ARTICLE 10
POST-CLOSING COVENANTS AND OBLIGATIONS
10.1 PAYMENT OF THE COMPANY'S LIABILITIES. After the Closing, Buyer shall,
or shall cause the Company to, administer and manage the payment or performance
of all Company Payables in a timely manner, consistent with customary and
prudent business practices. Prior to or as of Closing, Seller shall have
deposited in a special account of the Company the amount of Three Million
Dollars ($3,000,000.00) (the "Special Fund") to be applied to payment of claims
for specialist referrals made by PrimeCare of Florida, Inc. dba PrimeCare
Physician Network, Inc. on or before the Closing Date or claims for hospital
services furnished to PrimeCare patients on or before the Closing Date (the
"PrimeCare Pre-Closing IBNR"). However, Seller's creation of the Special Fund is
conditioned upon the Company assigning to Seller all of the Company s right,
title and interest in and to the PrimeCare Pre-Closing IBNR up to Three Million
Dollars ($3,000,000.00) under that certain Health Services Agreement, dated as
of May 31, 1996, made and entered into by and between the Company and PrimeCare
of Florida.
Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company to, apply the Special Funds
only to payment of the PrimeCare Pre-Closing IBNR until the Prime Care Pre-
Closing IBNR has been paid in full. Any of the Special Funds which remain after
the payment of the PrimeCare Pre-Closing IBNR shall be remitted to PrimeCare.
Creation of the Special Fund creates no liability of Seller for any PrimeCare
Pre-Closing IBNR in excess of the Special Funds. Except
-30-
for the Special Fund and those Company Liabilities expressly assumed by Seller
pursuant to the Indemnification Agreement and Section 2.4 above, Buyer, jointly
and severally with the Company, shall be responsible for the payment,
performance and satisfaction of all other Company Liabilities.
10.2 FURTHER ASSIGNMENTS. If at any time after the Closing legal counsel
for Buyer or Seller shall deem it necessary, advisable or appropriate to take
further or additional steps for the purpose of assigning, transferring,
conveying, perfecting and/or confirming or reducing to possession the Shares or
the Assets, the other party shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any such
assignments, conveyances, certificates or other documents or instruments of
transfer consistent with the terms of this Agreement as may reasonably be
requested by legal counsel.
10.3 OBLIGATIONS RELATING TO THE COMPANY'S EMPLOYEES.
10.3.1 TERMINATING EMPLOYEES. The Company shall have terminated all of
the Company Employees as of the Closing Date.
10.3.2 OBLIGATIONS TO EMPLOY THE COMPANY EMPLOYEES. Buyer agrees to,
or to cause an affiliated management company to use reasonable efforts in good
faith to employ and retain, subject to the limitations in Section 10.3.3, no
less than forty (40) of the terminated Company Employees (the "Minimum Hires").
Buyer agrees to use reasonable efforts in good faith to retain the Minimum Hires
for a period of not less than one hundred (100) days after the Closing Date, and
shall not consummate or cause any "plant closing" or "mass layoff" with respect
to such employees or their business enterprise prior to the expiration of such
100-day period. Any "plant closing" or "mass layoff" instituted by Buyer or its
related or affiliated management company after the Closing shall comply in all
respects with the WARN Act. Nothing in this Section 10.3.2 or in any other
provision of this Agreement shall create any rights which inure to the Company
Employees.
10.3.3 CONTINUED BENEFITS FOR THE EMPLOYED COMPANY EMPLOYEES. For a
period of not less than six (6) months after the Closing Date, Buyer shall, or
shall cause an affiliated management company to, continue to make available to
any employed Company Employees those employee benefit plans, arrangements and
programs which are provided to similarly situated employees of Buyer or an
affiliated management company which employs such employees. In determining the
extent to which the employed Company Employees may participate in the employee
benefit plans, arrangements or programs of the new employer, Buyer shall credit
such employees' prior service with the Company and/or any of the Company's
affiliates for such purposes as eligibility to participate in, vesting and
calculation of benefits and, if applicable, shall waive any pre-existing
condition limitations or waiting periods for benefits.
-31-
10.4 CHANGE NAME OF THE COMPANY. Immediately after the Closing, Buyer shall
cause the Company to change its corporate name to one which does not include the
word "PacifiCare" or any other word or phrase which is confusingly similar to
"PacifiCare." Immediately after the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Company to
immediately discontinue any use of the name or xxxx "PacifiCare" or "Secure
Horizons" in connection with any of the Company's operations, communications or
marketing, except as reasonably necessary for the collection or enforcement of
pre-Closing obligations or otherwise to identify itself as the legal successor
of the Company.
10.5 RETENTION OF CERTAIN RECORDS BY THE COMPANY. Buyer shall cause the
Company to retain possession of and to not destroy any books, records or other
written materials or information respecting the conduct of the Company's
business prior to the Closing Date for a period of at least seven (7) years from
the date of creation of the book, record or other written material.
10.6 ESTABLISHING THE FINAL BALANCE SHEET. (a) In accordance with the
process and procedures described in this Section 10.6, Buyer and Seller shall
work with the Company to review, verify and, if necessary, adjust the line items
on the Preliminary Balance Sheet for the purpose of establishing the Final
Balance Sheet. The review period shall begin immediately after the Closing and
shall expire thirty (30) days thereafter. During the 30-day review period, Buyer
and Seller shall take reasonable and appropriate steps to verify the following
line items (with their corresponding schedules) of the Preliminary Balance
Sheet: Premiums Receivable, Restricted Investments, Deposits, Other Accrued
Liabilities, Accounts Payable, Unearned Premiums and L/T Debt, Current Portion.
To accomplish such verification, Buyer shall afford Seller access to the books
and records of the Company and its subsidiaries. In the event of a discrepancy
between the amount of any such line item as reflected on the Preliminary Balance
Sheet and the amount of such item, as verified and mutually agreed to by Buyer
and Seller, the appropriate adjustment in such line item shall be made for the
Final Balance Sheet.
(b) Buyer and Seller also shall review and evaluate the Company's
actual payment experience with respect to the Incurred But Not Paid claims,
exclusive of the PrimeCare IBNR, as reflected on the Preliminary Balance Sheet
(the "Normalized IBNR"). In view of the Company's actual claims payment
experience prior to Closing, Buyer and Seller shall agree to appropriate
adjustments to the Normalized IBNR to be reflected on the Final Balance Sheet.
For the purpose of adjusting the Normalized IBNR, any adjustments shall be
mutually agreed to by Buyer and Seller prior to the Final Adjustment Date. If
Buyer and Seller have not reached mutual agreement as to any such adjustments
prior to the ten (10) business day period preceding such date, then the matter
immediately shall be submitted to the Actuary for its review and determination.
The Actuary's review shall be limited to a determination of the adequacy of the
reserves set aside to pay the then-unpaid Normalized
-32-
IBNR. In its review and determination, the Actuary shall make a final point
estimate without conservatism of the appropriate reserve amount for the then-
unpaid Normalized IBNR. The Actuary's estimation shall be made and delivered to
Buyer and Seller no later than two (2) business days prior to the Final
Adjustment Date. The Actuary's final point estimate, made without conservatism,
shall be final, binding and conclusive upon Buyer and Seller and shall finally
determine the amount of the Normalized IBNR to be reflected on the Final Balance
Sheet. The cost of the Actuary shall be borne equally between Buyer and Seller.
(c) The value of the PPE and the Real Estate as reflected on the
Preliminary Balance Sheet shall not be adjusted and shall remain unchanged for
the purposes of the Final Balance Sheet; provided, however, that Buyer and
Seller acknowledge and agree that, if any parcel of the Real Estate is sold
prior to Closing, the Final Balance Sheet shall be adjusted only to (i) increase
the Cash by the amount of the sale proceeds, and (ii) reduce the value of the
Real Estate by such sale proceeds.
(d) Any capitalized terms used in this Section 10.6 which are not
defined in this Section 10.6 or in Section 1.1 above shall be as described on
the Preliminary Balance Sheet.
10.7 ADJUSTMENTS TO THE COMPANY'S HMO MEMBERS. The number of the Company's
HMO members reflected on the February Enrollment Report will be reviewed and
evaluated during the forty-five (45) days following the Closing to determine the
actual number of HMO members enrolled in the Company's HMO as of February 1,
1997. The number of Adjusted Members will be determined by adjusting the number
of HMO members reflected on the February Enrollment Report to take into account
retroactive additions to the HMO membership and retroactive disenrollments from
the HMO membership. Adjusted Members shall include only those HMO members who,
on February 1, 1997, (i) were properly enrolled as a subscriber or dependent of
a subscriber in one of the Company's health benefit plans, (ii) satisfied all
the eligibility requirements for membership in that health benefit plan, (iii)
paid all applicable premiums and (iv) had not (a) been terminated by the
Company's HMO, or (b) voluntarily terminated membership in the Company's HMO.
The adjustments to the February Enrollment Report will be based upon the best
information available to the Company from internal and governmental sources
during the 45-day review period. Buyer and Seller shall work cooperatively and
diligently, and in good faith, to determine the number of Adjusted Members based
upon this information. At the end of the 45-day review period, Buyer shall cause
the Company to generate an updated February Enrollment Report to reflect the
retroactive additions to, or disenrollments from, the Company's HMO membership
as mutually agreed to by Buyer and Seller and this updated report shall be the
basis for the number of Adjusted Members and shall be final, binding and
conclusive upon the parties.
-33-
10.8 INFORMATION SYSTEMS AGREEMENT. After the Closing, the Company, Buyer
or Buyer's affiliated management company will use and license from Seller the
information systems, software and services described on Exhibit "C" in
accordance with the I S Terms. Buyer shall cause full compliance with the I S
Terms and shall promptly pay to Seller all fees in connection with the services
provided by Seller.
10.9 EXPENSES. Buyer and Seller each shall pay its own expenses (including
fees of any attorneys, accountants, brokers or other professionals engaged by
such party) in connection with the preparation and negotiation of this
Agreement, the Additional Agreements and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby.
10.10 SURVIVAL. The covenants and obligations of this Article 10 shall
