Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 15, 2007, Pediatrix Medical Group, Inc. (the Company), certain of the Companys
subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively with the Company, the Borrowers), Bank of America, N.A.
(the Administrative Agent), and each of the lenders signatory thereto entered into a Consent to
Extension Agreement and Waiver (the Consent). Pursuant to Sections 6.01(b) and 6.02(b) of the
Credit Agreement dated as of July 30, 2004 among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each
of the lenders signatory thereto as previously amended through the date hereof (the Credit
Agreement), the Company is required to deliver to the Administrative Agent quarterly financial
statements (the Quarterly Financial Statements) and a compliance certificate (the Compliance
Certificate) as soon as available, but in any event within 45 days after the end of each of the
first three fiscal quarters of the Companys fiscal year. In addition, pursuant to Section
6.01(a), 6.02(a) and 6.02(b) of the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to deliver to the
Administrative Agent annual financial statements (the Annual Financial Statement), a related
certificate of its independent certified public accountants certifying such financial statements
(the Accountants Certificate) and a Compliance Certificate as soon as available, but in any
event within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year. The Consent provides an extension of time
for the delivery of the Quarterly Financial Statements, Annual Financial Statements, Compliance
Certificates and Accountants Certificate required for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2006 and
September 30, 2006 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, until May 15, 2007 subject to
certain terms and conditions as set forth therein.
Section 6.01(c) of the Credit Agreement also requires the Company to deliver an annual budget,
certified by a Company Responsible Officer (as defined in the Credit Agreement), not later than 30
days after the beginning of the fiscal year for which such budget is being delivered (the Annual
Budget). Since the Company is unable to finalize its Annual Budget for the 2007 fiscal year prior
to the conclusion of its Audit Committees review of the Companys historical stock option
practices, the Consent waives any Default or Event of Default (each as defined in the Credit
Agreement) related from the failure to deliver such Annual Budget within the required time period,
provided that the Annual Budget is delivered on or prior to May 15, 2007.
The foregoing description of the Consent does not purport to be complete and is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the full text of such Consent, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit
10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference thereto.
