Item 1.01. Entry into Material Definitive Agreements.

Asset Purchase Agreements

On August 2, 2016, Molina Healthcare, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement (the “Aetna APA”) with Aetna Inc. (“Aetna”) to purchase and acquire from Aetna (the “Aetna Acquisition”) certain of Aetna’s Medicare Advantage assets in exchange for cash. Also on August 2, 2016, the Company announced that it has entered into a substantially identical definitive agreement (the “Humana APA” and, together with the Aetna APA, the “Asset Purchase Agreements” and each, an “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Humana Inc. (“Humana” and, together with Aetna, the “Sellers” and each, a “Seller”) to purchase and acquire from Humana (the “Humana Acquisition” and, together with the Aetna Acquisition, the “Acquisitions”) certain of Humana’s Medicare Advantage assets in exchange for cash. The aggregate amount of cash consideration for the Acquisitions is currently estimated to be approximately $117 million, exclusive of any required regulatory capital, subject to adjustment based on the number of members at closing.

The Acquisitions are related to Aetna’s proposed acquisition of Humana (the “Aetna-Humana Merger”). On July 21, 2016, the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) and certain state attorneys general filed a civil complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against Aetna and Humana charging that the Aetna-Humana Merger would violate Section 7 of the Clayton Antitrust Act, and seeking a permanent injunction to prevent Aetna from acquiring Humana (the “DOJ litigation”). The transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreements are conditioned on separate closing conditions included in each of the Asset Purchase Agreements, including the completion of the Aetna-Humana Merger and the resolution of the DOJ litigation, as well as approval by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) of the novation to the Company of each of the contracts to be divested under each of the Asset Purchase Agreements, and customary closing conditions, including approvals of state departments of insurance and other regulators. As a result, the time necessary to close the transactions contemplated by each of the Asset Purchase Agreements, and the number of members ultimately to be transferred at closing pursuant to each Asset Purchase Agreement, are uncertain; provided, however, that the Sellers have agreed to sell the rights to a minimum number of members to the Company in the event that, in connection with the resolution of the DOJ litigation, the Sellers are required to divest fewer members than originally contemplated.

Each Asset Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties, and customary covenants regarding the conduct of business by the applicable Seller prior to the closing. Each Asset Purchase Agreement also grants the Company, under certain circumstances, an exclusive irrevocable option to purchase Additional Contracts (as defined in each Asset Purchase Agreement), if any, prior to the closing of Aetna-Humana Merger, on terms substantially identical to those set forth in the applicable Asset Purchase Agreement and at a purchase price calculated as described therein. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreements, each Seller has agreed to provide the Company with certain administrative services related to the Medicare Advantage plans that are involved in the Acquisitions for a transition period following the closing.

 

-2-


Pursuant to the terms of each Asset Purchase Agreement, each party shall indemnify the other for breaches of its representations and warranties, breaches of its covenants and certain other matters. The representations and warranties set forth in each Asset Purchase Agreement generally survive 15 months following the closing, with longer survival periods for certain representations and warranties.

Each Asset Purchase Agreement is subject to termination under the following circumstances:

 

    by the mutual written agreement of the Company and the applicable Seller;

 

    by either party if the closing of the transactions contemplated thereby has not occurred on or before December 31, 2016 (subject to the applicable Seller’s right to extend such outside date to August 31, 2017 and January 3, 2018 under certain circumstances); provided, however, that the right to terminate in this circumstance is unavailable to a party whose breach of any provision of the applicable Asset Purchase Agreement results in the failure of the closing to have occurred by such time;

 

    by either party if (i) any applicable law or final and non-appealable order issued by a governmental authority enjoins, prevents or prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the applicable Asset Purchase Agreement or (ii) any Required Regulatory Approval (as defined in each Asset Purchase Agreement) shall have been finally and non-appealably denied by the applicable governmental authority, subject to a certain exception as provided therein;

 

    by either party if the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 2, 2015, by and among the Sellers and the other party thereto, is terminated in accordance with its terms;

 

    by the nonbreaching party if the applicable Seller, on the one hand, or the Company on the other hand, breaches its representations and warranties or fails to perform its covenants that would result in the failure of the associated closing condition to be satisfied and such breach or failure to perform is incapable of being cured or has not been cured by the breaching party within 45 days of notice thereof;

 

    by Seller if either of the Sellers or any of their respective affiliates receives notice from any governmental authority that such governmental authority or applicable law will require Seller or any of its affiliates to sell, divest, discontinue, limit or otherwise dispose of a material portion of the other Seller’s Medicare Advantage business in the geographies to be divested pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreements or place any material limitation on Seller’s or any of its affiliates continued operation or ownership of the other Seller’s Medicare Advantage business in any portion of the geographies to be divested pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreements;

 

-3-


    by Seller if (i) the DOJ or the U.S. District Court overseeing the DOJ litigation notifies Seller or the Company or their respective affiliates in writing that the Company is not an acceptable acquirer, (ii) the U.S. District Court overseeing the DOJ litigation has notified Seller or the Company or their respective affiliates in writing that the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement are not an acceptable remedy or (iii) the DOJ litigation has been resolved, and such resolution does not require Seller to divest individual Medicare Advantage plan contracts in any of the geographies to be divested pursuant to such Asset Purchase Agreement;

 

    by Seller if CMS imposes or proposes in writing to impose certain sanctions on the Company or any of the Company’s affiliates; and

 

    by either party if the other Asset Purchase Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

In the event of a termination of an Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to an Applicable Termination (as defined in each Asset Purchase Agreement), the applicable Seller has agreed to pay to the Company its Applicable Portion (as defined in each Asset Purchase Agreement) of a termination fee of $50 million, if the termination occurs on or prior to December 31, 2016, $75 million, if the termination occurs on or after January 1, 2017 but prior to July 1, 2017, or $100 million, if the termination occurs on or after July 1, 2017, in each case, plus such Seller’s Applicable Portion of the Company’s transaction costs as provided therein.

The foregoing description of the Asset Purchase Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Asset Purchase Agreements, copies of which are being filed as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.

Commitment Letter

In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreements, the Company entered into a debt commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) dated as of August 2, 2016, with Barclays Bank PLC (the “Commitment Party”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Commitment Party has committed to provide the Company with debt financing in the aggregate principal amount of up to $400 million to finance the Acquisitions, pay for any Additional Contracts, satisfy any regulatory or statutory capital requirements applicable to the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreements, pay any transaction costs and finance any ongoing working capital requirements or other general corporate purposes. The Commitment Party’s obligations under the Commitment Letter are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including consummation of the Acquisitions in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreements, the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation consistent with the Commitment Letter, delivery of certain pro forma and other financial information, the accuracy of specified representations and warranties of the Sellers in the Asset Purchase Agreements, and certain other customary closing conditions.

 

-4-


The foregoing description of the Commitment Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Commitment Letter, a copy of which is being filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” regarding the separate Asset Purchase Agreements entered into by the Company with Aetna and Humana, respectively. All forward-looking statements are based on current expectations that are subject to numerous risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially. Such risk factors include, without limitation, risks related to: the timely closing of the Acquisitions, including the need to obtain third party consents and regulatory approvals; any conditions imposed on the parties in connection with consummating the transactions described herein; and the possibility that the transactions will not be completed on a timely basis or at all. Information regarding the other risk factors to which the Company is subject is provided in greater detail in its periodic reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. These reports can be accessed under the investor relations tab of the Company’s website or on the SEC’s website at sec.gov. Given these risks and uncertainties, the Company cannot give assurances that its forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, or that any other results or events projected or contemplated by its forward-looking statements will in fact occur, and the Company cautions investors not to place undue reliance on these statements. All forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K represent the Company’s judgment as of the date hereof, and the Company disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to conform the statement to actual results or changes in the Company’s expectations that occur after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Section 2.09 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Within 30 calendar days after Purchaser’s receipt of the monthly membership roster issued by CMS in the second (2nd) month following the later of (x) the Enrollee Measurement Date and (y) the end of any Special Opt Out Period (such 30-calendar day period, the “Purchase Price Calculation Period” and such monthly CMS membership roster, the “Monthly Membership Report”, which Purchase Price Calculation Period shall be extended for up to an additional 30 calendar days if Purchaser makes a written request of Seller prior to the expiration of the initial Purchase Price Calculation Period reasonably documenting the reason for such extension), Purchaser shall deliver to Seller (i) a written statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”) setting forth Purchaser’s calculation of the Purchase Price, which shall be calculated based solely on the number of Purchaser Enrollees as of the first date that is on or after the later of the Enrollee Measurement Date and the end of any Special Opt Out Period as shown on the Monthly Membership Report (and, for the avoidance of doubt, will not be based, in whole or in part, on any other information including any records of Seller, Purchaser or any other Person, including CMS) and (ii) a copy of the Monthly Membership Report. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the following meanings:

Purchase Price” means an amount in cash equal to the sum of all Regional Purchase Prices.

(b) If Purchaser fails to deliver the Post-Closing Statement and the Monthly Membership Report during the Purchase Price Calculation Period (including any extension of the Purchase Price Calculation Period in accordance with Section 2.09(a)), Purchaser shall still be required to deliver to Seller the Monthly Membership Report in accordance with Section 2.09(a) and if such report is not delivered, Purchaser authorizes Seller to request such report directly from CMS, and authorizes CMS to deliver such report directly to Seller, and, in such event, upon receipt of the Monthly Membership Report from Purchaser or CMS, as applicable, Seller shall be entitled to calculate the Purchase Price based solely on the Monthly Membership Report, and such amount, as calculated by Seller, shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and Seller for all purposes of this Agreement.

(c) If Purchaser delivers the Post-Closing Statement and the Monthly Membership Report during the Purchase Price Calculation Period (including any extension of the Purchase Price Calculation Period in accordance with Section 2.09(a)) and Seller disagrees with Purchaser’s calculation of the Purchase Price set forth on the Post-Closing Statement, Seller may, within 30 calendar days after receipt of the Post-Closing Statement, deliver a notice (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Purchaser which notice shall describe the nature of any such disagreement in reasonable detail, identify the specific items involved, and specify Seller’s calculation of the Purchase Price. If Seller delivers to Purchaser a notice accepting the Post-Closing Statement, or does not timely deliver any Notice of Disagreement, Seller shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts contained in the Post-Closing Statement.

(d) If Seller timely delivers a Notice of Disagreement, Purchaser and Seller shall, during the 30 calendar days after delivery thereof, use their respective Commercially Reasonable Efforts to reach agreement on the disputed matters in order to determine the Purchase Price. If Purchaser and Seller are unable to reach agreement as to the Purchase Price during such 30-calendar day period, then either party may bring an Action to determine the Purchase Price in the courts provided for by Section 9.07.

(e) If the Adjusted Purchase Price is greater than the Closing Payment, then Purchaser shall pay the amount of such difference to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by Seller prior to such payment. If the Adjusted Purchase Price is less than the Closing Payment, Seller shall pay the amount of such difference to Purchaser, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by Purchaser. The payment required to be made by Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, pursuant to the immediately preceding sentences will be made within three Business Days of the determination of the Adjusted Purchase Price.

(f) “Adjusted Purchase Price” means (i) if Purchaser does not deliver the Post-Closing Statement and the Monthly Membership Report during the Purchase Price Calculation Period (including any extension of the Purchase Price Calculation Period in accordance with Section 2.09(a)), Seller’s calculation of the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.09(b); (ii) if Purchaser delivers the Post-Closing Statement and the Monthly Membership Report during the Purchase Price Calculation Period (including any extension of the Purchase Price Calculation Period in accordance with Section 2.09(a)), and Seller does not deliver any Notice of Disagreement within 30 calendar days after receipt of the Post-Closing Statement or Seller delivers a notice accepting the Post-Closing Statement, Purchaser’s calculation of the Purchase Price set forth on the Post-Closing Statement; or (iii) if Seller does deliver a Notice of Disagreement within 30 calendar days after receipt of the Post-Closing Statement, (A) the Purchase Price as agreed by Purchaser and Seller pursuant to Section 2.09(d) or (B) in the absence of such agreement, the Purchase Price as determined in any Action brought by either party pursuant to Section 2.09(d) and Section 9.07; provided that in no event shall the Adjusted Purchase Price be more than Seller’s calculation of the Purchase Price set forth in the Notice of Disagreement or less than Purchaser’s calculation of the Purchase Price set forth in the Post-Closing Statement.

Section 2.10 Additional Adjustment to Purchase Price.

(a) Between the date hereof until the Closing Date, in the event that a CMS Sanction is imposed on Seller that individually or in the aggregate with any and all other CMS Sanctions imposed on Seller between the date hereof and the Closing Date has a material adverse effect on Seller’s ability to provide the services under the Administrative Services Agreement, Seller shall provide prompt written notice to Purchaser of such CMS Sanction along with a reasonably detailed explanation of the impact that the CMS Sanction will have on Seller’s ability to provide the services under the Administrative Services Agreement (“Sellers CMS Sanction Notice”).

(b) During the 30 calendar days after the delivery of Seller’s CMS Sanction Notice, Purchaser and Seller shall use their respective Commercially Reasonable Efforts to reach agreement on the Damages that the CMS Sanction will have on Purchaser’s performance and operation of the Conveyed Medicare Advantage Contracts after the Closing (it being understood and agreed that, among other things, the impact (and the reasonably expected impact) of any remediation or other offsetting actions that Seller or any of its Affiliates undertakes or has taken shall be taken into account in determining the Damages that the CMS Sanction will have on Purchaser’s performance and operation of the Conveyed Medicare Advantage Contracts after the Closing; provided, however, that in the event Seller and/or any of its Affiliates has determined to undertake any remediation or other offsetting actions pursuant to this Section 2.10(b), then Seller shall covenant and agree in writing to Purchaser to promptly perform or cause to be performed such actions; and provided, further, that in no event shall such Damages be deemed to be greater than the Adjusted Purchase Price for purposes of this Section 2.10) (such Damages, the “Purchasers Damages”). Purchaser shall, within such 30-calendar day period, deliver written notice to Seller, specifying Purchaser’s reasonable good faith determination of the Purchaser’s Damages (the “Purchasers Notice”) along with reasonable detail supporting such determination. If Purchaser timely delivers the Purchaser’s Notice within such 30-day period and Seller disagrees with Purchaser’s determination of the Purchaser’s Damages, Seller may,

 

-20-


within 10 calendar days after receiving the Purchaser’s Notice, deliver a notice (the “Seller’s Response Notice”) to Purchaser, which notice shall describe the nature of such disagreement in reasonable detail, specifying Seller’s reasonable good faith determination of the Purchaser’s Damages and identifying any specific item(s) of dispute.

(c) If the greater of the two calculations of the Purchaser’s Damages set forth in each of the Purchaser’s Notice and the Seller’s Response Notice is less than twenty percent (20%) greater than the lesser of such two calculations, then the Purchaser’s Damages shall be the average of the two calculations of the Purchaser’s Damages set forth in the Purchaser’s Notice and the Seller’s Response Notice. If the greater of the two calculations of the Purchaser’s Damages set forth in the Purchaser’s Notice and the Seller’s Response Notice is equal to or more than twenty percent (20%) greater than the lesser of such two calculations, then either party may thereafter upon notice to the other party cause a Neutral Arbitrator to promptly review this Agreement and the disputed matters for purposes of determining the Purchaser’s Damages.

(d) If the parties submit the dispute to the Neutral Arbitrator, then in making its calculation of the Purchaser’s Damages, the Neutral Arbitrator shall (i) be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the terms of this Section 2.10, (ii) consider only the disputed matters, and (iii) determine the value of the Purchaser’s Damages by choosing either the calculation of Purchaser’s Damages set forth on the Purchaser’s Notice or the calculation of Purchaser’s Damages set forth on the Seller’s Response Notice. The Neutral Arbitrator’s determination of the Purchaser’s Damages shall be based solely on written materials, presentations and arguments submitted and/or made by Purchaser and Seller (i.e., shall not be based on an independent review). The Neutral Arbitrator shall deliver to Purchaser and Seller, as promptly as practicable, a written report setting forth its determination of the Purchaser’s Damages. Such Neutral Arbitrator’s report shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and Seller for all purposes of this Agreement. The fees and expenses of the Neutral Arbitrator shall be paid by the party whose calculation of the Purchaser’s Damages that the Arbitrator did not choose.

(e) The parties agree that the Adjusted Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of any Purchaser’s Damages as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.10(c) and Section 2.10(d), but not below zero. Further, in the event that final determination of the Purchaser’s Damages is not made until a date following the determination of the Adjusted Purchase Price, Seller shall promptly (and in any event not more than 30 days after the date of final determination made in accordance with Section 2.10(c) or Section 2.10(d)) deliver the amount of the Purchaser’s Damages to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by Purchaser. Purchaser may also elect in writing to offset the amount of any Purchaser’s Damages as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.10(c) and Section 2.10(d) in whole or in part against any amounts payable by Purchaser under the Administrative Services Agreement.

Section 2.11 Allocation of Purchase Price.

(a) As promptly as practicable after the Purchase Price (as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.09, Section 2.10 and Section 2.12) is finally determined, but not later than 45 days thereafter, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a statement (the “Allocation Statement”), allocating the Purchase Price (plus Assumed Liabilities, to the extent properly taken into account under

 

-21-


Section 1060 of the Code) among the Purchased Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code. If, within 10 days after the delivery of the Allocation Statement, Seller notifies Purchaser in writing that Purchaser objects to the allocation set forth in the Allocation Statement, Purchaser and Seller shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to resolve such dispute within 20 days. In the event that Purchaser and Seller are unable to resolve such dispute within 20 days, Purchaser and Seller shall jointly retain an independent certified public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing (other than any such firm that audited the financial statements of Purchaser or Seller or any Affiliate of either within the three calendar years before such retention) reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and Seller to determine the appropriate allocation of the disputed items. Upon allocation of the disputed items by such independent accounting firm, the allocation reflected on the Allocation Statement shall be adjusted accordingly, and such adjusted Allocation Statement shall be the Allocation Statement for all purposes of this Agreement. The costs, fees and expenses of the independent accounting firm shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller.

(b) Each of Seller and Purchaser agrees, except as required by a Final Determination, to (i) be bound by the Allocation Statement for Tax purposes and (ii) act in accordance with the Allocation Statement in the preparation, filing and audit of any Tax Return (including filing Form 8594 with its federal income Tax Return for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date).

(c) Not later than 30 days prior to the filing of their respective Forms 8594 relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, each party shall deliver to the other party a copy of its Form 8594.

Section 2.12 Reduction in Applicable Service Area. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Humana Acquisition Litigation is finally and non-appealably resolved (including by settlement) prior to the Closing, or is resolved and such resolution has not yet been appealed prior to the Closing, and Seller is required pursuant to or in connection with such resolution (whether by DOJ, the U.S. District Court overseeing the Humana Acquisition Litigation (the “Overseeing Court”) or otherwise) (such resolution, the “Final Resolution”) to divest to Purchaser individual Medicare Advantage plan Contracts covering fewer states and/or counties than are included in the Applicable Service Area as of the date hereof (the “Original Service Area”) in order to consummate the Humana Acquisition, then Seller shall have the option (the “Applicable Service Area Reduction Option”), in Seller’s sole discretion, exercisable by written notice to Purchaser prior to the Closing Date, to amend Sections 1.01(a)(iv) and 1.01(a)(v) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules to remove certain states and/or counties in which Seller is not required to make divestitures from the Applicable Service Area (such amended Applicable Service Area, the ”Final Service Area”) in accordance with the following:

(i) Seller shall have the right to remove any and all counties and/or states in which Seller is not required to make divestitures pursuant to the Final Resolution so long as the total number of all Applicable Seller Enrollees together with any “Applicable Seller Enrollees” as defined in the Humana APA (collectively, the “Required Divestiture Enrollees”) is at least one hundred seventy five thousand (175,000).

 

-22-


(ii) In the event that the total number of Required Divestiture Enrollees is less than one hundred seventy five thousand (175,000), then the Final Service Area shall include the Divested Service Area and additional counties from the Original Service Area (collectively, the “Additional Service Area”) as follows:

(A) Section 2.12(a)(ii) of the Purchaser Disclosure Schedules sets forth the states within the Original Service Area sequentially arranged in order of Purchaser’s priority (the “Preferred Service Area List”);

(B) beginning with the first state on the Preferred Service Area List, if the Divested Service Area includes any county within such state, then starting from the largest such county, each county that is (i) closest (and thereafter, next closest) in proximity to such county within such state and (ii) included in the Original Service Area, shall be included in the Final Service Area until the total number of Required Divestiture Enrollees, together with the total number of all Additional Seller Enrollees and any “Additional Seller Enrollees” as defined in the Humana APA (collectively, the “Aggregate Enrollees”), is at least one hundred seventy five thousand (175,000);

(C) in the event the Aggregate Enrollees do not equal at least one hundred seventy five thousand (175,000) following the process set forth in Section 2.12(a)(ii)(B) above, such process shall be repeated for each state in which any county is included in the Divested Service Area and counties within such state in the priority set forth on the Preferred Service Area List until the total number of Aggregate Enrollees is at least one hundred seventy five thousand (175,000);

(D) in the event the Aggregate Enrollees do not equal at least one hundred seventy five thousand (175,000) following the process set forth in Section 2.12(a)(ii)(C) above, such process shall be repeated with respect to any states and counties within such states that are included in the Original Service Area but which are not included in the Divested Services Area in the priority set forth on the Preferred Service Area List and otherwise as reasonably agreed by the parties until the total number of Aggregate Enrollees is at least one hundred seventy five thousand (175,000); and

(E) thereafter, Seller shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to remove any remaining counties and/or states from the Final Service Area.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, no Seller Enrollees covered by the Applicable RPPO Contract shall be included in the Aggregate Enrollees for purposes of meeting the threshold required in Section 2.12(a)(ii). Additionally, if Seller exercises the Applicable Service Area Reduction Option, from and after the exercise thereof, among other consequences

 

-23-

(b) Since January 1, 2014, except as would not prevent or materially impair or delay Purchaser’s consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (i) none of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates has been or is currently suspended, excluded or debarred from contracting with the federal or any state government or from participating in any state or federally funded healthcare program, (ii) none of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is party to any contract, arrangement or understanding or subject to any Order that would limit or restrict Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in any manner from owning, operating or utilizing the Purchased Assets or assuming, performing and discharging the Assumed Liabilities from and after the Closing, (iii) neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates has been subject to any Governmental Authority’s imposition of, or has received any written correspondence from any Governmental Authority threatening the imposition of, sanctions on Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in relation to its licenses or the operation of its health plans, as applicable and (iv) except as set forth in Section 4.07(b)(iv) of the Purchaser Disclosure Schedules, Purchaser has all licenses and permits necessary to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. As of the date hereof, Purchaser has no knowledge of any circumstances that would be a reasonable basis for CMS to impose any enrollment sanctions on Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or to exclude Purchaser, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective directors or officers from participating in the Medicare or Medicaid programs, or any other reason or basis with respect to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates on which CMS or any other Governmental Authority would refuse to grant the Medicare Advantage Contract Novations or any Required Purchaser Permit in favor of Purchaser.

Section 4.08 Financing. 

(a) Purchaser has sufficient cash, available lines of credit or other sources of immediately available funds to enable it to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby,

 

-34-


including paying in full all amounts required to be paid hereunder by Purchaser, including with respect to any regulatory capital requirements arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or the Purchased Assets. Purchaser expressly acknowledges and agrees that its obligations hereunder, including its obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, are not subject to, or conditioned on, receipt of financing.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser has delivered to Seller a complete and correct copy of a fully executed commitment letter from Barclays Bank PLC (including all exhibits, schedules and annexes to such letter as and to the extent delivered to Seller on or prior to the date of this Agreement, the “Debt Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which Barclays Bank PLC has committed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, to provide the debt financing described therein in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The Debt Commitment Letter and any other debt commitment letter (including any replacement of the Debt Commitment Letter in connection with any Alternative Financing) executed in accordance with Section 5.05, as replaced, amended, supplemented, modified or waived in accordance with Section 5.05, including all exhibits, schedules and annexes to such letters, are hereinafter referred to together as the “Debt Commitment Letters.” The financing contemplated pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letters is hereinafter referred to as the “Debt Financing”.

(c) As of the date of this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter is in full force and effect and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser and, to the knowledge of Purchaser, Barclays Bank PLC, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms against Purchaser and, to the knowledge of Purchaser, Barclays Bank PLC (subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exceptions). All commitment fees required to be paid under the Debt Commitment Letter have been paid in full or will be duly paid in full as and when due; and Purchaser shall have otherwise satisfied all of the conditions required to be satisfied by Purchaser pursuant to the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter on or prior to the date of this Agreement. The Debt Commitment Letter has not been amended, modified or terminated on or prior to the date of this Agreement, no such amendment, modification or termination is contemplated by Purchaser as of the date of this Agreement, and no Debt Commitment Letter will be amended, modified or terminated by Purchaser, in violation of Section 5.05. As of the date of this Agreement, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a breach or default by Purchaser under the Debt Commitment Letter. Purchaser, as of the date of this Agreement, is not aware of any fact, occurrence or condition that makes any of the assumptions or statements set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter inaccurate (assuming the accuracy of Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement) in any material respect or that would reasonably be expected to cause the commitments provided in the Debt Commitment Letter to be terminated or ineffective or any of the conditions contained therein not to be met. The consummation of the Debt Financing is subject to no conditions precedent other than those expressly set forth in the copy of the Debt Commitment Letter, and there are no contingencies that would permit Barclays Bank PLC to reduce the total amount of the Debt Financing other than those expressly set forth in the copy of the Debt Commitment Letter. Except for fee letters relating to fees with respect to the Debt Financing (redacted copies of which, removing only fee amounts, market “flex” provisions and certain other items (none of which concern or would adversely affect the amounts, availability, timing or conditionality of the Debt Financing), but including all fee amounts payable in connection with a termination of this Agreement, have been

 

-35-


provided to Seller on or prior to the date of this Agreement) have been provided to Seller on or prior to the date of this Agreement), there are no side letters or other agreements, contracts, or arrangements related to the funding of the Debt Financing, other than as expressly set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter. As of the date of this Agreement, assuming no breach by Purchaser of its representations and warranties under this Agreement (and cooperation and assistance by Seller as required by the terms of this Agreement) and no breach or default by Seller of its obligations under this Agreement (in either case such that the conditions set forth in Section 6.01 or Section 6.02 would fail to be satisfied), and based upon facts and events known by Purchaser as of the date of this Agreement, Purchaser has no reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Debt Financing will not be satisfied or the Debt Financing will not be consummated as contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter on or prior to the Closing Date, if required to comply with its obligations under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 5.03, and including to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and satisfy regulatory capital requirements applicable to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates related to or arising out of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or the Purchased Assets). The aggregate proceeds of the Debt Financing, together with cash or cash equivalents held by Purchaser, as of the Closing Date, will be sufficient to enable Purchaser to pay in cash all amounts required to be paid by it in cash in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including payment of all amounts required to be paid pursuant to Article 2, and to pay all related fees and expenses payable by Purchaser and satisfy all regulatory capital requirements applicable to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates related to or arising out of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Purchased Assets.

Section 4.09 No Finders’ Fee. Except for Barclays Capital Inc., whose fee will be paid by Purchaser or its Affiliates, there is no investment banker, broker, finder or other intermediary that has been retained by or is authorized to act on behalf of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates who might be entitled to any fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. A copy of Barclays Capital Inc.’s financial services advisory agreement with Purchaser as in effect on the date hereof has been made available to Seller’s counsel on the date hereof.

Section 4.10 No Other Purchaser Representations and Warranties. (a) Except for the representations and warranties made by Purchaser in this Article 4, neither Purchaser nor any other Person makes or has made any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, at law or in equity, with respect to or on behalf of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, their respective businesses, operations, assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, future operating or financial results, estimates, projections, forecasts, plans or prospects (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts, plans or prospects) or the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective businesses or any other matter furnished or provided to Seller or made available to Seller in any “data rooms”, “virtual data rooms”, management presentations or in any other form in expectation of, or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Purchaser and its Affiliates disclaim any other representations or warranties, whether made by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives.

 

-36-


(b) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except for the representations and warranties made by Seller in Article 3 (as qualified by the applicable items disclosed in the Seller Disclosure Schedules in accordance with Section 9.04 and the introduction to Article 3), neither Seller nor any other Person is making or has made any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, at law or in equity, with respect to or on behalf of Seller or any of its Affiliates, the Existing Medicare Advantage Contracts, the 2017 Seller Medicare Advantage Contracts, the Conveyed Medicare Advantage Contracts, Seller’s or any of its Affiliates’ respective other businesses, operations, assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, future operating or financial results, estimates, projections, forecasts, plans or prospects (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts, plans or prospects) or the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding Seller or any of its Affiliates or any other matter furnished or provided to Purchaser or made available to Purchaser in any “data rooms,” “virtual data rooms,” management presentations or in any other form in expectation of, or in connection with, this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby. Purchaser specifically disclaims that it is relying upon or has relied upon any such other representations or warranties that may have been made by any Person, and acknowledges and agrees that Seller and its Affiliates have specifically disclaimed and do hereby specifically disclaim any such other representations and warranties.

(b) Without limiting Section 5.03(a), as promptly as advisable after the date hereof as reasonably determined by Seller, Seller and Purchaser shall submit advance notice to CMS of a possible change in ownership pursuant to 42 C.F.R. § 422.550(b). Following such advance notice to CMS, Seller and Purchaser shall timely submit all materials requested or required by CMS and cooperate in submission of a request for CMS to approve and consent to a novation process whereby each Conveyed Medicare Advantage Contract would be split from the applicable Existing Medicare Advantage Contract or the applicable 2017 Seller Medicare Advantage Contract, as applicable, and transferred from Seller and its Affiliates to Purchaser (or directly entered into by Purchaser with CMS, as applicable), effective as of the Closing (such approval by CMS of either the split and transfer of each Conveyed Medicare Advantage Contract to Purchaser or Purchaser entering into each Conveyed Medicare Advantage Contract directly with CMS, collectively, the “Medicare Advantage Contract Novations”), which materials shall be provided as promptly as practicable and shall include all of the information required pursuant to Chapter 12 of the Medicare Managed Care Manual and any additional information required pursuant to applicable Law, as may be requested by CMS, or as is advisable to effect the Medicare Advantage Contract Novations, effective as of the Closing. Subject to applicable Law, each party shall furnish (subject to the terms set forth in Section 5.10(c)), to the other party such information and assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of the filing or submission of such request, and keep the other party reasonably apprised of any communications with, and inquiries or requests for additional information from, CMS or any other Governmental Authority. Additionally, each party shall, to the extent practicable, provide the other party at least one (1) Business Day’s advance written notice of the time and subject matter of any material meetings or material communications with CMS relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and the other party shall, to the extent practicable and permitted by CMS, have the right to attend and participate in any such material meetings or material conversations. Additionally, each party shall be entitled to receive any materials prepared by and/or made available to the other party in connection with such meetings or conversations and to learn of the content of such communications (subject to limitations reasonably necessary to preserve attorney-client privilege; provided, however, that in the event either party shall invoke such privilege and such privilege would be preserved through a joint defense agreement entered into between Purchaser and Seller or any of its Affiliates, then Seller and Purchaser shall use their Commercially Reasonable Efforts to enter into a mutually acceptable joint defense agreement (or similar agreement)) (it being understood and agreed that the obligations set forth in this Section 5.03(b) and Section 5.03(c) shall be Seller’s only obligations with respect to keeping Purchaser apprised of matters relating to the Humana

Acquisition Litigation). Each party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use their best efforts to obtain as promptly as reasonably practical, effective as of the Closing, the Medicare Advantage Contract Novations and to satisfy all other requirements applicable to the Medicare Advantage Contract Novations pursuant to 42 C.F.R. §§ 422.550-552.

(d) Without Seller’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise), acquire, purchase, lease or license (or agree to acquire, purchase, lease or license) any business, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association or other business organization or division or part thereof, or any securities or collection of assets, or enter into any new line of business (any such transaction, a “Proposed Transaction”), if doing so would reasonably be expected to: (i) impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or materially increase the risk of not obtaining, any Consent of any Governmental Authority necessary to consummate any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period; (ii) materially increase the risk of any Governmental Authority entering an Order prohibiting the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby; (iii) materially increase the risk of not being able to remove any such Order on appeal or otherwise; or (iv) otherwise prevent or materially delay the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.03(d) shall prohibit Purchaser from engaging in a Proposed Transaction that exclusively involves Medicaid assets or if the target’s health insurance or health plan business is solely a Medicaid business so long as such Proposed Transaction would not cause Purchaser to be in breach of any of its representations and warranties hereunder (in each case, as if made at the time of such Proposed Transaction, rather than as of the date of this Agreement).

(e) In addition, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts, as reasonably requested by Seller and at Seller’s cost and expense in the case of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser and its Affiliates in connection therewith, to cooperate with Seller, Humana and their respective Affiliates in connection with their efforts to defend the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and this Agreement in the Humana Acquisition Litigation, including participating in

 

-40-


meetings with DOJ and the Overseeing Court, and sharing with Seller or its legal counsel, as appropriate, documents, data and other information that Seller or its legal counsel may reasonably request related to any products or services that are the subject of the Humana Acquisition Litigation.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each party acknowledges and agrees that nothing herein shall obligate, or be construed to obligate, Seller or any of its Affiliates to, or to agree to, (i) sell, divest, hold separate, discontinue, limit or otherwise dispose of any property or assets of such Person or any of its Affiliates, (ii) defend against any Action challenging this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) agree to any conditions (including in any consent decree) relating to, or changes or restrictions in, the current or future operations or ownership of such Person or any of its Affiliates or (iv) take any other action to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 6.03(d).

Section 5.04 Enrollee Non-Solicitation. During the Restricted Period, Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, and shall not instruct its Brokers to, directly or indirectly, solicit, induce or attempt to persuade any Purchaser Enrollee to enroll in any individual Medicare Advantage plan of Seller or any of its Affiliates in the Applicable Service Area; provided that the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.04 shall not prohibit (a) general advertisements or similar solicitations not specifically targeted to Purchaser Enrollees, including Brokers’ general marketing activities in the ordinary course of business, or (b) any enrollment or other activities with respect to any Purchaser Enrollees who respond to any such general advertisements, general marketing or similar solicitation. From the Closing Date through the later of (A) December 31, 2018 and (B) the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, use any Aetna and/or Coventry brand or substantially similar brand, name or logo for any Medicare Advantage plan of Seller or any of its Affiliates offered directly to individuals in the Applicable Service Area, with the exception of such use in connection with (1) any Medicare Advantage or other plan offered by Seller or any of its Affiliates to groups or to any individual who is part of a group, (2) any Special Needs Plan, (3) pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement, (4) any Medicare Supplement plan, standalone prescription drug plan or any other plan that is not a Medicare Advantage plan offered pursuant to a Contract or (5) any Medicare Advantage or other plan offered outside of the Applicable Service Area (and, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall prohibit or restrict in any way the use by Seller or any of its Affiliates of any Humana brand or substantially similar brand, name or logo, including for any Medicare Advantage plan offered directly to individuals in the Applicable Service Area).

Section 5.05 Financing Covenants. (a) If required to comply with its obligations under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 5.03, and including to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and satisfy regulatory capital requirements applicable to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates related to or arising out of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or the Purchased Assets), (i) Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, take, or to cause to be taken, all such actions as may be necessary to arrange the Debt Financing on substantially the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letter, including (A) to negotiate and enter into the definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter (including, as necessary, the “flex” provisions contained in any related fee letter) by the Closing Date, and (B) to satisfy or

 

-41-


obtain the waiver of, on a timely basis all conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing and to comply with all of Purchaser’s obligations pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter and the definitive agreements related thereto; (ii) in the event that all conditions to funding the commitments contained in the Debt Commitment Letter have been satisfied, Purchaser shall cause the Financing Source to fund the Debt Financing required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, pay related fees and expenses and satisfy all regulatory capital requirements applicable to Purchaser related to or arising out of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or the Purchased Assets, in each case on the Closing Date (including by taking enforcement action to cause the Financing Source to provide the Debt Financing); and (iii) Purchaser shall not release or consent to the termination of the commitments and obligations of the lenders under the Debt Commitment Letter nor shall Purchaser terminate the Debt Commitment Letter. Purchaser shall give Seller prompt notice of any material breach by any party to the Debt Commitment Letter or the definitive agreements related thereto of which Purchaser has become aware or any termination of the Debt Commitment Letter or such definitive agreements. In the event that the Debt Financing is required for Purchaser to comply with its obligations under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 5.03, and including to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and satisfy regulatory capital requirements applicable to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates related to or arising out of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or the Purchased Assets), and any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable, Purchaser shall (A) obtain, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, alternative debt financing for any such portion from alternative debt sources (“Alternative Financing”) in an amount that will still enable Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and satisfy regulatory capital requirements applicable to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates related to or arising out of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or the Purchased Assets, and (B) promptly notify Seller of such unavailability and the reason therefor. If obtained, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller true and complete copies of all agreements (including redacted copies of engagement and fee letters, removing only fee amounts, market “flex” provisions and certain other terms (none of which concern or would adversely affect the amounts, availability, timing or conditionality of the Debt Financing), but including all fee amounts payable in connection with a termination of this Agreement) pursuant to which any such alternative source shall have committed to provide Purchaser with Alternative Financing. Purchaser shall not, without Seller’s prior written consent, permit any amendment or modification to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Debt Commitment Letter or any definitive agreements related thereto unless the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter or definitive agreements related thereto, in each case as so amended, modified or waived, are substantially similar to those in the Debt Commitment Letter or definitive agreement related thereto, prior to giving effect to such amendment, modification or waiver (other than economic terms, which shall be as good as or better for Purchaser than those in the Debt Commitment Letter or definitive agreement relating thereto prior to giving effect to such amendment, modification or waiver); provided that in the case of amendments, modifications or waivers of the Debt Commitment Letter or a definitive agreement relating thereto, the foregoing shall only apply if such amendment, modification or waiver (x) would reasonably be expected to (i) adversely affect the ability or likelihood of Purchaser timely consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or satisfying regulatory capital requirements applicable to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates related to or arising out of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or the Purchased Assets

 

-42-


or (ii) make the timely funding of the Debt Financing or the satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing less likely to occur, (y) reduces the amount of the Debt Financing or (z) adversely affects the ability of Purchaser to enforce its rights against other parties to the Debt Commitment Letter or the definitive agreements relating thereto. Purchaser shall provide Seller with prompt written notice of the receipt of any notice or other communication from the Financing Source with respect to the Financing Source’s failure or anticipated failure to fund its commitments under the Debt Commitment Letter or definitive agreement in connection therewith. Upon Seller’s written request, Purchaser shall provide Seller with the status of Purchaser’s efforts to consummate the Debt Financing. Purchaser shall have the right to substitute the net cash proceeds received by Purchaser after the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date from consummated offerings or other incurrences of long-term non-callable debt (including notes) with a maturity date on or after December 31, 2021 by Purchaser for all or any portion of the Debt Financing by reducing commitments under the Debt Commitment Letter; provided that (i) to the extent any such debt has a special or mandatory redemption right, such right is not exercisable prior to the earlier of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement, (ii) such offering or other incurrence of debt does not result in a breach or default under, or violation of, the Debt Commitment Letter, (iii) the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing committed under the Debt Commitment Letter following such reduction, together with other cash and cash equivalents available to Purchaser, is sufficient to pay all amounts required to be paid in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to satisfy regulatory capital requirements applicable to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates related to or arising out of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or the Purchased Assets and (iv) Purchaser promptly notifies Seller of such substitution and reduction.

(b) Seller shall use, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives to use, Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cooperate, on a timely basis, with Purchaser in connection with the Debt Financing (provided that any cooperation shall not unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of Seller or its Subsidiaries), including (i) providing reasonable assistance in the preparation of one or more confidential information memoranda, prospectuses, offering memoranda, private placement memoranda and other customary marketing and syndication materials reasonably requested by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Debt Financing; (ii) reasonably cooperating with the Financing Source or prospective financing sources (including lenders, underwriters, initial purchasers or placement agents) for the Debt Financing (together with the arrangers and the partners, stockholders, managers, members, directors, attorneys, officers, employees, advisors, accountants, consultants, agents, Affiliates and Representatives and successors of any of the foregoing) and their respective agents’ due diligence, including providing access to documentation reasonably requested by any such Person in connection with the Debt Financing; and (iii) assisting in preparing customary rating agency presentations and causing appropriate members of Seller’s management to participate in a reasonable number of sessions with rating agencies in connection with the Debt Financing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be required (A) to prepare, create or provide (unless previously prepared and available) any financial information or financial statements in respect of Seller, any of its Affiliates or the Purchased Assets in connection with any Debt Financing or (B) to take any action that would subject it to actual or potential Liability, to bear any cost or expense or to pay any commitment or other similar fee or make any other payment (other than reasonable out-of-

(ii) with respect to any 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment, each party bears a portion of such 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment equal to (A) the aggregate amount of such 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment, multiplied by (B) a fraction, (1) the numerator of which is the sum of the number of Enrollees during each month of calendar year 2017 in which such party offered the Medicare Advantage plan under which such 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment arises, and (2) the denominator of which is the sum of the number of Enrollees during each month of calendar year 2017; provided that, for purposes of this Section 5.12, the number of Enrollees during any month of calendar year 2017 shall be as set forth in the most current membership roster for such month issued by CMS relating to Enrollees, and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be based, in whole or in part, on any

 

-48-


other information including any records of Seller, Purchaser or any other Person, including CMS (the portion of any 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment that each party bears hereunder, such party’s “2017 Plan-Based Adjustment Portion”).

(b) If the Closing occurs after January 1, 2017, and the 2017 Split Year Medicare Advantage Contracts are the Conveyed Medicare Advantage Contracts:

(i) As promptly as practicable after Purchaser’s receipt of each CMS Report and in no event more than 30 Business Days thereafter (which period Seller shall agree to reasonably extend upon written request by Purchaser reasonably documenting the reason for such extension and the period of such extension may not exceed an additional 30 calendar days), Purchaser shall deliver to Seller (A) a written statement (the Purchaser True-Up Statement”) setting forth Purchaser’s calculation of (1) each party’s 2017 Enrollee-Based Payment Entitlement and/or each party’s 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment Portion, as applicable, relating to such CMS Report, and (2) the net amount payable by either Purchaser or Seller to the other party as a result of such calculation so as to ensure that each party receives or bears its 2017 Enrollee-Based Payment Entitlement and/or 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment Portion, as applicable, relating to such CMS Report, taking into account, in the case of each party’s 2017 Enrollee-Based Entitlement, the aggregate amount of 2017 Enrollee-Based Payments that such party actually received for calendar year 2017, including any adjustment to or additional payment actually received with respect to any such payment for calendar year 2017 (such net amount, the “True-Up Amount” relating to such CMS Report), and (B) a copy of each applicable CMS Report.

(ii) If Purchaser fails to timely deliver any Purchaser True-Up Statement in accordance with Section 5.12(b)(i), Purchaser shall still be required to deliver to Seller the applicable CMS Report(s) in accordance with Section 5.12(b)(i), and if any CMS Report is not so delivered, Purchaser hereby authorizes Seller to request such report directly from CMS and authorizes CMS to deliver such report directly to Seller. In such event: (A) upon receipt of any CMS Report from Purchaser or CMS, as applicable, Seller shall be entitled to calculate each party’s 2017 Enrollee-Based Payment Entitlement and/or 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment Portion, as applicable, relating to such CMS Report(s); and (B) Seller shall deliver to Purchaser (1) a written statement (the “Seller True-Up Statement”) setting forth Seller’s calculation of (x) each party’s 2017 Enrollee-Based Payment Entitlement and/or each party’s 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment Portion, as applicable, and (y) the True-Up Amount, in each case relating to such CMS Report(s), and (2) a copy of each applicable CMS Report. Purchaser shall be deemed to have agreed with the True-Up Amount and all other items and amounts in each Seller True-Up Statement, and each such item and amount shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and Seller for all purposes of this Agreement.

(iii) If Purchaser timely delivers a Purchaser True-Up Statement and the applicable CMS Report(s) in accordance with Section 5.12(b)(i), and Seller disagrees with Purchaser’s calculation of either party’s 2017 Enrollee-Based Payment Entitlement or 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment Portion, as applicable, relating to such CMS Report(s) as set forth in such Purchaser True-Up Statement, Seller may, within 30 Business Days after receipt of such Purchaser True-Up Statement, deliver a notice (a “Notice of True-Up

 

-49-


Disagreement”) to Purchaser disagreeing with either party’s 2017 Enrollee-Based Payment Entitlement and/or 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment Portion, as applicable, as set forth in such Purchaser True-Up Statement, and specifying Seller’s calculation of (A) each party’s 2017 Enrollee-Based Payment Entitlement and/or 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment Portion, as applicable, and (B) the True-Up Amount, in each case relating to such CMS Report(s). If Seller does not timely deliver a Notice of True-Up Disagreement following receipt of a Purchaser True-Up Statement, (1) Seller shall be deemed to have agreed with the True-Up Amount and all other items and amounts contained in such Purchaser True-Up Statement; and (2) each such item and amount shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and Seller for all purposes of this Agreement.

(iv) If Seller timely delivers a Notice of True-Up Disagreement with respect to a Purchaser True-Up Statement, Purchaser and Seller shall, during the 30 Business Days after delivery of such notice, use their respective Commercially Reasonable Efforts to reach agreement on the disputed matters in order to determine (A) each party’s 2017 Enrollee-Based Payment Entitlement and/or 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment Portion, as applicable, relating to the applicable CMS Report(s), each of which amounts shall not be greater than the greatest value for such amount claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such amount claimed by either party, in each case as set forth in the applicable Purchaser True-Up Statement or the applicable Notice of True-Up Disagreement, as applicable, and (B) the True-Up Amount relating to the applicable CMS Report(s). If Purchaser and Seller reach agreement as to the True-Up Amount relating to any CMS Report during such 30 Business Day period, such True-Up Amount and each other item and amount relating to the calculation thereof that is agreed upon by the parties in connection with their agreement as to such True-Up Amount shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and Seller for all purposes of this Agreement.

(v) If Purchaser and Seller are unable to reach agreement as to either party’s 2017 Enrollee-Based Payment Entitlement or 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment Portion, as applicable, relating to a CMS Report during such 30 Business Day period, either party may thereafter cause an independent accounting firm of nationally recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and Seller (the “Accounting Referee”), to promptly review this Agreement and the disputed matters for the purpose of calculating each party’s 2017 Enrollee-Based Payment Entitlement and/or 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment Portion, as applicable, relating to such CMS Report. If the parties submit the dispute to an Accounting Referee, then in making such calculation, the Accounting Referee shall (A) be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the definitions of 2017 Enrollee-Based Payment, 2017 Enrollee-Based Payment Entitlement, 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment, 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment Portion, True-Up Amount and the other terms of this Section 5.12, (B) consider only the disputed matters and (C) not assign a value to any disputed item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party, in each case as set forth in the applicable Purchaser True-Up Statement or the applicable Notice of True-Up Disagreement, as applicable. The Accounting Referee’s determination of any disputed matter shall be based solely on written materials, presentations and arguments submitted and/or made by Purchaser and Seller (i.e., shall not be based on an independent review). The Accounting Referee shall deliver to Purchaser and Seller, as promptly as practicable,

 

-50-


a written report setting forth (1) its calculation of the disputed matters and each party’s 2017 Enrollee-Based Payment Entitlement and/or 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment Portion, as applicable, relating to such CMS Report, each of which amounts shall not be greater than the greatest value for such amount claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such amount claimed by either party, in each case as set forth in the applicable Purchaser True-Up Statement or the applicable Notice of True-Up Disagreement, as applicable, and (2) the True-Up Amount relating to such CMS Report. Such Accounting Referee’s report shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and Seller for all purposes of this Agreement. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee for each report shall be allocated between Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the aggregate dollar value of the items set forth in the Notice of True-Up Disagreement not awarded to Purchaser and Seller bears to the amount actually contested by such party. For example, if Seller claims that the appropriate adjustments are $1,000 greater than the amount determined by Purchaser and if the Accounting Referee ultimately resolves such items by awarding to Seller $300 of the $1,000 contested, then the fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Referee will be allocated thirty percent (30%) (i.e., 300 ÷ 1,000) to Purchaser and seventy percent (70%) (i.e., 700 ÷ 1,000) to Seller.

(vi) Within five Business Days after the True-Up Amount relating to any CMS Report has become final and binding upon Purchaser and Seller pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii), Section 5.12(b)(iii), Section 5.12(b)(iv) or Section 5.12(b)(v), as applicable, Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, shall pay to the other party such True-Up Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by the receiving party.

(vii) Each of Seller and Purchaser agrees that it shall, and agrees at its expense to cause its independent accountants to, cooperate and assist in the calculation of each party’s 2017 Enrollee-Based Payment Entitlement and 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment Portion, as applicable, relating to any CMS Report, and in the conduct of the reviews referred to in this Section 5.12(b), including making available, to the extent reasonably requested, books, records, work papers and personnel in accordance with Section 5.10(c).

(viii) For the avoidance of doubt, (A) each party acknowledges and agrees that amounts received under any Conveyed Medicare Advantage Contracts or the 2017 Seller Medicare Advantage Contracts may fall within the scope of this Section 5.12 if and to the extent that such amounts constitute 2017 Enrollee-Based Payments or 2017 Plan-Based Adjustments, and any such amounts shall be allocated between the parties in accordance with this Section 5.12 notwithstanding the fact that such amounts also constitute Purchased Assets or Excluded Assets, and (B) each party acknowledges and agrees (on behalf of itself and each of its Respective Indemnified Persons) that neither party nor any of its Respective Indemnified Persons shall have any right or remedy against the other party or any of its Respective Indemnified Persons for any matter or claim relating to any report or other communication issued by CMS after December 31, 2018, regardless of whether such report or other communication contains a determination by CMS of (1) any adjustment to or additional payment with respect to any 2017 Enrollee-Based Payments or (2) any 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment.

Section 5.19 Exclusivity. Between the date of this Agreement and the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 8 and the Closing Date, Seller shall not, directly or indirectly (including indirectly through its Representatives), (a) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or induce or take any other action to in any way knowingly facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to (including by way of furnishing information or assistance) a Competing Transaction, (b) engage in or otherwise participate in any negotiations or discussions with any Person (other than any Governmental Authority) concerning, provide any information to, or cooperate in any way with, any Person relating to, any Competing Transaction or (c) agree to, approve or recommend any contract (written or oral), agreement in principle, letter of intent, term sheet or other similar instrument relating to any Competing Transaction. Seller shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any of the foregoing (other than any such discussions with any Governmental Authority) and shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause any such party in possession of confidential information about Seller that was furnished by or on behalf of Seller in connection with the sale process conducted by Seller prior to the date hereof with respect to the Purchased Assets to return or destroy all such information. Seller acknowledges and agrees that any remedy at law for breach of the foregoing covenant may be inadequate and, in addition to any other relief which may be available, Purchaser shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damages, posting bond or providing surety, and without regard to the adequacy of any remedy at Law. Seller represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, (x) it is not engaged in discussions or negotiations with any party other than Purchaser or any Governmental Authority with respect to any of the foregoing, (y) there is no stand-by or back-up contract (written or oral), agreement or other understanding with respect to the sale of the Purchased Assets, and (z) it has terminated all discussions with third parties (other than any Governmental Authorities) with respect to such proposed matters.

Section 5.20 Purchase Option. (a) In consideration of the transactions contemplated hereby, if after the date hereof Seller or any of its Affiliates are required to, or otherwise determine to, divest individual Medicare Advantage plan Contracts in addition to the Conveyed Medicare Advantage Contracts (the portion of such Contracts covering the applicable geographies to be divested, the “Additional Contracts”) in connection with the Humana Acquisition and prior to the closing of the Humana Acquisition, Purchaser shall have the exclusive irrevocable option (the “Option”) to purchase, free and clear of any Liens except Permitted Liens, the Additional Contracts on terms substantially identical to those set forth in this Agreement at a purchase price calculated on a per-Enrollee basis of the amount per Enrollee set forth on Section 5.20(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules, to be adjusted proportionally based on deviation in premium revenue and medical benefit ratio for such Additional Contracts as compared to the Conveyed Medicare Advantage Contracts and such other metrics as the parties shall mutually agree upon. Seller shall provide prompt notice in writing to Purchaser of its intention to divest such Additional Contracts and Purchaser shall have the right to irrevocably exercise the Option with respect to all (but not less than all) of the Additional Contracts within 15 days of receipt of such notice by providing irrevocable written notice of such election to

 

-55-


Seller; provided, however, that if Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing within such 15-day period that it is diligently and in good faith pursuing financing sources to enable it to exercise the Option, then Purchaser shall have up to a total (including the initial 15 days) of 30 days to provide such notice of election to Seller (such 15-day or 30-day period, the “Option Exercise Period”). Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it will exercise the Option and acquire the Additional Contracts if, in Purchaser’s good faith and reasonable judgment, (i) the acquisition of the Additional Contracts pursuant to this Section 5.20, and (ii) the acquisition of the Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement, considered together and as a whole, are commercially reasonable. If Purchaser exercises the Option during the Option Exercise Period (including any extension of the Option Exercise Period pursuant to Section 5.20(b) below), Purchaser and Seller will enter into an amendment to this Agreement or an agreement on substantially similar terms as this Agreement promptly after such exercise providing for Purchaser’s purchase of the Additional Contracts. If Purchaser does not exercise the Option within the Option Exercise Period (including any extension of the Option Exercise Period pursuant to Section 5.20(b) below), Seller shall be free to sell, divest or otherwise transfer the Additional Contracts to one or more Persons without restriction thereafter and this Option shall thereafter terminate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser agrees that all of Purchaser’s rights under this Section 5.20 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the grant of the Option to Purchaser) shall terminate on the earlier to occur of (1) the closing of the Humana Acquisition and (2) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 8.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.20(a), if Seller reasonably and in good faith determines that Purchaser’s purchase of the Additional Contracts pursuant to the Option is not reasonably likely to be consummated in a timely manner in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement, including Section 5.20, taking into account, among other things, any governmental or other Consent requirements for (or potential governmental challenges to) such purchase and the likelihood that such Consents will be obtained (or such challenges overcome) in a timely manner, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing of such determination, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail Seller’s concerns underlying such determination, and Purchaser shall have 10 days after receipt of such notice to reasonably respond to the issues raised by Seller. If after such 10-day period, Purchaser is unable to reasonably address Seller’s concerns as determined in Seller’s reasonable good faith judgment, then Seller shall not be required to offer the Additional Contracts to Purchaser pursuant to the Option, and Purchaser shall not have the right to purchase the Additional Contracts pursuant to the Option. Alternatively, if during such 10-day period, Purchaser is able to reasonably address Seller’s concerns as determined in Seller’s reasonable good faith judgment, then the Option Exercise Period shall be extended for such additional period of time (up to 10 days) for Purchaser and Seller to resolve any issues raised by Seller under this Section 5.20(b).

Section 5.21 Humana Purchase Agreement. Without Seller’s prior written consent, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, amend, waive, alter or otherwise modify the Humana APA.

Section 5.22 2018 Bids. (a) From the date hereof until the Closing Date, subject to applicable Law, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, provide Purchaser with copies of all business and financial books, records and data maintained by or on behalf of Seller and its

(i) with respect to any 2018 Bid Information relating to any county in the Applicable Service Area in which Purchaser or any of its Affiliates offers or is planning to offer Medicare Advantage plans directly to individuals, such 2018 Bid Information shall not be provided to Purchaser and shall instead be provided to a third-party consultant designated by Purchaser, subject to the prior written consent of Seller, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (such consultant, the “Reviewing Consultant”), and the Reviewing Consultant may not share any 2018 Bid Information or any notes, summaries, analyses or compilations derived, in whole or in part, from any 2018 Bid Information, with Purchaser, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives prior to the Closing;

(ii) with respect to any 2018 Bid Information provided to Purchaser, Purchaser shall ensure that such 2018 Bid Information is provided or otherwise accessible only to those of Purchaser’s and its Affiliates’ employees who are responsible for preparing Purchaser’s and its Affiliates’ 2018 Bids, and such employees may not share any 2018 Bid Information or any notes, summaries, analyses or compilations derived, in whole or in part, from any 2018 Bid Information, with any other employees or other Representatives of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates prior to the Closing;

(iii) Seller acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding Section 5.10(c)(i)(A)(3), the 2018 Bid Information shall include business and financial books, records and data maintained by or on behalf of Seller and its Affiliates of the types referred to in Section 5.10(c)(i)(A)(3) (in either aggregated or, if required, unaggregated), to the extent that such books, records and data are required to prepare the 2018 Bids (the books, records and data referred to in this clause (iii), collectively, “Sensitive 2018 Bid Information”); and

(iv) Seller shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, provide the 2018 Bid Information to Purchaser or the Reviewing Consultant, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 5.22(a) promptly after the 2018 Bid Information becomes available to Seller’s and its Affiliates’ own employees who are responsible for preparing Seller’s and its Affiliates’ 2018 Bids.

(b) Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives (including, if applicable, the Reviewing Consultant) to, (i) keep the 2018 Bid Information confidential, (ii) use the 2018 Bid Information solely for the purpose of preparing the 2018 Bids and (iii) return or destroy (A) the Sensitive 2018 Bid Information, including any notes, summaries, analyses and compilations derived, in whole or in part, from the Sensitive 2018 Bid Information, promptly after the earlier of (1) the submission of the 2018 Bids to CMS, regardless of whether Seller and its Affiliates, or Purchaser and its Affiliates, submit their respective 2018

 

-57-


Bids to CMS pursuant to Section 5.22(c), and (2) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms and (B) all other 2018 Bid Information, including any notes, summaries, analyses and compilations derived, in whole or in part, from such 2018 Bid Information, promptly after any request by Seller to do so following the earlier of (1) the submission of Seller’s and its Affiliates’ 2018 Bids to CMS, if Seller and its Affiliates submit the 2018 Bids pursuant to Section 5.22(c), and (2) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. Purchaser shall be liable to Seller for any breach of Sections 5.22(a) or 5.22(b) by any of its Affiliates or Representatives (including, if applicable the Reviewing Consultant).

(c) Seller and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Purchaser and its Affiliates, on the other hand, shall prepare their own respective 2018 Bids. If the Closing occurs after June 1, 2017, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, submit their respective 2018 Bids to CMS when due. If the Closing occurs on or before June 1, 2017, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, submit their respective 2018 Bids to CMS when due.

(d) Each party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, prepare their respective 2018 Bids in good faith and in compliance with applicable Laws. Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, prepare their respective 2018 Bids in the ordinary course of business consistent with Seller’s and its Affiliates’ practices for the preparation of bids with respect to the entry into Contracts pursuant to which Medicare Advantage plans will be offered directly to individuals outside of the Applicable Service Area for calendar year 2018, and Seller shall cause its and its Affiliates’ respective 2018 Bids to be for individual Medicare Advantage plans for calendar year 2018 that in each case have a plan design that is capable of being supported by Purchaser’s and its Affiliates’ existing systems and vendor agreements. Unless Purchaser shall have terminated the Administrative Services Agreement in accordance with its terms with respect to calendar year 2018 prior to the submission of the 2018 Bids to CMS, Purchaser shall cause its and its Affiliates’ respective 2018 Bids to be for individual Medicare Advantage plans for calendar year 2018 that in each case have a plan design that is capable of being supported by Seller’s and its Affiliates’ existing systems and vendor agreements. Seller shall ensure that none of its or its Affiliates’ 2018 Bids are prepared by employees of Seller or any of its Affiliates who are responsible for preparing Humana’s individual Medicare Advantage bids.

Claim”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought under such Section. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances of such Third-Party Claim and the basis for indemnification in respect thereof, including the specific Section or Sections hereof that the Indemnified Party claims to have been breached (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party) and the Section or Sections hereof pursuant to which the Indemnified Party claims to be entitled to indemnification hereunder. The failure of the Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. Following delivery of the initial notice with respect to a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all written notices and other documents (including any court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to such Third-Party Claim, and the Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with such other information with respect to such Third-Party Claim as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 7.04(b), shall be entitled to control and appoint lead counsel of the Indemnifying Party’s choice for such defense, in each case at the Indemnifying Party’s own expense, if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within 30 days after receipt of the initial notice with respect to such Third-Party Claim from the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 7.04(a); provided that, if such Third-Party Claim relates to or arises out of any criminal enforcement action against the Indemnified Party or seeks as its primary remedy equitable or injunctive relief against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to control the defense of such Third-Party Claim and appoint lead counsel of the Indemnified Party’s choice for such defense (so long as such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party), in each case at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, if the Indemnified Party gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnifying Party within 30 days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware that either of the above circumstances exists with respect to such Third-Party Claim.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the control of the defense of any Third-Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.04, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) before entering into any settlement of such Third-Party Claim, if the settlement (1) does not release the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such Third-Party Claim or (2) imposes injunctive or other equitable relief on the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates that limits the operation of the business of any of such Persons and (ii) the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice and at its own expense. The Indemnified Party shall not settle any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(d) Each party shall cooperate, and cause its Affiliates to cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third-Party Claim, and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

Section 7.05 Direct Claim Procedures. If an Indemnified Party has a claim for indemnity under Section 7.02(a) or 7.03(a) against the Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”), the Indemnified Party agrees to give prompt notice thereof in writing to the Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances of such Direct Claim and the basis for indemnification in respect thereof, including the specific Section or Sections hereof that the Indemnified Party claims to have been breached (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party) and the Section or Sections hereof pursuant to which the Indemnified Party claims to be entitled to indemnification hereunder. The failure of the Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

Section 7.06 Calculation of Damages. (a) The amount of any Damages payable under Section 7.02(a) or 7.03(a), as applicable, by the Indemnifying Party shall be decreased by any (i) amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies or from any other Person alleged to be responsible therefor and (ii) Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party (in cash or as a reduction in Taxes otherwise due) arising from the incurrence or payment of such Damages. If the Indemnified Party receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies, or from any other Person alleged to be responsible for any Damages, after the Indemnifying Party makes an indemnification payment in respect of such Damages, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification payment up to the amount received by the Indemnified Party.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under Section 7.02(a) or 7.03(a), as applicable, for any Damages relating to any matter to the extent that the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates has recovered for such Damages under another provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.

(c) Each Indemnified Party shall use its respective Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mitigate in accordance with applicable Law any Damages for which such Indemnified Party may seek indemnification under this Agreement; provided that any Damages incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with efforts to mitigate any Damages pursuant to this Section 7.06 shall constitute Damages incurred by such Indemnified Party for which such Indemnified Party shall be indemnified pursuant to this Article 7.

(d) Each Indemnified Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to collect any amounts available under applicable insurance policies, or from any other Person alleged to be responsible, for or with respect to any Damages payable by the Indemnifying Party under Section 7.02(a) or 7.03(a), as applicable.

Section 7.07 Assignment of Claims. If the Indemnified Party receives any payment from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Damages pursuant to Section 7.02(a) or 7.03(a), as

 

-65-


applicable, and the Indemnified Party could have recovered all or a part of such Damages from a third party based on the underlying claim asserted by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party hereby assigns such of its rights to proceed against such third party as are necessary to permit the Indemnifying Party to recover from such third party the amount of such payment; provided that such assignment would not reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the business, affairs, customer, Enrollee, Provider or supplier relationships or prospects of the business of such Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party’s right to seek coverage from any subrogation with respect to insurance carriers shall not be subject to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

Section 7.08 Exclusive Remedy. From and after the Closing, except (a) as expressly provided in Section 2.09 (Purchase Price Adjustment), Section 2.10 (Additional Adjustment to Purchase Price), Section 5.12 (2017 Calendar Year True-Ups), Section 5.16 (Tax Matters) or the other Transaction Documents or (b) with respect to (i) actual and intentional fraud by either party with respect to its representations and warranties expressly contained herein, and (ii) equitable relief pursuant to Section 9.12, each party acknowledges and agrees (in the case of Purchaser, on behalf of itself and each of the other Purchaser Indemnified Persons, and in the case of Seller, on behalf of itself and each of the other Seller Indemnified Persons (in each case, such party’s “Respective Indemnified Persons”)) that the sole and exclusive remedy of such party and its Respective Indemnified Persons against the other party or its Respective Indemnified Persons for any matter or claim relating to the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Excluded Liabilities, the Existing Medicare Advantage Plans, the 2017 Seller Medicare Advantage Plans, Purchaser’s Medicare Advantage Plans, the Existing Medicare Advantage Contracts, the 2017 Seller Medicare Advantage Contracts, this Agreement, the subject matter hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby (including any claim for breach of contract and misrepresentation or breach of warranty under this Agreement) shall be as provided by this Article 7.

Section 7.09 Purchase Price Adjustment. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, any amount paid under this Article 7 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price paid hereunder.

Section 7.10 Additional Indemnity Provisions. The indemnification rights of the parties hereunder shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of determining whether there has been a breach of representation or warranty resulting in a claim for indemnification hereunder (but not for purposes of determining the amount of Damages), each representation and warranty contained in this Agreement shall be read without regard and without giving effect to any “materiality” or “material adverse effect” standard or qualification contained in such representation or warranty (as if such standard or qualification was deleted from such representation and warranty).

(b) Each party acknowledges that any rights to indemnification of the other party or its Respective Indemnified Persons for breach of the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of the first such party contained in this Agreement, and the rights and

 

-66-


remedies that may be exercised by the other party hereunder, are part of the basis of the bargain contemplated by this Agreement, and neither party’s rights to indemnification under this Agreement shall be limited, waived or otherwise affected by virtue of (and each party shall be deemed to have relied on the express representations and warranties of the other party set forth in this Agreement notwithstanding) any knowledge on the part of such party or any of its Affiliates or Representatives, of any inaccuracy of any such representation or warranty of the other party set forth in this Agreement, regardless of whether such knowledge was obtained through such party’s own investigation or otherwise (including disclosure by the other party or any of its Affiliates or Representatives), and regardless of whether such knowledge was obtained before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

-67-


cured by Seller within 45 days following written notice to Seller from Purchaser of such breach or failure to perform, but only so long as Purchaser is not then in breach of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach by Purchaser would cause any condition set forth in Section 6.03(a) or Section 6.03(b) not to be satisfied;

(f) by Seller if a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Purchaser set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that would cause any condition set forth in Section 6.03(a) or Section 6.03(b) not to be satisfied, and such breach or failure to perform (i) is incapable of being cured or (ii) has not been cured by Purchaser within 45 days following written notice to Purchaser from Seller of such breach or failure to perform, but only so long as Seller is not then in breach of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach by Seller would cause any condition set forth in Section 6.02(a) or Section 6.02(b) not to be satisfied;

Section 8.02 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated as permitted by Section 8.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void, and such termination shall be without Liability of either party or their respective Affiliates (or their respective Representatives or equityholders) to the other party, except as provided in Section 8.03(a); provided that, subject to Section 8.03(b), if such termination shall result from the intentional failure of either party to (a) fulfill a condition to the performance of the obligations of the other party or (b) perform any covenant or agreement of such party contained herein, such intentionally failing party shall be fully liable for any and all Damages or other Liability incurred or suffered by the other party as a result of such failure. The provisions of this Section 8.02, Section 8.03, the last sentence of Section 5.05(b), Section 5.22(b), Article 9 (other than Section 9.12) and, for the avoidance of doubt, each of the Confidentiality Agreements shall survive any termination hereof pursuant to Section 8.01.

Section 8.03 Applicable Termination Fee. (a)(i) If this Agreement is terminated on or prior to December 31, 2016 (A) by Seller pursuant to Section 8.01(b), Section 8.01(d), Section 8.01(g) or Section 8.01(h) (in each case, other than in the event that the circumstances giving rise to such right to termination were proximately caused by Purchaser’s material breach of this Agreement) or (B) by either party under Section 8.01(c)(i) as a result of an Order relating to the Humana Acquisition Litigation (other than in the event that the circumstances giving rise to such right to termination were proximately caused by Purchaser’s material breach of this Agreement) or Section 8.01(j) (but only if termination pursuant to this provision is in connection with termination of the Humana APA as a result of an Applicable Termination (as defined thereunder)) (each of the terminations described in clauses (A) and (B) above, an “Applicable Termination”), then Seller shall pay or cause to be paid to Purchaser a fee in the amount of (1) the Applicable Portion of Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000), plus (2) the Applicable Portion of Purchaser’s Transaction Costs; (ii) if this Agreement is terminated on or after January 1, 2017 and prior to July 1, 2017 pursuant to an Applicable Termination, then Seller shall pay or cause to be paid to Purchaser a fee in the amount of (1) the Applicable Portion of Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000), plus (2) the Applicable Portion of Purchaser’s Transaction Costs; and (iii) if this Agreement is terminated on or after July 1, 2017 pursuant to an Applicable Termination, then Seller shall pay or cause to be paid to Purchaser a fee in the amount of (1) the Applicable Portion of One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000), plus (2) the Applicable Portion of Purchaser’s Transaction Costs (the amount referred to in the foregoing clause (i), (ii) or (iii), as applicable, the “Applicable Termination Fee”) as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within five Business Days following such termination) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Purchaser.

(b) The parties agree and understand that in no event shall Seller be required to pay or cause to be paid the Applicable Termination Fee on more than one occasion, and in no event shall Purchaser be entitled to receive an amount greater than the Applicable Termination Fee pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) if Purchaser receives the Applicable Termination Fee from Seller pursuant to this Section 8.03, such payment shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser and its Respective

 

-69-


Indemnified Persons against Seller and its Respective Indemnified Persons and their respective former, current or future partners, stockholders, managers, members, Affiliates and Representatives relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and none of Seller or its Respective Indemnified Persons shall have any further Liability relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) if Purchaser or any of its Respective Indemnified Persons receives any payments from Seller or any of its Respective Indemnified Persons in respect of any breach of this Agreement and thereafter Purchaser receives the Applicable Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 8.03, the amount of the Applicable Termination Fee shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of such payments made by Seller and its Respective Indemnified Persons in respect of any such breach. The parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.03 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby, and that, without these agreements, the parties would not enter into this Agreement and that any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 8.03 do not constitute a penalty. Accordingly, if Seller fails to promptly pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.03, Seller shall also pay any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses) incurred by Purchaser in connection with a legal action to enforce this Agreement that results in a judgment for such amount against Seller failing to promptly pay such amount. Any amount not paid when due pursuant to this Section 8.03 shall bear interest from the date such amount is due until the date paid at a rate equal to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition in effect on the date of such payment.

Section 9.13 Waiver of Claims. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller (on behalf of itself and any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives) hereby waives any rights or claims against the Financing Source or its Representatives (which for the avoidance of doubt shall exclude Purchaser and its Affiliates) in connection with this Agreement or the Debt Commitment Letter (whether in law, equity, tort, contract or otherwise) or in respect of any oral or written representations made or alleged to be made by a Financing Source in connection herewith or therewith and Seller (on behalf of itself and any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives) agrees not to commence any action or proceeding against the Financing Source or its Representatives (which for the avoidance of doubt shall exclude Purchaser and its Affiliates) in connection with this Agreement or the Debt Commitment Letter. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing waiver, it is acknowledged and agreed that neither the Financing Source nor its Representatives shall have any liability for any claims or damages to Seller in connection with this Agreement or the Debt Commitment Letter or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

Section 2.09 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Within 30 calendar days after Purchaser’s receipt of the monthly membership roster issued by CMS in the second (2nd) month following the later of (x) the Enrollee Measurement Date and (y) the end of any Special Opt Out Period (such 30-calendar day period, the “Purchase Price Calculation Period” and such monthly CMS membership roster, the “Monthly Membership Report”, which Purchase Price Calculation Period shall be extended for up to an additional 30 calendar days if Purchaser makes a written request of Seller prior to the expiration of the initial Purchase Price Calculation Period reasonably documenting the reason for such extension), Purchaser shall deliver to Seller (i) a written statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”) setting forth Purchaser’s calculation of the Purchase Price, which shall be calculated based solely on the number of Purchaser Enrollees as of the first date that is on or after the later of the Enrollee Measurement Date and the end of any Special Opt Out Period as shown on the Monthly Membership Report (and, for the avoidance of doubt, will not be based, in whole or in part, on any other information including any records of Seller, Purchaser or any other Person, including CMS) and (ii) a copy of the Monthly Membership Report. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the following meanings:

(b) If Purchaser fails to deliver the Post-Closing Statement and the Monthly Membership Report during the Purchase Price Calculation Period (including any extension of the Purchase Price Calculation Period in accordance with Section 2.09(a)), Purchaser shall still be required to deliver to Seller the Monthly Membership Report in accordance with Section 2.09(a) and if such report is not delivered, Purchaser authorizes Seller to request such report directly from CMS, and authorizes CMS to deliver such report directly to Seller, and, in such event, upon receipt of the Monthly Membership Report from Purchaser or CMS, as applicable, Seller shall be entitled to calculate the Purchase Price based solely on the Monthly Membership Report, and such amount, as calculated by Seller, shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and Seller for all purposes of this Agreement.

(c) If Purchaser delivers the Post-Closing Statement and the Monthly Membership Report during the Purchase Price Calculation Period (including any extension of the Purchase Price Calculation Period in accordance with Section 2.09(a)) and Seller disagrees with Purchaser’s calculation of the Purchase Price set forth on the Post-Closing Statement, Seller may, within 30 calendar days after receipt of the Post-Closing Statement, deliver a notice (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Purchaser which notice shall describe the nature of any such disagreement in reasonable detail, identify the specific items involved, and specify Seller’s calculation of the Purchase Price. If Seller delivers to Purchaser a notice accepting the Post-Closing Statement, or does not timely deliver any Notice of Disagreement, Seller shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts contained in the Post-Closing Statement.

(d) If Seller timely delivers a Notice of Disagreement, Purchaser and Seller shall, during the 30 calendar days after delivery thereof, use their respective Commercially Reasonable Efforts to reach agreement on the disputed matters in order to determine the Purchase Price. If Purchaser and Seller are unable to reach agreement as to the Purchase Price during such 30-calendar day period, then either party may bring an Action to determine the Purchase Price in the courts provided for by Section 9.07.

(e) If the Adjusted Purchase Price is greater than the Closing Payment, then Purchaser shall pay the amount of such difference to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by Seller prior to such payment. If the Adjusted Purchase Price is less than the Closing Payment, Seller shall pay the amount of such difference to Purchaser, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by Purchaser. The payment required to be made by Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, pursuant to the immediately preceding sentences will be made within three Business Days of the determination of the Adjusted Purchase Price.

Section 2.10 Additional Adjustment to Purchase Price.

(a) Between the date hereof until the Closing Date, in the event that a CMS Sanction is imposed on Seller that individually or in the aggregate with any and all other CMS Sanctions imposed on Seller between the date hereof and the Closing Date has a material adverse effect on Seller’s ability to provide the services under the Administrative Services Agreement, Seller shall provide prompt written notice to Purchaser of such CMS Sanction along with a reasonably detailed explanation of the impact that the CMS Sanction will have on Seller’s ability to provide the services under the Administrative Services Agreement (“Sellers CMS Sanction Notice”).

(b) During the 30 calendar days after the delivery of Seller’s CMS Sanction Notice, Purchaser and Seller shall use their respective Commercially Reasonable Efforts to reach agreement on the Damages that the CMS Sanction will have on Purchaser’s performance and operation of the Conveyed Medicare Advantage Contracts after the Closing (it being understood and agreed that, among other things, the impact (and the reasonably expected impact) of any remediation or other offsetting actions that Seller or any of its Affiliates undertakes or has taken shall be taken into account in determining the Damages that the CMS Sanction will have on Purchaser’s performance and operation of the Conveyed Medicare Advantage Contracts after the Closing; provided, however, that in the event Seller and/or any of its Affiliates has determined to undertake any remediation or other offsetting actions pursuant to this Section 2.10(b), then Seller shall covenant and agree in writing to Purchaser to promptly perform or cause to be performed such actions; and provided, further, that in no event shall such Damages be deemed to be greater than the Adjusted Purchase Price for purposes of this Section 2.10) (such Damages, the “Purchasers Damages”). Purchaser shall, within such 30-calendar day period, deliver written notice to Seller, specifying Purchaser’s reasonable good faith determination of the Purchaser’s Damages (the “Purchasers Notice”) along with reasonable detail supporting such determination. If Purchaser timely delivers the Purchaser’s Notice within such 30-day period and Seller disagrees with Purchaser’s determination of the Purchaser’s Damages, Seller may,

 

-20-


within 10 calendar days after receiving the Purchaser’s Notice, deliver a notice (the “Seller’s Response Notice”) to Purchaser, which notice shall describe the nature of such disagreement in reasonable detail, specifying Seller’s reasonable good faith determination of the Purchaser’s Damages and identifying any specific item(s) of dispute.

(c) If the greater of the two calculations of the Purchaser’s Damages set forth in each of the Purchaser’s Notice and the Seller’s Response Notice is less than twenty percent (20%) greater than the lesser of such two calculations, then the Purchaser’s Damages shall be the average of the two calculations of the Purchaser’s Damages set forth in the Purchaser’s Notice and the Seller’s Response Notice. If the greater of the two calculations of the Purchaser’s Damages set forth in the Purchaser’s Notice and the Seller’s Response Notice is equal to or more than twenty percent (20%) greater than the lesser of such two calculations, then either party may thereafter upon notice to the other party cause a Neutral Arbitrator to promptly review this Agreement and the disputed matters for purposes of determining the Purchaser’s Damages.

(d) If the parties submit the dispute to the Neutral Arbitrator, then in making its calculation of the Purchaser’s Damages, the Neutral Arbitrator shall (i) be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the terms of this Section 2.10, (ii) consider only the disputed matters, and (iii) determine the value of the Purchaser’s Damages by choosing either the calculation of Purchaser’s Damages set forth on the Purchaser’s Notice or the calculation of Purchaser’s Damages set forth on the Seller’s Response Notice. The Neutral Arbitrator’s determination of the Purchaser’s Damages shall be based solely on written materials, presentations and arguments submitted and/or made by Purchaser and Seller (i.e., shall not be based on an independent review). The Neutral Arbitrator shall deliver to Purchaser and Seller, as promptly as practicable, a written report setting forth its determination of the Purchaser’s Damages. Such Neutral Arbitrator’s report shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and Seller for all purposes of this Agreement. The fees and expenses of the Neutral Arbitrator shall be paid by the party whose calculation of the Purchaser’s Damages that the Arbitrator did not choose.

(e) The parties agree that the Adjusted Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of any Purchaser’s Damages as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.10(c) and Section 2.10(d), but not below zero. Further, in the event that final determination of the Purchaser’s Damages is not made until a date following the determination of the Adjusted Purchase Price, Seller shall promptly (and in any event not more than 30 days after the date of final determination made in accordance with Section 2.10(c) or Section 2.10(d)) deliver the amount of the Purchaser’s Damages to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by Purchaser. Purchaser may also elect in writing to offset the amount of any Purchaser’s Damages as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.10(c) and Section 2.10(d) in whole or in part against any amounts payable by Purchaser under the Administrative Services Agreement.

Section 2.11 Allocation of Purchase Price.

(a) As promptly as practicable after the Purchase Price (as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.09, Section 2.10 and Section 2.12) is finally determined, but not later than 45 days thereafter, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a statement (the “Allocation Statement”), allocating the Purchase Price (plus Assumed Liabilities, to the extent properly taken into account under

 

-21-


Section 1060 of the Code) among the Purchased Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code. If, within 10 days after the delivery of the Allocation Statement, Seller notifies Purchaser in writing that Purchaser objects to the allocation set forth in the Allocation Statement, Purchaser and Seller shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to resolve such dispute within 20 days. In the event that Purchaser and Seller are unable to resolve such dispute within 20 days, Purchaser and Seller shall jointly retain an independent certified public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing (other than any such firm that audited the financial statements of Purchaser or Seller or any Affiliate of either within the three calendar years before such retention) reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and Seller to determine the appropriate allocation of the disputed items. Upon allocation of the disputed items by such independent accounting firm, the allocation reflected on the Allocation Statement shall be adjusted accordingly, and such adjusted Allocation Statement shall be the Allocation Statement for all purposes of this Agreement. The costs, fees and expenses of the independent accounting firm shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller.

(b) Each of Seller and Purchaser agrees, except as required by a Final Determination, to (i) be bound by the Allocation Statement for Tax purposes and (ii) act in accordance with the Allocation Statement in the preparation, filing and audit of any Tax Return (including filing Form 8594 with its federal income Tax Return for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date).

(c) Not later than 30 days prior to the filing of their respective Forms 8594 relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, each party shall deliver to the other party a copy of its Form 8594.

Section 2.12 Reduction in Applicable Service Area. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Humana Acquisition Litigation is finally and non-appealably resolved (including by settlement) prior to the Closing, or is resolved and such resolution has not yet been appealed prior to the Closing, and Seller is required pursuant to or in connection with such resolution (whether by DOJ, the U.S. District Court overseeing the Humana Acquisition Litigation (the “Overseeing Court”) or otherwise) (such resolution, the “Final Resolution”) to divest to Purchaser individual Medicare Advantage plan Contracts covering fewer states and/or counties than are included in the Applicable Service Area as of the date hereof (the “Original Service Area”) in order to consummate the Humana Acquisition, then Seller shall have the option (the “Applicable Service Area Reduction Option”), in Seller’s sole discretion, exercisable by written notice to Purchaser prior to the Closing Date, to amend Sections 1.01(a)(iv) and 1.01(a)(v) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules to remove certain states and/or counties in which Seller is not required to make divestitures from the Applicable Service Area (such amended Applicable Service Area, the ”Final Service Area”) in accordance with the following:

(i) Seller shall have the right to remove any and all counties and/or states in which Seller is not required to make divestitures pursuant to the Final Resolution so long as the total number of all Applicable Seller Enrollees together with any “Applicable Seller Enrollees” as defined in the Aetna APA (collectively, the “Required Divestiture Enrollees”) is at least one hundred seventy five thousand (175,000).

 

-22-


(ii) In the event that the total number of Required Divestiture Enrollees is less than one hundred seventy five thousand (175,000), then the Final Service Area shall include the Divested Service Area and additional counties from the Original Service Area (collectively, the “Additional Service Area”) as follows:

(A) Section 2.12(a)(ii) of the Purchaser Disclosure Schedules sets forth the states within the Original Service Area sequentially arranged in order of Purchaser’s priority (the “Preferred Service Area List”);

(B) beginning with the first state on the Preferred Service Area List, if the Divested Service Area includes any county within such state, then starting from the largest such county, each county that is (i) closest (and thereafter, next closest) in proximity to such county within such state and (ii) included in the Original Service Area, shall be included in the Final Service Area until the total number of Required Divestiture Enrollees, together with the total number of all Additional Seller Enrollees and any “Additional Seller Enrollees” as defined in the Aetna APA (collectively, the “Aggregate Enrollees”), is at least one hundred seventy five thousand (175,000);

(C) in the event the Aggregate Enrollees do not equal at least one hundred seventy five thousand (175,000) following the process set forth in Section 2.12(a)(ii)(B) above, such process shall be repeated for each state in which any county is included in the Divested Service Area and counties within such state in the priority set forth on the Preferred Service Area List until the total number of Aggregate Enrollees is at least one hundred seventy five thousand (175,000);

(D) in the event the Aggregate Enrollees do not equal at least one hundred seventy five thousand (175,000) following the process set forth in Section 2.12(a)(ii)(C) above, such process shall be repeated with respect to any states and counties within such states that are included in the Original Service Area but which are not included in the Divested Services Area in the priority set forth on the Preferred Service Area List and otherwise as reasonably agreed by the parties until the total number of Aggregate Enrollees is at least one hundred seventy five thousand (175,000); and

(E) thereafter, Seller shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to remove any remaining counties and/or states from the Final Service Area.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, no Seller Enrollees covered by the Applicable RPPO Contract shall be included in the Aggregate Enrollees for purposes of meeting the threshold required in Section 2.12(a)(ii). Additionally, if Seller exercises the Applicable Service Area Reduction Option, from and after the exercise thereof, among other consequences

 

-23-


hereunder, the Applicable Service Area shall be limited to the smaller number of states and/or counties on Sections 1.01(a)(iv) and 1.01(a)(v) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules as amended pursuant to the Applicable Service Area Reduction Option, the Conveyed Medicare Advantage Contracts shall be limited to individual Medicare Advantage plan Contracts covering such smaller number of states and/or counties and the Seller Enrollees and Purchaser Enrollees shall be limited to natural persons who reside in such smaller number of states and/or counties, in each case for all purposes of this Agreement, including the determination of the scope of the Purchased Assets and the amount of the Purchase Price hereunder.

(c) If Seller exercises the Applicable Service Area Reduction Option, and the Final Service Area includes any Additional Service Area pursuant to Section 2.12(a)(ii), then, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use best efforts to consummate the closing of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities with respect to the Divested Service Area hereunder as promptly as practicable, without delay due to the inclusion of the Additional Service Area in the Final Service Area pursuant to Section 2.12(a)(ii) (including, if necessary or advisable, by means of an initial closing with respect to the Divested Service Area hereunder and a subsequent closing with respect to the Additional Service Area hereunder).

(d) If Seller is required pursuant to or in connection with the Final Resolution to divest individual Medicare Advantage plan Contracts covering states and/or counties outside of the Original Service Area, and Purchaser agrees in writing to purchase such Contracts, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that natural persons who reside (as defined by applicable Law) in such states and/or counties and are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan offered by Seller or any of its Affiliates directly to individuals in such state and/or counties pursuant to any such Contract shall count towards the threshold required in Section 2.12(a)(ii), as if such persons were “Aggregate Enrollees” hereunder, and the impact of counting such persons in such manner on the operation of Section 2.12(a)(ii) shall be as reasonably agreed by the parties.

Section 2.13 Regional PPO. If, at or prior to the Closing, the Contract pursuant to which Seller and its Affiliates operate a regional preferred provider organization in the counties of the Applicable Service Area set forth on Section 2.13 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules (the “Applicable RPPO Contract”) is split or converted into, or the membership under the Applicable RPPO Contract in such counties is assigned, transferred to, or enrolled in, one or more Contracts pursuant to which a local preferred provider organization may be operated in such counties (each, an “LPPO Contract”), then from and after such split, conversion, assignment, transfer or enrollment, each resulting LPPO Contract shall be deemed to be a “Conveyed Medicare Advantage Contract” for all purposes of this Agreement, and Purchaser shall purchase each such LPPO Contract at the Closing on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement with respect to the other Conveyed Medicare Advantage Contracts. Upon Seller’s request, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate with Seller and its Affiliates in connection with (1) any split or conversion of the Applicable RPPO Contract into, or assignment, transfer or enrollment of the membership thereunder to or in, one or more LPPO Contracts or (2) any alternative structure proposed by Seller that seeks to transfer the Applicable RPPO Contract or the membership thereunder in the applicable counties to Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have the option, exercisable by written

 

-24-


notice to Purchaser for any reason at any time prior to the Closing, not to (i) split, convert or otherwise transfer membership under the Applicable RPPO Contract into one or more LPPO Contracts or (ii) sell to Purchaser pursuant hereto any LPPO Contract (or portion thereof, including on a county-by-county basis) resulting from the split or conversion of, or other transfer of membership under, the Applicable RPPO Contract into one or more LPPO Contracts, and if Seller exercises such option, the provisions of this Section 2.13 shall terminate without Liability of either party or their respective Affiliates with respect to the applicable LPPO Contract(s) (or portion(s) thereof).

-39-


Law, each party shall furnish (subject to the terms set forth in Section 5.10(c)), to the other party such information and assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of the filing or submission of such request, and keep the other party reasonably apprised of any communications with, and inquiries or requests for additional information from, CMS or any other Governmental Authority. Additionally, each party shall, to the extent practicable, provide the other party at least one (1) Business Day’s advance written notice of the time and subject matter of any material meetings or material communications with CMS relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and the other party shall, to the extent practicable and permitted by CMS, have the right to attend and participate in any such material meetings or material conversations. Additionally, each party shall be entitled to receive any materials prepared by and/or made available to the other party in connection with such meetings or conversations and to learn of the content of such communications (subject to limitations reasonably necessary to preserve attorney-client privilege; provided, however, that in the event either party shall invoke such privilege and such privilege would be preserved through a joint defense agreement entered into between Purchaser and Seller or any of its Affiliates, then Seller and Purchaser shall use their Commercially Reasonable Efforts to enter into a mutually acceptable joint defense agreement (or similar agreement)) (it being understood and agreed that the obligations set forth in this Section 5.03(b) and Section 5.03(c) shall be Seller’s only obligations with respect to keeping Purchaser apprised of matters relating to the Humana Acquisition Litigation). Each party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use their best efforts to obtain as promptly as reasonably practical, effective as of the Closing, the Medicare Advantage Contract Novations and to satisfy all other requirements applicable to the Medicare Advantage Contract Novations pursuant to 42 C.F.R. §§ 422.550-552.

(d) Without Seller’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise), acquire, purchase, lease or license (or agree to acquire, purchase, lease or license) any business, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association or other business organization or division or part thereof, or any securities or collection of assets, or enter into any new line of business (any such transaction, a “Proposed Transaction”), if doing so would reasonably be expected to: (i) impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or materially increase the risk of not obtaining, any

 

-40-


Consent of any Governmental Authority necessary to consummate any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period; (ii) materially increase the risk of any Governmental Authority entering an Order prohibiting the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby; (iii) materially increase the risk of not being able to remove any such Order on appeal or otherwise; or (iv) otherwise prevent or materially delay the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.03(d) shall prohibit Purchaser from engaging in a Proposed Transaction that exclusively involves Medicaid assets or if the target’s health insurance or health plan business is solely a Medicaid business so long as such Proposed Transaction would not cause Purchaser to be in breach of any of its representations and warranties hereunder (in each case, as if made at the time of such Proposed Transaction, rather than as of the date of this Agreement).

(e) In addition, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts, as reasonably requested by Seller and at Seller’s cost and expense in the case of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser and its Affiliates in connection therewith, to cooperate with Seller, Aetna and their respective Affiliates in connection with their efforts to defend the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and this Agreement in the Humana Acquisition Litigation, including participating in meetings with DOJ and the Overseeing Court, and sharing with Seller or its legal counsel, as appropriate, documents, data and other information that Seller or its legal counsel may reasonably request related to any products or services that are the subject of the Humana Acquisition Litigation.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each party acknowledges and agrees that nothing herein shall obligate, or be construed to obligate, Seller or any of its Affiliates to, or to agree to, (i) sell, divest, hold separate, discontinue, limit or otherwise dispose of any property or assets of such Person or any of its Affiliates, (ii) defend against any Action challenging this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) agree to any conditions (including in any consent decree) relating to, or changes or restrictions in, the current or future operations or ownership of such Person or any of its Affiliates or (iv) take any other action to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 6.03(d).

Section 5.04 Enrollee Non-Solicitation. During the Restricted Period, Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, and shall not instruct its Brokers to, directly or indirectly, solicit, induce or attempt to persuade any Purchaser Enrollee to enroll in any individual Medicare Advantage plan of Seller or any of its Affiliates in the Applicable Service Area; provided that the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.04 shall not prohibit (a) general advertisements or similar solicitations not specifically targeted to Purchaser Enrollees, including Brokers’ general marketing activities in the ordinary course of business, or (b) any enrollment or other activities with respect to any Purchaser Enrollees who respond to any such general advertisements, general marketing or similar solicitation. From the Closing Date through the later of (A) December 31, 2018 and (B) the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, use any Humana brand or substantially similar brand, name or logo for any Medicare Advantage plan of Seller or any of its Affiliates offered directly to individuals in the Applicable Service Area, with the exception of such use in connection with (1) any Medicare Advantage or other plan offered by

 

-41-


Seller or any of its Affiliates to groups or to any individual who is part of a group, (2) any Special Needs Plan, (3) pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement, (4) any Medicare Supplement plan, standalone prescription drug plan or any other plan that is not a Medicare Advantage plan offered pursuant to a Contract or (5) any Medicare Advantage or other plan offered outside of the Applicable Service Area (and, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall prohibit or restrict in any way the use by Seller or any of its Affiliates of any Aetna brand or substantially similar brand, name or logo, including for any Medicare Advantage plan offered directly to individuals in the Applicable Service Area).

Section 5.05 Financing Covenants. (a) If required to comply with its obligations under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 5.03, and including to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and satisfy regulatory capital requirements applicable to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates related to or arising out of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or the Purchased Assets), (i) Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, take, or to cause to be taken, all such actions as may be necessary to arrange the Debt Financing on substantially the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letter, including (A) to negotiate and enter into the definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter (including, as necessary, the “flex” provisions contained in any related fee letter) by the Closing Date, and (B) to satisfy or obtain the waiver of, on a timely basis all conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing and to comply with all of Purchaser’s obligations pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter and the definitive agreements related thereto; (ii) in the event that all conditions to funding the commitments contained in the Debt Commitment Letter have been satisfied, Purchaser shall cause the Financing Source to fund the Debt Financing required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, pay related fees and expenses and satisfy all regulatory capital requirements applicable to Purchaser related to or arising out of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or the Purchased Assets, in each case on the Closing Date (including by taking enforcement action to cause the Financing Source to provide the Debt Financing); and (iii) Purchaser shall not release or consent to the termination of the commitments and obligations of the lenders under the Debt Commitment Letter nor shall Purchaser terminate the Debt Commitment Letter. Purchaser shall give Seller prompt notice of any material breach by any party to the Debt Commitment Letter or the definitive agreements related thereto of which Purchaser has become aware or any termination of the Debt Commitment Letter or such definitive agreements. In the event that the Debt Financing is required for Purchaser to comply with its obligations under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 5.03, and including to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and satisfy regulatory capital requirements applicable to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates related to or arising out of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or the Purchased Assets), and any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable, Purchaser shall (A) obtain, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, alternative debt financing for any such portion from alternative debt sources (“Alternative Financing”) in an amount that will still enable Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and satisfy regulatory capital requirements applicable to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates related to or arising out of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or the Purchased Assets, and (B) promptly notify Seller of such unavailability and the reason therefor. If obtained, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller true and complete copies of all agreements (including redacted copies of engagement and fee letters, removing only fee amounts, market “flex” provisions and

 

-42-


certain other terms (none of which concern or would adversely affect the amounts, availability, timing or conditionality of the Debt Financing), but including all fee amounts payable in connection with a termination of this Agreement) pursuant to which any such alternative source shall have committed to provide Purchaser with Alternative Financing. Purchaser shall not, without Seller’s prior written consent, permit any amendment or modification to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Debt Commitment Letter or any definitive agreements related thereto unless the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter or definitive agreements related thereto, in each case as so amended, modified or waived, are substantially similar to those in the Debt Commitment Letter or definitive agreement related thereto, prior to giving effect to such amendment, modification or waiver (other than economic terms, which shall be as good as or better for Purchaser than those in the Debt Commitment Letter or definitive agreement relating thereto prior to giving effect to such amendment, modification or waiver); provided that in the case of amendments, modifications or waivers of the Debt Commitment Letter or a definitive agreement relating thereto, the foregoing shall only apply if such amendment, modification or waiver (x) would reasonably be expected to (i) adversely affect the ability or likelihood of Purchaser timely consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or satisfying regulatory capital requirements applicable to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates related to or arising out of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or the Purchased Assets or (ii) make the timely funding of the Debt Financing or the satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing less likely to occur, (y) reduces the amount of the Debt Financing or (z) adversely affects the ability of Purchaser to enforce its rights against other parties to the Debt Commitment Letter or the definitive agreements relating thereto. Purchaser shall provide Seller with prompt written notice of the receipt of any notice or other communication from the Financing Source with respect to the Financing Source’s failure or anticipated failure to fund its commitments under the Debt Commitment Letter or definitive agreement in connection therewith. Upon Seller’s written request, Purchaser shall provide Seller with the status of Purchaser’s efforts to consummate the Debt Financing. Purchaser shall have the right to substitute the net cash proceeds received by Purchaser after the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date from consummated offerings or other incurrences of long-term non-callable debt (including notes) with a maturity date on or after December 31, 2021 by Purchaser for all or any portion of the Debt Financing by reducing commitments under the Debt Commitment Letter; provided that (i) to the extent any such debt has a special or mandatory redemption right, such right is not exercisable prior to the earlier of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement, (ii) such offering or other incurrence of debt does not result in a breach or default under, or violation of, the Debt Commitment Letter, (iii) the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing committed under the Debt Commitment Letter following such reduction, together with other cash and cash equivalents available to Purchaser, is sufficient to pay all amounts required to be paid in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to satisfy regulatory capital requirements applicable to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates related to or arising out of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or the Purchased Assets and (iv) Purchaser promptly notifies Seller of such substitution and reduction.

(b) Seller shall use, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives to use, Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cooperate, on a timely basis, with Purchaser in connection with the Debt Financing (provided that any cooperation shall not unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of Seller or its Subsidiaries), including (i)

Section 5.12 2017 Calendar Year True-Ups. (a) If the Closing occurs after January 1, 2017, and the 2017 Split Year Medicare Advantage Contracts are the Conveyed Medicare Advantage Contracts, the parties shall take the actions provided for by Section 5.12(b) so as to ensure that:

(i) with respect to 2017 Enrollee-Based Payments, each party receives the aggregate amount of 2017 Enrollee-Based Payments (and, for the avoidance of doubt, no greater or lesser amount of 2017 Enrollee-Based Payments) that should have been paid to such party in accordance with CMS requirements and other applicable Law for calendar year 2017 coverage of Enrollees under the 2017 Seller Split Year Medicare Advantage Plans, in the case of Seller, or the Purchaser Medicare Advantage Plans, in the case of Purchaser (the aggregate amount of 2017 Enrollee-Based Payments that should have been paid to each party, such party’s “2017 Enrollee-Based Payment Entitlement”); and

(ii) with respect to any 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment, each party bears a portion of such 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment equal to (A) the aggregate amount of such 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment, multiplied by (B) a fraction, (1) the numerator of which is the sum of the number of Enrollees during each month of calendar year 2017 in which such party offered the Medicare Advantage plan under which such 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment arises, and (2) the denominator of which is the sum of the number of Enrollees during each month of calendar year 2017; provided that, for purposes of this Section 5.12, the number of Enrollees during any month of calendar year 2017 shall be as set forth in the most current membership roster for such month issued by CMS relating to Enrollees, and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be based, in whole or in part, on any other information including any records of Seller, Purchaser or any other Person, including CMS (the portion of any 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment that each party bears hereunder, such party’s “2017 Plan-Based Adjustment Portion”).

(b) If the Closing occurs after January 1, 2017, and the 2017 Split Year Medicare Advantage Contracts are the Conveyed Medicare Advantage Contracts:

(i) As promptly as practicable after Purchaser’s receipt of each CMS Report and in no event more than 30 Business Days thereafter (which period Seller shall agree to reasonably extend upon written request by Purchaser reasonably documenting the reason for such extension and the period of such extension may not exceed an additional 30 calendar days), Purchaser shall deliver to Seller (A) a written statement (the Purchaser True-Up Statement”) setting forth Purchaser’s calculation of (1) each party’s 2017 Enrollee-Based Payment Entitlement and/or each party’s 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment Portion, as applicable, relating to such CMS Report, and (2) the net amount payable by either Purchaser or Seller to the other party as a result of such calculation so as to ensure that each party receives or bears its 2017 Enrollee-Based Payment Entitlement and/or 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment Portion, as applicable, relating to such CMS Report, taking into account, in the case of each party’s 2017 Enrollee-Based Entitlement, the aggregate amount of 2017 Enrollee-Based Payments that such party actually received for calendar year 2017, including any adjustment to or additional payment actually received with respect to any such payment for calendar year 2017 (such net amount, the “True-Up Amount” relating to such CMS Report), and (B) a copy of each applicable CMS Report.

 

-49-


(ii) If Purchaser fails to timely deliver any Purchaser True-Up Statement in accordance with Section 5.12(b)(i), Purchaser shall still be required to deliver to Seller the applicable CMS Report(s) in accordance with Section 5.12(b)(i), and if any CMS Report is not so delivered, Purchaser hereby authorizes Seller to request such report directly from CMS and authorizes CMS to deliver such report directly to Seller. In such event: (A) upon receipt of any CMS Report from Purchaser or CMS, as applicable, Seller shall be entitled to calculate each party’s 2017 Enrollee-Based Payment Entitlement and/or 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment Portion, as applicable, relating to such CMS Report(s); and (B) Seller shall deliver to Purchaser (1) a written statement (the “Seller True-Up Statement”) setting forth Seller’s calculation of (x) each party’s 2017 Enrollee-Based Payment Entitlement and/or each party’s 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment Portion, as applicable, and (y) the True-Up Amount, in each case relating to such CMS Report(s), and (2) a copy of each applicable CMS Report. Purchaser shall be deemed to have agreed with the True-Up Amount and all other items and amounts in each Seller True-Up Statement, and each such item and amount shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and Seller for all purposes of this Agreement.

(iii) If Purchaser timely delivers a Purchaser True-Up Statement and the applicable CMS Report(s) in accordance with Section 5.12(b)(i), and Seller disagrees with Purchaser’s calculation of either party’s 2017 Enrollee-Based Payment Entitlement or 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment Portion, as applicable, relating to such CMS Report(s) as set forth in such Purchaser True-Up Statement, Seller may, within 30 Business Days after receipt of such Purchaser True-Up Statement, deliver a notice (a “Notice of True-Up Disagreement”) to Purchaser disagreeing with either party’s 2017 Enrollee-Based Payment Entitlement and/or 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment Portion, as applicable, as set forth in such Purchaser True-Up Statement, and specifying Seller’s calculation of (A) each party’s 2017 Enrollee-Based Payment Entitlement and/or 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment Portion, as applicable, and (B) the True-Up Amount, in each case relating to such CMS Report(s). If Seller does not timely deliver a Notice of True-Up Disagreement following receipt of a Purchaser True-Up Statement, (1) Seller shall be deemed to have agreed with the True-Up Amount and all other items and amounts contained in such Purchaser True-Up Statement; and (2) each such item and amount shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and Seller for all purposes of this Agreement.

(iv) If Seller timely delivers a Notice of True-Up Disagreement with respect to a Purchaser True-Up Statement, Purchaser and Seller shall, during the 30 Business Days after delivery of such notice, use their respective Commercially Reasonable Efforts to reach agreement on the disputed matters in order to determine (A) each party’s 2017 Enrollee-Based Payment Entitlement and/or 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment Portion, as applicable, relating to the applicable CMS Report(s), each of which amounts shall not be greater than the greatest value for such amount claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such amount claimed by either party, in each case as set forth in the applicable Purchaser True-Up Statement or the applicable Notice of True-Up Disagreement, as applicable, and (B) the True-Up Amount relating to the applicable CMS Report(s). If Purchaser and Seller reach agreement as to the True-Up Amount relating to any CMS Report during such 30 Business Day period, such True-Up Amount and each other item and amount relating to the calculation thereof that is agreed upon by the parties in connection with their agreement as to such True-Up Amount shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and Seller for all purposes of this Agreement.

 

-50-


(v) If Purchaser and Seller are unable to reach agreement as to either party’s 2017 Enrollee-Based Payment Entitlement or 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment Portion, as applicable, relating to a CMS Report during such 30 Business Day period, either party may thereafter cause an independent accounting firm of nationally recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and Seller (the “Accounting Referee”), to promptly review this Agreement and the disputed matters for the purpose of calculating each party’s 2017 Enrollee-Based Payment Entitlement and/or 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment Portion, as applicable, relating to such CMS Report. If the parties submit the dispute to an Accounting Referee, then in making such calculation, the Accounting Referee shall (A) be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the definitions of 2017 Enrollee-Based Payment, 2017 Enrollee-Based Payment Entitlement, 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment, 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment Portion, True-Up Amount and the other terms of this Section 5.12, (B) consider only the disputed matters and (C) not assign a value to any disputed item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party, in each case as set forth in the applicable Purchaser True-Up Statement or the applicable Notice of True-Up Disagreement, as applicable. The Accounting Referee’s determination of any disputed matter shall be based solely on written materials, presentations and arguments submitted and/or made by Purchaser and Seller (i.e., shall not be based on an independent review). The Accounting Referee shall deliver to Purchaser and Seller, as promptly as practicable, a written report setting forth (1) its calculation of the disputed matters and each party’s 2017 Enrollee-Based Payment Entitlement and/or 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment Portion, as applicable, relating to such CMS Report, each of which amounts shall not be greater than the greatest value for such amount claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such amount claimed by either party, in each case as set forth in the applicable Purchaser True-Up Statement or the applicable Notice of True-Up Disagreement, as applicable, and (2) the True-Up Amount relating to such CMS Report. Such Accounting Referee’s report shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and Seller for all purposes of this Agreement. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee for each report shall be allocated between Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the aggregate dollar value of the items set forth in the Notice of True-Up Disagreement not awarded to Purchaser and Seller bears to the amount actually contested by such party. For example, if Seller claims that the appropriate adjustments are $1,000 greater than the amount determined by Purchaser and if the Accounting Referee ultimately resolves such items by awarding to Seller $300 of the $1,000 contested, then the fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Referee will be allocated thirty percent (30%) (i.e., 300 ÷ 1,000) to Purchaser and seventy percent (70%) (i.e., 700 ÷ 1,000) to Seller.

(vi) Within five Business Days after the True-Up Amount relating to any CMS Report has become final and binding upon Purchaser and Seller pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii), Section 5.12(b)(iii), Section 5.12(b)(iv) or Section 5.12(b)(v), as applicable, Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, shall pay to the other party such True-Up Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by the receiving party.

 

-51-


(vii) Each of Seller and Purchaser agrees that it shall, and agrees at its expense to cause its independent accountants to, cooperate and assist in the calculation of each party’s 2017 Enrollee-Based Payment Entitlement and 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment Portion, as applicable, relating to any CMS Report, and in the conduct of the reviews referred to in this Section 5.12(b), including making available, to the extent reasonably requested, books, records, work papers and personnel in accordance with Section 5.10(c).

(viii) For the avoidance of doubt, (A) each party acknowledges and agrees that amounts received under any Conveyed Medicare Advantage Contracts or the 2017 Seller Medicare Advantage Contracts may fall within the scope of this Section 5.12 if and to the extent that such amounts constitute 2017 Enrollee-Based Payments or 2017 Plan-Based Adjustments, and any such amounts shall be allocated between the parties in accordance with this Section 5.12 notwithstanding the fact that such amounts also constitute Purchased Assets or Excluded Assets, and (B) each party acknowledges and agrees (on behalf of itself and each of its Respective Indemnified Persons) that neither party nor any of its Respective Indemnified Persons shall have any right or remedy against the other party or any of its Respective Indemnified Persons for any matter or claim relating to any report or other communication issued by CMS after December 31, 2018, regardless of whether such report or other communication contains a determination by CMS of (1) any adjustment to or additional payment with respect to any 2017 Enrollee-Based Payments or (2) any 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser and Seller agree that, in connection with any calculation used as the basis for any 2017 Enrollee-Based Payment or 2017 Plan-Based Adjustment, Purchaser and Seller shall, and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates to, perform such calculation in good faith and consistent with their respective practices used for such calculations for their other similar businesses.

Section 5.13 Mail and Communications. Each party shall promptly deliver to the other party any mail or other communications relating to the Purchased Assets that is intended for the other party and that is received by such party or any of its Affiliates following the Closing.

Section 5.14 Notices of Certain Events. (a) Each of Purchaser and Seller shall promptly notify the other party of any of the following if such party has knowledge thereof: (i) any written notice or other written communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; (ii) any written or material oral notice or other material communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; and (iii) the commencement of any Action or investigation that, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed pursuant to Section 3.06, in the case of Seller, or Section 4.05, in the case of Purchaser.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a party’s good faith failure to comply with this Section 5.14 shall not provide the other party the right not to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except, in each case, to the extent that any other provision of this Agreement independently provides such right.

(b) Any real property taxes, personal property taxes and similar ad valorem obligations levied with respect to the Purchased Assets for a taxable period which includes (but does not begin on) the Closing Date (collectively, the “Apportioned Obligations”) shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser based on the number of days of such taxable period included in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the number of days of such taxable period in the Post-Closing Tax Period. Seller shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such taxes that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period, and Purchaser shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such taxes that is attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period.

Section 5.20 Purchase Option. (a) In consideration of the transactions contemplated hereby, if after the date hereof Seller or any of its Affiliates are required to, or otherwise determine to, divest individual Medicare Advantage plan Contracts in addition to the Conveyed Medicare Advantage Contracts (the portion of such Contracts covering the applicable geographies to be divested, the “Additional Contracts”) in connection with the Humana Acquisition and prior to the closing of the Humana Acquisition, Purchaser shall have the exclusive irrevocable option (the “Option”) to purchase, free and clear of any Liens except Permitted Liens, the Additional Contracts on terms substantially identical to those set forth in this Agreement at a purchase price calculated on a per-Enrollee basis of the amount per Enrollee set forth on Section 5.20(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules, to be adjusted proportionally based on deviation in premium revenue and medical benefit ratio for such Additional Contracts as compared to the Conveyed Medicare Advantage Contracts and such other metrics as the parties shall mutually agree upon. Seller shall provide prompt notice in writing to Purchaser of its intention to divest such Additional Contracts and Purchaser shall have the right to irrevocably exercise the Option with respect to all (but not less than all) of the Additional Contracts within 15 days of receipt of such notice by providing irrevocable written notice of such election to Seller; provided, however, that if Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing within such 15-day period that it is diligently and in good faith pursuing financing sources to enable it to exercise the Option, then Purchaser shall have up to a total (including the initial 15 days) of 30 days to provide such notice of election to Seller (such 15-day or 30-day period, the “Option Exercise Period”). Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it will exercise the Option and acquire the Additional Contracts if, in Purchaser’s good faith and reasonable judgment, (i) the acquisition of the Additional Contracts pursuant to this Section 5.20, and (ii) the acquisition of the Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement, considered together and as a whole, are commercially reasonable. If Purchaser exercises the Option during the Option Exercise Period (including any extension of the Option Exercise Period pursuant to Section 5.20(b) below), Purchaser and Seller will enter into an amendment to this Agreement or an agreement on substantially similar terms as this Agreement promptly after such exercise providing for Purchaser’s purchase of the Additional Contracts. If Purchaser does not exercise the Option within the Option Exercise Period (including any extension of the Option Exercise Period pursuant to Section 5.20(b) below), Seller shall be free to sell, divest or otherwise transfer the Additional Contracts to one or more Persons without restriction thereafter and this Option shall thereafter terminate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser agrees that all of Purchaser’s rights under this Section 5.20 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the grant of the Option to Purchaser) shall terminate on the earlier to occur of (1) the closing of the Humana Acquisition and (2) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 8.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.20(a), if Seller reasonably and in good faith determines that Purchaser’s purchase of the Additional Contracts

 

-56-


pursuant to the Option is not reasonably likely to be consummated in a timely manner in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement, including Section 5.20, taking into account, among other things, any governmental or other Consent requirements for (or potential governmental challenges to) such purchase and the likelihood that such Consents will be obtained (or such challenges overcome) in a timely manner, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing of such determination, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail Seller’s concerns underlying such determination, and Purchaser shall have 10 days after receipt of such notice to reasonably respond to the issues raised by Seller. If after such 10-day period, Purchaser is unable to reasonably address Seller’s concerns as determined in Seller’s reasonable good faith judgment, then Seller shall not be required to offer the Additional Contracts to Purchaser pursuant to the Option, and Purchaser shall not have the right to purchase the Additional Contracts pursuant to the Option. Alternatively, if during such 10-day period, Purchaser is able to reasonably address Seller’s concerns as determined in Seller’s reasonable good faith judgment, then the Option Exercise Period shall be extended for such additional period of time (up to 10 days) for Purchaser and Seller to resolve any issues raised by Seller under this Section 5.20(b).

Section 5.21 Aetna Consent. Without Aetna’s prior written consent, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, (i) amend, waive, alter or otherwise modify, or grant any consent under, this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (ii) exercise its option not to split, convert or otherwise transfer membership under the Applicable RPPO Contract into one or more LPPO Contracts or sell to Purchaser any LPPO Contract resulting from the split or conversion of, or other transfer of membership under, the Applicable RPPO Contract into one or more LPPO Contracts as set forth in Section 2.13, (iii) exercise the Applicable Service Area Reduction Option, or (iv) exercise any of its rights of termination pursuant to Sections 8.01(a), 8.01(b), 8.01(c), 8.01(f), 8.01(g), 8.01(h) or 8.01(i). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall have the right to exercise its right of termination pursuant to Sections 8.01(d) and 8.01(j) without Aetna’s prior written consent. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall have no obligation to enforce this provision on behalf of Aetna nor shall Purchaser be liable for any breach hereof by Seller.

Section 5.22 2018 Bids. (a) From the date hereof until the Closing Date, subject to applicable Law, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, provide Purchaser with copies of all business and financial books, records and data maintained by or on behalf of Seller and its Affiliates that are required to prepare each of the bids to be submitted to CMS with respect to the entry into any Contract split from and replacing any 2017 Seller Medicare Advantage Contract pursuant to which any Medicare Advantage plans will be offered directly to individuals in the Applicable Service Area during calendar year 2018 (each, a “2018 Bid”, and such books, records and data, collectively, the “2018 Bid Information”); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing:

(i) with respect to any 2018 Bid Information relating to any county in the Applicable Service Area in which Purchaser or any of its Affiliates offers or is planning to offer Medicare Advantage plans directly to individuals, such 2018 Bid Information shall not be provided to Purchaser and shall instead be provided to a third-party consultant designated by Purchaser, subject to the prior written consent of Seller, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (such consultant, the

(c) If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the control of the defense of any Third-Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.04, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) before entering into any settlement of such Third-Party Claim, if the settlement (1) does not release the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such Third-Party Claim or (2) imposes injunctive or other equitable relief on the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates that limits the operation of the business of any of such Persons and (ii) the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice and at its own expense. The Indemnified Party shall not settle any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

-65-


Section or Sections hereof pursuant to which the Indemnified Party claims to be entitled to indemnification hereunder. The failure of the Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

Section 7.06 Calculation of Damages. (a) The amount of any Damages payable under Section 7.02(a) or 7.03(a), as applicable, by the Indemnifying Party shall be decreased by any (i) amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies or from any other Person alleged to be responsible therefor and (ii) Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party (in cash or as a reduction in Taxes otherwise due) arising from the incurrence or payment of such Damages. If the Indemnified Party receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies, or from any other Person alleged to be responsible for any Damages, after the Indemnifying Party makes an indemnification payment in respect of such Damages, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification payment up to the amount received by the Indemnified Party.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under Section 7.02(a) or 7.03(a), as applicable, for any Damages relating to any matter to the extent that the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates has recovered for such Damages under another provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.

(c) Each Indemnified Party shall use its respective Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mitigate in accordance with applicable Law any Damages for which such Indemnified Party may seek indemnification under this Agreement; provided that any Damages incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with efforts to mitigate any Damages pursuant to this Section 7.06 shall constitute Damages incurred by such Indemnified Party for which such Indemnified Party shall be indemnified pursuant to this Article 7.

(d) Each Indemnified Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to collect any amounts available under applicable insurance policies, or from any other Person alleged to be responsible, for or with respect to any Damages payable by the Indemnifying Party under Section 7.02(a) or 7.03(a), as applicable.

Section 7.07 Assignment of Claims. If the Indemnified Party receives any payment from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Damages pursuant to Section 7.02(a) or 7.03(a), as applicable, and the Indemnified Party could have recovered all or a part of such Damages from a third party based on the underlying claim asserted by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party hereby assigns such of its rights to proceed against such third party as are necessary to permit the Indemnifying Party to recover from such third party the amount of such payment; provided that such assignment would not reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the business, affairs, customer, Enrollee, Provider or supplier relationships or prospects of the business of such Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party’s right to seek coverage from any subrogation with respect to insurance carriers shall not be subject to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

(j) by Seller or Purchaser if the Aetna APA shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms.

The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(b), Section 8.01(c), Section 8.01(d), Section 8.01(e), Section 8.01(f), Section 8.01(g), Section 8.01(h), Section 8.01(i) or Section 8.01(j) shall give notice of such termination to the other party.

Section 8.02 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated as permitted by Section 8.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void, and such termination shall be without Liability of either party or their respective Affiliates (or their respective Representatives or equityholders) to the other party, except as provided in Section 8.03(a); provided that, subject to Section 8.03(b), if such termination shall result from the intentional failure of either party to (a) fulfill a condition to the performance of the obligations of the other party or (b) perform any

 

-69-


covenant or agreement of such party contained herein, such intentionally failing party shall be fully liable for any and all Damages or other Liability incurred or suffered by the other party as a result of such failure. The provisions of this Section 8.02, Section 8.03, the last sentence of Section 5.05(b), Section 5.22(b), Article 9 (other than Section 9.12) and, for the avoidance of doubt, each of the Confidentiality Agreements shall survive any termination hereof pursuant to Section 8.01.

Section 8.03 Applicable Termination Fee. (a)(i) If this Agreement is terminated on or prior to December 31, 2016 (A) by Seller pursuant to Section 8.01(b), Section 8.01(d), Section 8.01(g) or Section 8.01(h) (in each case, other than in the event that the circumstances giving rise to such right to termination were proximately caused by Purchaser’s material breach of this Agreement) or (B) by either party under Section 8.01(c)(i) as a result of an Order relating to the Humana Acquisition Litigation (other than in the event that the circumstances giving rise to such right to termination were proximately caused by Purchaser’s material breach of this Agreement) or Section 8.01(j) (but only if termination pursuant to this provision is in connection with termination of the Aetna APA as a result of an Applicable Termination (as defined thereunder)) (each of the terminations described in clauses (A) and (B) above, an “Applicable Termination”), then Seller shall pay or cause to be paid to Purchaser a fee in the amount of (1) the Applicable Portion of Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000), plus (2) the Applicable Portion of Purchaser’s Transaction Costs; (ii) if this Agreement is terminated on or after January 1, 2017 and prior to July 1, 2017 pursuant to an Applicable Termination, then Seller shall pay or cause to be paid to Purchaser a fee in the amount of (1) the Applicable Portion of Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000), plus (2) the Applicable Portion of Purchaser’s Transaction Costs; and (iii) if this Agreement is terminated on or after July 1, 2017 pursuant to an Applicable Termination, then Seller shall pay or cause to be paid to Purchaser a fee in the amount of (1) the Applicable Portion of One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000), plus (2) the Applicable Portion of Purchaser’s Transaction Costs (the amount referred to in the foregoing clause (i), (ii) or (iii), as applicable, the “Applicable Termination Fee”) as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within five Business Days following such termination) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Purchaser.

(b) The parties agree and understand that in no event shall Seller be required to pay or cause to be paid the Applicable Termination Fee on more than one occasion, and in no event shall Purchaser be entitled to receive an amount greater than the Applicable Termination Fee pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) if Purchaser receives the Applicable Termination Fee from Seller pursuant to this Section 8.03, such payment shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser and its Respective Indemnified Persons against Seller and its Respective Indemnified Persons and their respective former, current or future partners, stockholders, managers, members, Affiliates and Representatives relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and none of Seller or its Respective Indemnified Persons shall have any further Liability relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) if Purchaser or any of its Respective Indemnified Persons receives any payments from Seller or any of its Respective Indemnified Persons in respect of any breach of this Agreement and thereafter Purchaser receives the Applicable Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 8.03, the amount of the Applicable Termination Fee shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of such payments made by Seller and its Respective Indemnified Persons in respect of any such breach. The

 

-70-


parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.03 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby, and that, without these agreements, the parties would not enter into this Agreement and that any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 8.03 do not constitute a penalty. Accordingly, if Seller fails to promptly pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.03, Seller shall also pay any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses) incurred by Purchaser in connection with a legal action to enforce this Agreement that results in a judgment for such amount against Seller failing to promptly pay such amount. Any amount not paid when due pursuant to this Section 8.03 shall bear interest from the date such amount is due until the date paid at a rate equal to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition in effect on the date of such payment.

  Re: Molina Healthcare, Inc. Commitment Letter
    $400,000,000 Senior Bridge Facility

Ladies and Gentlemen:

You have advised Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”, the “Commitment Party” or “we” or “us”) that Molina Healthcare, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower” or “you”), seeks financing to consummate the Transactions (such term and each other capitalized term used but not defined herein having the meanings assigned to them in Annex A hereto and the Term Sheet referred to below). This letter, including the Term Sheet, the Transaction Description attached hereto as Annex A and the Conditions Annex attached hereto as Annex C (the “Conditions Annex”), is hereinafter referred to as the “Commitment Letter”.

1. Commitments. Upon the terms set forth in this Commitment Letter and subject solely to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions expressly set forth in the Conditions Annex, Barclays (in such capacity, the “Initial Lender”) is pleased to advise you of its commitment to provide to the Borrower 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Bridge Facility (the “Commitment”).

2. Titles and Roles. Barclays, acting alone or through or with affiliates selected by it, will act as bookrunner, lead arranger and syndication agent (in such capacities, collectively, the “Lead Arranger”) in arranging and syndicating the Bridge Facility. Barclays will act as the sole administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Bridge Administrative Agent”) for the Bridge Facility. No additional agents, co-agents, arrangers or bookrunners will be appointed and no other titles will be awarded and no other compensation will be paid (other than compensation expressly contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the fee letter dated the date hereof between the Commitment Party and you (the “Fee Letter”)) unless you and Barclays shall agree in writing; provided that you shall have the right to appoint, within fifteen (15) business days after the date hereof, additional co-managers for the Bridge Facility (any such co-manager, an “Additional Agent”) for up to 50% aggregate economics; it being understood that (i) no additional bookrunners may be appointed, (ii) the commitments of the Initial Lender in respect of the Bridge Facility will be reduced by the amount of the commitments of such Additional Agents and the economics allocated to the Initial Lender in respect of the Bridge Facility will be reduced ratably by the amount of the economics allocated to such Additional Agents, in each case, upon the execution by such Additional Agents of customary joinder documentation (it being understood that each such Additional Agent (or its affiliate) shall assume commitments in respect of the Bridge Facility on a pro rata basis that is equal to the proportion of the economics allocated to such Additional Agent (or its affiliates)) and (iii) after giving effect to any such appointments, the Initial Lender shall be entitled to at least 50% of the economics in respect of the Bridge Facility. It is understood and agreed that Barclays will have the “left”


and “highest” placement in any and all marketing materials or other documentation used in connection with the Bridge Facility and shall hold the leading role and responsibilities conventionally associated with such placement, including maintaining sole physical books for the Bridge Facility.

3. Conditions to Commitment. The Commitment and undertakings of the Commitment Party hereunder are subject solely to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent set forth in the Conditions Annex.

Notwithstanding anything in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or the Financing Documentation (as defined in the Conditions Annex) or any other letter agreement or other undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, (a) the only representations and warranties the accuracy of which shall be a condition to the availability of the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date, shall be (i) such of the representations made by the Seller with respect to the Acquired Assets or its businesses in the Acquisition Agreement as are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that you or any of your affiliates have the right (taking into account any applicable cure periods) to terminate your or such affiliate’s obligations under the Acquisition Agreement or otherwise decline to close the Acquisition (in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement) as a result of a breach of any such representations and warranties in the Acquisition Agreement or any such representation or warranty not being accurate (the “Specified Acquisition Agreement Representations”) and (ii) the Specified Representations (as defined below) and (b) the terms of the Financing Documentation shall be in a form such that they do not impair the availability of the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date if the conditions set forth in Annex B are satisfied or waived by the Lenders. For purposes hereof, “Specified Representations” means the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in the Bridge Loan Documentation relating to corporate existence and good standing in such Loan Party’s jurisdiction of organization; power and authority, due authorization, execution and delivery and enforceability, in each case, relating to the Loan Parties’ entering into and performance of the Financing Documentation; enforceability of the Financing Documentation against the Loan Parties; no conflicts with or consents under the Loan Parties’ organizational documents relating to entering into and performance of the Financing Documentation; solvency as of the Closing Date (after giving effect to the Transactions, with solvency being determined in a manner consistent with Exhibit D to this Commitment Letter) of the Loan Parties on a consolidated basis; Federal Reserve margin regulations; the Investment Company Act; the PATRIOT Act, and not using proceeds in violation of OFAC or FCPA. This paragraph, and the provisions herein, shall be referred to as the “Limited Conditionality Provision”.

4. Syndication.

(a) The Lead Arranger intends and reserves the right, both prior to and after the Closing Date, to secure commitments for the Bridge Facility from a syndicate of banks, financial institutions and other entities reasonably acceptable to you (such financial institutions and other entities committing to the Bridge Facility, including the Initial Lender, the “Lenders”) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Commitment Letter. Until the earlier of (i) the date that a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) is achieved and (ii) the date that is 60 days following the Closing Date (the “Syndication Date”), you agree to, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause appropriate members of management of the Seller to (to the extent practical and not in contravention of the Acquisition Agreement), assist the Lead Arranger actively in achieving a syndication of the Bridge Facility that is satisfactory to the Lead Arranger and you. To assist the Lead Arranger in its syndication efforts, you agree that you will, and will cause your representatives and advisors to (to the extent practical and not in contravention of the Acquisition Agreement), and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause, appropriate members of management of the Seller and its representatives and advisors to, (i) provide promptly to the Commitment Party and the other Lenders upon request all information reasonably requested, and in the case of the Seller, to the extent previously prepared and

 

2


available, by the Lead Arranger to assist the Lead Arranger to complete the syndication, (ii) make your senior management available to prospective Lenders on reasonable prior notice and at reasonable times and places, (iii) host, with the Lead Arranger, one or more meetings or calls with prospective Lenders at mutually agreed times and locations, (iv) assist, and cause your affiliates and advisors to assist, the Lead Arranger in the preparation of one or more customary confidential information memoranda and other customary marketing materials in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Arranger to be used in connection with the syndication, (v) use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the syndication efforts of the Lead Arranger benefit materially from the existing lending relationships of the Borrower, (vi) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the Borrower’s expense, (A) a current public corporate credit rating from Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC, a subsidiary of The S&P Global Inc. (“S&P”), (B) a current public corporate family rating from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moodys”) and (C) a current public rating with respect to the Bridge Facility and the Notes from each of S&P and Moody’s, in each case, prior to the launch of general syndication of the Bridge Facility, and to participate actively in the process of securing such ratings, including having your senior management and, to the extent reasonable and practical, appropriate members of management of the Seller meet with such rating agencies and (vii) your ensuring that prior to the later of the Closing Date and the Syndication Date there will be no competing issues, offerings, placements, arrangements or syndications of debt or equity securities or commercial bank or other credit facilities by or on behalf of you or your subsidiaries being offered, placed or arranged (other than the Bridge Facility, the Notes, the Equity Issuance and the New Credit Agreement (as defined in Annex A) without the written consent of Barclays, unless such issuance, offering, placement, arrangement or syndication could not reasonably be expected to materially impair the syndication of the Bridge Facility (it being understood that indebtedness incurred in the ordinary course of business of the Borrower and its subsidiaries for capital expenditures and working capital purposes will not materially impair the syndication of the Bridge Facility). For the avoidance of doubt, you will not be required to provide any information to the extent that the provision thereof would violate any attorney-client privilege, law, rule or regulation, or any obligation of confidentiality from a third party binding on you, the Seller (solely with respect to the Acquired Assets) or any of your or its respective affiliates (so long as such confidentiality obligation was not entered into in contemplation of the Transactions); provided that you shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the relevant consents under such obligations of confidentiality to allow for the provision of such information to the extent reasonably requested by the Lead Arranger; provided, further, that you will inform the Lead Arranger, in advance and to the extent legally permitted, that you are withholding any information pursuant to the foregoing. Your obligations under this Commitment Letter to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Seller or members of its management to take (or to refrain from taking) any action shall be subject to any applicable limitation on your rights as set forth in the Acquisition Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Seller nor any of its affiliates shall be required (A) to prepare, create or provide (unless previously prepared and available prior to the date of the Acquisition Agreement) any financial information or financial statements in respect of Seller, any of its affiliates or the Acquired Assets in connection with the foregoing.

(b) The Lead Arranger and/or one or more of its affiliates will exclusively manage all aspects of the syndication of the Bridge Facility (in consultation with you), including decisions as to the selection and number of potential Lenders to be approached, when they will be approached, whose commitments will be accepted (with your consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), any titles offered to the Lenders and the final allocations of the commitments and any related fees among the Lenders, and the Lead Arranger will exclusively perform all functions and exercise all authority as is customarily performed and exercised in such capacities. Notwithstanding the Lead Arranger’s rights to syndicate the Bridge Facility and receive commitments with respect thereto, unless otherwise agreed to by you, (i) the Initial Lender shall not be relieved or released from its obligations hereunder (including its obligation to fund the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date) in connection with any syndication, assignment or participation in the Bridge Facility, including its Commitment, until the initial funding

 

3

(b)    100% of the net cash proceeds from any issuance of public or private equity securities of the Borrower (other than the Equity Issuance and issuances pursuant to employee stock plans), subject to customary exceptions to be mutually agreed upon; and

 

(c)    100% of the net cash proceeds of all non-ordinary course asset sales, insurance and condemnation recoveries and other asset dispositions by the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries, subject to customary reinvestment rights and exceptions to be mutually agreed upon.

Yield Protection and Increased

Costs:

   Usual for facilities and transactions of this type (including mitigation provisions, tax gross up provisions and to include Dodd-Frank and Basel III as changes in law) and which will be, in any event, not less favorable to the Borrower than the corresponding provisions of the Existing Indenture.
Assignments and Participations:   

Subject to the prior approval of the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and compliance with applicable securities laws, the Bridge Lenders will have the right to assign Bridge Loans (other than to any natural person); provided, however, that prior to the Initial Maturity Date and so long as no Demand Failure Event (as defined in the Fee Letter), payment or bankruptcy default or event of default is continuing, the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required with respect to any assignment if, subsequent thereto, the Initial Lenders would hold, in the aggregate, less than 50.1% of the outstanding Bridge Loans. The Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment request if the Borrower has not objected thereto within ten business days after written notice thereof.

 

The Bridge Loan Documentation will provide that, so long as no default or event of default is continuing, Bridge Loans may be purchased by and assigned to the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries through any offer to purchase or take by assignment open to all Bridge Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with customary procedures to be agreed; provided that Bridge Loans owned or held by the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries will be cancelled for all purposes.

MOLINA HEALTHCARE TO ACQUIRE CERTAIN

MEDICARE ADVANTAGE ASSETS FROM AETNA AND HUMANA

    Substantial expansion into fast growing Medicare Advantage market

 

    Transactions expected to be immediately accretive to earnings following close

LONG BEACH, California (August 2, 2016) – Molina Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE: MOH) today announced that it has entered into definitive agreements to acquire certain Medicare Advantage assets from both Aetna Inc. (NYSE:AET) and Humana Inc. (NYSE:HUM). These transactions are related to Aetna’s proposed acquisition of Humana. Molina’s acquisition of such Medicare Advantage assets is subject to CMS approvals and actions, customary closing conditions including state and other regulatory approvals, as well as the resolution, in a manner permitting the acquisition, of the pending litigation brought by the United States Department of Justice challenging Aetna’s proposed acquisition of Humana.

“We view this as an exceptional opportunity to significantly expand our health plan product portfolio in new and existing geographies, while maintaining our commitment to government-sponsored programs,” said J. Mario Molina M.D., president and chief executive officer of Molina Healthcare, Inc. “Medicare Advantage patients require a significant amount of care coordination. Through our experience in coordinating the care for members in our existing Medicare Advantage, Medicare Special Needs, and Medicare-Medicaid Plan offerings, we have developed a unique understanding of the challenges Medicare patients face every day and the tools required to provide them with the highest quality of service. This experience and insight will be invaluable as we integrate and continue to grow this business. We look forward to working closely with Aetna and Humana to ensure a smooth transition.”

Under the terms of the agreements, Molina will acquire, in all-cash transactions, certain assets related to Aetna and Humana’s Medicare Advantage businesses in 21 states which will result in approximately 290,000 Medicare Advantage members transitioning to Molina.

Molina expects to fund the transactions with available cash, but has also received a debt commitment letter from Barclays in support of Molina’s financing obligations under the agreements.

As of June 30, 2016, Molina Healthcare served 44,000 Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plan members and 51,000 Medicare-Medicaid Plan members.

Molina was advised on financial matters by Barclays and on legal matters by Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP.

All forward-looking statements are based on current expectations that are subject to numerous risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially. Such risk factors include, without limitation, risks related to: the pending litigation brought by the Department of Justice challenging Aetna’s acquisition of Humana, the closing of which is a condition precedent to the consummation of the transactions described herein; the satisfaction or waiver of closing conditions for the transactions, including the need to obtain regulatory approvals, satisfy licensing requirements, and receive other third party consents; any conditions imposed on the parties by regulators in connection with consummating the transactions described herein; successfully transitioning membership into Molina’s health plans and the success of the transition and administrative services to be provided by Aetna and Humana to Molina; attrition in membership pending the completion of and following the transition; maintaining provider relations and potential medical cost increases resulting from unfavorable changes in contracting or re-contracting with providers; and the possibility that the transactions will not be completed on a timely basis or at all. Additional information regarding the risk factors to which we are subject is provided in greater detail in our periodic reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. These reports can be accessed under the investor relations tab of our website or on the SEC’s website at sec.gov. Given these risks and uncertainties, we cannot give assurances that our forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, or that any other results or events projected or contemplated by our forward-looking statements will in fact occur, and we caution investors not to place undue reliance on these statements.
