(c)Any such call for Mandatory Additional Capital Contributions or Optional Capital Contributions, as applicable, from the Members shall be evidenced in a Notification in writing, delivered to the Members which shall specify the amount of such Mandatory Additional Capital Contributions or Optional Capital Contributions, as applicable, called from each Member.

on the date that is [***] days from the Notice Date, the Penalty Rate shall increase to [***]%, compounded daily, until paid in full, and (C) if the overdue amount remains unpaid on the date that is [***] days from the Notice Date, the Percentage Interest of such defaulting Member shall be reduced by a penalty amount equal to a [***] Percentage Interest in the Company (the “Penalty Adjustment”) (and the Percentage Interests of the non-defaulting Members shall be increased by the Penalty Adjustment, in each case proportionately based on the non-defaulting Members’ relative Percentage Interests) automatically at the end of such [***] period and (ii) if the defaulting Member is a Founding Member, the voting rights with respect to such Founding Member and its Manager designees set forth in this Agreement shall be suspended until such time as such Founding Member has made the required Capital Contribution plus accrued interest (with no further adjustment in its Percentage Interest in consideration thereof).

In the event the Penalty Rate in effect at any time hereunder exceeds the highest rate allowable under applicable law, the rate shall be adjusted automatically to be equal to the highest rate allowable under applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the failure of any Member to contribute to the Company aggregate amounts in excess of the maximum dollar amount specified for such Member in Schedule I (as adjusted from time to time) constitute a default that triggers the Penalty Adjustment.
(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to calling for any Optional Capital Contributions hereunder, in the event the Board determines, following the satisfaction by the Members of all Mandatory Additional Capital Contributions hereunder, that additional capital is needed to achieve the Milestones set forth in the Business Plan most recently approved by the Board, SS&C Health shall make additional Capital Contributions (in cash or, as determined by the Board hereunder, Contributed Property) up to a maximum of [***] (the “Overage Obligation”), for no additional Percentage Interest hereunder, to the extent so called for by the Board in accordance with this Section 4.3(e). For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Overage Obligation shall be treated as a Capital Contribution for all purposes hereunder other than with respect to the dilution of any other Founding Member’s Percentage Interest, which shall remain unchanged as a result of the contribution of any or all of the Overage Obligation, but the Overage Obligation payment shall otherwise be noted on Schedule I, and (ii) SS&C Health shall have no Overage Obligation with respect to the Company’s capital needs other than as may be expressly required to achieve the Milestones set forth in the Business Plan most recently approved by the Board.

(c)Upon the Transfer of a Membership Interest in the Company after the date of this Agreement, the Capital Account of the transferor Member that is attributable to the transferred interest will be carried over to the transferee Member but, if the Company has an election in effect under Section 754 of the Code, the Capital Account will be adjusted to reflect any adjustment required as a result thereof by the Treasury Regulations promulgated pursuant to Section 704(b) of the Code.
(d)The realization, recognition and classification of any item of income, gain, loss or deduction for Capital Account purposes shall be the same as its realization, recognition and classification for federal income tax purposes; provided, however, that:
(i)Any deductions for depreciation, cost recovery or amortization attributable to a Contributed Property shall be determined as if the adjusted tax basis of such property on the date it was acquired by the Company was equal to the Agreed Value of such property. Upon adjustment pursuant to Section 4.5(e) of the Carrying Value of the Company
19
ACTIVE/107611452.20
property subject to depreciation, cost recovery or amortization, any further deductions for such depreciation, cost recovery or amortization shall be determined as if the adjusted tax basis of such property was equal to its Carrying Value immediately following such adjustment. Any deductions for depreciation, cost recovery or amortization under this Section 4.5(d) shall be computed in accordance with Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g)(3) of the Treasury Regulations.
(ii)Any income, gain or loss attributable to the taxable disposition of any property shall be determined by the Company as if the adjusted tax basis of such property as of such date of disposition was equal in amount to the Carrying Value of such property as of such date.
(iii)All items incurred by the Company that can neither be deducted nor amortized under Section 709 of the Code shall, for purposes of Capital Accounts, be treated as an item of deduction and shall be allocated among the Members pursuant to Article V.
(iv)All items of tax-exempt income and non-deductible expense shall be taken into account as if they were taxable or deductible, as applicable.
(e)(i)Upon the issuance of additional Membership Interests in the Company for cash or Contributed Property, the Capital Accounts of all Members and the Carrying Values of all Company Properties immediately prior to such issuance shall be adjusted (consistent with the provisions hereof and with the Treasury Regulations under Section 704 of the Code) upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to each Company Property, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized upon an actual sale of each such Company Property immediately prior to such issuance and had been allocated to the Members. In determining such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss, the fair market value of Company Property as of any date of determination shall be reasonably determined by the Board.
(ii)Immediately prior to the actual or deemed distribution of any Company Property (other than cash) or the distribution of cash, in each case, in redemption of a Member’s Membership Interest in the Company, the Capital Accounts of all Members and the Carrying Value of all Company Property shall be adjusted (consistent with the provisions hereof and Treasury Regulations under Section 704 of the Code) upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to each Company Property, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized upon an actual sale of each such Company Property immediately prior to such distribution and had been allocated to the Members at such time. In determining such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss, the fair market value of Company Property as of any date of determination shall be reasonably determined by the Board.
20
ACTIVE/107611452.20
(f)In addition to the adjustments required by the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.5, the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be adjusted in accordance with the capital account maintenance rules of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Treasury Regulations.
(g)The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.5 are intended to comply with Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations. If the Board, subject to Section 9.5(b)(xxvi), shall determine that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts are computed in order to comply with Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Treasury Regulations, the Board, subject to Section 9.5(b)(xxvi), may make such modification, provided that such modification is not likely to have a material effect on the amounts distributable to any Member pursuant to Article V or Section 14.4 and the Board shall notify the Members in writing of such modification prior to its effective date, and provided, further, that the Board shall have no liability to any Member for any failure to exercise any such discretion to make any modifications permitted under this Section 4.5(g).
(h)The Capital Accounts shall be maintained for the sole purpose of allocating items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members and shall have no effect on the amount of any distributions to any Members in liquidation or otherwise.
Return of Capital Contributions
. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Act, no Member shall have the right to withdraw, or receive any return of, all or any portion of such Member’s Capital Contribution.
. No interest shall be paid by the Company on Capital Contributions or on balances in Members’ Capital Accounts.
. Loans by a Member to the Company shall not be considered Capital Contributions. If any Member shall advance funds to the Company in excess of the amounts required hereunder to be contributed by such Member to the capital of the Company, the making of such advances shall not result in any increase in the amount of the Capital Account of such Member. The amounts of any such advances shall be a debt of the Company to such Member and shall be payable or collectible only out of the Company assets in accordance with the terms and conditions upon which such advances are made. The repayment of loans from a Member to the Company upon liquidation shall be subject to the order of priority set forth in Section 14.4. The foregoing is qualified in its entirety, and made subject to, the provisions of Section 4.3 above.
Article V
ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Allocations of Income, Gain, Loss, Deduction and Credit from Operations and Interim Capital Transactions
. Except as otherwise provided in this Article V, income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company from operations and Interim Capital Transactions for each taxable year of the Company shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests; provided, however, that any items of loss or deduction directly attributable to payments of Overage Obligations by SS&C Health to the Company shall be allocated solely to SS&C Health; and provided, further, following any adjustment to Percentage Interests under this
21
ACTIVE/107611452.20
Agreement, allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction and/or credit shall be adjusted from time to time thereafter as reasonably determined by the Board in order to cause the Capital Account balances of the Members to be in proportion to their Percentage Interests; provided, however, that any Overage Obligation payments shall not adjust or be included in the calculation of SS&C Health’s Percentage Interest. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, allocations for federal income tax purposes shall be made in the same manner as the foregoing allocations of book items for Capital Account purposes.
Allocations on Dissolution and Winding Up
. Except as otherwise provided in this Article V, after adjusting the Capital Accounts for distributions under Section 5.14 and allocations under Section 5.1 for the year, gain or loss resulting from a sale of the Company’s assets under Section 14.2 or otherwise upon the dissolution and termination of the Company shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.
Book/Tax Disparities; Section 754 Elections; Etc
.
(a)In the case of Contributed Property, items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit, as determined for federal income tax purposes, shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 704(c) of the Code and utilizing the allocation method determined in accordance with Section 12.8(e) to take into account the difference between the Agreed Value of such property and its adjusted tax basis at the time of contribution.
(b)In the case of Adjusted Property, such items shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code to take into account the difference between the Carrying Value of such property and its adjusted tax basis. In the event that the Adjusted Property was originally a Contributed Property, the allocation required by this Section 5.3(b) also shall take into account the requirements of (and the method determined pursuant to) Section 5.3(a).
(c)All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit recognized by the Company for federal income tax purposes and allocated to the Members in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be determined without regard to any election under Section 754 of the Code which may be made by the Company; provided, however, that such allocations, once made, shall be adjusted as necessary or appropriate to take into account those adjustments permitted by Sections 734 and 743 of the Code and to provide only Members recognizing gain on Company distributions covered by Section 734 of the Code with the federal income tax benefits attributable to the increased basis in Company property resulting from any election under Section 754 of the Code.
(d)Whenever the income, gain and loss of the Company allocable hereunder consists of items of different character for tax purposes (e.g., ordinary income, long-term capital gain, interest expense, etc.), the income, gain and loss for tax purposes allocable to each Member shall be deemed to include its proportionate share of each such item based on such Member’s Percentage Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company realizes depreciation recapture income pursuant to Section 1245 or Section 1250 (or other comparable provision) of the Code as the result of the sale or other disposition of any asset, the allocations to each Member hereunder shall be deemed to include the same proportion of such depreciation recapture as the
22
ACTIVE/107611452.20
total amount of deductions for tax depreciation of such asset previously allocated to such Member bears to the total amount of deductions for tax depreciation of such asset previously allocated to all Members. This Section 5.3(d) shall be construed to affect only the character, rather than the amount, of any items of income, gain and loss.
(e)Any increase to a Founding Member’s Capital Contributions on account of the Founding Member providing services to the Company (as opposed to contributing money or Contributed Property to the Company) shall be treated for federal and state income tax purposes as a guaranteed payment (under Section 707(c) of the Code) to the Founding Member providing such services, followed by a contribution of the amount of such guaranteed payment to the capital of the Company as a Capital Contribution and thereafter shall be reflected in the Capital Account of such Founding Member.
Allocation of Nonrecourse Deductions
. Items of loss, deduction and Section 705(a)(2)(B) Expenditures attributable, under Section 1.704-2(c) of the Treasury Regulations, to increases in the Company’s Minimum Gain shall be allocated, as provided in Section 1.704-2(e) of the Treasury Regulations, to the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.
Allocation of Member Nonrecourse Deductions
. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 5.1 and 5.2, items of loss, deduction and Section 705(a)(2)(B) Expenditures attributable, under Section 1.704-2(i) of the Treasury Regulations, to Member Nonrecourse Debt shall (prior to any allocation pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.2) be allocated, as provided in Section 1.704-2(i) of the Treasury Regulations, to the Members in accordance with the ratios in which they bear the economic risk of loss for such debt for purposes of Section 1.752-2 of the Treasury Regulations.
. In the event that there is a net decrease in the Company’s Minimum Gain during a taxable year of the Company, the minimum gain chargeback described in Sections 1.704-2(f) and (g) of the Treasury Regulations shall apply.
Member Minimum Gain Chargeback
. If during a taxable year of the Company there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, any Member with a share of that Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (determined under Section 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Treasury Regulations) as of the beginning of the year must be allocated items of income and gain for the year (and, if necessary, for succeeding years) equal to that Member’s share of such net decrease in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i) of the Treasury Regulations.
. Pursuant to Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Treasury Regulations, income of the Company shall be allocated, after the allocations required by Sections 5.6 and 5.7 but before any other allocation required by this Article V, to the Members with deficit balances in their Adjusted Capital Accounts (as defined in Section 5.9 hereof) in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such deficit balances as quickly as possible. This Section 5.8 is intended to satisfy the provisions of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
23
ACTIVE/107611452.20
Limitations on Loss Allocation
. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no item of loss or deduction of the Company shall be allocated to a Member if such allocation would result in a negative balance in such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account. Such loss or deduction shall be allocated first among the Members with positive balances in their Capital Accounts in proportion to (and to the extent of) such positive balances and thereafter in accordance with their interests in the Company as determined under Section 1.704-1(b)(3) of the Treasury Regulations.
. If any items of income and gain (including gross income) or loss, deduction and Section 705(a)(2)(B) Expenditures are allocated to a Member pursuant to Section 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8 or 5.9, then, prior to any allocation pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.2 and subject to Sections 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8 and 5.9, items of income and gain (including gross income) and items of loss, deduction and Section 705(a)(2)(B) Expenditures for subsequent periods shall be allocated to the Members in a manner designed to result in each Member’s Capital Account having a balance equal to what it would have been had such allocation of items of income and gain (including gross income) or loss, deduction and Section 705(a)(2)(B) Expenditures not occurred under Section 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8 or 5.9. In exercising their discretion under this Section 5.10, the Members shall take into account future allocations under Sections 5.6 and 5.7 that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other allocations previously made under Sections 5.4 and 5.5.
. Pursuant to Section 1.752-3(a)(3) of the Treasury Regulations, the Members’ interests in Company profits for purposes of determining the Members’ proportionate shares of the excess nonrecourse liabilities (as defined in Section 1.752-3(a)(3) of the Treasury Regulations) of the Company shall be determined in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.
. If any assets of the Company are distributed in kind pursuant to Section 14.4, such assets shall be distributed to the Members entitled thereto in the same proportions as if the distribution were in cash. Such assets shall be valued at their then fair market value as reasonably determined by the Board by Majority Vote, subject to Section 9.5(b)(xvi). The amount of Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to any asset to be distributed in kind to the Members shall, to the extent not otherwise recognized by the Company, be taken into account in computing gain or loss of the Company for purposes of allocation of gain or loss under Sections 5.1 and 5.2, and distributions of proceeds to the Members under Sections 5.14 and 14.4. If the assets of the Company are sold in a transaction in which, by reason of the provisions of Section 453 of the Code or any successor thereto, gain is realized but not recognized, such gain shall be taken into account in computing gain or loss of the Company for purposes of allocations and distributions to the Members pursuant to this Article V, notwithstanding that the Members may elect to continue the Company pending collection of deferred purchase money obligations received in connection with such sale.
Allocations and Distributions to Transferred Interests
.
(a)If any interest in the Company is transferred, increased or decreased during the year, all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit recognized by the Company for such year shall be allocated among the Members to take into account their varying interests during the
24
ACTIVE/107611452.20
year in any manner the Board shall approve by Majority Vote, in its sole discretion, as then permitted by the Code.
(b)Distributions under Sections 5.14 and 14.4 shall be made only to Members and assignees who, according to the books and records of the Company, are Members or assignees on the actual date of distribution. Neither the Company, the Board nor any Manager shall incur any liability for making distributions in accordance with this Section 5.13(b).
Distributions of Distributable Funds
.
(a)A distribution of Distributable Funds shall, subject to Section 9.5(b)(xvi), be made upon a vote of the Board. A vote to make a distribution on the basis of Tax Allowance Amounts shall include, as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each calendar quarter or taxable year, as applicable, a determination of the Tax Allowance Amount for every Member in respect of such quarter or taxable year. Upon such determination, the Board shall cause each Member’s Tax Allowance Amount to be distributed to such Member, provided such a distribution is permitted by all lending agreements to which the Company is then a party, and provided, further, that if there are insufficient Distributable Funds to distribute each Member’s full Tax Allowance Amount, distributions hereunder shall be made proportionately based on each Member’s Tax Allowance Amount. All distributions of Tax Allowance Amounts shall be treated as advances against, and therefore shall reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis, subsequent distributions to the applicable Members pursuant to Section 5.14(b) or Section 14.4 hereof.
(b)Except as provided in subsection (a) above or in Section 14.4 hereof relating to distributions upon the dissolution and liquidation of the Company, Distributable Funds shall be distributed to the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. Any such distributions shall be made only to the extent approved, subject to Section 9.5(b)(xvi), by the Board. To the extent that any distribution pursuant to this Section 5.14 consists of a consideration of a type or in a form other than cash, the types and forms of such consideration shall be allocated in an equitable manner among the Members entitled thereto, in the proportions and amounts provided for herein, such that each Member shall, except for immaterial variances, receive the same type or form of consideration. The Company shall not make any distribution to the Members if, immediately after giving effect to the distribution, all liabilities of the Company, other than liabilities to Members with respect to their Percentage Interests and liabilities for which the recourse of creditors is limited to specified property of the Company, exceed the fair value of Company Property, except that the fair value of Company Property that is subject to a liability for which recourse of creditors is limited shall be included in the Company assets only to the extent that the fair value of that Company Property exceeds that liability.
. For purposes of this Article V, distributions and allocations shall be made in the following order: (a) first, in accordance with Section 5.14; (b) second, in accordance with Section 5.7; (c) third, in accordance with Section 5.6; (d) fourth, in accordance with Section 5.8; (e) fifth, in accordance with Section 5.9; (f) sixth, in accordance with Section 5.3; (g) seventh, in accordance with Section 5.5; (h) eighth, in accordance with Section 5.4; (i) ninth, in accordance with Section 5.10; (j) tenth, in accordance with Section 5.1; and (k) eleventh, in accordance with Section 5.2.
25
ACTIVE/107611452.20
.
(a)If any federal, foreign, state or local jurisdiction requires the Company to withhold taxes or other amounts with respect to any Member’s allocable share of taxable income or any items thereof, or with respect to distributions, the Company shall withhold from distributions or other amounts then due to such Member an amount necessary to satisfy the withholding responsibility and shall pay any amounts withheld to the appropriate taxing authorities (a “Withholding Payment”). In such a case, for purposes of this Agreement the Member for whom the Company has paid the withholding tax shall be deemed to have received the withheld distribution or other amount due and to have paid the withholding tax directly to the applicable taxing authority and such Member’s share of cash distributions or other amounts due shall be reduced by a corresponding amount. If it is anticipated that, at the due date of the Company’s withholding obligation, a Member’s share of cash distributions or other amounts due is less than the amount of the withholding obligation, the Member with respect to which the withholding obligation applies shall pay to the Company the amount of such shortfall within thirty (30) days after written notice by the Company. If a Member fails to make the required payment when due hereunder and the Company nevertheless pays the withholding, in addition to the Company’s remedies for breach of this Agreement, the amount paid shall be deemed a recourse loan from the Company to such Member bearing interest at a rate consistent with market rates for similar loans as the Board may reasonably determine, and the Company shall apply all distributions or payments that would otherwise be made to such Member toward payment of the loan and interest, which payments or distributions shall be applied first to interest and then to principal until the loan is repaid in full. In the event that the distributions or proceeds to the Company or any subsidiary of the Company are reduced on account of taxes withheld at the source or any taxes are otherwise required to be paid by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company and such taxes are imposed on or with respect to one or more, but not all of the Members in the Company, the amount of the reduction shall be borne by the relevant Members and treated as if it were paid by the Company as a withholding tax with respect to such Members pursuant to this Section 5.16. Taxes imposed on the Company or a subsidiary of the Company where the rate of tax varies depending on characteristics of the Members shall be treated as taxes imposed on or with respect to the Members for purposes of this Section 5.16. Subject to the two preceding sentences, if the distributions or proceeds to the Company or any subsidiary of the Company are reduced on account of taxes withheld at the source, and such taxes are imposed on the Company, then the amount of the reduction shall be treated as an expense of the Company. Each Member agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Board from and against any and all liability with respect to withholding obligations required on behalf of, or with respect to, such Member. A Member’s obligation to so indemnify shall survive the transfer or assignment of such Member’s Membership Interest in the Company, and the liquidation and dissolution of the Company or the Member’s Membership Interest therein, and the Company may pursue and enforce all rights and remedies it may have against each such Member under this Section 5.16.
(b)Any Imputed Underpayment Amount shall be treated as if it were paid by the Company as a Withholding Payment with respect to the appropriate Member under Section 5.16(a). The Board shall reasonably determine (in good faith consultation with each applicable Member) the portion of an Imputed Underpayment Amount attributable to each Member or former Member. The portion of the Imputed Underpayment Amount that the Board attributes to a Member shall be treated as a Withholding Payment with respect to such Member.
26
ACTIVE/107611452.20
The portion of the Imputed Underpayment Amount that the Board attributes to a former Member of the Company shall be treated as a Withholding Payment with respect to both such former Member and such former Member’s transferee(s) or assignee(s), as applicable, and the Board may in its discretion exercise the Company’s rights pursuant to this Section 5.16 in respect of either or both of the former Member and its transferee or assignee.
Article VI
TRANSFERS OF MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS
.
(a)Except as provided in this Article VI, no Member shall make or permit to occur, with respect to such Member, any Transfer prior to the [***] (the “Lockup Period”).
(b)Following the expiration of the Lockup Period, each Member may make or permit to occur any Transfer to any Person (i) only after complying with the provisions of this Article VI, as applicable, and (ii) that is not a Competitor of the Company or the Founding Members (or other Founding Members, if the Transferring Member is a Founding Member).
(c)Any Founding Member may make or permit to occur any Transfer to any other Person during the Lockup Period only with the prior written consent of the non-Transferring Founding Members, provided that the Transferring Founding Member also complies with the provisions of this Article VI, as applicable.
(d)Any purported Transfer of any Membership Interest in violation of the provisions of this Agreement shall be wholly void and shall not effectuate the Transfer contemplated thereby. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (i) no Member may Transfer any Membership Interest in violation of any provision of this Agreement or in violation of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, and (ii) no Transfer of any Membership Interest may be effected if such Transfer would cause a dissolution of the Company under the Act.
(e)In the event a Member desires to Transfer all or part of such Member’s Membership Interest or any interest therein, such Member will be responsible for compliance with all conditions of Transfer imposed by this Agreement and under applicable law and for any expenses incurred by the Company for legal and/or accounting services in connection with reviewing any proposed Transfer or issuing opinions in connection therewith. Until the Transferee is admitted as a Member pursuant to Section 6.3, the Transferor Member shall continue to be a Member and to be entitled to exercise any rights or powers of a Member with respect to the Membership Interest Transferred.
(f)This Section 6.1 governs only the Transfer of a Member’s economic rights in the Company. With respect to the admission of a Transferee as a Member, the provisions of Section 6.3 shall govern.
(g)If SS&C Health determines to proceed with a transaction that would constitute a Drag-Along Sale or a Change of Control of the Company hereunder, then SS&C Health shall provide the Company and the other Founding Members with written general notice
27
ACTIVE/107611452.20
of its intent to pursue a strategic transaction not less than [***] prior to the date that SS&C Health Transfers its Membership Interests hereunder.
. Except for the obligations set forth in Section 6.3 (which, for clarity, shall apply to each Permitted Transfer (as defined below)), the provisions of this Article VI shall not apply to any Transfer by a Member to a Permitted Transferee of such Member (each such Transfer, a “Permitted Transfer”); provided that, at any time that a Person to whom a Member Transfers its Membership Interests no longer qualifies as a Permitted Transferee, such Person shall Transfer such Membership Interests back to such Member (which Transfer back shall also be deemed a Permitted Transfer hereunder).
Admission of Transferee as Member
. A Transferee of a Membership Interest desiring to be admitted as a Member must execute a counterpart of, or an agreement adopting, this Agreement. Upon admission of the Transferee as a Member, the Transferee shall have, to the extent of the Membership Interest Transferred, the rights and powers and shall be subject to the restrictions and liabilities of a Member under this Agreement, the Certificate of Formation and the Act, in each case subject to Section 15.1 below. The Transferee shall also be liable, to the extent of the Membership Interest Transferred, for the unfulfilled obligations, if any, of the Transferor Member to make Capital Contributions. Whether or not the Transferee of a Membership Interest becomes a Member, the Transferor Member is not released from any liability to the Company under this Agreement, the Certificate of Formation or the Act.
.
(a)At all times while this Agreement remains in effect, if a Member (the “Selling Member”) desires to Transfer to any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee of such Member all or any part of its Membership Interests (the “Offered Interests”), the Selling Member shall give the Company and the Founding Members (or the other Founding Members, if the Selling Member is a Founding Member) (the “Non-Selling Members”) Notification of such Selling Member’s bona fide intention to Transfer the Offered Interests (the “Transfer Notice”), which Transfer Notice shall state (i) the Percentage Interest (including the Membership Interest represented thereby) proposed to be Transferred, (ii) the proposed purchase price (the “Offer Price”) at which the Selling Member proposes to effectuate the Transfer, and (iii) the other terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer. The Transfer Notice shall constitute a firm offer on the part of the Selling Member to sell the Offered Interests to the Non-Selling Members at the Offer Price, and otherwise upon the same offer terms and conditions of the Transfer set forth in the Transfer Notice, or upon such other terms and conditions as may be agreed upon by the Selling Member and the Non-Selling Members, as applicable.
(b)Each Non-Selling Member shall have the right, exercisable within [***] after receipt of the Transfer Notice (the “Offer Period”), to elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of its proportionate share, based on the Non-Selling Members’ relative Percentage Interests, of the Offered Interests at the Offer Price and on the terms and conditions of the Transfer set forth in the Transfer Notice or upon such other terms and conditions as may be agreed upon by the Selling Member and the Non-Selling Members. A Non-Selling Member may exercise its right to purchase the Offered Interests by delivering Notification thereof to the Selling Member and the Company. The failure of any Non-Selling Member to exercise its right to purchase Offered Interests within
28
ACTIVE/107611452.20
the Offer Period shall be deemed to be a waiver by such Non-Selling Member of its rights to acquire the Offered Interests under this Section 6.4. The acceptance by a Non-Selling Member of the offer to purchase the Offered Interests pursuant to the Transfer Notice shall be irrevocable, and, subject to the preceding sentence, the Non-Selling Member shall be bound and obligated to purchase its proportionate share, based on the Non-Selling Members’ relative Percentage Interests, of the Offered Interests, subject to the execution of customary definitive documentation. If any Non-Selling Member declines, or fails, to exercise its right to purchase Offered Interests within the Offer Period, then each Non-Selling Member that accepted the offer to purchase Offered Interests within the Offer Period (each an “Exercising Member”) shall have the right, exercisable within [***] after receipt of notice thereof (the “Secondary Offer Period”), to elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of its proportionate share, based on the Exercising Members’ relative Percentage Interests, of the remaining Offered Interests at the Offer Price and on the same terms and conditions (“Secondary Offer Right”). If any Exercising Member declines, or fails, to exercise its Secondary Offer Right within the Secondary Offer Period, then the Exercising Member that accepted the offer to purchase Offered Interests within the Secondary Offer Period shall have the right, exercisable within [***] after receipt of notice thereof, to elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the remaining Offered Interests at the Offer Price and on the same terms and conditions. For the avoidance of doubt, if there is only one Non-Selling Member that elects to exercise its full right to purchase the Offered Interests hereunder, such Non-Selling Member shall be permitted to purchase all of the Offered Interests on the terms set forth herein.
(c)During the Lockup Period, if the Non-Selling Members expressly decline to, or fail to, exercise their rights to purchase all the Offered Interests hereunder, the Non-Selling Members may, by express written consent, permit the Selling Member to Transfer all, but not less than all, of the Offered Interests to any other Person that is not a Competitor for a purchase price at least equal to the Offer Price and upon terms and conditions equal or more favorable to the Selling Member as those set forth in the Transfer Notice. If the Selling Member does not Transfer the Offered Interests during the period from the date of expiration of the Offer Period as agreed by the Non-Selling Members, as such period may be extended to obtain any required regulatory approvals, the Selling Member shall not be permitted to effectuate any Transfer of the Offered Interests or any other Membership Interests of the Company without again complying with this Section 6.4. For the avoidance of doubt, no Non-Selling Member is obligated to consent to the Transfer of the Offered Interests by the Selling Member to a third Person even if the Non-Selling Member expressly declines to, or fails to, exercise its rights to purchase any or all of the Offered Interests hereunder. If any Non-Selling Member does not grant its consent, the Selling Member may not Transfer such Offered Interests during the Lockup Period.

(e)In order to be able to consummate a Tag-Along Sale, each Tagging Member shall (i) prior to the closing of any such proposed Tag-Along Sale, execute any purchase agreement or other certificate, instrument or other agreement required by the Proposed Purchaser to consummate the proposed Tag-Along Sale; provided that any such purchase agreement or other certificates, instruments and other agreements shall be on terms [***], and the provision of requisite indemnifications to the Proposed Purchaser; and provided, further, that any indemnification provided by the Selling Member and the Tagging Members to the Proposed Purchaser shall be several and not joint and shall be made in proportion to the respective Percentage Interests (including the Membership Interests represented thereby) to be Transferred in connection with such Tag-Along Sale (except in the case of indemnifications arising as a result of a breach of a representation or warranty relating specifically to a particular Member, which shall be borne solely by the applicable Member) and [***], and (ii) at the closing of any such proposed Tag-Along Sale, deliver to the Proposed Purchaser such instruments of transfer as shall be requested by the Proposed Purchaser with respect to the Membership Interests to be Transferred, against receipt of the purchase price therefor.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.2, a Member may disclose Confidential Information to the extent that the such Member is legally compelled (by oral questions, interrogatories, request for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose such Confidential Information; provided, that in connection with any such disclosure, (i) a disclosing Member shall only disclose such Confidential Information as is required to be disclosed in connection with the foregoing, (ii) to the extent legally permitted and reasonably practicable, a disclosing Member shall provide the Company and the other Members with prompt and advance written notice of any such intended disclosure so that the Company or such other Members have a reasonable opportunity to limit such disclosure, or (if applicable, and to the extent reasonably practicable) seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy to prevent such disclosure and (iii) a disclosing Member shall use its or his reasonable efforts to seek confidential treatment (consistent with the terms hereof) by the Person to whom such disclosure is made.
(c)It is agreed between the parties that the Company would be irreparably damaged by reason of any violation of the provisions of this Section 7.2, and that any remedy at law for a breach of such provisions would be inadequate. Therefore, the Company shall be entitled to seek and obtain injunctive or other equitable relief (including, but not limited to, a temporary restraining order, a temporary injunction or a permanent injunction) against any Member, including such Member’s agents, assigns or successors, for a breach or threatened breach of such provisions, without the necessity of proving actual monetary loss or posting a security bond. It is expressly understood among the parties that this injunctive or other equitable relief shall not be the Company’s exclusive remedy for any breach of this Section 7.2 and the Company shall be entitled to seek any other relief or remedy that it may have by contract, statute, law or otherwise for any breach hereof, and it is agreed that the Company shall also be entitled to recover its attorneys’ fees and expenses in any successful action or suit against any Member relating to any such breach.

(b)A withdrawal, voluntary or involuntary, shall not, in and of itself, relieve a former Member of its obligations (i) to make any additional Capital Contributions approved prior to such Member’s voluntary or involuntary withdrawal; or (ii) to fulfill such Member’s contractual obligations to the Company incurred or arising prior to such Member’s voluntary or involuntary withdrawal.

(a)During the term of such Member holding any interest in the Company and for [***] thereafter (the “Residual Period”), each of SS&C Health, Humana and Anthem (each a “Covenant Party” and, together, the “Covenant Parties”) agrees that it shall not hire, and shall cause its Affiliates not to hire, directly or indirectly, any Personnel (as defined below).

To facilitate the terms of this Section 7.4(a), SS&C Health shall (A) [***] and (B) [***].
(b)It is agreed between the Covenant Parties that the Company would be [***]. Therefore, a Covenant Party shall be entitled to seek and obtain injunctive or other equitable relief (including, but not limited to, a temporary restraining order, a temporary injunction or a permanent injunction) against any other Covenant Party, including such Covenant Party’s agents, assigns or successors, for a breach or threatened breach of such provisions, without the necessity of proving
36
ACTIVE/107611452.20
actual monetary loss or posting a security bond. It is expressly understood among the Covenant Parties that this injunctive or other equitable relief shall not be any such Covenant Party’s exclusive remedy for any breach of this Section 7.4 and a Covenant Party shall be entitled to seek any other relief or remedy that it may have by contract, statute, law or otherwise for any breach hereof, and it is agreed that such Covenant Party shall also be entitled to recover its attorneys’ fees and expenses in any successful action or suit against any other Covenant Party relating to any such breach.

No Member shall make any public release of information regarding the existence, or terms and conditions of, this Agreement, or the business conducted or to be conducted by the Company without the prior written consent of all of the Founding Members; provided, however, that each Member may communicate the same to its respective officers, directors, attorneys and other advisors, to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and other Governmental Bodies, stock exchanges as may be appropriate, annual reports issued to shareholders or policyholders, and as otherwise required by law or court order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Member agrees, except where otherwise required by law or court order, to cooperate and coordinate with, and provide prior notice to, the Founding Members with respect to the timing and content of any announcements, press releases or other public statements permitted hereunder.

. Attendance of a Member at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of Notification of the meeting, except where such Member attends for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Notification of a meeting may also be waived in writing. Attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters required to be included in the Notification of the meeting but not so included, if the objection is expressly made at the meeting.
. The presence, either in person or by proxy, of Members holding at least [***]% of the Units, including at least one representative from each of the Founding Members, is required to constitute a quorum at any meeting of the Members; provided, however, that if Humana or Anthem fails to attend two consecutively called meetings of the Members, then a quorum shall be deemed to be present at the next consecutively called meeting of the Members notwithstanding the absence of Humana or Anthem, as applicable.
.
(a)All Members shall be entitled to vote on any matter submitted to a vote of the Members. Members may vote either in person or by proxy at any meeting. Each Member shall be entitled to one vote for each Unit of Voting Interest held by such Member. Fractional Units shall be permitted.
(b)With respect to any matter other than a matter for which the affirmative vote of Members owning a specified percentage of the Units is required by the Act, the Certificate of Formation or any other provision of this Agreement, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least [***]% of the then-outstanding Units at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Members.
(c)No provision of this Agreement requiring that any action be taken only upon approval of Members holding a specified percentage of the Units may be modified, amended or repealed unless such modification, amendment or repeal is approved by the Founding Members holding at least such specified percentage.
. The Board shall have full power and authority concerning the manner of conducting any meeting of the Members, including, without limitation, the determination of Persons entitled to vote, the existence of a quorum, the satisfaction of the requirements of this Article VIII, the conduct of voting, the validity and effectiveness of any proxies, and the determination of any controversies, votes or challenges arising in connection with or during the meeting or voting.

ACTIVE/107611452.20
chairperson of any meeting of the Members; the Board shall designate a Person to take minutes of any meeting of the Members. The chairperson of the meeting shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice, other than announcement of the time and place of the adjourned meeting. Upon the resumption of such adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called. The Members agree that, in the event the Company expands its operations, the method of selecting the chairperson may be revised to reflect the relative Membership Interests of the Members resulting from such expansion.
. Any action that may be taken at a meeting of the Members may be taken without a meeting if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action to be taken, shall be signed and dated by Members representing not less than the minimum number of Units that, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or as otherwise required under the Act, would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Members entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

No prior notice from the signing Members to the Company or other Members shall be required in connection with the use of a written consent pursuant to this Section 8.8. Notification of any action taken by means of a written consent of Members shall, however, be sent within a reasonable time after the date of the consent by the Company to all Members who did not sign the written consent.

A facsimile, telegram, telex, cablegram or similar transmission by the Member or a photographic, photostatic, facsimile or similar reproduction of a writing executed by the Member shall be treated as an execution in writing for purposes of this Section 8.9. Proxies for use at any meeting of Members or in connection with the taking of any action by written consent shall be filed with the Company before or at the time of the meeting or execution of the written consent, as the case may be. All proxies shall be received and taken charge of and all ballots shall be received and canvassed by the Board who shall decide all questions touching upon the qualification of voters, the validity of the proxies, and the acceptance or rejection of votes, unless an inspector or inspectors shall have been appointed by the chairperson of the meeting, in which event such inspector or inspectors shall decide all such questions. No proxy shall be valid after 11 months from the date of its execution unless otherwise provided in the proxy. A proxy shall be revocable unless the proxy form conspicuously states that the proxy is irrevocable and the proxy is coupled with an interest. Should a proxy designate two or more Persons to act as proxies, unless such instrument shall provide to the contrary, a majority of such Persons present at any meeting at which their powers thereunder are to be exercised shall have and may exercise all the powers of voting or giving consents thereby conferred, or if only one be present, then such powers may be exercised by that one; or, if an even number attend and a majority do not agree on any particular issue, the Company shall not be required to recognize such proxy with respect to such issue if such proxy does not specify how the Units that are the subject of such proxy are to be voted with respect to such issue.

If an audit of any of the Company’s tax returns shall occur, the Partnership Representative shall not settle or otherwise compromise assertions of the auditing agent which may be materially and disproportionately adverse to any Member as compared to the position taken on the Company’s tax returns and the impact on the other Members, without the prior written consent of each such affected Member. The Partnership Representative shall keep the Board and each Member reasonably informed of all significant Company tax matters that may come to its attention by giving notice thereof on or before the third Business Day after becoming aware thereof and, within that time, shall forward to each Member copies of all significant written communications it may receive in that capacity. The Partnership Representative may not take any action contemplated by Sections 6221 through 6235 of the Code (including, with the approval of the Board, an election described in Section 6226(a) of the Code) without the consent of all Members but this sentence does not authorize such Member to take any action left to the determination of an individual Member under Sections 6221 through 6235 of the Code. The initial Partnership Representative shall be SS&C Health.

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE
13.1Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses.
(a)The Company shall indemnify any Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Company), by reason of the fact that he, she or it is or was a Manager, Member, officer, employee, representative or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, manager, employee, representative or agent of another corporation,
52
ACTIVE/107611452.20
limited liability company, general partnership, limited partnership, joint venture, trust, business trust or other enterprise or entity, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him, her or it in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he, she or it acted in good faith and in a manner he, she or it reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his, her or its conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that such Person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he, she or it reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his, her or its conduct was unlawful.
(b)The Company shall indemnify any Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he, she or it is or was a Manager, Member, officer, employee, representative or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, manager, employee, representative or agent of another corporation, limited liability company, general partnership, limited partnership, joint venture, trust, business trust or other enterprise or entity, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him, her or it in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he, she or it acted in good faith and in a manner he, she or it reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such Person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that a Delaware state court or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.
(c)To the extent that a Manager, Member, officer, employee, representative or agent of the Company has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 13.1, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he, she or it shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him, her or it in connection therewith.
(d)Any indemnification under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 13.1 (unless ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction) shall be made by the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Manager, Member, officer, employee, representative or agent is proper in the circumstances because he, she or it has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 13.1. Such determination shall be made (i) by the Board by a Majority Vote of Managers who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding (even if such Managers constitute less than a quorum of the Board), (ii) if a quorum of disinterested Managers so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (iii) by the Members.
53
ACTIVE/107611452.20
(e)Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a Manager or Member in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Manager or Member to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he, she or it is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company pursuant to this Section 13.1. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by other officers, employees, representatives and agents shall be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board deem appropriate.
(f)The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 13.1 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of Members or disinterested Managers or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.
(g)For purposes of this Section 13.1, any reference to the “Company” shall include, in addition to the resulting or surviving corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, managers, members, employees, representatives or agents, so that any Person who is or was a director, officer, manager, member, employee, representative or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, manager, employee, representative or agent of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Section 13.1 with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.
(h)The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 13.1 shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to be a Manager, Member, officer, employee, representative or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such Person.
(i)Notwithstanding anything in this Article XIII to the contrary, the Company will not have the obligation of indemnifying any Person with respect to proceedings, claims or actions initiated or brought voluntarily by such Person and not by way of defense.
. The Company shall purchase and maintain insurance or another arrangement on behalf of any Person who is or was a Manager, Member, officer, employee, agent or other Person identified in Section 13.1 against any liability asserted against such Person or incurred by such Person in such a capacity or arising out of the status of such a Person, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against that liability under Section 13.1 or otherwise.
13.3Limit on Liability of Members.
(a)The debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company,
54
ACTIVE/107611452.20
and no Member shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Member.
(b)To the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, except as otherwise provided under the Act, no current or former Member, in its capacity as such, shall be liable for any debts, liabilities, contracts or obligations of any other Member. Except as set forth in this Agreement, no current or former Member shall have any responsibility to contribute to or in respect of the liabilities or obligations of the Company or to return distributions made by the Company, except as required by the Act or other applicable law. The indemnification set forth in this Article XIII shall in no event cause the Members to incur any personal liability beyond their total Capital Contributions, nor shall it result in any liability of the Members to any third party.
Elimination of Fiduciary Duties
. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any duty otherwise existing at law or in equity, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including pursuant to the authority of Sections 18-1101(b)-(e) of the Act, the Members hereby eliminate any and all fiduciary duties of each former, current or future Board member or other manager of the Company, any Member, any of their respective Affiliates or any former, current or future direct or indirect equity holders, controlling Persons, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates, members, financing sources, investors, managers, general or limited partners or assignees of any of the foregoing (each, a “Covered Person”) that are owed to the Company and the Members and hereby agree that (a) no Covered Person shall have any duty (fiduciary, contractual or otherwise, whether at law or in equity) to the Company (or any of its subsidiaries), any Member, any Person who acquires an interest in the Company or to any other Person bound by this Agreement and all such duties (fiduciary, contractual or otherwise, whether at law or in equity) are hereby eliminated, in each case, other than as required by applicable law or the specific covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement or in any other agreement by which such Covered Person is expressly bound, (b) in the event of any conflict of interest between the Company, on the one hand, and any Covered Person, on the other hand, a Covered Person may act in its best interest, (c) no Covered Person shall be obligated to recommend or take any action in its capacity as a Member or otherwise, as the case may be, that prefers the interest of the Company over the interest of such Covered Person or its Affiliates, and (d) the Company, each Member and each other Person who acquires an interest in the Company and each other Person bound by this Agreement irrevocably, unconditionally and absolutely waives and agrees not to assert any claim or cause of action against each Covered Person that may from time to time arise in respect of a breach by any such Covered Person of any duty or obligation disclaimed under this Section 13.4; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not eliminate the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing or any other standard expressly set forth in this Agreement. The elimination of duties (including fiduciary, contractual or otherwise, whether at law or in equity) set forth in this Section 13.4 is approved by the Company, each of the Members and each other Person bound by this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 13.4, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of any Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are intended to replace such other duties and liabilities to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the preceding provisions of this Section 13.4 shall not result in or be deemed to result in a limitation or elimination of any duty (contractual, fiduciary or otherwise, whether at law or in equity) owed by any such Person.

Article XIV
DISSOLUTION AND WINDING UP
. The Company shall be dissolved upon the first of the following events to occur:
(a)The written consent of the Founding Members at any time to dissolve and wind up the affairs of the Company; or
(b)The occurrence of any other event that causes the dissolution of a limited liability company under the Act, except as provided to the contrary in this Agreement.
. If the Company is dissolved pursuant to Section 14.1, the Company’s affairs shall be wound up as soon as reasonably practicable in the manner set forth below.
(a)The winding up of the Company’s affairs shall be supervised by a liquidator (the “Liquidator”). The Liquidator shall be the Board or, if the Founding Members prefer, a liquidator or liquidating committee selected by the Board.
(b)In winding up the affairs of the Company, the Liquidator shall have full right and unlimited discretion, in the name of and for and on behalf of the Company to:
(i)Prosecute and defend civil, criminal or administrative suits;

(iii)Settle and close the Company’s business;

ACTIVE/107611452.20
(viii)Prepare, execute, acknowledge and file articles of dissolution under the Act and any other certificates, tax returns or instruments necessary or advisable under any applicable law to effect the winding up and termination of the Company; and
(ix)Exercise, without further authorization or consent of any of the parties hereto or their legal representatives or successors in interest, all of the powers conferred upon the Board under the terms of this Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator to perform its duties and functions. The Liquidator (if not a Manager) shall not be liable as a Manager to the Members and shall, while acting in such capacity on behalf of the Company, be entitled to the indemnification rights set forth in the Certificate of Formation and in Article XIII.
. The Liquidator appointed as provided herein shall be entitled to receive such reasonable compensation for its services as shall be agreed upon by the Liquidator and Majority Vote of the Board.
14.4Distribution of Company Property and Proceeds of Sale Thereof.
(a)Upon completion of all desired sales of Company Property, and after payment of all selling costs and expenses, the Liquidator shall distribute the proceeds of such sales, and any Company Property that is to be distributed in kind, to the following groups in the following order of priority:
(i)to satisfy Company liabilities to creditors, other than Members and Managers who are creditors, to the extent otherwise permitted by law, whether by payment or establishment of reserves;
(ii)to satisfy Company liabilities to creditors that are Members and Managers, to the extent otherwise permitted by law (other than for past due Company distributions), whether by payment or establishment of reserves;

(iv)to the Members, in accordance with their Percentage Interests.

(b)The claims of each priority group specified above shall be satisfied in full before satisfying any claims of a lower priority group. If the assets available for disposition are insufficient to dispose of all of the claims of a priority group, the available assets shall be
57
ACTIVE/107611452.20
distributed in proportion to the amounts owed to each creditor or the Percentage Interests of each Member in such group.
. Within a reasonable time following the completion of the liquidation, the Liquidator shall supply to each of the Members a statement that shall set forth the assets and the liabilities of the Company as of the date of complete liquidation and each Member’s portion of distributions pursuant to Section 14.4 based on such Member’s respective Percentage Interest.
. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, and notwithstanding any custom or rule of law to the contrary, to the extent that the deficit, if any, in the Capital Account of any Member results from or is attributable to deductions and losses of the Company (including non-cash items such as depreciation), or distributions of money pursuant to this Agreement to all Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, upon dissolution of the Company such deficit shall not be an asset of the Company and such Members shall not be obligated to contribute such amount to the Company to bring the balance of such Member’s Capital Account to zero.

Upon execution of such counterpart or agreement, the acquiring Person shall have, to the extent of the Membership Interest acquired, the rights and powers and shall be subject to the restrictions and liabilities of a Member under this Agreement, the Certificate of Formation and the Act. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, an Additional Member (including any Permitted Transferee or other Transferee of a Founding Member) other than a wholly-owned subsidiary of a Founding Member, shall not be entitled to any of the rights and powers reserved expressly for a Founding Member under any circumstances (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Transfer solely in connection with a Change of Control of the Company otherwise approved in accordance with Section 9.5(b)(v) and the other terms of this Agreement).
Article XVI
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
. Meetings of the Members or of the Board may be held by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment so long as all Persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. Participation in a meeting by means of conference telephone shall constitute presence in person at such meeting, except where a Person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business thereat on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
58
ACTIVE/107611452.20
. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Member, any Manager designated by a Member or any officer of the Company who is also an employee of a Member or any of its Affiliates, in each case in their capacity as such, acquires knowledge of a potential transaction, investment, or other matter that may be a business opportunity (such potential transaction, investment, or other matter that may be a business opportunity, an “Opportunity”) for both such Member or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company or another Member or its Affiliates, on the other hand, no such Member, Affiliate, Manager or officer shall have any duty or obligation to communicate or offer such Opportunity to Company, the other Members or their Affiliates.
. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing contained herein shall, or be construed to, grant, transfer, license or otherwise convey (“Grant”) any rights in or rights to use any Property, as defined below, of any Member or Affiliate thereof, to any other Member or to the Company. Any such Grant shall only arise from a separate agreement signed by the grantor and grantee entities. For purposes of this Section 16.3, the term, “Property” shall include any intellectual property (whether in tangible or intangible form and including, without limitation, all material subject to protection under copyright, trademark, patent or trade secret laws) of any Member existing as of the date of this Agreement or any such intellectual property developed or acquired independently (other than in collaboration with other Members pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) by a Member on or after the date of this Agreement. Upon the dissolution of the Company for any reason, any and all licenses for the use by the Company of intellectual property owned by any Member or an Affiliate of any Member shall terminate.
. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by facsimile, PDF or electronic transmission, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one in the same instrument.
. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto and contains all of the agreements among such parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes any and all other agreements, either oral or written, between such parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
. Wherever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but in case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions or any other provisions hereof, unless such a construction would be unreasonable.
. Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement may be amended only by a written agreement executed by all of the Founding Members; provided that no Founding Member shall unreasonably withhold consent for any amendment to this Agreement to the extent required to implement any action or actions approved by the required vote of the Board or Members or to update any Schedules in accordance with the other terms of this Agreement.
59
ACTIVE/107611452.20
. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement relating to transferability, this Agreement will be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties, and their respective distributees, heirs, successors and assigns.
. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the local, internal laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the principles of conflicts of law (whether of the State of Delaware or otherwise) that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. In particular, this Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of the Act and the Certificate of Formation. In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the mandatory provisions of the Act or any provision of the Certificate of Formation, the Act and the Certificate of Formation, in that order of priority, will control.
. Whenever the Company is to pay any sum to any Member, any amounts that Member owes the Company may be deducted from that sum before payment.
. A waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of its obligations with respect to the Company is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person with respect to the Company. Failure on the part of a Person to complain of any act of any Person or to declare any Person in default with respect to the Company, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that Person of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute-of-limitations period has run.
. In connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, each Member shall execute and deliver any additional documents and instruments and perform any additional acts that may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and perform the provisions of this Agreement and such transactions.
. The Company shall comply with all requirements of law applicable to its operations, including, without limitation, applicable statutes, regulations, rules, policies, orders, and common law.
. The parties hereby agree that any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be brought in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware), so long as one of such courts shall have subject matter jurisdiction over such suit, action or proceeding, and that any cause of action arising out of this Agreement shall be deemed to have arisen from a transaction of business in the State of Delaware. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding that is brought in any such court has been brought in an
60
ACTIVE/107611452.20
inconvenient form. Service of process, summons, notice or other document by registered mail to the address set forth in Section 16.17 shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court.
. Each party hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that any controversy that may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
Mandatory Negotiation Procedure for Dispute Resolution
. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any dispute between the Company and any Founding Member or between or among any Founding Members arising out of or relating to this Agreement (“Dispute”) shall be subject to the procedures specified in this Section 16.16.
(a)Negotiations. The parties shall, as an initial step, attempt to resolve any Dispute promptly by good faith negotiation between the executives of SS&C Health (on behalf of itself and/or the Company), Humana and Anthem, as applicable, each of whom, if possible, shall be at a higher management level than the persons with direct responsibility for administration of this Agreement (the “Negotiators”). Any party may give any other party or parties written notice of any Dispute not resolved in the normal course of business. Within fifteen (15) days after delivery of such notice, the receiving party shall submit to the other party or parties a written response. The notice and response shall include (i) a statement of each party’s position and a summary of arguments supporting that position, and (ii) the name and title of the Negotiators and any other individual who will accompany them. Within thirty (30) days after delivery of the disputing party’s notice, the Negotiators shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place (which place may include video conferences provided all parties can hear and respond to each other), and thereafter as often as they deem reasonably necessary, to attempt to resolve the Dispute. All reasonable requests for information applicable to the Dispute made by any party to any other party will be honored.
(b)Confidentiality. All negotiations pursuant to Section 16.16(a) are confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of the rules of evidence
(c)Failure of Negotiations. If the Dispute is not resolved by the parties within sixty (60) days of the disputing party’s notice, or if the Negotiators fail to meet within thirty (30) days of delivery of the disputing party’s notice, any party may pursue any and all other rights and remedies, under this Agreement or otherwise at law or in equity, at its disposal, which, for the avoidance of all doubt, are hereby preserved in full.
(d)Mandatory Procedure. The procedures specified in this Section 16.16 are intended to be a mandatory first step in seeking to resolve Disputes between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement; provided, however, that any party, without prejudice to the above procedures, may file a complaint in a court of competent jurisdiction for statute of limitations or venue reasons, or seek provisional, interim, equitable or conservatory relief, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or action to specifically enforce obligations under this
61
ACTIVE/107611452.20
Agreement, if in its reasonable judgment such action is necessary to avoid irreparable damage or to preserve the status quo. Despite such action, the parties will continue to participate in good faith in following the Dispute resolution procedures specified in this Section 16.16.
(e)Statutes of Limitations. All applicable statutes of limitation and defenses based upon the passage of time shall be tolled and suspended while the procedures specified in this Section 16.16(a) are pending. The parties shall take such action, if any, reasonably required to effectuate such suspension and tolling.
(f)Continuation of Obligations. The party against whom relief is being sought in connection with any Dispute hereunder (the “Defending Party”) and, if different from the Defending Party, the Company shall continue to perform their respective obligations, if any, to the party seeking such relief (the “Claimant”) pending final resolution of such Dispute provided the Claimant at all times remains in compliance with its own obligations to the Defending Party and, if different from the Defending Party, the Company under any agreement therewith.
. Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (a) when delivered personally by hand, (b) when sent by e-mail (with written confirmation of transmission) or (c) one Business Day following the day sent by an internationally recognized overnight courier service (with written confirmation of receipt), to the following addresses of the respective Parties:
