“(b)

(i)
Balance Sheet Purchase Price
Adjustment . No
later than sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, the Heritage
Parties shall prepare and deliver to the Prospect Parties at the
sole expense of the Heritage Parties the audited consolidated
balance sheet of Sierra, Antelope Valley, Pegasus and SMM
(collectively referred to herein as the “AV
Entities”) as of July 31, 2008 (the “
Closing Date Balance Sheet ”), prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles (“ GAAP
”). The Prospect Parties will cooperate with such
audit, to the extent they have or control the financial records of
any of the AV Entities. Within ten (10) business days of
the delivery of the Closing Date Balance Sheet, the Prospect
Parties and the Heritage Parties shall effect a reconciliation of
the current assets (as defined under GAAP) shown on such Closing
Date Balance Sheet ( “Balance Sheet Current Assets
Amount” ), on the one hand, and the current liabilities
(as defined under GAAP, but including (if not otherwise included
under GAAP) accrued payroll and paid time off for employees and
Termination Pay for Contracted Employees pursuant to
Section 4.7 hereof) and long term debt (if any) on such
Closing Date Balance Sheet ( “Balance Sheet
Liabilities” ), on the other hand, after elimination of
all inter-company accounts between and among the AV Entities and
any other entities controlled or affiliated with the Prospect
Parties (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet
Reconciliation” ). If the Balance Sheet Liabilities
are greater than the Balance Sheet Current Assets Amount, then the
Purchase Price shall be reduced by the full amount of the
difference between the Balance Sheet Liabilities and the Balance
Sheet Current Assets Amount ( “Downward Balance Sheet
Adjustment” ). On the other hand, if the Balance
Sheet Current Assets Amount is greater than the Balance Sheet
Liabilities, then the Purchase Price shall be increased by the full
amount of the difference between the Balance Sheet Current Assets
Amount and the Balance Sheet Liabilities ( “Upward Balance
Sheet Adjustment” ). The audit hereunder may
include a review and validation of the IBNR reserve amount on the
Closing Date Balance Sheet, but shall exclude the reconciliation of
such IBNR reserve
3
against the actual IBNR, which shall
be handled in accordance with Section 4.6 hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing if, at
the Closing, the Prospect Parties fail to deliver certificates
evidencing polices of insurance insuring the AV Entities, the
Heritage Parties and their affiliates and the Prospect Parties and
their affiliates from and against the tail liability under any of
the policies of insurance listed on Schedule 2.18 hereof and
written on an occurrence basis (“ Tail Coverage
”), until such tail liability shall have expired, the
Heritage Parties may treat the cost of such Tail Coverage as a
Balance Sheet Liability for all purposes of this
Section 1.6(b)(i).
(ii)
Any adjustments under this
Section 1.6(b) and under Section 4.6 shall be
excluded from the calculation of the Indemnification Floor and the
Indemnification Cap, as such terms are defined in Section 6.2
hereof.”
(iii)
Enrollment Purchase Price
Adjustment . No
later than sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, the Heritage
Parties and the Prospect Parties shall jointly prepare a
reconciliation of the actual Qualified Commercial Enrollee
enrollment and the Qualified Senior Enrollee enrollment of the AV
Entities as of July 31, 2008, based on the enrollment reports
and retroactive additions and deletions for such enrollment
received from the health plan insurers for whom the AV Entities
provide medical services to enrollees (the “ Enrollment
Reconciliation ”). For purposes of such
Enrollment Reconciliation, any Qualified Commercial Enrollees or
Qualified Senior Enrollees who were with the AV Entities as shown
on Schedule 2.28 under the column “May-08,” and who
are, as of July 31, 2008, assigned either to physicians who
contract for managed care enrollees exclusively with High Desert
Medical Group or to California Desert Medical Group, shall be
counted as Qualified Commercial Enrollees and/or Qualified Senior
Enrollees who are with the AV Entities as of July 31,
2008.
(A)
If such Enrollment Reconciliation
shows that there were fewer than 14,865 Qualified Commercial
Enrollees (as defined in Section 2.28 below) assigned to the
AV Entities, the Prospect Parties shall pay the Heritage Parties
$385.48 for each Qualified Commercial Enrollee below 14,122
Qualified Commercial Enrollees. If such Enrollment
Reconciliation shows that there were more than 14,865 Qualified
Commercial Enrollees assigned to the AV Entities, the Heritage
Parties shall pay the Prospect Parties $385.48 for each Qualified
Commercial Enrollee above 15,608 Qualified Commercial
Enrollees.
(B)
If such Enrollment Reconciliation
shows that there were fewer than 1,048 Qualified Senior Enrollees
(as defined in Section 2.28 below) assigned to the AV
Entities, the Prospect Parties shall pay the Heritage Parties
$1,927.40 for each Qualified Senior Enrollee below 996 Senior
Enrollees. If such Enrollment Reconciliation shows that there
were more than 1,048 Qualified Senior Enrollees assigned to the AV
Entities,
4
the Heritage Parties shall pay the
Prospect Parties $1,927.40 for each Qualified Senior Enrollee above
1,100 Qualified Senior Enrollees.
(C)
The payments due under Sections
1.6(b)(ii)(A) and (B) shall be netted, if applicable, and
any net amount due shall be paid as provided in
Section 1.6(c) below.
(iv)
Section 1.6(c) is hereby
amended and restated as follows:
“(c)
Payment of Adjustment
Amounts .
(i)
Not more than two (2) business
days following completion of each of the Closing Date Balance Sheet
Reconciliation and the Enrollment Reconciliation, the Prospect
Parties and the Heritage Parties shall give the Escrow Agent notice
of the amount of the payment (if any) due from the Heritage Parties
to the Prospect Parties or from the Prospect Parties to the
Heritage Parties.
(ii)
If the Closing Date Balance Sheet
Reconciliation results in a Downward Balance Sheet Adjustment, the
Escrow Agent shall promptly pay such Downward Balance Sheet
Adjustment to the Heritage Parties as soon as practicable following
receipt of notice of the results of the Closing Date Balance Sheet
Reconciliation and without regard to whether the Enrollment
Reconciliation has been determined. If the Closing Date
Balance Sheet Reconciliation results in an Upward Balance Sheet
Adjustment, the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount
until resolution of the Enrollment Reconciliation. Upon
resolution of the Enrollment Reconciliation, the Escrow Agent shall
pay the net amount due the Heritage Parties as soon as practicable
following receipt of notice of the results of the Enrollment
Reconciliation and shall pay any balance remaining in the Escrow
after payment of all amounts due the Heritage Parties to the
Prospect Parties.
(iii)
Notwithstanding anything set forth
herein to the contrary, the payments due following the Closing Date
Balance Sheet Reconciliation and the Enrollment Reconciliation
shall not be limited to the Balance Sheet Adjustment Amount held by
the Escrow Agent. If the aggregate net payment due either the
Heritage Parties or the Prospect Parties exceeds the Balance Sheet
Adjustment Amount held by the Escrow Agent, the parties owing such
excess amount shall pay the other parties any excess amount not
more than ten (10) business days after completion of the last
to occur of the Closing Date Balance Sheet Reconciliation and the
Enrollment Reconciliation.”
(v)
A new Section 1.6(d) is
hereby added to the Agreement as follows:
“(d)

Parties are unable to agree on either the final Closing Date
Balance Sheet Reconciliation or the Enrollment Reconciliation on or
before October 13, 2008, then (A) they shall determine
the aggregate amount of the Balance Sheet Adjustment Amount payable
to either or both of the Heritage Parties and/or the Prospect
Parties that is not in dispute and shall issue
5
written instructions to the Escrow
Agent to pay such undisputed amount to the Heritage Parties and/or
the Prospect Parties, as applicable, on or before October 15,
2008, and (B) by written notice either Party may submit any
dispute related to the disputed portion of the Balance Sheet
Adjustment Amount for determination by arbitration in Los Angeles,
California, including the determination of the scope or

arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, and shall be
administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration
Rules and Procedures, as those Rules and Procedures are
modified by the agreement of the parties in this
Section 1.6(d) (as specifically permitted by JAMS
Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures,
Rule 2). The Heritage Parties and the Prospect Parties
shall each pay one-half JAMS fees. Judgment on the Award
issued by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having

arbitrator, an arbitrator with experience in accounting matters
will be selected pursuant to JAMS Rule 15 (the “

(5) business days of the selection of the Designated
Arbitrator the Designated Arbitrator shall have a scheduling
conference, at which time the Designated Arbitrator shall set out a
schedule for the conduct of the arbitration, with the hearing to be
held within thirty (30) days of the scheduling conference.
The exchange of information required by Rule 17(a) and
pre-hearing submissions required by Rule 20(a) shall be
completed no less than ten (10) days before the hearing.
Written statements of position may be submitted pursuant to
Rule 20(b). The Designated Arbitrator shall have ten
(10) calendar days from the date of the close of the hearing
to issue a ruling, in which the Designated Arbitrator shall select
either the position of the Heritage Parties or the position of the
Prospect Parties as the final determination of each disputed
matter. The Designated Arbitrator shall have no power to
alter or compromise the determinations of the Heritage Parties and
the Prospect Parties, but must select one or the other as the
prevailing position for each disputed matter. No discovery
whatsoever shall be permitted in connection with the arbitration,
including document discovery, deposition discovery or
interrogatories.”
