	Attachment II, Core Contract Provisions, Section XVI, Terms and Conditions, Item HH., Communications is hereby included as follows:

		
	HH.
	Notwithstanding any term or condition of this Contract to the contrary, the Health Plan bears sole responsibility for ensuring that its performance of this Contract (and that of its’ subcontractors related to this Contract) fully complies with all state and federal law governing the monitoring, interception, recording, use or disclosure of wire, oral or electronic communications, including but not limited to the Florida Security of Communications Act, §§ 934.01, et seq., F.S., and the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2510 et seq. (hereafter, collectively, “Communication Privacy Laws”).  Prior to intercepting, recording or monitoring any communications which are subject to Communication Privacy Laws, the Health Plan must:  (1) submit a plan which specifies in detail the manner in which the Health Plan (and its’ subcontractors related to this contract) will ensure that such actions are in full compliance with Communication Privacy Laws (the “Privacy Compliance Plan”); and (2) obtain written approval, signed and stamped by the Agency Contract Manager, approving the Privacy Compliance Plan.  No modifications to an approved Privacy Compliance Plan may be implemented by the Health Plan unless an amended Privacy Compliance Plan is submitted to the Agency, and written approval of the amended Privacy Compliance Plan is signed and notarized by the Agency Contract Manager.  Agency approval of the Health Plan’s Privacy Compliance Plan in no way constitutes a representation by the Agency that the Compliance Plan is in full compliance with applicable Communication Privacy Laws, or otherwise shifts or diminishes the Health Plan’s sole burden to ensure full compliance with applicable Communication Privacy Laws in all aspects of the Health Plan’s performance of this Contract.  Violation of this term may result in sanctions to include termination of the contract and/or liquidated damages.

Unless otherwise stated, this Amendment shall be effective upon execution by both Parties.
All provisions not in conflict with this Amendment are still in effect and are to be performed at the level specified in this Contract.
This Amendment and all its attachments are hereby made part of this Contract.
This Amendment cannot be executed unless all previous amendments to this Contract have been fully executed.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have caused this eight (8) page Amendment (including all attachments) to be executed by their officials thereunto duly authorized.

(iii)  

	
third, after the Company and Newco shall have made, or caused to be made, payments pursuant to this Agreement to the Holders in an aggregate amount equal to the sum of the Maximum First Payment Amount and the Maximum Second Payment Amount, an amount equal to the product of the Applicable Percentage and the Net Asset Sale Proceeds, Net Extraordinary Receipts or Net Securities Proceeds, as applicable, with respect to such Disposition, Extraordinary Event or Securities Issuance less the amount of any Tax Distributions received by Holders pursuant to Section 8 subsequent to the payment of the Maximum Second Payment Amount and since the last payment to Holders under this Agreement.

 

(b) Any amount owed to the Holders under Sections 1, 2 or 3 of this Agreement shall be paid in cash to the accounts specified from time to time by such Holders no later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the next Business Day following the closing of the

(e) The Company and Newco agree not to, and the Company and Newco agree not to permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Disposition unless (i) the Company, Newco or such Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Disposition at least equal to the fair market value of the property, Equity Interests or Indebtedness (as defined in the Credit Agreement) involved and (ii) all of the consideration therefrom received by the Company, Newco or such Subsidiary is in the form of cash and Cash Equivalents (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The prohibition contained in this paragraph (e) shall not apply to (A) issuances of Equity Interests of Newco to the Company or of a Subsidiary of Newco to Newco or any wholly-owned Subsidiary of Newco, or (B) contributions by the Company to Newco or by Newco or a Subsidiary of Newco to any wholly-owned Subsidiary of Newco.

(1)  

	
in addition to the exceptions provided for in Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement, the Company, Newco and their respective Subsidiaries shall be permitted to create, incur, assume or suffer to exist Liens securing Indebtedness; provided that the aggregate amount of all such Indebtedness at any one time outstanding shall not exceed $50,000,000, but otherwise subject to all other

 

 

 

  

14

  

 

 

	
 

	
covenants incorporated by reference herein and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement;

 

	
(2)  

	
in addition to the exceptions provided for in Section 7.02 of the Credit Agreement, the Company, Newco and their respective Subsidiaries shall be permitted to make Investments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $25,000,000 at any time outstanding, but otherwise subject to all other covenants incorporated by reference herein and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, including paragraph (c) above;

in addition to the exceptions provided for in Section 7.03 of the Credit Agreement, the Company, Newco and their respective Subsidiaries shall be permitted to create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Indebtedness; provided that the aggregate amount of all such Indebtedness at any one time outstanding shall not exceed $50,000,000, but otherwise subject to all other covenants incorporated by reference herein and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement; and

 

	
(4)  

	
in addition to the exceptions provided for in Section 7.04 of the Credit Agreement, the Company, Newco and their respective Subsidiaries shall be permitted to consummate any transaction that results in a Change of Control if the Company, Newco and their respective Subsidiaries comply with all their obligations under Section 4 with respect to such transaction, but otherwise subject to all other covenants incorporated by reference herein and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

	
(ii)  

	
For the avoidance of doubt, each covenant incorporated by reference herein pursuant to paragraph (e)(i) above, shall be deemed to expressly permit any payments made in accordance with this Agreement.

 

7. Publicity.  No party hereto shall make any public announcements or otherwise communicate with any news media with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, without prior notice and, if practicable, consultation with the other parties as to the timing and contents of any such announcement or communications, it being understood that each party shall remain exclusively responsible for their own public announcements or other communications notwithstanding the requirement to consult with the other parties hereto.

 

8. Tax Agreement.  The parties agree for all tax purposes to treat the rights provided in this Agreement as a partnership interest in Newco issued in exchange for a cash contribution to Newco of the amount allocable to this Agreement and to treat each Holder as a partner in Newco and the parties agree not to take any position that is inconsistent with the foregoing. In addition, Newco shall make tax distributions to each Holder calculated and distributed in a manner and at times consistent with Section 4.4 of the Company’s Limited Liability Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof) with respect to any taxable income allocable to such Holder 

 

 

  

15

  

 

 

(“Tax Distributions”); provided that the calculation of Tax Distributions shall take into account any losses of the Holders with respect to Newco previously incurred and carried forward subject to applicable tax law limitations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties agree that payments required under the Tax Receivable Agreement (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and any Restricted Payment by Newco or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of, or the proceeds of which are used to make, payments required under the Tax Receivable Agreement, except to the extent such payments constitute a Permitted Company Tax Distribution (as defined in the Credit Agreement), shall not (a) constitute expenses referred to in clause (iii) of paragraph (e) of Section 2, (b) for the avoidance of doubt, be treated as a Permitted Payment under clause (iv) of paragraph (e) of Section 2, or (c) be taken into account for purposes of the netting of Taxes, Permitted Tax Distributions and/or any other tax distributions in the definitions of Net Asset Sale Proceeds, Net Extraordinary Receipts, Net Securities Proceeds or for purposes of any other provision of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, if (A) the Company, Newco or any of their respective Subsidiaries makes any payment required under the Tax Receivable Agreement or any payment in respect of, or the proceeds of which are used to make, payments required under the Tax Receivable Agreement and (B) such payment does not constitute a Permitted Company Tax Distribution, such payment shall be deemed a Restricted Payment made by Newco and Newco shall pay to the Holders an amount equal to the product of then applicable Applicable Percentage and the amount of such payment. Any amounts paid to Holders pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be treated as distributed pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Section 2(a).

 

9. Treatment of the Payment.  The $300 million of cash proceeds received from the initial Holder on January 16, 2015 shall be treated as a loan to Newco of $290 million and a contribution to Newco of $10 million in exchange for the rights set forth in this Agreement, which shall be treated as a partnership interest in Newco. The parties agree and acknowledge that the Company contributed its assets to Newco (subject to the outstanding debt with respect to the credit agreement, entered into as of December 19, 2011, among the Company, each lender from time to time party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as the administrative agent) (the “Revolver”), and the Newco used a portion of the $290 million loan to pay and discharge the Revolver.

 

10. Governing Law; Arbitration; Waiver of Jury Trial.

 

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, NY and any appellate court thereof in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, (A) ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY) AND (B) ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LEGAL PROCEEDING IN THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any dispute regarding computation of amounts owing to the Holders pursuant to this Agreement (“Calculation Dispute”) shall be finally resolved by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA then in effect (the “Rules”), except as modified herein and such arbitration shall be administered by the AAA. The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York. This agreement to arbitrate shall not apply to any other disputes regarding the interpretation, breach, termination or validity hereof.

 

(c) There shall be one arbitrator who shall be agreed upon by the parties within twenty (20) days of receipt by respondent of a copy of the demand for arbitration.

Any arbitrator appointed by the AAA shall be a retired judge or a practicing attorney, in each case with no less than fifteen years of experience with corporate and finance matters and an experienced arbitrator. In rendering an award, the arbitrator shall be required to follow the laws of the State of New York.

 

(d) The award shall be in writing and shall briefly state the findings of the arbitrator. The award shall be final and binding upon the parties and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between the parties regarding any Calculation Dispute. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over any party or any of its assets. Any costs or fees (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incident to enforcing the award shall be charged against the party resisting such enforcement.

Before making any disclosure permitted by the preceding sentence (other than private disclosure to financial regulatory authorities), the party intending to make such disclosure shall use reasonable efforts to give the other party reasonable written notice of the intended disclosure and afford the other party a reasonable opportunity to protect its interests.

 

(f) The determination as to whether matters are or are not within or without the scope of the arbitrator's powers pursuant to this Section 10 shall be determined by the arbitrator and such determination shall be final and binding upon the parties.

 

(g) This Section 10 survives termination of this Agreement.

17

  

 

 

not be permitted to effect any such Transfer if such Transfer would cause the Company to be taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and any attempt to effect such Transfer shall be null and void), (ii) notwithstanding clause (i) of this Section 11, Holders shall be permitted to Transfer their rights under this Agreement so long as the aggregate number of Holders with respect to the interest originally held by Leucadia National Corporation are not held by more than ninety-eight (98) partners, within the meaning of section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and (iii) notwithstanding clause (i) of this Section 11, a Transfer shall permitted and recognized (and shall not be null and void) if a Holder notifies in writing Parent, the Company or Newco of such Transfer and neither Parent, the Company nor Newco object to such Transfer within ten (10) business days. Newco shall establish and maintain a register reflecting the name and address of each Holder and each subsequent assignee. Under no circumstances shall Parent, the Company or Newco be permitted to assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and any purported assignment by Parent, the Company or Newco in violation of this sentence shall be null and void. Newco shall establish and maintain a register reflecting the name and address of each Holder and each subsequent assignee.

This Agreement or any counterpart may be executed via facsimile or other electronic (e.g., PDF) transmission, and any such executed facsimile or other electronic copy shall be treated as an original.

 

15. Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be declared by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, (a) all other provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected and shall remain in full force and effect and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.

 

16. Credit Agreement.  This Agreement shall continue in effect, and the obligations to make the various payments and perform other covenants pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall continue, whether or not the obligations under the Credit Agreement are satisfied and paid in full and whether or not the Credit Agreement is terminated, refinanced or replaced.

18

  

 

 

agreement by any Holder to any amendment, supplement, waiver, consent or other modification to the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in such Holder’s capacity as the Administrative Agent or a Lender (as defined in the Credit Agreement) shall not, unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by such Holder, constitute (a) an amendment, supplement, waiver, consent or other modification of this Agreement or (b) an agreement by such Holder that the references herein to the Credit Agreement shall give effect to such amendment, supplement, waiver, consent or other modification.

 

17. Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersedes and cancels any prior agreements, representations, warranties, whether oral or written, among the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof, including the Original Letter Agreement.

 

18. Calculation of Payments.  The calculation of any amount due and payable to any Holder pursuant to this Agreement shall be based solely on such Holder’s rights and interests in its capacity as a Holder hereunder and without regard to any amounts received or receivable by such Holder in any other capacity.

This Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the earlier to occur of (a) the consummation of a sale pursuant to Section 3 of all of the Equity Interests in or assets of the Company or Newco (whether by merger, stock purchase, sale of all of the Company’s, Newco’s and/or any of their respective Subsidiaries’ assets or Equity Interests), provided that Parent, the Company and Newco have complied with all of their respective obligations under this Agreement, including with respect to any payments due upon consummation of such transaction or (b) following a Change of Control, the date on which the Company and Newco have complied with all of their respective obligations under Section 4 and paid all other amounts owing to Holders under this Agreement.
