Attention: Karey L. Witty,
Chief Financial Officer
Ladies and Gentlemen:
HealthSpring, Inc. (the “Borrower” or “you”) has advised J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. (“JPMorgan”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), Banc of America Securities LLC (“BAS”), Bank of America, N.A. (“BOA”) and Raymond James Bank, FSB (“RJB”; together with JPMorgan, JPMCB, BAS and BOA, the “Commitment Parties”, “we” or “us”) that you intend to acquire the Target and consummate the other transactions described in the introductory paragraphs of the Summary of Terms and Conditions attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Term Sheet”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein are used with the meanings assigned to them in the Term Sheet.
In connection with the foregoing, you have requested that JPMorgan, BAS and RJB agree to structure, arrange and syndicate senior credit facilities as described in the Term Sheet in an aggregate amount of up to $750,000,000 (collectively, the “Credit Facilities”). You have also requested that JPMCB, BOA and RJB commit to provide the Credit Facilities and that JPMCB and BOA agree to serve as the Applicable Agents for the Credit Facilities. “Applicable Agents” means (i) syndication agent (or administrative agent in the event the Credit Agreement Amendment is not effected by the Closing Date) in the case of JPMCB, (ii) administrative agent (or syndication agent in the event the Credit Agreement Amendment is not effected by the Closing Date) in the case of BOA and (iii) co-documentation agent in the case of RJB.
JPMorgan and BAS are pleased to advise you that they are willing to act as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners for the Credit Facilities, RJB is pleased to advise you that it is willing to act as co-arranger for the Credit Facilities, JPMCB is pleased to advise you of its commitment to provide 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Credit Facilities, BOA is pleased to advise you of its commitment to provide 30% of the aggregate principal amount of the Credit Facilities and RJB is pleased to advise you of its commitment to provide 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Credit Facilities. This Commitment Letter and the Term Sheet set forth the principal terms and conditions on and subject to which JPMCB, BOA and RJB are committing to make available the Credit Facilities.

 

 


 

It is agreed that JPMorgan and BAS will act as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners in respect of the Credit Facilities (in such capacities, the “Bookrunners”), that RJB will act as co-arranger in respect of the Credit Facilities (in such capacity, the “Co-Arranger”; together with the Bookrunners, the “Arrangers”) and that JPMCB and BOA will act as the Applicable Agents in respect of the Credit Facilities (it being understood and agreed that JPMorgan will have “left placement” and BAS will have “right placement” in any marketing materials and other documentation used in connection with the Credit Facilities). You agree that, as a condition to the commitments and agreements hereunder, no other agents, co-agents or arrangers will be appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than that expressly contemplated by the Term Sheet and Fee Letters referred to below) will be paid in connection with the Credit Facilities unless you and we shall so agree.
The Bookrunners intend to syndicate the Credit Facilities to a group of lenders (together with JPMCB, BOA and RJB, the “Lenders”) identified by them in consultation with you; provided that notwithstanding the Bookrunners’ right to syndicate the Credit Facilities and receive commitments with respect thereto, unless consented to by you, (i) the Commitment Parties shall not be relieved or novated from their respective obligations hereunder in connection with any syndication or assignment of the commitments until the Closing Date has occurred, and no assignment or novation shall become effective with respect to any portion of the commitment of any Commitment Party in respect of the Credit Facilities until the initial funding of the Credit Facilities on the Closing Date, and (ii) the Commitment Parties shall retain exclusive control over all of their respective voting rights with respect to their respective commitments hereunder, and with respect to consents, modifications, supplements, waivers and amendments in respect hereof, until the Closing Date has occurred. The Bookrunners intend to commence syndication efforts promptly, and you agree actively to assist the Bookrunners in completing a syndication satisfactory to them. Such assistance shall include (a) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the syndication efforts benefit materially from the existing banking relationships of the Borrower, (b) direct contact between senior management and advisors of the Borrower, and consistent with the provisions of the Acquisition Agreement, the Target, and the proposed Lenders, (c) as set forth in the next paragraph, assistance from the Borrower and, consistent with the provisions of the Acquisition Agreement, the Target, in the preparation of materials to be used in connection with the syndication (collectively, with the Term Sheet, the “Information Materials”) and (d) the hosting, with us and senior management of the Borrower and the Target, of one or more meetings of prospective Lenders.
You will assist the Bookrunners in preparing Information Materials, including Confidential Information Memoranda, for distribution to prospective Lenders. If requested by the Commitment Parties, you also will assist the Bookrunners in preparing an additional version of the Information Materials (the “Public-Side Version”) to be used by prospective Lenders’ public-side employees and representatives (“Public-Siders”) who do not wish to receive material non-public information (within the meaning of United States federal securities laws) with respect to the Borrower, the Target, their respective affiliates and any of their respective securities (“MNPI”) and who may be engaged in investment and other market related activities with respect to any such entity’s securities or loans. Before distribution of any Information Materials, you agree to execute and deliver to the Bookrunners (i) a letter in which you authorize distribution of the Information Materials to a prospective Lender’s employees willing to receive MNPI (“Private-Siders”) and (ii) a separate letter in which you authorize distribution of the Public-Side Version to Public-Siders and represent that no MNPI is contained therein.
The Borrower agrees that the following documents may be distributed to both Private-Siders and Public-Siders, unless the Borrower advises the Bookrunners in writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their intended distribution that such materials should only be distributed to Private-Siders: (a) administrative materials prepared by the Commitment Parties for prospective Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation, lender allocations and funding and closing memoranda), (b) notification of changes in the terms of the Credit Facilities and (c) other materials intended for prospective Lenders after the initial distribution of Information Materials. If you advise us that any of the foregoing should be distributed only to Private-Siders, then Public-Siders will not receive such materials without further discussions with you.

The Borrower hereby authorizes the Commitment Parties to distribute drafts of definitive documentation with respect to the Credit Facilities to Private-Siders and Public-Siders.
The parties hereto agree that information and materials may be distributed or sent through electronic means (including IntraLinks, SyndTrak or another electronic workspace) and that the use of such means is expressly authorized hereby.
The Bookrunners will manage, in consultation with you, all aspects of the syndication, including decisions as to the selection of institutions to be approached and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate, the allocation of the commitments among the Lenders and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders. The Bookrunners will have no responsibility other than to arrange the syndication as set forth herein and in no event shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties. Additionally, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Bookrunners are not advising the Borrower as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Borrower shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Bookrunners shall have no responsibility or liability to the Borrower with respect thereto.
To assist the Bookrunners in their syndication efforts, you agree promptly to prepare and provide to the Bookrunners all information with respect to the Borrower and the Target and their subsidiaries, the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated hereby, including all financial information and projections (the “Projections”), as they may reasonably request in connection with the arrangement and syndication of the Credit Facilities. You hereby represent and covenant that (a) all information other than the Projections (the “Information”) that has been or will be made available to the Bookrunners by you or any of your representatives is or will be, when furnished, complete and correct in all material respects and does not or will not, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made; provided that the foregoing representation with respect to Information regarding the Target is made to the knowledge of the Borrower and (b) the Projections that have been or will be made available to the Bookrunners by you or any of your representatives have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon reasonable assumptions. You understand that in arranging and syndicating the Credit Facilities the Bookrunners may use and rely on the Information and Projections without independent verification thereof.
As consideration for the commitments and agreements of the Commitment Parties hereunder, you agree to pay the nonrefundable fees described in the applicable Fee Letters dated the date hereof and delivered herewith (collectively, the “Fee Letters”).
