Exhibit 10.14
AGREEMENT
WHEREAS, the Catholic Healthcare Services of Long Island ("CHS") (formerly
the Catholic Healthcare Network of Long Island, Inc.) entered into a certain
Stock Subscription and Purchase Agreement with Long Island Physician Holdings
Corporation ("LIPHC"), dated October 11, 1995, which agreements set forth
certain understandings relating to their agreements with each other and their
respective relationships and financial obligations to MDNY Healthcare; and
WHEREAS, among the provisions of these agreements were certain
understandings related to risk-sharing that affected CHS and LIPHC, contained in
section 8.5 of the Stock Subscription and Purchase Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the parties had agreed to certain risk-sharing obligations
relating specifically to a hospital risk pool, by which CHS would bear certain
obligations for deficits incurred by said pool and be entitled to receive
certain surpluses generated by such pool; and
WHEREAS, these risk-sharing agreements have not, prior to this date, been
implemented in accordance with the terms of these agreements; and
WHEREAS, in light of the substantial deficits incurred by the hospital
pool, the parties have reached certain agreements on the manner in which those
deficits should be borne by the parties;
BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED,
1. that CHS shall bear responsibility for one-third (1/3) of any deficit
that occurred in the hospital risk pool during 1997 and 1998 relating to
commercial enrollment of MDNY;
2. that CHS will bear responsibility for one-third (1/3) of any deficit
that occurred in the hospital risk pool during 1997 and 1998 relating to the
Medicare enrollment of MDNY, provided, however, that if CHS and MDNY (or their
respective affiliates) enter into an agreement relating to the provision of
Medicare services to MDNY enrollees that commences at the commencement of the
fourth quarter of 1998, CHS will bear responsibility for one-third (1/3) of the
hospital risk pool only during the first three quarters of 1998;
3. that CHS will meet this obligation by agreeing that any surpluses that
exist in future risk-sharing arrangements will be pledged to meet their
obligations for these deficits during these periods, provided further that, in
the event that, by December 31, 2003, such obligations by CHS have not been
repaid, in whole or in part, CHS will pay to MDNY all remaining amounts of such
deficits for which it is responsible to discharge this payment obligation; and
4. that the parties have agreed that the attached exhibit, setting forth
the amount of deficits that have occurred in the risk pools during the relevant
time period represents an accurate calculation of such deficits and shall be
binding on the parties relating to the obligations set forth herein.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement on the day
and date set forth below.
