Year 1
Newly Hired Physician Faculty $30,000

Medical Tuition Repayment Signing Bonus Conditions
Albany Medical College shall reduce the newly hired Physician Faculty’s (“Physician”) student loan debt by $30,000 within one month of the date of hire. The Physician is required to continuously render the medical services contemplated in the agreement for three (3) consecutive years from the date of hire. During this three-year period, Albany Medical College will forgive a $30,000 pro-rata portion of the balance of the loan within thirty (30) days of the commencement date of services. If, prior to the end of this three-year period, the Physician ceases to provide the services contemplated under the agreement for any reason, or the unforgiven principal amount otherwise becomes due and payable, the Physician shall repay the full $30,000 amount to Albany Medical College within thirty (30) days of the event which triggers the Physician’s repayment obligation.

Albany Medical College will terminate the Physician’s participation in this program, and will require repayment of the full $30,000 amount to Albany Medical College if any of the following occur:

· Physician does not satisfy each of the loan requirements referenced in the loan agreement, including the conditions of continuation;
· Physician fails to obtain or commence employment with Albany Medical College as required by the loan agreement;
· Physician fails to continuously provide the full-time clinical services within the medical specialty contemplated under the agreement through the end of the three year period;
· Physician fails to maintain a medical license within the state of New York;
· Physician fails to maintain a faculty appointment within Albany Medical College;
· Physician fails to maintain hospital clinical privileges at Albany Medical Center;
· Physician fails to qualify as a provider enrolled in Medicare or Medical Assistance products;
· Or the unforgiven principal balance of the loan becomes due and payable as otherwise provided in the promissory note (e.g., due to student’s bankruptcy). If the Physician’s repayment of the loan is required, Albany Medical College will promptly initiate efforts to pursue repayment of the loan and will consult with Albany Medical Center’s legal department to determine whether any additional steps are necessary to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Albany Medical College will forgive the Physician’s obligation to repay the loan if the recipient dies.
