point there is virtually no radiation dose,

limiting any potential radiation damage to the tissues and organs behind the tumor (Exhibit 1).

Exhibit 1: Proton Bragg Peak Dose Distribution

The unique properties of proton therapy allow clinicians to deliver much higher doses with greater

precision, potentially improving local tumor control, with the added advantages of reduced patient side

effects and improved quality of life from less tissue and organ damage and fewer and shorter treatments.

12 Protons accelerated to 60% of the speed of light contain 250 MeV of kinetic energy and penetrates approximately 38cm into the body. The distribution below shows protons with 190 MeV, penetrating to 25 cm http://www.rptc.de/en/proton-therapy/radiation-treatment-with-protons/properties-of-proton-beams.html

Page 137: Public Finance Authority

6

Increased control and precision is achieved by varying the velocity at which protons are launched into the

body, which modifies the depth of the Bragg Peak and allows clinicians to contour the beam to the tumor

(Exhibit 2).

Exhibit 2: Variance of Bragg Peak Depth

Due to the implications of less damage inflicted on tissues and organs in general, and more importantly

to structures in close proximity to the target site, proton therapy is particularly suited for cases where

limiting this damage is of great importance. A prime example is pediatric cancer patients, where limiting

the exposure of still-developing tissues and organs to unnecessary radiation is one of the highest

priorities. In the same vein, the treatment is well suited for cancers located in parts of the body where

even the potential of damage is unacceptable, such as the brain, eye, head, neck, central nervous system

as well as the breast, given its proximity to the heart.

In recognition of the potential benefits that proton beam therapy can bring, and tied to the expected

general increase in demand for radiation therapy, the number of proton therapy centers globally and

nationally has grown significantly. There are currently approximately 21 operating centers in Europe, 17

in Asia, and one in Africa. In the U.S., 28 proton therapy centers are currently in operation, with 12 under

construction or development (Exhibit 3, Exhibit 4). 13,14

This growth is reflected financially as well, with the global market reaching the USD billion-dollar mark for

sales in 2015—more than double the sales in 2014.15 This trajectory is expected to be sustained in the near

term, with the industry projected to reach USD 2.88 billion by 2025.16 In addition to growing consumer

interest in proton therapy as a potential treatment option, technological advancements are helping drive

growth. These include enhanced imaging and planning capabilities, as well as miniaturization of proton

therapy equipment. Such smaller “foot prints” remove the necessity for large buildings to house them and

decrease startup and operating costs. Additionally, the greater number of centers presents training and

research opportunities for clinicians.

The foregoing benefits aside, the industry also faces headwinds and barriers to widespread uptake.

Examples include the following:

• A currently limited, although growing, evidence base demonstrating superior efficacy to less costly

conventional photon-based radiation therapy

• Unpredictable third-party coverage and a reimbursement environment that focuses on cost

containment and often requires clinical trials-based evidence that disadvantages newer technologies,

such as proton therapy, due to the length of time required to prove efficacy

These considerations, along with others, are explored in more detail in later sections of this study.

4. MPTC STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS

This section of the feasibility study profiles key project participants and affiliates and their relationships

with MPTC and roles in design, construction, operation, maintenance and financing of the Baltimore-based

treatment center.

University of Maryland Affiliated Entities

The University of Maryland clinical partners currently involved with MPTC include the University of

Maryland School of Medicine, the radiation oncology arm of the University of Maryland School of

Medicine’s faculty practice plan (University of Maryland Radiation Oncology Associates (UMROA)), the

University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC) and the Marlene & Stewart Greenebaum Comprehensive

Cancer Center (UMGCCC).

Overview of UMMC and Greenebaum Cancer Center

UMMC is the flagship of the University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS or the “System”) and the heart

of the System’s downtown Baltimore campus. The approximately 770-bed hospital provides tertiary and

quaternary care, with more intensive care beds than any hospital in the state and internationally

recognized programs in trauma, cancer care, cardiac care, neurological care, women’s and children’s

health, and organ and tissue transplantation. UMMC also provides comprehensive care for the West

Baltimore community in coordination with its second location, UMMC Midtown Campus. The 1,200 faculty

physicians at UMMC are all faculty members of the University of Maryland’s School of Medicine.17

17 Accessed at file: http://www.umms.org/-/media/systemhospitals/umms/pdfs/about-us/annual-reports/ummssom21016-web.pdf?la=en&hash=6D1EE48A61F3FACE2FAFB6BEB44499245E25953C

Page 144: Public Finance Authority

13

UMMC has approximately 6,500 employees and provides training for about half of Maryland's physicians

and other health care professionals. All members of the medical staff are on the faculty of the University

of Maryland’s School of Medicine.18

UMMC is currently ranked among the top 50 hospitals nationwide in four specialties in U.S. News & World

Report’s “Best Hospitals” 2016-2017: Cancer, Diabetes and Endocrinology, Ear, Nose & Throat and Urology.

The Leapfrog Group has named UMMC as one of the nation’s best hospitals for patient safety and quality

of care for six years in a row. 19 With operating revenues in 2015 of about $1.4 billion, UMMC also has a

significant economic impact on the metropolitan Baltimore area.20

The Marlene & Stewart Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center (UMGCCC) is one of 69 National

Cancer Institute designated centers. Of these centers, fewer than 50 share the UMGCCC’s status as a

Comprehensive Cancer Center.21 This higher designation, awarded in 2016, reflects the quality of

UMGCCC's cancer research. It is hoped that this distinction will drive more physicians to send patients to

UMGCCC, leading to more University of Maryland referrals to MPTC. The organization also is a major

referral center throughout Maryland and the region. Annually, it is estimated that approximately 3,390

new cancer patients seek care there, about 2,500 patients are admitted and about 45,000 outpatient visits

are seen.22 Annual cancer research funding at UMGCCC also has grown dramatically since 2002 from $19.4

to $61.7 million in 2016.

UMGCCC draws on the experience and expertise of clinicians and researchers from the University’s medical

school, and the UMROA, as well as fostering strong collaborative relationships with organizations such as

the Tate Cancer Center at UM Baltimore Washington Medical Center and with the University of Maryland’s

School of Public Health. As described below, it is anticipated that partnering with the University of

Maryland-affiliated clinical entities involved with this initiative will drive a significant number of annual

referrals to MPTC, serve as a source of clinical staffing and oversight and further round out and strengthen

the teaching and research capabilities of an already robust oncology program.

Review of UMROA-MPTC Clinical Management and Professional Services Agreement

Based on review of the Clinical Management and Professional Services Agreements, the terms of which are

summarized below, IHS concludes that the plan of operations, performance requirements, compensation

and guarantees herein are commercially reasonable for the services provided and are representative of

other comparable agreements with proton therapy treatment centers of similar size, operating

characteristics and affiliation with academic medical centers with strong oncology programs. Absent

material unanticipated adverse circumstances, the applicable parties should be able to perform their

respective obligations under the terms of these agreements.

UMROA is the clinical practice group and member of the faculty practice plan of the Department of

Radiation Oncology of the University of Maryland’s School of Medicine. UMROA provides to MPTC

physician clinical services under a Professional Services Agreement and management and administrative

services under a separate Clinical Management and Administrative Services Agreement.

Review of the UMROA-MPTC Professional Services Agreement

Concurrent with the Clinical Management and Administrative Services Agreements described below, MPTC

entered into a Professional Services Agreement in January 2012 with UMROA to provide certain physician

staffing, coverage and professional medical services at the Center. Unless terminated earlier, the initial

term of the agreement commenced on the agreement effective date (and will continue until 2036, a period

of twenty years plus the balance of months that extends to the end of the applicable academic year). The

agreement will renew automatically for a term of five years upon the expiration of the initial term unless

the Parties mutually agree in writing to terminate the agreement.

Under the agreement UMROA makes available through the Department of Radiation Oncology a sufficient

number of physicians to ensure that all Proton Therapy related services and consultations are provided

promptly and efficiently. Clinicians provide professional services, including radiation oncology services to

the patients at the Center using proton beam technology. Physician staffing levels are maintained in

accordance with Clinical Staffing Guidelines. These include guidelines for key positions hired in advance of

opening the Center and are subject to change upon review and written agreement by the Parties based

upon actual patient treatment volume relative to financial projections.

Physicians who hold a regular faculty appointment from the UM School of Medicine, are Board Eligible or

Board Certified in the field of Radiation Oncology, have obtained and maintained appropriate medical staff

Page 146: Public Finance Authority

15

membership and clinical privileges at UMMC and MPTC, maintain an unrestricted license to practice

medicine in the State of Maryland are eligible to provide professional services at the Center, subject to

credentialing requirements under federal and state law, and under UMMC’s and MPTC’s policies and

procedures. Both organizations also cooperate and coordinate with each other regarding participation in

network programs of third party payers and the Medicare and Medicaid programs, with all final decisions

resting with the ownership of the Center.

Regarding MPTC clinical leadership, Dr. William Regine, the Executive Director for the Center is the Isadore

and Fannie Schneider Foxman Chair and Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Maryland’s

School of Medicine. He also is ranked in the top five in the nation in NIH publications for research funding

profile, considered a national and international expert in GI and CNS malignancies and is co-inventor of the

GammaPodTM, the first treatment system dedicated to the stereotactic radiation of early stage breast

cancer. Dr. Charles Simone, the Center’s Medical Director, is an Associate Professor at the UM School of

Medicine Department of Radiation Oncology and former Associate Professor at the University of

Pennsylvania Proton Therapy Center. He has the authority to approve, direct, provide oversight, evaluate

and set standards for the physicians and non-physician staff practicing at the Center under the supervision

of the Executive Director.

The compensation formula for professional services provided includes both base and incentive

compensation payments as follows:

• Base compensation is calculated as a full-time equivalent (FTE) dollar amount specific to the levels

of physicians providing professional services. The per FTE amount of base compensation for

services provided by staff physicians is equal to the 75th percentile of physician compensation for

radiation oncologists as reported in the most recent Physician Compensation and Production

Survey of the Medical Group Management Association (“MGMA Survey”) plus 26%. The 26% add-

on represents an adjustment for the Dean’s tax and other practice plan assessments and the costs

of employee fringe benefits and related expenses.

In addition to the amount payable as base compensation to staff physicians, MPTC also pays for patient

care services provided by the Medical Director at the rate of 0.6 FTEs. The Medical Director’s compensation

is set at 115% of the 75th percentile of physician compensation for radiation oncologists as reported in the

most recent Physician Compensation and Production Survey of the MGMA plus 26%.

Page 147: Public Finance Authority

16

• The UMROA is eligible to receive incentive compensation payments annually based upon the

following formula: Incentive Compensation Payment= Incentive Rate x (the Practice’s W-RVUs-

Threshold).

o The incentive rate is defined as the Compensation to Physician Work RVUs Ratio”, at the

75th percentile as reported in the “overall” category of the most recent MGMA survey.

o Practice W-RVUs are determined by calculating total physician work-Relative Value Units

associated with services performed by practice physicians at the Center during the

reporting period.

o A Per-FTE W-RVU threshold that equals the Physician Work RVUs at the 75th percentile as

reported in the “overall” category of the most recent MGMA Survey is determined at the

start of each measurement period and establishes a payment upper limit.

Changes in compensation or third-party payer reimbursement methodologies may require periodic

adjustments in the compensation formula to continue to provide compensation on commercially

reasonable terms, consistent with fair market value. Accordingly, the management fee formula is subject

to periodic independent revaluation every three years.

The Agreement also includes non-compete clauses that apply in varying degrees of restrictiveness to

Center ownership, and UMMC physicians. The non-compete clauses require that while employed and for

a period of 18 months following termination of employment by the Practice or the agreement, the parties

involved not acquire or otherwise have an interest in or provide services at a proton therapy treatment

center in Maryland, Delaware, the District of Columbia, the City of Alexandria, VA., or the counties of

Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William, VA.

Review of the UMROA-MPTC Clinical Management and Administration Services

Agreement

Through the Clinical Management and Administrative Services Agreement entered into in January 2012,

UMROA in conjunction with MPTC established the Joint Operating Committee (“JOC”), which is responsible

for developing planning objectives for and consideration and approval of recommendations regarding the

operation of the Center. The JOC consists of four members, two appointed by MPTC and two appointed by

UMROA, one of whom shall always be the Executive Director. The role of the JOC in the budgeting process

is important in aligning all Center stakeholders.

Page 148: Public Finance Authority

17

Unless terminated earlier, the initial term of the agreement commenced on the agreement effective date

and will continue for a period of twenty years, until 2036. The agreement will renew automatically for a

term of five years upon the expiration of the initial term unless the Parties mutually agree in writing to

terminate the agreement.

Primary UMROA responsibilities under this agreement include: 1) recommending appointment of an

Executive Director and appointing the Medical Director at the Center; 2) establishing, implementing and

managing clinical operating policies and procedures for the Center; 3) establishing an audit or evaluation

program to evaluate the appropriateness and quality of professional services provided in the Center; 4)

making recommendations on annual budgets and operating plans, personnel and staffing levels and annual

performance goals and strategies to enhance the scope of services provided at the Center; and 5) providing

ongoing reviews of the Center’s utilization management and quality improvement activities.

In consideration for conducting clinical management and administrative services MPTC pays the UMROA a

management fee which includes an hourly fee, a monthly overhead charge and a performance incentive

payment subject to revaluation every three years:

o The hourly fee for services provided by staff physicians is based on the 75th percentile of physician

compensation for radiation oncologists as reported in the “overall” category of the most recent

MGMA Survey plus 26%. Hourly fees for the Executive Director and Medical Director also include

an additional 15% add-on payment.

o The monthly overhead charge is intended to reimburse the UMROA for operating expenses

associated with supporting practice physicians working at or for the benefit of the Center.

o Under the performance incentive payment structure MPTC pays the UMROA up to 10% of the

management fee based upon the UMROA’s level of achievement in meeting performance goals

related to specific quality of care and patient satisfaction metrics.

In addition to the Professional Services and Clinical Management and Administrative Services

Agreements, under a March 2012 Employee Leasing Agreement MPTC engaged UMMC to lease non-

physician personnel to perform specific services at the Center. Leased employees include a wide range

of non-physician clinical and administrative titles to be adjusted periodically as determined by Center

clinical staffing guidelines and in consultation with UMROA. Examples of leased employees include: 1)

nurse practitioners; 2) medical physicists; 3) radiologic technologists; and 4) ancillary support staff.

Budgeted staffing costs include annual salaries and fringe benefits for leased employees consistent

Page 149: Public Finance Authority

18

with the guidelines and approved budgets developed under the Professional Services and Clinical

Management and Administrative Services Agreements for each applicable Budget Year.

Public Finance Authority (PFA)

Under the proposed Facility Operating Agreement, PFA will own Maryland Proton Treatment Center, LLC

(the “Operator”). The Operator currently owns and operates MPTC and after the bond financing will

continue to operate MPTC pursuant to a Facility Operating Agreement between the PFA and the Operator.

The PFA is authorized and empowered to, among other things, issue bonds, notes or other evidences of

indebtedness in connection with the financing of projects located within and outside of the State of

Wisconsin, and to acquire, buy, sell, lease, encumber, mortgage, hypothecate, pledge, assign or transfer

any property or interest in property that is located within or outside of the State of Wisconsin and enter

into contracts related to the issuance of bonds.

Review of Varian Medical Systems, Inc. (“Varian”) Agreements

MPTC obtained its proton therapy treatment-related equipment and software from Varian pursuant to a

Proton System Purchase Agreement originally executed in June 2011 and amended in January 2014.

Varian is a worldwide manufacturer of medical devices for treating cancer and other conditions with

radiotherapy, proton therapy and other modalities. Varian employs approximately 7,400 people who are

located at manufacturing sites in North America, Europe, and China and sales and support offices around

the world. In addition to the California Protons Therapy Center in San Diego, California, Varian proton

therapy technology is also in place or under development in the U.S. at the Emory Proton Treatment Center

in Atlanta; Cincinnati Children's Hospital in Ohio; and the New York Proton Center in New York City.

Varian’s ProBeam System incorporates proprietary pencil-beam scanning technology allowing for precise

dose distribution as well as integrated scanning technology that applies a precise radiation dose, enabling

true intensity modulated proton therapy (“IMPT”). IMPT combines the precise dose delivery of pencil beam

scanning (PBS) with the dimensionally accurate imaging of 3D Cone Beam Computed Tomography, enabling

physicians to track where protons will be targeting tumor cells.

Other Varian system features include imaging, robotic patient positioning, and treatment planning and

information software to enhance treatment quality and workflow efficiency. These include the ARIA

Oncology Information System (OIS) which combines radiation, medical and surgical oncology information

into a complete, oncology-specific electronic medical record (EMR) to manage the patient from initial

Page 150: Public Finance Authority

19

diagnosis through post-treatment follow-up; and the Eclipse System, a treatment planning system that

supports a variety of proton beam lines as well as ocular planning.

Review of Varian Proton System Purchase Agreement

IHS reviewed the purchase agreement between MPTC and Varian summarized below and associated

appendices and amendments. This review finds and concludes that the pricing and payment milestones

performance requirements and terms are reasonable, standard for this industry and generally consistent

with other proton therapy industry contracts of a similar nature that we have recently reviewed. As a result,

barring unforeseen events and circumstances, the applicable parties should be able to perform their

obligations under this agreement.

The June 2011 purchase agreement with Varian was amended and restated in January 2014 to

accommodate change in MPTC ownership and facilitate the issuance of bonds to complete the facility. The

purchase agreement outlines the terms and conditions, pricing and milestones under which Varian

provides MPTC with the equipment, hardware, firmware and software and performs the installation

services in connection with development and construction of the proton treatment and research facility.

About $85.2 million is being spent on proton therapy treatment-related equipment and software furnished

by Varian pursuant to the amended purchase agreement. This includes about $80.6 million for a Proton

Therapy Treatment System and about $3.0 million for the ProBeam System Aria and Eclipse software. The

prices do not include applicable duties and taxes relating to the Proton System and Proton System

Installation Services. A down payment of about $17.0 million (20%) is non-refundable and has been paid

to Varian. Other payment milestones include:

• $4,259,521 due and paid upon shipment of Proton System components

• $29,816,647 due and paid on May 1, 2014

• $4,259,521 due and paid upon successful installation of Proton System components

• $12,778,563 due and paid upon successful handover of patient room one, with about $9,000,000

deferred to 9/30/2018

• $4,259,521 due and paid upon successful handover of patient room two, with about $4,000,000

deferred to 9/30/2018

• $4,259,521 due and paid upon successful handover of patient room three, with about $4,000,000

deferred to 9/30/2018

Page 151: Public Finance Authority

20

• $4,259,521 due and paid upon successful handover of patient room four, with about $4,000,000

deferred to 9/30/2018

• $4,259,521 due upon successful handover of patient room five, with about $4,000,000 deferred to

9/30/2018

The purchase agreement includes a provision for damages in the event Varian breaches a warranty. In that

event, Varian shall repair or replace the Proton System or any component as soon as practicable. If this

remedy fails, Varian will refund the purchase price paid for the System or components. Each party also

agrees not to recruit any staff involved with the installation of the System from the Effective Date for a

period of one year.

Review of Varian Proton System Operations and Maintenance Agreement

IHS reviewed the Operations and Maintenance Agreements between MPTC and Varian summarized below

and finds that the performance requirements, including guaranteed minimum treatment room availability,

are industry standard. The pricing provisions and terms are also generally reasonable, and consistent with

other proton therapy industry contracts of a similar nature. Therefore, the applicable parties should be

able to perform their obligations under these agreements.

The agreement includes preventive maintenance, curative maintenance and technical operations services.

Examples of preventive maintenance services include: 1) Replacement of such parts of the Proton System

as needed to keep it in good working order and operating in accordance with its specifications and

warranties; and 2) Monitoring and verification that the system software and hardware operates in

accordance with the specifications.

Examples of curative maintenance services include: 1) The provision of support by Varian personnel at the

Center to correct errors, and to bring the Proton System back to conformity with specifications in order to

mitigate downtime; and 2) Replacement and repair of defective parts and/or software of the Proton

System as necessary. In the event Varian is unable to correct errors by repairing or replacing the defective

Proton System Component within a commercially reasonable time, as determined by Varian, in its

reasonable discretion, Varian will refund the price paid by MPTC for the defective Proton System or system

components. Varian will also supply the hand tools, test equipment, and other equipment and specialized

fixtures needed to provide the support services at no additional cost.

Page 152: Public Finance Authority

21

During the support period, Varian ensures that the Proton System will function with guaranteed minimum

treatment room availability ranging from 75% to 95% as summarized in the table below. Availability means

that the treatment room is operating without any error that prevents the treatment of patients.

Exhibit 5. Summary of Varian Guaranteed Treatment Room Availability

Measurement Period

2nd Treatment Room Acceptance to Final Acceptance of all Treatment Rooms

Months 1-12 after Final Acceptance of all Treatment Rooms

Months 13-24 after Final Acceptance

Months 25 after Final Acceptance Through Termination

Guaranteed Treatment Room Availability

75% 90% 92% 95%

For each measurement period that the Proton System fails to meet the guaranteed treatment room

availability Varian will pay a service level credit calculated as follows: For each percentage point or fraction

thereof that the treatment room availability is less than the guaranteed treatment room availability for a

measurement period, the initial quarterly support services fee for the next contract year will be reduced

by the amount of the shortfall, expressed as a percentage, multiplied by two.

For example, if during a measurement period with a quarterly support services fee of $1,600,000, a

guaranteed treatment room availability of 92%, and an actual treatment room availability of 90.9%, the

Center’s guaranteed treatment room availability service level credit would be $35,200 as calculated below:

($1,600,000 X 1.1%) X2 = $35,200

The maximum guaranteed treatment room availability service level credit for any contract year will not

exceed ten percent (10%) of the service fee paid by MPTC for that contract year.

In addition, the contract also includes a down system credit arrangement. Under it if all five treatment

rooms are unavailable to treat patients for five consecutive operating days, for each additional consecutive

operating day that all five treatment rooms are unavailable for patient treatments, MPTC shall receive a

Page 153: Public Finance Authority

22

down system credit of $4,000. The maximum down system credit and guaranteed treatment room

availability credit for any contract year will not exceed 20% of the service fee.

Other proton centers have reliability commitments built into their equipment vendor contracts. For

example, the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Proton Therapy Center in New Jersey, which

opened in 2015, has an uptime commitment of 98% from Mevion Medical Systems, their equipment

vendor. For additional information, see the chapter below titled “Proton Treatment Center Facility

Assessment.”

Beginning on acceptance of the first two treatment rooms, MPTC paid Varian support services fees. The

payment schedule for these was adjusted depending on the actual timing of acceptance of each treatment

room.

The Operations and Maintenance Agreement also includes periodic pricing adjustments similar to those in

effect at the Emory Proton Treatment Center. Effective one year after the support service start date (i.e.

beginning in Quarter 5), the support services fees will be adjusted annually by an amount equal to the net

percentage change in the national Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers — All Items (Unadjusted)

as published by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (CPI) times the support services fees in effect

for the immediately preceding year. In year 5, the Parties will negotiate the support services fees for Year

6, which will not exceed about $8.2 million. The support services fees for all years following Year 6 will be

adjusted annually by an amount equal to the CPI times the Support Services Fees in effect for the

immediately preceding year.

Medical Management Billing & Compliance (“MMBC”)

The Center selected MMBC as the exclusive provider of management and billing and collections consultant

services. Founded in 2004 MMBC is a limited liability corporation authorized to transact business in

Maryland. MMBC specializes in the field of Radiation Oncology and is a leading provider for proton therapy

billing. MMBC works with staff at the proton center to accurately code Proton Therapy procedures and

maximize reimbursement and revenue collection. MMBC also reduces the risk associated with Proton

Therapy insurance authorizations by working with each provider to ensure approvals, often writing letters

on behalf of physicians and patients. In addition to MPTC, MMBC’s current proton clients include:

1. California Protons Cancer Therapy Center

4. Emory Proton Treatment Center

5. Baptist Health Miami Proton Treatment Center

Review of MMBC Billing Management and Consultant Services Agreement

MMBC provides billing and collection management services to the Center related to patient authorization,

ARIA encounter and compliance services. The scope of services also includes management of the Center’s

accounts receivable. Examples of management and consulting services provided by MMBC include:

• Management of accounts receivables

• Radiation Oncology billing/coding training for all physicians and staff, on an ongoing basis

• Insurance Authorization Approvals

• Coordination with Center accounting /finance staff

• Fee Schedule/Charge Master Analysis

Under the terms of an August 2017 Amendment to the Billing Management and Consultant Services

Agreement, the term of the agreement was made effective beginning March 25, 2015 for an initial period

of five years to be renewed automatically for additional successive periods of five years. For the

management and consultant services of MMBC, beginning August 1, 2017 the Center began paying MMBC

a billing rate of 4.5% of gross monthly collections. In any given month, the fee paid to MMBC will never be

less than $67,000 dollars or greater than $135,000 dollars.

system. It combines features such as multi-criteria optimization tools with full support for 4D adaptive

radiation therapy. It also includes functionality such as RaySearch’s algorithms for intensity-modulated

radiation therapy (IMRT), which uses advanced technology to manipulate photon and proton beams of

radiation to conform to the shape of a tumor. The system is built on the latest software architecture and

has a graphical user interface offering state-of-the-art usability.

In March 2017 Raysearch and MPTC executed a non-cancelable purchase agreement for ten additional

licenses of RayStation Version 6 for $1.99 million. The included configuration provides for ten simultaneous

planning access points and external beam planning software and applicable hardware.

UMB Health Sciences Research Park Corporation (“RPC”)

In April 2012 UMB Health Sciences Research Park Corporation acting through its affiliate BioPark Fayette

executed a development agreement selling a 1.492-acre site in Baltimore, Maryland to MPTC for

$13,400,000 to construct the proton therapy center, a 138-room hotel and about 3,905 square feet of

ancillary retail and office space, but current plans do not include hotel development. The agreement was

amended in December 2013 and again in January 2015. The transaction closed year-end 2013. The MPTC

contains 110,389 gross square feet. MPTC also received approval for reduced property taxes as part of the

Enterprise Zone/Focus area through the City of Baltimore Development Corporation. The tax credit applies

for ten years and is renewable if the Center continues to invest in the facility. Common area maintenance

charges commenced March 1, 2016 at $400,000 per quarter, increasing 2.0% each January 1st. The current

annual cost is $416,160.

5. COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES AND AREAS OF RISK

The Center believes that its ability to be competitive in the market will be influenced by a broad spectrum

of objective and subjective factors. These include reimbursement levels, reputation, treatment efficacy,

location, effective marketing, and strength of the clinical and management relationship with UMMS and

other affiliates which serve as primary clinical and management partner and patient referral sources.

Additional external factors include population service demand, competition and Maryland’s regulatory

environment. Based upon review of these and other factors discussed below, the Center currently appears

well positioned to compete within its service area.

Potential Competitive Strengths

As discussed throughout this study, key operating features and environmental factors intersect to render

the Center unique in the local market. These include size, state of the art technology, design features that

foster efficiency and revenue maximization, strong affiliations with local healthcare providers, including

the University of Maryland Medical System, UMROA and affiliates, who combined have a market presence

sufficient to help ensure the patient volume needed for financial viability, about 440 referring physicians

Page 160: Public Finance Authority

29

to date25, high levels of population demand for proton therapy services within the Center’s primary and

secondary service areas, adequate reimbursement and the support of city and state governments.

Historically, the layout of most proton therapy centers was designed primarily for research purposes and

did not prioritize such operating efficiencies as minimizing patient door-to-door treatment time by

optimizing patient flow within the treatment area. By comparison, technological advances, design and

other features that distinguish this Baltimore-based Center include:

• Efficient Design Features: One enhanced design feature is that for every treatment room there are

two preparation rooms where patients can be set up and immobilized. This configuration virtually

eliminates the use of the treatment room for patient preparation and immobilization, increasing time

available for beam delivery. As the only center in the region with loading rooms and a trolley system

for patient immobilization outside of the treatment room, this feature is estimated conservatively to

save about five to seven minutes per treatment as compared to centers without similar technology.

• Superior IMPT and PBS Technology: IMPT, the form of proton therapy treatment provided at the

Center, allows a targeted dose of radiation to be delivered directly to tumors, minimizing radiation

exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. IMPT also allows for single-field optimization, in which the

spot intensities for each beam are optimized one by one, and multiple-field optimization, where the

optimization happens for all beams at once. Scanning is more efficient, and since it does not involve

the collision of protons with materials such as scatter foils, the generation of secondary neutrons is

minimal.

In addition, the Proton System provided by Varian utilizes pencil beam scanning, a robotic positioning

system and on-gantry Cone beam CT scanning. Pencil beam scanning is considered superior to

traditional proton therapy as it provides clinicians more flexibility to shape the beam for more complex

treatments and the ability to treat deeper seated tumors. This advancement in treatment delivery is

characterized by the use of magnets that deflect the proton beam, guiding it across the surface of the

target tumor. Computers are used to map the treatment area, layer by layer, with the energy of the

beam modified depending on spot depth to arrive at the intended dose pattern. This allows for a much

higher level of conformity.

Page 161: Public Finance Authority

30

PBS is a technology feature that many older centers do not possess. In addition to IMPT and PBS, the

Center uses image guided proton therapy (IGPT), allowing physicians to track tumor motion, thus

providing the ability to maximize tumor dose delivery while minimizing radiation exposure to healthy

tissue.

In addition to technology and design features that foster efficiency and high-quality patient care, other

environmental factors unique to the local market within which MPTC operates also present competitive

strengths and opportunities. Foremost among these include:

• Benefiting from the University of Maryland Brand and Patient Referral Network: Understanding

referral patterns and the politics of referrals is an important success factor. In the past, early adopters

with little to no experience in the referral patterns of proton therapy, and without understanding the

politics of physician referrals, accepted aggressive performance projections that were largely based on

a simple calculation of hours in the day, and equipment vendor statements on how many patients

could be treated per hour. What was not well understood was the impact of referring physicians, many

of whom may not at the time have been well informed of proton therapy and had competing issues to

consider.26

These issues appear to have largely been avoided by MPTC in its selection of clinical partners. As

enumerated in the Clinical Management and Professional Services Agreements between UMROA and

MPTC, UMROA provides the clinical expertise for the Center, including physician services, medical

direction, clinical management and other administrative services. The Center also currently draws a

significant portion of its radiation therapy patients from the UMMS state-wide network of 13

community-based hospitals, six radiation oncology facilities and other referring practitioners.

In addition, the Center also has and continues to develop affiliations with major regional providers of

radiation oncology services (see the section of the study below titled “Assessment of MPTC Service

Demand”). As a result, MPTC is positioned to receive a significant number of referrals from UMMS and

other affiliates, helping ensure a stable and sustainable market presence.

31

• Benefiting from Maryland’s Certificate of Need (CON) Regulatory Environment: Maryland is one of

34 CON states where, in varying degrees, policy makers strive to limit health care capacity and growth

in expenditures to what can reasonably be justified based upon community need.27 The State’s CON

program is intended to ensure that new health care facilities and services are developed in Maryland

only as needed and that, if determined to be needed, they are: (1) the most cost-effective approach to

meeting identified needs; (2) of high quality; (3) geographically and financially accessible; (4) financially

viable; and (5) will not have a significant negative impact on the cost, quality, or viability of other health

care facilities and services.28

In 2010 MPTC sought a determination from the Maryland Health Care Commission (MHCC) that CON

review and approval of the proposed facility was not required. In due course MPTC received

correspondence from the MHCC clarifying that the Center is not a “health care facility” as defined

under the provisions of MHCC’s CON regulation and therefore does not require CON review and

approval.

The Maryland CON requirements and approval process should help channel technological diffusion and

support MPTC in carrying out its business plans by restricting potential external competition from

moving into the state. Put another way, the Center will likely continue to have a first-mover advantage

in helping deter potential outside competitors from entering the local market.

• Benefiting from geographic proximity due to a large and growing regional market: The state of

Maryland is one of the most densely populated states with nearly six million residents, and MPTC is in

the largest city in the state. In addition, the 200-mile radius surrounding MPTC includes the heavily

populated east coast urban areas and suburbs of New York, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C. As

discussed below in the assessment of MPTC service demand the growing number of cancer cases

eligible for proton therapy exceeds the treatment capabilities of both existing and currently planned

proton centers in the regional market.

• Benefiting from growing acceptance within the medical community: There are signs of growing

acceptance of proton therapy’s efficacy within the medical community. For example, a February 2017

27 Uploaded from http://www.ncsl.org/research/health/con-certificate-of-need-state-laws.aspx 28 Uploaded from http://mhcc.maryland.gov/mhcc/pages/hcfs/hcfs_con/hcfs_con_overview.aspx

Page 163: Public Finance Authority

32

market survey of 1,200 hospitals by Robust Insight found 82 percent of respondents were aware that

proton therapy has lower risk of treatment-induced disorders than conventional radiotherapy.29

Furthermore, survey results indicated that more people saw proton therapy as an effective option for

treating pediatric cancers and those at the base-of-skull, lung and prostate than in a similar survey in

2009. Ultimately, 77 percent of survey respondents believed that more clinical evidence demonstrating

the benefits of proton therapy will be forthcoming.

Overall, the Center appears well positioned to successfully operate and compete within its service area.

The combination of these and other features described below should ensure robust patient volume

through the UMMC affiliation and independent marketing efforts, and shorten treatment times,

thereby increasing patient throughput and revenue.

Potential Competitive Weaknesses

The cancer treatment industry is competitive and the Center likely will compete to some degree with other

cancer treatment providers and settings.

• Increased regional competition may adversely affect the utilization and revenues of the Center: MPTC

will compete against other cancer treatment settings, methods and technology systems. Increased

competition from a variety of existing and potential new competitors, including but not limited to, local

and regional proton treatment centers, hospital-based and free-standing radiation therapy,

chemotherapy and other services that may adversely affect future Center utilization and revenues.

As depicted in the table below, currently, the closest operating proton therapy treatment sites within

200 miles of the Center are in Washington, D.C.; Philadelphia, PA; Somerset, NJ and Hampton, VA.

Among these four, the Roberts Proton Therapy Center in Philadelphia is the most likely potential

competitor in the near term.

Able to treat about 100 patients daily, it is reportedly highly regarded within the radiation oncology

community. Positive factors cited include its affiliation with the University of Pennsylvania Health

System and Medical School, strong clinical faculty, specialized expertise with pediatric patients

29 Accessed at https://www.itnonline.com/article/proton-therapy-continues-rapid-growth

Page 164: Public Finance Authority

33

implemented through an affiliation agreement with Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and ability to

achieve program growth targets and operate successfully in the market. 30

By comparison, the Hampton University Center, although large, lacks an affiliation with an academic

medical center or medical school and is reportedly operating below capacity. Several years ago,

Procure Proton Therapy Center in Somerset, New Jersey established an affiliation with Memorial Sloan

Kettering, a member of the New York Proton Consortium, and currently benefits from a referral stream

from the well-known NYC oncology center. Several Memorial Sloan Kettering attending physicians also

currently treat patients and supervise residents at the Procure facility.

With these factors in mind and, except for the Roberts Center, MPTC likely will not meaningfully

compete with currently operating facilities in the foreseeable future. As described below in the

discussion of service demand, the majority of MPTC patients is likely to originate within the greater

Maryland service area and the Center is partnering with UMMS, UMROA and external affiliates to

ensure an adequate and sustainable volume of patient referrals. MPTC is also implementing a

comprehensive marketing and communications plan directed towards this population to further

develop and strengthen physician referral streams.

36

Memorial Hospital, scheduled to open in the near future.32 There likely will be little competitive risk to

MPTC from the MedStar Center given its limited one room capacity.

Sibley may become a limited competitor in the MPTC regional market due, in part, to overlapping service

areas, a strong Johns Hopkins Health System-based referral network and the Johns Hopkins reputation.

However, these factors are offset by limited capacity (two treatment rooms with one dedicated to

research). Sibley has defined its primary service area to include counties within a 100-mile radius and

estimates that about 70% of pediatric and adult proton therapy patients will be generated from this

regional market. The market is anticipated to include Washington, D.C., counties in Northern Virginia,

Central Maryland, Southern Pennsylvania, Delaware and small portions of West Virginia.33

As noted, Sibley anticipates reaching its capacity goals primarily through referrals from Johns Hopkins

Health System (which has extensive regional breadth), Children’s National Medical Center and Howard

University Hospital. Their anticipated market includes all Johns Hopkins Health System providers and

affiliates, including the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, a National Cancer Institute

designated comprehensive cancer center, which US News and World Report ranked as the number three

cancer hospital in the nation in 2012. All Children’s Hospital, a Johns Hopkins pediatric hospital located in

Tampa, Florida also will refer children to the Sibley site.

Inova Health System in Virginia also plans to begin offering proton beam therapy at its Inova Schar Cancer

Institute by 2020 after signing a $60 million contract in 2017 for a proton system from Reston-based Ion

Beam Applications S.A.34 The INOVA center’s future competitive profile remains to be determined, based

on available capacity, future referral channels and other factors.

Doctors in New York City currently send patients to Philadelphia, Boston or New Jersey for proton therapy

treatment. However, the New York Proton Center, made up of a consortium of three of New York City’s

leading cancer treatment providers — Sloan Kettering, Mt. Sinai and Montefiore Health System is

37

scheduled to begin seeing patients in February 2019. The new center is expected to treat around 1,400

patients annually. 35

These pending developments suggest a somewhat limited future competitive environment within a heavily

populated regional market where projected service demand, as detailed below, will likely exceed available

capacity under any reasonable planning scenario.

Potential Risk Areas

Potential environmental and business-related risks associated with the proposed operations of the Center

are summarized below. The occurrence of one or more of these risks could have a material adverse effect

on the financial condition and results of operations of the Center and, in turn, the ability to service the debt

on the Project. Additional risks and uncertainties currently not known to us or that we currently consider

to be immaterial may also impair business operations.

Environmental Risks

• General economic conditions may adversely affect the Center. Health care providers are affected by

the economic environment in which they operate. To the extent in the future that employers reduce

employee healthcare coverage, health insurers reduce proton therapy service coverage and/or

payment rates and economic conditions increase stresses on the budgets of states, including the State

of Maryland, the Center may experience declines in patient volume, payment delays and reductions in

service revenue. Furthermore, lower funding of Medicare, Medicaid and other public payment

programs may increase the number of patients unable to pay for services, increasing uncollectable

accounts and reducing Center operating income. In addition, although there are no limits on the

geographic location of patients treated at the Center, it is based in Baltimore, Maryland. Hence, any

adverse regional economic or business developments may also result in material adverse “trickle-

down” effects upon the Center.

• Changes in Federal and State healthcare policies may affect Center operations in unpredictable ways.

The 2010 Affordable Care Act (ACA) includes numerous provisions affecting healthcare delivery and

financing slated to take effect at specified times, and many of these provisions have been

35 Accessed at https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/26/nyregion/the-high-tech-big-footprint-cancer-center.html

Page 169: Public Finance Authority

38

implemented. It remains possible, however, that changes in administration and policy resulting from

the 2016 U.S. presidential election could lead to changes to ACA, including the potential repeal of all

or parts of that law.

The U.S. Congress and the Maryland General Assembly have considered proposals involving

comprehensive healthcare reform in recent years. No assurance can be given that any future legislation

enacted will not materially adversely affect the Center or the University of Maryland Health System.

For example, the Republican health care reform proposal introduced in March 2017, if passed by

Congress, would have undone the ACA’s expansion of Medicaid, replaced the ACA’s insurance subsidies

with a tax credit, and done away with the individual mandate requirement. While the future of federal

and state policies and their downstream effects on the Center are unclear, these types of uncertainties

create unpredictability for the business planning efforts of the Center which, in turn, may contribute

to possible risk.

Another potential uncertainty is the future of Maryland’s unique all-payer rate setting system for

hospital services. Under this system Maryland and CMS agreed to test whether an all-payer system for

hospital reimbursement is effective for advancing better care and reducing cost growth. This model

required Maryland to limit its annual per capita total hospital cost growth to 3.58% and generate $330

million in Medicare savings over a five year period.36 During this period Maryland achieved an

estimated $429 million in total Medicare hospital savings, exceeding the model’s hospital savings

requirement.37 Federal regulators have been enthusiastic about Maryland's experiment and, although

the program is scheduled to sun-set in January 2019, appear flexible regarding the future.38

Nevertheless, changes in federal policy may influence the future state all-payer system and financial

environment in unpredictable ways that may affect future MPTC revenue.

• Technological and clinical developments may impact service demand. New technologies, medical

practices and/or changes in physician technology preferences and referral patterns may alter the

future course of medical treatments in ways that are currently unanticipated and that may dramatically

36 Uploaded from https://innovation.cms.gov/initiatives/Maryland-All-Payer-Model/ 37 Uploaded from http://www.healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/hblog20170131.058550/full/ 38 Uploaded from http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/opinion/editorial/bs-ed-hospital-rates-20160604-story.html

Page 170: Public Finance Authority

39

change the practice of oncology and radiation therapy. For example, if clinical data proves favorable,

adoption of hypo-fractionation may become common in the future; possibly increasing the number of

patients seeking proton therapy while reducing both per patient revenue and cost. Technological

developments also might support the continued evolution of smaller less costly one room centers with

lower financial break-even points, possibly extending this technology to additional care settings, such

as community hospitals and mid-sized academic medical centers.

Business Risks

• The Center has limited operating history on which to judge future prospects. To date the Center has

an operating history of about two years on which to base an evaluation of its business. The Center

continues to be subject to risks inherent in start-up businesses with a limited operating history,

including unanticipated delays, and problems often encountered by new businesses operating in

evolving markets. Failure to successfully address these risks could have an adverse effect on the

Center’s business and financial condition.

• Failure of the Center’s technological advances to perform as expected may adversely affect financial

performance and results of operations. The Center believes it is distinguishing itself from competitors

by incorporating new technological advances, including a new efficient layout to increase patient

throughput, and PBS technology developed by Varian. It is expected that these unique features will

provide clinicians with better efficiency and more flexibility to handle complex treatment protocols.

The Maryland Proton Treatment Center is a relatively new facility with five treatment rooms (of which

four are currently in use with the fifth planned for utilization in 2019), pencil-beam scanning and an

efficient layout. However, if the layout of the facility or the facility’s technology does not function as

efficiently as expected, the Center could fail to achieve the desired shorter treatment times and

enhanced patient throughput expected to help drive volume and profitability. Any failure of these

advances to provide expected benefits could materially affect financial condition and results of

operations. To help protect against such risks, MPTC’s contract with Varian stipulates that,

commencing 13 months after final equipment acceptance, the manufacturer compensate the Center

if equipment downtime drops below 92% for months 13-24 and below 95% for months 25 on due to

operational issues with the technology.

By way of illustrating this type of operational business risk, Exhibit 10 depicts trends in average Varian system up time at MPTC during from July 2016-July 2018. During 2017, the system achieved sound overall

Page 171: Public Finance Authority

40

stability with an average up time of about 97%. Nevertheless, occasional intermittent local utility issues

affected power reliability which impacted system stability during May and August, resulting in lower

average clinical up times of 86% and 88%, respectively.39 Similarly, MPTC experienced issues with

downtime in mid-October 2017 early December 2017, and February 2018. Center downtime root causes

include power quality events, system reboots, and hardware replacement/recalibrations. Despite

occasional disruptions, Center uptime has been increasing over time.

Exhibit 10: Summary of Monthly Trends in MPTC Varian Equipment Up-Time (July 2016-July 2018)

• Proton therapy services must achieve and maintain market acceptance with payers and the medical

community for the Center to succeed. The success of proton therapy will depend on the treatment’s

acceptance by payers and clinicians as clinically useful, cost-effective and safe. As described below, to

date the Center has been successful in gaining payer acceptance. In addition, the Center has and will

continue to devote significant resources on educational efforts to expand awareness of proton

therapy, to encourage acceptance and adoption of these technologies and to promote their safe and

effective use. The Center will also need to continue demonstrating effective payer relations through

the ability to obtain high levels of coverage and reimbursement from public and private third-party

payers.

Historically, third-party reimbursement rates and service coverage levels vary between private payers

who make individual determinations of what cancer types they will pay to have treated with proton

39 Source: Varian Equipment Update Reports

Page 172: Public Finance Authority

41

therapy. Nationally, Medicare currently provides the backbone for proton therapy in terms of public

payer coverage and reimbursement. As a free-standing facility MPTC’s Medicare payments are

administered by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) through Novitas

Solutions, Inc. (Novitas) a local Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) who establishes payment

fee schedules and local coverage decisions. As noted below in the review of financial information, the

Center also reportedly continues to execute additional commercial payer contracts (e.g., Blue

Cross/Blue Shield, Aetna, and Cigna).

In addition, MPTC benefits directly from Maryland’s unique reimbursement landscape. The “all payer”

rate setting model enables all payers to pay the same rate for hospital-based treatments. This rate

system supports a high IMRT rate and allows MPTC to charge for proton therapy the same rate as IMRT,

making the decision to approve proton therapy cost-neutral to payers. This means payers are more

likely to cover patients who are eligible for proton therapy since the cost is neutral to them compared

to traditional radiation therapy.

Although recent developments are encouraging, if MPTC’s proton therapy services do not achieve

widespread market acceptance, insufficient revenue may be generated to achieve or maintain

profitability. In addition, if commercial payers or Medicare reduce their reimbursement, or the current

“all-payer” system experiences major future changes, the Center’s revenue base and profitability might

be adversely affected.

• Long-term clinical research and data validating efficacy and safety of proton therapy is limited.

Because proton therapy has been commercially available only since 1991, long-term results from

research demonstrating the advantages of proton therapy over competing products and technology is

limited and subject to continuing studies. While proton therapy’s effectiveness is well understood,

currently there are a limited number of peer-reviewed publications regarding its efficacy. If future

studies or experience do not support the belief that proton therapy offers an improved treatment

modality for a wide variety of cancers, use of this therapy could decline, slowing adoption by physicians

and negatively affecting third-party coverage and reimbursement. This risk is being mitigated by most

new proton treatment providers participating in clinical trials, and by the quantity of available trials

growing quickly.

• Forward looking financial information and projections provided in this offering document may not

be indicative of actual Center revenues and expenses. The financial information presented below is

Page 173: Public Finance Authority

42

based on assumptions relating to the future business of the Center. All are subject to significant

uncertainties based upon matters over which the Center will have limited control.

One complicating factor to note is that actual utilization may be lower than the number of patients

deemed appropriate for proton therapy. That is because each cancer treatment decision is based on

numerous factors related to patient’s status and the clinical decision-making of the patient’s

physicians. As a result, although it is expected that once fully operational the Center will treat an annual

average of about 1,350 patients, there remains a risk that Center utilization may be lower, and revenue

may be insufficient to meet operating expenses and debt service coverage.

Other examples of potential business risks include unanticipated increases in operating costs, fewer

patient referrals than expected and shifting regulatory requirements. To the extent that actual

operating results are not consistent with the assumptions upon which the financial projections are

based, the Center’s financial results and benefits to investors may be adversely affected.

6. BUSINESS STRATEGY

The Center aims to be a regionally and nationally recognized, premiere provider of proton therapy services.

To achieve this goal, the business strategy intends to align around several fundamentals:

• Provide superior cancer therapy treatment and clinical capabilities. Proton therapy is associated with

several characteristics that make it an attractive alternative to surgery and conventional photon based

radiotherapy. Covered at length elsewhere in this report, proton therapy allows for highly precise

doses of radiation to be administered during a course of treatment. This provides the potential for

better local tumor control, fewer side effects and less damage to areas proximal to the tumor all the

while shortening patient treatment time and improving quality of life while decreasing time away from

work or school. In addition, the Center will be outfitted with the latest proton therapy equipment—

intensity-modulated pencil beam scanning—which suggests that the Center not only provides a

superior cancer treatment, but a superior proton therapy treatment.

• Capitalize on strong strategic affiliations. MPTC has relationships with the UMMS network of 13

community-based hospitals and six radiation oncology facilities (Exhibit 11) as well as affiliations with

major regional providers of radiation oncology. Each community practice within the UMMS network

Page 174: Public Finance Authority

43

includes providers credentialed to practice at the Center. Based on the partnerships established to

date, MPTC plans to increase the number of affiliates from four to up to ten between 2017 and 2021.

Exhibit 11: UM Medical System Facilities as of 2017

Page 175: Public Finance Authority

44

In addition, the University of Maryland Department of Radiation Oncology (UM RadOnc) plans to open

the Prince George’s Regional Medical Center in 2019. With this new location for UM RadOnc patients

and physicians, the Center expects to see an increase in UM RadOnc’s patient population, especially

from the Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia population.

Regarding physician referrals, to date patients were referred to the Center by more than 435 unique

doctors coming from three main sources: 1) UMROA; 2) Community centers in the Exhibit above that

are MPTC Affiliates; and 3) Other referring practitioners who do not have formal affiliation agreements

with the Center.40 Approximately 388 of those physicians have referred two or fewer patients each.

The Center’s marketing strategy calls for continuing to educate these referring physicians so they know

which patients to refer for proton therapy and how to easily refer them through UMMS programs. The

goal over the next four years is to expand referrals per physician from approximately 1.5 to an average

of four patients a year.

Having a strong, established and public relationship with a respected and well-regarded system will be

of importance to patients choosing their treatment facility, as access to top notch clinicians and being

part of the most comprehensive healthcare system in the state are important considerations.

• Leverage the full capabilities of the Center: Even under the conservative assumption that the Center’s

patients will come primarily from the state of Maryland the number of patients potentially eligible for

proton therapy outstrips the Center’s estimated annual capacity under all planning assumptions

modeled. The Center’s size, state of the art design features, latest vendor equipment and software and

referral network, allow for a potentially highly efficient operation able to maximize patient throughput

and capacity during its hours of operations.

• Raise awareness of proton therapy treatment: Although proton therapy is no longer new, it is not as

widely known as its close counterpart, conventional photon radiation therapy. Therefore, the Center

implemented an aggressive marketing plan to generate awareness and promote the benefits of proton

therapy to key stakeholders, including doctors, payers and patients to generate consultations by

eligible patients who would benefit the most from the treatment. In addition to focusing on

40 Source: MPTC management

45

development of regional physician referral streams, the Center also is developing an international

program in parallel with its domestic efforts. International patients have already been treated at the

Center and efforts are underway to establish referral patterns for patients from the Middle East and

additional countries (e.g., Canada, Norway, Poland and China).

7. PROTON TREATMENT CENTER FACILITY ASSESSMENT

The Maryland Proton Treatment Center in Baltimore is a 110,000-square-foot, purpose-built building, with

40,000 square feet of radiation shielded space. A licensed, freestanding facility, MPTC’s design and

equipment are state-of-the-art. The Center features a 5-treatment room configuration, including 4

rotational gantries, 1 fixed beam room, a full diagnostic suite with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),

computer tomography (CT), physician offices as well as research and development space for clinical

research. All treatment rooms are equipped with the Varian ProBeam® System, including the latest Pencil

Beam Scanning, Intensity Modulated Proton Therapy and volumetric Image Guided Radiation technology.

The Center broke ground in April 2012, and opened its doors to its first patient treatments in February

2016, with the capacity to administer approximately 45,000 proton treatments per year, which translates

to an estimated 1,500 patients a year.

MPTC’s clinical leadership team is world-class, and includes several proton therapy experts who altogether

have over 20 years of proton experience. Led by Dr. William Regine, the Center is currently staffed by

approximately 118 professionals including radiation oncologists, medical physicists, dosimetrists, radiation

therapists, medical support and administrative staff as summarized in the staffing model depicted below.

Geographic Location

The Center is located at 850 W Baltimore Street, Baltimore MD, in the heart of the University of Maryland’s

BioPark. BioPark is a hub for biomedical research, and is adjacent to the University of Maryland’s Baltimore

campus, as well as the University of Maryland’s School of Medicine and nearby UMMC, which houses the

UM Cancer Center (UMCC). The School of Medicine is noted as among the most prestigious medical schools

in the nation. Given the Center’s close proximity to the campus, as well as its presence in BioPark, it enjoys

the advantages of strong relationships and support from a nationally ranked academic institution as well

Page 177: Public Finance Authority

46

as opportunity to further cancer research, as UMCC is a top 10 oncology department nationally for research

grants and is easily accessible.41

Baltimore and the surrounding area around Washington, D.C. is densely populated, with over 9.6 million

people living in the area.42 According to statistics from the 2010 – 2014 period, the cancer incidence rate

for the combined area is high –areas such as DC and West Virginia were, respectively, the 8th and 12th

highest in the nation (477.0/100,000, 468.8/100,000).43 As MPTC is located within this densely populated

area with high cancer incidence rates, patients requiring proton therapy should benefit from its favorable

location.

Facility Description

MPTC is a free-standing structure located on the north side of the 800 block, between West Baltimore

Street and West Lafayette Street. During construction, a new entrance drive was opened off West

Baltimore Street and leads to the covered drop off area in front of the Center’s entrance. Upon entering,

the patients arrive in the lobby, where the check in area as well as the concierge desk is located. The

concierge team provides a range of free services for the patients, including free valet parking, making

lodging arrangements, securing transportation and assisting with appointment coordination, for both

domestic and international patients. Dedicated to ensuring a positive experience for the patient, the

concierge team pays special attention to the Center’s pediatric patients. Adjacent to the check in area are

a few administrative areas, such as a scheduling room and a staff room/lounge. The first floor also includes

the bulk of the Center’s service and maintenance areas (Exhibit 13).

Exhibit 13: MPTC 1st floor layout

Page 179: Public Finance Authority

48

The second-floor houses patient preparation rooms, waiting and changing rooms, with a dedicated

pediatric waiting suite, and is where the administration of proton therapy treatment occurs. MPTC’s 4

rotational gantries and 1 fixed beam room are located on this level. The floor also includes the cyclotron,

the dosimetry rooms, as well as the facility’s research area and staff offices (Exhibit 14). Before treatment

begins, MPTC staff work with each patient to create individual treatment plans and assessments, making

use of the advanced imaging techniques at the Center. Before each treatment, patients are immobilized

and then examined using a volumetric CT scan in the treatment room to ensure precision in the delivery of

radiation.

Exhibit 14: MPTC 2nd floor layout

On the third floor of the facility are multiple patient exam rooms, imaging rooms, a patient waiting area

and staff office space. Most of the initial treatment planning and imaging before a treatment course begins

occurs on this floor.

Proton System and Other Equipment

The ProBeam® system

MPTC’s treatment rooms are equipped with technology from Varian, a key partner of the Center

responsible for the installation and maintenance of the equipment. Each treatment room contains the

proprietary ProBeam® proton system.44 The fully integrated system can be used to deliver various types of

proton treatment, including image-guided proton therapy (IGPT) and intensity modulated proton therapy

(IMPT).

Additionally, the Probeam® system makes use of Dynamic PeakTM integrated technology to facilitate IMPT.

The system also delivers the most sophisticated proton therapy currently available—intensity modulated

proton therapy delivered by pencil beam scanning. IMPT “paints” radiation on treatment sites layer by

layer; conforming to the tumor’s shape and minimizing the radiation dose neighboring healthy tissues

receive. This innovation enhances the already considerable precision of pencil beam technology, resulting

in greater radiation dosages delivered directly to the disease site, both shortening daily treatment time

and decreasing treatment side effects. This technology is particularly effective in treating complex tumors

in children, leaving the normal tissues and organs adjacent to the treatment site unharmed.

The ProBeam® system includes the following components:

• Superconducting Cyclotron and Energy Selection System: The 250 MeV Isochronous Superconducting

Cyclotron uses powerful magnetic and electrical fields of alternating polarity to create an accelerated

beam of protons. The life span of the cyclotron is tied to the life span of the facility-if one needs to be

replaced, then so does the other.

o 250 MeV proton therapy energies allow for dose delivery to deep- seated tumors

o Continuous and stable proton beam allows for increased dose delivery rates and precise beam

control

o High beam extraction rate achieves excellent reliability by maximizing availability and

facilitating preventive maintenance

44 https://www.varian.com/oncology/products/treatment-delivery/dynamic-peak-scanning

Page 183: Public Finance Authority

52

• The energy selection system (ESS) adjusts the proton's beam energy to control its penetration depth.

The amount of delivered radiation as prescribed in the treatment plan is determined by the duration

of the beam and its intensity. The components of the system are anticipated to last as long as the

facility

• RF Amplifier: The radio frequency amplifier will likely require upgrades at some point in the future.

Estimated costs are included in the maintenance capital expenditure forecast

• Therapy Safety and Control System

• Dosimetry equipment for five room proton therapy configurations

• Beam Transport System: The beam transport system consists of a series of bending and focusing

magnets, as well as diagnostic measurement tools, used to transport the proton beam from the

cyclotron to the desired treatment room. Its lifetime is anticipated to be similar to the facility lifetime

The Center’s four gantries each contain a rotational gantry that is the patient-facing structure that houses

the Dynamic PeakTM integrated scanning technology. The structure of the gantry is meant to have a long

useful life, as to replace the gantry would require complete redesign of the room and significant downtime.

Each gantry includes:

• A 360-degree Rotating Isocentric Gantry with Rolling Floor

• ProBeam Treatment Nozzle with Dynamic Peak™ integrated scanning technology that incorporates proprietary pencil-beam scanning technology

• A 6 degree of freedom robotic Patient Positioning System (X, Y, Z, Rotation, 15° Pitch & Roll)

• Patient alignment and verification system equipped with: Lasers, Light field (beam eye view)

• X-ray orthogonal imaging system equipped

• X-ray tubes and power supply

• Amorphous silicon imaging panels: Over time, the panels are expected to require repair or replacement. Cost estimates are included in the major maintenance capital expenditure forecast

• Software needed to automatically define correct patient position

MPTC’s fixed beam room includes the following:

• ProBeam Treatment Nozzle with Dynamic Peak™ integrated scanning technology that incorporates proprietary pencil-beam scanning technology

• A 6 degree of freedom robotic Patient Positioning System (X, Y, Z, Rotation, 15° Pitch & Roll)

• Patient alignment and verification system equipped with: Lasers, Light field (beam eye view)

Page 184: Public Finance Authority

53

• X-ray orthogonal imaging system equipped

• X-ray tubes and power supply

• Amorphous silicon imaging panels

To run the ProBeam system, System Control Software for the proton therapy equipment and supporting

hardware is necessary, along with ARIA and Eclipse software for the clinical users.

Other Center Equipment

In addition to the proton beam technology/equipment described above, the Center includes imaging

equipment (CT and MRI). This equipment provides diagnosis confirmation, including confirmation of the

size, shape and location of patients' tumors and supports treatment planning activities at the Center. Re-

confirmation of tumor size, shape and location is required periodically throughout the course of treatment

as proton therapy reduces tumor size and shape.

In December 2017, MPTC purchased a MegaWatt UPS unit for about $812,000 from Quality Power

Solutions. The unit protects the center’s Varian equipment from issues related to poor utility power and

voltage fluctuations.

Center Staffing

The staffing mix includes clinicians (e.g., physicians, physicists, dosimetrists, nurses, therapists, research

staff, administrative and support staff). MPTC anticipates that the center will run at steady state by 2033

and Exhibit 17 presents an FTE comparison between June 2018 and 2033. Overall, the staff at MPTC is

expected to increase to about 169.5 FTEs by 2033, a level close to the expected 159.5 FTE staffing forecast

by the Emory Proton Treatment Center, a center of similar capacity and layout.

Overview of Center Patient Throughput

Exhibit 18 summarizes the flow of patients through the treatment center, based on a typical treatment

plan. Moving through three rooms, patients usually gather in a waiting room before undergoing an imaging

process in the imaging room to ensure the precision and accuracy of the dose that is to be delivered in the

third and last room, the gantry. During the imaging step (step 2), the patient’s immobilization devices are

placed onto the transporter, followed by the patient. The patient is then positioned by a therapist into

their immobilization devices after which the cart is moved into the treatment room. During treatment, the

cyclotron delivers protons to a single treatment room at any point in time. Switching delivery of protons

from one gantry room to another incurs a delay of about 45 seconds. One to three beam angles are usually

necessary for each treatment fraction, and the gantry must be rotated between each angle – a process

that takes up to 90 seconds. Treating a beam angle then takes up to 75 seconds. 45

Exhibit 18: Overview of MPTC Patient flow

Researchers at the University of Maryland conducted a simulation study to estimate steady-state patient

throughput, based on MPTC. The study randomly assigned patients to receive one, two or three beams,

and although MPTC had 4 gantries in operation at the time, the simulation included scenarios of having up

to 5 gantries in operation.46 Exhibit 19 presents the findings based on 100 days of simulated operation in a

mature version of MPTC, taking into account six combinations of arrival rates, operating gantry rooms (4 –

5) and imaging room availability.

Researchers concluded that in a scenario with 4 gantries and 5 imaging rooms in operation, decreasing the

arrival rate of patients from 12 per hour to approximately 11 reduced the total time spent per patient by

55% (7.38 minutes to 3.28 minutes). The scenario of 5 operating gantry rooms and imaging room had a

longer total time spent per patient (5.73 minutes) but the highest numbers of patients treated per day.

The study illustrated that efficiency in treatment room use directly determines the number of patients the

Center can treat. While useful, the results from the study are gleaned from simulation, and MPTC has now

been in operation for almost two years, and therefore real-world data is increasingly available.

Exhibit 20 presents the timeline of when rooms transitioned from handover by Varian to the treatment of

the first patients. For gantries 1 – 4, treatment of the first patients began 2 – 4 months after handover was

complete. The Center had one gantry operational by February 2016, two gantries by May 2016, three

gantries by July 2016 and all four operational within one year after the first patients were treated. Although

commissioned in March 2018, Center management plans to use fixed beam treatment room 5 in January

2019. At that point, all five treatment rooms will be fully operational.

The predictability and speed of patient throughput can also be influenced by factors other than technology,

such as rates of patient no show/lateness, the unique clinical challenges of each patient, and staff

efficiency:

• Patient tardiness and absenteeism have traditionally been a concern for outpatient providers. 48

However, we expect patient absenteeism rates at the Center to be lower than most other outpatient

48 Nan Liu, Serhan Ziya, Vidyadhar G. Kulkarni, Dynamic Scheduling of Outpatient Appointments Under Patient No-Shows and Cancellations, Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, v.12 n.2, p.347-364, Spring 2010

Page 194: Public Finance Authority

63

settings due to cancer patients’ high commitment to their treatment protocol, the travel-related costs

incurred by lengthening treatment courses and more tolerable side effects associated with proton

treatment when compared to other cancer treatment modalities.

• The size, shape, and location of a tumor will vary between patients, and between different points in

time over the course of treatment for the same patient. Age and other patient comorbidities will also

influence treatment protocols.

For instance, pediatric patients may need to be sedated before going into the gantry room, which, on

average, may make pediatric cases more complicated and time consuming than adult cases. As a result,

each patient visit will require different durations and resources, making scheduling precise patient

arrival and departure times an operational necessity. All treatment tasks will be carried out by teams

of physicians, physicists, dosimetrists, therapists, nurses, and other staff. The efficiency of everyone as

well as team cohesion and communication will influence patient turnaround time.

Benchmark Comparison of Ramp up Performance

To further assess the early performance of the Center, MPTC’s patient ramp up speed was compared to

the performance of eight other proton therapy centers over their first 18 months of operations (Exhibit

24). Initially, MPTC’s ramp up speed measured in average numbers of treatments per day was comparable

to these peer centers. However, by month 18 treatments per day delivered by the Center surpassed all but

The University of Florida Proton Treatment Center.

65

Exhibit 24: MPTC Ramp-up Performance vs. Other Proton Centers – Initial 18 Months

Conclusion

The Center is strategically located in downtown Baltimore close to UMMC and several other affiliates,

thereby enabling the delivery of all forms of oncology care within walking distance. With the latest

ProBeam® proton treatment technology and approximately 150 FTE clinical staff, the Center’s annual

targeted treatment volume is expected to be about 1,350 patients once fully operational at a steady state.

Patient volume is primarily driven by the minutes per fraction and the number of clinical operating hours

per room per day. Data to date provided by MPTC management shows steady improvement in efficiency

evidenced by the decrease in average minutes per fraction and the current upward trend of treatments

per day/month with four rooms in operation. It is anticipated that once the fifth room becomes fully

operational, a further increase in efficiency and volume will be seen.

8. ASSESSMENT OF MPTC SERVICE DEMAND

In this section, the MPTC service area is defined, Center patient capacity estimates during the ramp-up

years are reviewed, and estimates of patient demand are presented under three sets of methods and

assumptions. In this discussion, it is important to emphasize that other factors reviewed elsewhere in this

study can affect the number of patients treated. The objective of this section is to empirically assess, based

on research, estimates, and assumptions available at this time, the estimated size of the pool of patients

to which MPTC potentially has access.

Expected MPTC Service Area

For the purposes of this report, the MPTC service area has been defined using patient origin information

current as of August 2017. The Center’s primary and secondary service areas for the purposes of this study

are defined as follows:

• The primary service area (PSA) is defined as the counties with the shortest driving distance to the

Center, from which the first 75% of all MPTC patients as of August 2017 originate

• The secondary service area (SSA) is defined as the counties with the shortest driving distance to

the Center, which are not included in the PSA, from which the next 15% of patients originate50

This definition of the service area incorporates both geographic proximity to the Center and current patient

origin information for the geography currently served, but attributes a higher weight to counties closer to

the Center. An alternate service area definition might have favored defining patient origin solely by county

until 90% of total patient origin is reached (PSA=75%, SSA=15%) irrespective of the distance from MPTC.

This approach, however, has disadvantages, including: (1) MPTC has a limited operating history and is not

yet operating at levels close to full Center capacity, so the current patient origin distribution may be

affected by issues related to small sample size; and (2) Other centers will be opening in the region in the

50 If the above criteria result in any counties which do not border another county in the service area, this county is removed from the definition of the service area. If a county is surrounded by other counties in the service area, this county will be included in the definition of the service area. These situations may arise due to the relatively small sample size of past and current MPTC patients.

Page 198: Public Finance Authority

67

future, which may influence future MPTC market share in counties farther from the Center. Thus, we favor

the approach which assigns greater weight to counties closer to MPTC.

The primary and secondary service areas for MPTC include the counties and county equivalents as

summarized in Exhibit 25 and account for 90% of MPTC’s patients to date. The remaining 10% of patients

have come from other locations, including states outside the Mid-Atlantic region and international

locations. A map illustrating MPTC primary and secondary service areas is depicted in Exhibit 26 below.

*MPTC had no current or past patients from these counties or county equivalents as of August 2017, but they have been added to the service area since they are surrounded by other counties in the MPTC service area which suggests future patients will likely originate in these counties as Center marketing activities and patient volume grow.

Exhibit 26: County-Level Distribution of MPTC Primary and Secondary Service Areas

MPTC Demand Projections

Patient demand for MPTC services is presented using several different approaches, each following different

methodologies and compared to future expected Center capacity. These approaches include: (1) A state of

Maryland needs analysis; (2) A “Top-Down” calculation of patient demand in which the number of patients

potentially eligible for proton therapy is calculated based on population characteristics at varying radii from

MPTC; (3) A “Bottom-Up” analysis developed by MPTC Staff, which estimates the number of patient

referrals coming from MPTC affiliate partners and other sources based on clinical practice guidelines; and

(4) A treatment site-level analysis which aggregates cancer incidence rates by treatment site in nearby

counties and projects future demand by disease site based on population growth and aging.

The Center expects to continue improving its operational efficiency and increase expected patient

throughput over the next 15+ years. Center management developed projected estimates of patient volume

(Exhibit 27). By 2032, Center targeted treatment volume is expected to be about 1,350 patients.51 At

steady-state, annual patient volume and projected throughput may vary slightly from year to year based

on the projected number of days of Center operation in each year.

undergone at least one session of proton therapy (e.g. CPT codes 77522, 77523, 77525, 77373).

State of Maryland Needs Analysis

To develop an estimate of need for proton treatment in the Center’s immediate surrounding area, this

approach follows a three-step calculation, starting with the number of 2014 cancer cases reported in

Maryland. The second step applies an estimate of the rate in which cancer patients receive some form of

radiation treatment, and the third step applies an estimate of the proportion of radiation-eligible patients

who might be eligible for proton therapy.

The latest estimates of the percentage of cancer patients receiving some type of radiation treatment

sourced from the National Cancer Institute and the American Society for Radiation Oncology are 60% and

“nearly two-thirds” of patients, respectively.53,54 For the purposes of this analysis, we adopt the slightly

more conservative 60% rate of cancer patients receiving some form of radiation.

A 2005 study from Sweden estimated that about 14-15% of patients receiving radiation therapy are eligible

for proton therapy.55 The University of Maryland Radiation Oncology Associates estimates that the

proportion of radiation patients eligible for treatment with proton therapy is up to 33%. Past internal MPTC

estimates of the proportion of radiation patients eligible for proton therapy were in the 20-25% range,

which is in line with the 20% eligibility rate estimated by IBA.56 Based on Maryland-specific cancer incidence

estimates from the American Cancer Society, Exhibit 28 presents statewide estimates of 2016 proton

therapy eligibility with “14% proton eligibility” and “20% proton eligibility” representing the Swedish and

the more conservative set of MPTC staff assumptions, respectively.

Number of potential Maryland proton therapy cases (2016)* 17,947 x 14% = 2,512 17,947 x 20% = 3,589

Note: The number of potential Maryland proton therapy cases represents potential population demand within the state of Maryland and does not assume any MPTC capture rate for these patients.

This analysis suggests that roughly 2,512 to 3,589 Maryland patients were potential candidates for proton

therapy in 2016 based on the two sets of eligibility assumptions. These estimates more than cover the

Center’s anticipated annual targeted steady-state patient count of 1,350. Moreover, this analysis covers

only need originating within Maryland, and, as discussed below, the Center has and will continue to treat

out-of-state and international patients and plans to expand outreach to these groups. Further, these 2016

estimates will likely increase over time as the number of new cancer cases grows due largely to an aging

white population and a growing black population.62

“Top-Down” Service Demand Projections by Geographic Proximity to MPTC

The “top-down” analysis of area service demand assesses the number of cancer patients eligible for proton

therapy by geographic proximity to Baltimore. The calculation begins with estimates of the total population

within 50, 100, 150, and 200 mile radii from MPTC (Exhibit 29). Estimates of the 2016 population within

these radii come from a tool which aggregates the population of each county within a specified geographic

radius.63

While this analysis does not attribute a capture rate for the number of patients coming from each radius,

it is important to note that MPTC’s capture rate is likely to diminish as the distance from MPTC increases.

Thus, the number of patients within the radii closer to the Center (e.g. 50 miles and 100 miles) carry more

significance than those in the farther radii. Additionally, having a high-quality referral network is likely to

be a more significant driver of patient capture than patient proximity to the Center alone.

For example, Washington, D.C. and many of its suburbs are included in the 50-mile radius from MPTC.

Philadelphia, PA is captured within the 100-mile radius, Richmond, VA and most of New Jersey is captured

within the 150-mile radius, and New York City, most of the state of Pennsylvania (including Pittsburgh),

most of Virginia, and all of Maryland, Washington, D.C., Delaware, and New Jersey are captured within 200

miles of the Center. While these radii from MPTC cover a densely-populated region of the United States,

as discussed elsewhere, there are several Centers within these radii, currently operating and under

construction, with which MPTC potentially may compete.

To estimate the number of cancer cases within the radii, the National Cancer Institute’s 2010-2014 county-

level incidence rates for counties within each radius were aggregated to create an incidence rate specific

to the geographic radius.64 Incidence rates were then multiplied by the size of the population within the

radius, yielding the number of cancer cases in the area. Exhibit 30 shows the variation in weighted

incidence rates as distance from Baltimore increases. It is then assumed, following the NCI and ASTRO

standard, that 60% of these cases will be treated using radiation therapy.65 66 Estimated numbers of

Estimates of numbers of 2016 cancer patients in each radius were then projected into the future based on

county-specific projections of population growth for each county in each radius. These county-specific

projections were rolled into radius-average projected population growth based on each county’s share of the

total population in the radius. Exhibit 31 shows in percentage terms the expected growth in population size

for each radius relative to the 2016 population size.

Estimates of population growth alone are likely to yield conservative estimates of growth in cancer incidence,

as cancer disproportionately affects individuals in older age groups, and the proportion of the population in

those age cohorts is expected to continue to increase over time. Recent studies suggest that the number of

patients seeing radiation oncologists in the US will increase by 19% between 2015 and 2025 and demand for

haematology/oncology physicians will increase by about 23% during that period.67 68

For comparison, projections of annual increase in cancer cases based on population growth only within these

radii range between 0.5% and 0.7%. Projections of the number of patients potentially eligible for treatment

with proton therapy within each geographic radius from Baltimore are presented in Exhibit 32.

The top down projections of patient demand suggest that there are more patients potentially eligible for

proton treatment relative to the Center’s expected steady-state volume. under all combinations of

geographic radius, year, and proton eligibility rates. Under the more conservative 14% proton eligibility

assumption, the 50-mile radius from Baltimore contains 2,514 patients in 2016, an excess of 1,164

patients relative to the Center’s targeted steady-state patient count of 1,350 patients. By 2030, the

projected number of eligible patients within 50 miles will be about 2,750. Under the 20% proton eligibility

rate assumption, the number of projected proton-eligible patients within 50 miles from Baltimore in 2016

would be 3,592 patients, increasing to 3,928 by 2030. These projections represent population demand

and do not assume a specific MPTC capture rate.

“Bottom-Up” Demand Forecasting Approach

MPTC staff have recently developed a Marketing Plan that includes projections of the Center’s patient

volumes by referral channel and marketing strategy to 2021.69 Referral channels include MPTC affiliates,

sources within the University of Maryland network, international sources, and non-University of Maryland

sources. Marketing strategies considered include physician liaisons, MPTC physicians, digital marketing,

alumni physicians, alumni patients, press releases, and direct to consumer marketing.

MPTC expects that deploying physician liaisons will be the strategy yielding the most patient candidate

referrals, with 762 patients expected in 2021, followed by MPTC physicians who are expected to provide

the center with 341 candidates during that year (Exhibit 33).70 Two hundred and sixty-two candidates are

expected from digital marketing activities in 2021, 118 are expected to come from alumni physicians, and

89 are expected to come from alumni patients.

Projected patient volumes are based on certain assumptions, including: 1) physician liaison patient counts

are scheduled to increase over time; 2) no employee turnover; and 3) liaisons become increasingly familiar

with their territories over time. In addition, MPTC physician patient counts are expected to increase based

on MPTC physicians continued outreach to their peers to expand their comfort and broaden their

knowledge with proton therapy to increase yearly average numbers of referrals. Alumni physicians who

completed a residency or fellow-ship at UM Department of Radiation Oncology are assumed likely to

continue referring patients to MPTC. Similarly, alumni patients may spread the value of proton treatment

Page 211: Public Finance Authority

to others in their community. Finally, digital marketing, mass media, and press releases are expected to

have a cumulative impact which will lead to inbound inquiries and patients.

Projected IHS County-Level Demand Estimates for Select Cancer Sites

Using county-level estimates of cancer incidence by treatment site, IHS developed treatment site-level

estimates of potential demand in the Center’s primary and secondary service areas. This approach

projects demand to 2030 for most sites that the Center expects to initially treat. The most common

cancers to be treated include prostate, left-sided breast cancer, skull base tumors, brain tumors,

sarcomas, para-spinal tumors, head and neck cancer, pediatric cancer, and re-treatment cases. In time,

the expectation is that these will be expanded to include upper GI tumors, non-prostate pelvic

malignancies, lymphomas, and lung cancer.

Estimates of incidence by treatment site were obtained from the National Cancer Institute, which

produces county-level 2010-2014 average incidence estimates. 71 These estimates were obtained for

counties in the Center’s primary and secondary service areas, for age groups above and below 65, and

were then projected into the future based on projected county-level population growth and aging of the

population cohorts above and below 65. Incidence rates for the age 0-14 population were used to define

pediatric cancers, and population growth for the 0-14 age group was used to project these rates into the

future.

Projections of population growth and aging relative to 2016 in the Center’s primary and secondary service

areas are presented in Exhibit 35 and Exhibit 36, respectively. By 2030, the primary service area population

size is expected to grow 10% relative to the 2016 population. Growth for the population age 65 and above

between 2016 and 2030 is expected to be 47%, while growth for the age 15-64 and under 15 populations

is expected to be 3% and 7%, respectively. The population in the secondary service area is expected to

grow by about 18% between 2016 and 2030, with the 65 and older population growing by 62%, the

population age 15-64 growing 9%, and the under 15 population growing by 17% over this period.

Exhibit 37 Presents MPTC’s distribution of patients by age cohort as of the end of 2017. Over half (56%)

of patients were age 60 and above, while children below age 20 represented only about 7% of the patient

population. If this age distribution holds constant in the future along with other variables (e.g., cancer

incidence rates, radiation therapy and proton treatment rates, etc.), the Center will likely have a growing

patient pool due to high projected service area population growth for older age groups.

Literature on percentages of patients eligible for proton therapy by treatment site is scarce, so this

analysis makes no attempt to convert the number of radiation cases to the number of potential proton

therapy cases. It should be noted, however, that these treatment sites represent a sample of sites for

which proton treatment has been shown to have higher efficacy, so one may expect proton eligibility rates

for these treatment sites to be higher than the 14-20% range across all cancer cases referenced earlier in

this section. The primary and secondary service areas referenced in the table are defined in the previous

section entitled “Expected MPTC Service Area.”

*Total represents sums across treatment sites presented in the table, which is not an exhaustive list of cancer types. ** Assumes that 31% of pediatric patients will receive radiation and 60% of non-pediatric patients will receive radiation.

In 2016, there were an estimated 14,437 radiation cases between both the primary and secondary service

areas with 9,101 coming from the PSA and 5,336 coming from the SSA. By 2030, the total number of

radiation cases is expected to grow more than 30 percent to 18,887, with 11,470 coming from the PSA

Page 216: Public Finance Authority

85

and 7,417 coming from the SSA. Breast, prostate, and lung & bronchus cancers are the sites with the

highest incidence within this service area, with 6,337, 5,441, and 5,431 radiation cases, respectively,

projected in 2030. Pediatric cancers are expected to have the lowest projected incidence in the service

area, with 114 cases projected in 2030.

These projections apply only to patients from within the surrounding area and do not include patients

coming from outside of the immediate region or international locations. Additionally, these projections

include only cancer types that have been identified as being high-likelihood targets for proton therapy,

and may omit some cancer types that the center may potentially treat in the future.

Summary Assessment of MPTC Service Demand

The UMMC and affiliate network puts MPTC in a strong position to meet projected demand, especially if

the Center follows through on proposed marketing and operations strategies.

Demand for proton therapy within the Center’s service area currently exceeds capacity. In the future,

several new proton treatment facilities will open in the region, and may potentially compete with the

Center for patients. Despite this fact, the number of eligible patients within the MPTC service area is

projected to exceed the treatment capacity of the centers in the region, given the most recent data on

proton treatment efficacy and eligibility, and proposals for new centers in the surrounding area.

Review of alternative estimates of current and projected patient demand also suggest that Baltimore and

the surrounding region currently have sufficient demand for proton therapy services to meet projected

Center capacity regardless of which forecasting methodology is adopted. Demand also is expected to

increase over time due to the region’s growing and aging population and growing evidence about the

types of cases that would benefit from this specialized service.

9. MPTC FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The financial information below includes, to the best knowledge and belief of Center management, the

anticipated financial condition, results of operations, staffing and expense and revenue positions for the

forecast periods. The underlying assumptions are conservative and reasonable, but note that they are

Page 217: Public Finance Authority

86

subject to risks, uncertainties and judgments, many of which were referenced previously in the section

titled “Significant Risk Areas.”

Financial Projections

Exhibit 39 shows MPTC monthly average numbers of treatments per day compared to growth projections

developed by MPTC management, from January 2017 to June 2018. Between January and July 2017,

numbers of treatments per day by and large trended at levels close to MPTC management’s projections.

Between August and December 2017, actual numbers of treatments consistently fell below growth

projections. While for any given month average numbers of treatments per day may have fallen above or

below growth projections, in total the 2017 growth projections were about 11% above the actual

treatments per day.

Exhibit 39: Comparison of MPTC 2017 Average Treatments per Day vs. Projections

Exhibit 40 summarizes Forward Financial Information and projected Center operating performance for

annual periods ending December 31, 2018 through December 31, 2047. These include annual projected

patient volume, cash collections, operating expenses, net income, senior debt service, and senior debt

service coverage. Projected patient volume is based on annual volume of 1,350 patients at steady-state.

Also included in the exhibit is the patient volume at which the Center would break even in each year.

Based upon assumptions described below, excluding debt service the Center approached operating cash

flow break-even in 2017, and anticipates remaining positive past 2046, the final year of these projections.

Projected net income is anticipated to peak in 2033 at about $45.4 million, and during that year under the

projected financial performance of the Center is forecast to treat about 1,350 patients, collecting

Financial Assumptions

The summary of projected financial performance depicted above is based on assumptions and data inputs

pertaining to projected Center operations, including:

• Center ramp-up period

• Annual patient revenue estimates

• Annual estimates of operating expenses

• Annual principal and interest expense repayments

Center Ramp-Up Period

MPTC currently has four gantry rooms open and expects the final treatment room – a fixed beam room –

scheduled to begin treating patients in January 2019. In addition, MPTC management expects that Center

operations will continue to become more efficient as more patients are treated and staff become more

experienced. Currently, the Center takes roughly 28 minutes to provide one treatment on average, a rate

Page 222: Public Finance Authority

91

slightly faster than two treatments per hour, and management expects that this number will drop to 25

minutes per treatment by 2030.

Financial forecasts are conservative in estimates of treatments per hour, forecasting 30 minutes on

average per treatment each year until 2021, when the rate gradually begins to improve. In addition, MPTC

plans to increase the number of hours per day the treatment rooms are available. Currently, each gantry

is available for approximately 12 hours per day, and this figure is expected to gradually increase to 16

hours per day by 2023.

MPTC financial projections assume gantries are currently open for 12 hours per day and model the gradual

increase to 16 hours per day by 2023 as a conservative estimate to account for potential Center

inefficiencies in its first years of operation. The fixed beam room, once online, is expected to be available

for at least 8 hours per day. Exhibit 41 outlines MPTC’s ramp-up timeline as expressed in the MPTC

financial projections.

Projected Center Revenues

The Center generates revenue from several sources, including third-party and private payer

reimbursement for proton therapy services, delivery of ancillary services and patient co-payments. Exhibit

42 summarizes expected total Center annual net revenue, and net revenue per patient upon steady state

in 2033. Other revenue related factors described in this section include assumptions and projections

pertaining to payer mix, insurance coverage and reimbursement rates. Based on performance to date,

MPTC has collected a weighted average across treatment sites of about $2,250 per treatment fraction.

Average collections per treatment fraction range from about $1,750 for prostate cancer to about $2,600

for brain cancer.78

Collections by Payer and Treatment Mix Assumptions

The mix of MPTC collections by payer as of June 2018 is depicted in the Exhibit below. Commercial payers

account for about 64 percent of collections. Public payers including Medicare, Medicaid and Military

payers account for about an additional 29%. This payer mix forms the basis for the Center’s current level

Page 225: Public Finance Authority

94

of collections. This payer mix could potentially change if payers change reimbursement or coverage

policies for proton therapy treatments. However, small shifts in the mix are not likely to result in

significant changes to Center collections and revenue.

Exhibit 43: Distribution of MPTC Collections by Payer (as of June 2018)

MPTC management also does not anticipate material changes in payer mix across the individual treatment

sites summarized in the following exhibit.

Reimbursement and Coverage Assumptions and Projections

Third-party reimbursement rates and service coverage levels for proton therapy treatment vary between

public and private payers who make individual market determinations of what cancer types they will pay

to have treated with proton therapy. As described below, Medicare, through the local CMS fiscal

intermediary, as well as most commercial payers have established payment rates for proton therapy

treatment. Medicare has reimbursed for proton therapy treatment since 1991.

Exhibit 45 summarizes by treatment site estimated collections, numbers of patients and treatment

fractions and collections per fraction. These are based on the combination of expected payer mix,

Medicare free-standing facility payment rates, assumptions regarding expected managed care and self-

pay rates and estimated revenue from ancillary services and patient co-payments. Weighted average

collections per patient were about $64,500 as of June 2018, and ranged from about $34,000 for liver

cancer to about $81,000 for head and neck cancer.

Medicare Reimbursement

Medicare is anticipated to provide significant patient volume. Medicare covers treatments for most

localized tumor sites. MPTC is a free-standing facility and therefore not subject to the Medicare hospital

outpatient payment methodology. Instead, Novitas Solutions, the local Medicare intermediary for the

Mid-Atlantic region, sets the payment fee schedule and develops local coverage decisions on behalf of

CMS.

Page 228: Public Finance Authority

97

Current financial projections reflect the calendar year (CY) 2017 published fee schedule and assume

average Medicare revenue per treatment of approximately $1,100 and a projected average of about 30

fractions per treatment course. Novitas’ CY 2017 Medicare proton rates per treatment fraction are about

$1,224 for complex treatments, $1,084 for intermediate treatments, and about $944 for simple

treatments (Exhibit 46).79

The Center anticipates a patient treatment mix consisting of 88% intermediate, 10% simple and 2%

complex treatment fractions.80 While the final 2018 Medicare Part B payment rates for Maryland

freestanding facilities increased modestly compared to 2016 (1.0%), it is worth noting that intermediate

and complex treatments are paid at rates about 3% and 16% higher, respectively, than under the 2018

Medicare hospital-based fee schedule.81

Managed Care Payers and International Self-Pay Patients

As discussed above, projected pricing for proton therapy treatment for the next three years is expected

to be cost neutral to managed care payers under the Maryland all-payer system. Pricing is based upon the

average 2016 U.S. managed care net charge per fraction for Blue Cross/Blue Shield, AETNA, CIGNA and

United Healthcare.82

As of June 2018, there is a range of pricing based upon contracts with specific entities or pre-existing

relationships for the relatively small international self-pay patient market. Discounted pricing will be

maintained for those parties with pre-existing relationships who have referred patients to MPTC.83

Possible implications of decisions by several major commercial payers (e.g., UnitedHealth Care) in 2013

to no longer cover proton therapy nationally as a treatment option for prostate cancer have been followed

closely within the industry. While these coverage changes may not be favorable for proton therapy

providers whose patient mix includes a significant volume of this disease site, these changes likely will not

significantly impact MPTC. Prostate cancer is only expected to be about 20% of patient volume (Exhibit

45) and likely will continue to be covered by Medicare and other commercial payers who continue to

maintain favorable coverage policies. In addition, since incidence of prostate cancer is highest among the

nation’s rapidly growing elderly age cohorts, Medicare will likely remain a primary and growing payer in

the foreseeable future.

Operating Expenses

The Center projects incurring substantial ongoing operating costs. Operating costs consist primarily of

salaries, wages and benefits for physicians and other clinical and non-clinical staff, equipment and facility

maintenance, professional services, supplies, utilities, insurance and other general costs. Salaries, wages

and benefits represent the largest single component of operating costs.

82 Note: Pricing excludes anesthesia, chemotherapy and personal services. 83 Source: MPTC management internal memorandum.

Page 230: Public Finance Authority

99

Most expense assumptions are based on known and anticipated contractual commitments summarized

above, such as the UMROA Clinical Management and Professional Services Agreement, the Varian

Operations and Maintenance Agreements and the Siemens Equipment Lease Agreement.

Total operating costs are projected to grow from about $27.7 million in 2017 to about $51.4 million in

2033. 84 Under the current staffing model, it is estimated that University of Maryland direct labor expenses

will increase from about $16.5 million in 2017 to about $29.3 million in 2033 as the full complement of

treatment rooms are opened, staffing is ramped up, and treatment capacity expands.85 The MPTC direct

staffing expenses grow from about $1.8 million to $2.4 million over the same time period. By 2033 the

UM and MPTC direct compensation expenses are projected to represent about 60% of total operating

expenses.

Annual maintenance costs for proton and other related equipment is anecdotally quoted by industry

sources to be about 10-15% of the equipment cost.86 The Center estimates that the annual maintenance

cost for Varian proton and related medical equipment at full ramp up in 2033 will be about $8 million.87

Center management has embarked on an ambitious integrated marketing, communications and outreach

plan to build brand awareness and increase patient volumes. Incremental staffing and funding will be

required to support these efforts. Under current assumptions projected marketing costs will vary from

about $2.0 million to $2.7 million between 2017 and 2033.88 Marketing costs have the potential to

increase if the Center elects to pursue a more aggressive marketing strategy. Expense estimates also

currently assume that by 2019 the Center will be exempt from local property taxes.

Principal and Interest Expense

Maryland Proton Treatment Holdings, LLC intends to sell MPTC to the Public Finance Authority which

proposes to purchase the assets with the proceeds of approximately $278.6 million senior lien fixed rate

tax exempt bonds issued through a public offering. In addition, there will also be up to $90 million in

subordinate lien convertible capital appreciation bonds and approximately $6 million in junior

subordinate lien capital appreciation bonds raised. The Center assumes it will repay interest on its

indebtedness as it becomes due, and will commence repayment of senior principal on January 1, 2024.

Reserve and Replacement

Over time on-going capital maintenance and replacement will be required for both the building and

equipment. The MPTC capital expenditure forecast to 2021 is presented in Exhibit 47.89 In order to meet

anticipated capital expenses, annual set-asides ranging from about $3.0 - $4.0 million are forecast. These

consist largely of treatment planning software and hardware upgrades, advanced technology accessories

and Siemens MRI/CT lease and warranty costs.

Summary Assessment of Projected MPTC Financial Performance

The financial information and projections reviewed, including underlying assumptions and data inputs

pertaining to MPTC financial condition, results of operations, and expense and revenue positions appear

reasonable. As noted above, based on three separate studies there is a high probability that demand for

proton therapy services, a key driver of financial performance exceeds anticipated MPTC capacity both

currently and will do so in the foreseeable future. In addition, the Center is implementing an ambitious

marketing action plan to channel patient demand into increased use of the Center. These findings reduce

the probability of potential future revenue shortfalls associated with low utilization.

Notwithstanding decisions by several major payers to no longer cover proton therapy as a treatment

option for prostate cancer, this likely will not have a significant impact on total reimbursement available

to MPTC due to the diversity of its projected patient and payer mix. Similarly, although the projected

number of international self-pay patients is small there is potential for additional growth and the

anticipated price point should prove to be profitable for MPTC. Finally, management’s operating expense

assumptions, based largely on known and anticipated contractual commitments appear reasonable,

although benchmarking the Center’s financial model against other comparable proton therapy was

challenging as publicly available information was limited.

10. MPTC FEASIBILITY CONCLUSIONS

Change is a constant in oncology care. Further complicating future predictions is the position of the proton

therapy industry, and by extension MPTC, within a healthcare environment that prioritizes cost

containment yet increasingly views proton therapy as a natural extension of the current culture of

precision therapy that has developed over the last several decades.

A number of factors support industry growth. These include rising demand for this technology stemming

from a growing and rapidly aging population, growing evidence of clinical efficacy, generally adequate

public and private third-party reimbursement to support efficiently delivered care and rapid technological

advances making proton therapy centers more scalable and cost efficient. Potential future areas of

uncertainty include the competitive environment, potential long-term technology obsolescence and

shifting physician preference patterns.

Looking to the future, the evolution of proton therapy appears to be moving in a positive direction as

evidenced by the growing number of centers being planned and implemented. Well-designed centers

incorporating advanced technology and operating efficiencies that are affiliated with reliable patient

referral sources such as academic medical centers with strong oncology programs and affiliate networks

should be well positioned for sustainable growth.

This feasibility study considered the possible implications of changing external factors and dynamics

within the anticipated market to be served by MPTC as well as internal operating characteristics of the

Center. Examples of external factors assessed included implications of increasing service demand from a

growing and aging population, patient referral patterns, Center affiliations, third-party coverage and

payment policies and potential future competition. Internal operating characteristics examined included

patient case mix, financial performance, technology features, operating efficiency, and strategic

relationships.

Taking the totality of these factors into account, MPTC appears favorably positioned for future success

and sustainability. Although operating in a cost-adverse healthcare landscape, this well-designed center

incorporates advanced technology features and operating efficiencies. Equally important for long-term

sustainability is its affiliation with the University of Maryland and affiliates through agreements that

provide patients, staffing and treatment guidelines. As discussed above, this affiliation positions MPTC to

benefit from a robust and reliable patient referral source and nationally recognized oncology program.

Summary Assessment of Factors Influencing Feasibility

This assessment of overall MPTC feasibility weighed numerous factors. The Exhibit below summarizes

factors we believe are relevant to the future success of the Center, and the extent to which each

contributes to an outlook that appears favorable, unfavorable, or unclear.

Page 235: Public Finance Authority

104

Exhibit 48: Summary of Key Factors Influencing MPTC Feasibility Outlook

Key Factor Outlook Comments

Population demand for proton therapy

Favorable More than adequate projected demand in the Center’s service area to fill future capacity due to population growth and aging.

Proton center case mix Favorable Center projected case mix is well diversified across cancer sites and should be sustainable.

Overall financial viability Favorable Projected revenue growth plus operating efficiencies and lower financing costs should positively impact financial health.

Reimbursement environment

Unclear Current reimbursement levels by commercial payers are generous compared to other Maryland payers and states. However, Medicare payment levels are well below those of other payers. This is a potential risk if the Medicare payer mix continues to increase while the more richly reimbursed commercial payer mix continues to decline. Conversely, although the future payment environment is unpredictable, Maryland’s all-payer system has successfully surpassed CMS Medicare savings targets, and renewal is viewed favorably by CMS.

Capital cost structure Favorable Lower financing costs through recapitalization should improve cash flow and liquidity.

Future efficacy of proton treatment

Favorable Growing uptake and evidence of clinical efficacy, with data increasingly suggesting the treatment is appropriate and effective for many cancer types.

Strength of the UMMS affiliation

Favorable The UMMS affiliation is among the most important future success factors as a primary patient referral source. Being associated with the UMMS brand allows MPTC to capitalize on the system’s strong regional market presence and complement UM’s already strong oncology service offerings.

Strength of other strategic partnerships

Favorable Strategic partners, including non-UMMS affiliates, Varian, Siemens and others have deep experience and expertise with Proton center technology, design, construction, and development.

Ability of facility layout and technology to optimize patient throughput

Favorable Size, optimal design of treatment rooms, efficient facility layout and advanced technology features facilitate shorter treatment times, more rapid throughput and potential future economies of scale.

Page 236: Public Finance Authority

105

Key Factor Outlook Comments

Facility staffing model Favorable Ability to attract and retain sufficient numbers of highly

specialized staff is strengthened under affiliation with UMROA and other UMMS affiliated entities.

Technology obsolescence and physician preferences

Unclear Although current proton technology has a projected useful life of 25-30 years, future sustainability may be complicated by events that cannot currently be forecast, such as shifts in technology and physician care delivery preferences.

Potential competition

Favorable MPTC is the largest treatment center in the region and affiliation with UMMS and other entities should strengthen its market position. Future Sibley impacts are unclear but likely limited due to capacity constraints and a Johns Hopkins system oriented referral network. Maryland as a CON state also presents barriers to entry for potential competitors. In addition, any new technologies, e.g., carbon, will be subject to years of clinical research and scrutiny by payers, clinicians and regulators.

Unanticipated negative economic conditions

Unclear Like all ventures MPTC will be subject to systemic risk, including fluctuating local, national, and global economic conditions and events.

In addition to the success factors summarized above, MPTC also is producing a positive economic impact

on the greater region in terms of generating jobs, income, business and consumer spending, and tax

revenues. From a consumer perspective, it also helps address a geographic barrier to care. The Center’s

location alleviates the need for Maryland and District of Columbia residents to out-migrate for care to

other states. Given that a typical proton therapy treatment course necessitates 22-38 sessions over the

course of a number of weeks, an extended out of town stay may have significant financial, logistic and

time considerations for patients.

11. STUDY LIMITATIONS

To a significant extent study limitations stem from a paucity of reliable information on how the future

proton therapy market generally and MPTC specifically might change in response to evolving market

factors and influence. Many of the data inputs and assumptions used to develop this feasibility study were

based on future business assumptions subject to uncertainties. Examples include introduction of new and

Page 237: Public Finance Authority

106

competing technologies, trends in MPTC service demand and reimbursement and the effects of future

economic conditions.

Another study limiting factor is a shortage of publicly available performance indicators from comparable

large U.S. proton therapy treatment centers against which to benchmark MPTC operating characteristics

and performance (e.g., average minutes per treatment fraction, percentage of time proton therapy

equipment is available for patient treatment, staffing models). However, it is worth noting that although

benchmarking may unearth useful information, due to the unique characteristics of the different markets

within which proton therapy centers operate, predicting the long-term performance of MPTC based on

the performance of similar centers is challenging.

12. IHS OVERVIEW AND RELEVANT EXPERIENCE

IHS Global, Inc. (IHS) was founded in 1959 and became a publicly traded company on the New York Stock

Exchange in 2005. In July 2016, IHS Inc. and Markit Ltd. merged to form IHS Markit Ltd. (NASDAQ: INFO),

a world leader in critical information, analytics and solutions for major industries and markets that drive

economies worldwide. The company delivers next-generation information, analytics and solutions to

customers in business, finance and government, improving their operational efficiency and providing deep

insights that lead to well-informed decisions.

IHS team members have extensive experience conducting feasibility studies on behalf of proton treatment

centers, healthcare systems and other health care and life sciences organizations. In addition to the

current study other recent examples include the following:

• For the Emory Proton Treatment Center in Atlanta, Georgia, IHS developed a comprehensive

feasibility study assessing the pros and cons of financing development of the first proton therapy

treatment center in the metropolitan Atlanta area. The feasibility study captured and assessed

key future considerations in the industry as well as those specific to the proton treatment center

and local market.

• For a regional for-profit healthcare system, IHS assessed the feasibility of acquiring a hospital in

Minot, North Dakota. This study considered factors influencing future local population service

demand through 2025. These included demographic shifts and projected effects of alternative

shale oil prices on temporary and permanent local employment and hospital use by product line.

Page 238: Public Finance Authority

107

Based on projected low shale oil prices and resulting flat employment and service demand, IHS

recommended extreme caution in finalizing the hospital acquisition.

• For a healthcare system in eastern Alabama, IHS developed hospital service demand forecasts

projecting numbers of staffed beds by product line through 2025 under alternative scenarios to

assess the feasibility of establishing a new medical center. Forecasts reflected changing market

share, inpatient occupancy rates, seasonality, and local population demographic characteristics.

IHS feasibility study findings validated conclusions of earlier system planning efforts regarding the

probable success of a new medical center in that local market.

• For the San Francisco Department of Public Health and Controller’s Office, assessed San

Francisco’s current healthcare market and benchmarked San Francisco General Hospital’s (the

General) efficiency and effectiveness against other comparable local, regional and national safety-

net providers to help assess its ability to provide quality healthcare to San Franciscans as the City

implements the Healthy San Francisco initiative and plans the rebuild of the General. The

assessment found that despite an aging physical plant the General has high staff productivity and

is financially effective compared to most benchmark hospitals.

IHS has also conducted due diligence for several medical device and pharmaceutical companies to assist

go/no-go decisions at development milestones. Our assessments involved comparing the value

proposition of the new health technology versus an existing treatment that is less expensive, and reaching

conclusions about its pricing and reimbursement outlook in the competitive environment. Our research

analyzed the commercial potential of the new technology from multiple angles, such as target market

size, pricing forecast, reimbursement potential, and patients’ ability to pay.

subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Emphasis of Matter - Restatement

As described in Note 2, the consolidated financial statements for prior years have been restated to reflect the correct accounting treatment as it relates to debt financing costs, revenue share arrangements, debt modifications and extinguishments, the capitalization of interest, treatment of imputed interest, and incorrect recognition of certain prior period expenses. Our opinion on the 2017 and 2016 consolidated financial statements is not modified with respect to this matter.

Emphasis of Matter - Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and lacks the funding necessary to service outstanding debt requirements and fund normal operations for the foreseeable future, raising substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Other Matter

The 2015 consolidated financial statements of Maryland Proton Treatment Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries before the restatement for the matters described in the Emphasis of Matter - Restatement paragraph above, were audited by other auditors, whose report dated July 27, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

As part of our audits of the 2017 and 2016 consolidated financial statements, we also audited the adjustments described in Note 2 that were applied to restate prior years’ consolidated financial statements through accumulated deficit. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. We were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the prior years’ consolidated financial statements of Maryland Proton Treatment Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries other than with respect to the adjustments and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on any such consolidated financial statements as a whole.

1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of business

Maryland Proton Treatment Holdings, LLC (“MPTH”) was formed in January 2010 and is registered as a limited liability company under the laws of the state of Delaware. MPTH’s purpose is to design, finance, construct and manage a licensed, freestanding healthcare center (“the Center”) in Baltimore, Maryland, providing proton radiation therapy services for patients with cancerous solid tumors.

MPTH’s wholly owned subsidiary, Maryland Proton Treatment Center, LLC (“MPTC”), was formed in 2011 for the specific purpose of developing, owning and operating the Center. MPTC’s wholly owned subsidiary, Maryland Contract Holding Company, LLC was formed in July 2015 to hold the rights to the Proton Therapy Services Supplement Agreement. Such rights include a patient guarantee receivable of up to $15.0 million from obligated parties University of Maryland Faculty Physicians Inc. and the University of Maryland Medical Systems in the case that less than 3,600 patients are treated between January 2018 and December 2020.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Maryland Proton Treatment Holdings, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Maryland Proton Treatment Center, LLC, and Maryland Contract Holding Company (collectively, “the Company”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

The construction of the Center was completed in November 2015 and the first patient was treated in February 2016. The clinical availability of the Center’s first four treatment rooms occurred in February 2016, May 2016, July 2016 and January 2017. The clinical availability of the fifth and final treatment room occurred in April 2018.

Basis of preparation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Areas where these estimates and assumptions may have the most significant impact on the consolidated financial statements include the collectability of accounts receivable, including the estimation of allowances for contractual adjustments and doubtful accounts; the estimated useful lives and recoverability of property and equipment; accruals for expenditures where invoices have not been received; and the fair value of revenue sharing arrangements (at inception) and the subsequent accretion thereof. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, market conditions, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances; the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent

from other sources. The recorded balances reflect management’s best estimates; however, actual results may differ from such estimates. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Restricted cash is cash restricted for the benefit of the Senior Lender (Deutsche Bank), as required pursuant to the Credit Agreement (Note 6). Restricted cash includes bank deposits and government bonds, may vary or fluctuate in the period, and are reflected in the consolidated balance sheet at the market value as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. Funds released by our Senior Lender to satisfy obligations on the debt (Note 6 and Note 10) are classified as a current asset on the consolidated balance sheet. The following table provides a summary of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the statement of financial position and reflected in the Company’s statement of cash flows as of: December 31, 2017 2016 Cash and cash equivalents $ 6,660,665 $ 18,891,792 Restricted cash, current 16,236,008 5,360,274 Restricted cash, long-term - 16,171,927 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 22,896,673 $ 40,423,993

The Company maintains cash accounts with financial institutions with funds insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. At times, funds held with these institutions may exceed FDIC-insured limits. The Company held approximately $22.4 million and $39.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, in excess of the FDIC-insured limits, spread across various deposit accounts, and has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Certificate of deposit A certificate of deposit of $225,000 was issued in February 2014 that bears interest at an annual rate of 0.05%. This certificate of deposit originally matured in June 2016, has been extended annually through June 2018, and is expected to expire in February 2019 unless extended. The certificate of deposit serves as collateral for an irrevocable letter of credit issued to the Maryland Department of Environment. Patient accounts receivable, net Patient accounts receivable are stated at their outstanding balances, net of contractual adjustments and provision for bad debts. Balances outstanding include amounts due from Medicare and Medicaid, managed care insurance companies, affiliates and patients or patient representatives.

Patient accounts receivable are non-interest bearing and the Company generally does not require collateral when extending credit. The Company maintains allowances to reflect the expected collectability of accounts receivable based on past collection history and specific risks identified among outstanding patient accounts. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $4.2 million and approximately $0.4 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Contractual adjustments are based on terms defined in payor agreements. The following table includes gross patient accounts receivable from third-party payors as a percentage of accounts receivable before contractual adjustments and allowances as of December 31, 2017 and 2016: December 31, 2017 2016 Managed Care 45% 55% Medicare and Medicaid 24% 28% Other third-party payors 22% 8% Self-Pay 8% 8% Tricare 1% 1% Total 100%

Property, plant and equipment, net Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization and net of any accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset to prepare the asset for its intended use. Borrowing costs attributable to the acquisition or construction of capital assets that take a substantial amount of time to prepare for their intended use are capitalized to the cost of those assets. These costs primarily include interest incurred and eligible for capitalization pursuant to Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 835-20, Capitalization of Interest Costs. The commencement date for capitalization of costs occurs when the Company first incurs expenditures for the qualifying assets and undertakes the required activities to prepare the assets for their intended use. On November 1, 2015, the Company placed the building and related furniture and equipment in service. During 2016, and through the beginning of 2017, the cyclotron and the four treatment rooms were placed in service which allowed patient treatment per the following schedule: Treatment Room #1 - February 2016; Treatment Room #2 - May 2016; Treatment Room #3 - July 2016 and Treatment Room #4 - January 2017. Construction of the fifth and final treatment room began in 2017 and became ready for use in April 2018. Depreciation commences when the assets are available for use and are placed into service. Depreciation is expensed on a straight-line basis as part of operating expenses to decrease the overall book value of the assets. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed periodically, and are adjusted if deemed appropriate. Expenditures for repairs and

maintenance costs are expensed as incurred, whereas major betterments are capitalized as additions to property and equipment. When assets are retired or disposed of, the assets and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the determination of net income or loss. Estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows: Building 5 – 40 years Proton equipment 5 – 30 years Medical equipment 5 - 10 years Computer equipment and software 3 – 7 years Furniture and fixtures 5 - 10 years

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the useful life of the asset. In accordance with the requirements within ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company’s review of its long-lived assets (including property, plant and equipment) for impairment is performed when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the amount of impairment recognized is measured by taking the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its respective fair value. No impairment was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. Patient service revenue Patient service revenue is recorded when healthcare services are performed. The Company records amounts billed at their expected net realizable value based on reimbursement agreements with third-party payors and historical experience. The following table represents the Company’s gross patient service revenue mix by payor type (Patient service revenue, net of contractual allowances, but before provision for bad debts recognized from major payor sources): For the year ended December 31, 2017. 2016.

The Company estimates that contractual adjustments represent approximately 60% of the gross patient service revenue for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Contractual adjustments are based on terms defined in payor agreements. Deferred financing costs Deferred financing costs represent fees paid to lenders and other third parties to secure financing, are capitalized as incurred, and are recognized to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method. The Company considers ASC 470-50, Debt – Modification and Extinguishments, when evaluating the impact of amendments to the Company’s debt arrangements to determine the treatment for cost previously capitalized and fees incurred to secure the new financing. As of December 2015, the Company adopted Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Cost. The adoption of this ASU required that debt financing costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. Deferred financing fees directly related to the potential funding described in Note 3 shall be capitalized and presented in the balance sheet as deferred financing fees – offering. Deferred revenue share Certain debt agreements include provisions providing lenders the right to a portion of the Company’s future earnings. The provisions were included as incentives to the lender, vary in nature, and primarily include the lender’s right to a fixed or prorated percentage of revenue and/or Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) over a specified term which extends beyond maturity of the debt. Collectively, these arrangements are referred to as deferred revenue shares (Note 6). At the inception of the original agreement or when the provision was added to the lending arrangement, the Company recorded the fair value of the revenue share arrangement as a discount or loss on extinguishment, subject to the conclusion of the Company’s ASC 470-50 analysis. The off-set resulted in the recognition of a revenue share liability which is accreted to interest expense

using the effective interest method based on the forecasted future cash flows of the revenue share arrangement. The Company applies the prospective method to adjust for changes in anticipated cash flows. Changes are assessed periodically as significant changes in forecasted cash flows become known and are reflected in interest expense over the remaining term of the obligation. Amounts recorded as a debt discount are amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt using the effective interest method. Distributions by the Company to the lenders for revenue share accrued are subject to certain provisions in the agreements, are based on the seniority of the lender, and are not anticipated to occur in the near term. As such, the total value recorded for these arrangements as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 is classified as a long-term liability. Any payments made in the future will be recorded as they occur and reduce the outstanding liability. Advertising and marketing costs Costs incurred for advertising and marketing are expensed as incurred and are included in the Company’s operating expenses as general and administrative expenses. Advertising and marketing expenses was approximately $1.1 million and $1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Income taxes The Company is organized as a limited liability company and MPTH has elected to be taxed as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, for federal and state income taxes, income is taxed to Members based on their allocated share of taxable income or loss. Certain states tax the income of limited liability companies at the entity level. Provision for such state income taxes has not been material. The Company did not make any distributions to its Members for income taxes during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. Fair value measurements The estimated fair values of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable arising in the ordinary course of business, approximate their individual carrying amounts due to the relatively short period of time between their origination and expected realization. For liabilities such as notes payable and long-term debt not accounted for at fair value and without quoted market prices, fair value is based upon estimated cash flows adjusted for credit risk, which are discounted using an interest rate appropriate for the maturity of the applicable loans. The fair value of notes payable and long-term debt approximates their carrying value. The estimated fair values of the Company’s revenue share liabilities were determined using an appropriate discount rate based on the relative borrowing risk of the Company, and the fair value approximates carrying value. Debt modification and extinguishments Any reacquisition, retirement, modification or exchange of debt instruments is subject to specific accounting treatment under ASC 470-50. A debt extinguishment is recognized if the modification or exchange of debt instruments has substantially different terms or has been significantly modified. An exchange or modification is considered substantial when the present value of the cash flows

Page 258: Public Finance Authority

Maryland Proton Treatment Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

13

under the new note is at least 10% different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original note using the effective interest rate of the original note as the discount rate. Cash flows can be affected by changes in principal amounts, interest rates, maturity, option features, revenue share interests and additional fees exchanged between parties. Upon extinguishment, the carrying value of the original debt is derecognized and the fair value of the new debt is recognized. The difference between the fair value of the new debt and the carrying value of the original debt is recorded as a gain or loss and recognized in the period in which the extinguishment took place. Debt extinguishment gains and losses are not recognized as extraordinary items as they are not considered both unusual and infrequently occurring. Interest expense is recorded based on the effective interest rate of the new debt. Any unamortized premium or discounts and issuance costs are amortized prior to the extinguishment and determination of the gain or loss. Recently adopted accounting pronouncement In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-15, requiring management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The update became effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods ending thereafter. The Company has adopted this ASU for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and management has concluded that there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s continuation as a going concern within one year after the issue date of the consolidated financial statements if the Company is unable to execute a certain transaction (Note 3). Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted In May 2014, the FASB issued a new comprehensive revenue recognition standard, ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), (“ASU 2014-09”), which will apply to virtually all industries. The revenue standard’s core principle is built on the contract between a vendor and a customer for the provision of goods and services. It attempts to depict the exchange of rights and obligations between the parties in the pattern of revenue recognition based on the consideration to which the vendor is entitled. To accomplish this objective, the standard requires five basic steps: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies the performance obligation. The new standard will be effective for nonpublic entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to leases. This update, effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020, will replace existing guidance in GAAP and will require lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. When implemented, lessees and lessors will be required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

2. Restatement In February 2018, and after the issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, management concluded that the previously issued consolidated financial statements for prior years should not be relied upon due to errors identified in the referenced financial statements. The errors identified primarily related to the Company incorrectly accounting for capitalized interest, debt issuance costs and the accretion of revenue share arrangements related to the Company’s debt issuances, in addition to modification accounting for amendments made to the Company’s existing debt arrangements. The Company has restated its previously reported consolidated financial statements and has reflected the correction of the errors in the Company’s opening accumulated deficit at January 1, 2016. The conclusion to restate the Company’s consolidated financial statements followed an internal review of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accounting records. The review identified an overstatement of the Company’s consolidated net assets and errors in cumulative earnings through December 31, 2015. The effects of the restatement, including the correction of all errors identified by management, were deemed to be material to the previously issued consolidated financial statements, and are reflected in the Company’s accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes. In addition, the Company also recorded other miscellaneous adjustments as part of this restatement that are either related to the above or were previously identified but determined to be immaterial. The total cumulative impact of the restatement on the Company’s accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2015 was as follows (the income tax effects were not material):

Accumulated deficit, December 31, 2015 (original) $ 33,084,372 Cumulative misstatement 8,295,462    Accumulated deficit, January 1, 2016 (restated) $ 41,379,834

       The corrections, net of any income tax effects as applicable, relate to:

(a) Improper application of the interest method

Management determined that the Company failed to properly apply the interest method, as outlined in ASC 835-30, Interest—Imputed Interest. The error impacts the amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts, as well as the subsequent measurement of the Company’s revenue share arrangements—discussed further below. The result was an understatement of interest expense in periods prior to the year ended December 31, 2016.

(b) Improper treatment of debt financing costs

Management identified errors in the treatment of incremental costs incurred in connection with the Company’s lending arrangements, including fees paid to lenders and third parties as a result of the issuance of new debt and/or the amendment of pre-existing debt arrangements. The Company incorrectly capitalized certain costs not eligible under the guidance, and incorrectly applied the interest method to recognize the deferred cost to interest expense over the life of the note.

Page 260: Public Finance Authority

Maryland Proton Treatment Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

15

(c) Improper treatment of revenue share arrangements

Management identified errors in the initial measurement and subsequent treatment of certain incentives provided to the lender(s) in exchange for either the issuance of or amendment of the Company’s debt arrangements.

More specifically, management determined (i) the day-one fair value of the revenue share incentive was not properly calculated, (ii) the financial models used by the Company incorrectly accounted for changes in anticipated cash flows, (iii) the amortization of the debt discount was not recorded correctly; and (iv) the Company improperly deferred interest expense associated with the revenue share arrangements until earned, failing to accrete the liability in accordance with ASC 835-30.

(d) Improper treatment of debt modification—extinguishment accounting

The Company reviewed its accounting for amendments entered into with its various lenders during fiscal years 2012 through 2015, and determined that the Company had improperly executed the troubled debt restructuring analysis pursuant to ASC 470-60, Troubled Debt Restructuring, and failed to perform an appropriate concession analysis which includes comparing the effective borrowing rate of the original debt at the date of the modification against the effective borrowing rate of the amended debt immediately after the modification date. Additionally, the Company inappropriately analyzed and accounted for the debt modification pursuant to ASC 470-50 and did not apply the appropriate analysis to conclude on debt modification versus extinguishment and assessing whether the present value of the cash flow under the terms of the new debt instrument is at least 10% different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original instrument.

Moreover, the Company did not properly consider the day one fair value of the revenue share offered to the lender as a result of an amendment to the debt, as a fee paid to the lender, therefore incorrectly recording the revenue share arrangement as a debt discount rather than recognizing the cost as a loss on extinguishment, when the Company concluded an amendment constituted an extinguishment.

(e) Improper treatment of capitalization of interest

Management determined interest expense was incorrectly capitalized in prior periods due to the misapplication of ASC 830-20. Specifically, the Company (i) incorrectly computed the capitalization rate (weighted average interest rate or borrowing rate) used in the calculation to determine eligible capitalized interest; and (ii) incorrectly computed the average accumulated expenditures. Before considering the implications of errors discussed in (a) through (d) above, the impact of these errors was an understatement of expense (overstatement of cost capitalized). The corrections reflected above are net of the other restatement adjustments noted, and in turn impact the depreciation expense originally recorded.

(f) Improper recognition of prior period expenses and other miscellaneous errors

Certain prior period amounts related to IT maintenance services and property taxes were included within the incorrect period. The Company adjusted for these errors to properly reflect the timing of services rendered in the statement of operations.

3. Going Concern The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of operations and assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for twelve months from the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements. The Company incurred losses of approximately $63.5 million and $73.4 million, and recorded net cash used in operating activities of approximately $14.6 million and $35.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. In 2016, 2017 and first half of 2018, the Company defaulted on several of the outstanding debt agreements and worked with its creditors to obtain waivers to remedy these defaults. Cash flows from operations have not been sufficient to service ongoing commitments related to the Company’s debt obligations or expenditures for certain third-party services rendered in the normal course of business. The Company expects to continue the practice of deferring payments and does not anticipate cash flows from operations to be sufficient to service operations and outstanding debt for the foreseeable future. Substantial doubt exists as to whether the Company will continue as a going concern within the next twelve months. Management believes that the actions discussed below will mitigate the concern raised by the Company’s historical operating results and satisfy estimated liquidity needs for twelve months from the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had $9.9 million (unaudited) cash on hand and expected to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its projected cash outflow through July 31, 2019, while continuing its current practice of deferring payments on certain operating and interest expenses. In May 2018, the Company successfully secured an extension to its financing agreement with Deutsche Bank, which was scheduled to mature on May 13, 2018. The extension extended the due date of the note to September 13, 2018 and resulted in an additional financing fee of approximately $3.4 million. Planned sale and lease of assets In July 2017, the Company engaged two leading national underwriters to co-lead the Company’s pursuit of new sources of funding. Also, during that time, the Company engaged two financial advisors to serve as the independent registered municipal advisors and several other parties to help successfully secure new funding. The planned funding will initiate from, and be wholly dependent upon, the issuance of tax-exempt revenue bonds in the amounts of up to $365.0 million (the “Bonds”) issued by the Public Finance Authority (“PFA”), a unit of government of the State of Wisconsin. The contemplated transactions are as follows. The Company, as lessor, and PFA, as lessee, will enter into a ground lease of its land and improvements (the “Ground Lease”), currently owned and operated by the Company, in conjunction with a sale of personal property from the Company to PFA. Contemporaneously with the issuance of the Bonds, the Company and PFA will enter into a Facility Operating Agreement (“FOA”) establishing the Company as the operator of the Center. The Bonds will be secured by PFA’s leasehold interest in the land and the building, PFA’s interest in the equipment, security interest in

the FOA, the funds established in accordance with the FOA, and the various funds held under the Trust Indenture. Substantially all the rent to be paid to the Company under the Ground Lease will be paid at the inception of the lease, as discussed further below. The proceeds of the Bonds will be used to make the rent payment, purchase the personal property, fund various reserve accounts, and pay certain costs of issuances. Issuance of the Bonds is anticipated to occur during the third quarter of 2018.

Lease Agreement

In accordance with the terms of the Ground Lease, the Company will lease its land and improvements to PFA for a term of 80 years. Proceeds of the Bonds will be used to finance an upfront lease payment to the Company, expected to be comprised of one lump sum payment of $221 million on the lease commencement date. PFA will pay 79 subsequent annual fixed rent payments of $1. As the tenant, PFA would be responsible for all real estate taxes and certain other costs as defined in the lease agreement.

Sale of Personal Property

Effective on the date of issuance of the Bonds, PFA will enter into a contract to purchase from the Company certain furniture and equipment for approximately $8.0 million with the proceeds from the Bonds.

Facility Operating Agreement

Effective on the date of issuance of the Bonds, PFA and the Company will enter into a long-term FOA with respect to all decisions affecting the operation, maintenance, and management of the Center. The term of the FOA would be for an initial 18-year period, with an automatic 15-year renewal term, unless notice of termination is given by either party.

The Company will be required to establish an Operating Account to collect all Gross Operating Revenues and Professional Fee Revenues and pay all Operating Expenses that have been approved by the Operating Plan and Budget, as defined by the FOA. The Company will retain certain contracts in its name including its Medicaid permit to continue to collect government receivables. At the end of each month, the Company will be required to transfer all moneys in the Operating Account above $4.7 million into the Revenue Fund held by the trustee. Under the terms of the FOA, the Company will not be required to advance any of its own funds for the benefit of the Center, provide any financial support for the Center, or lend its credit for the Center.

Donative Transfer

Immediately after the execution of the Ground Lease, the Company will donate the reversionary interest in the land to the UMB Health Sciences Research Park Corporation, a Maryland not-for-profit corporation. As a result, all capital assets will be relinquished from the Company.

If issuance of the Bonds is successful, the Company expects the resulting cash inflows and corresponding issuance of new agreements noted above to be sufficient to renegotiate and settle the outstanding debt obligations—including interest and deferred revenue share—related to existing creditors and equity holders, and provide the liquidity necessary to support the Company’s

operations for twelve months from the issuance of the consolidated financial statements, thereby alleviating the conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company cannot provide assurances that these plans will not change, that changes in circumstances will not result in the depletion of the Company’s capital resources more rapidly than currently anticipated, or that the Company will be successful in securing additional liquidity. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, but due to the Company’s future liquidity needs, history of net losses, and negative cash flows from continuing operations, as well as the maturity of existing loans on September 13, 2018, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern should the issuance of the Bonds be delayed into the fourth quarter of 2018 or not be successful. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. 4.

Total additions during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, including construction in progress were approximately $8.0 million and $18.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2017, the total cost recorded for assets under capital lease approximated $7.0 million. Depreciation and amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, was approximately $13.1 million and $10.9 million. Construction in progress as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 primarily relates to the construction and buildout of the Company’s proton treatment rooms. Construction of the fifth and final treatment room began in 2017 and became ready for use in April 2018.

Medical equipment, computer equipment and software acquired under capital leases totaled approximately $2.8 million and $3.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Amortization expense under capital leases is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the consolidated statement of operations. Accumulated amortization was approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 respectively. The assets under lease are treated as capital leases because they contain a bargain purchase option to acquire the leased assets at the end of the lease term with the respective vendor.

Interest expense on debt issued for construction projects is capitalized until the projects are placed into service and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset. Capitalized interest expense included in the cost basis of building and equipment as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 is approximately $47.5 million. No interest was capitalized for the years ended December 31, 2017 or 2016.

5. Equipment Purchase Agreement

In June 2011, the Company entered into a Proton System Purchase Agreement (“the Initial System Agreement”) with Varian Medical Systems, Inc. (“Varian”) to acquire for the Center the Varian Proton System and Proton System Components (collectively, “the Proton System”). The agreement underwent amendments in May 2013, July 2013, January 2014, September 2014 and April 2015. Varian provided the Company with the equipment, hardware, firmware and software for the Proton System and performed installation services relating to the Company’s development and construction of the proton treatment and research facility. Subject to the terms of the Amended System Agreement as of April 14, 2015, the Company will pay a total of approximately $86.6 million for the Proton System and related services based upon the achievement of various milestones.

The Company paid approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively of the outstanding amount due under the Proton System Agreement, bringing the total amount paid to Varian under the agreement to approximately $61.4 million. As of December 31, 2017, and 2016 respectively, the balance incurred but unpaid approximated $31.6 million and $23.6 million and is classified as a current liability on the balance sheet, all of which are due at the end of September 2018 and is subordinate only to Deutsche Bank. All note payments made to Varian are based on paid-in-kind interest at 15% and are non-refundable.

The Company’s lending arrangements, detailed in order of seniority, include the following:

(a) Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas

On May 13, 2015, MPTC entered into a Credit Agreement (“Deutsche Bank Note”) withDeutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (“Agent”) and Deutsche Bank Securities(“Arranger”), collectively referred to as the Lenders. The Credit Agreement provides for amaximum aggregate loan to the Company in the principal amount of $172.0 million subjectto two tranches equal to $155.0 million and $17.0 million. On May 13, 2015, the Companydrew down the initial term loan in an aggregate amount equal to $155.0 million and on April19, 2016, the Company received an additional $17.0M. The Deutsche Bank Note bearsinterest of 12.5% per annum payable quarterly in arrears and was set to mature on May 13,2018 but was amended to extend the maturity date to September 13, 2018. Interest iscomputed on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as the case may be, for the actualnumber of days elapsed in the period for which it accrues. The Company may prepay all ora portion of the loan at any time in an aggregate minimum amount of $5.0 million andintegral multiples of $1.0 million in excess of that amount.

Under the terms of the Credit Agreement and at inception of the arrangement, the Companyestablished and deposited $21.4 million into a twelve-month debt service reserve account,only to be used at the discretion of the lender. During 2017, $5.3 million of the funds in thisaccount were used for payment of the 2017 fourth quarter interest payment in December2017.

The Company incurred interest expense of approximately $21.5 million and $21.8 million forthe years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 respectively, which included approximately$1.0 million in default interest accrued at an interest rate of 14.5% per annum for the yearended December 31, 2016. In May 2018, the Company’s Senior Lender agreed to waive alldefault interest incurred for the year ended December 31, 2017, and through May 10, 2018as part of an amendment to the Deutsche Bank Note. If default interest associated with theDeutsche Bank Note was not waived, the Company would have incurred approximately $3.4million of additional interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2017. After May 10,2018, default interest shall continue to accrue at an interest rate of 14.5% per annum.Except for approximately, $0.1 million and $0.6 million recorded in accrued expenses as ofDecember 31, 2017 and 2016 respectively, all other interest expense was paid in the period.

The Deutsche Bank Note is secured by a first lien on substantially all assets of the Company,and senior in right of payment to the subordinated obligations. The Deutsche Bank Note isguaranteed by APT per the Sponsor Guarantee and Security Agreement. As consideration forthe Deutsche Bank Note made under the Credit Agreement in May 2015, the Company agreedto pay the Lender an upfront fee of $4.3 million due upon close, and an incremental fee(“revenue share”). The incremental fee, is discussed further below, and shall continuethrough the nineteenth (19) anniversary of the Agreement, is calculated based on an amountequal to 5% of MPTC’s annual gross cash receipts and is payable quarterly in arrears.Excluding the revenue share, the total fees incurred and capitalized by the Company as adiscount on the debt related to this arrangement totaled approximately $7.5 million. As ofDecember 31, 2017, and 2016, the cumulative unamortized balance approximated $1.1million and $3.9 million, respectively.

(b) Varian

On May 7, 2013, the Company executed an agreement with Varian Medical SystemsInternational AG (“Varian”) for a principal balance of $10.0 million, subject to an interestrate of 10.0% per annum, due upon maturity, and computed for each payment period basedon the actual number of days outstanding over a year of 360 days. The note was scheduledto mature on the earlier of November 7, 2013 or when the Company received $25.0 millionin new financing. From May 7, 2013 to September 26, 2014, the agreement underwent sixamendments extending the date of maturity and charging incremental fees to the Company.

On September 26, 2014, the bridge financing arrangement converted to a Series A SecuredNote, extending the maturity date of the note from September 30, 2014 to March 31, 2018.In return for the extension, the amendment increased the annual interest rate to 12.0% perannum, computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and granted thelender rights to future earnings; hereby referred to as the “Revenue Fee” and discussed inthe section labeled “Revenue Fee - Intercreditor Agreement” below.

On May 13, 2015, in connection with the lending arrangement executed with Deutsche Bank,the Company executed a seventh amendment with Varian. The Amendment extended thematurity of the debt to July 15, 2022, rolled the accrued and unpaid interest expense intothe existing principal balance (new principal balance of $12,326,422), and transitioned thenote to paid-in-kind interest computed monthly at a rate of 12.00% per annum, computedon the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In addition, Varian committed topurchasing $22.8 million of additional Series A Notes, anticipated to be made in fourseparate, but equal installments. In July and October 2016, Varian exercised theircommitment and funded the remaining $22.8 million commitment in two equal installmentsof $11.4 million. The changes in the timing of the additional commitments were evaluatedfor modification-extinguishment treatment in accordance with ASC 470-50 and determinedto be modifications.

On July 31, 2015, an eighth amendment was executed, changing the maturity date of theSeries A Notes to July 15, 2020, July 15, 2021 and July 15, 2022 with amounts due equal to33%, 50% and 100% of the then outstanding principal balance.

Series A Notes are secured on a third priority basis by liens on substantially all assets of theCompany, and junior and subordinated in right of payment to Senior Obligations per theAgreement. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company incurredinterest expense of approximately $4.9 million and $2.6 million, respectively, all of whichis included in the outstanding principal balance as of the years then ended.

(c) Lulu Limited

On August 31, 2012, the Company executed an agreement with three lenders aggregating toan outstanding principal balance of $25.0 million. The notes were scheduled to mature onAugust 31, 2013 and accrued interest at an annual rate of 12.0% per annum, computed basedon a 360-day year and 30-day month. Over the course of the next two years, thearrangements were subject to several assignments and amendments, consolidating the debtto one lender from three, extending the maturity date of the note, and increasing theapplicable interest rate to 15.0% per annum, computed based on the actual number of dayselapsed in a 360-day year.

On August 15, 2014, the note was amended and converted to a Senior Secured Promissory Note with the maturity date extended to September 30, 2017, secured on a second priority basis by liens on substantially all assets of the Company, and junior and subordinated in right of payment to Senior Obligations per the Intercreditor agreement. In addition, the amendment provided for a most favored nations provision, and granted Lulu the right to 1.6667% of gross cash receipts collected by the Company during each calendar month through perpetuity. The modification was accounted for as an extinguishment of the debt, and the value of the revenue share interest determined at inception of approximately $4.0 million was immediately expensed and recorded as a loss on extinguishment at the debt modification date.

On May 13, 2015, the arrangement was amended again, extending the maturity of the debt to September 30, 2018 and adding an additional revenue share fee equal to 0.7% of gross cash receipts collected by the Company during each calendar month through the nineteenth (19th) anniversary of the agreement. The Company concluded the modification was not an extinguishment and recorded an additional revenue share liability and corresponding discount of approximately $1.9 million at the time of the amendment.

Both revenue fees (1.6667% and 0.7%) are subject to the payment provisions discussed below and outlined in the Intercreditor Agreement.

The Company incurred approximately $4.7 million and $4.3 million in interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, of which approximately $8.0 million is accrued for as of December 31, 2017. Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2015, under Amendment No. 4 to the Credit Agreement with Deutsche Bank, regularly scheduled interest payments to subordinated debt holders cannot be made until certain milestones have been met.

(d) Series A/B notes - Various Non-Varian Reg D Lenders

In May 2013, three Series A Senior Secured Promissory Notes were executed with separate lenders. The Notes aggregated to $7.5 million, were subject to interest of 10.0% per annum computed based on a 30-day month and 360-day year, payable monthly, and scheduled to mature on March 31, 2018, subject to a one-year optional extension. On September 26, 2014, the agreements were amended, increasing the stated interest rate from 10.0% to 12.0%, and on May 13, 2015, amendments were executed extending the maturity date to March 31, 2019.

Cumulative costs capitalized over this period approximated $1.3 million, of which approximately $0.3 million and $0.5 million remained unamortized as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The Series A notes were granted a pro-rata revenue fee, computed in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement, as defined further below. Senior Secured notes are secured on a second priority basis by liens on substantially all assets of the Company, and junior and subordinated in right of payment to Senior Obligations per the Agreement.

On May 21, 2014, the Company executed a Series B Senior Secured Promissory Note for $1.0 million, due March 31, 2018, subject to a one-year optional extension. The note accrued interest at a rate of 12.0% per annum prior to increasing to 13.25% per annum, when amended on September 26, 2014. On October 17, 2014, the principal balance was extended

Page 269: Public Finance Authority

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

24

to $2.0 million, without any changes to maturity or the interest rate. On May 13, 2015, an amendment was executed extending the maturity date to March 31, 2019.

The Company incurred approximately $1.1 million and $1.3 million in interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, of which approximately $2.1 million is accrued for as of December 31, 2017. Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2015, under Amendment No. 4 to the Credit Agreement with Deutsche Bank, regularly scheduled interest payments to subordinated debt holders cannot be made until certain milestones have been met.

(e) Kelcy Warren

The preexisting note with Kelcy Warren was extinguished prior to January 1, 2016; however, included a provision providing the lender the right to 1.0% of the Company’s cash collections through perpetuity. The provision continues despite settlement of the debt and is subject to the same payment provisions discussed below.

Related to all the Company’s notes there are no subjective acceleration clauses that would cause a material change in the estimation or actual future payments. Deferred financing costs Deferred financing costs are reported net of notes payable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and represent the costs incurred to obtain financing which include legal fees, loan fees related to loan extensions and commissions paid to secure debt financing. The debt discount associated with deferred financing costs is amortized over the life of the note using the effective interest method, and for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 approximately $3.1 million and $2.5 million was recorded to interest expense, respectively. The cumulative unamortized debt discount as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 was approximately $1.5 million and $4.6 million, respectively. Deferred revenue share liability As noted above, certain note purchase agreements and related promissory notes include revenue share obligations provided to the lenders as inducements to enter into the loan agreement. The Company accounts for these obligations at their fair value as determined upon inception of the agreement using a discount rate reflective of the Company’s financial position and borrowing capacity. The fair value is recorded as a discount to the associated debt and a long-term liability for future expected revenue payments to the respective lender. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt arrangement, using the effective interest method, and the deferred revenue share liability is released as payments are made to the lender. The long-term liability is accreted to expected future revenue payments using the effective interest method, is adjusted prospectively for changes in anticipated cash flows, and the accretion is recorded as interest expense. Additionally, any revenue share inducements that were granted together with the debt extinguishment described above, were immediately expensed and accordingly, did not result in the Company recording a debt discount.

The deferred liability will be reduced as required minimum payments are made over the term of the revenue share arrangement and interest expense shall accrete over the same term using the effective interest method. As of December 31, 2017, no revenue share payments against the revenue share liability have been made, or are expected to be made, and the balance is classified as a long-term liability on the consolidated balance sheet. Revenue Fee – Intercreditor Agreement Under the terms of the various arrangements and in accordance with the provisions in the Intercreditor Agreement, unless otherwise indicated above, the Revenue Fee shall accrue and be payable to the holders of the Series A Notes as long as the corresponding note remains outstanding. During this period, the Revenue Fee should be calculated as the Company’s anticipated gross cash receipts multiplied by the Applicable Revenue Fee Percentage (defined below). Beginning on the first day immediately succeeding the payment of all of the outstanding Series A Notes in full in cash

26

and ending on the ten (10) year anniversary of said payment, an amount equal to the sum of the Monthly EBITDA Amount multiplied by the Applicable EBITDA Percentage (defined below).

The payment of these fees are due quarterly; however, to the extent that the difference between the gross receipts collected by the Company for the most recent fiscal quarter ended and the Company expenditures for the same period (“Excess Gross Receipt Amount”) are less than the Revenue Fee, the Company shall not be required to pay the Revenue Fee. Rather the unpaid portion of the Revenue Fee will accrue, and any subsequent payment will be applied against the earliest unpaid portion of the Revenue Fee.

The Applicable Revenue Fee Percentage and the subsequent Applicable EBITDA Percentage are defined as follows:

Applicable Revenue Fee Percentage – the product of (a) one percent (1.0%) multiplied by (b)

the result of (i) an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of Series A Notes determined as the day immediately preceding the first day of the Subject Period (without giving effect to any prepayments of principal made by the Company on or prior to such date) divided by (ii) $25,000,000.

Applicable EBITDA Percentage - the product of (a) two percent (2.0%) multiplied by (b) the

result of (i) an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of Series A Notes determined as the day immediately preceding the first day of the Subject Period (without giving effect to any prepayments of principal made by the Company on or prior to such date) divided by (ii) $25,000,000.

7. Related-Party Transactions Advanced Particle Therapy Advanced Particle Therapy (“APT”) was Sponsor of the Company and had representatives serving as officers of the Company and on the Company’s Board of Managers through March 2017. APT provided the Company with development and management services under the Project Development and Management Services Agreement. Effective August 31, 2016, APT’s only representative on the Company’s Board of Managers was removed as both an officer of the Company and his role on the Board. APT was originally issued 100% of Class B Units of which 10% was allocated to Signet Development, LLC, a joint venture partner which has significant experience and expertise in real estate development and construction management. Separately APT transferred 3.4% to a private party. Under the terms of the Project Development and Management Services Agreement, as amended in February 2013, APT provided certain services with respect to the development, financing, construction and operation of the Center. In consideration for these services, the Company paid APT a fee equal to 5% of building construction, architectural and engineering, and proton equipment and subsystems costs, exclusive of any capitalized interest recorded in building costs. As a result of this arrangement, approximately $4.9 million and $4.7 million are included in due to related parties at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and is being negotiated for settlement.

Under the amended Project Development and Management Services Agreement, the fee due to Signet will no longer be paid by APT and is the responsibility of the Company. As of December 31, 2017, and 2016, a fee of $0.6 million remained unpaid and accrued by the Company. The balance is recorded as due to related parties and is classified as a long-term liability. In addition to this fee and in accordance with the agreement with APT, APT allocated shared expenses among several proton treatment centers managed by their organization. In May 2016, APT terminated all of its employees and APT negotiated a new agreement with the Company to transition shared Sponsor services to the Center. The Project Development and Management Services Agreement was replaced by a revised proposal on June 27, 2016. Under the new agreement APT was to be paid for the services on a scaled down basis from June 2016 through March 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company incurred costs related to these arrangements of approximately $0.6 million, which was settled by alleviating the Company’s pre-existing prepaid balance of approximately $0.5 million and an additional cash outlay of approximately $0.1 million.

Clinical management and administrative services agreement On January 9, 2012, MPTC entered into clinical management and administrative services agreements (CMASA) with the University of Maryland Radiation Oncology Associates, P.A. (“UMROA”) and the University of Maryland Medical Center (“UMMC”) for UMROA and UMMC to provide clinical management and administrative services at the Center, which included recommending an executive director, and establishing and implementing clinical policies and procedures. Professional services agreements On January 12, 2012, and later amended in May 2015, MPTC entered into two separate professional services agreements (“PSA”) with UMROA and UMMC, respectively, for UMROA and UMMC to provide physician services, medical direction, clinical support personnel and other related services. MPTC is responsible for compensation, building of the Center, appointment of an executive director, equipment, maintenance and billing. The PSA fees are based upon future payroll of the Company. UMROA currently requires MPTC to maintain a letter of credit to secure payment of fees. The amount of the letter of credit is determined prior to each fiscal year which begins July 1 and ends on June 30. The initial measurement period started on the first patient treatment (“Commencement Date”) and continue through June 30 following the Commencement Date. Each subsequent measurement period will be for the twelve-month period beginning July 1 and ending on June 30. The letter of credit is calculated based upon twelve months of base compensation for a proton therapy radiation oncologist, inclusive of employment-related expenses, multiplied by the number of full-time oncologists, plus the base compensation and benefits for the medical director. The amount calculated is then multiplied by a discount factor of 75%. As amended in May 2015, the Company is not required to fund the first $2.5 million of the calculated annual funding requirement until the obligations of the Company to Deutsche Bank, and its lending group are extinguished.

The first patient was treated in February 2016, and the Company currently projects the letter of credit to be approximately $1.3 million, net of the $2.5 million waiver as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 respectively, assuming MPTC leases 5 oncologists employed by UMROA. Employee leasing agreement On March 29, 2012, MPTC entered into an employee leasing agreement (ELA) with UMMC which was later amended on September 23, 2014 and May 13, 2015. Pursuant to the amended terms of the ELA, UMMC leases to MPTC certain non-physician personnel to perform services such as dosimetry, physics, radiation therapy, nursing, administration, etc. and to direct such leased employees on behalf of MPTC. The initial term of the ELA is for 20 years from the date the Center was licensed for operation or the date the Center is ready to receive patients for consultation services, whichever is earlier, with automatic five-year renewals. The agreement may be terminated by either party with a twelve-month written notice. The future obligations are based upon projected future budgets. UMMC currently requires MPTC to maintain an Escrow Account to secure payment of fees. As amended in May 2015, the Company is not required to fund the initial $2.5 million of the calculated annual funding requirement until the obligations on the Company to Deutsche Bank and its lending group are extinguished. MPTC currently projects the funding for the UMMC Escrow Account to be approximately $1.0 million, net of the $2.5 million waiver. Total fees incurred related to the PSA, CMASA and ELA incurred for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 approximated $14.9 million and $10.1 million, respectively.

Under the terms of the agreement, Varian shall provide preventative maintenance, curative maintenance and technical operation services (the “Support Services”) beginning on acceptance of the first treatment room (October 2015) with fees due quarterly. Total Support Services fees incurred for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were approximately $6.4 million and $3.8 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, approximately $6.7 million and $2.1 million was unpaid and included in accounts payable. Effective one year after the commencement date, Support Service fees shall be adjusted annually by an amount equal to the net percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) multiplied by the fees in effect for the immediately preceding year.

Services fees for all years following Year 6 shall be adjusted annually by an amount equal to the CPI multiplied by the fees in effect for the immediately preceding year. In June 2017, the Company experienced power supply concerns which led to the Company incurring additional Varian O&M costs of approximately $0.4 million for the installation of additional equipment in March 2018. Uninterrupted power source The Center has been experiencing power interruptions since commencement of operations in 2016. MPTC contracted to have an uninterrupted power source (“UPS”) installed on the incoming power lines that serve the proton treatment equipment. The installation was completed in March 2018. The UPS includes a battery system that will streamline power generation, in addition to eliminate volatility in the voltage which have caused power supply failures and many other issues for the Company’s proton equipment. The project cost was approximately $0.8 million of which approximately $0.6 million relates specifically to equipment and is being financed through Constellation Energy, the electricity provider to the Center. Related to this arrangement, the Company entered into a 5-year installment purchase of the UPS system which concludes in January 2023 whereby the Company pays approximately $13,000 per month which is at an effective interest rate of 6.49%. As of December 31, 2017, assets related to the UPS equipment included in construction in progress was approximately $0.8 million.

9. Members’ Deficit Class A units The Company authorized $68.0 million of Class A equity units comprised of voting Class A-1 and non-voting Class A-2 units. The Company paid selected brokers over the course of two years from March 2011 through April 2013, as compensation for their services, commissions and due diligence allowances of up to 8% and 12% of the gross equity proceeds from the equity capital raise for sales of Class A-1 and Class A-2 units, respectively. In 2014, the Company closed its equity offering having issued 656 units of Class A units for an aggregate amount of approximately $65.8 million. Class A-1 units issued and outstanding at December 31, 2017 and 2016 was approximately 217 and 227, respectively. Class A-2 units issued and outstanding at December 31, 2017 and 2016 was approximately 429. Of all Class A-1 units outstanding, 82.5 such units are held by parties which are also Lenders to the Company. All transfers of membership interests must be approved by the Company’s Board. The Class A-1 units were sold to investors at a price of up to $100,000 per unit, with a minimum investment of ten (10) Class A-1 units. The Company had issued an aggregate of $21.2 million Class A-1 units as of December 31, 2013. Fees incurred in connection with the Class A-1 offering were approximately $2.1 million based on the then determined fair value. The Company had the right to issue to one or more persons that agreed to act as the initial investor in the Class A-1 units a discount to the $100,000 price per Class A-1 unit. The initial investor contributed $9.0 million and received approximately 104 Class A-1 units in March 2011. In December 2017, one of the Company’s Class A-1-unit investors entered into an agreement to surrender all 10 units that had been previously acquired for a total of $1.0 million. No consideration was provided by the Company to the investor for the surrender of the units, and the surrender of the units resulted in a reduction in membership interest class A-1 and accumulated deficit of $1.0 million. The Class A-2 units were sold at a minimum investment of $104,550 per unit, subject to the right of the Company in its sole discretion to sell Class A-2 units in fractional units. The Company issued an aggregate of $44.6 million of Class A-2 units as of December 31, 2013. Fees incurred in connection with the Class A-2 offering were approximately $6.1 million. Additional paid-in capital In October and December 2010, the Company borrowed $0.5 million (“Bridge Note A”) and $1.0 million (“Bridge Note B”), respectively, under the terms of note purchase agreements and related promissory notes (“the Bridge Notes”) from two third parties (“the Bridge Lenders”) and were repaid in full in 2011. The Bridge Lenders had the option to convert the entire principal amount of such Bridge Notes, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, into Class A-2 Units at a per-unit price equal to 75% of the market rate. As a result of the reduced price upon the future potential conversion, a beneficial conversion feature was identified. A beneficial conversion feature is

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

34

required to be valued separately at its commitment date and allocated to additional paid-in-capital (“APIC”). As such, the Company recorded a credit to APIC in the amount of $561,370 which represented the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature as of the commitment date. Class B units The Company issued to APT all outstanding Class B Units equal to 50,000 units, subject to future minority issuances of Class B Units to persons approved by the Company’s Board. A private party was granted a 3.4% interest and as part of APT’s Joint Venture and Exclusive Master Agreement with Signet, Signet is entitled to 10% of APT’s ownership. Class C units The Company’s Board is authorized to issue to any one or more persons a profit interest designated as a Class C Unit, which will entitle the holders to 5% of the distribution made to persons holding Class A-2 Units once those investors have reached the Capital Return Threshold, as defined below. As of December 31, 2016, WFG Health Ventures (“WFG”) had earned approximately 429 Class C Units under the selling agreement between MPTH and WFG. Prior to January 1, 2016, management recorded the fair value of Class C Units upon issuance as $682,224. The units are not subject to annual remeasurement and no additional units are expected to be earned by WFG. Rights to distributions Until all Members holding Class A Units receive in the form of distributions an aggregate amount equal to $100,000 per unit or, in the event of a sale of the Company or other Capital Transaction, an aggregate amount equal to $100,000 per unit (“the Capital Return Threshold”), any and all distributions will be delivered to the Members holding Class A-1 and Class A-2 Units, as a single class, in proportion to their respective membership interests. After the Capital Return Threshold is reached, for every $1.00 of distributions:

The Members holding Class B Units will receive $0.30;

The Members holding Class A Units will receive $0.70 based upon the pro rata proportional basis of Class A-1 and Class A-2 Unit ownership outstanding; and

To the extent that the Company’s Board may issue Class C Units, the Class C Unit holders will be entitled to 5% of the distribution made to persons holding Class A-2 Units once those investors have reached the Capital Return Threshold.

Voting rights and management of the Company The Company’s Board is responsible for and has sole authority for the management of the Company. The unit holders (“the Members”) have no approval rights over borrowings by the Company and the determination of the availability of cash for distribution to the Members. The Company’s Board shall be composed of that number of Managers determined by Members representing a Majority of the Class B Units. The Managers shall be elected by the Members holding a Majority of the Class B Units. Each Manager will hold office until that Manager’s death, resignation or removal. Any Manager may

be removed only by Members representing a Majority of the Class B Units or at a meeting of Members duly called for the purpose of such removal upon approval by Members holding Supermajority (one or more members of the group holding more than 75%) of Class A-1 Units. Upon the occurrence of a vacancy in the Company’s Board, a replacement shall be appointed by the Company’s Board or in the absence of such action by the Company’s Board, by the Members holding a Majority of the Class B Units. Only the Class A-1 Members of the Company are entitled to vote, including with respect to fundamental decisions such as a sale of the Company, and the vote of a majority of such Class A-1 Units will constitute the act of all Members. Other than the right to elect Managers discussed above, the Members will have no rights to participate in the management or control of the Company’s business. However, the LLC Agreement does give the Members certain rights upon the approval of the Class A-1 Units and Class B Membership Interest, including, but not limited to, (a) a change of control transaction; (b) a dissolution of the Company; (c) a bankruptcy filing; (d) a change in the status of the Company from one in which management is reserved to the Managers to one in which management is vested in one or more Members, or vice versa; (e) any action that would result in the Company being classified as a “corporation” for federal income tax purposes; and (f) the issuance or permitting any transfer of any equity securities of any Operating Subsidiary.

Thereafter, (i) the Series 2018A Bonds may only be sold or transferred in Authorized Denominations to Qualified Institutional Buyers, (ii) the Series 2018B Bonds and Series 2018C-1 Bonds may only be sold or transferred in Authorized Denominations to Qualified Institutional Buyers or Accredited Investors, and (iii) the Series 2018C-2 Bonds may only be transferred by the Owner thereof in Authorized Denominations to Qualified Institutional Buyers or Accredited Investors and may be transferred to such Persons only on the Register only after presentation to the Trustee of an investor letter from the transferee in substantially the form of Exhibit G of the Purchase Agreement as provided in this Section 3.08.

Any purported transfer of a Series 2018 Bond in violation of the foregoing restrictions shall be void ab initio.

Section 3.09. Exchanges and Transfers. Except as otherwise provided in any Supplemental Indenture, in all cases in which the privilege of exchanging or transferring Bonds is exercised, the Authority shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Bonds in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. All registered Bonds surrendered in any exchange or transfer shall forthwith be canceled by the Trustee. For every such transfer of Bonds pursuant to Section 3.08, whether temporary or definitive, the Authority, the Trustee or the Registrar may make a charge sufficient to reimburse it or them for any expense, tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer. In addition, for every exchange of Bonds (other than the exchange of temporary Bonds for definitive Bonds), the Authority, the Trustee or the Registrar may make reasonable charges to cover the costs of printing Bonds including any Trustee’s or Registrar’s charges in connection therewith. The payment of the sum or sums provided in this Section shall be made by the Owner requesting such exchange or transfer as a condition precedent to the exercise of the privilege of making such exchange or transfer. Except as may be otherwise provided in a Supplemental Indenture, the Registrar shall not be required to transfer or exchange Bonds for a period from the 15th day of the month next preceding any Interest Payment Date or Principal Payment Date of such Bond through such Interest Payment Date or Principal Payment Date nor to transfer or exchange any Bond after notice calling such Bond or portion thereof for redemption has been given as herein provided nor during the period of 15 days next preceding the giving of such notice.

Section 3.10. Bonds Mutilated, Destroyed, Stolen or Lost. In case any Bonds shall become mutilated or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Authority shall execute, and thereupon the

Page 338: Public Finance Authority

21

4133-8091-3168.14

Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of like Series, lien priority, maturity date, principal amount and interest rate as the Bond so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, provided that (a) in the case of any mutilated Bond, such Bond is first surrendered to the Trustee, (b) in the case of any lost, stolen or destroyed Bond, there is first furnished evidence of such loss, theft or destruction satisfactory to the Trustee together with indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee, (c) all other reasonable requirements of the Authority and the Trustee are complied with, and (d) expenses in connection with such transaction are paid by the Owner. Except as provided in Section 3.09, all Bonds so surrendered to the Trustee shall be canceled by it. Any such new Bonds issued pursuant to this Section in substitution for Bonds alleged to be destroyed, stolen or lost shall constitute original additional contractual obligations on the part of the Authority, whether or not the Bonds alleged to be destroyed, stolen or lost be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be equally secured by and entitled to equal and proportionate benefits in the Revenues and other assets pledged under this Indenture with all other Bonds issued under this Indenture, to the same extent provided herein and subject to the terms and priority set forth herein. If, after the delivery of such new Bond, a bona fide purchaser of the original Bond in lieu of which such new Bond was issued presents for payment or registration such original Bond, the Trustee shall be entitled to recover such new Bond from the Person to whom it was delivered or any person taking therefrom, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Authority or the Trustee in connection therewith.

Section 3.11. Temporary Bonds. Until the definitive Bonds of any Series are prepared, the Authority may execute, in the same manner as is provided in Section 3.06, and, upon the Request of the Authority, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of definitive Bonds, but subject to the same provisions, limitations and conditions as the definitive Bonds except as to denomination, one or more temporary Bonds substantially of the tenor of the definitive Bonds in lieu of which such temporary Bond or Bonds are issued, in Authorized Denominations as provided herein or in a Supplemental Indenture, and with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate to temporary Bonds. The Authority at its own expense shall prepare and execute and, upon the surrender of such temporary Bonds, the Trustee shall authenticate and, without charge to the Owner thereof, deliver in exchange therefor, definitive Bonds of the same aggregate principal amount and Series and maturity as the temporary Bonds surrendered. Until so exchanged, the temporary Bonds shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and security as definitive Bonds authenticated and issued pursuant to this Indenture.

If the Authority shall authorize the issuance of temporary Bonds in more than one denomination, the Owner of any temporary Bond or Bonds may, at said Owner’s option, surrender the same to the Trustee in exchange for another temporary Bond or Bonds of like aggregate principal amount, Series, lien priority and maturity of any other Authorized Denomination or Denominations, and thereupon the Authority shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and, in exchange for the temporary Bond or Bonds so surrendered and upon payment of the taxes, fees and charges as provided for in Section 3.09, shall deliver a temporary Bond or Bonds of like aggregate principal amount, Series and maturity in such other Authorized Denomination or Denominations as shall be requested by such Owner.

Page 339: Public Finance Authority

22

4133-8091-3168.14

All temporary Bonds surrendered in exchange either for another temporary Bond or Bonds or for a definitive Bond or Bonds shall be forthwith canceled by the Trustee.

Section 3.12. Cancellation and Destruction of Bonds. Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture, all Bonds paid in full, either at or before maturity, shall be delivered to the Trustee when such payment or purchase is made, and such Bonds shall thereupon be promptly canceled. Bonds so canceled shall thereafter be treated in accordance with the Trustee’s document retention policies.

Section 3.13. Depository for Series 2018A Bonds, Series 2018B Bonds and Series 2018 C-1 Bonds. (a) The Series 2018A Bonds, Series 2018 B Bond and Series 2018 C-1 Bonds (collectively, the “Series 2018 DTC Bonds”) shall be initially executed and delivered in the form of a separate, single, authenticated, fully registered bond for each separate stated maturity of each series of the Series 2018 DTC Bonds, each such bond to be in the full principal amount of such series of Series 2018 DTC Bonds with such stated maturity. Upon initial execution, authentication and delivery, the ownership of such Series 2018 DTC Bonds shall be registered in the bond register in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the Depository for the Series 2018 DTC Bonds. The Series 2018C-2 Bonds shall be initially executed and delivered in paper certificated form in a single denomination equal to the principal amount of Series 2018C-2 Bond authorized by Section 3.01(d) hereof and upon any subsequent transfer thereof shall be executed and delivered in paper certificated form in Authorized Denominations; provided, however, that if authorized by a Supplemental Indenture, said certificated Series 2018C-2 Bonds may be exchanged in whole (but not in part) for Series 2018C-2 Bonds registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC (upon which the Series 2018C-2 Bonds will be treated as Series 2018 DTC Bonds). The Trustee and the Authority may treat DTC (or its nominee) as the sole and exclusive Owner of the Series 2018 DTC Bonds registered in its name for the purposes of payment of the principal of and interest on the Series 2018 DTC Bonds, selecting the Series 2018 DTC Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, giving any notice permitted or required to be given to Owners of Series 2018 DTC Bonds under this Indenture, registering the transfer of Series 2018 DTC Bonds, obtaining any consent or other action to be taken by the Owner of Series 2018 DTC Bonds and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee nor the Authority shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Neither the Trustee nor the Authority shall have any responsibility or obligation to any Participant, any Person claiming a beneficial ownership interest in the Series 2018 DTC Bonds under or through DTC or any Participant, or any other Person, with respect to the accuracy of any records maintained by DTC or any Participant; the payment by DTC or any Participant of any amount in respect of the principal of or interest on the Series 2018 DTC Bonds; any notice that is permitted or required to be given to the Owners of the Series 2018 DTC Bonds under this Indenture; the selection by DTC or any Participant of any Person to receive payment in the event of a partial redemption of the Series 2018 DTC Bonds; or any consent given or other action taken by DTC (or its nominee) as the Owner of the Series 2018 DTC Bonds. So long as DTC (or its nominee) is the Owner of all Series 2018 DTC Bonds, the Trustee shall pay all principal of, and interest on, the Series 2018 DTC Bonds only to DTC, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the Authority’s obligations with respect to the principal of and interest on the Series 2018 DTC Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid and all notices required to be sent to the Owners may be sent by electronic means. Except under the conditions specified in subsection (b) of this Section, no Person other than DTC or its nominee shall receive

Page 340: Public Finance Authority

23

4133-8091-3168.14

authenticated Series 2018 DTC Bonds. Upon delivery by DTC to the Trustee of written notice to such effect, DTC may substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., or any successor nominee, and subject to the provisions herein with respect to record dates, the term “Cede & Co.” in this Indenture shall refer to such new nominee of DTC.

(b) If (i) DTC or any successor as Depository for the Series 2018 DTC Bonds determines not to continue to act as Depository for such Bonds or (ii) the Authority determines that the incumbent Depository for the Series 2018 DTC Bonds shall no longer so act, and the Authority delivers a Certificate of an Authorized Authority Representative to the Trustee to that effect, then the Authority shall discontinue the book-entry system with the incumbent Depository for the Series 2018 DTC Bonds. If the Authority determines to replace the incumbent Depository for the Series 2018 DTC Bonds with another Depository, the Authority shall prepare or direct the preparation of a new single, separate fully registered Series 2018 DTC Bond for the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Series 2018 DTC Bonds of each maturity to be registered in the name of such successor Depository, or its nominee, or make such other arrangements acceptable to the Authority, the Trustee and the successor Depository for the Series 2018 DTC Bonds as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture. If the Authority fails to identify a successor Depository for the Series 2018 DTC Bonds to replace the incumbent Depository, then the Series 2018 DTC Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the bond register in the name of the incumbent Depository or its nominee, but shall be registered in whatever name or names the incumbent Depository for the Series 2018 DTC Bonds, or its nominee, shall designate in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section. In such event the Authority shall, at its expense, prepare, execute and deliver a sufficient quantity of Series 2018 DTC Bonds to the Trustee for authentication and delivery at the Authority’s Direction to carry out the transfers and exchanges provided in this Section and Section 3.09. All such Series 2018 DTC Bonds shall be in fully registered form in Authorized Denominations.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, so long as any Series 2018 Bond is registered in the name of DTC, or its nominee, all payments with respect to principal of and interest on, such Series 2018 Bond, and all notices with respect to such Series 2018 Bond, shall be made and given, respectively, as appropriate or necessary with respect to the arrangements made with DTC relating to the Series 2018 Bonds.

(d) In connection with any notice or other communication to be provided to Owners of the Series 2018 DTC Bonds pursuant to this Indenture by the Authority or the Trustee with respect to any consent or other action to be taken by Owners of the Series 2018 DTC Bonds, the Authority or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall establish a record date for such consent or other action and give DTC notice of such record date not less than 15 calendar days in advance of such record date to the extent practicable.

(ii) Following payment in full of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds, the Series 2018B-1 Bonds are subject to redemption prior to maturity, pro rata, to the extent funds are available in the Turbo Redemption Account, without further direction by the Authority, in whole or in part, annually on January 1 of each year, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the Accreted Value or principal amount, as applicable, of the Series 2018B-1 Bonds to be redeemed in order of maturity and proportionately among Series 2018B-1 Bonds of the same maturity or sinking fund redemption.

(iii) Following payment in full of the Series 2018A-1 Bonds and the Series 2018B-1 Bonds, the Series 2018B-2 Bonds are subject to redemption prior to maturity, pro rata, to the extent funds are available in the Turbo Redemption Account, without further direction by the Authority, in whole or in part, annually on January 1 of each year, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the Accreted Value or principal amount, as applicable, of the Series 2018B-2 Bonds to be redeemed in order of maturity and proportionately among Series 2018B-2 Bonds of the same maturity or sinking fund redemption.

Such turbo redemptions may be in amounts less than $25,000 maturity amounts, but following redemption in part, Series 2018 Bonds remaining Outstanding shall be in Authorized Denominations

(e) Whenever by the terms of this Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture the Trustee is required or authorized to redeem Bonds other than at the option of the Authority, the Trustee shall select the Bonds to be redeemed by lot, give the notice of redemption and pay, out of moneys available therefor, the Redemption Price thereof, plus interest accrued and unpaid to the Redemption Date, to the Authority and to the Owners of Bonds to be redeemed in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and any Supplemental Indenture.

Section 4.04. Selection of Series 2018 Bonds to be Redeemed. If less than all of the Series 2018 Bonds subject to optional redemption are called for redemption, such redemption shall be applied first to the principal amount of all Outstanding Series 2018A-1 Bonds, then to the principal amount of all Outstanding Series 2018A-2 Bonds, then to the principal amount of all Outstanding

4133-8091-3168.14

Series 2018B-1 Bonds, then to the principal amount of all Outstanding Series 2018B-2 Bonds, then to the principal amount of all Outstanding Series 2018C Bonds, without differentiation by maturity or within a maturity.

After deducting therefrom the reasonable charges and expenses of the Trustee in connection with the collection of such moneys, moneys in the Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds Fund shall be disbursed or applied by the Trustee in accordance with and subject to Section 7.17.

(b) If pursuant to Section 7.17, the Available Amount (as such term is defined in Section 7.17(a)) is not to be applied to repair or replace the property damaged, destroyed or taken, the Trustee, upon a Request of the Authority, shall transfer amounts in the Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds Fund on account of such damage, destruction or condemnation to the Debt Service Fund in order to redeem the Bonds in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03(b).

(c) After completion of the repairs or replacement of the property damaged, destroyed or taken, and after all costs associated therewith have been paid, the Trustee shall deposit any amounts remaining in the Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds Fund into the Revenue Fund for application on the first Business Day of the next succeeding month in the manner set forth in Section 5.04.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 5.16(a), the proceeds of business interruption insurance maintained pursuant to Section 7.14(a)(ii) shall be deposited by the Trustee when and as received in a segregated account (the “Business Interruption Account”) within the Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds Fund, which Account shall be established by the Trustee upon receipt of notice that the carrier of such insurance will be paying claims thereon to the Trustee.

Amounts deposited in the Business Interruption Account shall be immediately transferred to the Revenue Fund and applied to make payments and transfers in the order of and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.04.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts required to be transferred pursuant to any given order of priority in this subsection (d) shall be reduced to the extent the insurance carrier has directly paid business interruption insurance proceeds to parties other than the Trustee for such purposes. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on a Direction, Request or Certificate of the Authority or the Operator, as applicable, in making the transfers set forth in this subsection.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if proceeds of insurance relate to any loss or damage to any property not constituting the Project, such proceeds shall be disbursed directly to the Persons legally entitled to such insurance proceeds.

Section 7.12. Compliance With Law; Maintenance of Permits.

(a) The Authority shall not knowingly fail to comply with any Applicable Laws, including the Act, which failure would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Authority’s performance of its obligations hereunder except those that shall be contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted by the Authority.

(b) The Operating Agreement will provide that the Operator will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Authority in (i) maintaining or causing to be maintained in full force and effect all Permits now held or hereafter acquired with respect to the Project, and (ii) performing, observing, fulfilling and complying (or causing the performance, observance, fulfillment and compliance of and with) all of the obligations, covenants and conditions contained in such Permits, provided that the provision for payment of the cost thereof has been made to the Operator’s satisfaction.

authority, but no obligation unless directed in writing to do so by the Controlling Party, to apply any amount deposited with the Trustee under this Indenture and available for such purpose to the payment of any unpaid Imposition to prevent the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Project, the Revenues or other assets pledged under this Indenture or any interest therein or part thereof for non-payment of such Imposition, if the Trustee reasonably believes that such sale, forfeiture or loss is threatened. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section to the contrary, the Operating Agreement will provide, in accordance with its terms, that the Operator will pay any Imposition that it might otherwise be entitled to contest if the Project, the Revenues or other assets pledged under this Indenture or any interest therein or any part thereof is in jeopardy or in danger of being sold, forfeited, foreclosed or otherwise lost.

To the extent of any loss or damage to or Taking of the Project only, the Authority hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Trustee as the Authority’s attorney-in-fact coupled with an interest to make the proof of loss, adjust and compromise any claim under insurance policies and to appear in and prosecute or defend any action arising from such insurance policies or any Taking (provided the Trustee shall have no obligation to take any such action). The Trustee shall be entitled to collect, and the Authority hereby assigns to the Trustee for deposit into the Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds Fund, all insurance proceeds or the proceeds of any award, payment or claim for damages, direct or consequential, in connection with any Taking of the Project and is further entitled to deduct therefrom the Trustee’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds (such proceeds after such deductions, the “Available Amount”).

(b) The Trustee shall cause the Available Amount to be disbursed in accordance with Section 5.15 to the cost of restoration and reconstruction of the Project at the Direction of the Operator so long as the Authority has certified in writing that the following conditions have been met: (i) no Event of Default then exists, (ii) the Available Amount together with all investment income earned or expected to be earned thereon and other proceeds deposited with the Trustee will be sufficient to restore the Project to its Pre-Existing Condition (as defined below), (iii) the Project can be restored and repaired as nearly as is reasonably practicable to the condition it was in immediately prior to a casualty in the case of any casualty or to a condition, in the case of any Taking, that permits the Project’s use in the manner contemplated by this Indenture and for which the Project was originally constructed, (the “Pre-Existing Condition”), (iv) the Authority and the Operator shall have each received and approved, in its reasonable judgment, plans and detailed specifications of the contemplated repair or restoration of the Project, together with a statement of an architect that the Project can be restored to its Pre-Existing Condition in the time and for the cost specified in such plans and specifications (provided that, in the event the Authority and the Operator have not both approved plans and detailed specifications, the plans and detailed specifications approved by either the Operator or the Authority and the architect shall be utilized), and (v) if more than 15% of the Project is damaged, destroyed or taken, the Authority shall have

Page 369: Public Finance Authority

52

4133-8091-3168.14

furnished to the Trustee a guaranteed maximum or fixed price contract for the restoration or repair of the Project to the Pre-Existing Condition for an amount not in excess of the Available Amount together with all investment income earned or expected to be earned thereon (provided the Trustee shall have no obligation to review such contract).

(c) Following a casualty loss or Taking affecting the Project, if the Available Amount together with all investment income earned or expected to be earned thereon is made available to the Authority for repair or restoration and is sufficient for such purpose, the Authority shall cause the restoration of the Project to substantially its Pre-Existing Condition or such other condition as the Controlling Party may acknowledge and consent to in writing, and the Authority shall cause the commencement of such restoration or repair as soon as practicable after the casualty loss or Taking and at all times thereafter the diligent prosecution thereof to completion. Subject to satisfaction of conditions set forth in Section 7.17(b) and provided that there no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing of which the Trustee has notice pursuant to Section 10.04, Trustee will disburse any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards collected by it in accordance with Section 5.15.

(d) Any amount of insurance proceeds remaining in the Trustee’s possession after full and final payment and discharge of all Bonds and this Indenture shall be transferred to the Authority or otherwise paid in accordance with Applicable Law. If the Project is sold at foreclosure or if the Trustee acquires title to the Project, the Trustee shall have all of the right, title and interest of Authority in and to any insurance policies and unearned premiums thereon, any proceeds, awards or damages arising from any Taking and in and to the proceeds resulting from any damage to Authority’s interest therein prior to such sale or acquisition.

(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.17(b), all condemnation proceeds resulting from a temporary Taking that are not attributable to compensation for alterations or physical damage to the real or personal property used in the operation of the Project shall be deemed Gross Operating Revenue and deposited in the Revenue Fund.

Section 7.18. Operation of the Project.

(a) Management of the Project. The Authority hereby covenants and agrees that it will at all times cause to be delegated the duties and responsibilities of operating the Project, pursuant to an Operating Agreement, to a management company having the experience and qualifications necessary to operate and manage a radiation cancer therapy center. The Authority shall cause to be in full force and effect at all times an Operating Agreement with respect to the Project with terms and conditions substantially the same as those of the initial Operating Agreement (except any changes required by Bond Counsel in order for Bond Counsel to deliver its opinion required by subsection (d) of this Section, or any changes that do not materially adversely affect the interest of the Owners of the Bonds). The Authority may amend, modify, waive or otherwise alter the Operating Agreement in compliance with the terms of such Operating Agreement without the prior written consent of the Trustee provided such amendment, modification or waiver does not materially adversely affect the interest of the owners of the Bonds. The Operating Agreement or any part thereof shall expressly permit the assignment of rights thereof pursuant to

Page 370: Public Finance Authority

53

4133-8091-3168.14

Section 5.01(b)(ii) hereof to the Trustee for the benefit of Owners and entitle the Trustee to the benefits thereof upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(b) Termination of Operating Agreement. (i) If the Project is foreclosed upon due to an Event of Default as set forth in Article IX hereof, the ability of the Trustee to terminate the Operating Agreement shall be subject to the terms contained in the Operating Agreement; provided the Trustee shall have no obligations with respect to the Operating Agreement and shall not be responsible for the payment of amounts outstanding under the Operating Agreement other than as directed in writing from the Controlling Party from amounts available therefor under the Indenture; and

(i) the Operating Agreement shall provide that it be terminable at the Direction of the Controlling Party, provided that a payment default on the Bonds has occurred and is continuing, and the Controlling Party has identified a replacement Operator acceptable to the Authority.

(c) Bond Opinion. Any Operating Agreement entered into by the Authority after initial issuance of the Series 2018 Bonds shall first require the written opinion of Bond Counsel that such Operating Agreement will not, in and of itself, result in the inclusion of interest on the Series 2018 Bonds in gross income for federal income tax purposes. Any amendment or extension of the Operating Agreement or change in the identity of the Operator shall require the written opinion of Bond Counsel that such amendment or extension of the Operating Agreement will not, in and of itself, cause the interest on any of the Series 2018 Bonds to become includible in gross income for federal income tax purposes.

Section 7.19. Budgets.

(a) Operating Plan and Budget. The Operating Agreement will provide that at least 60 days in advance of the beginning of each Operating Year, the Operator will prepare and deliver to the Trustee and the Authority the Proposed Budget Documents for the next ensuing Operating Year.

65

4133-8091-3168.14

have so appointed the Trustee) the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Owners of the Bonds, or on behalf of all Owners of the Bonds as a class, with respect to any proof of debt, amendment to proof of debt, petition or other document, and to do and perform any and all acts and things for and in the name of the Owners of the Bonds against the Authority allowed in any equity receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization or other proceedings to which the Authority shall be a party and to receive payment of or on account of such claims. Any such receiver, assignee, liquidator or trustee is hereby authorized by each of the Owners of the Bonds to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Owners of the Bonds, to pay to the Trustee and indemnify the Trustee for any amount due for compensation and expenses of the Trustee, including counsel fees, incurred up to the date of such distribution, and the Trustee shall have full power of substitution and delegation in respect of any such powers.

Section 9.08. Remedies Not Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or the Controlling Party is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or under the Bonds or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute, subject to the right of the Controlling Party to direct the remedies and the limitations on remedies for the benefit of the Owners of the Senior Bonds and the Subordinate Bonds set forth in Section 9.04.

Section 9.09. Limitation on Suits. All rights of action in respect of this Indenture shall be exercised only by the Trustee (excepting the Unassigned Rights, which may only be enforced by the Authority or the Authority Indemnified Persons, as the case may be), and the Owner of any Bond shall not have any right to institute any suit, action or proceedings at law or in equity for the appointment of a receiver or for any other remedy hereunder or by reason hereof, unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall have received a Request of the Controlling Party, and shall have been furnished reasonable indemnity and shall have refused or neglected for 30 days thereafter to institute such suit, action or proceedings, and no direction inconsistent with such Request has been given to the Trustee during such 30-day period by the Controlling Party. The making of such request and the furnishing of such indemnity shall in each and every case be conditions precedent to the execution and enforcement by any Owner of any Bond, if such Owners are then the Controlling Party, of the powers and remedies given to the Trustee hereunder and to the institution and maintenance by any such Owner of any action or cause of action for the appointment of a receiver or for any other remedy hereunder, but the Trustee may, in its discretion, and when duly requested in writing by the Controlling Party and when furnished indemnity satisfactory to protect it against expenses, charges and liability shall, subject to Section 9.04(d), take such appropriate action by judicial proceedings otherwise in respect of any existing default on the part of the Authority as the Trustee may deem desirable in the interest of the Controlling Party. The rights of the Owners under this Section are in all events subject to the provisions of Section 9.04.

Nothing contained in this Article shall affect or impair the right of any Owner of any Bonds, which shall be absolute and unconditional, to enforce the payment of the principal of, Redemption Price, if any, and interest on the Bonds of such Owner, but only out of the moneys for such payment as herein provided, or the obligation of the Authority, which shall also be absolute and

Page 383: Public Finance Authority

66

4133-8091-3168.14

unconditional, to make payment of the principal of, Redemption Price, if any, and interest on the Bonds, but only out of the funds provided herein for such payment, to the respective Owners thereof at the time and place stated herein.

Section 9.10. Right of Controlling Party to Direct Proceedings. Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture to the contrary other than as specifically set forth in Section 9.02, the Controlling Party shall have the right, at any time, by an instrument or instruments in writing executed and delivered to the Trustee, to direct the time, method and place of conducting all proceedings to be taken in connection with the enforcement of the terms and conditions of this Indenture, or for the pursuit or exercise of any remedy available to the Trustee or any trust or power conferred on the Trustee or any other proceedings hereunder; provided, that the Trustee shall have been satisfactorily indemnified and that such direction shall not be contrary to law or the provisions of this Indenture, and, unless such direction relates to the acceleration of all or a portion of the Bonds, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that the proceedings so directed would involve it in personal liability for which it has not received adequate indemnity. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, by their acceptance of the Subordinate Bonds and the Junior Bonds, the Beneficial Owners thereof shall have no right to object to any directions given by the Beneficial Owners of the Senior Bonds in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding, with any exercise of remedies (or lack of exercise of remedies) under this Article IX, or otherwise with respect to actions taken or not taken in response to an Event of Default, without limitation.

Section 9.11. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee, the Controlling Party or any Owner has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee, the Controlling Party or such Owner, then and in every such case, the Authority, the Trustee, the Controlling Party and the Owners shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee, the Controlling Party and the Owners shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 9.12. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. To the extent that it may lawfully do so, the Authority covenants that it will not at any time insist upon, plead or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of any stay or extension law, whenever or wherever enacted, which may affect the covenants under or the performance of this Indenture. The Authority also covenants that it will not otherwise hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee.

Section 9.13. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee, the Controlling Party or of any Owner to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default hereunder shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee, the Controlling Party or to the Owners may be executed from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee, the Controlling Party or by the Owners, as the case may be.

Section 10.04. Responsibilities of the Trustee.

(a) The recitals of fact herein and in the Bonds contained shall be taken as the statements of the Authority, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of any Bonds issued thereunder or as to the security afforded by this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not incur any liability in respect thereof; provided, however, that the Trustee represents and warrants that this Indenture is the valid and binding legal obligation of the Trustee enforceable against the Trustee in accordance with its terms. The Trustee shall, however, be responsible for its representations contained in any authentication on the Bonds. The Trustee shall not be under any responsibility or duty with respect to the application of any money paid to the Authority or money collected by the Authority prior to the delivery thereof to the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be under any obligation or duty to perform any act, whether requested by the Owners or otherwise, which would involve it in liability or to institute or defend any suit in respect hereof, or to advance any of its own money, unless it has been satisfactorily indemnified against such liability other than liability resulting from its negligence or willful misconduct. Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, the Trustee shall not be liable in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder except for its own negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as an ordinary prudent corporate trustee would exercise or use under the circumstances. Except for a default under Section 9.02(a) or (b), the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any default or Event of Default hereunder absent the receipt of written notice. The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any default or Event of Default hereunder except a default under Sections 9.02(a) or (b), unless the Trustee is specifically notified in writing of such default by the Authority or by the Owners of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding. All notices or other instruments required by this Indenture to be delivered to the Trustee must, to be effective, be delivered at the Principal Office of the Trustee, and in the absence of the notice so delivered, the Trustee may conclusively assume there is no default except as aforesaid. Any provision of this Indenture relating to action taken or to be taken by the Trustee or the evidence upon which the Trustee may rely shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

(c) The Trustee is not required to make any inquiry or investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture or other paper or document (other than to establish facial compliance with the format required by this Indenture) but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see

Page 386: Public Finance Authority

69

4133-8091-3168.14

fit and, if the Trustee determines to make such further inquiry or investigation, it is entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Authority, in person or by agent or attorney.

The Trustee’s immunities and protections from liability and its right to indemnification from the Authority from moneys available therefor under this Indenture in connection with the performance of its duties under this Indenture shall extend to the non-negligent acts and non-willful acts and actions taken on behalf of the Trustee by the Trustee’s officers, directors, agents, attorneys and employees. Such immunities and protections and right to indemnification, together with the Trustee’s right to compensation, shall survive the Trustee’s resignation or removal, the discharge of this Indenture and final payment of the Bonds.

(e) The permissive right of the Trustee to take the actions permitted by this Indenture shall not be construed as an obligation or duty to do so.

(f) Promptly after receiving appropriate notification thereof, at the cost of the Authority, the Trustee shall be responsible for sending notifications required to be sent to the Owners hereunder and requesting consents of the Owners when required hereunder.

(g) Except for information provided by the Trustee concerning the Trustee, the Trustee shall have no responsibility for any information in any offering memorandum or other disclosure material distributed with respect to the Bonds, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility for compliance with any state or federal securities laws in connection with the Bonds.

(h) It is expressly understood and agreed that the Trustee shall be under no liability of any kind or character whatsoever for the payment of any costs of the Project and that all such costs shall be paid from amounts held pursuant hereto for such purpose.

Section 10.05. Evidence on Which the Trustee May Act.

(a) The Trustee, upon receipt of any notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond, or other paper or document furnished to it pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, shall be protected in acting in good faith upon any such instrument believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and consented to by such other parties where required. The Trustee may consult with counsel, who may or may not be counsel to the Authority, or any Consultant, and the opinion of such counsel or Consultant, if selected with due care, shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by it under this Indenture in good faith and in accordance therewith.

(b) Whenever the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action under this Indenture, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be therein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively

Page 387: Public Finance Authority

70

4133-8091-3168.14

proved and established by a Certificate of the Authority, and such shall be full warrant by the Authority (subject to Section 13.17) for any action taken or suffered in good faith under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof; but in its discretion the Trustee may in lieu thereof accept other evidence of such fact or matter or may require such further or additional evidence as to it may seem reasonable.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture, any request, order, notice or other direction required or permitted to be furnished pursuant to any provision hereof by the Authority to the Trustee shall be sufficiently executed if executed in the name of the Authority by an Authorized Authority Representative.

(d) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereof and perform any of its duties by or through attorneys, receivers, agents or employees but shall not be answerable for the conduct of attorneys and receivers who have been selected by it with reasonable care, and may in all cases pay reasonable compensation to all attorneys, agents, receivers and employees as may reasonably be employed in connection with the trusts hereof, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it.

(e) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of the said trusts and powers or otherwise in respect of the premises.

(f) The Trustee shall be entitled to payment of and/or reimbursement for reasonable fees for its ordinary services rendered hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) and all advances, agent and counsel fees, and other ordinary expenses reasonably made or incurred by the Trustee in connection with such ordinary services and, if it should become necessary that the Trustee perform extraordinary services, it shall be entitled to reasonable extra compensation therefor and to reimbursement for reasonable extraordinary expenses in connection therewith; provided that if such extraordinary services or extraordinary costs and expenses are occasioned by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee, it shall not be entitled to compensation or reimbursement therefor. Upon an Event of Default, the Trustee shall have a first lien with right of payment before payment on account of principal of or interest on any Bond, upon all moneys in its possession under any provisions hereof for the foregoing reasonable advances, fees, costs and expenses incurred. The Trustee’s right to compensation and indemnification shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or its resignation or removal hereunder and payment in full of the Bonds.

Section 10.06. Certain Permitted Acts. The Trustee may become the Owner of any Bonds with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee. To the extent permitted by law, the Trustee may act as depository for, and may permit any of its officers or directors to act as a member of, or in any other capacity with respect to, any committee formed to protect the rights of Owners or to effect or aid in any reorganization growing out of the enforcement of the Bonds or this Indenture, whether or not any such committee shall represent the Owners of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding.

Such Supplemental Indenture or amendment to such Bond Document requiring the consent of all or any of the Owners will be effective when: (a) there shall have been filed with the Trustee the written consent of such Owners of the percentages of Outstanding Bonds specified in Section 11.02 required to consent to such amendment, and an opinion of Bond Counsel, to the effect that such Supplemental Indenture has been duly and lawfully entered into by the Authority in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, is valid and binding upon the Authority, is in accordance with this Indenture and will not, in and of itself, cause interest on any tax-exempt Bonds to be includible in gross income for federal income tax purposes; provided, that such opinion may take exception for limitations imposed by or resulting from bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and principles of government law and equity; and (b) a notice shall have been mailed as hereinafter in this Section provided. Each such written consent shall be effective only if accompanied by proof of the holding, at the date of such consent, of the Bonds with respect to which such consent is given, which proof shall be such as is permitted by Section 13.01. The Trustee may rely upon any such documentation received in accordance with Section 13.01. A certificate or certificates by the Trustee filed with the Trustee that it has received documentation in accordance with Section 13.01 shall be conclusive that the consents have been given by the Owners of the Bonds described in such certificate or certificates of the Trustee. Any such consent shall be binding upon the Owner of the Bonds giving such consent and, anything in Section 13.01

Page 393: Public Finance Authority

76

4133-8091-3168.14

to the contrary notwithstanding, upon any subsequent Owner of such Bonds and of any Bonds issued in exchange therefor (whether or not such subsequent Owner thereof has notice thereof) unless such consent is revoked in writing by the Owner of such Bonds giving such consent or a subsequent Owner thereof by filing such revocation with the Trustee prior to the time when the written statement of the Trustee hereinafter in this Section provided for is filed. The fact that a consent has not been revoked may likewise be proved by a Certificate of the Trustee to the effect that no revocation thereof is on file with the Trustee. At any time after the Owners of the required percentages of Bonds shall have filed their consents to the Supplemental Indenture or amendment to a Bond Document, the Trustee shall make and file with the Authority a written statement that the Owners of such required percentages of Bonds have filed such consents. Such written statement shall be conclusive evidence that such consents have been so filed. Upon receipt of the requisite consents, filing of the written statement of the Trustee required hereunder and the execution of such amendment by the parties thereto, notice, stating in substance that the Supplemental Indenture (which may be referred to as a Supplemental Indenture entered into by the Authority and the Trustee as of a stated date, a copy of which is on file with the Trustee) or other amendment to the Bond Documents has been consented to by the Owners of the required percentages of Bonds and will be effective as provided in this Section, shall be given by Trustee to Owners by mailing such notice to Owners immediately thereafter. Proof of the mailing of such notice shall be filed with the Trustee. A record, consisting of the papers required or permitted by this Section to be filed with the Trustee, shall be proof of the matters therein stated. Such Supplemental Indenture or amendment to a Bond Document making such amendment or modification shall be deemed conclusively binding upon the Authority, the agents and the Owners of all Bonds after the filing with the Trustee of the proof of the mailing of such last mentioned notice, except in the event of a final decree of a court of competent jurisdiction setting aside such Supplemental Indenture or amendment to a Bond Document in a legal action or equitable proceeding for such purpose commenced prior to such mailing; provided, that any agent and the Authority prior to such mailing and any such further period during which any such action or proceeding may be pending shall be entitled in their absolute discretion to take such action, or to refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Supplemental Indenture or amendment to a Bond Document as they may deem expedient.

Section 11.04. Amendment of Particular Bonds. The provisions of this Article shall not prevent any Owner from accepting any amendment as to the particular Bonds held by such Owner, provided that due notation thereof is made on such Bonds.

Section 11.05. Exclusion of Bonds. Bonds owned or held by or for the account of the Authority shall not be deemed Outstanding for the purpose of any consent or other action or any calculation of Outstanding Bonds provided for in this Article, and the Authority shall not be entitled with respect to such Bonds to give any consent or take any other action provided in this Article. At the time of any consent or other action taken under this Article, the Authority shall furnish the Trustee a certificate of an Authorized Authority Representative, upon which the Trustee may rely, describing all Bonds to be so excluded.

Section 11.06. General Provisions.

4133-8091-3168.14

(a) This Indenture and the Bond Documents shall not be modified or amended in any respect except as provided in, in accordance with and subject to provisions of this Article.

(b) Any Supplemental Indenture or amendment to a Bond Document referred to and permitted or authorized by Section 11.01 may be entered into by the Authority and the Trustee, as applicable, without the consent of any of the Owners, but shall become effective only (i) after the parties thereto have duly executed such Supplemental Indenture or Bond Document, (ii) following written notice of the proposed supplement or amendment provided to the Owners and (iii) if such Supplemental Indenture or amendment meets the conditions, and to the extent provided, in Section 11.01. Prior to entering into any Supplemental Indenture or amendment to a Bond Document, the Trustee shall receive an opinion of Bond Counsel, to the effect that such Supplemental Indenture or amendment to a Bond Document has been duly and lawfully entered into by the Authority in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, and is valid and binding upon the Authority, will not be materially adverse to the interests of the Owners and will not, in and of itself, cause the interest on any of the tax-exempt Bonds to be includible in gross income for federal income tax purposes.

Section 11.07. Notation on Bonds. Bonds authenticated and delivered after the effective date of any action taken as provided in this Article may, and, if the Trustee so determines shall, bear a notation by endorsement or otherwise in form approved by the Trustee as to such action, and in that case upon demand of the Owner of any Bond Outstanding at such effective date and presentation of such Owner’s Bond for the purpose at the Principal Office of the Trustee or other agent responsible for transferring Bonds or upon any transfer of any Bond Outstanding at such effective date, suitable notation shall be made on such Bond or upon any Bond issued upon any such transfer by the Trustee or other agent responsible for transferring Bonds as to any such action. If the Trustee shall so determine, new Bonds so modified as directed by the Trustee to conform to such action shall be prepared, authenticated and delivered, and upon demand of the Owner of any Bond Outstanding shall be exchanged, without cost to such Owner, for Bonds Outstanding, upon surrender of such Bonds, for Bonds of the same Series and maturity then Outstanding.

Section 11.08. Mailing. Any provision in this Article for the mailing of a notice or other instrument to Owners shall be fully complied with if it is mailed postage prepaid to each Owner of Bonds at the address, if any, appearing upon the Register and to the Trustee.

Page 395: Public Finance Authority

78

4133-8091-3168.14

instruments of similar tenor, and shall be signed or executed by such Owners in person or by their attorneys appointed in writing. Proof of the execution of any such instrument, or of an instrument appointing any such attorney, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture (except as otherwise herein expressly provided) if made in the following manner, or in any other manner satisfactory to the Trustee, which may nevertheless in its discretion require further or other proof in cases where it deems the same desirable:

(i) The fact and date of the execution by any Owner or such Owner’s attorney of such instruments may be proved by a guarantee of the signature thereon by a bank or trust company or member of a national securities exchange or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds, that the person signing such request or other instrument acknowledged the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness of such execution, duly sworn to before such notary public or other officer. Where such execution by an officer of a corporation or association or a member of a partnership, purports to be on behalf of such corporation, association or partnership, such signature guarantee, certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of such officer’s or member’s authority.

(ii) The amount of Bonds transferable by delivery held by any Person executing any instrument as an Owner, the date of such Person’s holding such Bonds, and the numbers and other identification of such Bonds, may be proved by a certificate, which need not be acknowledged or verified, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, executed by the Trustee or by a member of a financial firm or by an officer of a bank, trust company, insurance company or financial corporation or other depository wherever situated, showing at the date mentioned that such person exhibited to such member or officer or had on deposit with such depository the Bonds described in such certificate. Such certificate may be given by a member of a financial firm or by an officer of any bank, trust company, insurance company or financial corporation or depository with respect to Bonds owned by it, if acceptable to the Trustee. In addition to the foregoing provisions, the Trustee may from time to time make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable permitting other proof of holding of Bonds transferable by delivery.

(b) The ownership of Bonds and the amount, numbers and other identification, and date of holding the same shall be provided by the Registrar.

(c) Any request or consent by the Owner of any Bond shall bind all future Owners of such Bond in respect of anything done or suffered to be done by the Authority or any agent in accordance herewith.

(d) In determining whether the Owners of the requisite percentage of the Series of Bonds have been met for any request, consent, approval or other action required hereunder from such Owners, such requisite percentage shall be based upon the principal amount of all of the Bonds of such Series then Outstanding, excluding any Bonds then registered in the name of the Authority.

Section 13.02. Money Held for Particular Bonds. Subject to the provisions of Section 13.04, the amounts held by the Trustee for the payment of the interest or principal or Redemption Price due on any date with respect to particular Bonds shall, on and after such date

Section 13.03. Preservation and Inspection of Documents. All documents received by the Trustee under the provisions of this Indenture shall be retained in its possession and shall be subject at all reasonable times upon reasonable notice to the inspection of the Authority, and any Owner and their agents and their representatives, any of whom may make copies thereof at the expense of the party so requesting.

Section 13.05. Parties Interested Herein. Nothing in this Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed to confer upon, or to give to, any person, other than the Authority, the Trustee and the Owners, any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture or any covenant, condition or stipulation hereof or thereof; and all the covenants, stipulations, promises and agreements in this Indenture and each Supplemental Indenture contained by and on behalf of the Authority shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Authority, the Trustee and the Owners thereunto appertaining.

first have been adequately indemnified to its satisfaction against the cost, expense, and liability which may be incurred thereby.

The Authority covenants that it will faithfully perform at all times any and all covenants, undertakings, stipulations, and provisions expressly contained in this Indenture, and any and every Bond executed, authenticated and delivered hereunder; provided, however, that unless required by the express provisions of this Indenture, the Authority shall not be obligated to take any action or execute any instrument unless and until it shall have (i) been directed to do so in writing by the Trustee or the Owners having the authority to so direct; (ii) received from the Person requesting such action or execution assurance satisfactory to the Authority that the Authority’s expenses incurred or to be incurred in connection with taking such action or executing such instrument have been or will be paid or reimbursed to the Authority; and (iii) if applicable, received in a timely manner the instrument or document to be executed, in form and substance satisfactory to the Authority; provided nothing herein shall obligate the Trustee to pay or reimburse the Authority for any such expenses.

Whenever in this Indenture it is stated that the Authority shall “cause” another Person to take or omit any action, the Authority shall be entitled to rely conclusively, solely and entirely (and without independent investigation or verification) (i) on the faithful and timely performance by the Trustee of its obligations hereunder as Trustee, (ii) on the faithful and timely performance by the Operator of its obligations under the Operating Agreement, (iii) upon any written certification or opinion furnished to the Authority by the Trustee. In acting, or refraining from acting, under this Indenture, the Authority may conclusively rely on the advice of its counsel. The Authority shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under the Authority Documents that it reasonably believes to be unlawful or in contravention hereof or thereof. In respect of the foregoing, the Authority nevertheless covenants and agrees that it will not knowingly interfere with or prevent the Trustee or the Operator, as the case may be, from taking any action required hereby, nor knowingly require or seek to compel the Trustee or the Operator, as the case may be, to take any action prohibited hereby except in good faith and reasonably believing that such action or omission is in violation of the Trustee’s or the Operator’s duties and obligations under the respective Bond Documents to which each is a party.

Section 13.18. No Impairment of Rights. Nothing herein shall be deemed or construed to limit, impair or affect in any way the Authority’s (or any Authority Indemnified Person’s) exclusive right to enforce the Unassigned Rights or any action based thereon, and regardless of any waiver or forbearance granted by the Trustee or any Owner in respect thereof. Any default in respect of the Unassigned Rights may only be waived with the Authority’s written consent.

Grantor shall at its sole expense obtain for, deliver to and maintain for the benefit of Beneficiary, during the life of this Deed of Trust, insurance policies in such amount as the Bond Documents may reasonably require, insuring the Mortgaged Property against fire, extended coverage (non-reporting Commercial Property Policy with Special Cause of Loss Form covering the Mortgaged Property in an aggregate amount not less than 100% of the agreed full insurable replacement value of the Mortgaged Property), flood (if the Mortgaged Property is or will be located in a flood hazard zone) and such other insurable hazards, casualties and contingencies (including windstorm) as the Bond Documents may require, and shall pay promptly, when due, any premiums on such insurance policies and on any renewals thereof. The form of such policies, policy deductibles and the companies issuing them shall be in accordance with the requirements of the Bond Documents. All such policies and renewals thereof shall be held by Beneficiary, shall contain a non-contributory mortgagee endorsement making losses payable to Beneficiary and, during construction, shall be in non-reporting builder’s risk form so far as such policies relate to the Improvements. The coverage under such policies shall be limited to the Improvements now or hereafter located on the Mortgaged Property. At least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration date of all policies, renewals thereof shall be delivered to Beneficiary. Grantor shall deliver to Beneficiary receipts evidencing the payment of all premiums on such insurance policies and renewals within fifteen (15) days following written demand for same from Beneficiary. Delivery of the insurance policies and renewals thereof shall constitute an assignment to Beneficiary, as further security, of all unearned premiums. In the event of loss, Grantor will give immediate written notice to Beneficiary and Beneficiary may make proof of loss if not made promptly by Grantor. In the event of the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or any other transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property in extinguishment of the indebtedness and other sums secured hereby, all right, title and interest of Grantor in and to all insurance policies and renewals thereof then in force shall pass to the purchaser or grantee.

Grantor hereby assigns to Beneficiary all proceeds from any insurance policies, and Beneficiary is hereby authorized and empowered, at its option, to adjust or compromise any loss under any insurance policies on the Mortgaged Property, and to collect and receive the proceeds from any such policy or policies. Each insurance company is hereby authorized and directed to make payment for all such losses directly to Beneficiary alone, and not to Grantor and Beneficiary jointly. After deducting from such insurance proceeds any expenses incurred by Beneficiary in the collection or handling of such funds, Beneficiary may apply the net proceeds in accordance with the Indenture. Beneficiary shall not be responsible for any failure to collect any insurance proceeds due under the terms of any policy regardless of the cause of such failure.

Grantor shall at its sole expense obtain for, deliver to and maintain for the benefit of Beneficiary, during the life of this Deed of Trust, liability insurance policies relating to the Mortgaged Property, in such amounts, with such companies and in such form as may be required by the Bond Documents. Such policies shall contain an endorsement naming Beneficiary as an additional insured thereunder. Grantor shall pay promptly, when due, any premiums on such insurance policies and renewals thereof.

6. The Controlling Party (which term as used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Indenture) may, at its option, require Grantor to deposit with Beneficiary on the same day of each month for required payments of principal and interest, until the Bonds are fully paid, and in addition thereto, an amount equal to that portion of yearly taxes, assessments and other similar charges against the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof as estimated by Grantor to be sufficient to enable the payment of the same at least thirty (30) days before they become due and for the yearly premium for all insurance required to be maintained by Grantor hereunder. Such deposits shall not be, nor be deemed to be, trust funds, but may be commingled with the general funds of Beneficiary, and no interest shall be payable in respect thereof. Upon demand by Beneficiary, Grantor shall deliver to Beneficiary such additional moneys as are required to make up any deficiencies in the amounts necessary to enable the payment of such taxes, assessments, similar charges and insurance premiums. In the event of a default under any of the terms, covenants and conditions in the Bonds or the Indenture, this Deed of Trust or any other Bond Documents to be kept, performed or observed by Grantor, Beneficiary may apply to the reduction of the sums secured hereby, in such manner as Beneficiary shall determine, any amount under this Paragraph 6 remaining to Grantor’s credit. The amount of existing credit hereunder at the time of any transfer of the title to the Mortgaged Property shall, without any specific assignment thereof, inure to the benefit of the successor owner of the Mortgaged Property. Upon payment in full of the secured indebtedness, the amount of any unused credit shall be paid over to the owner of record as of the date of such full payment.

7. Notwithstanding any taking by eminent domain, alteration of the grade of any street or other injury to or decrease in value of the Mortgaged Property by any public or quasi-public authority or corporation, Grantor shall continue to make the regular payments of principal and/or interest as required by the Bonds and the Indenture and any other evidence of indebtedness secured hereby until the Bonds secured hereby are paid in full. Such award or payment may, subject to the provisions of the Indenture, be retained and applied by Beneficiary toward payment of the moneys secured by this Deed of Trust, or be paid over wholly or in part to Grantor for the purpose of altering, restoring or rebuilding any part of the Mortgaged Property which may have been altered, damaged or destroyed as a result of any such taking, alteration of grade, or other injury to the Mortgaged Property, or for any other purpose permitted under the Indenture. Nothing herein contained shall waive the right of Beneficiary to demand payment in full of all obligations hereby secured pursuant to Paragraph 19 hereof upon the occurrence of such taking.

8. Grantor shall preserve and maintain the Mortgaged Property in good condition and repair. Grantor shall not erect any building, structure or other improvement and shall not remove, demolish, materially alter or change the use of any building, structure or other improvement presently or hereafter on the Land without the prior written consent of Controlling Party. Grantor shall not permit, commit or suffer any waste, impairment or deterioration of the Mortgaged Property or of any part thereof, and will not take any action which will increase the risk of fire or other hazard to the Mortgaged Property or to any part thereof. Except as otherwise provided in this Deed of Trust, no material fixture, personal property or other part of the Mortgaged Property shall be removed, demolished or altered, without the prior written consent of Controlling Party, other than items which may become worn out, undesirable or obsolete provided that they

Page 448: Public Finance Authority

- 7 -

are replaced immediately with similar items of at least equal value which shall, without further action, become subject to the lien of this Deed of Trust. Grantor will promptly repair, restore, replace or rebuild any part of the Mortgaged Property now or hereafter subject to the lien of this Deed of Trust which may be damaged or destroyed by any casualty whatsoever or which may be affected by any proceeding of the character referred to in Paragraph 7. Beneficiary may enter upon and inspect the Mortgaged Property at any reasonable time during the life of this Deed of Trust.

9. Grantor will promptly comply with all present and future laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of any governmental authority affecting the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or its use and occupancy, including, without limitation, all applicable zoning requirements.

10. Grantor shall not sell, convey, transfer, lease or further encumber any legal or equitable interest in all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, without the prior written consent of Controlling Party unless expressly permitted under the Bond Documents, and any such sale, conveyance, transfer, lease or encumbrance made without Controlling Party’s prior written consent, to the extent required, shall be voidable at Beneficiary’s or Controlling Party’s option. For purposes of this Paragraph, sale of a majority of the stock of Grantor (if Grantor is a corporation) or of any corporate partner of Grantor (if Grantor is a partnership), sale of a majority of the membership interest (if Grantor is a limited liability company), or any change in the general partners of Grantor (if Grantor is a partnership), or a change in the beneficial ownership of Grantor, or a material change in the management of Grantor, shall be considered a conveyance of the Mortgaged Property. If any person should obtain any interest in all or any part of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the execution or enforcement of any lien, security interest or other right, whether superior, equal or subordinate to this Deed of Trust or the lien hereof, such event shall be deemed to be a transfer by Grantor.

11. Grantor shall notify Beneficiary promptly of the occurrence of any of the following: (a) fire or other casualty (including flooding) causing damage to the Mortgaged Property; (b) receipt of notice from any governmental authority relating to the structure, use, or occupancy of the Mortgaged Property; (c) receipt of any notice of alleged default from any tenant under any lease of the Mortgaged Property; (d) substantial change in the occupancy of the Mortgaged Property; (e) receipt of any notice of alleged default from the holder of any lien or security interest in the Mortgaged Property; or (f) commencement of any litigation affecting the Mortgaged Property.

12. Grantor shall pay or reimburse Beneficiary and Trustee for all costs, charges and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, disbursements and costs, incurred or paid by Beneficiary in any threatened, pending or completed action, proceeding or dispute in which Beneficiary or Trustee is or might be made a party or appears as a party plaintiff or party defendant and which affect the Bonds, this Deed of Trust or any other instrument securing the Bonds, or the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, or the interests of Grantor, Beneficiary or Trustee therein, including, but not limited to, the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, condemnation involving all or part of the Mortgaged Property or any action to protect the security hereof, including all appellate proceedings in connection with or

Page 449: Public Finance Authority

- 8 -

arising out of any of the foregoing. All costs, charges and expenses so incurred or paid by Beneficiary or Trustee shall become due and payable immediately, whether or not there be notice, demand, attempt to collect or suit pending. The amounts so incurred or paid by Beneficiary or Trustee, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate (defined in Paragraph 37 hereof) from the date incurred until paid by Grantor, shall be added to the indebtedness and secured by the lien of this Deed of Trust.

13. If Grantor defaults in the payment of any tax, assessment, encumbrance or other imposition, in its obligation to furnish insurance hereunder or in the performance or observance of any other covenants, condition or term in this Deed of Trust or in any Bond Document, and after expiration of any applicable cure period, Beneficiary may at its option perform or observe the same, and all payments made (whether such payments are regular or accelerated payments) and costs and expense incurred or paid by Beneficiary in connection therewith shall become due and payable immediately, whether or not there be notice or demand. The amounts so incurred or paid by Beneficiary, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate (defined in Paragraph 37 hereof) from the date incurred until paid by Grantor, shall be added to the indebtedness and secured by the lien of this Deed of Trust. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring Beneficiary to advance or expend monies for any purpose mentioned in this Paragraph, or for any other purpose. Beneficiary and Trustee are each hereby empowered to enter and to authorize others to enter upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof for the purpose of performing or observing any such defaulted covenant, condition or terms, without thereby becoming liable to Grantor or any person in possession holding under Grantor.

14. Intentionally Deleted.

15. Grantor, within ten (10) days after written request from Beneficiary, shall furnish a written statement, duly acknowledged, setting forth the unpaid principal of, and interest accrued on, the Bonds, and any other unpaid sums secured hereby, and whether or not any offsets or defenses exist against such principal and interest or other sums.

16. In addition to the lien on and security interest in the Realty and Improvements created hereby, this Deed of Trust shall, to the extent applicable, constitute a security agreement with respect to all personal property secured hereby and a fixture filing with respect to the fixtures secured hereby. In addition to any other rights and remedies provided herein or by law, Beneficiary shall be entitled to pursue any and all remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable statutes of the place or places where the Mortgaged Property is located, it being hereby agreed that (10) days’ notice as to the time and place of any sale shall be reasonable. No inference shall be drawn from the inclusion of any of the Mortgaged Property in a Financing Statement filed with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation that such property is considered by Beneficiary to be personalty as opposed to realty, Grantor hereby agreeing that in the event of uncertainty as to whether any portion of the Mortgaged Property is personalty or Realty, the presumption shall be that such item is Realty.

For the purpose of the fixture filing: The name of Grantor (as Debtor under any applicable Uniform Commercial Code) is: Debtor Name/Record Owner: Public Finance Authority 22 East Mifflin Street, Suite 900 Madison, WI 53703

The name and chief executive office of Beneficiary (as Secured Party) is: Secured Party Name: U.S. Bank National Association Two Midtown Plaza 1349 W. Peachtree Street NW Suite 1050 Atlanta, GA 30309

17. At any time and from time to time, as required by law or upon Beneficiary’s request, Grantor shall make, execute and deliver or cause to be made, executed and delivered to Beneficiary such deeds of trust, instruments, certificates and documents and, where appropriate, shall cause to be recorded or filed and from time to time thereafter to be re-recorded or refiled at such time and in such offices and places as shall be deemed desirable in order to effectuate, complete, enlarge or perfect, or to continue and preserve the obligations of Grantor under the Bonds and the Indenture and this Deed of Trust, and the lien of this Deed of Trust as a first and prior lien upon all of the Mortgaged Property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by Grantor.

18. This Deed of Trust constitutes an absolute and present assignment of the Leases and of the Rents and Profits and shall be fully operative without any further action on the part of either party. Beneficiary shall be entitled, at its option, upon the occurrence of a default hereunder which remains uncured beyond all applicable cure periods, to all Rents and Profits; provided, however, that so long as no default has occurred hereunder, Grantor is hereby given permission to collect, receive, take, use, and enjoy all such Rents and Profits as these come due and payable, but not in advance thereof. Upon any such default hereunder which remains uncured beyond all applicable cure periods, the permission hereby given to Grantor to collect such Rents and Profits shall terminate and such permission shall not be reinstated upon a cure of the default without Beneficiary’s specific consent. Beneficiary may exercise the rights herein granted upon notifying the tenants, purchasers or other obligors (the “Lessees”) in connection with the foregoing of the right of Beneficiary to receive such Rents and Profits, and shall instruct such Lessees to pay the same directly to Beneficiary without any consent from Grantor being required, a copy of this instrument and a statement by Beneficiary that the Deed of Trust is in default being sufficient notice to such Lessees of Beneficiary’s rights to collect the same. Neither

Page 451: Public Finance Authority

- 10 -

the exercise of any right under this Paragraph 18 by Beneficiary, nor the application of any such Rents and Profits to the indebtedness and other sums secured hereby, shall cure or waive any default or notice of default or invalidate any act pursuant hereto, but the rights herein granted shall be cumulative of all other rights and remedies.

Grantor covenants and agrees that it shall: (a) observe and perform all of its obligations with respect to the Leases including, without limitation, its obligations as lessor under any lease, as seller under any purchase and sale contract and any other obligations which it may have under any other contract or instrument pursuant to which it is entitled to receive Rents and Profits, and shall not do or permit to be done anything to impair Grantor’s right to receive the same; (b) enforce or secure the performance of, at its sole costs and expense, every obligation of all such Lessees to Grantor; (c) not collect any of the Rents and Profits herein assigned in advance of the time when the same become due under the terms thereof, other than in the ordinary course of Grantor’s business; (d) not waive or release any Lessee from his obligation under any Lease or other instrument evidencing same except in the ordinary course of Grantor’s business; and (e) except in accordance with the terms of the Ground Lease and this Deed of Trust, and in the ordinary course of Grantor’s business, not execute any other assignment thereof or alter, modify or change the terms of any such obligation or cancel, terminate, or accept the surrender of the same.

Should Grantor fail to make any payment or perform any obligation required pursuant to this Paragraph 18, and after expiration of any applicable cure period, Beneficiary may elect to make such payment or perform such obligation, in which event Grantor agrees to pay, immediately upon demand, all sums expended by Beneficiary in making such payment or performing such obligation, together with interest in an amount equal to the Default Rate (defined in Paragraph 37 hereof) from the date that such expense is incurred by Beneficiary to the date of payment to Beneficiary. Any amount so expended by Beneficiary, together with interest thereon as herein provided, shall constitute part of the indebtedness secured hereby.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Beneficiary shall not be obligated to perform or discharge, nor does it hereby undertake to perform or discharge, any obligation, duty or liability under any Lease, contract or other instrument and Grantor shall and does hereby agree to indemnify Beneficiary for and to hold Beneficiary harmless of and from any and all liability, loss or damage which it may or might incur under any of said Leases, contracts, or other instruments by reason of this assignment, and of and from any claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against it by reason of any alleged obligations or undertaking on its part to be performed or discharged pursuant to any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained herein. Any such liability, loss or damage, including costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in defending against any such claim, shall constitute part of the indebtedness secured hereby and Grantor shall reimburse Beneficiary therefor within fifteen (15) days following receipt of written demand, together with interest thereon, at the Default Rate (defined in Paragraph 37 hereof) from the date that such expense is incurred by Beneficiary to the date of payment of Beneficiary.

Grantor hereby represents, warrants and agrees that the assignment of Leases and Rents set forth in this Deed of Trust constitutes an interest created by deed assigning an interest in rents

or profits arising from property for purposes of Section 3-204, Real Property Article, Annotated Code of Maryland, as amended or replaced from time to time.

19. Beneficiary shall have the unconditional right, at its option, to require payment in full of all indebtedness secured hereby and to declare all such indebtedness immediately due and payable: (a) after default in the payment when due of any installment of principal and/or of interest under the Bonds; or (b) after default for fifteen (15) days after notice and demand in the payment of any tax, water rate or assessment delivered after same becomes due; or (c) after default for fifteen (15) days after notice and demand either in assigning and delivering the policies of insurance hereinbefore described or referred to or in reimbursing Beneficiary for premiums paid to obtain such insurance as herein provided; or (d) after default for fifteen (15) days after request in furnishing a statement of the amount due on the Deed of Trust and whether any offsets or defenses exist to the payment of all indebtedness secured hereby; or (e) after default for fifteen (15) days after notice and demand in the payment of any installment of any assessment for local improvements which may now or hereafter affect the Mortgaged Property and may be or become payable in installments; or (f) after default for fifteen (15) days after notice and demand in the repayment of any sum advanced by Beneficiary or Trustee to protect the security hereof; or (g) upon the actual or threatened waste, removal or demolition of, or material alteration to or enlargement of, any building or other improvement on the Mortgaged Property or upon the commencement of unpermitted construction of any new building(s) on any part of the Mortgaged Property; or (h) upon failure to keep in force the insurance required by Paragraph 5 above; or (i) upon the entry by any court of last resort of a decision that an undertaking by Grantor as herein provided to pay taxes, assessments, levies, liabilities, obligations and encumbrances is legally inoperative or cannot be enforced; or (j) after default for fifteen (15) days after notice and demand in the removal of any Federal tax lien on the Mortgaged Property; or (k) after default for fifteen (15) days after notice and demand in the observance or performance of any other covenant(s) or agreement(s) of Grantor hereunder or of Grantor or any Obligor under any of the Bond Documents; or (l) upon the election by Beneficiary to accelerate the maturity of said principal sum pursuant to the provisions of any other instrument which may be held by Beneficiary as additional security for the Bonds; or (m) after occurrence and continuance of a default, beyond all applicable cure periods under the Ground Lease, or any termination of the Ground Lease; or (n) after failure to comply within sixty (60) days with a requirement or order or notice of violation of a law or ordinance issued by any political subdivision or governmental department claiming jurisdiction over the Mortgaged Property or any operation conducted on the Mortgaged Property, or in the case of a noncompliance which cannot be cured or complied with within said period, then upon the failure of Grantor to commence to comply with said orders or notices within said period or thereafter diligently pursue such cure to completion; or (o) immediately upon the filing in any court of competent jurisdiction by the United States of America, or any instrumentality thereof, of any notice of intention to acquire under the power of eminent domain any estate in the Mortgaged Property, or upon the recording by the State of Maryland, or any instrumentality thereof, of a notice of taking of any estate in the Mortgaged Property; or (p) upon the issuance of any order by the State of Maryland, or any instrumentality thereof, any administrative board thereof or any department thereof, declaring unlawful or suspending the current operation of the Mortgaged Property if not resolved within thirty (30) days; or

Page 453: Public Finance Authority

- 12 -

(q) upon the filing by or against Grantor or any Obligor of any petition or application for relief, extension, moratorium or reorganization under any bankruptcy, insolvency or debtor’s relief law or law whereunder Grantor or any Obligor is making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or entering into any arrangement with creditors or becomes a party to any receivership proceeding; or (r) upon the transfer, lease, sale, pledge, hypothecation, or further encumbrance of the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof or of the rents and profits therefrom not expressly permitted by this Deed of Trust; or (s) upon the commencement of any suit against the Mortgaged Property upon any other claim or lien (whether superior or inferior to the lien of this Deed of Trust) if not dismissed within thirty (30) days, or in the event that any final judgment or lien (excluding a pledge of assets in the ordinary course of business) shall be entered or recorded against any of Grantor, any guarantor or any of their respective affiliates, and same is not satisfied, released or appealed within sixty (60) days; or (t) if there is any security instrument superior to this Deed of Trust, then upon the failure to pay when due any sums secured by or owing under said superior security instrument or the failure to abide by any other terms or provisions of said superior security instrument, or the modification of, or acceptance of any future or additional advance under, any such superior security instrument; or (u) upon determination by Beneficiary that any representation, warranty, or covenants made by Grantor or any Obligor or any other person in this Deed of Trust or in any other instrument or document executed in connection with this Deed of Trust, or in any certificate, agreement, affidavit or statement contemplated by, or made or delivered pursuant to, or in connection with, any such documents, is untrue or materially misleading; or (v) if Grantor, or any Obligor shall fail to pay when due any indebtedness for borrowed money owed by Grantor or such Obligor, or any interest or premium thereon, whether such indebtedness shall become due by scheduled maturity, required payment, acceleration, demand or otherwise unless waived in writing by the holder or holders of the indebtedness within thirty (30) days of a default thereunder; or (w) if Grantor or Obligor shall fail to abide by any term, covenant, or agreement under any agreement or instrument evidencing, securing or relating to any indebtedness for borrowed money owing by Grantor or such Obligor, if the effect of such failure is to accelerate, or permit the holder or holders to accelerate, the maturity of such indebtedness, unless waived in writing by the holder or holders of the indebtedness within thirty (30) days of a default thereunder; or (x) if Grantor shall grant any lien or mortgage on the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof junior to this Deed of Trust (or make any further assignment of the Leases and rentals assigned hereby) without first obtaining Beneficiary’s prior written consent; or (y) upon the death or incapacity of any Obligor and the failure of Grantor to provide Beneficiary with a substitute therefor acceptable to Controlling Party in Controlling Party’s sole and absolute discretion within ninety (90) days; or (z) any Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) occurs. The occurrence of any of the foregoing events is hereafter referred to as “Event of Default”. No consent or waiver, express or implied, by Beneficiary to or of any default by Grantor hereunder shall be construed as a consent or waiver to or of any further default of the same or any other term, covenant, condition or provision hereof, or of or under any other course of conduct or in any other manner whatsoever except by a writing duly executed by Beneficiary and then only to the single occasion to which such writing is addressed. In order to accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness secured hereby because of the failure of Grantor to pay any tax, assessment, premium, charge, liability, obligation or encumbrance upon the Mortgaged

Page 454: Public Finance Authority

- 13 -

Property as herein provided, it shall not be necessary or required that Beneficiary first pay the same.

20. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficiary may, or Beneficiary acting by or through Trustee may, either with or without entry or taking possession as hereinabove provided or otherwise, proceed by suit or suits at law or in equity or by any other appropriate proceeding or remedy: (a) to enforce payment of the Bonds or the performance of any term hereof or any other right; (b) to foreclose this Deed of Trust and to sell, as an entirety or in separate lots or parcels, the Mortgaged Property, under the judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction; and (c) to pursue any other remedy available to it. Beneficiary or Trustee shall take action either by such proceedings or by exercise of its powers with respect to entry or taking possession, or both, as Beneficiary may determine. If any of the proceeds of the indebtedness evidenced by the Bonds have not been disbursed, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficiary shall have the absolute right to refuse to disburse any such proceeds.

21. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Trustee or Beneficiary may institute foreclosure proceedings, and Grantor assents to the passage of a decree for the sale of the Mortgaged Property and further authorizes Trustee to sell the Mortgaged Property. Any sale of the Mortgaged Property, or a portion thereof, whether by way of the assent to decree or power of sale, shall be made in accordance with the provisions of (i) Sections 7-105 through 7-105.14, Real Property Article, Annotated Code of Maryland, as amended or replaced from time to time, (ii) Rules 14-101 and 14-201 through 14-218 of the Maryland Rules, as amended or replaced from time to time and (iii) other applicable general or local laws of the State of Maryland or judicial rules of procedure relating to the foreclosure of deeds of trust. The terms of the sale may be cash upon settlement of the sale or upon such other and additional terms as Trustee deems necessary, proper or convenient, except as specifically limited by applicable law or court rule. Such sale may be of the entire Mortgaged Property as a unit or of such parts or parcels of the entire Mortgaged Property as Trustee, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems necessary, proper, or convenient. If Trustee deems it best for any reason to postpone or continue the sale at any time or from time to time, it may do so, in which event Trustee shall conduct the postponed sale in the same manner as the original sale provided for in this Deed of Trust. In the event of a sale of the Mortgaged Property under either the power of sale or assent to decree, such sale may be made, at the option of Beneficiary, subject to one or more of the tenancies entered into subsequent to the recording of this Deed of Trust, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7-105.6(c), Real Property Article, Annotated Code of Maryland, as amended or replaced from time to time. If the Mortgaged Property shall be advertised for sale as herein provided, and not sold, Trustee shall be entitled to a commission on the total amount of the indebtedness, principal and interest, remaining unpaid, equal to one-half of the percentage allowed as commission to trustees making a sale under a decree of a Maryland court exercising its equity jurisdiction or as otherwise allowed by applicable law, plus attorney’s fees incurred by Trustee. In the event of a foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property, the proceeds of said sale shall be applied, unless applicable statutes shall specify otherwise, first, to the expenses of such sale and of all proceedings in connection therewith, including attorneys’ and trustees’ fees equal to the commission allowed Trustee for making sales of property by virtue of a decree of a Maryland court exercising equity jurisdiction or as otherwise allowed by applicable law, then to insurance premiums, liens, assessments, taxes and utility charges including such charges advanced by

Page 455: Public Finance Authority

- 14 -

Beneficiary, then to interest at the Default Rate until final ratification of the final auditor’s account in the foreclosure proceeding, then to payment of any other sums required to be paid pursuant to any provisions of the Bond Documents, whether the same shall have matured or not, and finally the remainder, if any, shall be paid to Grantor or as otherwise may be judicially determined or required by the provisions of applicable law. Pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code, Trustee is expressly authorized and empowered to expose to sale and sell, together with the Realty and Improvements, any portion of the Mortgaged Property which constitutes Personal Property under the Maryland Uniform Commercial Code. If Personal Property is sold hereunder, it need not be at the place of sale.

22. If an Event of Default has occurred, Beneficiary, to the extent permitted by law and without regard to the value or occupancy of the security, shall be entitled as a matter of right if it so elects to the appointment of a receiver to enter upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property and to collect all rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits thereof and apply the same as the court may direct. The receiver shall have all rights and powers permitted under the laws of the state where the Land is located and such other powers as the court making such appointment shall confer. The expenses, including receiver’s fees, attorneys’ fees, costs and agent’s compensation incurred pursuant to the powers herein contained shall be secured by this Deed of Trust. The right to enter and take possession of and to manage and operate the Mortgaged Property, and to collect the rents, issues and profits thereof, whether by a receiver or otherwise, shall be cumulative to any other right or remedy hereunder or afforded by law, and may be exercised concurrently therewith or independently thereof. Beneficiary shall be liable to account only for such rents, issues and profits actually received by Beneficiary, whether received pursuant to this Paragraph or any other provision hereof. Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver or other custodian, Beneficiary shall be entitled as pledgee to the possession and control of any cash, deposits, or instruments at the time held by, or payable or deliverable under the terms of this Deed of Trust to, Beneficiary.

23. Beneficiary and Trustee shall have the power and authority to institute and maintain any suits and proceedings as Beneficiary or Trustee may deem advisable: (a) to prevent any impairment of the Mortgaged Property by any acts which may be unlawful or any violation of this Deed of Trust; (b) to preserve or protect its interest in the Mortgaged Property; and (c) to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement of or compliance with such enactment, rule or order might impair the security hereunder or be prejudicial to Beneficiary’s interest.

24. No delay or omission of Beneficiary or of any holder of the Bonds to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to waive any such Event of Default or to constitute acquiescence therein. Every right, power and remedy given to Beneficiary may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Beneficiary.

25. If Beneficiary: (a) grants forbearance or an extension of time for the payment of any sums secured hereby; (b) takes other or additional security for the payment thereof;

Page 456: Public Finance Authority

- 15 -

(c) waives or does not exercise any right granted in the Bonds, this Deed of Trust or any other Bond Document; (d) releases any part of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of this Deed of Trust or any other instrument securing the Bonds; (e) consents to the filing of any map, plat or replat of the Land; or (f) consents to the granting of any easement on the Land, no such act or omission shall release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability under the Bonds, this Deed of Trust or otherwise of Grantor, or any subsequent purchaser of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor. No such act or omission shall preclude Beneficiary from exercising any right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in case of any Event of Default then existing or of any subsequent Event of Default nor, except as otherwise expressly provided in an instrument or instruments executed by Beneficiary, shall the lien of this Deed of Trust be altered thereby. In the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law or otherwise of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, Beneficiary, without notice to any person, firm or corporation, is hereby authorized and empowered to deal with any such vendee or transferee with reference to the Mortgaged Property or the indebtedness secured hereby, or with reference to any of the terms or conditions hereof, as fully and to the same extent as it might deal with the original parties hereto and without in any way releasing or discharging any of the liabilities or undertakings hereunder.

26. If Beneficiary or Trustee has proceeded to enforce any right or remedy under this Deed of Trust by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to Beneficiary and/or Trustee, then, at the option of Beneficiary, Grantor, Beneficiary and Trustee shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, powers and remedies of Beneficiary and Trustee shall continue as if no such proceeding had occurred or had been taken.

27. No right, power or remedy conferred upon or reserved to Beneficiary by the Bonds, the Indenture, this Deed of Trust or any other Bond Document is exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy given hereunder or under the Bonds, the Indenture or any other Bond Document, or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute.

28. This Deed of Trust is also given to secure Additional Bonds (as defined in the Indenture), made under the Indenture, to the same extent as if such Additional Bonds were made on the date of the execution of this Deed of Trust. The total amount of indebtedness that may be so secured may decrease or increase from time to time, but the total unpaid balance so secured at one time shall not exceed such limit provided under the Indenture, plus interest thereon, and any disbursement made for the payment of taxes, levies or insurance on the Mortgaged Property, with interest on such disbursements at the Default Rate (defined in Paragraph 37 hereof). Grantor hereby agrees that the Mortgaged Property shall secure any and all Additional Bonds.

29. If as a part of the inducement to issue the Bonds and for Beneficiary to act as trustee for the Bonds, Grantor has caused certain other persons, firms or corporations to enter into certain guaranty agreements with Beneficiary guaranteeing the obligations of

Page 457: Public Finance Authority

- 16 -

Grantor, Grantor covenants and agrees that such persons, firms or corporations shall fully perform, comply with and abide by such agreements. It is further understood and agreed by Grantor that such representations and agreements by such other persons, firms and corporations shall constitute, for the purpose of its obligations hereunder, covenants on behalf of Grantor.

30. Grantor shall not, at any time during the life of this Deed of Trust and so long as any of the indebtedness secured hereby remains outstanding, make any loans or advances to any parties related or affiliated with Grantor.

31. Grantor shall not, at any time during the life of this Deed of Trust and so long as any of the indebtedness secured hereby remains outstanding, incur any additional indebtedness relating to the Mortgaged Property, excepting (i) Additional Bonds or other Indebtedness permitted under the Indenture and (ii) unsecured trade debt incurred by Grantor in the ordinary course of business.

32. In the event of a conflict between the terms hereof and the Bonds and the Indenture or any other Bond Document, the terms of the Indenture shall control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Beneficiary shall not take any action in violation of any of the terms of the Indenture or any other Bond Document.

33. Whenever one of the parties hereto is named or referred to herein, the heirs, successors and assigns of such party shall be included and all covenants and agreements contained in this Deed of Trust, by or on behalf of Grantor, Beneficiary or Trustee, shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective heirs, successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

34. Any notice, report, demand or other instrument authorized or required to be given or furnished under this Deed of Trust to Grantor, Beneficiary or Trustee shall be deemed given or furnished when addressed to the party intended to receive the same, at the address of such party on the first page hereof, and delivered at such address or deposited in the United States mail as first class registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage pre-paid. Service shall be deemed complete on the date of actual delivery as shown by the addressee’s registry or certification receipt or at the expiration of the fifth (5th) business day after the date of mailing, whichever is earlier in time. Either party may change the address to which any such notice, report, demand or other instrument is to be delivered or mailed, by furnishing written notice in accordance herewith of such change to the other party, but no such notice of change shall be effective unless and until received by such other party.

35. In the event that any of the covenants, agreements, terms or provisions contained in the Bonds, the Indenture, this Deed of Trust or any other Bond Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity of the remaining covenants, agreements, terms or provisions contained herein and in the Bonds, the Indenture and any other Bond Document shall be in no way affected, prejudiced or disturbed thereby.

36. Neither this Deed of Trust nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, or by any action or inaction, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. Any agreement hereafter made by Grantor and Beneficiary relating to this Deed of Trust shall be superior to the rights of the holder of any intervening lien or encumbrance.

37. The Default Rate shall be the lesser of (i) the default rate specified in the Indenture or (ii) the maximum interest rate per annum permitted by applicable law at the time of default, or, in the absence of a law limiting the maximum rate of interest after default, twenty-five percent (25%) per annum.

38. In addition to the obligations described above (as evidenced by the Bonds or otherwise), this Deed of Trust is given to secure any and all obligations from Grantor to Beneficiary arising by virtue of any security agreement, promissory note, guarantee or other agreement between Grantor and Beneficiary in connection with the Mortgaged Property and for all obligations of Grantor to Beneficiary, contingent or absolute, direct or indirect, regardless of however or whenever created.

39. Grantor (if a corporation, partnership, or other business entity) represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its creation, and has all requisite power and authority (corporate or otherwise) to conduct its business, to own its properties, and to execute and deliver, and to perform all of its obligations under this Deed of Trust, the Bonds and any other instrument evidencing and/or securing the indebtedness secured hereby. The execution, delivery and performance of this Deed of Trust, the Bonds secured hereby, and each and every Bond Document have been duly authorized by all necessary action (corporate or otherwise) and do not (i) require any consent or approval of its stockholders (if a corporation) or any other person or entity which has not been obtained; (ii) violate any provisions of any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award having applicability to Grantor or any other person executing and delivering such instrument, Bonds or other document; or (iii) result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any indenture or loan agreement, mortgage, or any other agreement, lease or instruments to which Grantor or such other person or entity is a party or by which it or its properties may be bound or affected. This Deed of Trust, the Bonds and all other documents being executed in connection herewith constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Grantor, and any other person executing the same, as the case may be, enforceable against it or them in accordance with their respective terms.

40. Beneficiary and Trustee are hereby subrogated to the lien and to the rights of the owner and holder thereof of each and every mortgage, lien or other encumbrance on the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, which is paid or satisfied, in whole or in part, out of the proceeds of the indebtedness secured hereby, and the respective liens of said mortgage, liens or other encumbrances shall be preserved and shall pass to and be held by Beneficiary and Trustee as security for the indebtedness secured hereby to the same extent as if they had been duly assigned by separate instrument of assignment and notwithstanding the fact that the same shall be cancelled and satisfied of record.

Page 459: Public Finance Authority

- 18 -

41. That acceptance by Beneficiary of any payment which is less than full payment of all amounts due and payable at the time of such payment, even if made by one other than the Obligor, shall not constitute a waiver of Beneficiary’s right to exercise its option to declare the whole of the principal sum then remaining unpaid, together with all accrued interest thereon, immediately due and payable without notice or to exercise any other rights of Beneficiary except and as to the extent otherwise provided by law or this Deed of Trust.

42. Grantor consents to any and all renewals and extensions in the time of payment of the secured indebtedness, and agrees further that, at any time and from time to time without notice to any person, the terms of payment provided for in the Bonds may be modified or the security described in this Deed of Trust (or any other collateral which may be held by Beneficiary) may be released (in whole or in part) or increased, changed or exchanged by agreement between Beneficiary and any owner of the Mortgaged Property affected by this Deed of Trust without in anywise affecting the liability of any party to the Bonds, or any person liable or to become liable with respect to the secured indebtedness. Grantor agrees that no sale of the Mortgaged Property, no forbearance on the part of Beneficiary and no extensions, whether oral or writing, of the time for the payment of the whole or any part of the obligations hereby secured (or secured by any other collateral which may be held by Beneficiary), or any other indulgence given by Beneficiary, whether with or without consideration, shall operate to relieve, or, in any manner, affect the original liability of Grantor or the priority of this Deed of Trust or to limit, prejudice or impair any right of Beneficiary, notice of any such extension, indulgence and forbearance being hereby waived by Grantor (and by any guarantors, endorsers or other persons liable or who may become liable for payment of all or any portion of the indebtedness secured hereby) and all those claiming by, through and under Grantor. It is expressly agreed that any release or releases may be made by Beneficiary or Trustee without the consent or approval of any other person or persons whomsoever.

43. If Grantor shall, with the duly issued prior written consent of Controlling Party, grant any lien or mortgage on the Mortgaged Property junior to this Deed of Trust, such junior lien or mortgage shall be subject to, in addition to all tenancies now or hereafter affecting the Mortgaged Property, all such renewals and extensions, modifications, releases, increases, increases in interest rate, future advances, changes or exchanges to the Bonds and this Deed of Trust as Grantor and Beneficiary may agree upon or as may be provided herein, without joinder or consent of such junior lien or mortgage holder, and without an obligation on Beneficiary’s or Trustee’s part to give notice of any kind thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantor will not suffer or permit any act or omission whereby any of the Mortgaged Property shall become subject to any attachment, judgment, lien, charge or other encumbrances whatsoever or whereby any of the security represented by this Deed of Trust shall be impaired or threatened. Grantor will not directly or indirectly do anything or take any action which might prejudice any of the rights, titles or interests of Beneficiary or Trustee in or to any of the Mortgaged Property and/or impose or create any direct or indirect obligation or liability on the part of Beneficiary or Trustee with respect to any of the Mortgaged Property. If any such attachment, judgment, lien, charge or other encumbrance is filed against the Mortgaged Property, or any portion

Page 460: Public Finance Authority

- 19 -

thereof, Grantor shall cause the same to be immediately discharged or otherwise bonded or transferred to other security.

44. Beneficiary does not intend to violate any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, all agreements between Grantor and Beneficiary are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement of the proceeds hereof, acceleration of maturity of the unpaid principal balance hereof, or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Beneficiary for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be advanced hereunder (including all interest on the Bonds, any fees payable in connection herewith, and the aggregate of all other amounts taken, reserved or charged pursuant to the Bonds, the Indenture, this Deed of Trust, or any Bond Document, which, under applicable laws is or may be deemed to be interest) exceed the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any obligation hereof or of the Bonds or any Bond Document, at the time performance of such obligation shall be due, shall cause the effective rate of interest upon the sums evidenced by the Bonds or hereby to exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced automatically to the extent necessary to prevent that effective rate of interest from exceeding the maximum rate allowable under applicable law and to the extent that Beneficiary shall receive any sum which would constitute excessive interest, such sum shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal due hereunder and not to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal, the excess shall be refunded to Grantor. This provision shall control every other provision of all agreements between Grantor and Beneficiary. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit any rights, powers or privileges which Beneficiary may have by reason of its being a national banking association pursuant to any law of the United States of America or any rule, regulation or order of any departments or agency thereof and nothing herein shall be deemed to make unlawful any transaction or conduct by Beneficiary which is lawful pursuant to, or which is permitted by, any of the foregoing.

45. Grantor represents, warrants and covenants that Grantor has not used Hazardous Materials (as hereinafter defined), on, from, or affecting the Mortgaged Property in any manner which violates federal, state, or local laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or policies governing the use, storage, treatment, transportation, manufacture, refinement, handling, production or disposal of Hazardous Materials, and, to Grantor’s knowledge, no prior owner of the Mortgaged Property or any tenant, subtenant, prior tenant or prior subtenant has used Hazardous Materials, on, from, or affecting the Mortgaged Property, in any manner which violates federal, state or local laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, or policies governing the use, storage, treatment, transportation, manufacture, refinement, handling, production or disposal of Hazardous Materials. Grantor shall keep or cause the Mortgaged Property to be kept free of Hazardous Materials. Without limiting the foregoing, Grantor shall not cause or permit the Mortgaged Property to be used to generate, manufacture, refine, transport, treat, store, handle, dispose, transfer, produce or process Hazardous Materials, except in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations, nor shall Grantor cause or permit, as a result of any intentional or unintentional act or omission on the part of Grantor or any tenant or subtenant, a release of Hazardous Materials onto the Mortgaged Property or onto any other property. Grantor shall

Page 461: Public Finance Authority

- 20 -

comply with and ensure compliance by all tenants and subtenants with all applicable federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, whenever and by whomever triggered, and shall obtain and comply with any and all approvals, registrations or permits required thereunder. Grantor shall (a) conduct and complete all investigations, studies, sampling and testing, and all remedial, removal, and other actions necessary to clean up and remove all Hazardous Materials, on, from, or affecting the Mortgaged Property (i) in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, and policies; (ii) to the satisfaction of Beneficiary; and (iii) in accordance with the orders and directions of all federal, state and local governmental authorities, and (b) defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Beneficiary, Trustee and their respective employees, agents, officers, and directors, from and against any claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs, or expenses of whatever kind or nature, known or unknown, contingent or otherwise, arising out of, or in any way related to (i) the presence, disposal, release, or threatened release of any Hazardous Materials which are on, from, or affecting the soil, water, vegetation, building, personal property, persons, animals, or otherwise; (ii) any personal injury (including wrongful death) or property damage (real or personal) arising out of or related to such Hazardous Materials; (iii) any lawsuit brought or threatened, settlement reached, or government order relating to such Hazardous Materials; and/or (iv) any violation of laws, orders, regulations, requirements, or demands of governmental authorities, or any policies or requirements of Beneficiary, which are based upon or in any way related to such Hazardous Materials, including, without limitation, attorneys and consultant fees, investigation and laboratory fees, court costs, and litigation expenses. In the event this Deed of Trust is foreclosed, or Grantor tenders a deed in lieu of foreclosure, Grantor shall deliver the Mortgaged Property to Beneficiary free of any and all Hazardous Materials so that the condition of the Mortgaged Property shall conform with all applicable federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules or regulations affecting the Mortgaged Property. For purposes of this Paragraph, “Hazardous Materials” includes, without limitation, any flammable explosives, radioactive materials, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, hazardous or toxic substances, or related materials defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (42 U.S.C. Sections 9601, et seq.), the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. Sections 1801, et seq.), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended (42 U.S.C. Sections 2901, et seq.), and in the regulations adopted and publications promulgated pursuant thereto, or any other federal, state or local environmental laws, ordinances, rules, or regulations. The provisions of this Paragraph shall be in addition to any and all obligations and liabilities Grantor may have to Beneficiary at common law, and shall survive the transactions contemplated herein. Beneficiary or Trustee, in their respective sole discretion, in the event of any Event of Default under this Deed of Trust, may inspect the Mortgaged Property or retain others to inspect the Mortgaged Property and conduct whatever tests Beneficiary and/or Trustee deems necessary to insure Grantor is in compliance with the warranties, covenants and representations contained in this Paragraph. In the event Beneficiary ascertains, with or without an inspection of the Mortgaged Property, that there are any violations of any warranties or covenants contained in this Paragraph or that any of Grantor’s representations contained herein are inaccurate, then Beneficiary may, or may direct Trustee to, foreclose this Deed of Trust, although Beneficiary shall be under no obligation to do so, or

Page 462: Public Finance Authority

- 21 -

Beneficiary may pursue any other remedies provided under the Bond Documents which Beneficiary is entitled to pursue as a result of a violation of the warranties and covenants of this Paragraph or as a result of any inaccurate or false representations contained in this Paragraph. For the purposes of this Deed of Trust, whenever a statement or representation herein is qualified as to Grantor’s “knowledge”, the term “knowledge” shall mean the actual knowledge of the Designated Agent (as defined in the Indenture) relying solely upon the statements or representations of others, including the Lessor, without independent investigation or inquiry.

46. Beneficiary and Trustee shall each have the right, at any time or from time to time, to order an appraisal of the Land and Improvements (hereinafter collectively called the “Appraised Mortgaged Property”) at the expense of Grantor; provided, however, that in no event shall Grantor be obligated to pay for more than one (1) appraisal of the Appraised Mortgaged Property in any twenty-four (24) month period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred hereunder, Grantor shall be obligated to pay for all appraisals of the Appraised Mortgaged Property ordered by Beneficiary or Trustee, but no more than one (1) appraisal of the Appraised Mortgaged Property in any twelve (12) month period. Such an appraisal (hereinafter called “Beneficiary’s Appraisal”) shall be rendered by a Maryland state-certified appraiser selected by Grantor and shall comply with the appraisal standards set forth in Section 34.44(a) of Subpart C of Part 34 of Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations, as determined by Grantor. The Beneficiary’s Appraisal will be addressed to Beneficiary and will constitute Beneficiary’s property. If the Beneficiary’s Appraisal is approved by Controlling Party, and provided that Grantor has remitted payment in full for the Beneficiary’s Appraisal, Beneficiary will provide Grantor with a copy of such Beneficiary’s Appraisal. Grantor hereby agrees to grant Beneficiary’s appraiser prompt access to the premises to be appraised, copies of all documents or other information requested by the appraiser, and to cooperate with the appraiser in the preparation of his appraisal report.

47. With respect to the Ground Lease, Grantor hereby warrants and represents as follows: (i) the Ground Lease, to Grantor’s knowledge, is in full force and effect, unmodified by any writing or otherwise that has not previously been provided to Beneficiary; (ii) all rent, additional rent and other charges reserved therein have been paid to the extent they are payable to the date hereof; (iii) Grantor enjoys the quiet and peaceful possession of the property demised thereby with the exception of those units which have been sold or subleased by Grantor; (iv) Grantor is not in default under any of the terms of the Ground Lease, to Grantor’s knowledge, and there are no circumstances which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute a default or event of default thereunder; (v) to Grantor’s knowledge, Lessor is not in default under any of the terms or provisions of the Ground Lease; and (vi) no term, covenant or provision of the Ground Lease prohibits or imposes any limitation upon the grant and demise of this Deed of Trust, nor precludes, limits, conflicts with or interferes with the powers, rights and remedies granted to Beneficiary hereunder. Grantor further covenants and agrees as follows: (i) to promptly pay all rent, additional rent and other sums or charges required to be paid by Grantor under the Ground Lease; (ii) to promptly and faithfully observe, perform and comply with all of the terms, covenants and provisions thereof of its part to be observed, performed and complied with, at the time set forth therein, without any

Page 463: Public Finance Authority

- 22 -

allowance for grace periods under the Ground Lease, if any; (iii) not to do, permit, suffer or refrain from doing anything as a result of which there could be a default or event of default under or breach of any of the terms of the Ground Lease; (iv) without the prior written consent of Controlling Party, not to cancel or terminate the Ground Lease, nor to suffer or permit such cancellation or termination, nor to modify, amend or in any way alter or permit the alteration of any of the terms thereof, nor to surrender the property demised thereunder, nor to grant any consents thereunder, unless otherwise permitted under the Bond Documents, nor to waive any of Grantor’s rights thereunder; (v) to give Beneficiary immediate notice of any default by anyone under the Ground Lease to which it has received written notice of and to promptly deliver to Beneficiary copies of each notice of default and all other notices, communications, plans, specifications and other similar instruments received or delivered by Grantor in connection therewith; and (vi) to furnish to Beneficiary such information and evidence as Beneficiary may reasonably require concerning Grantor’s due observance, performance and compliance with the terms, covenants and provisions thereof. In the event of any default by Grantor in the performance of any of its obligations under the Ground Lease, including, without limitation, any default or payment of tenant thereunder, then, in each and every case, Beneficiary may, at its option and upon giving such notice as is reasonable under the circumstances, cause the default or defaults to be remedied and otherwise exercise all of the rights of Grantor thereunder in the name and on behalf of Grantor. All sums, as well as costs, advanced by Beneficiary pursuant to this Paragraph shall be due from Grantor to Beneficiary within fifteen (15) days following written demand, shall be secured hereby and the lien therefor shall relate back to the date of this Deed of Trust, and shall bear interest as set forth in the Bonds from the date of payment by Beneficiary until the date of repayment. Grantor and Beneficiary acknowledge that the fee title in the leasehold estate in the property demised by the Ground Lease shall not merge but shall always be kept separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of said estates in either the landlord thereunder, Grantor, Beneficiary, Trustee or a third party, whether by purpose or otherwise. If Grantor acquires the fee title or any other estate, title or interest in the property demised by the Ground Lease, or any part thereof, the lien of this Deed of Trust will automatically and without the necessity of the execution and/or delivery of any further instruments or documents attach to, cover and be a lien upon such acquired estate, title or interest and the same shall thereupon be and become a part of the Mortgaged Property with the same force and effect as if specifically encumbered herein. Without limitation or derogation of the foregoing sentence, Grantor nevertheless agrees to execute all instruments and documents which Beneficiary or Trustee may deem necessary or that Beneficiary or Trustee may reasonably request to ratify, confirm and further evidence Beneficiary’s lien on the acquired estate, title or interest. Furthermore, Grantor hereby appoints Beneficiary its true and lawful attorney in fact to execute and deliver all such instruments and documents in the name and on behalf of Grantor, if Grantor fails to promptly execute such instruments and documents upon demand by Beneficiary. The power, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable as long as the indebtedness under the Bonds remains unpaid. If the Ground Lease is cancelled or terminated, and if Beneficiary or its nominee shall acquire an interest in any new lease of the property demised by the Ground Lease, Grantor shall have no right, title or interest in or to the new lease of the leasehold estate created by such new lease. Grantor shall use its best effort to obtain and deliver to Beneficiary within fifteen (15) days after written demand by

Page 464: Public Finance Authority

- 23 -

Beneficiary, an estoppel certificate for the Ground Lease from Lessor setting forth (i) the name of the tenant thereunder; (ii) that the Ground Lease has not been modified, or, if it has been modified, the date of each modification (together with copies of each such modification certified as true and correct by the landlord); (iii) whether, to the best of Lessor’s knowledge and belief, there are any alleged defaults of the tenant under the Ground Lease, and, if there are, setting forth the nature thereof in reasonable detail; and (iv) such other information as Beneficiary may reasonably request. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Deed of Trust shall not constitute an assignment of the Ground Lease within the meaning of any provision thereof prohibiting its assignment and Beneficiary and Trustee shall have no liability or obligation thereunder by reason of its acceptance of this Deed of Trust. Beneficiary shall be liable, solely to the extent of moneys available therefor held by Beneficiary pursuant to the Indenture, for the obligations of the tenants arising under the Ground Lease only for that period of time during which Beneficiary is in possession of the property demised by the Ground Lease or has acquired, by foreclosure or otherwise, and is holding all of Grantor’s right, title and interest therein.

48. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, the terms and provisions of Article 21 of the Ground Lease concerning the conditions and restrictions applicable to a Leasehold Mortgage (as such term is defined in the Ground Lease) are hereby incorporated herein as if they were written in their entirety herein.

49. By recording a written substitution in the county or city where the Realty is located or by any other means permitted by law, Beneficiary may (i) remove Trustee or any successor trustee at any time (or times) without notice or cause and (ii) replace any Trustee who dies or resigns or is removed. Trustee may resign at any time after furnishing Beneficiary with written notice of Trustee’s intention to resign. In the event of the resignation or death of Trustee, or Trustee’s failure, refusal or inability, for any reason, to perform any of the trusts herein declared, or, at the option of Beneficiary, without cause, Beneficiary may appoint, in writing, a substitute trustee or multiple substitute trustees, who shall thereupon succeed (and if multiple substitute trustees are appointed, each of such multiple substitute trustees shall succeed) to all the estates, titles, rights, powers, and trusts herein granted to and vested in Trustee. In the event of the resignation or death of any substitute trustee, or any such substitute trustee’s failure, refusal or inability to perform such trusts, or, at the option of Beneficiary, without cause, successive substitute trustees (or multiple successive substitute trustees) may thereafter, from time to time, be appointed in the same manner. Wherever herein the word “Trustee” is used, the same shall mean the person who is the duly appointed trustee in the first paragraph of this Deed of Trust or substitute trustee (or multiple successive substitute trustees) hereunder at the time in question. Grantor hereby ratifies and confirms any and all acts which the aforenamed Trustee, or Trustee’s successor or successors in this trust, shall do lawfully by virtue hereof. If multiple trustees or substitute trustees are appointed, each of such multiple trustees shall be empowered and authorized to act alone without the necessity of the joinder of the other multiple trustees, whenever any action or undertaking of such trustees is requested or required under or pursuant to this Deed of Trust or applicable law. Any substitute trustee appointed pursuant to any of the provisions hereof shall, without any further act, deed or conveyance, become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of its or his predecessor in the rights hereunder with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein.

50. GRANTOR AND, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, BENEFICIARY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT EITHER MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS DEED OF TRUST, AND ANY AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONJUNCTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF EITHER PARTY. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BENEFICIARY EXTENDING CREDIT TO GRANTOR.

51. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Deed of Trust (i) the liability of Grantor hereunder shall be limited to Revenues available therefor under the Indenture; (ii) the Mortgaged Property shall be construed to mean only the Leasehold Estate, the Realty, the Improvements, the Leases, the Rents and Profits, the Intangible Property, and the items of property described herein that are used in connection with the foregoing, and shall not be construed to include any other assets of Grantor; and (iii) no Authority Indemnified Persons shall be individually or personally liable hereunder or be subject to any personal liability or accountability by reason of the execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust except in the case of such Authority Indemnified Person’s own willful misconduct.

Further, Beneficiary acknowledges that (a) Grantor is entering into a Facility Operating Agreement with Lessor with respect to the Mortgaged Property and (b) Grantor intends to rely conclusively, solely and entirely (and without independent investigation or verification) on the faithful and timely performance by the Lessor of its obligations under such Facility Operating Agreement, provided that nothing in this sentence (including any reliance by Grantor on the timely performance by Lessor) shall be deemed or construed as depriving Beneficiary of any right or remedy granted to it by the express provisions of this Deed of Trust.

Owner and Operator are referred to herein collectively as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party.”

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, all capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Master Glossary of Terms which is attached hereto as EXHIBIT A and incorporated herein by reference; and

WHEREAS, the Act authorizes Owner, among other things, to issue bonds to finance the costs of leasing real property and constructing and owning “projects” (as defined in the Act) within and outside the State of Wisconsin; and

WHEREAS, Owner desires to finance the cost of acquiring the Building and the Equipment; and

WHEREAS, Owner and the Trustee have entered into the Indenture pursuant to which Owner will issue the Bonds, the net proceeds of which shall be used to (i) finance the acquisition of the Project, (ii) establish a debt service reserve fund for the Bonds, (iii) establish an extraordinary expense fund for the Bonds, (iv) fund capitalized interest; (v) provide working capital for the Project; and (vi) pay certain expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of the Bonds; and

WHEREAS, under the terms of the Indenture, Owner is required to enter into an operating agreement with respect to the operation and management of the Project; and

Page 477: Public Finance Authority

ARTICLE 1 APPOINTMENT OF OPERATOR

Section 1.01 Appointment of Operator; Appointment of Designated Agent.

Owner hereby appoints Operator and Operator accepts appointment as the sole and exclusive Operator for the Project upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Indenture, which are hereby incorporated by reference. Owner hereby appoints GPM Municipal Advisors, LLC as Owner’s representative under this Operating Agreement (the “Designated Agent”), who is empowered to give or withhold any consents or approvals required by Owner under this Operating Agreement or to impose conditions upon any such consent or approval; provided that the Designated Agent shall have no power or authority to (i) amend this Operating Agreement; (ii) terminate this Operating Agreement, or (iii) institute any action to enforce this Operating Agreement, all of which rights shall be reserved to Owner. Owner may revoke the designation of the Designated Agent and appoint a new Designated Agent at any time in Owner’s sole discretion. In the event of a change in the Designated Agent, Owner shall provide notice to Operator pursuant to Section 12.01; provided that, until Operator has received actual notice of any change in the Designated Agent by Owner, Operator shall be entitled to rely on any written consents or written approvals given by the previously-appointed Designated Agent.

Section 1.02 Operations.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Operating Agreement, and subject to and in compliance with the Bond Documents, during the Term:

(a) Operator shall have the sole and exclusive authority to act on behalf of Owner with respect to the operation, maintenance and management of the Project and shall have full, complete and exclusive responsibility to operate, maintain, manage and control the Project;

(b) except as expressly set forth herein, Operator shall make all decisions affecting the operation, maintenance and management of the Project; and

(c) except as expressly set forth herein, and except for expenditures relating to the Project incurred or accrued prior to the date of this Operating Agreement (which expenditures shall be Operator’s sole responsibility), to the extent the duties of Operator require expenditures of funds to be paid to third parties, Operator shall not have any obligation hereunder except to the extent that Owner makes funds available to it for the performance of such duties, and nothing herein shall be deemed to authorize or require Operator, in its capacity as such, to expend its individual funds for payment to third parties or to undertake any individual liability or obligation on behalf of Owner.

Operator is not and shall not be authorized, by the provisions hereof or otherwise, to (i) enter into any contract or agreement that is or purports to be in Owner’s name, or amend or modify any such contract or agreement, or grant any waiver or forbearance thereunder, except as

Page 478: Public Finance Authority

3

contemplated and in full compliance with the requirements of Section 4.07; (ii) amend or modify, or grant any waiver or forbearance under the Ground Lease or any of the Bond Documents; (iii) commence, institute, defend, litigate, or settle any legal proceeding to which Owner is a party (except with respect to its own interests); (iv) take any other action that it believes in good faith is inconsistent with the scope of its duties and obligations hereunder; or (v) represent or hold itself out as having the authority to do any of the foregoing.

Section 1.03 Use of Building and Equipment.

Owner shall allow Operator the right to occupy the premises and use the Building and the Equipment needed to perform the Operational Services in accordance with Applicable Law and free from hindrance or ejection during the Term by Owner or other party claiming under, through, or by right of Owner except as expressly provided herein or in the Leasehold Mortgage.

ARTICLE 2 TERM

The term of this Operating Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and terminate upon the eighteenth (18th) anniversary thereof (the “Initial Term”). Unless prior notice of termination is given in accordance with Article 8, thereafter, this Operating Agreement shall automatically renew for a fifteen (15) year renewal term (the “Renewal Term” and collectively with the Initial Term, the “Term”). Either Party may terminate this Operating Agreement in accordance with Article 8.

ARTICLE 3 OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITIES

Section 3.01 Compliance with Operator Standard.

(a) Operator shall, and shall cause its employees and agents (including Revenue Contractors and contractors) to, in Operator’s performance of its obligations under this Operating Agreement, the Assigned Authority Documents, the Bond Documents and any other contract entered into with respect to the Project, fully comply in all material respects with (i) Applicable Law (for purposes of this Operating Agreement, the term “Applicable Law” shall include but not be limited to Healthcare Laws, as herein defined); (ii) Permits; (iii) Industry Practices; and (iv) the requirements and standards set forth in the Ground Lease, the Bond Documents and the Assigned Authority Documents; and (v) other terms and provisions of this Operating Agreement (collectively, the “Operator Standard”). It is Operator’s responsibility to ensure that the Project and the operation thereof complies in all material respects with the Operator Standard; provided, that provision for payment of the cost of such compliance has been made. Operator will notify the Designated Agent as promptly as practicable of any complaints, warnings, notices or summonses received by it relating to, alleging or asserting a breach or violation of Applicable Law, and will notify the Designated Agent as promptly as practicable if and when Operator has actual knowledge of any violation or threatened violation of Applicable Law.

Page 479: Public Finance Authority

(b) In this Operating Agreement:

(1) “material compliance” or “comply in all material respects” or similar phrases means that no breach or violation (or series of breaches or violations) of Applicable Law, Permits, Industry Practices, or contractual provisions, as the case may be, has (or have) occurred and is (or are) continuing that, if discovered and acted upon by the appropriate Governmental Authority or other Person having the right to enforce same, would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Operator or the Project; and

(2) “Industry Practices” means those practices, methods, and actions consistent with the highest industry standards and in the same manner as is customary and usual in the operation and management of comparable clinical facilities with comparable financial resources and budgetary parameters (including, maintaining any equipment in accordance with the standards imposed by the manufacturer of such equipment set forth in a Service Agreement and diligently prosecuting any warranty claim relating to the equipment in connection with and so as to preserve Operator’s and Owner’s rights under any manufacturer’s express or implied warranty) and with the care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent man acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of any enterprise of a like character and with like aims.

Section 3.02 Permits.

Operator shall obtain and keep in full force and effect all Permits necessary for Operator to perform its duties as “operator” under this Operating Agreement, including, but not limited to, those authorizations or licenses that are set forth in SCHEDULE D. All Permits pertaining to or required for the operation of the Project shall (i) be in the name of Operator; (ii) if applicable, be issued and maintained under Operator’s “provider number” and identify Operator (or a Clinical Partner) as the “provider” of medical and other services, as applicable, and (iii) submitted in Operator’s operating plan and budget in accordance with Section 4.02 to be paid as an Operating Expense. Operator shall (i) maintain or cause to be maintained in full force and effect all Permits now held or hereafter acquired with respect to the Project, and (ii) perform, observe, fulfill and comply (or cause the performance, observance, fulfillment and compliance of and with) all of the obligations, covenants and conditions contained in such Permits. Owner shall cooperate with Operator as needed in obtaining all Permits required for the Project. Without limiting the forgoing, Owner acknowledges that Operator is not obligated under this Operating Agreement to conduct an environmental assessment relating to the Project, nor to conduct a process of discovery requiring environmental testing or inspections, unless specifically requested to do so by the Designated Agent in writing and unless provision for payment of the cost thereof has been made to Operator’s satisfaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an environmental condition is caused or exacerbated by Operator acting other than in accordance with the Operator Standard, all of the foregoing obligations, including any related cost or expense to the extent not covered by insurance, shall be Operator’s sole and absolute responsibility.

Section 3.03 Collection of Gross Revenues.

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Bond Documents and this Operating Agreement, Operator shall, and shall cause each Revenue Contractor (if any) to:

(a) Collection Accounts. Deposit all payments that include amounts that are Gross Operating Revenues into a Collection Account, promptly but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof. For avoidance of doubt, Operator and any applicable Revenue Contractor shall maintain separate Collection Accounts as follows: (i) separate Collection Accounts (collectively, the “Private Pay Collection Accounts” and each a “Private Pay Collection Account”) to receive deposits exclusively of payments from patient self-pay, private insurance, third party payors, and commercial receivables, but excluding Government Pay Receivables (collectively, “Private Pay Receivables”), and (ii) separate Collection Accounts (collectively, the “Government Pay Collection Accounts” and each a “Government Pay Collection Account”) to receive deposits exclusively of payments from Medicare, Medicaid, CHAMPUS and CHAMPVA receivables and any other government healthcare receivables (collectively “Government Pay Receivables”). Operator shall cause amounts held in any Government Pay Collection Account, regardless of amount, to be swept on each Business Day into a Private Pay Collection Account.

(b) Project Operating Account. Establish an Operating Account (the “Project Operating Account”) and cause all amounts in the Private Pay Collection Accounts to be swept on each Business Day into the Project Operating Account and withdraw funds in the Project Operating Account to pay Operating Expenses, Professional Fee Revenues, and Excluded Taxes and Other Charges related to the Project; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Operator shall not make any payments out of the Project Operating Account except for expenditures specifically contemplated by the Approved Operating Plan and Budget or as otherwise expressly permitted under the terms of the Operating Agreement and the Indenture.

(c) Perfected Security Interest. Cause each Private Pay Collection Account and the Project Operating Account to be subject to an “account control agreement” that provides for “control” (within the meaning of Section 9-104 or 9-106 of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code) of such Private Pay Collection Account and/or the Project Operating Account by the Collateral Agent and that permits Operator or the applicable Revenue Contractor, prior to the Collateral Agent providing a notice of exclusive control, to direct the transfer of funds from such Private Pay Collection Account and/or the Project Operating Account in accordance with the requirements of this Operating Agreement (in particular, Article 11), the Bond Documents, the Assigned Authority Documents and the underlying contract between Operator and any such Revenue Contractor.

(d) Transfers to Revenue Fund. On the first Business Day of each month, transfer all amounts in the Project Operating Account in excess of $4,700,000.00

Page 481: Public Finance Authority

6

(measured as of the last Business Day of the preceding month) to the Trustee for deposit in the Revenue Fund and application in accordance with Section 5.04 of the Indenture.

Section 3.04 Independent Contractor Status; Employees.

(a) Independent Contractor Status. Operator is engaged in the business of operating a Proton Beam Therapy Center and in that capacity, is serving as the Operator for the Project. The Parties intend for Operator to function as an independent contractor of Owner. This Operating Agreement shall therefore not be deemed to create an employer/employee, partnership, joint venture, principal-agent or other relationship between Operator and Owner. Owner and Operator agree that Operator is neither an owner of the Project nor a lessee of the Project for federal income tax purposes, and therefore, Operator will not be entitled to and will not take any federal income tax depreciation or amortization deductions, any investment tax credit or any rental payment deductions with respect to the Project. Except with respect to a breach of its obligations hereunder or as to items that are expressly at the cost and expense of Operator or for which Operator is otherwise responsible under the terms hereof, Operator shall not be liable for any obligation or expenditure incurred on behalf of the Project or Owner if such obligation is incurred by Operator within the scope of Operator’s authority and pursuant to the Approved Operating Plan and Budget and the Approved Capital Budget.

(b) On-Site Project Employees. Operator shall have sole and exclusive responsibility for its employees and their safety, including the sole and exclusive right and responsibility to screen, test, investigate, interview, hire, train, supervise, discharge, and pay all personnel necessary to maintain and operate the Project, subject to this Operating Agreement and the Approved Operating Plan and Budget. SUCH PERSONNEL SHALL IN EVERY INSTANCE BE EMPLOYEES OF OPERATOR, OR IF CONTRACTED OR SUBCONTRACTED PURSUANT TO Section 4.07, SHALL BE EMPLOYEES OF THE CONTRACTOR OR SUBCONTRACTOR, AND UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL ANY INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYED AT ANY TIME OR IN ANY CAPACITY IN RESPECT OF THE PROJECT, THE CONDUCT OF BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS OF THE PROJECT, OR ANY REPAIR, MAINTENANCE OR OPERATION THEREOF BE CONSIDERED EMPLOYEES OF OWNER, THE DESIGNATED AGENT, THE COLLATERAL AGENT, OR THE TRUSTEE FOR ANY PURPOSE WHATSOEVER.

Section 3.05 Operator Funds.

Operator may, but shall not be required to: (i) advance any of its own funds for the benefit of Owner or the Project; (ii) provide any financial support for the Project; (iii) lend its credit for the benefit of the Project or (iv) advance any of its own funds to replace the Project in the event of a catastrophic loss. Any amounts so advanced shall be reimbursed to Operator, at actual cost with no mark-up. Expenditures to address emergencies may be made as provided in Section 4.03(c).

Page 482: Public Finance Authority

Section 3.06 Obligations Under the Ground Lease.

Owner is a party to that certain Ground Lease (the “Ground Lease”) by and between Operator, as lessor, and Owner, as lessee, dated as of an even date herewith, whereby Owner is, among other things, authorized to provide for the operation of the Project on the Land. Operator represents and warrants and covenants that it has reviewed the Ground Lease and is fully aware of the terms, conditions, covenants and obligations of Owner and of Operator thereunder to the extent that such terms, conditions, covenants and obligations are or may be attributable to Owner or Operator; (i) agrees to comply with those provisions, requirements and limitations of the Ground Lease applicable to it; and (ii) to the extent within its powers and authority hereunder, to cause Owner to comply therewith; provided, that nothing in the Ground Lease shall operate to reduce, diminish, or nullify Operator’s obligations expressly provided for herein.

Section 4.02 Operating and Capital Budgets.

Operator shall:

(a) on or prior to the Effective Date, submit to Designated Agent the initial operating plan and budget (in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Designated Agent) (the “Initial Operating Plan and Budget”) describing in detail the plans for the promotion, operation, repair and maintenance of the Project for the remainder of the Operating Year during which the Effective Date occurs, which shall also take into account the sale of any equipment; provided, however, that the sale of any equipment that is part of the Project for an amount in excess of $1,000,000 shall require the consent of Owner unless otherwise contemplated in the Approved Operating Plan and Budget or Approved Capital Budget; and

(b) not less than sixty (60) days prior to the start of each subsequent Operating Year, Operator shall develop, prepare and submit to Designated Agent an annual proposed operating plan and budget and describing in detail the plans for the promotion and operation of the Project for the upcoming Operating Year and an annual proposed capital plan and budget describing in detail the plans for the repair and maintenance of the Project for the upcoming Operating Year (collectively, the “Proposed Budget”). The Proposed Budget shall also take into account the sale of any equipment; provided, however, that the sale of any equipment that is part of the Project for an amount in excess of $1,000,000 shall require the consent of Owner unless otherwise contemplated in the Approved Operating Plan and Budget or Approved Capital Budget. The Proposed Budget must result in a Debt Service Coverage Ratio that is greater than the Debt Service Coverage Requirement. If the Proposed Budget does not result in a Debt Service Coverage Ratio that is greater than the Debt Service Coverage Requirement, Operator shall also include with the Proposed Budget a detailed written explanation as to why Operator has not budgeted to attain such ratio. Upon receipt of the Proposed Budget, the Designated Agent shall have the right to independently review and notify Operator, as soon as possible, but in any event no later than within thirty (30) days if the Designated Agent objects to any part of the Proposed Budget. If the Designated Agent objects to any part of the Proposed Budget, Operator will make reasonable efforts to revise the proposed plan and budget as requested by the Designated Agent. If the Parties have not agreed on the Proposed Budget, or any portion thereof, within thirty (30) days after presentation of the Proposed Budget to the Designated Agent, until such time as the Proposed Budget has been approved in its entirety, all items comprising the Proposed Budget which have theretofore been agreed upon by the Designated Agent and Operator shall be deemed part

Page 486: Public Finance Authority

of the Approved Operating Plan and Budget and, with respect to those items which have not yet been agreed upon Operator shall continue to operate the Project in accordance with the standards of operation and operating policies in effect during the preceding Operating Year. The final Proposed Budget submitted to the Designated Agent and to which the Designated Agent confirms in writing that it has no objection is referred to herein as, the “Approved Operating Plan and Budget” and the “Approved Capital Budget,” respectively.

Section 4.03 Approved Operating Plan and Budget; Deviations; Emergency Expenditures.

(a) Operator is authorized to pay, or cause a Revenue Contractor to pay, all Budgeted Operating Expenses set forth in the Approved Operating Plan and Budget using funds from the applicable Operating Account. Operator shall operate the Project in a manner consistent with each Approved Operating Plan and Budget. Operator shall not exceed the Budgeted Operating Expenses in the Approved Operating Plans and Budget by more than ten percent (10%) in the aggregate, unless Operator obtains the prior written consent of the Designated Agent.

(b) If there is a deviation from the Budgeted Operating Expenses by more than ten percent (10%) in the aggregate, then, as part of Operator’s Monthly Financial Report that is delivered pursuant to Section 4.09, Operator shall include Operator’s recommendations as to curing any current variance between actual expense and budgeted expense and preventing future variances in same, and, if necessary after making a full analysis of the cause of the variance and possible remedies, submit to the Designated Agent for its approval in accordance with the timing and procedures set forth herein a revised operating plan and budget for the remainder of such Operating Year. The Parties acknowledge that a Liquidity Reserve Fund has been established under the Indenture for the purpose of funding Operating Expenses, subject to the Designated Agent’s prior approval, when the funds in the applicable Operating Account are insufficient to pay the Operating Expenses. In furtherance therefor, if at any time, there are insufficient funds in the applicable Operating Account to pay Operating Expenses, or other expenses and items expressly provided for in this Operating Agreement, then Operator is authorized to submit to Trustee a Request substantially in the form of Exhibit E to the Indenture directing a disbursement from the Liquidity Reserve Fund; provided that the Designated Agent has approved such Request prior to submission to the Trustee.

(c) Upon Operator’s determination, in Operator’s reasonable discretion, that there exists an emergency that requires an immediate expenditure in excess of the amounts provided for in the Approved Operating Plan and Budget, Operator is authorized to contract for and pay from its Project Operating Account and/or to submit to the Trustee a Request substantially in the form of Exhibit E to the Indenture, seeking payment from the Liquidity Reserve Fund of such operating expenditures on an emergency basis in excess of the amounts provided for in the Approved Operating Plan and Budget, if it is necessary, in the reasonable judgment of Operator, to prevent or correct any violation of or failure to comply with Applicable Law; to prevent or correct any condition that has

Page 487: Public Finance Authority

12

resulted or could result in a Material Adverse Effect, excluding, however, Capital Expenses. Any such Liquidity Reserve Fund Request shall describe the cause of such emergency, the actions needed in connection with such emergency, and the cost of taking such actions. If Operator disburses funds from the Project Operating Account for the purposes described in this Section 4.03(c), Operator shall submit to Trustee a Request from the Liquidity Reserve Fund to reimburse the Project Operating Account for the amount so disbursed; provided, that the Designated Agent shall have approved such Request prior to submission to the Trustee.

Section 4.04 Approved Capital Budget; Deviations; Emergency Expenditures.

(a) Operator shall request Owner to direct the Trustee to make payment from the Repair and Replacement Fund under the Indenture for Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment (“FF&E”) and Capital Expenses included in the Approved Capital Budget. The Trustee shall disburse funds from the Repair and Replacement Fund in accordance with Section 5.10 of the Indenture. Operator shall not substantially deviate by more than ten percent (10%) in the aggregate from the aggregate budgeted FF&E and Capital Expenses included in the Approved Capital Budget, unless Operator obtains the prior written consent of the Designated Agent.

(b) Upon Operator’s determination, in Operator’s reasonable discretion, that there exists an emergency that requires an immediate expenditure in excess of the amounts provided for in the Approved Capital Budget, Operator is authorized to make payment from the Project Operating Account and/or to submit to the Trustee substantially in the form of Exhibit E to the Indenture, seeking payment from the Liquidity Reserve Fund of capital expenditures on an emergency basis for repairs in excess of the amounts provided for in the Approved Capital Budget, if it is necessary, in the reasonable judgment of Operator, to prevent imminent danger of damage to property or injury to persons. Any such request shall describe the cause of such emergency, the repairs needed in connection with such emergency, and the cost of making such repairs. If Operator disburses funds from the Project Operating Account for the purposes described in this Section 4.04(b), Operator shall submit to Trustee a Request for a disbursement from the Liquidity Reserve Fund to reimburse the Project Operating Account for the amount so disbursed; provided that the Designated Agent shall have approved such Request prior to submission to the Trustee.

Section 4.05 Fees and Charges.

Operator shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, in consultation with the Designated Agent, to set fees and charges for services rendered at the Project in each Operating Year in amounts reasonably calculated to produce Total Net Revenues in each Operating Year at least sufficient to meet the Debt Service Coverage Requirement for such Operating Year.

Section 4.06 Utility Contracts.

Operator shall advise the Designated Agent of any contracts for water, sewer, electricity, gas, telephone, television, garbage collection, recycling, and any other utilities which are, in Operator’s opinion, reasonably necessary to properly serve and maintain the Project (“Utility Contracts”), which Utility Contracts shall be in Operator’s name or, if required by the utility provider, in Owner’s name, and, if in Owner’s name, subject to approval by the Designated Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. All utility deposits required by a Utility Contract shall be included in the Approved Operating Plan and Budget and shall be paid from the applicable Project Operating Account. The Project Operating Account shall be credited with any discounts, rebates, or commissions obtained in connection with any such purchases or service contracts, such credit to be applied against Operating Expenses.

Page 496: Public Finance Authority

21

management, use or operation of the Project, for Operator’s own benefit or for the benefit of any other person or entity.

(c) Operator hereby further agrees that during the Restricted Period, it shall not permit any physician to own (beneficially or of record), Control or have any equity interest whatsoever in Operator unless Operator is at such time a publicly-traded company and no Physician owns or Controls more than five percent (5%) of the equity of Operator.

(d) Without limiting the provisions of subparagraphs (a) – (c), above, during the Restricted Period, Operator agrees to limit its commercial dealings within the Restricted Territory with respect to any of activities described below exclusively through Owner:

(1) engaging in the business of developing or constructing (or assisting another Person in the development or construction of) a Proton Beam Therapy Center, in whole or in part; or owning (beneficially or of record), Controlling or having any interest whatsoever (including as an equity holder, lender or otherwise) in any enterprise that shall engage in the activities set forth in this clause (1); or

(f) Owner and Operator have carefully considered the nature and extent of the Restrictive Covenants and the rights and remedies conferred upon Owner under the Restrictive Covenants and hereby expressly acknowledge and agree that: (i) the Restricted Period and the Restricted Territory and all other restrictions contained in the Restrictive Covenants are designed to protect the legitimate and protectable business interests of the Owner; (ii) the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable and necessary and fully required to protect the legitimate and protectable business interests of Owner; (iii) the Restrictive Covenants impose a reasonable restraint upon Operator; (iv) any violation of the terms of any of the Restrictive Covenants could have a substantial detrimental effect on Owner’s business and the Project; (v) the Restrictive Covenants do not stifle Operator’s inherent skill and experience; (vi) the Restrictive Covenants would not operate as a bar to Operator’s means of support; and (vii) Operator expressly

Operator acknowledges that the Restrictive Covenants have been called to the attention of Operator and Operator understands that the Restrictive Covenants are a material covenant of this Operating Agreement and that Owner would not have entered into this Operating Agreement without the existence of the Restrictive Covenants. Owner and Operator further agree that, in the event of any litigation at law or at equity with regard to the enforcement or interpretation of any of the Restrictive Covenants, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to be reimbursed for all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred, at trial and through all levels of appeal, incurred as a result of such litigation.

(h) If a court having jurisdiction over this Operating Agreement shall determine that the Restricted Period or the Restricted Territory or any other restriction contained in any of the Restrictive Covenants is overbroad or is unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, it is the intention of Owner and Operator that the Restrictive Covenants shall not thereby be terminated or void, but shall be deemed amended to the extent required by such court to render them valid and enforceable to the greatest extent permissible by such court and the applicable law and public policy.

(i) If Operator violates any Restrictive Covenant, and Owner or any of Owner’s successors and assigns (including the Controlling Party under the Indenture) brings legal action for injunctive or other relief, such Party bringing the action shall not, as a result of the time involved in obtaining the relief, be deprived of the benefit of the full period of such Restrictive Covenant, unless a court of competent jurisdiction holds that such Restrictive Covenant is not enforceable in whole or in part. Accordingly, for any time period that Operator is in violation of any Restrictive Covenant, such time period shall not be included in calculating the Restricted Period.

(j) Owner and all successors and assigns of Owner, including the Trustee and the Bondholders and all successors and assigns of the Trustee, are third party beneficiaries of the Restrictive Covenants. The Restrictive Covenants are intended for the benefit of, and may be enforced by Owner, Owner’s successors and assigns and the Trustee and its further assigns.

Page 498: Public Finance Authority

23

(k) The existence of any claim or cause of action by Operator against Owner, whether predicated upon this Operating Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of the Restrictive Covenants by Owner, Owner’s successors and assigns and the Trustee and its further assigns, but shall be litigated separately.

Operator shall indemnify, defend and hold each Authority Indemnified Person, each Trustee Indemnified Person and each Collateral Agent Indemnified Person (as used in this Section 6.05, each an “Indemnified Person”) harmless from and against all Operator-Indemnified Liabilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, such indemnity shall not be available to the extent that the Operator-Indemnified Liability is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to (i) have resulted from (A) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a Trustee Indemnified Person or Collateral Agent Indemnified Person, or (B) the willful misconduct of a Authority Indemnified Person, or (ii) result from a claim brought by Operator against such Indemnified Person for a material breach of such Operator-Indemnified Person’s obligations hereunder. In this Operating Agreement, “gross negligence” of a Person means that such Person has acted (or refrained from acting) in reckless disregard of, or with a lack of substantial concern for, the rights of others.

(b) Scope of Indemnity Obligation. Operator expressly acknowledges and agrees that each Indemnified Person shall be held harmless and indemnified hereunder from and against Operator-Indemnified liabilities arising from Owner’s or any Person’s own negligence of any kind, description or degree (without regard to or application of the comparative negligence provisions of Section 895.045 of the Wisconsin Statutes), or breach of contractual duty, except insofar as such indemnity is not available as provided in the second sentence of Subsection (a), above.

(c) Procedure for Indemnification. In the event that any action or proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Person with respect to which indemnity may be sought hereunder, Operator, upon written notice from the Authority Indemnified Person, shall assume the investigation and defense thereof, including the employment of counsel approved by the Indemnified Person, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and shall assume the payment of all expenses related thereto, with full power to litigate, compromise or settle the same in its sole discretion; provided that the Indemnified Person shall have the right to review and approve or disapprove any such

Page 502: Public Finance Authority

27

compromise or settlement, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Each Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action or proceeding and participate in the investigation and defense thereof. Operator shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel; provided, however, that such Indemnified Person may only employ separate counsel at the expense of Operator if in the judgment of such Indemnified Person a conflict of interest exists by reason of common representation or if all parties commonly represented do not agree as to the action (or inaction) of counsel.

(d) Use and Benefit of Indenture Funds. Except as may be derived from insurance proceeds as set forth in subsection (e), below, Operator acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to defend, indemnify and hold the Indemnified Persons harmless from and against Operator-Indemnified Liabilities shall not be funded by the Extraordinary Expense Fund or any other Fund or Account held by the Trustee under the Indenture (“Indenture Funds”) or diminished in any respect by the availability of the Indenture Funds or the use or application by Owner thereof to satisfy any Liabilities (including Operator-Indemnified Liabilities) hereunder and that such use or application by Owner, the Trustee, or the Collateral Agent of the Indenture Funds for such purpose shall not affect in any manner Operator’s obligation to reimburse Owner therefor. This paragraph shall apply regardless of whether Indenture Funds at any time include any money provided by Operator.

(e) Insurance. It is Owner’s and Operator’s intent to look first to the insurance coverage required pursuant to this Operating Agreement for both legal defense and payment of any Liabilities subject to the provisions of this Section 6.05. Therefore, Owner and Operator agree that, notwithstanding any indemnity language to the contrary, in the event that Liability arises which is covered by the insurance required pursuant to the Indenture or this Operating Agreement, Operator shall cause such insurance to be paid in accordance with such policies, and to the extent of such payment, the procedures related to indemnity in subsection (c), above, shall not apply; provided, that the foregoing shall not have any effect whatsoever on an Indemnified Person’s underlying right to indemnity. As to any Liabilities paid by insurance, the Parties agree to waive all rights of subrogation, regardless of whether the negligence or fault of the other party or other party’s agents, officers, or employees causes or is alleged to have caused such claim, liability, loss or damage.

(f) Issuer Extraordinary Expense Fund. Owner shall look to the Extraordinary Expense Fund only if and to the extent (i) Operator is not required to indemnify Owner or any Indemnified Person for any Liability pursuant to this Section 6.05 and (ii) such Liability is not fully paid by applicable insurance. (and, to the extent such funds and assets are unavailable or insufficient to pay or satisfy such Liabilities, to the Indemnity Agreement.

For avoidance of doubt, Employment-Related Liabilities shall constitute Operator-Indemnified Liabilities without regard to any fault, negligence, misconduct, action or inaction on the part of Operator or any other Person.

(h) Survival. The rights of any Indemnified Person to indemnity hereunder shall survive termination of this Operating Agreement and in the case of any Indemnified Person such person’s dissolution, merger or death.

(i) Third-Party Beneficiaries. To the extent of their rights hereunder to indemnification and exculpation from pecuniary liability, each Indemnified Person is a third-party beneficiary of this Operating Agreement entitled to enforce such rights in his, her, its or their own name.

Section 6.06 No Waiver of Rights.

No termination of this Operating Agreement shall operate to waive, diminish or impair any right that has accrued to either party as of the date of termination, nor shall any such termination impair either party’s right to indemnity under this Operating Agreement. All of the indemnification obligations under this Operating Agreement shall survive termination or expiration of this Operating Agreement indefinitely, regardless of cause.

Page 517: Public Finance Authority

42

however, that unless an Section 11.03 Default exists, Operator shall only be responsible for reimbursing the Collateral Agent for two (2) lien searches per calendar year. In the event for any reason the law of any jurisdiction other than Operator’s current jurisdiction of organization or the jurisdiction identified in the schedules attached hereto as of the date hereof becomes or is applicable to the Operator Collateral or any part thereof, or to any of the Secured Obligations, Operator agrees to execute and deliver all such instruments and documents and to do all such other things as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request as necessary or appropriate to preserve, protect, and enforce the lien and security interest of the Collateral Agent under the law of such other jurisdiction.

Collateral Agent agrees not to exercise such power except during a Section 11.03 Default which is continuing. Operator hereby ratifies and approves all acts of any such attorney taken under the scope of the provisions of this clause and agrees that neither the Collateral Agent nor any such attorney taken under the scope of the provisions of this clause will be liable for any acts or omissions nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law other than such person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Collateral Agent may file one or more financing statements disclosing its security interest in any or all of the Operator Collateral without Operator’s signature appearing thereon. Operator also hereby grants the Collateral Agent a power of attorney to execute any such financing statements, or amendments and supplements to financing statements, on behalf of Operator without notice thereof to Operator.

In this connection, the Collateral Agent, pursuant to the Indenture, any Bond Document or Assigned Authority Document for purposes of holding or enforcing any lien or security interest on any collateral (or any portion thereof) under the any of the foregoing, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Controlling Party, shall be entitled the benefits and protections of all provisions of Article V, Article IX, and Article X of the Indenture (including, without limitation, any and all rights to indemnity prior to taking action) as if set forth in full herein, mutatis mutandis, with respect thereto.

The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent under this Operating Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which the Collateral Agent may have.

(c) With respect to any request permitted to be made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 11.03(d) through Section 11.03(g), each of Owner and Operator acknowledge and agree that the Collateral Agent is not responsible or required to make any such request or demand or to take action to maintain or perfect any security interest provided for hereunder, except upon instruction of Operator, Owner or the Controlling Party under the Indenture.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In such connection, we have reviewed the Indenture, the Tax Certificate of the Issuer, dated the date hereof (the “Tax Certificate”), opinions of counsel to the Issuer and others, certificates of the Issuer, the Trustee and others, and such other documents, opinions and matters to the extent we deemed necessary to render the opinions set forth herein.

The opinions expressed herein are based on an analysis of existing laws, regulations, rulings and court decisions and cover certain matters not directly addressed by such authorities. Such opinions may be affected by actions taken or omitted or events occurring after the date hereof. We have not undertaken to determine, or to inform any person, whether any such actions are taken or omitted or events do occur or any other matters come to our attention after the date hereof. Accordingly, this letter speaks only as of its date and is not intended to, and may not, be relied upon or otherwise used in connection with any such actions, events or matters. We disclaim any obligation to update this letter. We have assumed the genuineness of all documents and signatures presented to us (whether as originals or as copies) and the due and legal execution and delivery thereof by, and validity against, any parties other than the Issuer.

represented, warranted or certified in the documents, and of the legal conclusions contained in the opinions, referred to in the second paragraph hereof. Furthermore, we have assumed compliance with all covenants and agreements contained in the Indenture and the Tax Certificate, including (without limitation) covenants and agreements compliance with which is necessary to assure that future actions, omissions or events will not cause interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes. We call attention to the fact that the rights and obligations under the Bonds, the Indenture, and the Tax Certificate and their enforceability may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, arrangement, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium and other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights, to the application of equitable principles, to the exercise of judicial discretion in appropriate cases and to the limitations on legal remedies against public authorities in the State of Wisconsin. We express no opinion with respect to any indemnification, contribution, liquidated damages, penalty (including any remedy deemed to constitute a penalty), right of set off, arbitration, choice of law, choice of forum, choice of venue, non-exclusivity of remedies, waiver or severability provisions contained in the foregoing documents, nor do we express any opinion with respect to the state or quality of title to or interest in any of the real or personal property described in or as subject to the lien of the Indenture or the accuracy or sufficiency of the description contained therein of, or the remedies available to enforce liens on, any such property. We also express no opinion regarding the accreted value table or calculation set forth or referred to in any of the Subordinate Bonds or Junior Bonds or in the Indenture. Our services did not include financial or other non-legal advice. Finally, we undertake no responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the Official Statement or other offering material relating to the Bonds and express no opinion with respect thereto.

Based on and subject to the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, as of the date hereof, we are of the following opinions:
