(5) business days after receiving the New Agreement, and in 

  
 9 

 
such event Purchaser shall receive a full refund of the Earnest Money. If Purchaser fails to terminate this Agreement as set forth in the preceding sentence, it shall be deemed to have approved
the New Agreement that Seller will enter into prior to expiration of the Inspection Period in the form provided. Seller may not enter into New Agreement after expiration of the Inspection Period unless Purchaser has approved the same in writing.

Agreement, the Earnest Money shall be retained by Seller as liquidated damages the parties hereby acknowledging that Seller’s actual damages in such circumstances would be difficult, if not impossible, to determine. Seller expressly
acknowledges and agrees that retention of the Earnest Money as provided for herein shall be Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of Purchaser’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder. If this transaction fails to close for
any reason other than Purchaser’s wrongful failure to perform his obligations hereunder, including without limitation the failure of any condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligations herein, the Earnest Money shall promptly be refunded to

Commitment Letter
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
You have advised Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”, together with each Lender (as defined below) that becomes a party to this Commitment Letter as an additional “Commitment Party” pursuant to Section 3 hereof, collectively, the “Commitment Parties,” “we” or “us”), that CVS Health Corporation (the “Company” or “you”), intends to acquire (the “Acquisition”), through its wholly owned subsidiary, all of the equity interests of Omnicare, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Target”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of May 20, 2015, by and among CVS Pharmacy, Inc., a Rhode Island corporation, Tree Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and the Target (the “Merger Agreement”) and to consummate certain transactions described therein and in this Commitment Letter, in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Commitment Letter and Exhibits A, B and C (collectively, the “Commitment Letter”).
You have also advised us that the total cost of the Acquisition (and related fees, commissions and expenses (collectively, “Transactions Costs”) and the refinancing of certain existing debt of the Target and its subsidiaries) will be provided by a combination of (a) the issuance by you or one of your wholly-owned subsidiaries of a combination of equity securities, equity-linked securities, unsecured or secured debt securities (the “Securities”) and/or unsecured or secured term loans (the foregoing, the “Permanent Financing”) and/or (b) to the extent that the Permanent Financing is not issued or borrowed on or prior to the closing of the Acquisition, $13.0 billion of borrowings under a senior unsecured 364-day term loan facility (the “Bridge Facility”) having the terms set forth in Exhibit A.  The Acquisition, the Bridge Facility and the transactions contemplated by or related to the foregoing are collectively referred to as the “Transactions”.  
		
	1. 
	Commitments and Agency Roles

You hereby appoint Barclays to act, and Barclays hereby agrees to act, as sole and exclusive administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner (in such capacities, the “Arranger”) for the Bridge Facility.  You agree that no other titles will be awarded and no 

May 20, 2015
CVS Health Corporation

compensation will be paid (other than as expressly contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter (as defined below)) in connection with the Bridge Facility unless you and we shall so agree. Each of the Arranger and the Administrative Agent will have the rights and authority customarily given to financial institutions in such roles.  We are pleased to advise you of our commitment to provide to the Company 100% of the Bridge Facility on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2 below and Exhibit B; provided that any event occurring after the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date (as defined in Exhibit A) that would result in a mandatory prepayment or commitment reduction with respect to the Bridge Facility as set forth in Exhibit A under the Section titled “Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions” shall reduce on a pro rata basis each Commitment Party’s aggregate commitment with respect to the Bridge Facility under this Commitment Letter on a dollar-for-dollar basis.  It is further agreed that Barclays will have “lead left” placement in all documentation used in connection with the Bridge Facility.  
Our fees for services related to the Bridge Facility are set forth in a separate fee letter (the “Fee Letter”) between you and us entered into on the date hereof.  As consideration for the execution and delivery of this Commitment Letter by us, you agree to pay the fees and expenses set forth in Exhibits A, B and C and in the Fee Letter as and when payable in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof.  
		
	2. 
	Conditions Precedent

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Loan Documents (as defined below) or any other letter agreement between you and us concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, our commitments hereunder and our agreements to perform the services described herein are subject solely to the conditions set forth in Exhibit B.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Loan Documents (as defined below) or any other letter agreement between you and us concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, (i) the only representations the accuracy of which will be a condition to the availability of the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date will be (a) the representations made by or with respect to the Target in the Merger Agreement as are material to the interests of the Lenders (but only to the extent that the breach of such representations would permit you or your applicable subsidiary to terminate your obligations under the Merger Agreement or to decline to close the Acquisition as a result of the breach of such representations in the Merger Agreement) (the “Target Representations”) and (b) the Specified Representations (as defined below) and (ii) the terms of the Loan Documents shall be in a form such that they do not impair the availability of the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date if the conditions set forth in this Section 2 and Exhibit B are satisfied.  For purposes hereof, “Specified Representations” means the representations and warranties referred to in Exhibit A relating to existence and requisite power; authority; due authorization, execution and delivery and enforceability of the Loan Documents; no conflicts of the Loan Documents with organizational documents; Investment Company Act; Federal Reserve margin regulations; solvency; of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (such representation to be substantially identical to the certification set forth in Annex I to Exhibit B hereto); U.S.A. Patriot Act; and OFAC; and FCPA. There shall be no conditions to closing and funding the Bridge Facility not expressly set forth in this Section 2 or in Exhibit B. 
Each of the parties hereto agrees that each of this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter is a binding and enforceable agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein, including an agreement to negotiate in good faith the Loan Documents by the parties hereto in a manner consistent with this Commitment Letter, and to the extent applicable, the Fee Letter, it being acknowledged and agreed that the commitment provided hereunder is subject to conditions precedent as provided in this Section 2 and Exhibit B.

	3. 
	Syndication

The Arranger intends and reserves the right to syndicate the Bridge Facility to banks and other financial institutions (collectively, including Barclays, the “Lenders”), which syndication may occur in one or more stages.  The Arranger will lead the syndication in consultation with you, including determining the timing of all offers to prospective Lenders, the selection of Lenders, any title of agent or similar designations or roles awarded to any Lender and the acceptance of commitments, the amounts offered and the compensation provided to each Lender from the amounts to be paid to the Arranger pursuant to the terms of this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter, and will, in consultation with you, determine the final commitment allocations.  Barclays’ commitments hereunder with respect to the Bridge Facility shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis as and when commitments for the Bridge Facility are received from Lenders selected in accordance with this Section 3 to the extent that each such Lender becomes (i) party to this Commitment Letter as an additional “Commitment Party” pursuant to a joinder agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C (a “Joinder Agreement”) or (ii) party to the applicable Loan Documents as a “Lender” thereunder.  The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Arranger’s syndication efforts benefit from the existing lending and investment banking relationships of the Company, and to the extent necessary and practical, the Target, and their respective subsidiaries.  To facilitate an orderly and successful syndication of the Bridge Facility, you agree that, until the earliest of (a) the termination by the Arranger of syndication of the Bridge Facility, (b) 90 days following the Closing Date and (c) the “successful syndication” of the Bridge Facility (as defined in the Fee Letter), you will not syndicate or issue, attempt to syndicate or issue, announce or authorize the announcement of the syndication or issuance of, or engage in material discussions concerning the syndication or issuance of, any debt facility or any debt security of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, including any renewal or refinancing of any existing debt facility or debt security, in each case without the prior written consent of the Arranger (other than (i) the Bridge Facility, (ii) the Permanent Financing, (iii) any refinancing or replacement of the Company’s existing 1.20% Senior Notes due 2016, existing 6.125% Senior Notes due 2016 and existing 5.75% Senior Notes due 2017 (to the extent the aggregate principal amount thereof is not increased and to the extent such replacement or refinancing is coordinated with the syndication of the Bridge Facility in a manner reasonably satisfactory with the Arranger) (the “Existing Notes Refinancings”), (iv) borrowings under the Company’s existing $1.25 billion, five-year unsecured back-up credit facility expiring on February 17, 2017, $1.0 billion, five-year unsecured back-up credit facility expiring on May 23, 2018 and $1.25 billion, five-year unsecured back-up credit facility expiring on July 24, 2019 (as may be amended, extended, refinanced or replaced up to a principal amount not exceeding the respective commitments thereunder as in effect on the date of this Commitment Letter to the extent such amendment, extension, refinancing or replacement is coordinated with the syndication of the Bridge Facility in a manner reasonably satisfactory with the Arranger) (collectively, the “Existing Revolving Facilities”), (v) any debt incurred in connection with sale-leasebacks by the Company and its subsidiaries, (vi) commercial paper issued by the Company in the ordinary course of business, and (vii) ordinary course lease, purchase money debt and equipment financings).
Until the earlier of (x) the date that a “successful syndication” of the Bridge Facility  (as defined in the Fee Letter) is achieved and (y) the date that is 90 days after the Closing Date, the Company agrees, subject, with respect to the Target, in all instances to, and not in contravention of, the terms of the Merger Agreement, to, and, to the extent necessary and practical, agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Target to, cooperate with, and provide information reasonably required by, the Arranger in connection with all syndication efforts, including: (i) preparing, as soon as practicable after the date of this Commitment Letter, a information memorandum and other presentation materials (collectively, the “Facility Marketing Materials”) in form and substance customary for transactions of this type regarding the business, operations, financial projections and prospects of the Company and Target (after giving effect to the Transactions) (including the financial information described in Exhibit B) including without limitation the delivery of all

May 20, 2015
CVS Health Corporation

information relating to the Transactions prepared by or on behalf of the Company that the Arranger deems reasonably necessary to complete the syndication of the Bridge Facility; (ii) arranging for direct communications with prospective Lenders in connection with the syndication of the Bridge Facility (including without limitation direct contact with appropriate senior management, representatives and advisors of the Company (and to the extent necessary and practical, using commercially reasonable efforts to cause direct contact with appropriate senior management, representatives and advisors of the Target) and participation of such persons in such meetings); and (iii) hosting (including any preparations with respect thereto) with the Arranger at places and times reasonably requested by the Arranger one or more meetings with prospective Lenders.  In addition, the Company shall have afforded the Arranger a period of at least 30 consecutive days following the delivery by the Company of the information that is customarily delivered by borrowers for the preparation of marketing materials for similar financings to syndicate the Bridge Facility prior to the Closing Date.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or any other letter agreement or other undertaking concerning the Bridge Facility contemplated hereby, but without limiting your obligation to assist with syndication efforts as set forth herein, it is understood that in no event shall the successful completion of syndication of the Bridge Facility, the passage of the time period specified in this paragraph or the receipt of any ratings constitute a condition to availability or funding of the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date.   You agree that the Arranger has the right, with your prior written approval, to place advertisements in financial and other newspapers at its own expense describing its services to you.
You will be solely responsible for the contents of the Facility Marketing Materials and all other information, documentation or other materials delivered to us in connection therewith and you acknowledge that we will be using and relying upon such information without independent verification thereof.  
You understand that certain prospective Lenders (such Lenders, “Public Lenders”) may have personnel that do not wish to receive MNPI (as defined below).  At the Arranger’s request, you agree to assist in the preparation of an additional version of the Facility Marketing Materials that does not contain material non-public information concerning you, the Target or your or its respective subsidiaries or affiliates or your or their respective securities (collectively, “MNPI”) which is suitable to make available to Public Lenders.  You acknowledge and agree that the following documents may be distributed to Public Lenders: (a) drafts and final versions of the definitive loan documents relating to the Bridge Facility, including without limitation a credit agreement and other related definitive documents consistent with the Company’s Existing Credit Agreement (as defined in Exhibit A) modified to reflect the terms set forth in this Commitment Letter (collectively, the “Loan Documents”); (b) administrative materials prepared by the Arranger for prospective Lenders (including without limitation a lender meeting invitation, allocations and funding and closing memoranda); and (c) term sheets and notification of changes in the terms and conditions of the Bridge Facility.  Before distribution of any Facility Marketing Materials in connection with the syndication of the Bridge Facility (i) to prospective Lenders that are not Public Lenders, you will provide us with a customary letter authorizing the dissemination of such materials and (ii) to prospective Public Lenders, you will provide us with a customary letter authorizing the dissemination of information that does not contain MNPI (the “Public Information Materials”) to Public Lenders and confirming the absence of MNPI therein.  The Facility Marketing Materials provided to Lenders and prospective Lenders will be accompanied by a disclaimer exculpating us with respect to any use thereof and of any related materials by the recipients thereof.  In addition, at the Arranger’s request, you will identify Public Information Materials by marking the same as “PUBLIC” and you agree that unless specifically labeled “PRIVATE — CONTAINS NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION,” no information, documentation or other data disseminated to prospective Lenders in connection with the syndication of the Bridge Facility, whether through an Internet site (including without limitation an IntraLinks or SyndTrak workspace), electronically, in presentations, at meetings or otherwise will contain MNPI.

	Information

You represent, warrant and covenant (with respect to information relating to the Target prior to the Closing Date, to the best of your knowledge) that (i) all written information (other than projections and information of a general economic industry nature) that has been or will be made available to the Arranger, each Commitment Party or the Lenders by or on behalf of the Company or the Target in connection with the Transactions is and will be, when taken as a whole, true and correct in all material respects and does not and will not, when taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made (after giving effect to all supplements and updates with respect thereto) and (ii) the projections and other forward-looking information that have been or will be made available to the Arranger, each Commitment Party or the Lenders by or on behalf of the Company or the Target have been and will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that are believed by the preparer thereof to be reasonable when made (it being understood and agreed that the projections are as to future events and are not to be viewed as facts or a guarantee of financial performance or achievement, that the projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond your control, and that actual results may differ from the projections and such differences may be material).  You agree that if at any time prior to the later of (x) the Closing Date and (y) the earlier of (i) 90 days following the Closing Date and (ii) the “successful syndication” of the Bridge Facility (as defined in the Fee Letter) any of the representations in the preceding sentence would be incorrect if made at such time, then you will promptly supplement, or cause to be supplemented, the information and projections so that such representations (prior to the Closing Date, to the best of your knowledge with respect to the Target) will be correct in all material respects at such time in light of the circumstances in which such statements are made.  You understand that in providing our services pursuant to this Commitment Letter we may use and rely on the information and projections without independent verification thereof.

	Administrative Agent:
	Barclays will act as sole and exclusive administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”, together with any additional agents appointed in respect of the Bridge Facility in consultation with the Company pursuant to the terms hereof, the “Agents”) for the Lenders and will perform the duties customarily associated with such role.

		
	Lenders:
	Barclays and/or other banks, financial institutions and institutional lenders selected by the Arranger in consultation with the Company (each, a “Lender” and, collectively, the “Lenders”).

		
	Purpose/Use of Proceeds:

	Availability:
	A single drawing may be made under the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date.

		
	Closing Date:
	The date on or before the Commitment Termination Date on which the Bridge Facility is available subject to the conditions set forth herein (the “Closing Date”).

	The maturity date (the “Maturity Date”) of the Bridge Facility will be the date that is 364 days after the Closing Date.

		
	Amortization:
	All loans outstanding under the Bridge Facility will be due and payable on the Maturity Date. 

Exhibit A-1

 

		
	Interest Rate:
	All amounts outstanding under the Bridge Facility will bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate per annum equal to:

(a)    the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; or
(b)    the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
The “Applicable Margin” will be determined as of any date by reference to the pricing grid contained in Annex I to this Exhibit A (the “Pricing Grid”).
As used herein, (i) “Base Rate” means a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the greatest of (x) the rate last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “prime rate” or, if The Wall Street Journal ceases to quote such rate, the highest rate per annum published by the Federal Reserve Board as the “bank prime loan” rate or,  if such rate is no longer quoted, any similar release by the Federal Reserve Board, (y) the Federal Funds effective rate plus 1⁄2 of 1.0% and (z) the one-month reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0% and (ii) “reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate” means, with respect to an interest period, a fluctuating rate per annum equal to (x) the rate per annum determined by the Administrative Agent to be the offered rate appearing on the page of the Reuters Screen which displays an average London interbank offered rate administered by ICE Benchmark Administration Limited for a period of time equal to such selected interest period (the “LIBOR Rate”), or (y) if the rate in clause (x) above does not appear on such page or service or if such page or service is not available, the rate per annum determined by the Administrative Agent to be the offered rate on such other page or other service which displays the LIBOR Rate for a period of time equal to such selected interest period, in each case as adjusted for applicable reserve requirements; provided that if LIBOR Rates are quoted under either of clauses (ii)(x) or (ii)(y), but there is not such quotation for the interest period elected, the LIBOR Rate shall be equal to the interpolated rate.

	Interest Payments:
	Quarterly for loans bearing interest based upon the Base Rate; on the last day of the applicable interest periods (which will be one, two, three and six months) for loans bearing interest based upon the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate (and at the end of every three months, in the case of interest periods longer than three months); and upon each mandatory and voluntary prepayment on the principal amount prepaid, in each case payable in arrears and computed on the basis of a 360-day year with respect to loans bearing interest based upon the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate and a 365/366-day year with respect to loans bearing interest based upon clause (x) or (y) of the definition of Base Rate.

		
	Funding Protection and Taxes:
	Customary for transactions of this type, including breakage costs, gross-up for tax withholding, compensation for increased costs and compliance with capital adequacy, liquidity requirements and other regulatory restrictions. It is understood that (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

In addition, the commitments under the Bridge Facility shall be automatically reduced by the principal amount of commitments obtained by the Company or any of its subsidiaries entering into any committed but unfunded term loan or similar agreement for the purpose of financing the Transactions (a “Term Loan Facility”), to the extent that the conditions to availability thereunder are no more restrictive to the Company than the conditions to availability of the Bridge Facility.

In the event of a split rating, each of the Applicable Margin and the Ticking Fee Rate will be determined by reference to the level in the grid above in which the higher rating appears, unless the split in the Debt Ratings is two or more levels apart, in which case the Applicable Margin and the Ticking Fee Rate will be determined by reference to the level in the grid that is one higher than the level in which the lower rating appears.  In the event that debt ratings are not obtained, the pricing will be determined based on Rating Level 5.  The Debt Ratings shall be determined from the most recent public announcement of any changes in the Debt Ratings.  Prior to the public announcement of Debt Ratings that give effect to the Transactions, each of  the Applicable Margin and the Ticking Fee Rate will be determined by reference to Rating Level 3 in the grid above.

Annex I to Exhibit A-1

 

“Debt Ratings” means as of any date of determination, the public rating as determined by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P”) or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.(“Moody’s”), as the case may be, of the Company’s senior unsecured non-credit enhanced long-term indebtedness for borrowed money.
