balance, the Company will provide notice to the Employer so that it
can take corrective action, and the Company may terminate the
Agreement in accordance with section 4 of the Agreement.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(ii)
|
|
After a reasonable period of time as
determined by the Company, the Company shall place stop payment
instructions on Checks issued pursuant to the Agreement that are
not Paid. The Company shall be responsible for complying with

the Claims Account shall be closed as soon as reasonably
practicable after the Company determines that all Health Benefits
required to be Paid from the Claims Account have been Paid, and any
funds remaining in the Claims Account shall be recovered by the
Employer, subject to the Company’s right to offset such funds
against amounts owed to it under the Minimum Premium
Arrangement.
|
The amount of premium to
be paid by the Employer to the Company for insurance of the Health
Benefits payable under the Policies, as
modified by the Agreement,
is changed to be equal to the sum of (a) the MP Premium, and
(b) ***. All of the provisions of each Policy that apply to
“premium” for Health Benefits of the Policy apply to
the MP Premium and the ***.
|
|
(a)
|
|
MP Premium . The MP Premium for the Policies
for the Arrangement Month shall be the amount determined pursuant
to Exhibit D hereto. The MP premium is due on the first
day of the Arrangement Month to which it applies. As provided in
section 1(v) of the Agreement, the MP Premium may include any
adjustments authorized in Exhibit E of the MP Administrative
Services Agreement in respect of previous Arrangement Months
including any additions, terminations or changes in coverage not
known at the beginning of the Arrangement Month to which such MP
Premium applies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
Additional Quarterly
Premium . For
each Arrangement Quarter, the Employer shall pay an Additional
Quarterly Premium to the Company in an amount equal to the ***,
before the *** of the Agreement, for the Arrangement Months in such
Arrangement Quarter less the Health Benefits Paid by the Company
from the Claims Account in such Arrangement Quarter. Such invoice
shall be sent by the Company no later than *** months following the
close of the Policy Year which includes the Arrangement Quarter to
which such invoice relates. An Additional Quarterly Premium shall
not be due with respect to any Arrangement Quarter in a Policy Year
if a written invoice for such Additional Quarterly Premium is not
sent by the Company to the Employer within *** of the close of the
Policy Year; provided that the Company shall not have been
prevented by the Employer from exercising its right to audit the
Employer as provided in section 5(c) of the MP Administrative
Services Agreement. The Additional Quarterly Premium shall be paid
by the Employer within *** calendar days of the date of the
Company’s invoice and *** provided in any Policy shall be

determine whether or upon what terms to offer the pooling option.
Any Pooling Charge paid by the Employer shall not be treated as
Policy Revenue.

|
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
Arrangement Month if the Employer
pays (a) an amount equal to *** of the total MP Premium for
the previous Arrangement Month on or before the *** calendar day of

The
Company may elect to terminate the Agreement upon written notice to
the Employer immediately upon the closing of a sale to a single
buyer (“Buyer”) of more than 50% of voting equity
securities of the Employer or of the ultimate publicly traded
corporation of the Employer or a sale of all or substantially all
of the assets of the Employer if:
|
|
|
(A)
|
|
the
Buyer is (I) CIGNA, AETNA, PacificCare, Anthem, Coventry,
First Health, HealthNet, Humana, Oxford, Wellpoint, or any other
Blue Cross or Blue Shield plan, (II) any affiliate (as defined
in clause E below) of or successor of an entity identified in (I),
or (III) any other entity that has, at the time of the sale, a
competitive position relative to the Company as a health insurer
substantially similar to that of any of the entities named in
clause (I) above as of the date the Agreement is
executed;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(B)
|
|
the
debt rating on Buyer’s public debt, if any, is below
Investment Grade as of the day preceding the closing of the
sale;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(C)
|
|
the
ultimate parent of the Buyer, if any, has not, at the time of the
closing of the sale, executed a guaranty of the Employer’s
obligations under the Agreement substantially in the same form as
section 7 of the Agreement;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(D)
|
|
the
amount deposited in the Security Deposit as of the date of closing
of the sale is less than the amount then required under the

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(E)
|
|
As

entity is an organization or entity which controls, is controlled
by or is under common control with the
|
|
|
|
|
entity to which it is an affiliate.
“Control” for this purpose refers to the ownership of
more than 50% of the voting power of an entity.
|
|
|
ix.
|
|
Except as provided in paragraph
(B) below, the Employer may terminate this Agreement by giving
the Company notice thereof not more than *** business days
following receipt from the Company of notice of an *** of more than
*** percentage points in the percentage of the *** used to
calculate the MP Premium. (For example, if the percentage of the
*** used to calculate the MP Premium equals ***, the Company may
*** such percentage by *** percentage points to *** without
triggering the Employer’s termination right under this clause
ix.)
|
|
|
(A)
|
|
Any
such termination shall be effective on the date set forth in the
Employer’s notice to the Company, but in any event not sooner
than the date the applicable *** would otherwise be
effective.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(B)
|
|
The
Employer shall not have the right to terminate the Agreement
pursuant to this section 4(b)(ix) if the increase in the percentage
of the Quoted Premium used to calculate the MP Premium is pursuant
to section 4(c) or due to the imposition of any premium tax not
included in the Quoted Premium at the time that the imposition was
effected.
|
|
|
(c)
|
|
The
Policies shall terminate upon termination of the Agreement. If one
or more of the Policies may not, by its terms, be terminated as of
the date that the Agreement would otherwise terminate, the
Agreement shall be terminated notwithstanding the inability to
terminate a Policy as of the same date, and the terms of the Policy
shall remain in force, unmodified by the Agreement, until such
Policy can be terminated. However, effective as of the date of the
termination of the Agreement, the monthly premium due under each
such Policy and Non-MP Policy shall automatically be increased
(“Increased Premium”) such that the sum of (i) the
aggregate Increased Premiums due under such Policies and Non-MP
Policies through their termination dates and (ii) the
Accumulated Surplus as of the Initial Termination Review equals ***
of the aggregate monthly premiums that would be
|
|
|
|
|
payable under such policies through
their termination dates in the absence of an increase.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(d)
|
|
In
the event of termination of the Agreement, the Employer shall pay
an Additional Quarterly Premium attributable to the Arrangement
Quarter in which the Agreement terminates but only for the portion
of the Arrangement Quarter during which the Agreement was in
effect. Such Additional Quarterly Premium generally shall be
determined and due in the manner set forth in section 3(b) of the
Agreement; provided however, that the Additional Quarterly Premium
attributable to any partial Arrangement Month shall be calculated
based on the proration formula set forth in section 4(e)
below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(e)
|
|
If
the Agreement is terminated other than at the end of an Arrangement
Month, unless the Quoted Premium is itself prorated under the terms
of the Policy, the Maximum Monthly Employer Benefit Obligation and
the MP Premium for the month in which termination occurs shall be
prorated based upon the ratio of the number of calendar days in the
Arrangement Month before termination to the total number of
calendar days in the Arrangement Month.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(f)
|
|
If
the Agreement is terminated retroactively and any Policy remains in
effect after such retroactive termination date, amounts due and
paid by the parties under the Agreement after the effective date of
termination shall be credited against their respective obligations
under the Policy after such date.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(g)
|
|
If
the Agreement is terminated, the MP Premium and the Maximum Monthly
Employer Benefit Obligation for the last Arrangement Month prior to
the termination date shall be adjusted as authorized in
Exhibit E of the MP Administrative Services Agreement
to include the effect of any additions, terminations or changes in
coverage not reflected at the time of termination in respect of
Arrangement Months prior to termination.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(h)
|
|
In
the event that either party reasonably believes that any state or
other jurisdiction may impose a penalty on it for proceeding with
its performance under the Agreement, such party will promptly
advise the other party of such belief and the basis therefor. In
such event, the parties agree to cooperate in good faith to resolve
such matter to the satisfaction of both parties.
|
|
|
|
|
After a good faith effort by the
parties to eliminate the risk of a material penalty being imposed,
if the matter is not resolved to the satisfaction of both parties,
the party upon which such penalty may be imposed may immediately
discontinue the Agreement’s application in such state or
