BUSINESS GENERAL Humana Inc. is a Delaware corporation organized in 1961. Its principal executive offices are located at 500 West Main Street, Louisville, Kentucky 40202, and its telephone number at that address is (502) 580-1000. As used herein, the term "the Company" includes Humana Inc. and its subsidiaries. On March 1, 1993, the Company separated its acute-care hospital and managed care health plan businesses into two independent publicly-held companies (the "Spinoff"). The Spinoff was effected through the distribution to Humana stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 1, 1993, of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of a new hospital company, Galen Health Care, Inc. ("Galen"). Galen was subsequently merged, through an unrelated transaction, with a subsidiary of Columbia Healthcare Corporation (now Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation) ("Columbia") and, therefore, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Columbia. The Company continues to operate the managed care health plan business. In conjunction with the Spinoff, the Company changed its fiscal year end from August 31 to December 31. Since 1983, the Company has offered managed health care products which integrate financing and management with the delivery of health care services through a network of providers who share financial risk or who have incentives to deliver cost-effective medical services. These products are marketed primarily through health maintenance organizations ("HMOs") and preferred provider organizations ("PPOs") that encourage, and in most HMO products require, use of contracting providers. HMOs and PPOs also control health care costs by various other means, including the use of utilization controls such as pre-admission approval for hospital inpatient services and pre-authorization of outpatient surgical procedures. The HMO and PPO products of the Company are primarily marketed to employer and other groups ("Commercial") and Medicare-eligible individuals. The products marketed to Medicare-eligible individuals are either HMO products that provide health care services which include all Medicare benefits, and in certain circumstances, additional health care services that are not included in Medicare benefits ("Medicare risk") or indemnity insurance policies that supplement Medicare benefits ("Medicare supplement"). Since 1983, the growth in the Company's HMO business has been primarily attributable to acquisitions, while the growth in its PPO business has been exclusively from internally produced sales. COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS HMOs An HMO provides prepaid health care services to its members through primary care and specialty physicians employed by the HMO at facilities owned by the HMO, or through a network of independent primary care and specialty physicians and other health care providers who contract with the HMO or the primary care physician to furnish such services. Primary care physicians include internists, family practitioners and pediatricians. Generally, access to specialty physicians and other health care providers must be approved by the member's primary care physician. These other health care providers include, among others, hospitals, nursing homes, home health agencies, pharmacies, mental health and substance abuse centers, diagnostic centers, optometrists, outpatient surgery centers, dentists, urgent care centers, and durable medical equipment suppliers. Because access to these other health care providers must be approved by the primary care physician, the HMO product is the most restrictive form of managed care. At December 31, 1993, the Company owned and operated ten HMOs, which contract with approximately 27,400 physicians (including approximately 5,900 primary care physicians) and 480 hospitals. In addition, the Company has approximately 1,300 contracts with other providers to provide services to HMO members. The Company also employed approximately 450 physicians in its HMOs. An HMO member pays a monthly fee which generally covers, with minimal co-payments, health care services received or approved by the member's primary care physician. For the year ended December 31, 1993, Commercial HMO premium revenues totaled approximately $1.4 billion or 43 percent of the Company's 1 3 premium revenues of $3.1 billion. Approximately $168 million of the Company's premium revenues for the year ended December 31, 1993, were derived from contracts with the United States Office of Personnel Management ("OPM") under which the Company provides health care benefits to approximately 122,700 federal civilian employees and their dependents. Pursuant to these contracts, payments made by OPM may be retrospectively adjusted downward by OPM if an audit discloses that a comparable product was offered by the Company to a similarly sized subscriber group using a rating formula which resulted in a lower premium rate than that offered to OPM. PPOs PPO products include many elements of managed health care. In a PPO, the enrollee is encouraged, through financial incentives, to use preferred health care providers which have contracted with the PPO to provide services at favorable rates. PPOs are also similar to traditional health insurance because they provide an enrollee with the freedom to choose a physician or other health care provider. At December 31, 1993, approximately 24,300 physicians and 480 hospitals contracted with the Company to provide services to PPO enrollees. In addition, the Company has approximately 1,300 contracts with other providers to provide services to PPO enrollees. For the year ended December 31, 1993, premium revenues from Commercial PPOs totaled $357 million or 11 percent of the Company's premium revenues of $3.1 billion. MEDICARE PRODUCTS Medicare is a federal program that provides persons age 65 and over and some disabled persons certain hospital and medical insurance benefits, which include hospitalization benefits for up to 90 days per incident of illness plus a lifetime reserve aggregating 60 days. Each Medicare eligible individual is entitled to receive inpatient hospital care (Part A) without the payment of any premium, but is required to pay a premium to the federal government, which is annually adjusted, to be eligible for physician and other services (Part B). Even though participating in both Part A and Part B of Medicare, beneficiaries are still required to pay certain deductible and co-insurance amounts. They may, if they choose, supplement their Medicare coverage by purchasing policies which pay these deductibles and co-insurance amounts. Many of these policies also cover other services (such as prescription drugs) which are not included in Medicare coverage. These policies are known as Medicare supplement policies. Certain managed care companies which operate HMOs contract with the federal government's Health Care Financing Administration ("HCFA") to provide medical benefits to Medicare-eligible individuals residing in the geographic areas in which their HMOs operate in exchange for a fixed monthly payment from HCFA per enrollee. Individuals who elect to participate in these Medicare risk programs are relieved of the obligation to pay some or all of the deductible or co-insurance amounts but are required to use exclusively the services provided by the HMO. Other than the Part B premium paid by the enrollee to the Medicare program, the enrollee does not pay the HMO a premium for these services except where the benefits provided by the HMO exceed the benefits provided by the Medicare program. Medicare Risk As discussed above, a Medicare risk product involves a contract between an HMO and HCFA pursuant to which HCFA makes a fixed monthly payment to the HMO on behalf of each Medicare-eligible individual who chooses to enroll for coverage by the HMO. Enrollment may be terminated by the member upon 30 days' notice. The fixed monthly payment is determined and adjusted annually by HCFA, and takes into account, among other things, the cost of providing medical care in the geographic area where the member resides. The Company markets a variety of Medicare risk HMO products. All of these products provide an enrolled individual with all of the benefits covered by the Medicare program but relieve the enrolled individual of the obligation to pay deductibles and co-insurance that would otherwise apply. Some of these products also 2 4 provide additional benefits not covered by Medicare, such as vision and dental care services and prescription drugs. Where competitive conditions permit, the Company also charges a premium to members (in addition to the payment from HCFA) for some of the Medicare risk products. At December 31, 1993, approximately 73,300 members in nine markets were paying premiums which totaled $51 million for the year ended December 31, 1993. The Company provides Medicare risk services under seven contracts with HCFA ("HCFA Contracts") in 10 markets. At December 31, 1993, HCFA Contracts covered approximately 270,800 Medicare risk members for which the Company received HCFA revenues of approximately $1.2 billion or 40 percent of the Company's premium revenues for the year ended December 31, 1993, of $3.1 billion. At December 31, 1993, one such HCFA Contract covered approximately 210,000 members in Florida. For the year ended December 31, 1993, this Florida HCFA Contract accounted for $1 billion or 80 percent of the Company's HCFA revenues of approximately $1.2 billion or 32 percent of the Company's total premium revenues. Each HCFA Contract is renewed each December 31 unless HCFA or the Company terminates it upon at least 90 days' notice prior thereto. Management believes termination of the HCFA Contract covering the members in Florida would have a material adverse effect on the Company's revenues, profitability and business prospects. Moreover, changes in the Medicare risk program, such as reduction in payments by HCFA or mandated increases in benefits without corresponding increases in payments, could also have a material adverse effect on the Company's revenues, profitability and business prospects. Effective January 1, 1994, payments under the Company's HCFA Contracts increased by an average of approximately 3 percent. Although annual increases have varied significantly, increases have averaged approximately 7 percent over the last five years, including the increase of January 1994. Medicare Supplement The Company's Medicare supplement product is an insurance policy which pays for hospital deductibles, co-payments and co-insurance for which the Medicare program participant is responsible. Under the terms of existing Medicare supplement policies, the Company may not reduce or cancel the benefits contracted for by policyholders. These policies are annually renewable by the insured at the Company's prevailing rates, which may increase subject to approval by appropriate state insurance regulators. At December 31, 1993, the Company provided Medicare supplement benefits to approximately 153,600 members. Premium revenues derived from this product for the year ended December 31, 1993, totaled $132 million. PROVIDER ARRANGEMENTS The Company's HMOs contract with individual or groups of primary care physicians, generally for an actuarially determined, fixed, per-member-per-month fee called a "capitation" payment. These contracts typically obligate primary care physicians to provide or arrange for the provision of all covered health care services to HMO members, including health care services provided by specialty physicians and other health care providers. The capitation payment does not vary with the nature or extent of health care services arranged for or provided to the member and is generally designed to shift all or part of the HMO's financial risk to the primary care physician. However, the degree to which the Company shifts its risk varies by provider. The Company remains financially responsible for the provision of or payment for such health care services if a primary care physician fails to perform his or her obligations under the contract. The Company also employs 450 physicians in markets where it operates staff model HMOs. The Company is directly responsible for all health care services provided by these employed physicians. In order to control costs, improve quality and create comprehensive networks, the Company also contracts with medical specialists and other providers to which a primary care physician may refer a member. Typically, payments by the Company to these specialists and other providers reduce the ultimate payment that otherwise would be made to a primary care physician. 3 5 The Company's HMOs and PPOs contract for hospital services generally under a per diem payment arrangement for inpatient hospital services and a discounted fee-for-service payment arrangement for outpatient services. The Company's PPOs contract on a per diem or discounted basis with other health care providers. Many of the physicians who contract with the Company's HMOs also contract with its PPOs to provide services to enrollees at discounted fees. In addition, in a number of markets the Company's PPOs contract with physicians who have not contracted with its HMOs. Physician participation in the Company's HMOs and PPOs is conditioned upon meeting its HMOs' and PPOs' requirements concerning the physician's professional qualifications. Effective with the consummation of the Spinoff, the Company entered into a three-year operating agreement with Galen whereby the Company will use the services of Galen's hospitals guaranteeing certain minimum utilization levels. The rate increases charged for such services are defined under the terms of the agreement. Commercial rate increases are limited to the lesser of the increase in the hospital Consumer Price Index or the Company's premium rate increases, less 1 percent. The Medicare risk rate increases are equal to the percentage adjustment in HCFA's market specific hospital payment rate to the Company. During the year ended December 31, 1993, 16 percent of the Company's total medical costs were incurred in Galen's hospitals. MARKETING Individuals become members of the Company's Commercial HMOs and PPOs through their employer or other groups which typically offer employees or members a selection of health care products, pay for all or part of the premiums and make payroll deductions for any premiums payable by the employees. The Company attempts to become an employer's or group's exclusive source of health care benefits by offering HMO and PPO products that provide cost-effective quality care consistent with the health care needs and expectations of the employees or members. The Company uses various methods to market its Commercial and Medicare products, including television, radio, telemarketing and mailings. At December 31, 1993, the Company used approximately 2,000 independent licensed brokers and agents and 160 licensed employees to sell its Commercial products. Many employer groups are represented by insurance brokers and consultants who assist these groups in the design and purchase of health care products. The Company generally pays brokers a commission based on premiums, with commissions varying by market and premium volume. At December 31, 1993, approximately 260 independent licensed brokers and 430 employed sales representatives, who are each paid a salary and/or per member commission, marketed the Company's Medicare products. 4 6 The following table lists the Company's Commercial, Medicare risk and Medicare supplement membership at December 31, 1993, by market and product:

- --------------- (1) Includes Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. The Company acquired an HMO in Washington, D.C., with approximately 125,000 members for $55 million on February 28, 1994. The Company's 25 largest group contracts at December 31, 1993, accounted for approximately 33 percent of total Commercial membership. No one group contract accounted for as much as 5 percent of the Company's Commercial product premium revenues; however, certain employer groups accounted for a significant percentage of Commercial insurance premiums in some markets. The loss of one or more of these contracts in a particular market could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations in that market. CONTROL OF HEALTH CARE COSTS The focal point for cost control in the Company's HMOs is the primary care physician, whether employed or under contract, who provides services and controls utilization of services by directing or approving hospitalization and referrals to specialists and other health care providers. Cost control in the Company's PPOs is achieved through obtaining discounts from participating health care providers. With respect to both HMO and PPO products, cost control is further achieved through use of a utilization review system managed by the Company designed to reduce unnecessary hospital admissions and lengths of stay and unnecessary or inappropriate medical procedures. New technologies (which typically require substantial expenditures), inflation, increasing hospital costs and numerous other external factors may adversely affect the ability of the Company to control health care costs in the future. RISK MANAGEMENT Through the use of internally developed underwriting criteria, the Company determines the risk it is willing to assume and the amount of premium to charge for its Commercial products. Employer and other groups must meet the Company's underwriting standards in order to qualify to contract with the Company for coverage. Underwriting techniques are not employed in connection with Medicare risk HMO products 5 7 because of HCFA regulations that require the Company to accept all eligible Medicare applicants regardless of their health or prior medical history. COMPETITION The health care benefit industry is highly competitive and contracts for the sale of Commercial products are generally bid or renewed annually. The Company's competitors vary by local market and include Blue Cross/Blue Shield (including HMOs and PPOs owned by Blue Cross/Blue Shield plans), national insurance companies and other HMOs and PPOs. Many of the Company's competitors have larger enrollments in local markets or greater financial resources. The Company's ability to sell its products and to retain customers is influenced by such factors as benefits, pricing, contract terms, number and quality of participating physicians and other health care providers, utilization review, claims processing and administrative efficiency. GOVERNMENT REGULATION Of the Company's 13 licensed HMO subsidiaries, six are qualified under the Federal Health Maintenance Organization Act of 1973, as amended. Four of these six subsidiaries are parties to HCFA Contracts to provide Medicare risk HMO products in 10 markets. An HMO which is federally qualified may require employers with more than 25 employees that offer health insurance benefits to include federally qualified HMO products as an option available to their employees. To obtain federal qualification, an HMO must meet certain requirements, including conformance with financial criteria, a standard method of rate setting, a comprehensive benefit package, and prohibition of medical underwriting of individuals. In certain markets, and for certain products, the Company operates HMOs that are not federally qualified because this provides greater flexibility with respect to product design and pricing than is possible for federally qualified HMOs. HCFA audits Medicare risk HMOs at least biannually and may perform other reviews more frequently to determine compliance with federal regulations and contractual obligations. These audits include review of the HMOs' administration and management (including management information and data collection systems), fiscal stability, utilization management and incentive arrangements, health services delivery, quality assurance, marketing, enrollment activity, claims processing and complaint systems. HCFA regulations require quarterly and annual submission of financial statements and restrict the number of Medicare risk enrollees to no more than the HMO's Commercial enrollment in a specified service area. HCFA regulations also require independent review of medical records and quality of care, review and approval by HCFA of all advertising, marketing and communication materials, and independent review of all denied claims and service complaints which are not resolved in favor of a member. Laws in each of the states in which the Company operates its HMOs and PPOs regulate its operations, including the scope of benefits, rate formula, delivery systems, utilization review procedures, quality assurance, enrollment requirements, claim payments, marketing and advertising. The PPO products offered by the Company are sold under insurance licenses issued by the applicable state insurance regulators. The Company's HMOs and PPOs are required to be in compliance with certain minimum capital requirements. These requirements must be satisfied by investing in approved investments that generally cannot be used for other purposes. Under state laws, the Company's HMOs and PPOs are audited by state departments of insurance for financial and contractual compliance, and its HMOs are audited for compliance with health services standards by respective state departments of health. Management believes that the Company is in substantial compliance with all governmental laws and regulations affecting its business. NATIONAL HEALTH CARE REFORM Congress is in the process of evaluating a number of legislative proposals that would effect major changes in the United States health care system. Among the proposals under consideration are government imposed cost controls, measures to increase the availability of group health insurance coverage to employees, and the 6 8 creation of statewide health alliances that would cover individuals and families not enrolled in large employer health plans. Legislative reform is not anticipated before the latter part of 1994 and implementation of any reform package could take several additional years. In general, managed care is being considered as a means by which health care costs may be reduced. Although management believes the Company is well positioned to take advantage of the opportunities which will be afforded by national health care reform, it is not possible to predict the final form these proposals will take or the affect these proposals may have on the Company's operations. STATE HEALTH CARE REFORM During 1993, the State of Florida adopted health care reform legislation which, among other things, established a mechanism through which small employers and self-employed individuals may acquire health care coverage through state chartered non-profit entities known as Community Health Purchasing Alliances (CHPAs). It is intended the CHPAs will also be used to acquire insurance for state employees and Medicaid beneficiaries in the future. The legislation divides the state into 11 geographic areas and establishes a separate CHPA in each area. Humana intends to offer products in each of these geographic areas. In order to sell health care coverage to CHPA membership, an entity must register as an Accountable Health Partnership (AHP). An AHP may be either an insurer or an HMO and must specify in which geographic areas it wishes to offer its product. There are other requirements relating to organization, grievance procedures, terminations and product offerings for AHPs. Applicable Company HMOs and PPOs are in the process of registering as AHPs. Certain other states in which the Company operates are also actively pursuing health care reform; however, at this time it is not possible to predict the ultimate impact on the Company's operations. OTHER RELATED PRODUCTS The Company offers administrative services to employers who self-insure their employee health benefits. At December 31, 1993, the Company provided claims processing, utilization review and other administrative services to 40 self-insured employer groups, for approximately 63,700 employees and employee dependents. For the year ended December 31, 1993, revenues from these services totaled approximately $5 million. The Company operates a prescription drug management service which administers drug benefit programs for various HMOs and PPOs, including those of the Company. For the year ended December 31, 1993, prescription drug management service revenues from third-party customers totaled approximately $3 million. On June 30, 1993, the Company acquired the operations of a dental services company which provides dental products to employer groups, HMOs and PPOs, including those of the Company. Since the acquisition, dental service revenues from third-party customers totaled approximately $2 million. On March 3, 1994, the Company acquired a minority interest in a mental health HMO, which will provide services to the Company's members in certain markets as well as to third-party customers. OTHER BUSINESSES Hospital The Company operates a 170-bed hospital in Lexington, Kentucky, which was contributed to the Company by Galen in connection with the Spinoff. The hospital provides care primarily to members of the Company's managed care plans in Lexington. The Company is currently reviewing alternatives for the ultimate sale or third-party management of the hospital. Captive Insurance Company The Company insures substantially all professional liability risks through a wholly-owned subsidiary (the "Captive Subsidiary") which was incorporated in January 1993 in the State of Vermont. Previous to the Captive Subsidiary beginning operations in February 1993, professional liability risks were insured by a 7 9 subsidiary of Galen. In connection with the Spinoff, the Captive Subsidiary and the Galen subsidiary entered into a loss portfolio reinsurance agreement whereby the Captive Subsidiary will indemnify the Galen subsidiary, subject to aggregate limits, against all liabilities incurred by the Galen subsidiary related to the professional liability risks of the Company prior to September 1, 1993. Centralized Management Services Centralized management services are provided to each health plan from the Company's headquarters. These services include management information systems, financing, personnel, development, accounting, legal advice, public relations, marketing, insurance, purchasing, risk management, actuarial, underwriting and claims processing. EMPLOYEES As of December 31, 1993, the Company and its subsidiaries had approximately 8,800 full-time employees. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The Company owns its principal executive office, which is located in the Humana Building, 500 West Main Street, Louisville, Kentucky 40202. The Company provides medical services in medical centers owned or leased ranging in size from approximately 1,200 to 80,000 square feet. The Company's administrative market offices are generally leased, with square footage ranging from 1,000 to 75,000. The following chart lists the location of properties used in the operation of the Company at December 31, 1993:

In addition, the Company owns buildings in Louisville, Kentucky, and San Antonio, Texas, and leases a facility in Jacksonville, Florida, which are used for customer service and claims processing. The Louisville facility also performs enrollment processing and other corporate functions. The Company also owns a hospital and medical office building in Lexington, Kentucky. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS 1. A class action law suit styled Mary Forsyth, et al v. Humana Inc., et al, Case #CV-5-89-249-PMP(L.R.L.), was filed on March 29, 1989, in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada (the "Forsyth" case). The claims asserted by plaintiffs included an ERISA count seeking $49,440,000 of damages plus approximately $15,396,000 of interest, a RICO count seeking $103,562,165 of damages (before trebling) plus approximately $31,800,000 of interest, and an antitrust count for an unspecified 8 10 amount of damages which appears to be similar to those sought in the RICO count. Despite allegations made by the plaintiffs, the Company considered the substance of these claims to be a dispute concerning the calculation of health insurance benefits and believed the claimed damages were greatly in excess of any possible recovery even if plaintiffs were successful on every claim asserted. On July 21, 1993, summary judgment was entered in favor of the Company on all counts, although the court granted the co-payer class until August 24, 1993, to file a third amended complaint in which its members could seek to recover the difference between their co-insurance payments and what those payments would have been if co-insurance obligations of the co-payer class had originally been based on the discounted payments made by Humana Health Insurance Company of Nevada to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, Las Vegas, Nevada, (now owned by Columbia). On August 24, 1993, a third amended complaint styled Marietta Cade, et al vs. Humana Health Insurance of Nevada, Inc., et al was filed seeking damages as described above. On January 28, 1994, summary judgment was entered in favor of plaintiffs on this third amended complaint. A subsequent hearing will ascertain the amount of damages suffered by the co-payer class. The Company believes the final resolution of this litigation will not have a material adverse effect on its operations or financial position. 2. On April 22, 1993, an alleged stockholder of the Company filed a purported shareholder derivative action in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, County of New Castle, styled Lewis v. Austen, et al, Civil Action No. 12937. The action was purportedly brought on behalf of the Company and Galen against all of the directors of both companies at the time of the Spinoff alleging, among other things, that the defendants had improperly amended the Company's existing stock option plans in connection with the Spinoff. The plaintiff claims that the amendment to the stock option plans constituted a waste of corporate assets to the extent that employees of each company received options in the stock of the other company. (The challenged amendment to the plan was approved by the Company's stockholders at the 1993 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.) The plaintiff requests, among other things, an injunction prohibiting the exercise of Galen (now Columbia) stock options by the Company's personnel and the exercise of Company stock options by Galen (now Columbia) personnel and an award of damages. On June 14, 1993, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the plaintiff's complaint. That motion is still pending. The Company believes that the complaint is without merit. Damages for claims for personal injuries and medical benefit denials are usual in the Company's business. Personal injury claims are covered by insurance from the Captive Subsidiary and excess carriers, except to the extent that claimants seek punitive damages, which may not be covered by insurance if awarded. Punitive damages generally are not paid where claims are settled and generally are awarded only where there has been a willful act or omission to act. The Company does not believe that any pending actions will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition. ITEM 4.

15 17 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To the Board of Directors and Stockholders Humana Inc. We have audited the consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedules of Humana Inc. as listed in Item 14(a) of this Form 10-K. These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Humana Inc. as of December 31, 1993, and 1992, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1993, December 31, 1992, August 31, 1992, and August 31, 1991, and for the four-month period ended December 31, 1992, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion the financial statement schedules referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information required to be included therein. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, Humana Inc. adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", effective September 1, 1991, and the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", effective December 31, 1993.

                      AMENDMENT NUMBER TWO TO HUMANA INC.
                      1989 STOCK OPTION PLAN FOR EMPLOYEES

         This AMENDMENT NUMBER TWO TO HUMANA INC. 1989 STOCK OPTION PLAN FOR
EMPLOYEES ("AMENDMENT") is hereby adopted by HUMANA INC., a Delaware
corporation (the "COMPANY").

         WHEREAS, the Company maintains the Humana Inc. 1989 Stock Option Plan
for Employees (the "PLAN"); and

         WHEREAS, the Plan has been amended by Amendment Number One dated
December 7, 1992; and

         WHEREAS, the Board of Directors has determined that it is desirable to
increase the total amount of Shares for which Options may be granted under the
Plan by 7,000,000 Shares, i.e. from 6,600,000 Shares (the total current
authorized Shares) to 13,600,000 Shares; and

         WHEREAS, the Board of Directors has also determined that it is
desirable to establish a maximum number of Options which may be granted to an
individual employee from February 18, 1993 for the remaining term of the Plan
in order to enable the Plan to meet certain exceptions to the non-deductibility
rule contained in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

         NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the right to amend as set forth in Section
17 of the Plan, effective upon approval by the stockholders of the Company at
the 1994 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Plan is hereby amended as
hereinafter set forth.

         1.      The second sentence of Section 5 entitled "Stock Available for
Options" is hereby amended by substituting the number "13,600,000" for the
number "4,400,000" (currently adjusted to 6,600,000 due to a 3 for 2 stock
split on July 1, 1991) so that the sentence now reads as follows:

                 "The total amount of Shares for which Options may be granted
                 under the Plan shall not exceed 13,600,000 shares."

         2.      A new Section 19 is hereby added to the Plan as follows:

                 "19. MAXIMUM OPTIONS TO AN INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEE. Commencing on
         February 18, 1994 (the "Commencement Date") and continuing thereafter
         for the remaining term of the Plan, no individual employee may be
   2
         granted Options to purchase Shares in excess of fifteen percent (15%)
         of the sum of 2,917,459 Shares (the number of Shares available under
         the Plan on the Commencement Date) plus all increases in the total
         number of Shares authorized under the Plan over 6,600,000 (the total
         authorized Shares at the Commencement Date)."

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Amendment to be duly
executed as of the date set forth below.

                      AMENDMENT NUMBER TWO TO HUMANA INC.
               1989 STOCK OPTION PLAN FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS

         This AMENDMENT NUMBER TWO TO HUMANA INC. 1989 STOCK OPTION PLAN FOR
NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS ("AMENDMENT") is hereby adopted by HUMANA INC., a
Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY").

         WHEREAS, the Company maintains the Humana Inc. 1989 Stock Option Plan
for Non-Employee Directors (the "PLAN"); and 

        WHEREAS, the Plan has been amended by Amendment Number One dated

increase the total amount of Shares for which Options may be granted under the

         NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the right to amend as set forth in Section
17 of the Plan, effective upon approval by the stockholders of the Company at
the 1994 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Plan is hereby amended as
hereinafter set forth.

         1.      The second sentence of Section 5 entitled "Stock Available for

         2.      A new Section 17 is hereby added to the Plan as follows:

                 onetime grants which shall be made hereunder pursuant to
                 Section 3, commencing on January 3, 1994 and on the
                 first (1st) business day of each January thereafter,
                 grants of Options to purchase five thousand (5,000)
                 Shares of Company Stock will automatically be made to
                 each non-employee director of the Company who has been
                 a director continuously for at least the full calendar
                 year prior thereto. Each such automatic grant will be
                 for Non-Qualified Options at the Fair Market Value of
                 the Stock on date of grant and

   2

                 will vest and become exercisable one (1) year thereafter.
                 The term of each such Option shall be ten (10) years."

         3 .     The present Sections 17 and 18 of the Plan entitled "Amendment
to the Plan" and "Effective Date and Term of the Plan," respectively, are

                                  HUMANA INC.

           EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN - GROUP A

               CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER & CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER

                                   CORPORATE


I.       OBJECTIVES

         The objectives of the Humana Inc. Executive Management Incentive
         Compensation Plan are:

         A.      To reward executive management for their efforts in optimizing
                 the profitability and growth of Humana Inc. (the "Company")
                 consistent with the Company's mission of achieving unequaled,
                 measurable quality and productivity and with other goals of
                 the Company, its stockholders and its employees.

         B.      To provide significant opportunity for those members of
                 executive management who have major profit responsibility
                 within the Company.

II.      ELIGIBILITY AND AWARDS

         A.      Membership in this Plan will consist of the Chief Executive
                 Officer and the Chief Operating Officer of the Company (the
                 "Participants") plus any other executive officers as chosen by
                 the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the
                 Company (the "Compensation Committee"). The Compensation
                 Committee will notify Participants of their selection prior to
                 the commencement of each fiscal year.

         B.      Incentive compensation will be computed by measuring (i) the
                 Company's achievement of actual consolidated net income
                 ("Consolidated Net Income") for each fiscal year against
                 Consolidated Net Income objectives established by the
                 Compensation Committee for each fiscal year prior to the
                 commencement thereof or (ii) such other performance goals as
                 may be established by the Compensation Committee from time to
                 time and approved by the Company's shareholders in accordance
                 with Internal Revenue Service regulations promulgated under
                 Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.


                                      (1)
   2
         C.      Incentive compensation for a fiscal year shall be
                 based on the Participant's salary at the beginning of
                 such fiscal year exclusive of any bonus or fringe benefits
                 paid or accrued during such fiscal year ("Salary"). The
                 maximum incentive compensation paid for any fiscal year to any
                 Participant shall not exceed one-hundred percent (100%) of
                 Salary; the precise percentage earned shall be based upon a
                 schedule of target goals as to Consolidated Net Income
                 established pursuant to Section II (B) above. The Compensation
                 Committee may not increase this maximum but may, in its sole
                 discretion, decrease the amount of incentive compensation to
                 be paid for any fiscal year to an amount less than would be
                 payable based on the Company's actual performance for that
                 year. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
                 maximum incentive compensation paid for any fiscal year to any
                 Participant may not exceed one million ($1,000,000) dollars.

         D.      The Company's actual Consolidated Net Income for each fiscal
                 year will be determined in accordance with generally accepted
                 accounting principles; provided, however, that (a) the effects
                 of accounting policy changes from the prior fiscal year and
                 unusual non-recurring gains and losses will be excluded, and
                 (b) incentive compensation generated pursuant to incentive
                 plans of the Company, including this Plan, shall be accrued
                 and deducted as an expense for such fiscal year.

         E.      Incentive compensation is earned in addition to consideration
                 for merit and promotional increases under the Company's wage
                 and salary program. Incentive compensation will be paid to
                 Participants on or before March 15, following the close of the
                 fiscal year in respect of which it was earned.

III.     ADMINISTRATION OF THIS PLAN

         This Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee which
         shall have full power and final authority to construe, interpret and
         administer the Plan. Following the close of a fiscal year and before
         any payments are made hereunder for that fiscal year, the Compensation
         Committee must certify in writing whether and to what extent the
         performance goals have been satisfied. No member of the Compensation
         Committee shall be personally liable for damage, in the absence of bad
         faith, for any act or omission with respect to his service on the
         Committee.

IV.      ELIGIBILITY DURING FISCAL YEAR

         Subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee as set forth
         in Section II.C. of this Plan, an individual who becomes a Participant
         in this Plan due to employment, transfer or promotion during the
         fiscal year will be eligible to receive partial incentive compensation
         based upon the Participant's Salary for the period of time eligible
         and the level of achievement in relation to targeted goals for the
         entire fiscal year. In no event, however, will partial payments be
         made for any period of time of less than two months.

V.       INELIGIBILITY DURING FISCAL YEAR

         A Participant in this Plan who becomes ineligible during the fiscal
         year due to transfer or change of position shall cease to be eligible
         for further participation in this Plan on the date of transfer or
         change to the ineligible position. Subject to the discretion of the
         Compensation Committee as set forth in Section II.C. of this Plan, if
         the Participant, prior to the date of transfer or change, has been a
         Participant in the Plan for a minimum of two calendar months of the
         fiscal year, the Participant will be eligible to receive partial
         incentive compensation based upon the Participant's Salary for such
         period of time and the level of achievement in relation to targeted
         goals for the entire fiscal year.

VI.      TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT; LEAVE OF ABSENCE

         Subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee as set forth
         in Section II.C. of this Plan, a Participant who has been employed (a)
         during the entire fiscal year for which incentive compensation is to
         be paid, but whose employment is terminated, voluntarily or
         involuntarily (other than for cause) or who is granted a leave of
         absence, after the end of such fiscal year and prior to the payment
         date therefor, will be eligible to receive his/her full incentive
         compensation with respect to such fiscal year as determined in
         accordance with the provisions of this Plan, or (b) through the first
         two calendar months of any fiscal year, but whose employment is
         terminated, voluntarily or involuntarily (other than for cause) or who
         is granted a leave of absence, after the end of the first two calendar
         months of





                                      (3)
   4
         any fiscal year but prior to the end of such fiscal year, will be
         eligible to receive partial incentive compensation with respect to
         such fiscal year based upon the Participant's Salary for the period of
         time he/she was a Participant at the level of achievement in relation
         to targeted goals for the entire fiscal year. A Participant whose
         employment is terminated for cause or whose employment is terminated
         for any other reason prior to the end of the first two calendar months
         of such fiscal year shall not be eligible to receive any incentive
         compensation under this Plan other than those amounts which have been
         paid to him/her prior to the date he/she is terminated.


VII.     DEFERRED COMPENSATION

         A Participant in this Plan may irrevocably elect to defer receipt of
         any amount earned pursuant to this Plan, provided such election is
         made in writing. The terms of any deferred compensation arrangement
         must be approved in writing by the Chairman of the Compensation
         Committee and the Participant. Any amount deferred pursuant to this
         Plan will bear interest at a rate determined by the Compensation
         Committee.

         The Company shall have the right to terminate this Plan, with or
         without notice, in whole or in part, at any time.

IX.      GENERAL PROVISIONS

         A.      No person has any claim or right to be included in this Plan
                 or to be granted incentive compensation under this Plan until
                 such individual has been declared a Participant and received
                 an official written notice thereof in accordance with the
                 procedures as set forth in this Plan. In addition, all of the

                 must have been met including, but not limited to, the
                 availability of funds for incentive compensation awards and

         B.      The designation of an individual as a Participant under this
                 Plan does not in any way alter the nature of the Participant's
                 employment relationship.

                                  HUMANA INC.

           EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN - GROUP I

                                   CORPORATE

   I.    OBJECTIVES

         The objectives of the Humana Inc. Executive Management Incentive
         Compensation Plan are:

                 A.     To optimize the profitability and growth of Humana
                        Inc. (the "Corporation") consistent with Humana's
                        mission of achieving unequaled, measurable quality
                        and productivity and with other goals of the 
                        Corporation, its stockholders and its employees.

                 B.     To promote teamwork among members of corporate
                        management, foster cooperation between corporate and
                        field management, as well as to encourage excellence in
                        the performance of individual responsibilities.

                 C.     To provide significant opportunity for those members of
                        corporate management who have major profit
                        responsibility within the Corporation.

  II.    ELIGIBILITY AND AWARDS

         A.      Membership in this Plan will be approved by the Chief
                 Executive Officer. Individuals selected to participate (a
                 "Participant") will be notified in writing by the Vice
                 President of Human Resources.

         B.      Incentive compensation funds will be generated by the
                 Corporation's performance against annual objectives
                 established by the Compensation Committee. Except as
                 hereinafter provided, the attainment of such objectives shall
                 be determined by comparing them against the actual results as
                 certified by the Corporation's independent accountants. A
                 Participant's incentive compensation will be earned pursuant
                 to a schedule attached hereto of target goals established for
                 each fiscal year by the Compensation Committee (the
                 "Schedule"). The target goals in the Schedule will be based
                 upon the Corporation's approved annual business plan.

         C.      Incentive compensation shall be based on the Participant's
                 paid salary, exclusive of any bonus or fringe benefits.  The
                 maximum incentive compensation paid shall not exceed
                 one-hundred percent (100%) of such paid salary.

                                      (1)
   2

         D.      The Board of Directors of the Corporation reserves the right
                 to pass upon the quality of earnings and to adjust earnings
                 prior to calculation of incentive compensation awards if such
                 earnings are not in accordance with the assumptions included
                 in the Corporation's business plan.

         E.      Incentive compensation is earned in addition to consideration
                 for merit and promotional increases under the Corporation's
                 wage and salary program. Incentive compensation will be paid
                 to Participants on or before March 15, following the close of
                 the fiscal year.

 III.            EARNINGS PER SHARE OBJECTIVE

                 The minimum earnings per share objective shall be set by the
                 Compensation Committee so as to always require an increase in
                 earnings per share over the prior fiscal year before any
                 incentive compensation whatsoever may be earned pursuant to
                 this Plan. That is, should earnings per share decline in any
                 fiscal year, for whatever reason, there shall be no incentive
                 compensation paid for such fiscal year. In determining whether
                 earnings per share objectives have been achieved, incentive
                 compensation generated for all Incentive Plans shall be
                 accrued and deducted as an expense for the fiscal year.

  IV.            ADMINISTRATION OF THIS PlAN

                 This Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee
                 which shall have full power and final authority to construe,
                 interpret and administer the Plan. No member of the Committee
                 shall be personally liable for damage, in the absence of bad
                 faith, for any act or omission with respect to his service on
                 the Committee.

   V.            ELIGIBILITY DURING FISCAL YEAR

                 An individual who becomes a Participant in this Plan due to
                 employment, transfer or promotion during the fiscal year will
                 be eligible to receive partial incentive compensation based
                 upon the Participant's paid salary for the period of time
                 eligible and the level of achievement in relation to targeted
                 goals for the entire fiscal year. In no event, however, will
                 partial payments be made for any period of time of less than
                 two months.

  VI.            INELIGIBILITY DURING FISCAL YEAR

                 A Participant in this Plan who becomes ineligible during the
                 fiscal year due to transfer or change of position shall cease
                 to be eligible for further participation in this Plan on the
                 date of transfer or change to the ineligible position. If the
                 Participant, prior to the date of transfer or change, has been
                 a Participant in the Plan for a minimum of two calendar months
                 of the fiscal year, the Participant will be eligible to
                 receive partial incentive compensation based upon the
                 Participant's paid salary for such period of time and the
                 level of achievement in relation to targeted goals for the
                 entire fiscal year.

 VII.            TERMINATION

                 Except as specifically provided herein to the contrary, in
                 order to be eligible for incentive compensation, a Participant
                 must be an active employee at the time incentive compensation
                 is paid. Termination, voluntary or involuntary, prior to the
                 date of payment will result in the forfeiture of any incentive
                 compensation claims for any year.

VIII.            RETIREMENT

                 A Participant who has been employed during the entire fiscal
                 year for which incentive compensation is to be earned, but who
                 is retired at or after the end of such fiscal year, will be
                 eligible for full incentive compensation as determined in
                 accordance with the provisions of this Plan. If a Participant
                 retires prior to the end of the fiscal year but after April
                 30, the Participant will be eligible to receive partial
                 incentive compensation based upon the Participant's paid
                 salary for the period of time he/she was a participant at the
                 level of achievement in relation to targeted goals for the
                 entire fiscal year.

  IX.            LEAVE OF ABSENCE OR DISABILITY

                 A Participant who becomes disabled or who is granted a leave
                 of absence after April 30 may, at the discretion of the
                 Compensation Committee, and under such rules as the Committee
                 may from time to time prescribe, be eligible to receive
                 partial incentive compensation based upon the Participant's
                 paid salary for the period of time he/she was a Participant at
                 the level of achievement in relation to targeted goals for the
                 entire fiscal year.

   X.            DEATH

                 If a Participant has been employed during the entire fiscal
                 year for which incentive compensation is to be earned, but
                 dies prior to the date of payment, there will be no forfeiture
                 and the Participant's estate will be eligible to receive the
                 Participant's incentive compensation. If a Participant dies
                 after April 30 and before the end of the fiscal year, the
                 Participant's estate will be eligible to receive partial
                 incentive compensation based upon the Participant's paid
                 salary for the period of time he/she was a Participant at the
                 level of achievement in relation to targeted goals for the
                 entire fiscal year.

  XI.            DEFERRED COMPENSATION

                 A Participant in this Plan may elect to defer receipt of any
                 amount earned pursuant to this Plan, provided such election is
                 made in writing. The terms of any deferred compensation
                 arrangement must be approved in writing by the Chairman of the
                 Compensation Committee and the Participant.

 XII.            CORPORATION'S RIGHT TO MODIFY OR TERMINATE

                 The Corporation shall have the right to change, modify or
                 terminate this plan, with or without notice, in whole or in
                 part, at any time.

XIII.            GENERAL PROVISIONS

                 A.     No person has any claim or right to be included in this
                        Plan or to be granted incentive compensation under this
                        Plan until such individual has been declared a
                        Participant and received an official written notice
                        thereof in accordance with the procedures as set forth
                        in this Plan. In addition, all of the requirements and
                        applicable rules and regulations of this Plan must have
                        been met including, but not limited to, the
                        availability of funds for incentive compensation awards
                        and the determination of the extent to which targeted
                        goals have been met.

                 B.     The designation of an individual as a Participant under
                        this Plan does not in any way alter the nature of the
                        Participant's employment relationship.

                 Compensation Plan are:

                 1.     To optimize the profitability of Humana Inc., and each
                        of its facilities consistent with the mission of Humana
                        Inc.

                 2.     To promote teamwork among members of management, as
                        well as encourage excellence in the performance of
                        individual responsibilities while emphasizing the
                        improvement of quality patient care and satisfaction.

                 3.     To provide significant opportunity for those members of
                        regional management who have major responsibility
                        within the Corporation.

  II.            ELIGIBILITY

                 Membership in this plan will be approved by the President and

 III.            AWARDS

                 1.     Incentive compensation is generated by performance
                        against annual objectives established by the President
                        and the Senior Vice President/Operations of Humana Inc.
                        as described in Attachment I.

                 2.     Incentive compensation for individuals shall be based
                        on the participant's paid salary, exclusive of any
                        bonus or fringe benefits. The maximum incentive
                        compensation shall not exceed one-hundred percent
                        (100%) of paid salary.

                 3.     All participants will automatically receive
                        seventy-five percent (75%) of the available incentive
                        compensation pool generated by performance against
                        targeted objectives; the remaining twenty-five percent
                        (25%) will be placed in a fund. All or part of this
                        fund will be distributed among participants in this
                        plan on a discretionary basis, which will take into
                        account executive management's evaluation of
                        individual performance against personal objectives. Any
                        amounts remaining in this fund after all payments are
                        made shall be retained by the Corporation and the fund
                        shall terminate.

                 4.     Incentive compensation will be paid to participants
                        following distribution of the annual report to
                        shareholders.

                 5.     Incentive compensation is earned in addition to
                        consideration for merit and promotional increases under
                        the Corporation's wage and salary program.

  IV.            EVALUATION OF PERFORMANCE

                 Evaluation of performance will be based on goals for the

                 Evaluation of performance against these goals will be the
                 responsibility of the President and the Senior Vice
                 President/Operations of Humana Inc. using the attached
                 schedules. They shall establish a percentage of the incentive
                 compensation pool that is available for participants in this
                 plan based on the actual performance versus the attached
                 incentive compensation measurements.

   V.            ADMINISTRATION OF THIS PLAN

                 and administer the plan.

                 transfer or promotion during the fiscal year, will be eligible
                 to receive partial incentive compensation based upon the
                 participant's paid salary for the period of time eligible and
                 the level of achievement in relation to targeted objectives
                 for the fiscal year. In no event, however, will partial
                 payments be made for any period of time of less than two
                 months.

 VII.            INELIGIBILITY DURING FISCAL YEAR

                 A participant in this plan who becomes ineligible during the

                 to be eligible for further participation in this plan on the
                 date of transfer to the ineligible position. If the
                 participant, prior to the date of transfer, had been in an
                 eligible position for a minimum of two calendar months of the
                 fiscal year, the participant will be eligible to receive
                 partial incentive compensation based upon the participant's
                 salary for the period of time eligible and the level of
                 achievement in relation to targeted objectives for the fiscal
                 year.

                 must be an active employee at the time incentive compensation
                 is paid. Termination of employment, voluntary or involuntary,
                 prior to the date of payment will result in the forfeiture of
                 any incentive compensation claims for any year.

  IX.            RETIREMENT

                 A participant who has been employed during the entire fiscal
                 year for which incentive compensation is to be earned, but who
                 is retired at the end of the fiscal year, will be eligible for
                 full incentive compensation as determined in accordance with
                 this plan. If a participant retires prior to the end of the
                 fiscal year, but after April 30, the participant will be
                 eligible to receive partial incentive compensation based upon
                 the level of achievement in relation to targeted objectives
                 for the fiscal year.

   X.            LEAVE OF ABSENCE OR DISABILITY

                 A participant who becomes disabled or who is granted a leave
                 of absence after April 30 may, at the discretion of the
                 President and the Senior Vice President/Operations, and under
                 such rules as the President and the Senior Vice
                 President/Operations of Humana Inc. may from time to time
                 prescribe, be eligible to receive partial incentive
                 compensation based upon the level of achievement in relation
                 to targeted objectives for the fiscal year.

  XI.            DEATH

                 A participant who has been employed during the entire fiscal
                 year for which incentive compensation is to be earned, but who
                 dies prior to the date of payment, will be eligible for full
                 incentive compensation. If participant dies after April 30 and
                 before the end of the fiscal year, the participant's estate
                 will be eligible to receive partial incentive compensation
                 based upon the level of achievement in relation to targeted
                 objectives for the fiscal year.

 XII.            QUALITY OF EARNINGS

                 The Chief Executive Officer reserves the right to pass upon
                 the quality of earnings and to reduce any suspect earnings
                 prior to calculation of Incentive Compensation awards.

                        adjustments to data, whether or not done by

                        award under this plan.

                 2.     No individual employee or any other person has any
                        claim or right to be included in this plan or to be
                        granted Incentive Compensation under this plan until
                        such individual has been declared a participant and
                        received an official written notice thereof in

                        have been met and the individual performance
                        evaluations.

                 3.     The designation of an individual as a participant under
                        this plan does not alter the nature of the
                        participant's employment relationship.

                 The corporation shall have the right to change, modify, or

                                   CORPORATE



   I.            OBJECTIVES

                 The objectives of the Humana Inc. Senior Management Incentive
                 Compensation Plan are:

                              A.     To optimize the profitability and growth
                                     of Humana Inc. (the "Corporation")
                                     consistent with Humana's mission of
                                     achieving unequaled, measurable quality
                                     and productivity and with other goals of
                                     the Corporation, its stockholders and its
                                     employees.

                              B.     To promote teamwork among members of
                                     corporate management, foster cooperation
                                     between corporate and field management, as
                                     well as to encourage excellence in the
                                     performance of individual
                                     responsibilities.

                              C.     To provide significant opportunity for
                                     those members of corporate management who
                                     have major profit responsibility within the
                                     Corporation.

  II.            ELIGIBILITY AND AWARDS

                 A.       Membership in this Plan will be approved by the Chief
                          Executive Officer. Individuals selected to
                          participate (a "Participant") will be notified in
                          writing by the Vice President of Human Resources.

                 B.       Incentive compensation funds will be generated by the
                          Corporation's performance against annual objectives
                          established by the Compensation Committee. Except as
                          hereinafter provided, the attainment of such
                          objectives shall be determined by comparing them
                          against the actual results as certified by the
                          Corporation's independent accountants. A
                          Participant's incentive compensation will be earned
                          pursuant to a schedule attached hereto of target
                          goals established for each fiscal year by the
                          Compensation Committee (the "Schedule"). The target
                          goals in the Schedule will be based upon the
                          Corporation's approved annual business plan.

                 C.       A Participant's incentive compensation shall be based
                          on his/her paid salary, exclusive of any bonus or
                          fringe benefits. The maximum Incentive Compensation
                          shall not exceed sixty percent (60%) of that
                          individual's paid salary.

                 D.       The Board of Directors of the Corporation reserves
                          the right to pass upon the quality of earnings and to
                          adjust earnings prior to calculation of incentive
                          compensation awards if such earnings are not in
                          accordance with the assumptions included in the
                          Corporation's business plan.

                 E.       Incentive compensation is earned in addition to
                          consideration for merit and promotional increases
                          under the Corporation's wage and salary program.
                          Incentive compensation will be paid to Participants
                          on or before March 15, following the close of the
                          fiscal year.

 III.            EARNINGS PER SHARE OBJECTIVE

                          The minimum earnings per share objective shall be set
                          by the Compensation Committee so as to always require
                          an increase in earnings per share over the prior
                          fiscal year before any incentive compensation
                          whatsoever may be earned pursuant to this Plan. That
                          is, should earnings per share decline in any fiscal
                          year, for whatever reason, there shall be no
                          incentive compensation paid for such fiscal year. In
                          determining whether earnings per share objectives
                          have been achieved, incentive compensation generated
                          for all Incentive Plans shall be accrued and deducted
                          as an expense for the fiscal year.

  IV.            ADMINISTRATION OF THIS PLAN

                          This Plan shall be administered by the Compensation
                          Committee which shall have full power and final
                          authority to construe, interpret and administer the
                          Plan. No member of the Committee shall be personally
                          liable for damage, in the absence of bad faith, for
                          any act or omission with respect to his service on
                          the Committee.

   V.            ELIGIBILITY DURING FISCAL YEAR

                          An individual who becomes a Participant in this Plan
                          due to employment, transfer or promotion during the
                          fiscal year will be eligible to receive partial
                          incentive compensation based upon the Participant's
                          paid salary for the period of time eligible and the
                          level of achievement in relation to targeted goals
                          for the entire fiscal year. In no event, however,
                          will partial payments be made for any period of time
                          of less than two months.

  VI.            INELIGIBILITY DURING FISCAL YEAR

                 A Participant in this Plan who becomes ineligible during the
                 fiscal year due to transfer or change of position shall cease
                 to be eligible for further participation in this Plan on the
                 date of transfer or change to the ineligible position. If the
                 Participant, prior to the date of transfer or change, has been
                 a Participant in the Plan for a minimum of two calendar months
                 of the fiscal year, the Participant will be eligible to
                 receive partial incentive compensation based upon the
                 Participant's paid salary for such period of time and the
                 level of achievement in relation to targeted goals for the
                 entire fiscal year.

 VII.            TERMINATION

                 Except as specifically provided herein to the contrary, in
                 order to be eligible for incentive compensation, a Participant
                 must be an active employee at the time incentive compensation
                 is paid. Termination, voluntary or involuntary, prior to the
                 date of payment will result in the forfeiture of any incentive
                 compensation claims for any year.

VIII.            RETIREMENT

                 A Participant who has been employed during the entire fiscal
                 year for which incentive compensation is to be earned, but who
                 is retired at or after the end of such fiscal year, will be
                 eligible for full incentive compensation as determined in
                 accordance with the provisions of this Plan. If a Participant
                 retires prior to the end of the fiscal year but after April
                 30, the Participant will be eligible to receive partial
                 incentive compensation based upon the Participant's paid
                 salary for the period of time he/she was a participant at the
                 level of achievement in relation to targeted goals for the
                 entire fiscal year.

  IX.            LEAVE OF ABSENCE OR DISABILITY

                 A Participant who becomes disabled or who is granted a leave
                 of absence after April 30 may, at the discretion of the
                 Compensation Committee, and under such rules as the Committee
                 may from time to time prescribe, be eligible to receive
                 partial incentive compensation based upon the Participant's
                 paid salary for the period of time he/she was a Participant at
                 the level of achievement in relation to targeted goals for the
                 entire fiscal year.

   X.            DEATH

                 If a Participant has been employed during the entire fiscal
                 year for which incentive compensation is to be earned, but
                 dies prior to the date of payment, there will be no forfeiture
                 and the Participant's estate will be eligible to receive the
                 Participant's incentive compensation. If a Participant dies
                 after April 30 and before the end of the fiscal year, the
                 Participant's estate will be eligible to receive partial
                 incentive compensation based upon the Participant's paid
                 salary for the period of time he/she was a Participant at the
                 level of achievement in relation to targeted goals for the
                 entire fiscal year.

  XI.            DEFERRED COMPENSATION

                 A Participant in this Plan may elect to defer receipt of any
                 amount earned pursuant to this Plan, provided such election is
                 made in writing. The terms of any deferred compensation
                 arrangement must be approved in writing by the Chairman of the
                 Compensation Committee and the Participant.

 XII.            CORPORATION'S RIGHT TO MODIFY OR TERMINATE

                 The Corporation shall have the right to change, modify or
                 terminate this plan, with or without notice, in whole or in
                 part, at any time.

XIII.            GENERAL PROVISIONS

                 A.    No person has any claim or right to be included in this
                       Plan or to be granted incentive compensation under this
                       Plan until such individual has been declared a
                       Participant and received an official written notice
                       thereof in accordance with the procedures as set forth
                       in this Plan. In addition, all of the requirements and
                       applicable rules and regulations of this Plan must have
                       been met including, but not limited to, the availability
                       of funds for incentive compensation awards and the
                       determination of the extent to which targeted goals have
                       been met.

                 B.    The designation of an individual as a Participant under
                       this Plan does not in any way alter the nature of the
                       Participant's employment relationship.

Date and shall continue in effect until December 31, 1994; provided, however,
commencing on January 1, 1994 and on each January 1 thereafter, there shall
automatically be an extension of one (1) year on the then current term of this
Agreement unless either the Company or the Employee shall have given written
notice to the other at least ninety (90) days prior thereto that the term of
this Agreement shall not be so extended. Notwithstanding any such notice by the
Company not to extend, the term of this Agreement shall not expire prior to the
expiration of thirty-six (36) months after a Change in Control (as hereinafter
defined) if the Agreement is still in effect on the date of the Change in
Control.  Furthermore, if the Employee's employment with the Company shall be
terminated prior to a Change in Control, this Agreement shall automatically
expire.

     2. TERMINATION BENEFITS.

         a) If, following a Change in Control, and during the term of this
Agreement (including any extensions of such term as provided in Section 1
hereof), the Employee's employment with the Company shall be terminated, the
Employee shall be entitled to the following compensation and benefits (in
addition to any compensation and benefits provided for under any of the
Company's employee benefit plans, policies and practices or under the terms of
any other contracts):

               1) If the Employee's employment with the Company shall be
terminated, (A) by reason of the Employee's Disability or Retirement, (B) by
reason of the Employee's death or (C) by the Employee other than for Good
Reason,
   2

the Company shall pay the Employee his full base salary through the Date of
Termination at the greater of the rate in effect at the time the Change in
Control occurred or when the Notice of Termination was given (or the Date of
Termination in the case of the Employee's death), plus any bonuses or incentive
compensation which pursuant to the terms of any compensation or benefit plan
have been earned and are payable as of the Date of Termination.

               2) If the Employee's employment with the Company shall be
terminated for Cause, the Company shall pay the Employee his full base salary
through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect at the time Notice of
Termination is given and the Company shall have no further obligations to the
Employee under this Agreement.

               3) If the Employee's employment with the Company shall be
terminated, (A) by the Company other than for Cause or Disability, or (B) by
the Employee for Good Reason, then the following provisions shall apply:

                   (i) The Company shall within five (5) days after the Date of
Termination, pay the Employee his full base salary through the Date of
Termination at the greater of the rate in effect at the time the Change in
Control occurred or when the Notice of Termination was given, plus any bonuses
or incentive compensation which pursuant to the terms of any compensation or
benefit plan have been earned and are payable as of the Date of Termination,
but which have not yet been paid;

                   (ii) The Company shall within five (5) days after the Date
of Termination pay the Employee a lump sum in an amount equal to the product of
(A) ONE (1) times the amount equal to the Employee's Annual Base Salary at the
greater of the rate in effect at the time the Change in Control occurred or
when the Notice of Termination was given and (B) a fraction, the numerator of
which is the total number of years (any portion of a year shall be considered a
full year) which the Employee has been an employee of the Company, (not to
exceed 12) and the denominator of which is 12 (for this purpose the Employee
shall be deemed to have been employed by the Company during any period that the
Employee was employed by Humana Inc. or any direct or indirect subsidiary of
Humana Inc.).

                   (iii) The Company shall maintain in full force and effect
for the benefit of the Employee and the Employee's dependents and
beneficiaries, at the Company's expense until the earlier of (A) the second
anniversary of the Date of Termination, (B) the effective date of the
employee's coverage under equivalent benefits from a new employer (provided
that no such benefits shall be considered effective unless and until all
pre-existing condition limitations and waiting period restrictions have been
waived or have otherwise lapsed), or (C) the death of the Employee all life
insurance, health insurance, dental insurance, accidental death and
dismemberment insurance and disability insurance, under plans and programs in
which the Employee and/or the Employee's dependents and beneficiaries
participated immediately prior to the Date of Termination, provided

                                       2
   3
that continued participation is possible under the general terms and provisions
of such plans and programs. If participation in any such plan or program is
barred, the Company shall arrange at its own expense to provide the Employee
with benefits substantially similar to those which he was entitled to receive
under such plans and programs. At the end of the period of coverage, the
Employee shall have the right to have assigned to him at no cost and with no
apportionment of prepaid premiums, any assignable insurance policy relating
specifically to him.

                   (iv) In the event that any payment or benefit (within the
meaning of Section 280G (b) (2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code")), to the Employee or for his or her benefit paid or
payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
or otherwise in connection with, or arising out of, his or her employment with
the Company or a change in ownership or effective control of the Company or of
a substantial portion of its assets (a "Payment" or "Payments"), would be
subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest
or penalties are incurred by the Employee with respect to such excise tax (such
excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereafter
collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then the Employee will be
entitled to receive an additional payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") in an amount
such that after payment by the Employee of all taxes (including any interest or
penalties, other than interest and penalties imposed by reason of the
Executive's failure to file timely a tax return or pay taxes shown due on his
or her return, imposed with respect to such taxes and the Excise Tax),
including any Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Employee
retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon
the Payments.

                   (v) An initial determination as to whether a Gross-Up
Payment is required pursuant to this Agreement and the amount of such Gross-Up
Payment shall be made at the Company's expense by the accounting firm of
Coopers and Lybrand, or another accounting firm designated by and reasonably
acceptable to the Employee which is designated as one of the five largest
accounting firms in the United States (the "Accounting Firm"). The Accounting
Firm shall provide its determination (the "Determination"), together with
detailed supporting calculations and documentation to the Company and the
Employee within five days of the Termination Date if applicable, or such other
time as requested by the Company or by the Employee (provided the Employee
reasonably believes that any of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax)
and if the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the
Employee with respect to a Payment or Payments, it shall furnish the Employee
with an opinion reasonably acceptable to the Employee that no Excise Tax will
be imposed with respect to any such Payment or Payments. Within ten days of the
delivery of the Determination to the Employee, the Employee shall have the
right to dispute the Determination




                                       3
   4
(the "Dispute"). The Gross-Up Payment, if any, as determined pursuant to this
Paragraph 5(b) shall be paid by the Company to the Employee within five days of
the receipt of the Accounting Firm's determination. The existence of the
Dispute shall not in any way affect the Employee's right to receive the
Gross-Up Payment in accordance with the Determination. If there is no Dispute,
the Determination shall be binding, final and conclusive upon the Company and
the Employee subject to the application of the Paragraph 5(c) below.

                   (vi) As a result of the uncertainty in the application of
Sections 4999 and 280G of the Code, it is possible that a Gross-Up Payment (or
a portion thereof) will be paid which should not have been paid (an "Excess
Payment") or a Gross-Up Payment (or a portion thereof) which should have been
paid will not have been paid (an "Underpayment"). An Underpayment shall be
deemed to have occurred (i) upon notice (formal or informal) to the
Employee from any governmental taxing authority that the Employee's tax
liability (whether in respect of the Employee's current taxable year or in
respect of any prior taxable year) may be increased by reason of the imposition
of the Excise Tax on a Payment or Payments with respect to which the Company
has failed to make a sufficient Gross-Up Payment, (ii) upon a determination by
a court, (iii) by reason of determination by the Company (which shall include
the position taken by the Company, together with its consolidated group, on its
federal income tax return) or (iv) upon the resolution of the Dispute to the
Employee's satisfaction. If an Underpayment occurs, the Employee shall promptly
notify the Company and the Company shall promptly, but in any event, at least
five days prior to the date on which the applicable government taxing authority
has requested payment, pay to the Employee an additional Gross-Up Payment equal
to the amount of the Underpayment plus any interest and penalties (other than
interest and penalties imposed by reason of the Employee's failure to file
timely a tax return or pay taxes shown due on the Employee's return) imposed on
the Underpayment. An Excess payment shall be deemed to have occurred upon a
"Final Determination" (as hereinafter defined) that the Excise Tax shall not be
imposed upon a Payment or Payments (or portion thereof) with respect to which
the Employee had previously received a Gross-Up Payment. A "Final
Determination" shall be deemed to have occurred when the Employee has received
from the applicable government taxing authority a refund of taxes or other
reduction in the Employee's tax liability by reason of the Excise Payment and
upon either (x) the date a determination is made by, or an agreement is entered
into with, the applicable governmental taxing authority which finally and
conclusively binds the Employee and such taxing authority, or in the event that
a claim is brought before a court of competent jurisdiction, the date upon
which a final determination has been made by such court and either all appeals
have been taken and finally resolved or the time for all appeals has expired or
(y) the statute of limitations with respect to the Employee's applicable tax
return has expired. If an Excess Payment is determined





                                       4
   5


to have been made, the amount of the Excess Payment shall be treated as a loan
by the Company to the Employee and the Employee shall pay to the Company on
demand (but not less than 10 days after the determination) such Excess Payment
plus interest at an annual rate equal to the Applicable Federal Rate provided
for in Section 1274(d) of the Code from the date the Gross-Up Payment (to which
the Excess Payment relates) was paid to the Employee until the date of
repayment to the Company.

                   (vii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement
to the contrary, in the event that, according to the Determination, an Excise
Tax will be imposed on any Payment or Payments, the Company shall pay to the
applicable government taxing authorities as Excise Tax withholding, the amount
of the Excise Tax that the Company has actually withheld from the Payment or
Payments.

               b) The Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of
any payment or benefit provided for in Paragraph 2(a) by seeking other
employment; nor shall the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in
Paragraph 2(a) be reduced by any compensation earned by the Employee as a
result of employment or otherwise. The amount of any payment or benefit
provided for in Section 2 shall be in addition to any compensation or benefits
due the Employee under any other written agreement entered into between the
Company and the Employee unless such other agreement expressly provides
otherwise.

               c) For purposes of this Agreement the following definitions
shall apply:


                   (1) "Change in Control" shall mean any of the following
events:

                       (A) An acquisition (other than directly from the
Company) of any voting securities of the Company (the "Voting Securities") by
any "Person" (as the term Person is used for purposes of Section 13(d) or 14(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"))
immediately after which such Person has "Beneficial Ownership" (within the
meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act) of twenty percent (20%)
or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding Voting
Securities; provided, however, that in determining whether a Change in Control
has occurred, Voting Securities which are acquired in a "Non-Control
Acquisition" (as hereinafter defined) shall not constitute an acquisition which
would cause a Change in Control. A "Non-Control Acquisition" shall mean an
acquisition by (i) an employee benefit plan (or a trust forming a part thereof)
maintained by (A) the Company or (B) any corporation or other Person of which a
majority of its voting power or its equity securities or equity interest is
owned directly or indirectly by the Company (a "Subsidiary"), (ii) the Company
or any Subsidiary, or (iii) any Person in connection with a "Non-Control
Transaction" (as hereinafter defined).

                       (B) The individuals who, as of (date of this Agreement
is approved by the Board), are members of the Board (the "Incumbent Board"),
cease for any reason to constitute at least two-thirds of the Board; provided,
however,





                                       5
   6
that if the election, or nomination for election by the Company's stockholders,
of any new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the
Incumbent Board, such new director shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be
considered as a member of the Incumbent Board; provided, further, however, that
no individual shall be considered a member of the Incumbent Board if such
individual initially assumed office as a result of either an actual or
threatened "Election Contest" (as described in Rule 14a-11 promulgated under
the 1934 Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents
by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board (a "Proxy Contest") including
by reason of any agreement intended to avoid or settle any Election Contest or
Proxy Contest; or

                       (C) Approval by stockholders of the Company of:

                           (i) A merger, consolidation or reorganization
involving the Company, unless,

                               (a) The stockholders of the Company, immediately
before such merger, consolidation or reorganization, own, directly or
indirectly immediately following such merger, consolidation or reorganization,
at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the combined voting power of the
outstanding Voting Securities of the corporation resulting from such merger or
consolidation or reorganization (the "Surviving Corporation") in substantially
the same proportion as their ownership of the Voting Securities immediately
before such merger, consolidation or reorganization;

                               (b) The individuals who were members of the
Incumbent Board immediately prior to the execution of the agreement providing
for such merger, consolidation or reorganization constitute at least two-thirds
of the members of the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation; and

                               (c) No Person (other than the Company, any
subsidiary, any employee benefit plan (or any trust forming a part thereof)
maintained by the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any subsidiary, or any
Person who, immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or reorganization
had Beneficial Ownership of twenty percent (20%) or more of the then
outstanding Voting Securities) has Beneficial Ownership of twenty percent (20%)
or more of the combined voting power of the Surviving Corporation's then
outstanding Voting Securities;

                               (d) A transaction described in clauses (a)
through (c) shall herein be referred to as a "Non-Control Transaction."
                           
                           (ii)    A complete liquidation or dissolution of the
Company; or

                           (iii)   An agreement for the sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any
Person (other than a transfer to a Subsidiary).

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to
occur solely because any Person (the "Subject Person") acquired Beneficial




                                       6
   7
Ownership of more than the permitted amount of the outstanding Voting
Securities as a result of the acquisition of Voting Securities by the Company
which, by reducing the number of Voting Securities outstanding, increases the
proportional number of shares Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person,
provided that if a Change in Control would occur (but for the operation of this
sentence) as a result of the acquisition of Voting Securities by the Company,
and after such share acquisition by the Company, the Subject Person becomes the
Beneficial Owner of any additional Voting Securities which increases the
percentage of the then outstanding Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the
Subject Person, then a Change in Control shall occur.

         (2)   "Disability" shall mean a physical or mental illness which
impairs the Employee's ability to substantially perform his duties as an
Employee and as a result of which the Employee shall have been absent from his
duties with the Company on a full-time basis for six (6) consecutive months.

         (3)   "Retirement" shall mean the voluntary termination of the
Employee's employment after having attained age sixty-five (65) or such other
age as shall have been fixed in any retirement arrangement established by the
Company with the Employee's consent.

         (4)   A termination for "Cause" is a termination by reason of the
conviction of the Employee, by a Court of competent jurisdiction and following
the exhaustion of all possible appeals, of a criminal act involving the Company
or its assets.

         (5)   "Good Reason" shall mean the occurrence after a Change in
Control of any of the following events without the Employee's express written
consent:

               (i) any change in the Employee' s title, authorities,
responsibilities (including reporting responsibilities) which, in the
Employee's reasonable judgment, does not represent a promotion from his status,
title, position or responsibilities (including reporting responsibilities)
which were in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control; the assignment
to him of any duties or work responsibilities which, in his reasonable
judgment, are inconsistent with such status, title, position or work
responsibilities; or any removal of the Employee from, or failure to reappoint
or reelect him to any of such positions, except if any such changes are because
of Disability, Retirement, death or Cause;

               (ii)  a reduction by the Company in the Employee's Annual Base
Salary as in effect on the date hereof or as the same may be increased from
time to time or a failure by the Company to increase, within twelve (12) months
of the Employee's last increase in Annual Base Salary, his Annual Base Salary
by an amount not less than the greater of (A) six percent (6%) or (B) the
average percentage increase in Annual Base Salary for all employees of the
Company at the Employee's grade level during the twelve (12) month period
immediately following




                                       7
   8

the Employee's last increase in base salary; provided, however that the
Company's failure to increase the Employee's Annual Base Salary more than eight
percent (8%) annually shall not constitute Good Reason under this paragraph
under any circumstances;

               (iii)  the relocation of the Employee's office at which he is to
perform his duties, to a location more than thirty (30) miles from the location
at which the Employee performed his duties prior to the Change in Control,
except for required travel on the Company's business to an extent substantially
consistent with his business travel obligations prior to the Change in Control;

               (iv)   the adverse and substantial alteration of the nature and
quality of the office space within which the Employee performed his duties
prior to a Change in Control, including the size and location thereof, as well
as in the secretarial and administrative support provided to the Employee;

               (v)  the failure by the Company to continue in effect any
incentive, bonus or other compensation plan in which the Employee participates,
including but not limited to the Company's stock-related incentive plans
and annual incentive compensation plans, unless an equitable arrangement
(embodied in an ongoing substitute or alternative plan) has been made with
respect to such plan in connection with the Change in Control, or the failure
by the Company to continue the Employee's participation therein, or any action 
by the Company which would directly or indirectly materially reduce his
participation therein or reward opportunities thereunder;

               (vi) the failure by the Company to continue in effect any
employee benefit plan (including any medical, hospitalization, life insurance,
dental or disability benefit plan in which the Employee participated), or any
material fringe benefit or perquisite enjoyed by the Employee at the time of
the Change in Control, unless an equitable arrangement (embodied in an ongoing
substitute or alternative plan) has been made with respect to such plan in
connection with the Change in Control, or the failure by the Company to
continue the Employee's participation therein, or any action by the Company 
which would directly or indirectly materially reduce his participation therein, 
or the failure by the Company to provide the Employee with the number of paid 
vacation days to which he would be entitled on the basis of years of service 
with the Company in accordance with the Company's normal vacation policy in 
effect immediately prior to the Change in Control.

               (vii) any material breach by the Company of any provision of
this Agreement;

               (viii) the failure of the Company to obtain a satisfactory
agreement from any successor or assign of the Company to assume and agree to
perform this Agreement, as contemplated in Section 3 hereof; or

               (ix) any purported termination of the Employee's employment




                                       8
   9

which is not effected pursuant to a Notice of Termination satisfying the
requirements of Paragraph 2(c)(6) below; and for purposes of this Agreement, no
such purported termination shall be effective. The Employee's right to
terminate his employment for Good Reason shall not be affected by his
incapacity due to physical or mental illness.

         (6)   "Notice of Termination" shall mean a notice which shall indicate
the specific termination provision in this Agreement which is relied upon and
shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to
provide a basis for termination of the Employee's employment under the
provision so indicated. Any purported termination by the Company or by the
Employee shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other
party hereto in accordance with Section 5 hereof. For purposes of this
Agreement, no such purported termination shall be effective without such Notice
of Termination.

         (7)   "Date of Termination" shall mean:

               (i) if the Employee's employment is terminated for Disability,
thirty (30) days after Notice of Termination is given (provided that the
Employee shall not have returned to the performance of his duties on a full - 
time basis during such thirty (30) day period); and

               (ii)  if the Employee's employment is terminated for any other
reason, the date specified in the Notice of Termination (which in the case of a
termination pursuant to Paragraph 2(c)(4) above shall not be less than thirty
(30) days, and in the case of a termination pursuant to Paragraph 2(c)(5) above
shall not be more than sixty (60) days, after the date such Notice of
Termination is given); provided that if within thirty (30) days after any
Notice of Termination is given the party receiving such Notice of Termination
notifies the other party that a dispute exists concerning the termination, the
Date of Termination shall be the date on which the dispute is finally
determined either by mutual written agreement of the parties, or by the final
judgement, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction (the time for
appeal therefrom having expired and no appeal having been taken).
Notwithstanding the pendency of any such dispute, the Company will continue to
pay the Employee his full base salary and will continue the Employee as a
participant in all compensation, incentive, bonus, pension, profit sharing,
benefit and insurance plans in which he was participating when the notice
giving rise to the dispute was given, until the dispute is finally resolved in
accordance with this Paragraph.

         (8) "Annual Base Salary" shall mean that yearly compensation rate
established from time to time by the Company as an employee's regular
compensation for the next succeeding twelve (12) month period, payable to an
employee by the Company's payroll checks on a periodic basis.

     3.  SUCCESSORS; BINDING AGREEMENT.

         (a)   The Company will require any successor or assign (whether direct





                                       9
   10


or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly

extent the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession or
assignment had taken place. As used in this Agreement, "Company" shall mean the
Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor or assign to its business
and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement
by operation of law, or otherwise.

         (b)   This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable
by the Employee's personal and legal representatives, executors,
administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If the
Employee should die while any amounts would still be payable to him hereunder
if he had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided
herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the
Employee's devisee, legatee or other designee and if there is no such devisee,
legatee or designee, to the Employee's estate.

     4.  FEES AND EXPENSES. Following a Change in Control, the Company shall
pay all legal fees and related expenses (including the costs of experts,
evidence and counsel) incurred by the Employee as a result of (a) the
Employee's termination of employment (including all such fees and expenses, if
any, incurred in contesting or disputing any such termination of employment
whether or not such contest or dispute is resolved in the Employee's favor) or
(b) the Employee seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by
this Agreement or by any other plan or arrangement maintained by the Company
under which the Employee is or may be entitled to receive benefits or (c) the
Employee's challenge of any determination by the IRS that Payments together
with any Gross-Up Payment would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section
4999 of the Code.

     5.  NOTICE. For the purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other
communications provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or sent by certified
mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective
addresses last given by each party to the other, provided that all notices to

furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith. All notices and
communications shall be deemed to have been received on the date of delivery
thereof or on the third business day after the mailing thereof, except that
notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

     6.  MISCELLANEOUS. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived
or discharged unless such modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in
writing and signed by the Employee and such officer of the Company as may be





                                       10
   11
specifically designated by the Board. No waiver by either party hereto at any
time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any
condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party
shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at
the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreement or representations,
oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter
hereof have been made by either party which are not expressly set forth in this
Agreement.

     7.  GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and
enforced in accordance with the laws of Kentucky without giving effect to the
conflicts of laws principles thereof.

     8.  SEVERABILITY. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed
severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.

     9.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties hereto and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings

                             AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT

         This AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT is made by and between HUMANA INC.,
Louisville, Kentucky (the "COMPANY") and 
(the "EMPLOYEE").                        -------------------------------------


         WHEREAS, the Company and Employee have previously entered into an
Agreement to provide certain benefits upon termination, or in connection with a
change in responsibilities, following a change in control of the Company; and

         WHEREAS, the Company and Employee desire to amend the Agreement;

         NOW, THEREFORE, the Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

         1.        Section 2(a)(3)(ii) is deleted in its entirety and the
                   following substituted therefore:

                   "(ii) The Company shall within five (5) days after the Date
                   of Termination pay the Employee a lump sum in an amount
                   equal to the product of (A) one (1) times the amount equal
                   to the sum of (1) the Employee's Annual Base Salary at the
                   greater of the rate in effect at the time the Change in
                   Control occurred or when the Notice of Termination was given
                   plus (2) the maximum bonus or incentive compensation which
                   could have been earned by the Employee during the
                   then-current fiscal year of the Company pursuant to the
                   terms of the incentive compensation plan in which he/she
                   participates and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is
                   the total number of years (any portion of a year shall be
                   considered a full year) which the Employee has been an
                   employee of the Company (not to exceed 12), and the
                   denominator of which is 12. If there is no incentive
                   compensation plan in effect at the time the Notice of
                   Termination is given, then for purposes of this Subsection
                   it shall be assumed that the amount of incentive
                   compensation to be paid to the Employee shall be the same as
                   the amount which he/she could have earned during the last
                   year during which there was an incentive compensation plan
                   in effect."

         2.        In all other respects, the Agreement shall remain in full
                   force and effect.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Amendment to Agreement
to be executed by its duly-authorized officer and the Employee has executed
this Amendment to Agreement, each as of the day and year set forth below.

                               General Conditions


A.       The Organization agrees to comply with the law, regulations, and
         general instructions of the Health Care Financing Administration
         (HCFA) which concern the participation of health maintenance
         organizations (HMOs) and competitive medical plans (CMPs) in the
         Medicare program.

B.       As part of its ongoing quality assurance program:

         1.      The Organization agrees to comply with the requirements for
                 Peer Review Organization (PRO) review of services furnished to
                 Medicare enrollees as set forth in Subchapter D of Chapter IV,
                 Title 42, Code of Federal Regulations 417.478(a).

         2.      The Organization shall furnish to the Peer Review Organization
                 (PRO) requested on-site access to or copies of patient care
                 records and other pertinent data, and permit the PRO or its
                 subcontractor to examine its operations and records as
                 necessary for the PRO to carry out its functions under the
                 Act.

         3.      Each organization receiving payment on a risk basis will
                 maintain a written agreement with a utilization and quality
                 control Peer Review Organization with which HCFA has a

                 sections 1154(a)(4)(B) and (a)(14) of the Act, the agreement
                 must provide for the review of services (including both
                 inpatient and outpatient services) provided by the
                 organization pursuant to this contract for the purpose of
                 determining whether such

                 services meet professionally recognized standards of health
                 care, including whether appropriate services have not been
                 provided or have been provided in inappropriate settings.  The
                 agreement must also provide for review by the PRO of all
                 written complaints filed by Medicare beneficiaries or their
                 representatives about the quality of services provided by the
                 Organization.  The cost of such agreement will be paid by HCFA
                 directly to the PRO on behalf of the Organization.

         4.      Each Organization receiving payment on a risk basis must
                 ensure that all hospitalization data required on HCFA Form

                 intermediary or other HCFA designated entity.

         5.      Each Organization receiving payment on a risk basis must
                 provide the hospital with any information necessary for the
                 completion of HCFA Form 1450 (UB-82) which the hospital must
                 submit to the intermediary for any discharges after July 31,
                 1988.

For purposes of this section, Peer Review Organization (PRO) is also deemed
reference to other appropriate entitles with which HCFA has contracted pursuant
to Section 1154(a)(4)(C) of the Act.

C.       The Organization agrees to comply with:

         1.      Sections 1318(a) and (c) of the Public Health Service Act
                 which pertain to disclosure of certain financial information;

         2.      Sections 1301(c)(1) and (c)(8) of the Public Health Service
                 Act, which relate to fiscal, administrative, and management

                 period and three prior periods, when there is reasonable
                 evidence of some need for that inspection;

                          period and notifies the Organization at least 30 days
                          before the normal disposition date;

                 b.       There has been a termination, dispute, fraud, or
                          similar fault by the Organization, in which case the
                          retention may be extended to three years from the
                          date of any resulting final settlement; or

                 C.       HCFA determines that there is a reasonable
                          possibility of fraud, in which case it may reopen a
                          final settlement at any time.

                 have an enrolled membership at least one-half of which
                 consists of individuals who are not entitled to benefits under
                 Medicare or Medicaid.  HCFA may suspend enrollment or payment
                 to the Organization or terminate this contract if this
                 requirement is not met.

         2.      To submit quarterly reports of its commercial enrollment,
                 Medicaid enrollment and Medicare enrollment in the geographic
                 area defined by Article III of this contract.

0.       The Organization agrees that no marketing material may be distributed

         enroll or enrolled in the organization under this contract unless at
         least 45 days before the distribution, the Organization has submitted
         the material to HCFA for review, and HCFA has not disapproved the
         distribution of the material.

P.       The Organization agrees to allow eligible beneficiaries to enroll

         HCFA through regulations.  The Organization agrees to accept

              (Plan # H1036 Contract Period 01/01/92 - 12/31/92)

Q.       Upon termination of this contract, the Organization agrees:

         1.      To give its Medicare enrollees a written notice of the
                 termination at least 60 days before the termination date;

         2.      To be responsible for the cost of the notice;

         3.      To submit a copy of the notice to HCFA for review;

         4.      If the Organization is a risk contractor, to include with the
                 required notice a written description of alternatives
                 available for obtaining Medicare services after termination.

R.       The Organization hereby provides assurances to HCFA that in the event
         the Organization ceases to provide items and services under this
         contract, the Organization shall provide or arrange for supplemental
         coverage of benefits under Title XVIII of the Act related to a
         pre-existing condition with respect to any exclusion period, to all
         individuals enrolled with the entity who receive benefits under Title
         XVIII, for the lesser of six months or the duration of such period.

S.       The Organization agrees to review and act upon requests for
         reconsideration from its Medicare enrollees within 60 days of receipt
         of the reconsideration request for the provision or payment of
         services or items which were initially denied.  In those cases where
         the Organization will continue to deny services or items or payment
         for services or items, in whole or in part, the Organization must
         forward the beneficiaries' reconsideration requests along with the
         Organization's written explanation and documentation to HCFA or its
         contractor within 60 days of receipt of the reconsideration request.

         In those cases where HCFA or its contractor determines that the
         Organization should provide services or items previously denied, or
         HCFA or its contractor determines that the Organization has financial
         liability for services or items received, the Organization must pay
         for or provide those services to the beneficiary within 60 days of the
         receipt of HCFA's or its contractor's determination.

         Services previously denied will be arranged by the Organization in a
         manner consistent with services normally provided by the
         Organization.

            (Plan # H1036 Contract Period  01/01/92  -  12/31/92)


T.       If any Medicare beneficiaries residing in the Organization's service
         area are members of another risk-based contracting organization which
         nonrenews or terminates its contract, your Organization (if under a
         risk-based contract) agrees to hold a special 30-day terminations open
         enrollment period to enroll those Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in
         the other risk-contracting organization at the time of termination or
         nonrenewal of the other organization's contract.

         This requirement will apply only to those Medicare beneficiaries
         enrolled in the other risk-sharing contracting organization who reside
         in your Organization's service area.  The terminations open enrollment
         period must be conducted during the period designated by HCFA.  You
         will be given notice 30 days before the start of the open enrollment
         period.

         This does not preclude an organization from requesting a
         capacity waiver as described at 42 CFR 417.426(b)(1).

U.       As part of advance directives requirements, the Organization agrees:

         1.      To inform all Medicare enrollees at the time of enrollment of
                 their right (under State law whether statutory or recognized
                 by the courts of the State) to accept or refuse treatment and
                 to execute an advance directive, such as living wills or
                 durable powers of attorney, and of the Organization's written
                 policies on implementation of that right;

         2.      To document in the individual's medical records whether or not
                 an individual has executed an advance directive;

         3.      To not condition treatment or otherwise discriminate on the
                 basis of whether an individual has executed an advance
                 directive;

         4.      To comply with State law (whether statutory or recognized by
                 the courts of the State) on advance directives; and

         5.      To provide (individually or with others) for education for
                 staff and the community on advance directives.

V.       The Organization, if it has a risk contract, agrees not to employ or
         contract with, directly or indirectly, entities or individuals
         excluded from participation in Medicare or Medicaid under sections
         1128 or 1128A of the Act, for the provision of health care,
         utilization review, medical social work, or administrative services.

                                   Article V

                     Conditions For Payment on a Risk Basis

The following conditions apply to the Organization if it selected, in Article
II of this contract, to be paid on a risk basis method under section 1876(g) of
the Act, or if it selected to be paid on a risk basis and paid on a reasonable
cost basis for unconverted, current non-risk Medicare enrollees:

A.       Except as provided for in Article V.(D)., HCFA shall make payment
         under this contract for services rendered to Medicare enrollees on a
         risk basis as provided in regulations.

B.       The Organization agrees to maintain, and make available to HCFA upon
         request, books, records, documents, and other evidence of accounting
         procedures and practices that -

         1.   Are sufficient to -

              a.       Establish component rates of the adjusted community
                       rate (ACR) for determining additional and
                       supplementary benefits; and
              
              b.       Determine the rates utilized in setting premiums for
                       State insurance agency purposes.
              
         2.   Include at least any records or financial reports filed with
              other Federal agencies or State authorities.

C.       The Organization has the right to appeal a determination that the
         Organization's ACR computation is not acceptable, pursuant to the
         provisions of 42 CFR 417.594(e)(2).

D.       To the extent that the Organization's members are unconverted, current
         non-risk Medicare enrollees, the Organization agrees to fully comply
         with the conditions in Article VI.

E.       The Organization agrees, as required by section 1876(g)(2) of the Act,
         that if the ACR (as reduced for the actuarial value of the coinsurance
         and deductibles) is less than the average



   12
Page 12


              (Plan # H1036 Contract Period 01/01/92 - 12/31/92)

         of the per capita rates of payment to be made under section 1876(a)(1)
         for Medicare members enrolled under the risk basis method of payment,
         the Organization shall provide its Medicare members with additional
         benefits described at section 1876(g)(3), selected by the
         Organization, and which HCFA finds are at least equal in value to the
         difference between the average per capita payment and the adjusted
         community rate (as so reduced).  This condition shall not apply to an
         organization which agrees to accept a lesser payment to the extent
         that there is no longer a difference between the average per capita
         payment and the adjusted community rate (as so reduced).

F.       The Organization agrees -

         1.      To publicly offer and provide at least the level of Medicare
                 covered benefits approved in the ACR.  The Organization
                 may choose to offer more services or to impose lower premiums
                 or other charges (in the form of deductibles or coinsurance)
                 than approved in the ACR.

                 However, such complimentary services or waived premiums or
                 other charges must be approved in advance by HCFA and remain
                 in effect throughout the contract period.

                 The only mid-year changes that are permitted are those which
                 are entirely advantageous to Medicare enrollees.  Premiums and
                 copayments may be reduced at any time during the year, but
                 once they are reduced, they cannot be increased later on
                 during the same contract period.  Benefits for which there is
                 no charge may be added at any time during the contract period,
                 but also must remain in place for the remainder of the
                 contract period.  HCFA should be advised of any expanded
                 benefits or decreases in premiums or copayments arising
                 in the middle of a contract period.

                 Waived premiums and complimentary services provided solely to
                 members of an employer group are governed by the
                 Organization's contract with the employer.

         2.      Nothing in this article may be interpreted as a waiver or
                 compromise of any appeal rights to which the Organization may
                 be entitled under Title XVIII of the Act and implementing
                 regulations.

                                   of Payment

The following conditions apply to the Organization if it selected in Article II

A.       HCFA shall make payment under this contract for services rendered to
         Medicare enrollees on a reasonable cost basis as provided in
         regulations.

B.       The Organization agrees to maintain books, records, documents, and
         other evidence of accounting procedures and practices that -

              b.       Properly reflect all direct and indirect costs
                       claimed to have been incurred under the contract; and
              
         2.   Include at least records of the following:

              a.       Ownership, organization, and operation of the
                       Organization's financial, medical and other
                       recordkeeping systems;
              
              b.       Financial statements for the current contract period
                       and three prior periods;
              
              c.       Federal income tax or information returns for the
                       current contract period and three prior periods;
              
              d.       Assets acquisition, lease, sale, or other action;
              
              e.       Agreements, contracts, and subcontracts;
              
              f.       Franchise, marketing, and management agreements;
              
              g.       Schedules of charges for the Organization's fee-

                 j.       Cash flow statements;

                 k.       Any financial reports filed with other Federal
                          programs or State authorities.

C.       The Organization has the right to appeal any final determination of
         costs pursuant to the reimbursement appeals procedures contained in
         the regulations at 42 CFR Part 405, Subpart R.

D.       The Organization shall make available for the purposes specified in
         paragraphs 1-4 of section D of Article IV, its premises, physical
         facilities, and equipment, its records relating to its Medicare
         enrollees, the records specified in 42 CFR 417.480, and any additional
         relevant information that HCFA may require.

                 accounting period, an independently certified financial
                 statement of its per capita incurred cost, based on the types
                 of components of expenses otherwise reimbursable under Title
                 XVIII, for providing services described in section 1876(a)(1),
                 including its method of allocating costs between individuals
                 enrolled under this section and other individuals enrolled
                 with the Organization, such statements to be provided in
                 accordance with accounting procedures prescribed by HCFA;

         2.      Failure to report such information may be deemed evidence of
                 likely overpayment upon which basis collection action may be
                 taken;

         3.      The required financial statements will be consolidated to
                 include an accounting for the costs of entities related to the
                 Organization by common ownership or control;

         4.      Allowable costs for a related organization may not include
                 costs for the types of expense otherwise reimbursable under
                 Title XVIII, in excess of an amount which would be determined
                 to be reasonable in accordance with regulations;

         5.      In any case in which compensation is paid substantially in
                 excess of what is normally paid for similar services by
                 similar practitioners, such compensation may, as appropriate,
                 be considered a distribution of profits.

A.       FACILITIES NONDISCRIMINATION CLAUSE

         The following provisions are applicable to and shall be included in
         all leases of real estate entered into for the administration of this
         agreement:

         "As used in this clause, the term 'Facility' means stores, shops,
         restaurants, cafeterias, restrooms, and any other facility of a public
         nature in the building in which the space covered by this lease is
         located.



   16
Page 16


               (Plan # H1036 Contract Period 01/01/92 - 12/31/92)


         "The lessor agrees that he will not discriminate by segregation or
         otherwise against any person or persons because of race, color,
         religion, sex, or national origin in furnishing or by refusing to
         furnish, to such person or persons, the use of any facility including
         any or all services, privileges, accommodations, and activities
         provided thereby.  Nothing herein shall require the furnishing to the
         general public of the use of any facility customarily furnished by the
         lessor solely to tenants, their employees, customers, patients,
         clients, guests and invitees.

         "It is agreed that the lessor's noncompliance with the provisions of
         this clause shall constitute a material breach of this lease.  In the
         event of such noncompliance, the lessee may take appropriate action to
         enforce compliance, may terminate this lease or may pursue such other
         remedies as may be provided by law.  In the event of termination, the
         lessor shall be liable for all excess costs of the lessee in acquiring
         substitute space.  Substitute space will be obtained in as close
         proximity to the lessor's building as is feasible and moving costs
         will be limited to the actual expenses thereof as incurred.

         "The lessor agrees to include, or to require the inclusion of the
         foregoing provisions of this clause (with the terms "lessor" and
         "lessee" appropriately modified) in every agreement or concession
         pursuant to which any person other than the lessor operates or has the
         right to operate any facility.  Nothing herein contained, however,
         shall be deemed to require the lessor to include or require the
         inclusion of the foregoing provisions of this clause in any existing
         agreement or concession arrangement or one in which the contracting
         party other than the lessor has the unilateral right to renew or
         extend the agreement or arrangement, until the expiration of the
         existing agreement or arrangement and the unilateral right to renew
         or extend.  The lessor also agrees that it will take any and all
         lawful actions as expeditiously as possible with respect to any such
         agreement as the contracting agency may direct to enforce this clause,
         including but not limited to termination of the agreement or
         concessions and institution of court action."

B.       DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

         The following clause shall be included in all subcontracts entered
         into either for the performance of functions required for the
         administration of this agreement or where a subcontractor, his agents,
         officers or employees might



   17
Page 17


               (Plan # H1036 Contract Period 01/01/92 - 12/31/92)


         reasonably be expected to have access to information within the
         purview of section 1106 of the Social Security Act and regulations
         prescribed pursuant thereto:

         "The contractor agrees to establish and maintain procedures and
         controls so that no information contained in its records or obtained
         from HCFA or from others in carrying out the terms of this subcontract
         shall be used by or disclosed by it, its agents, officers, or
         employees except as provided in said section 1106 of the Social
         Security Act and regulations prescribed thereunder."

C.       AUTOMATIC TERMINATION OF SUBCONTRACT CLAUSE

         The following provision are applicable to and shall be included in all
         subcontracts entered into hereafter (except for the purchase of items
         and equipment), including leases of real property which exceed the
         term of this agreement except where HCFA agrees to its omission.
         Failure of the Contractor to include the clause in such subcontract
         without the written agreement of HCFA to its omission, shall make the
         related costs incurred after the effective date of the nonrenewal or
         termination, unallowable.

         Notwithstanding the following, if the Contractor wishes to continue
         the subcontract relative to its own business after the contract
         between HCFA and the Contractor has been terminated or nonrenewed, it
         may do so provided it assures HCFA in writing that HCFA's obligations
         will terminate at the time the Medicare contract terminates or is
         nonrenewed subject to the termination cost provisions provided for in
         the contract.

         The clause is as follows: "In the event the Medicare contract between
         HCFA and (Name of Contractor) is terminated or nonrenewed, the
         contract between (Name of Contractor) and (Name of Firm) will be
         terminated unless HCFA and (Name of Contractor) agree to the contrary.
         Such termination shall be accomplished by delivery of written notice
         to (Name of Firm) of the date upon which said termination will become
         effective."

D.       PROHIBITION AGAINST USE OF HCFA FUNDS TO INFLUENCE
         LEGISLATION OR APPROPRIATIONS

         The following provision is applicable to this agreement:

         No part of any funds under this agreement shall be used to pay the
         salaries or expenses of any Contractor, or any agent acting for the
         Contractor, to engage in any activity designed to influence
         legislation or appropriations pending before the Congress.

         Lobbying costs are defined in and are unallowable in accordance with
         Federal Acquisition Regulation 31-205-22.

E.       LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IN SUBCONTRACTS

         The following provisions are applicable to and shall be included in
         any subcontract entered into or renewed under this agreement
         containing a liquidated damages provision which related solely to
         Medicare:

         The Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA), after consultation
         with the Contractor, shall have the right to determine that the
         specified levels of performance have not been attained by the
         subcontractor.  In such event, HCFA may direct the Contractor to
         notify the subcontractor of HCFA's determination that liquidated
         damages apply and to set-off the liquidated damages against the
         subcontractor.  HCFA shall reimburse the Contractor for all reasonable
         costs relating to this activity and shall honor any judgement or award
         rendered against the Contractor directly resulting from the
         enforcement of such provision as directed by HCFA.  Failure of the
         Contractor to timely comply with such direction, shall constitute
         cause for the application of any and all administrative, statutory,
         and judicial remedies which may be available to HCFA pursuant to this
         agreement, including but not limited to, offsetting an amount
         equivalent to the amount of such unenforced liquidated damages.  In
         the event that such offset is made, the Contractor shall be obligated
         to continue to perform all terms and conditions of this agreement
         without additional payment from HCFA attributable to such offset
         amounts.

Each Bank is hereby authorized to record the date, Type and amount of each Revolving Credit Loan made or converted by such Bank, and the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal thereof, and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period with respect thereto, on the schedule annexed to and constituting a part of its Revolving Credit Note, and any such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded; provided, however, that the failure to make any such recordation shall not affect the obligations of the Company hereunder or under any Revolving Credit Note. Each Revolving Credit Note shall (x) be dated the Closing Date, (y) be stated to mature on the Termination Date, and (z) bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding at the applicable interest rate per annum determined as provided in subsection 2.7. (c) The Company may borrow under the Commitments during the Commitment Period on any Working Day if the borrowing is of Eurodollar Loans or on any Business Day if the borrowing is of Alternate Base Rate Loans; provided that the Company shall give the Agent irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Agent (i) prior to 11:30 A.M., New York City time three 22 18 Working Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and (ii) prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans), specifying (A) the amount to be borrowed, (B) the requested Borrowing Date, (C) whether the borrowing is to be of Eurodollar Loans, Alternate Base Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, and (D) if the borrowing is to be entirely or partly of Eurodollar Loans, the length of the Interest Period therefor. Each borrowing pursuant to the Commitments shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lesser of (i) $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) the then Available Commitments. Upon receipt of such notice from the Company, the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank thereof. Each Bank will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Agent for the account of the Company at the office of the Agent set forth in subsection 10.2 prior to 12:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Company in funds immediately available to the Agent. The proceeds of all such Revolving Credit Loans will then be made available to the Company by the Agent at such office of the Agent by crediting the account of the Company on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Agent by the Banks. 2.2 CAF Loans and CAF Loan Notes. (a) The Company may borrow CAF Loans from time to time on any Business Day (in the case of CAF Loans made pursuant to a Fixed Rate Auction Advance Request) or any Working Day (in the case of CAF Loans made pursuant to a LIBOR Auction Advance Request) during the period from the Closing Date until the date occurring 14 days prior to the Termination Date in the manner set forth in this subsection 2.2 and in amounts such that the Aggregate Outstanding Extensions of Credit of all Banks at any time shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments at such time. (b) (i) The Company shall request CAF Loans by delivering a CAF Loan Request to the CAF Loan Agent, not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) four Working Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date (in the case of a LIBOR Auction Advance Request), and not later than 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) one Business Day prior to the proposed Borrowing Date (in the case of a Fixed Rate Auction Advance Request). Each CAF Loan Request may solicit bids for CAF Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof and for not more than three alternative maturity dates for such CAF Loans. The maturity date for each CAF Loan shall be not less than 7 days nor more than 360 days after the Borrowing Date therefor (and in any event not after the Termination Date). The CAF Loan Agent shall promptly notify each CAF Loan Bank by facsimile transmission of the contents of each CAF Loan Request received by it. (ii) In the case of a LIBOR Auction Advance Request, upon receipt of notice from the CAF Loan Agent of the contents of 23 19 such CAF Loan Request, any CAF Loan Bank that elects, in its sole discretion, to do so, shall irrevocably offer to make one or more CAF Loans at the Applicable LIBOR Auction Advance Rate plus or minus a margin for each such CAF Loan determined by such CAF Loan Bank in its sole discretion. Any such irrevocable offer shall be made by delivering a CAF Loan Offer to the CAF Loan Agent, before 9:30 A.M., New York City time, three Working Days before the proposed Borrowing Date, setting forth the maximum amount of CAF Loans for each maturity date, and the aggregate maximum amount for all maturity dates, which such Bank would be willing to make (which amounts may, subject to subsection 2.2(a), exceed such CAF Loan Bank's Commitment) and the margin above the Applicable LIBOR Auction Advance Rate at which such CAF Loan Bank is willing to make each such CAF Loan; the CAF Loan Agent shall advise the Company before 10:00 A.M., New York City time, three Working Days before the proposed Borrowing Date of the contents of each such CAF Loan Offer received by it. If the CAF Loan Agent in its capacity as a CAF Loan Bank shall, in its sole discretion, elect to make any such offer, it shall advise the Company of the contents of its CAF Loan Offer before 9:00 A.M., New York City time, three Working Days before the proposed Borrowing Date. (iii) In the case of a Fixed Rate Auction Advance Request, upon receipt of notice from the Agent of the contents of such CAF Loan Request, any CAF Loan Bank that elects, in its sole discretion, to do so, shall irrevocably offer to make one or more CAF Loans at a rate or rates of interest for each such CAF Loan determined by such CAF Loan Bank in its sole discretion. Any such irrevocable offer shall be made by delivering a CAF Loan Offer to the CAF Loan Agent, before 9:30 A.M., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date, setting forth the maximum amount of CAF Loans for each maturity date, and the aggregate maximum amount for all maturity dates, which such CAF Loan Bank would be willing to make (which amounts may, subject to subsection 2.2 (a), exceed such CAF Loan Bank's Commitment) and the rate or rates of interest at which such CAF Loan Bank is willing to make each such CAF Loan; the CAF Loan Agent shall advise the Company before 10:15 A.M., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date of the contents of each such CAF Loan Offer received by it. If the CAF Loan Agent or any affiliate thereof in its capacity as a CAF Loan Bank shall, in its sole discretion, elect to make any such offer, it shall advise the Company of the contents of its CAF Loan Offer before 9:15 A.M., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date. (iv) The Company shall before 11:00 A.M., New York City time, three Working Days before the proposed Borrowing Date (in the case of CAF Loans requested by a LIBOR Auction Advance Request) and before 10:30 A.M., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date (in the case of CAF Loans requested by a Fixed Rate Auction Advance Request) either, in its absolute discretion: 24 20 (A) cancel such CAF Loan Request by giving the CAF Loan Agent telephone notice to that effect, or (B) accept one or more of the offers made by any CAF Loan Bank or CAF Loan Banks pursuant to clause (ii) or clause (iii) above, as the case may be, by giving telephone notice to the CAF Loan Agent (immediately confirmed by delivery to the CAF Loan Agent of a CAF Loan Confirmation) of the amount of CAF Loans for each relevant maturity date to be made by each CAF Loan Bank (which amount for each such maturity date shall be equal to or less than the maximum amount for such maturity date specified in the CAF Loan offer of such CAF Loan Bank, and for all maturity dates included in such CAF Loan Offer shall be equal to or less than the aggregate maximum amount specified in such CAF Loan offer for all such maturity dates) and reject any remaining offers made by CAF Loan Banks pursuant to clause (ii) or clause (iii) above, as the case may be; provided, however, that (x) the Company may not accept offers for CAF Loans for any maturity date in an aggregate principal amount in excess of the maximum principal amount requested in the related CAF Loan Request, (y) if the Company accepts any of such offers, it must accept offers strictly based upon pricing for such relevant maturity date and no other criteria whatsoever and (z) if two or more CAF Loan Banks submit offers for any maturity date at identical pricing and the Company accepts any of such offers but does not wish to borrow the total amount offered by such CAF Loan Banks with such identical pricing, the Company shall accept offers from all of such CAF Loan Banks in amounts allocated among them pro rata according to the amounts offered by such CAF Loan Banks (or as nearly pro rata as shall be practicable after giving effect to the requirement that CAF Loans made by a CAF Loan Bank on a Borrowing Date for each relevant maturity date shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof provided that if the number of CAF Loan Banks that submit offers for any maturity date at identical pricing is such that, after the Company accepts such offers pro rata in accordance with the foregoing, the CAF Loans to be made by such CAF Loan Banks would be less then $5,000,000 principal amount, the number of such CAF Loan Banks shall be reduced by the CAF Loan Agent by lot until the CAF Loans to be made by such remaining CAF Loan Banks would be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof). (v) If the Company notifies the CAF Loan Agent that a CAF Loan Request is cancelled pursuant to clause (iv)(A) above, the CAF Loan Agent shall give prompt, but in no event more then one hour later, telephone notice thereof to the CAF Loan Banks, and the CAF Loans requested thereby shall not be made. 25 21 (vi) If the Company accepts pursuant to clause (iv)(B) above one or more of the offers made by any CAF Loan Bank or CAF Loan Banks, the CAF Loan Agent shall promptly, but in no event more than one hour later, notify each CAF Loan Bank which has made such an offer of the aggregate amount of such CAF Loans to be made on such Borrowing Date for each maturity date and of the acceptance or rejection of any offers to make such CAF Loans made by such CAF Loan Bank. Each CAF Loan Bank which is to make a CAF Loan shall, before 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Borrowing Date specified in the CAF Loan Request applicable thereto, make available to the Agent at its office set forth in subsection 10.2 the amount of CAF Loans to be made by such CAF Loan Bank, in immediately available funds. The Agent will make such funds available to the Company as soon as practicable on such date at the Agent's aforesaid address. As soon as practicable after each Borrowing Date, the Agent shall notify each Bank of the aggregate amount of CAF Loans advanced on such Borrowing Date and the respective maturity dates thereof. (c) Within the limits and on the conditions set forth in this subsection 2.2, the Company may from time to time borrow under this subsection 2.2, repay pursuant to paragraph (d) below, and reborrow under this subsection 2.2. (d) The Company shall repay to the Agent for the account of each CAF Loan Bank which has made a CAF Loan (or the CAF Loan Assignee in respect thereof, as the case may be) on the maturity date of each CAF Loan (such maturity date being that specified by the Company for repayment of such CAF Loan in the related CAF Loan Request) the then unpaid principal amount of such CAF Loan. The Company shall not have the right to prepay any principal amount of any CAF Loan. (e) The Company shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each CAF Loan from the Borrowing Date to the stated maturity date thereof, at the rate of interest determined pursuant to paragraph (b) above (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for actual days elapsed), payable on the interest payment date or dates specified by the Company for such CAF Loan in the related CAF Loan Request as provided in the CAF Loan Note evidencing such CAF Loan. If all or a portion of the principal amount of any CAF Loan or any interest or other amount payable hereunder in respect thereof shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall, without limiting any rights of any Bank under this Agreement, bear interest from the date on which such payment was due at a rate per annum which is 2% above the rate which would otherwise be applicable pursuant to the CAF Loan Note evidencing such CAF Loan until the scheduled maturity date with respect thereto as set forth in the CAF Loan Note evidencing such CAF Loan, and for each day thereafter at rate per annum which is 2% above the Alternate Base Rate until paid in full (as well after as before judgment). 26 22 (f) The CAF Loans made by each CAF Loan Bank shall be evidenced initially by a promissory note of the Company, substantially in the form of Exhibit B with appropriate insertions (a "Grid CAF Loan Note"), payable to the order of such CAF Loan Bank and representing the obligation of the Company to pay the unpaid principal amount of all CAF Loans made by such CAF Loan Bank, with interest on the unpaid principal amount from time to time outstanding of each CAF Loan evidenced thereby as prescribed in subsection 2.2 (e). Each CAF Loan Bank is hereby authorized to record the date and amount of each CAF Loan made by such Bank, the maturity date thereof, the date and amount of each payment of principal thereof and the interest rate with respect thereto on the schedule annexed to and constituting part of its Grid CAF Loan Note, and any such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded; provided, however, that the failure to make any such recordation shall not affect the obligations of the Company hereunder or under any Grid CAF Loan Note. Each Grid CAF Loan Note shall be dated the Closing Date and each CAF Loan evidenced thereby shall bear interest for the period from and including the Borrowing Date thereof on the unpaid principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding at the applicable rate per annum determined as provided in, and such interest shall be payable as specified in, subsection 2.2(e). (g) Amounts advanced by a CAF Loan Bank pursuant to this subsection 2.2 on a Borrowing Date which have the same maturity date and interest rate shall be deemed to constitute one CAF Loan so long as such amounts remain evidenced by the Grid CAF Loan Note of such CAF Loan Bank; any such CAF Loan Bank that wishes such amounts to constitute more than one CAF Loan and to have each such CAF Loan evidenced by a separate promissory note payable to such CAF Loan Bank, substantially in the form of Exhibit C with appropriate insertions as to Borrowing Date, principal amount and interest rate (an "Individual CAF Loan Note"), shall notify the CAF Loan Agent and the Company by facsimile transmission of the respective principal amounts of the CAF Loans (which principal amounts shall not be less than $5,000,000 for any of such CAF Loans) to be evidenced by each such Individual CAF Loan Note. Not later than three Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Company shall deliver to such CAF Loan Bank an Individual CAF Loan Note payable to the order of such CAF Loan Bank in the principal amount of each such CAF Loan and otherwise conforming to the requirements of this Agreement. Upon receipt of such Individual CAF Loan Note, such CAF Loan Bank shall endorse on the schedule attached to its Grid CAF Loan Note the transfer of such CAF Loan from Grid CAF Loan Note to such Individual CAF Loan Note. 2.3 Fees. (a) The Company agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of each Bank, a facility fee computed at the rate of .175% per annum on the average daily amount of the Commitment of such Bank during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, 27 23 September and December and on any earlier date on which the Commitments shall terminate as provided herein and the Revolving Credit Loans shall have been repaid in full, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date hereof. (b) The Company agrees to pay to the Agent the other fees in the amounts, and on the dates, agreed to by the Company and the Agent in the fee letter, dated November 29, 1993, between the Agent and the Company. 2.4 Termination, Reduction or Extension of Commitments. (a) The Company shall have the right, upon not less than five Business Days' notice to the Agent, to terminate the Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce ratably the amount of the Commitments, provided that no such termination or reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Loans made on the effective date thereof, the then outstanding principal amount of the Loans, when added to the then L/C Obligations, would exceed the amount of the Commitments then in effect. Any such reduction shall be in an amount of $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and shall reduce permanently the amount of the Commitments then in effect. (b) The Company may request, in a notice given as herein provided to the Agent and each of the Banks not less than 90 days and not more than 120 days prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, that the Termination Date be extended, which notice shall specify that the requested extension is to be effective (the "Effective Date") on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, and that the new Termination Date to be in effect following such extension (the "Requested Termination Date") is to be the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date. Each Bank shall, not later than 30 days following such notice, notify the Company and the Agent of its election to extend or not to extend the Termination Date with respect to its Commitment. The Company may, not later than 15 days following such notice from the Banks, revoke its request to extend the Termination Date. If the Required Banks elect to extend the Termination Date with respect to their Commitments and the Company has not revoked its request to extend the Termination Date, then, subject to the provisions of this subsection 2.4, the Termination Date shall be extended for two years. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any notice by any Bank of its willingness to extend the Termination Date with respect to its Commitment shall be revocable by such Bank in its sole and absolute discretion at any time prior to the Effective Date. Any Bank which shall not notify the Company and the Agent of its election to extend the Termination Date within 30 days following such notice shall be deemed to have elected not to extend the Termination Date with respect to its Commitment. 28 24 (c) Provided that the Required Banks shall have elected to extend their Commitments as provided in this subsection 2.4, if any Bank shall timely notify the Company and the Agent pursuant to subsection 2.4 (b) of its election not to extend its Commitment or its revocation of any extension, or shall be deemed to have elected not to extend its Commitments, (any such Bank being called a "Terminating Bank"), then the remaining Banks (the "Continuing Banks") or any of them shall have the right (but not the obligation), upon notice to the Company and the Agent not later than 30 Business Days preceding the Effective Date to increase their Commitments, by an amount up to, in the aggregate, the Commitments of any Terminating Banks. If, in the aggregate, any of the Remaining Banks elect to increase their Commitments by an amount in excess of the aggregate Commitments of the Terminating Banks, then the Commitment of each such Bank shall be increased pro rata on the relative basis of the amount of increase it so elected such that the aggregate amount of all such increases shall be equal to the aggregate Commitments of the Terminating Banks. Each increase in the Commitment of a Continuing Bank shall be evidenced by a written instrument executed by such Continuing Bank, the Company and the Agent, and shall take effect on the Effective Date. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any notice by any Continuing Bank of its willingness to increase its Commitment as provided in this subsection 2.4(c) shall be revocable by such Bank in its sole and absolute discretion at any time prior to the Effective Date. (d) In the event the aggregate Commitments of any Terminating Banks shall exceed the aggregate amount by which the Continuing Banks have agreed to increase their Commitments pursuant to subsection 2.4(c), the Company may, with the approval of the Agent, designate one or more other banking institutions willing to extend Commitments until the Requested Termination Date in an aggregate amount not greater than such excess. Any such banking institution (an "Additional Bank") shall, on the Effective Date, execute and deliver to the Company and the Agent a Commitment Transfer Supplement, satisfactory to the Company and the Agent, setting forth the amount of such Additional Bank's Commitment and containing its agreement to become, and to perform all the obligations of, a Bank hereunder, and the Commitment of such Additional Bank shall become effective on the Effective Date. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any notice by any Additional Bank of its willingness to become a Bank hereunder shall be revocable by such Additional Bank in its sole and absolute discretion at any time prior to the Effective Date. (e) The Company shall deliver to each Continuing Bank and each Additional Bank, on the Effective Date, in exchange for the Notes held by such Bank, new Notes, maturing on the Requested Termination Date, in the principal amount of such Bank's Commitment after giving effect to the adjustments made pursuant to this subsection 2.4. 29 25 (f) If the Required Banks shall have elected to extend their Commitments as provided in this subsection 2.4 and the Company has not revoked its request to extend the Termination Date as provided in this subsection 2.4, then (i) the Commitments of the Continuing Banks and any Additional Banks shall continue until the Requested Termination Date specified in the notice from the Company, and as to such Banks the term "Termination Date", as used herein shall mean such Requested Termination Date; (ii) the Commitments of any Terminating Bank shall continue until the Effective Date, and shall then terminate (as to any Terminating Bank, the term "Termination Date", as used herein, shall mean the Effective Date) upon the payment in full of the outstanding principal amount, together with accrued interest to such date and any other amounts owed by the Company to such Terminating Bank pursuant to any Loan Document of the Loans of such Terminating Bank; and (iii) from and after the Effective Date, the term "Banks" shall be deemed to include the Additional Banks and (except with respect to subsections 2.15 and 10.5 to the extent the rights under such subsections arise after the Termination Date in respect of Terminating Banks) to exclude the Terminating Banks. 2.5 Optional Prepayments. The Company may on the last day of the relevant Interest Period if the Revolving Credit Loans to be prepaid are in whole or in part Eurodollar Loans, or at any time and from time to time if the Revolving Credit Loans to be prepaid are Alternate Base Rate Loans, prepay the Revolving Credit Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon at least three Business Days' irrevocable notice to the Agent, specifying the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or Alternate Base Rate Loans or a combination thereof, and if of a combination thereof, the amount of prepayment allocable to each. Upon receipt of such notice the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank thereof. If such notice is given, the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and may only be made if, after giving effect thereto, subsection 2.6(c) shall not have been contravened. 2.6 Conversion Options; Minimum Amount of Loans. (a) The Company may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to Alternate Base Rate Loans by giving the Agent at least two Business Days' prior irrevocable notice of such election (given before 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the date on which such notice is required), provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans shall, subject to the fourth following sentence, only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Company may elect from time to time to convert Alternate Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Agent at least three Business Days' prior irrevocable notice of such election (given before 11:30 A.M., New York City 30 26 time, on the date on which such notice is required). Upon receipt of such notice, the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank thereof. Promptly following the date on which such conversion being made each Bank shall take such action as is necessary to transfer its portion of such Revolving Credit Loans to its Domestic Lending Office or its Eurodollar Lending Office, as the case may be. All or any part of outstanding Eurodollar Loans and Alternate Base Rate Loans may be converted as provided herein, provided that, unless the Majority Banks otherwise agree, (i) no Revolving Credit Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) partial conversions shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof, and (iii) any such conversion may only be made if, after giving effect thereto, subsection 2.6(c) shall not have bean contravened. (b) Any Eurodollar Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by compliance by the Company with the notice provisions contained in subsection 2.6(a); provided that, unless the Majority Banks otherwise agree, no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but shall be automatically converted to an Alternate Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto. The Agent shall notify the Banks promptly that such automatic conversion contemplated by this subsection 2.6 (b) will occur. (c) All borrowings, conversions, payments, prepayments and selection of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Loans comprising any Eurodollar Tranche shall not be less than $10,000,000. At no time shall there be more than 6 Eurodollar Tranches. 2.7 Interest Rate and Payment Dates for Revolving Credit Loans. (a) The Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin. (b) Alternate Base Rate Loans shall bear interest for each day from and including the date thereof on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Altermate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. (c) If all or a portion of the (i) principal amount of any Loans, (ii) any interest payable thereon or (iii) any fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is 2% above the Alternate Base Rate, and any overdue interest or 31 27 other amount payable hereunder shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is 2% above the Alternate Base Rate, in each case from the date of such non-payment until paid in full (after as well as before judgment). If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loans shall not be paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), each Eurodollar Loan shall, unless the Majority Banks otherwise agree, be converted to an Alternate Base Rate Loan at the end of the last Interest Period with respect thereto. (d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. 2.8 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest in respect of Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a (i) 365-day (or 366-day, as the case may be) year for the actual days elapsed when such Alternate Base Rate Loans are based on the Prime Rate, and (ii) a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed when based on the Base CD Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate. Interest in respect of Eurodollar Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. The Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Company and the Banks of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Revolving Credit Loan resulting from a change in the Alternate Base Rate or the Applicable Margin or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change in the Alternate Base Rate is announced, such Applicable Margin changes as provided herein or such change in or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective, as the case may be. The Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Company and the Banks of the effective date and the amount of each such change. (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and the Banks in the absence of manifest error. The Agent shall, at the request of the Company, deliver to the Company a statement showing the quotations used by the Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to subsection 2.7(a) or (c). (c) If any Reference Bank's Commitment shall terminate (otherwise than on termination of all the Commitments), or its Revolving Credit Loans shall be assigned for any reason whatsoever, such Reference Bank shall thereupon cease to be a Reference Bank, and if, as a result of the foregoing, there shall only be one Reference Bank remaining, then the Agent (after consultation with the Company and the Banks) shall, by notice to the Company and the Banks, designate another Bank as a Reference Bank so that there shall at all times be at least two Reference Banks. 32 28 (d) Each Reference Bank shall use its best efforts to furnish quotations of rates to the Agent as contemplated hereby. If any of the Reference Banks shall be unable or otherwise fails to supply such rates to the Agent upon its request, the rate of interest shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks or Reference Bank. (e) Facility fees shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year for the actual days elapsed. 2.9 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. In the event that: (i) the Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market generally, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period; (ii) only one of the Reference Banks is able to obtain bids for its Dollar deposits for such Interest Period in the manner contemplated by the term "Eurodollar Rate"; or (iii) the Agent shall have received notice prior to the first day of such Interest Period from Banks constituting the Majority Banks that the interest rate determined pursuant to subsection 2.7(a) for such Interest Period does not accurately reflect the cost to such Banks (as conclusively certified by such Banks) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period; with respect to (A) proposed Revolving Credit Loans that the Company has requested be made as Eurodollar Loans, (B) Eurodollar Loans that will result from the requested conversion of Alternate Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans or (C) the continuation of Eurodollar Loans beyond the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Agent shall forthwith give facsimile or telephonic notice of such determination to the Company and the Banks at least one day prior to, as the case may be, the requested Borrowing Date for such Eurodollar Loans, the conversion date of such Loans or the last day of such Interest Period. If such notice is given (x) any requested Eurodollar Loans shall be made as Alternate Base Rate Loans, (y) any Alternate Base Rate Loans that were to have been converted to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as Alternate Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, to Alternate Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans shall be made, nor shall the Company have the right to convert Alternate Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans. The Agent shall withdraw 33 29 such notice upon its determination that the event or events which gave rise to such notice no longer exist. 2.10 Pro Rata Borrowinqs and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the Company of Revolving Credit Loans shall be made ratably from the Banks in accordance with their Commitment Percentages. (b) Whenever any payment received by the Agent under this Agreement or any Note is insufficient to pay in full all amounts then due and payable to the Agent and the Banks under this Agreement and the Notes, and the Agent has not received a Payment Sharing Notice (or if the Agent has received a Payment Sharing Notice but the Event of Default specified in such Payment Sharing Notice has been cured or waived), such payment shall be distributed and applied by the Agent and the Banks in the following order: first, to the payment of fees and expenses due and payable to the Agent under and in connection with this Agreement; second, to the payment of all expenses due and payable under subsection 10.5(a), ratably among the Banks in accordance with the aggregate amount of such payments owed to each such Bank; third, to the payment of fees due and payable under subsection 2.3, ratably among the Banks in accordance with their Commitment Percentages; fourth, to the payment of interest then due and payable under the Notes, ratably among the Banks in accordance with the aggregate amount of interest owed to each such Bank; and fifth, to the payment of the principal amount of the Notes which is then due and payable, ratably among the Banks in accordance with the aggregate principal amount owed to each such Bank. (c) After the Agent has received a Payment Sharing Notice which remains in effect, all payments received by the Agent under this Agreement or any Note shall be distributed and applied by the Agent and the Banks in the following order: first, to the payment of all amounts described in clauses first through third of the foregoing paragraph (b), in the order set forth therein; and second, to the payment of the interest accrued on and the principal amount of all of the Notes, regardless of whether any such amount is then due and payable, ratably among the Banks in accordance with the aggregate accrued interest plus the aggregate principal amount owed to such Bank. (d) all payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Company on account of principal, interest and fees shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made to the Agent, for the account of the Banks, at the Agent's office set forth in subsection 10.2, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds. The Agent shall distribute such payments to the Banks promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the CAF Loans made pursuant to a LIBOR Auction Advance Request) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next 34 30 succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a CAF Loan made pursuant to a LIBOR Auction Advance Request becomes due and payable on a day other than a Working Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Working Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Working Day. (e) Unless the Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Bank prior to a Borrowing Date that such Bank will not make the amount which would constitute its Commitment Percentage of the borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans on such date available to the Agent, the Agent may assume that such Bank has made such amount available to the Agent on such Borrowing Date, and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Company a corresponding amount. If such amount is made available to the Agent on a date after such Borrowing Date, such Bank shall pay to the Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during such period as quoted by the Agent, times (ii) the amount of such Bank's Commitment Percentage of such borrowing, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from and including such Borrowing Date to the date on which such Bank's Commitment Percentage of such borrowing shall have become immediately available to the Agent and the denominator of which is 360. A certificate of the Agent submitted to any Bank with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection 2.10 (e) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such Bank's Commitment Percentage of such borrowing is not in fact made available to the Agent by such Bank within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans hereunder, on demand, from the Company. 2.11 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if after the date hereof the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Bank to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the Bank shall, within 30 Working Days after it becomes aware of such fact, notify the Company, through the Agent, of such fact, (b) the commitment of such Bank hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans or convert Alternate Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be cancelled and (c) such Bank's Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Alternate Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods for such Revolving Credit Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. Each Bank shall take such action as may be reasonably available to it without legal or financial disadvantage (including changing its Eurodollar Lending Office) to prevent the adoption of or any 35 31 change in any such Requirement of Law from becoming applicable to it. 2.12 Requirements of Law. (a) If after the date hereof the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the date hereof from any central bank or other Governmental Authority: (i) shall subject any Bank to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Revolving Credit Note, any Letter of Credit, any Application or any Eurodollar Loans made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Bank of principal, facility fee, interest or any.other amount payable hereunder in respect of Revolving Credit Loans (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Bank); (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Bank which are not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or (iii) shall impose on such Bank any other condition; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank, by any amount which such Bank deems to be material, of making, renewing or maintaining advances or extensions of credit (including, without limitation, issuing or participating in Letters of Credit) or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, in each case, in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Company shall promptly pay such Bank, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Bank for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable. If a Bank becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection 2.12(a), it shall, within 30 Business Days after it becomes aware of such fact, notify the Company, through the Agent, of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by such Bank, through the Agent, to the Company shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Each Bank shall take such action as may be reasonably available to it without legal or financial disadvantage (including changing its Eurodollar Lending Office) to prevent any such Requirement of Law or change from becoming applicable to it. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the outstanding Revolving Credit Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder. 36 32 (b) In the event that after the date hereof a Bank is required to maintain reserves of the type contemplated by the definition of "Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements", such Bank may require the Company to pay, promptly after receiving notice of the amount due, additional interest on the related Eurodollar Loan of such Bank at a rate per annum determined by such Bank up to but not exceeding the excess of (i) (A) the applicable Eurodollar Rate divided by (B) one minus the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements over (ii) the applicable Eurodollar Rate. Any Bank wishing to require payment of any such additional interest on account of any of its Eurodollar Loans shall notify the Company no more than 30 Working Days after each date on which interest is payable on such Eurodollar Loan of the amount then due it under this subsection 2.12 (b), in which case such additional interest on such Eurodollar Loan shall be payable to such Bank at the place indicated in such notice. Each such notification shall be accompanied by such information as the Company may reasonably request. 2.13 Capital Adequacy. If any Bank shall have determined that after the date hereof the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank with any request or directive after the date hereof regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or Governmental Authority, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank's or such corporation's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Bank or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Bank's or such corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount which is reasonably deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, promptly after submission by such Bank, through the Agent, to the Company of a written request therefor (such request shall include details reasonably sufficient to establish the basis for such additional amounts payable and shall be submitted to the Company within 30 Working Days after it becomes aware of such fact), the Company shall promptly pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such reduction. The agreements in this subsection 2.13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the Loans and the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder. 2.14 Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Company under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority excluding, in the case of the Agent and each Bank, net income and franchise taxes imposed on the Agent or 37 33 such Bank by the jurisdiction under the laws of which the Agent or such Bank is organized or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or by any jurisdiction in which such Bank's Domestic Lending Office or Eurodollar Lending Office, as the case may be, is located or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings being hereinafter called "Taxes"). If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Agent or any Bank hereunder or under the Notes, the amounts so payable to the Agent or such Bank shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Agent or such Bank (after payment of all Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement and the Notes. Whenever any Taxes are payable by the Company, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Company shall send to the Agent for its own account or for the account of such Bank, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Company showing payment thereof. If the Company fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Company shall indemnify the Agent and the Banks for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Agent or any Bank as a result of any such failure. (b) Each Bank that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof agrees that it will deliver to the Company and the Agent (i) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224 or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying in each case that such Bank is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the Notes payable to it, without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, and (ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9 or successor applicable form, as the case may be, to establish an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Bank which delivers to the Company and the Agent a Form 1001 or 4224 and Form W-8 or W-9 pursuant to the next preceding sentence further undertakes to deliver to the Company and the Agent two further copies of the said letter and Form 1001 or 4224 and Form W-8 or W-9, or successor applicable forms, or other manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such letter or form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent letter and form previously delivered by it to the Company, and such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by the Company, certifying in the case of a Form 1001 or 4224 that such Bank is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless in any such cases an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms 38 34 inapplicable or which would prevent such Bank from duly completing and delivering any such letter or form with respect to it and such Bank advises the Company that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax, and in the case of a Form W-8 or W-9, establishing an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. (c) The agreements in subsection 2.14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder. 2.15 Indemnity. The Company agrees to indemnify each Bank and to hold each Bank harmless from any loss or expense (other than any loss of anticipated margin or profit) which such Bank may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Company in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any Eurodollar Loans of such Bank, (b) default by the Company in making a borrowing or conversion after the Company has given a notice of borrowing in accordance with subsection 2.1 (c) or a notice of continuation or conversion pursuant to subsection 2.6, (c) default by the Company in making any prepayment after the Company has given a notice in accordance with subsection 2.5 or (d) the making of a prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, including, without limitation, in each case, any such loss or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its Eurodollar Loans hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Any Bank claiming any amount under this subsection 2.15 shall provide calculations, in reasonable detail, of the amount of its loss or expense. This covenant shall survive termination of this Agreement and payment of the outstanding Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder. 2.16 Application of Proceeds of Loans. Subject to the provisions of the following sentence, the Company may use the proceeds of the Loans for any lawful corporate purpose. The Company will not, directly or indirectly, apply any part of the proceeds of any such Loan for the purpose of "purchasing" or "carrying" any "margin stock" within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U, or to refund any indebtedness incurred for such purpose. 2.17 Notice of Certain Circumstances; Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances. (a) Any Bank claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to subsections 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14 or exercising its rights under subsection 2.11, shall, in accordance with the respective provisions thereof, provide notice to the Company and the Agent. Such notice to the Company and the Agent shall include details reasonably sufficient to establish the basis for such additional amounts payable or the rights to be exercised by the Bank. 39 35 (b) Any Bank claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to subsections 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14 or exercising its rights under subsection 2.11, shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document requested by the Company or to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such additional amounts which may thereafter accrue or avoid the circumstances giving rise to such exercise and would not, in the sole determination of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. (c) In the event that the Company shall be required to make any additional payments to any Bank pursuant to subsections 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14 or any Bank shall exercise its rights under subsection 2.11, the Company shall have the right at its own expense, upon notice to such Bank and the Agent, to require such Bank to transfer and to assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the terms of subsection 10.6) all its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to another financial institution (including any Bank) acceptable to the Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) which shall assume such obligations; provided that (i) no such assignment shall conflict with any Requirement of Law and (ii) such assuming financial institution shall pay to such Bank in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the outstanding principal amount of such Bank's Notes together with accrued interest thereon and all other amounts accrued for its account or owed to it hereunder, including, but not limited to additional amounts payable under subsections 2.3, 2.11, 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15. SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT 3.1 L/C Sublimit. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Bank, in reliance on the agreements of the other Banks set forth in subsection 3.4 (a), agrees to issue letters of credit ("Letters of Credit") for the account of the Company on any Business Day during the Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Bank; provided that the Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Sublimit or (ii) the Available Commitment would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars, (ii) be a standby letter of credit issued to support obligations of the Company or its Subsidiaries, contingent or otherwise (a "Standby Letter of Credit") and (iii) expire no later than the Termination Date. (b) Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of New York. 40 36 (c) The Issuing Bank shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Bank or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law. (d) No Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date more than 365 days after its date of issuance. 3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Company may from time to time request that the Issuing Bank issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuing Bank at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Bank, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Bank may request. Upon receipt of any Application, the Issuing Bank will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Bank be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Company. The Issuing Bank shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Company promptly following the issuance thereof. 3.3 Fees, Commissions and Other Charges. (a) The Company shall pay to the Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank and the L/C Participants, a letter of credit commission with respect to each Letter of Credit, computed for the period from the date of issuance to the expiry date thereof at the rate of .45% per annum, calculated on the basis of a 365-day (or 366-day, as the case may be) year, on the face amount of each such Letter of Credit, of which .125% per annum shall be payable to the Issuing Bank and .325% per annum shall be payable to the L/C Participants to be shared ratably among them in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages. Such fee shall be payable in advance on the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit and on each L/C Fee Payment Date to occur thereafter and shall be nonrefundable. (b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Company shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Bank for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Bank in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit. (c) The Agent shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, distribute to the Issuing Bank and the L/C Participants 41 37 all fees received by the Agent for their respective accounts pursuant to this subsection. 3.4 L/C Participation. (a) The Issuing Bank irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Bank, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant's own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant's Commitment Percentage in the Issuing Bank's obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Bank thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the Issuing Bank that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Bank is not reimbursed in full by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Bank upon demand at the Issuing Bank's address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant's Commitment Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed. (b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Issuing Bank pursuant to subsection 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Issuing Bank within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Bank on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal funds rate, as quoted by the Issuing Bank, during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Bank, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to subsection 3.4(a) is not in fact made available to the Issuing Bank by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Revolving Credit Loans that are Alternate Base Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate of the Issuing Bank submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. (c) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Bank has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with subsection 3.4(a), the Issuing Bank receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Company or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral, if any, applied thereto by the Issuing Bank), or any payment of interest 42 38 on account thereof, the Issuing Bank will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Bank shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Bank, such L/C Participant shall return to the Issuing Bank the portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Bank to it. 3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. The Company agrees to reimburse the Issuing Bank on each date on which the Issuing Bank notifies the Company of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit and paid by the Issuing Bank for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with such payment. Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Bank at its address for notices specified herein in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by the Company under this subsection from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus 2%. 3.6 Obligations Absolute. The Company's obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Company may have or have had against the Issuing Bank or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit. The Company also agrees with the Issuing Bank that the Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for, and the Company's Reimbursement Obligations under subsection 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Company and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Company against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Bank shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions caused by the Issuing Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Company agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence of willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Company and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Bank to the Company. 3.7 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing 43 39 Bank shall promptly notify the Company of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Bank to the Company in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Letter of Credit. 3.8 Application. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply. SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES The Company hereby represents and warrants that: 4.1 Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law, including, without limitation, HMO Regulations and Insurance Regulations, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or to comply therewith could not have a Material Adverse Effect. 4.2 No Legal Obstacle to Agreement; Enforceability. Neither the execution and delivery of any Loan Document, nor the making by the Company of any borrowings hereunder, nor the consummation of any transaction herein or therein referred to or contemplated hereby or thereby nor the fulfillment of the terms hereof or thereof or of any agreement or instrument referred to in this Agreement, has constituted or resulted in or will constitute or result in a breach of any Requirement of Law, including without limitation, HMO Regulations and Insurance Regulations, or any Contractual Obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or result in the creation under any agreement or instrument of any security interest, lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. No approval, authorization or other action by any Governmental Authority, including, without limitation, HMO Regulators and Insurance Regulators, or any other Person is required to be obtained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of 44 40 this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the making of any borrowing by the Company hereunder. This Agreement has been, and each other Loan Document will be, duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Company. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document when executed and delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). 4.3 Litigation. Except as disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended August 31, 1992 and the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for its fiscal quarters ended March 31, 1993, June 30, 1993 and September 30, 1993 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and previously distributed to the Banks, there is no litigation, at law or in equity, or any proceeding before any federal, state, provincial or municipal board or other governmental or administrative agency, including without limitation, HMO Regulators and Insurance Regulators, pending or to the knowledge of the Company threatened which, after giving effect to any applicable insurance, may involve any material risk of a Material Adverse Effect or which seeks to enjoin the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no judgment, decree, or order of any federal, state, provincial or municipal court, board or other governmental or administrative agency, including without limitation, HMO Regulators and Insurance Regulators, has been issued against the Company or any Subsidiary which has, or may involve, a material risk of a Material Adverse Effect. The Company does not believe that the final resolution of the matters disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended August 31, 1992 and the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for its fiscal quarters ended March 31, 1993, June 30, 1993 and September 30, 1993 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and previously distributed to the Banks, will have a Material Adverse Effect. 4.4 Disclosure. Neither this Agreement nor any agreement, document, certificate or statement furnished to the Banks by the Company in connection herewith (including, without limitation, the information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries included in the Confidential Information Memorandum dated December 1993 delivered in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities hereunder) contains any untrue statement of material fact or, taken as a whole together with all other information furnished to Banks by the Company, omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading. All pro forma financial statements made available to Banks have been prepared in good 45 41 faith based upon reasonable assumptions. There is no fact known to the Company which materially adversely affects or in the future may (so far as the Company can now foresee) materially adversely affect the business, operations, affairs or condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, except to the extent that they may be affected by future general economic conditions. 4.5 Defaults. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation in any respect which has had, or may have, a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 4.6 Financial Condition. The Company has furnished to the Agent and each Bank copies of the following: (a) The Annual Report of the Company on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1992; (b) the Quarterly Reports of the Company on Form 10-Q for each of the fiscal quarters ended November 30, 1992, March 31, 1993, June 30, 1993 and September 30, 1993; and (c) the Proxy Statement of the Company dated January 22, 1993. The financial statements included therein, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as disclosed therein). As of the date of such financial statements, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries had any known contingent liabilities of any significant amount which in accordance with GAAP are required to be referred to in said financial statements or in the notes thereto which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. During the period from August 31, 1992 to and including the date hereof, there has been no sale, transfer or other disposition by the Company or any of its consolidated Subsidiaries of any asset reflected on the balance sheet referred to above that would have been a material part of its business or property (excluding the spin-off of the Company's hospital business as described in the Proxy Statement referred to in subsection 4.6(c)) and no purchase or other acquisition of any business or property (including any capital stock of any other Person) material in relation to the consolidated financial condition of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries at August 31, 1992. 4.7 Changes in Condition. Since August 31, 1992, there has been no development or event nor any prospective development or event, which has had, or may have, a Material Adverse Effect. 46 42 4.8 Assets. The Company and each Subsidiary have good and marketable title to all material assets carried on their books and reflected in the financial statements referred to in subsection 4.6 or furnished pursuant to subsection 6.4, except for assets held on Financing Leases or purchased subject to security devices providing for retention of title in the vendor, and except for assets disposed of as permitted by this Agreement. 4.9 Tax Returns. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have filed all tax returns which are required to be filed and have paid, or made adequate provision for the payment of, all taxes which have or may become due pursuant to said returns or to assessments received. All federal tax returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries through their fiscal years ended in 1987 have been audited by the Internal Revenue Service or are not subject to such audit by virtue of the expiration of the applicable period of limitations, and the results of such audits are fully reflected in the balance sheets referred to in subsection 4.6. The Company knows of no material additional assessments since said date for which adequate reserves appearing in the said balance sheet have not been established. 4.10 Contracts, etc. Attached hereto as Schedule III is a statement of outstanding Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries for borrowed money in excess of $1,000,000 as of the date set forth therein, and a complete and correct list of all agreements, contracts, indentures, instruments, documents and amendments thereto to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which it is bound pursuant to which any such Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries is outstanding on the date hereof. Said Schedule III also includes a complete and correct list of all such Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries outstanding on the date indicated in respect of Guarantee Obligations in excess of $1,000,000 and letters of credit in excess of $1,000,000, and there have been no increases in such Indebtedness since said date other than as permitted by this Agreement. 4.11 Subsidiaries. As of the date hereof, the Company has only the Subsidiaries set forth in Schedule IV, all of the outstanding capital stock of each of which is duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and owned as set forth in said Schedule IV. Schedule IV indicates all Subsidiaries of the Company which are not Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries and the percentage ownership of the Company and its Subsidiaries in each such Subsidiary. The capital stock and securities owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries in each of the Company's Subsidiaries are owned free and clear of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance, charge or restriction on the transfer thereof other than restrictions on transfer imposed by applicable securities laws and restrictions, liens and encumbrances outstanding on the date hereof and listed in said Schedule IV. 47 43 4.12 Burdensome Obligations. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is a party to or bound by any agreement, deed, lease or other instrument, or subject to any charter, by-law or other corporate restriction which, in the opinion of the management thereof, is so unusual or burdensome as to in the foreseeable future have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company does not presently anticipate that future expenditures of the Company and its Subsidiaries needed to meet the provisions of any federal or state statutes, orders, rules or regulations will be so burdensome as to have a Material Adverse Effect. 4.13 Pension Plans. Each Plan maintained by the Company, any Subsidiary or any Control Group Person or to which any of them makes or will make contributions is in material compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary nor any Control Group Person maintains, contributes to or participates in any Plan that is a "defined benefit plan" as defined in ERISA. Neither the Company, any Subsidiary, nor any Control Group Person has since August 31, 1987 maintained, contributed to or participated in any Multiemployer Plan, with respect to which a complete withdrawal would result in any withdrawal liability. The Company and its Subsidiaries have met all of the funding standards applicable to all Plans that are not Multiemployer Plans, and there exists no event or condition which would permit the institution of proceedings to terminate any Plan that is not a Multiemployer Plan. The current value of the benefits guaranteed under Title IV of ERISA of each Plan that is not a Multiemployer Plan does not exceed the current value of such Plan's assets allocable to such benefits. 4.14 Environmental and Public and Employee Health and Safety Matters. The Company and each Subsidiary has complied with all applicable Federal, state, and other laws, rules and regulations relating to environmental pollution or to environmental regulation or control or to public or employee health or safety, except to the extent that the failure to so comply would not be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company's and the Subsidiaries' facilities do not contain, and have not previously contained, any hazardous wastes, hazardous substances, hazardous materials, toxic substances or toxic pollutants regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, the Toxic Substance Control Act, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act or any other applicable law relating to environmental pollution or public or employee health and safety, in violation of any such law, or any rules or regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, except for violations that would not be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is aware of no events, conditions or circumstances involving environmental pollution or contamination or public or employee health or safety, in each case applicable to it or its 48 44 Subsidiaries, that would be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 4.15 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans will be used for "purchasing" or "carrying" any "margin stock" within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any purpose which violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. If requested by any Bank or the Agent, the Company will furnish to the Agent and each Bank a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form U-1 referred to in said Regulation U. 4.16 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. The Company is not an "investment company", or a company "controlled" by an "investment company", within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Company is not subject to regulation under any Federal or State statute or regulation which limits its ability to incur Indebtedness. 4.17 Solvency. Each of the Company, and the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, is Solvent. 4.18 Casualties. Neither the businesses nor the properties of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are affected by any fire, explosion, accident, strike, lockout or other material labor dispute, drought, storm, hail, earthquake, embargo, act of God or of the public enemy or other casualty (whether or not covered by insurance) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 4.19 Business Activity. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged in any line of business that is not related to the healthcare industry other than the sale of life insurance in connection with the sale of medical insurance or other healthcare services or any business or activity which is immaterial to the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. 4.20 Purpose of Loans.

Such insurance may be subject to co-insurance, deductibility or similar clauses which, in effect, result in self-insurance of certain losses, and the Company may self-insure against such loss or damage, provided that adequate insurance reserves are maintained in connection with such self-insurance. 6.4 Financial Statements. The Company will and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain a standard modern system of accounting in which full, true and correct entries will be made of all dealings or transactions in relation to its business and affairs in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, and will furnish the following to each Bank (in duplicate if so requested): (a) Annual Statements.

provided, however, that such default shall not constitute an Event of Default unless (i) the outstanding principal amount of such item of Indebtedness exceeds $5,000,000, or (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such item of Indebtedness and all other items of Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries as to which such defaults exist and have continued without being duly cured, waived or consented to beyond the respective periods of grace, if any, therein specified exceeds $15,000,000, or (iii) such default shall have continued without being rectified or cured to the satisfaction of the Majority Banks for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof by the Agent to the Company; or (f) either the Company or any Subsidiary shall be involved in financial difficulties as evidenced: (i) by its commencement of a voluntary case under Title 11 of the United States Code as from time to time in effect, or by its authorizing, by appropriate proceedings of its board of directors or other governing body, the commencement of such a voluntary case;

and in each case in clauses (i) through (vi) above, such event or condition, together with all other such events or conditions, if any, could subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any tax, penalty or other liabilities which in the aggregate could have a Material Adverse Effect; or (i) one or more judgments or decrees shall be entered against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and such judgments or decrees shall not have been vacated, discharged, stayed or bonded pending appeal within 45 days from the entry thereof that (i) involves in the aggregate a liability (not paid or fully covered by insurance) of $15,000,000 or more, or (ii) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

or 64 60 (k) on or after the Closing Date, (i) for any reason any Loan Document ceases to be or is not in full force and effect or (ii) the Company shall assert that any Loan Document has ceased to be or is not in full force and effect; then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in paragraph (f) above with respect to the Company, automatically the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the Notes (including, without limitation, all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit have presented the documents required thereunder) shall immediately become due and payable, and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default, either or both of the following actions may be taken: (i) with the consent of the Majority Banks, the Agent may, or upon the request of the Majority Banks, the Agent shall, by notice to the Company declare the Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Commitments shall immediately terminate; and (ii) with the consent of the Majority Banks, the Agent may, or upon the request of the Majority Banks, the Agent shall, by notice of default to the Company, declare the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the Notes (including, without limitation, all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) (the "Bank Obligation") to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable. With respect to all Letters of Credit as to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Company shall at such time deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Agent an amount equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other obligations of the Company hereunder and under the Notes. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other obligations of the Company hereunder and under the Notes shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Company. Except as expressly provided above in this Section, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived. 65 61 8.2 Annulment of Defaults. An Event of Default shall not be deemed to be in existence for any purpose of this Agreement if the Agent, with the consent of or at the direction of the Majority Banks, subject to subsection 10.1, shall have waived such event in writing or stated in writing that the same has been cured to its reasonable satisfaction, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any rights of the Agent or the Banks upon the occurrence thereof. 8.3 Waivers. The Company hereby waives to the extent permitted by applicable law (a) all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance (except to the extent required by the provisions hereof), protests, notices of protest and notices of dishonor in connection with any Reimbursement Obligation or any of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes, (b) any requirement of diligence or promptness on the part of any Bank in the enforcement of its rights under the provisions of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any Note, and (c) any and all notices of every kind and description which may be required to be given by any statute or rule of law and any defense of any kind which the Company may now or hereafter have with respect to its liability under this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any Note. 8.4 Course of Dealing. No course of dealing between the Company and any Bank shall operate as a waiver of any of the Banks' rights under this Agreement or any Note. No delay or omission on the part of any Bank in exercising any right under this Agreement or any Note or with respect to any of the Bank Obligations shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right hereunder. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion. No waiver or consent shall be binding upon any Bank unless it is in writing and signed by the Agent or such of the Banks as may be required by the provisions of this Agreement. The making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit hereunder during the existence of a Default shall not constitute a waiver thereof. SECTION 9. THE AGENT 9.1 Appointment. Each Bank hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Chemical Bank as the Agent and CAF Loan Agent of such Bank under this Agreement, and each such Bank irrevocably authorizes Chemical Bank, as the Agent and CAF Loan Agent for such Bank, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Agent or CAF Loan Agent, as the case may be, by the terms of this Agreement, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, neither the Agent nor the 66 62 CAF Loan Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Bank, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against the Agent or the CAF Loan Agent. 9.2 Delegation of Duties. The Agent or the CAF Loan Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Neither the Agent nor the CAF Loan Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. 9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Agent nor the CAF Loan Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement (except for its or such Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Banks for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Company or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agent or the CAF Loan Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or the Notes or for any failure of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder. Neither the Agent nor the CAF Loan Agent shall be under any obligation to any Bank to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Company. 9.4 Reliance by Agent. The Agent and the CAF Loan Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent or the CAF Loan Agent. The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Agent. The Agent and the CAF Loan Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Banks as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks against any and all 67 63 liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent and the CAF Loan Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the Notes in accordance with a request of the Majority Banks, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Banks and all future holders of the Notes. 9.5 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Agent has received notice from a Bank or the Company referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default". In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Banks. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Majority Banks; provided that, unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Banks. 9.6 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Banks. Each Bank expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent nor the CAF Loan Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent or the CAF Loan Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Company, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent to any Bank. Each Bank represents to the Agent and the CAF Loan Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or the CAF Loan Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or the CAF Loan Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Banks by the Agent or the CAF Loan Agent hereunder, neither the Agent nor the CAF Loan Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or 68 64 creditworthiness of the Company which may come into the possession of the Agent or the CAF Loan Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates. 9.7 Indemnification. The Banks agree to indemnify the Agent and the CAF Loan Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so), ratably according to the respective amounts of their then existing Commitments, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including without limitation at any time following the payment of the Notes) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent or the CAF Loan Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent or the CAF Loan Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Bank shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the Agent's or the CAF Loan Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this subsection shall survive the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder. 9.8 Agent and CAF Loan Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Agent and the CAF Loan Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company as though the Agent or the CAF Loan Agent were not the Agent or the CAF Loan Agent hereunder. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and any Note issued to it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, the Agent and the CAF Loan Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the terms "Bank" and "Banks" shall include the Agent or the CAF Loan Agent in its individual capacity. 9.9 Successor Agent and CAF Loan Agent. The Agent or the CAF Loan Agent may resign as Agent or CAF Loan Agent, as the case may be, upon 10 days' notice to the Banks. If the Agent or the CAF Loan Agent shall resign as Agent or CAF Loan Agent, as the case may be, under this Agreement, then the Majority Banks shall appoint from among the Banks a successor agent for the Banks which successor agent shall be approved by the Company, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent or CAF Loan Agent, as the case may be, and the term "Agent" or "CAF Loan Agent", as the case may be, shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent's or CAF Loan Agent's rights, powers and duties as Agent or CAF Loan Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent 69 65 or CAF Loan Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Notes. After any retiring Agent's or CAF Loan Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent or CAF Loan Agent, the provisions of this subsection 9.9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent or CAF Loan Agent under this Agreement. SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS 10.1 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement, any Note, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this subsection.

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Banks and shall be binding upon the Company, the Banks, the Agent and all future holders of the Notes. In the case of any waiver, the Company, the Banks and the Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the outstanding Notes, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. 10.2 Notices.

No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Agent or any Bank, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. 10.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes. 71 67 10.5 Payment of Expenses and Taxes; Indemnity. (a) The Company agrees (i) to pay or reimburse the Agent for all its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the Notes and any other documents prepared in connection herewith, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agent, (ii) to pay or reimburse each Bank and the Agent for all their reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the Notes and any such other documents, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agent and to the several Banks, and (iii) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Bank and the Agent harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the Notes and any such other documents. (b) The Company will indemnify each of the Agent and the Banks and the directors, officers and employees thereof and each Person, if any, who controls each one of the Agent and the Banks (any of the foregoing, an "Indemnified Person") and hold each Indemnified Person harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation all fees and disbursements of counsel with whom an Indemnified Person may consult in connection therewith and all expenses of litigation or preparation therefor) which an Indemnified Person may incur or which may be asserted against it in connection with any litigation or investigation involving this Agreement, the use of any proceeds of any Loans under this Agreement by the Company or any Subsidiary, any officer, director or employee thereof, other than litigation commenced by the Company against any of the Agent or the Banks which (i) seeks enforcement of any of the Company's right hereunder and (ii) is determined adversely to any of the Agent or the Banks. (c) The agreements in this subsection 10.5 shall survive repayment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder. 10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations; Purchasing Banks. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the Banks, the Agent, all future holders of the Notes and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Company may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Bank. 72 68 (b) Any Bank may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities ("Participants") participating interests in any Loans owing to such Bank, any Notes held by such Bank, any Commitments of such Bank or any other interests of such Bank hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, such Bank's obligations under this Agreement to the other parties under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Bank shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Bank shall remain the holder of any such Notes for all purposes under this Agreement, and the Company and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents. The Company agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Notes are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of offset in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and any Notes to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Bank under this Agreement or any Notes, provided that such right of offset shall be subject to the obligation of such Participant to share with the Banks, and the Banks agree to share with such Participant, as provided in subsection 10.7. The Company also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.15 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Eurodollar Loans outstanding from time to time; provided that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such subsections than the transferor Bank would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Bank to such Participant had no such transfer occurred. No Participant shall be entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of or to this Agreement or any Note, unless the same is subject to clause (a) of the proviso to subsection 10.1. (c) Any Bank may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time assign to one or more banks or other entities ("CAF Loan Assignees") any CAF Loan owing to such Bank and any Individual CAF Loan Note held by such Bank evidencing such CAF Loan, pursuant to a CAF Loan Assignment executed by the assignor Bank and the CAF Loan Assignee. Upon such execution, from and after the date of such CAF Loan Assignment, the CAF Loan Assignee shall, to the extent of the assignment provided for in such CAF Loan Assignment, be deemed to have the same rights and benefits of payment and enforcement with respect to such CAF Loan and Individual CAF Loan Note and the same rights of offset pursuant to subsection 8.1 and under applicable law and obligation to share pursuant to subsection 10.7 as it would have had if it were 73 69 a Bank hereunder; provided that unless such CAF Loan Assignment shall otherwise specify and a copy of such CAF Loan Assignment shall have been delivered to the Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register in accordance with subsection 10.6(f), the assignor thereunder shall act as collection agent for the CAF Loan Assignee thereunder, and the Agent shall pay all amounts received from the Company which are allocable to the assigned CAF Loan or Individual CAF Loan Note directly to such assignor without any further liability to such CAF Loan Assignee. A CAF Loan Assignee under a CAF Loan Assignment shall not, by virtue of such CAF Loan Assignment, become a party to this Agreement or have any rights to consent to or refrain from consenting to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of this Agreement or any related document; provided that if a copy of such CAF Loan Assignment shall have been delivered to the Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register in accordance with subsection 10.6(f), neither the principal amount of, the interest rate on, nor the maturity date of any CAF Loan or Individual CAF Loan Note assigned to the CAF Loan Assignee thereunder will be modified without the written consent of such CAF Loan Assignee. If a CAF Loan Assignee has caused a CAF Loan Assignment to be recorded in the Register in accordance with subsection 10.6(f), such CAF Loan Assignee may thereafter, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, assign such Individual CAF Loan Note to any Bank, to any affiliate or subsidiary of such CAF Loan Assignee or to any other financial institution that has total assets in excess of $1,000,000,000 and that in the ordinary course of its business extends credit of the type evidenced by such Individual CAF Loan Note, and the foregoing provisions of this subsection 10.6(c) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to any such assignment by a CAF Loan Assignee. Except in accordance with the preceding sentence, CAF Loans and Individual CAF Loan Notes may not be further assigned by a CAF Loan Assignee, subject to any legal or regulatory requirement that the CAF Loan Assignee's assets must remain under its control. (d) Any Bank may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to any Bank or any affiliate thereof, and, with the consent of the Company and the Agent (which in each case shall not be unreasonably withheld) to one or more additional banks or financial institutions ("Purchasing Banks") all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement, executed by such Purchasing Bank, such transferor Bank and the Agent (and, in the case of a Purchasing Bank that is not then a Bank or an affiliate thereof, by the Company); provided, however, that (i) the Commitments purchased by such Purchasing Bank that is not then a Bank shall be equal to or greater than $10,000,000 and (ii) the transferor Bank which has transferred less than all of its Loans and Commitments to any such Purchasing Bank shall retain a minimum Commitment, after giving effect to such sale, equal to or greater than $10,000,000. Upon (i) such execution of 74 70 such Commitment Transfer Supplement, (ii) delivery of an executed copy thereof to the Company and (iii) payment by such Purchasing Bank, such Purchasing Bank shall for all purposes be a Bank party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement, to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto with the Commitment Percentage of the Commitments set forth in such Commitment Transfer Supplement. Such Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Bank and the resulting adjustment of Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Bank of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Bank under this Agreement and the Notes. Upon the consummation of any transfer to a Purchasing Bank, pursuant to this subsection 10.6(d), the transferor Bank, the Agent and the Company shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required, replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Bank and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchasing Bank, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their Commitment Percentages or, as appropriate, their outstanding Loans as adjusted pursuant to such Commitment Transfer Supplement. (e) The Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in subsection 10.2 a copy of each CAF Loan Assignment and each Commitment Transfer Supplement delivered to it and a register (the "Register") for the recordation of (i) the names and addresses of the Banks and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Bank from time to time, and (ii) with respect to each CAF Loan Assignment delivered to the Agent, the name and address of the CAF Loan Assignee and the principal amount of each CAF Loan owing to such CAF Loan Assignee. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Company, the Agent and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loan recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company or any Bank or CAF Loan Assignee at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. (f) Upon its receipt of a CAF Loan Assignment executed by an assignor Bank and a CAF Loan Assignee, together with payment to the Agent of a registration and processing fee of $1,000, the Agent shall promptly accept such CAF Loan Assignment, record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the assignor Bank, the CAF Loan Assignee and the Company. Upon its receipt of a Commitment Transfer Supplement executed by a transferor Bank and a Purchasing Bank (and, in the case of a Purchasing Bank that is not then a Bank or an affiliate thereof, by the Company and the Agent) together with payment to the Agent of a registration and processing fee of $2,500, the Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Commitment Transfer Supplement (ii) on the Transfer 75 71 Effective Date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Banks and the Company. (g) The Company authorizes each Bank to disclose to any Participant, CAF Loan Assignee or Purchasing Bank (each, a "Transferee") and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Bank's possession concerning the Company which has been delivered to such Bank by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Bank by the Company in connection with such Bank's credit evaluation of the Company prior to entering into this Agreement. (h) If, pursuant to this subsection 10.6, any interest in this Agreement or any Note is transferred to any Transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Bank shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, (i) to represent to the transferor Bank (for the benefit of the transferor Bank, the Agent and the Company) that under applicable law and treaties no taxes will be required to be withheld by the Agent, the Company or the transferor Bank with respect to any payments to be made to such Transferee in respect of the Loans, (ii) to furnish to the transferor Bank (and, in the case of any Purchasing Bank and any CAF Loan Assignee registered in the Register, the Agent and the Company) either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 4224 or U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 (wherein such Transferee claims entitlement to complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on all interest payments hereunder) and (iii) to agree (for the benefit of the transferor Bank, the Agent and the Company) to provide the transferor Bank (and, in the case of any Purchasing Bank and any CAF Loan Assignee registered in the Register, the Agent and the Company) a new Form 4224 or Form 1001 upon the obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations and amendments duly executed and completed by such Transferee, and to comply from time to time with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations with regard to such withholding tax exemption. (i) Nothing herein shall prohibit any Bank or any Affiliate thereof from pledging or assigning any Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law. 10.7 Adjustments; Set-off. If any Bank (a "Benefitted Bank") shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans or the Reimbursement Obligations owing to it, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by offset, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in subsection 8.1(f), or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and collateral received by any other Bank, if any, in respect of such other Bank's Loans or the Reimbursement Obligations owing to it, or interest thereon, such Benefitted 76 72 Bank shall purchase for cash from the other Banks such portion of each such other Bank's Loans or the Reimbursement Obligations owing to it, or shall provide such other Banks with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Bank to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Banks; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Bank, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Company agrees that each Bank so purchasing a portion of another Bank's Loan may exercise all rights of a payment (including, without limitation, rights of offset) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Bank were the direct holder of such portion. 10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Company and the Agent. 10.9 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 10.10 WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. THE COMPANY, THE AGENT, THE CAF LOAN AGENT AND THE BANKS EACH HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN. 10.11 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. The Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: (a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgement in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof; and (b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts, and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same. 10.12 Confidentiality of Information. Each Bank acknowledges that some of the information furnished to such Bank 77 73 pursuant to this Agreement may be received by such Bank prior to the time such information shall have been made public, and each Bank agrees that it will keep all information so furnished confidential and shall make no use of such information until it shall have become public, except (a) in connection with matters involving operations under or enforcement of this Agreement or the Notes, (b) in accordance with each Bank's obligations under law or pursuant to subpoenas or other process to make information available to governmental agencies and examiners or to others, (c) to each Bank's corporate Affiliates and Transferees and prospective Transferees so long as such Persons agree to be bound by this subsection 10.12 and (d) with the prior consent of the Company. 78 74 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by their proper and duly authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

                    ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION AGREEMENT

         THIS ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made
this 8th day of March, by and between HUMANA INC., a Delaware corporation
("Humana"), and GALEN HEALTH CARE, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Galen").

RECITALS

         Prior to the date of this Agreement, Humana and Galen were members
of an affiliated group of companies.  As part of the division of the
formerly integrated business into separate businesses managed by
unaffiliated companies, which has been accomplished as of the date hereof
by distribution of the capital stock of Galen to Humana's shareholders, Humana
and Galen have entered into certain agreements governing the division of such
business and the distribution of its assets and liabilities.  The purpose of
this Agreement is to specify the sole and exclusive method and procedure by
which disputes arising out of or relating to such agreements, or breaches of
such agreements, are to be resolved.  Humana and Galen intend that the
procedures agreed upon herein will permit them to resolve such disputes,
if any, expeditiously, economically and finally.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
of the parties contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

         1.      DEFINITIONS.  As used in this Agreement, the following terms
shall have the meanings set forth in this Section 1:
   2
       1.1.    AFFILIATE.  An "affiliate" as defined under Rule 12b-2 of the
regulations promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

        1.2.    AMOUNT IN CONTROVERSY.  The monetary value of any
Dispute.  In determining the monetary value of any Dispute, in addition to
the monies actually at issue, if interpretation of a provision of one of the
Contracts could determine the rights of the parties with respect to future
Disputes, the monetary value of such further Disputes which could reasonably
arise under the Contract provision to be interpreted must be considered.

        1.3.    ARBITRATOR.   The person appointed pursuant to Paragraph 4.4
below.

        1.4.    CONTRACTS.  Each of the agreements set forth in Tab A.

        1.5.    DISPUTE. A claim, demand, liability or assertion by one party 
hereto against the other which arises out of or relates to the
Contracts, or which alleges a breach thereof, concerning which the parties
cannot reach agreement after good faith consultation and negotiation.

        1.6.    GALEN.  Galen Health Care, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries
after March 1, 1993.

        1.7.    HUMANA.  Humana Inc. and all of its subsidiaries after March 1,
1993.

        1.8.    HUMANA GROUP.  Humana Inc. and all of its existing and former

        1.9.    MEDIATOR.    The person appointed pursuant to Paragraph 3.4
below.





                                       2
   3
       1.10.   PANEL.  The list of potential Mediators or Arbitrators
created in accordance with Paragraph 5 hereof. 

       2.      NATURE OF THE DISPUTE.

       2.1.    If the Dispute involves an Amount in Controversy of less  than
$250,000,  the  parties  shall  submit  such  Dispute  to binding mediation as
set forth in Paragraph 3.17 below.

       2.2.    If the Dispute involves an Amount in Controversy of $250,000 or
more, the parties shall first submit such Dispute to non-binding mediation.  If
the Dispute cannot be resolved through mediation, such Dispute shall then be
submitted by the parties to binding arbitration in accordance with Section 4
below.   Judgment upon  the  award  rendered by  the  Arbitrator may be
enforced  as provided in Paragraph 6.1.

       2.3.    If the parties are unable to agree which of the above provisions
(Paragraph 2.1 or Paragraph 2.2) governs a Dispute, the Mediator shall decide
this  issue  prior  to  beginning  any  other  part  of  the mediation.

       3.      MEDIATION.

       3.1.    Either party to a Dispute may initiate mediation by giving
notice  to  the  other  that  it  requests  mediation  (the "Request" ).

       3.2.    The Request shall contain a brief statement of the nature of the
Dispute.

       3.3.    Within fifteen (15) days of a Request, the parties will appoint a
single Mediator.   Such appointment shall be made as set forth in Paragraph 3.4
below.





                                       3
   4
         3.4.    The Mediator shall be selected from the Panel in the following
manner.  Within five (5) days of receipt of the Request or, in the case of a
Panel constituted according to Paragraph 5.2, within five (5) days of receipt
of the list of persons comprising the Panel, the parties shall meet to attempt
to agree upon a particular Mediator.  If the parties are unable to agree, each
party shall cross off from the list any Panel member it deems unacceptable and
attach in writing a numerical preference (with the numeral 1 representing most
preferred) to the remaining persons, provided, however, that neither party may
cross off one-half or more of the number of persons on the Panel.  The Mediator
shall be the person who (1) has not been crossed off the list by either party,
and (2) receives the lowest numerical score when the written preferences of the
parties are added together.  In the event of a tie, the Mediator shall be
chosen by lot from among those persons receiving the same numerical score.

         3.5.    No person shall serve as a Mediator in any Dispute in which
the person has any financial or personal interest, except by the written
consent of the parties.  Prior to accepting an appointment, the prospective
Mediator shall disclose any circumstances likely to create a presumption of
bias or prevent a prompt meeting with the parties.  If, in the opinion
of either party, such circumstances disqualify the Mediator to serve,   another
Mediator shall be appointed within fifteen (15) days of one party's giving
notice to the other that the first Mediator is disqualified.  The appointment
shall be made in the same manner as that described in Paragraph 3.4 above.





                                       4
   5
         3.6.    If one party fails to participate in the selection of the
Mediator within the time specified, such party shall be deemed to agree to
the selection of any member of the Panel and to authorize the other
party to take any actions necessary to appoint a Mediator.  Any Mediator thus
appointed shall have all the powers conferred by this Section 3.

         3.7.    Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 3.11 below, either party
may select persons of its choice to be corporate representatives at the
mediation proceedings, excepting however that outside counsel shall not be
permitted to attend or participate in the mediation proceedings.

         3.8.    Subject to the requirement that all mediation proceedings 
shall take place in Louisville, Kentucky unless otherwise agreed by the
parties, the Mediator shall fix the time and place of each mediation session,
the first such session to be scheduled not more than thirty (30) days after
appointment of the Mediator, unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

         3.9.    At least five (5) days prior to the first scheduled mediation
session, each party shall provide the Mediator and the other party with: (i) a
summarized statement of position; (ii) all relevant documentation regarding
factual basis and liability; and (iii) all relevant documentation regarding the
amount in dispute or the damages asserted.  Each party is expected to 
produce all information which may be reasonably required by the Mediator to
understand the issues presented.

         3.10.   Excepting only with respect to those Disputes identified in
Paragraph 2.1 above, the Mediator has no authority to impose a





                                       5
   6
settlement but will assist the parties in reaching a satisfactory resolution of
the Dispute.  The Mediator is authorized to conduct joint and separate
meetings with the parties and to make oral and written recommendations for
settlement.  The Mediator is further authorized to obtain expert advice
concerning technical aspects of the Dispute, provided the parties agree and
assume the expenses of obtaining such advice.

        3.11.   Only the parties may attend any mediation session, unless the
parties and the Mediator consent to the attendance of other person(s).

        3.12.   Information disclosed to the Mediator by the parties or by 
witnesses, as well as all documents received, during the course of the
mediation shall be maintained as confidential by the Mediator.

        3.13.   The parties and the Mediator shall maintain the
confidentiality of the mediation and shall not rely upon or introduce
as evidence in any arbitral, judicial or other proceeding (i) any views
expressed or proposals made by the other party or Mediator, (ii) admissions
made by the other party or (iii) settlement proposals and discussions
made by either party or the Mediator during the course of the mediation.  The
Mediator shall not be compelled to divulge such records or to testify in regard
to the mediation in any adversary proceeding or judicial forum.

        3.14.   The mediation shall be terminated upon the happening of any of
the following: (i) by the execution of a settlement agreement by the
parties; (ii) by written declaration of the Mediator that further efforts
at mediation are no longer worth-





                                       6
   7
while;  (iii) by a written declaration of one or both parties that the
mediation proceedings are terminated; or (iv) by the passage of thirty (30) days
after the first mediation session, unless the parties otherwise agree in
writing.

         3.15.   Upon termination of mediation proceedings by reason of
settlement, the parties shall execute all documents necessary to effect the
settlement upon the agreed terms and conditions.  Such settlement shall
constitute a binding contract of the parties and shall be enforceable as
provided in Paragraph 6.1 below.

         3.16.  Upon termination of mediation proceedings under Paragraph
3.14(ii), (iii) or (iv) above, and with respect to Disputes identified in
Paragraph 2.2 above, the parties shall initiate arbitration proceedings as set
forth in Section 4 below.

         3.17.  With respect to Disputes identified in Paragraph 2.1 above,
upon termination of mediation proceedings under Paragraph 3.14(ii), (iii) or
(iv) above, the Mediator shall arbitrate the Dispute in one of the following
methods, as determined by the Mediator: (i) issue a binding award based upon the
information previously provided by the parties; (ii) request additional written
position statements and documentation from the parties upon which a binding
award will issue; or (iii) schedule and conduct an expedited hearing in a
manner which permits a fair presentation of the case by the parties,
such hearing to be completed in one day and upon which a binding award will
issue.  The Mediator shall issue a binding award with respect to such Disputes
no later than ten (10) days after termination of mediation proceedings under
Section 3.14(ii), (iii) or (iv), unless the parties otherwise agree in
writing.  Fees and





                                       7
   8
expenses of the mediation shall be shared equally by the parties unless the
Mediator determines that the position or conduct in the mediation was
frivolous or uncooperative, in which case the Mediator may apportion such
fees or expenses as the Mediator sees fit.

         3.18.  An award of the Mediator issued under Paragraph 3.17 above
shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction as provided in
Section 6.1 hereof.  The parties hereby expressly agree that the validity or
enforceability of any such award shall not be challenged in judicial
proceedings for any reason other than fraud in the conduct of the arbitration
proceedings resulting in such award.

         4.      ARBITRATION.

         4.1.    Either party to a Dispute identified in Paragraph 2.2 above
which has not been settled or resolved through mediation may initiate   
arbitration by serving notice of a Demand for Arbitration ("Demand") upon the
other party.  Such Demand shall contain a statement setting forth its claim and
the nature of the dispute, the amount involved and, if any, the remedy sought. 
If so desired, the party upon whom the Demand is made may serve an answering
statement within seven (7) days upon the other party.  If a counterclaim is
asserted it shall contain a statement setting forth the nature of the
counterclaim, the amount involved, if any, and the remedy sought. If no answer
is filed within the stated time, it will be assumed that the claim is denied. 
Failure to file an answer shall not operate to delay the arbitration.





                                       8
   9
         4.2.    If either party subsequently desires to make any new or
different claim, such claim shall be made in writing and served upon the other
party who shall have seven (7) days from the date of service within which to
answer.  After the Arbitrator is appointed, however, no new or different
claim may be submitted except with the consent of both parties.

         4.3.    Within fifteen (15) days of receipt of a Demand the parties
will appoint a single Arbitrator.  Such appointment shall be made as set forth
below.

         4.4.    The Arbitrator shall be selected from the Panel from which the
Mediator in the case was selected.  Within five (5) days of receipt of a
Demand, the parties shall meet to attempt to agree upon a particular
Arbitrator.  If the parties are unable to agree, each party shall cross off
from the list any Panel member (including the Panel member who served as
Mediator in the case) it deems unacceptable and attach in writing a numerical
preference (with the numeral 1 representing most preferred) to the remaining
persons, provided, however, that neither party may cross off one-half or more of
the number of persons on the panel.  The Arbitrator shall be the person who (1)
has not been crossed off the list by either party, and (2) receives the lowest
numerical score when the written preferences of the parties are added together.
In the event of a tie, the Arbitrator shall be chosen by lot from among those
persons receiving the same numerical score.

         4.5.    No person shall serve as an Arbitrator in any Dispute in which
the person has any financial or personal interest, except by the written
consent of the parties.  Prior to accepting an





                                       9
   10
appointment, the prospective Arbitrator shall disclose any circumstances likely
to create a presumption of bias or prevent a prompt meeting with the parties.
If, in the opinion of either party, such circumstances disqualify the
Arbitrator to serve, another Arbitrator shall be appointed within
fifteen (15) days of one party's giving notice to the other that the first
Arbitrator is disqualified.  The appointment shall be made in the same manner
as that described in Paragraph 4.4 above.

         4.6.    All arbitration proceedings shall take place in
Louisville, Kentucky, unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing.
The Arbitrator shall schedule a pre-hearing conference, of which each party
shall have at least five (5) days' advance notice, to arrange for an exchange
of information and a stipulation to uncontested facts to expedite
the arbitration proceedings.  Such pre-hearing conference shall be held within
thirty (30) days of the appointment of the Arbitrator.  At the pre-hearing
conference, the parties will produce relevant documents, identify witnesses to
be called, schedule further hearings and consider any other matters which will
expedite the arbitration proceedings.  At the pre-hearing conference, the
Arbitrator, at the request of either party, shall have the authority to direct
the production of any relevant documents or exhibits not produced.  Failure to
make production after such direction may subject the non-producing party to the
same penalties as failure to respond to a subpoena as set forth in Section
4.14.  Further hearings, including presentation of all evidence and
post-hearing briefs, shall be completed within thirty (30) days of the
pre-hearing conference unless the Arbitrator





                                       10
   11
determines that more time is necessary to enable both parties to present their
cases fairly.  Any such determination shall be in writing, shall include a
reasoned explanation, and shall fix a date certain for closing the hearings.

        4.7.    If one party fails to participate in the selection of the
Arbitrator within the time specified, such party shall be deemed to agree
to the selection of any member of the Panel and to authorize the other party to
take any actions necessary to appoint an Arbitrator.  Any Arbitrator thus
appointed shall have all the powers conferred by this Section 4.

        4.8.    Any party may be represented by counsel.  A party intending
to be so represented shall notify the other party at the earliest possible
date, but in any event no later than the date of appointment of the Arbitrator.

        4.9.    A verbatim record, through audiotape, shall be kept of the
proceedings.  Any party wishing a stenographic record shall make arrangements
directly with the stenographer and shall notify the other party of such
arrangements in advance of the hearing. The requesting party shall pay the cost
of such record.

        4.10.   The Arbitrator shall maintain the privacy of the hearings.  Any
person having a direct interest in the arbitration is entitled to attend 
the hearings; otherwise, the Arbitrator shall have the power to require
the exclusion of any witness, other than a party or other essential person,
during the testimony of any other witness.

        4.11.  Unless the law provides to the contrary, the arbitration may
proceed in the absence of any party which, after due





                                       11
   12
notice, fails to be present or fails to obtain an adjournment.  An award shall
not be made solely on the default of a party and the Arbitrator shall require
the party who is present to submit such evidence as the Arbitrator may require
for the making of an award.

         4.12.   The Arbitrator may adjourn the proceedings upon the request of
a party or upon the Arbitrator's own initiative, but the Arbitrator shall make
such adjournment only when all of the parties agree thereto.

         4.13.   The hearing shall be opened by the filing of the oath of the
Arbitrator, where required, and by the recording of the place, time and
date of the hearing, acknowledgement of the presence of the Arbitrator
and the parties, and counsel, if any, and by the receipt of the Arbitrator of
the statement of claim and answer, if any.  The Arbitrator may also ask for
statements clarifying the issues involved.  The complaining party shall
first present its claim and proofs and its witnesses, who shall submit to
questions or other examination, including cross-examination by the other party.
The defending party shall then present its defense and proofs and its
witnesses, who shall submit to questions or other examination, including
cross-examination by the other party. The Arbitrator may require witnesses
to testify under oath administered by a duly qualified person.  If required
by law or if either party so demands, the Arbitrator shall require witnesses to
testify under oath administered by a duly qualified person.

         4.14.  The Arbitrator shall afford full and equal opportunity to all
parties for the presentation of any material or relevant proofs.  Exhibits,
when offered by either party, may be received in





                                       12
   13
evidence by the Arbitrator.   The names and addresses of all witnesses and
exhibits in the order received shall be made a part of the record.  The parties
may offer such evidence as is relevant and material to the Dispute and shall
produce such additional evidence as  the  Arbitrator may deem necessary to an
understanding and determination of the Dispute.  The Arbitrator may subpoena
witnesses or documents upon the request of any party, or independently.
Failure to produce documents subject to subpoena may be grounds  for a ruling
in favor of the other party or a negative inference against the party failing
to produce, in the Arbitrator's discretion.  The Arbitrator shall be the sole
judge of the relevance and materiality of the evidence offered and conformity
to legal rules of evidence shall not be necessary.   The Arbitrator shall also
be the sole judge with respect to any procedural disputes between the parties.
All evidence shall be taken in the presence of the Arbitrator and of
the parties, except for any party which has waived the right to be present or
failed to be present or to obtain an adjournment within the meaning of
Paragraph 4.11.

         4.15.   Upon the statements of the parties that they have no further
proof to offer nor witnesses to be heard or upon the expiration of the time
set pursuant to Paragraph 4.6, the Arbitrator shall declare the hearings closed
and a minute thereof shall be recorded. If post-hearing briefs  are to be
filed,  the hearing  shall be declared closed as of the date set by the
Arbitrator for receipt of briefs.  If it has been agreed upon by the parties
at the hearing that additional documents shall be filed, such documents shall
be





                                       13
   14
filed as of the date set for the receipt of briefs.  The time limit within
which the Arbitrator is required to make the award shall commence to run, in
the absence of other agreement by the parties, upon the closing of the hearing.

         4.16.   The parties may provide, by written agreement, for the waiver
of oral hearings with respect to any particular Dispute. When the parties have
so agreed, the Arbitrator shall decide the issue based upon written
documentation and briefs submitted by each party.

         4.17.   Any party who proceeds with arbitration after knowledge that
any provision or requirement of this Agreement has not been complied with and
who fails to state objection thereto in writing, shall be deemed to have waived
the right to object.

         4.18.   Unless both parties have been given notice and an opportunity
to participate, there shall be no communication between one or both parties and
the Arbitrator other than at oral hearings.

         4.19.   The award shall be made promptly by the Arbitrator, but in no
event later than fifteen (15) days from the date of the closing of the
hearings, or if oral hearings have been waived, from the date of transmitting
the final statements and proofs to the Arbitrator.  The Arbitrator shall
also provide the parties a written explanation within sixty (60) days
from the date of the closing of the hearings.

         4.20.   The award shall be in writing,  signed by the Arbitrator, and
shall be executed in the manner required by law.

         4.21.   The Arbitrator may grant any remedy or relief which the
Arbitrator deems just and equitable and within the scope of the





                                       14
   15
agreement of the parties including specifically, but not limited to, injunctive
relief and specific performance of a contract.  The Arbitrator may not award
consequential, exemplary, incidental, punitive or special damages.  In any
award involving money damages, the Arbitrator shall award both
pre-arbitration and post-arbitration interest.  Interest shall be at the
prime rate as published from time to time by Chemical Bank, unless the
agreement which is the subject of the Dispute provides otherwise.  Fees and
expenses of the arbitration shall be shared equally by the parties unless the
Arbitrator determines that the position or conduct in the arbitration was
frivolous or uncooperative, in which case the Arbitrator may apportion such
fees or expenses as the Arbitrator sees fit.

         4.22.   If the parties settle their dispute during the course of the
arbitration, the Arbitrator, upon their request, may set forth the terms of
the agreed settlement in an award.

         4.23.  An award of the Arbitrator issued hereunder shall be
enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction as provided in Section 6.1
hereof.  The parties hereby expressly agree that the validity or
enforceability of any such award shall not be challenged in judicial
proceedings for any reason other than fraud in the conduct of the arbitration
proceedings resulting in such award.

         5.      CREATION OF PANEL.

         5.1.    Following the execution of this agreement, the parties shall
use their best efforts to agree upon a list of five (5) or seven (7) persons to
constitute a panel from which Mediators and





                                       15
   16
Arbitrators shall thereafter be drawn.  This list, which may be amended by
the written agreement of both parties, shall be attached hereto as Tab B.

         5.2.    If the parties have not agreed upon a list as provided in
Paragraph 5.1 prior to the initiation of mediation by either party to a
Dispute, the party requesting mediation shall, unless both parties otherwise
agree in writing, request the New York office of the Judicial Arbitration &
Mediation Services, Inc. to provide a list of seven (7) persons able to serve
as Mediator or Arbitrator.  This list shall constitute the Panel for both
mediation and arbitration of that Dispute unless the parties otherwise agree in
writing.  If after following the procedures specified in Sections 3 and 4 above
a Mediator or Arbitrator cannot be appointed from this list, the parties shall
request additional lists from the New York office of the Judicial Arbitration &
Mediation Services, Inc. as necessary. 

         6.      JURISDICTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS.

For the purpose of determining earnings in the calculation of the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings (losses) have been increased (reduced) by the provision (benefit) for income taxes and fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense on borrowings and one-third (the proportion deemed representative of the interest portion) of rents. (A) Earnings were inadequate to cover fixed charges by $139 million, $146 million and $6 million for the years ended December 31, 1992, August 31, 1992, and August 31, 1990, respectively. The deficiency for the years ended December 31, 1992, and August 31, 1992 was caused by the recording of $171 million (pre-tax) of restructuring and unusual charges in August 1992.

The selected financial data of the Company in this Annual Report sets forth certain information with respect to the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows and should be read in conjunction with the following discussion and analysis. INTRODUCTION - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ On March 1, 1993, Humana Inc. ("Humana" or the "Company") separated its acute-care hospital and managed care health plan businesses into two independent publicly-held companies (the "Spinoff"). The Spinoff was effected through the distribution to Humana stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 1, 1993, of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of a new hospital company, Galen Health Care, Inc. ("Galen"). Galen was subsequently merged, through an unrelated transaction, with a subsidiary of Columbia Healthcare Corporation (now Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation) ("Columbia") and, therefore, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Columbia. The Humana Inc. legal entity continues to operate the health plan business. Because of the relative significance of the acute-care hospital business to Humana prior to the Spinoff, the Spinoff was recorded as a discontinuance of the health plan business in the historical consolidated financial statements of pre-Spinoff Humana. For this reason, the historical consolidated financial statements of pre-Spinoff Humana became the historical consolidated financial statements of Galen. The financial information contained herein for periods prior to the Spinoff represents the financial information of what had historically been the health plan business of Humana and does not correspond with or represent the historical financial information of Humana. In conjunction with the Spinoff, the Company changed its fiscal year end from August 31 to December 31. This action was taken because, among other reasons, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to regulations which require the periodic reporting of financial information on a calendar year basis and because many of the contracts between the Company and its customers are on a calendar year basis. For purposes of comparability, the following discussion of "Results of Operations" compares the year ended December 31, 1993, to the twelve months ended December 31, 1992 (the "year ended December 31, 1992"), and the year ended August 31, 1992, to the year ended August 31, 1991. The Company offers managed health care products which integrate financing and management with the delivery of health care services through a network of providers who share financial risk or who have incentives to deliver cost-effective medical services. These products are marketed primarily through health maintenance organizations ("HMOs") and preferred provider organizations ("PPOs"). Humana's HMO and PPO products are primarily marketed to employer and other groups ("Commercial") and Medicare-eligible individuals. The products marketed to Medicare-eligible individuals are either HMO products that provide health care services which include all Medicare benefits and, in certain circumstances, additional health care services that are not included in Medicare benefits ("Medicare risk") or indemnity insurance policies that supplement Medicare benefits ("Medicare supplement"). COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Years Ended December 31, 1993 and 1992 In order to enhance comparability, the following discussion comparing the year ended December 31, 1993, to the year ended December 31, 1992, excludes the impact of the $171 million in restructuring and unusual charges recorded in August 1992. With respect to these charges, $77 million was used to write-down assets, and $42 million was used to pay restructuring and unusual costs. The remaining $52 million, primarily related to contract disputes, product discontinuances and market closures, is expected to be resolved within two to three years. The asset write-downs discussed above had the effect of reducing depreciation and amortization expense by $5 million for the year ended December 31, 1993. Management regularly evaluates the continued reasonableness of the charges discussed above, and to the extent adjustments are necessary, earnings are charged or credited in the current period. The Company's premium revenues increased 9% to $3.1 billion for the year ended December 31, 1993, compared to $2.9 billion for the year ended December 31, 1992, due to Commercial product premium rate increases of 7% and Medicare risk product premium rate increases of 14%. Commercial and Medicare risk product premium increases during 1994 are projected to range between 3% and 4%. The impact of the 1993 premium rate increases on premium revenues was partially offset by the membership reductions discussed below. Membership data for the respective periods follows:
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Amounts in thousands 1993 1992 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beginning membership 1,685.0 1,673.7 Sales 267.9 280.8 Acquisitions (divestitures) (6.4) 79.9 Cancellations (308.1) (349.4) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ending membership 1,638.4 1,685.0 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Average membership 1,637.9 1,699.4 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
19 4 Membership declined 3% during the year ended December 31, 1993, primarily due to a decline in Medicare supplement product membership. This decline was the result of management's decision to increase Medicare supplement product premium rates effective January 1, 1993, to more closely approximate competitive levels. Commercial product membership increased during the third and fourth quarters of 1993 as medical cost improvements allowed the Company to be more competitive in its pricing. The increase in Commercial product membership in the last six months of 1993 offsets the decline in Commercial product enrollment during the first six months of 1993. The decline resulted primarily from the Company's pricing policy which attempted to maintain operating margins during a period when the Company's cost structure was high. Medicare risk membership levels remained relatively constant during 1993. The medical loss ratio for the year ended December 31, 1993, was 83.8% compared to 86.3% for the year ended December 31, 1992. Principal factors contributing to the improvement in the medical loss ratio included Medicare product premium rate increases, improved hospital utilization and favorable other medical services costs experience in the Commercial and Medicare risk products. Because 1994 premium rate increases are projected to range from 3% to 4%, additional improvements in hospital and other medical services costs are necessary to achieve further reductions in the medical loss ratio. The administrative cost ratio was 13.2% and 14.1% for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The improvement in the administrative cost ratio is attributable to the impact of 1992 work force reductions and an emphasis by management in controlling administrative costs. Interest income totaled $48 million for the year ended December 31, 1993, compared to $36 million for the year ended December 31, 1992. The increase in interest income is attributable to interest being earned on notes receivable and cash payments from Galen received in connection with the Spinoff. The notes were repaid in September 1993. Tax equivalent yield on invested assets approximated 6% and 8% for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Tax equivalent yield is the rate earned on invested assets, excluding unrealized gains and losses, adjusted for the benefit of nontaxable investment income. The Company's income before income taxes totaled $143 million for the year ended December 31, 1993, compared to income of $17 million (excluding the impact of the previously mentioned restructuring and unusual charges) for the year ended December 31, 1992. Years Ended August 31, 1992 and 1991 In order to enhance comparability, the following discussion comparing the year ended August 31, 1992, to the year ended August 31, 1991, excludes the impact of the $171 million in restructuring and unusual charges recorded in August 1992. The Company's premium revenues increased 24% to $2.8 billion for the year ended August 31, 1992, compared to $2.2 billion for the year ended August 31, 1991, due to the effect of acquisitions as well as Commercial product premium rate increases of 11% and Medicare risk product premium rate increases of 5%. Membership data for the respective periods follows:
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amounts in thousands 1992 1991 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beginning membership 1,661.1 1,172.1 Sales 292.8 364.1 Acquisitions 61.4 339.1 Cancellations (311.6) (214.2) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ending membership 1,703.7 1,661.1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average membership 1,690.6 1,479.1 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Excluding acquisitions, enrollment declined slightly during the year ended August 31, 1992, due primarily to management's decision to continue pricing its products at levels which attempted to maintain operating margins. Management also believes that enrollment was adversely affected by the economic recession during this period. In August 1992, the Company recorded restructuring and unusual charges amounting to $171 million primarily in connection with the board of directors' decision to effect the Spinoff. Included in these restructuring and unusual charges were write-downs of $77 million related to the impairment of operational and administrative assets, $79 million primarily related to contract disputes, product discontinuances and anticipated market closures, and $15 million related to costs associated with the Spinoff from Galen. The medical loss ratio for the year ended August 31, 1992, was 86.0% compared to 84.4% for the year ended August 31, 1991. The deterioration in the medical loss ratio resulted primarily from increased utilization of hospital and other medical services costs in the Medicare risk product. The administrative cost ratio was 14.7% and 16.1% for the years ended August 31, 1992, and August 31, 1991, respectively. The improvement in the administrative cost ratio was primarily a result of the increase in premium revenues during these periods. Interest income totaled $37 million for the year ended August 31, 1992, compared to $36 million for the year ended August 31, 1991. The tax equivalent yield on invested assets approximated 8% in 1992 and 9% in 1991. Excluding restructuring and unusual charges, the Company's income before income taxes totaled $7 million for the year ended August 31, 1992, compared to $14 million for the year ended August 31, 1991. 20 5 LIQUIDITY - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net cash provided by operations for the year ended December 31, 1993, totaled $185 million compared to $124 million for the year ended December 31, 1992. The improvement in 1993 operating cash flows is a result of increased net income, improved premiums receivable collections, and the timing of payments for medical costs and other expenses. In addition, net cash provided by operations for the year ended December 31, 1992, was reduced due to a payment to the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") of taxes and interest totaling $91 million of disputed amounts for fiscal years 1988 and 1989, primarily related to the current deductibility of medical costs payable. For the year ended August 31, 1992, net cash used by operations totaled $57 million compared to cash provided by operations of $66 million for the year ended August 31, 1991. The decline resulted primarily from the timing of the receipt of Medicare risk premiums, changes in other operating assets and liabilities and the payment to the IRS. The Company's current assets exceeded current liabilities by $231 million at December 31, 1993. At December 31, 1992, the Company's current liabilities exceeded current assets by $245 million. The increase in working capital resulted, in part, from the $383 million in cash contributions from Galen and the improvement in operating cash flows described above. In addition, a portion of the increase is due to management's re-evaluation of the balance sheet classification of marketable securities. At December 31, 1993, the Company reclassified its marketable securities in conjunction with the implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." Marketable securities are now classified based upon management's intent regarding the ultimate use of these securities. Marketable equity and debt securities available for current operations are classified in the balance sheet as current assets while securities held for non-current uses, such as, acquisitions, capital spending and funding of professional liability risks are classified as long-term assets. Prior to December 31, 1993, marketable securities were classified in the balance sheet based upon their contractual maturity. Management believes that existing working capital and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet future liquidity needs. The Company's subsidiaries operate in states which require certain levels of equity and regulate the payment of dividends to the parent company. As a result, the Company's ability to use operating subsidiaries' cash flows is restricted to the extent that the subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends to its parent company requires regulatory approval. At December 31, 1993, the Company had approximately $247 million of unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. CAPITAL RESOURCES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Company's ongoing capital expenditures relate primarily to medical care facilities used by either employed or affiliated physicians as well as administrative facilities and related computer information systems necessary for activities such as claims processing, billing and collections, medical utilization review and customer service. Total capital expenditures amounted to $28 million, $34 million, $47 million and $107 million for the years ended December 31 , 1993, December 31, 1992, August 31, 1992, and August 31, 1991, respectively. Excluding acquisitions, planned capital spending in 1994 will approximate $40 to $45 million, most of which will relate to the expansion and improvement of medical care facilities and equipment. Management believes that its capital spending program is adequate to expand, improve and equip its existing markets. During the year ended December 31, 1992, the Company acquired three HMOs with approximately 80,000 members for $38 million. During the year ended August 31, 1991, the Company acquired three HMOs with approximately 339,000 members for $60 million. In addition, the Company acquired an HMO in Washington, D.C., with approximately 125,000 members for $55 million on February 28, 1994. The Company may make acquisitions from time to time and is currently reviewing various acquisition opportunities. On January 12, 1994, the Company entered into a $200 million line of credit with a group of banks which will be available, in addition to the Company's $247 million of unrestricted cash, to pursue acquisition and expansion opportunities. The health care industry is changing and consolidating rapidly, providing significant growth potential. As a result, management intends to retain operating cash flows and available cash for acquisition and expansion opportunities and has no current plans to initiate the payment of dividends. EFFECTS OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Company's operations are regulated by various state and federal government agencies. Actuarially determined premium rate increases for Commercial and Medicare supplement products generally must be approved by the respective state insurance commissions, while increases in premiums for Medicare risk products are determined by the Health Care Financing Administration ("HCFA"). Medicare risk premiums approximated 41%, 39%, 39% and 40% of the Company's premium revenues for the years ended December 31, 1993, December 31, 1992, August 31, 1992, and August 31, 1991, respectively. Effective January 1, 1994, the average rate of increase under the Medicare risk contract was approximately 3%. Although annual increases have varied significantly, increases have averaged approximately 7% over the last five years, including the increase of January 1994. 21 6 Effective with the consummation of the Spinoff, the Company entered into a three-year operating agreement with Galen whereby the Company will use the services of Galen's hospitals guaranteeing certain minimum utilization levels. The rate increases charged for such services are defined under the terms of the agreement. Commercial product rate increases for hospital services are limited to the lesser of the increase in the hospital component of the U.S. Consumer Price Index or the Company's Commercial product premium rate increases, less one percent. The Medicare risk product rate increases for hospital services are equal to the percentage adjustment in HCFA's market specific hospital payment rate to the Company. During the years ended December 31, 1993, December 31, 1992, August 31, 1992, and August 31, 1991, 16%, 18%, 18% and 20%, respectively, of the Company's total medical costs were incurred in Galen hospitals. OTHER INFORMATION - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Company's Medicare risk contracts with the federal government are renewed for a one-year term each December 31 unless terminated 90 days prior thereto. The loss of these contracts or significant changes in the Medicare program, including reductions in payments or increases in benefits without corresponding increases in payments, would have a material adverse effect on the revenues, profitability and business prospects of the Company. Congress is in the process of evaluating a number of legislative proposals that would effect major changes in the United States health care system. Among the proposals under consideration are government imposed cost controls, measures to increase the availability of group health insurance coverage to employees, and the creation of statewide health alliances that would cover individuals and families not enrolled in large employer health plans. Legislative reform, if any, is not anticipated before the latter part of 1994 and implementation of any reform package could take several additional years. In general, managed care is being considered as a means by which health care costs may be reduced. Although management believes the Company is well positioned to take advantage of the opportunities which will be afforded by health care reform, it is not possible to predict the final form these proposals will take or the affect these proposals may have on the Company. In addition to federal reform, various states in which the Company operates have implemented or are in the process of implementing changes in the delivery of health care. Again, it is not possible to predict the final form these proposals will take or the effect these changes may have on the Company. Resolution of various loss contingencies, including litigation pending against the Company in the ordinary course of business, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations. Net cash provided by operating activities in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows for the four month period ended December 31, 1992, includes the receipt of five Medicare risk premium payments. 22 7

The accompanying notes are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements. 26 11 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Humana Inc. 1. REPORTING ENTITY Basis of Presentation On March 1, 1993, Humana Inc. ("Humana" or the "Company") separated its acute-care hospital and managed care health plan businesses into two independent publicly-held companies (the "Spinoff"). The Spinoff was effected through the distribution to Humana stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 1, 1993, of all the outstanding shares of common stock of a new hospital company, Galen Health Care, Inc. ("Galen"). Galen was subsequently merged, through an unrelated transaction, with a subsidiary of Columbia Healthcare Corporation (now Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation)("Columbia") and, therefore, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Columbia. The Humana Inc. legal entity continues to operate the health plan business. Because of the relative significance of the acute-care hospital business to Humana prior to the Spinoff, the Spinoff was recorded as a discontinuance of the health plan business in the historical consolidated financial statements of pre-Spinoff Humana. For this reason, the historical consolidated financial statements of pre-Spinoff Humana became the historical consolidated financial statements of Galen. The consolidated financial statements contained herein are the separate financial statements of what had historically been the health plan business of Humana and do not correspond with or represent the historical consolidated financial statements of Humana. In conjunction with the Spinoff, the Company changed its fiscal year end from August 31 to December 31. This action was taken because, among other reasons, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to regulations which require the periodic reporting of financial information on a calendar year basis and because many of the contracts between the Company and its customers are on a calendar year basis. For the fiscal years ended August 31, 1992, and prior, certain allocations and estimates have been made by management in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to present the results of operations of the Company as a separate entity. The operating results of the Company for the years ended August 31, 1992, and prior, include corporate costs and net interest expense which were not previously allocated between the Company and Galen. Corporate costs include shared administrative costs such as management information systems, financing, recruiting, personnel development, accounting, legal advice, public relations, marketing, insurance, purchasing, and risk and quality management. Total costs allocated to the Company were $94 million and $85 million for the years ended August 31, 1992 and 1991, respectively. Net interest expense amounting to $12 million and $11 million for the years ended August 31, 1992 and 1991, respectively, has also been allocated to the Company and relates primarily to disputed income tax issues in connection with current deductibility of medical costs payable. (See Note 5) Organization and Operations The Company operates health maintenance organizations ("HMOs") and preferred provider organizations ("PPOs") which provide managed care services to commercial customer groups and individuals eligible for the Medicare Program under contractual agreements between the Company and the Health Care Financing Administration. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include all subsidiaries of the Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash, money market funds, commercial paper and certain U.S. Government securities with an original maturity of three months or less. Marketable Securities The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 ("SFAS No.115"), "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," effective December 31, 1993. The adoption of SFAS No. 115 resulted in an increase in stockholders' equity of $4 million. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1992, was not restated to give effect to the adoption of this statement. At December 31, 1993, marketable equity and debt securities have been categorized as available for sale and as a result are stated at fair value. Marketable equity and debt securities available for current operations are classified in the balance sheet as current assets while securities held for non-current uses, such as acquisitions, capital spending and funding of professional liability risks are classified as long-term assets. Unrealized holding gains and losses are included as a component of stockholders' equity until realized. At December 31, 1992, marketable equity securities were stated at the lower of aggregate cost or market, while marketable debt securities were carried at amortized cost which approximated market. 27 12 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Humana Inc. Premium Revenue Recognition Premium revenues are reported as revenues in the period in which members are entitled to receive managed care services. Premiums received prior to such period are recorded as unearned premium revenues. Property and Equipment Property and equipment is carried at cost and is comprised of the following at December 31, 1993 and 1992:
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dollars in millions 1993 1992 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Land $ 25 $ 23 Buildings 224 193 Equipment 248 218 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 497 434 Accumulated depreciation (197) (144) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ 300 $ 290 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives generally ranging from three to 25 years. Depreciation expense was $35 million, $34 million, $34 million and $22 million for the years ended December 31, 1993, December 31, 1992, August 31, 1992, and August 31, 1991, and $12 million for the four months ended December 31, 1992. Cost in Excess of Net Tangible Assets Acquired Cost in excess of net tangible assets acquired represents the unamortized excess of the cost over the fair value of net tangible assets acquired, which is amortized on a straight-line basis over periods of expected benefit, which generally have been seven to 14 years. Accumulated amortization totaled $30 million and $59 million, as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Medical Costs Medical costs include claim payments and estimates of future payments to be made for medical claims incurred prior to the balance sheet date. Estimates of future payments relating to services incurred in current and prior periods are continually reviewed by management, and to the extent necessary, adjustments are reflected in current operations. In addition to medical claims, the Company pays physician salaries and capitation costs. Capitation costs represent monthly prepaid fees paid to participating primary care physicians and other medical specialists for the provision of medical care to the Company's members. Income Taxes The provision for income taxes reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended August 31, 1992, and prior, represents the Company's proportionate share of historical Humana's income tax expense which approximates the expense which would have been recognized had the Company and Galen filed separate tax returns. The adoption by the Company, effective September 1, 1991, of the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," did not have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. Common Stock At the time of the Spinoff, the market value of common stock of historical Humana was adjusted to give effect to the distribution to Humana stockholders of all the outstanding common stock of Galen. The market values of the Company and Galen common stock on March 1, 1993, were $7 3/4 and $12 1/8, respectively. (See Note 1) At December 31, 1992, historical Humana had 158,855,196 shares of common stock outstanding. Common Stockholders' Equity Equity of the Company, prior to the Spinoff, resulted from the cumulative net income or loss of the health plan business as well as funding from Galen. Therefore, pre-Spinoff equity is referred to as "Equity Funding" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of common stockholders' equity. Earnings per Common Share A 3-for-2 stock split of Humana common stock was distributed in August 1991. Retroactive recognition has been given to this split in the consolidated financial statements and notes. Earnings per common share are based upon the weighted average number of Humana common shares outstanding. Shares used in computing earnings per common share were 159,283,680, 158,619,551, 158,490,279 and 157,359,253, for the years ended December 31, 1993, December 31, 1992, August 31, 1992, and August 31, 1991, respectively and 158,777,886 for the four months ended December 31, 1992. Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1993 financial statement presentation. 28 13 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Humana Inc. 3. RESTRUCTURING AND UNUSUAL CHARGES In August 1992, the Company recorded restructuring and unusual charges amounting to $171 million primarily in connection with the board of directors' decision to effect the Spinoff. Included in these restructuring and unusual charges were write-downs of $77 million related to impairment of operational and administrative assets, $79 million primarily related to contract disputes, product discontinuances and anticipated market closures, and $15 million related to costs associated with the Spinoff from Galen. With respect to the these charges, $77 million was used to write-down assets as described above, and $42 million was used to pay restructuring and unusual costs. The remaining $52 million, primarily related to contract disputes, product discontinuances and market closures is expected to be resolved within two to three years. Management regularly evaluates the continued reasonableness of these charges, and to the extent adjustments are necessary, earnings are charged or credited in the current period. 4.

Cumulative temporary differences which give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 1993 and 1992, were as follows:
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Assets Assets (Liabilities) (Liabilities) Dollars in millions 1993 1992 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Medical costs payable $112 $ 86 Depreciation (19) (18) Deferred compensation 7 4 Accrued interest 6 4 Doubtful accounts 7 7 Restructuring and unusual charges 17 27 Other 15 20 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ $145 $130 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Management believes that the deferred tax assets will ultimately be realized based primarily on the existence of sufficient taxable income within the allowable carryback periods. During 1992, the Company paid the IRS $91 million, including interest, of disputed amounts for fiscal years 1988 and 1989, primarily related to the current deductibility of medical costs payable. The Company is currently pursuing a favorable resolution of this issue. At December 31, 1993, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $32 million related to a 1992 acquisition. These loss carryforwards, if unused to offset future taxable income of the acquired subsidiary, will expire in the years 2000 through 2007. 30 15 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Humana Inc. 6. PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY RISKS The Company insures substantially all professional liability risks through a wholly-owned subsidiary (the "Captive Subsidiary") which was incorporated in January 1993. Prior to the formation of the Captive Subsidiary, professional liability risks were insured by a subsidiary of Galen. In connection with the Spinoff, the Captive Subsidiary and the Galen subsidiary effected a loss portfolio reinsurance agreement (the "Reinsurance Agreement") whereby the Captive Subsidiary indemnified the Galen subsidiary, subject to aggregate limits, against all liabilities incurred by the Galen subsidiary related to professional liability risks of the Company prior to September 1, 1993. As a result of the Captive Subsidiary entering into the Reinsurance Agreement, all Company professional liability risks recorded on the financial statements of the Galen subsidiary were transferred to the Captive Subsidiary in February 1993. Provisions for such risks, including expenses incident to claim settlements, were $13 million, $12 million, $11 million and $8 million for the years ended December 31, 1993, December 31, 1992, August 31, 1992, and August 31, 1991, respectively, and $4 million for the four months ended December 31, 1992. The Captive Subsidiary reinsures levels of coverage for losses in excess of its retained limits with unrelated insurance carriers. Allowance for professional liability risks and the equivalent amounts of marketable securities related to the funding thereof included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet were $50 million at December 31, 1993. 7. LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS Long-term obligations at December 31, 1993 and 1992, include a note payable of $2 million and $20 million to the State of Florida Department of Insurance (the "Department") related to the 1987 acquisition of a health plan which was being held in receivership by the Department at the time it was acquired by the Company. Other long-term obligations include professional liability risks and capital lease obligations. In connection with the Spinoff, Galen assumed substantially all of historical Humana's long-term debt outstanding at the time of the Spinoff; however, the Company remains contingently liable as guarantor for approximately $55 million of this debt. On January 12, 1994, the Company entered into an unsecured credit agreement with a group of banks which provides for a $200 million revolving line of credit (the "Credit Agreement") expiring January 12, 1997. Principal amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement will bear interest, depending on average borrowings over a six-month period, at rates ranging from LIBOR plus 32.5 basis points to LIBOR plus 57.5 basis points. The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default and covenant terms. 8. COMMON STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY For accounting purposes, the historical equity of the Company at the time of the Spinoff consisted of the cumulative net income or loss, as well as the net assets contributed by Galen. In connection with the Spinoff, Galen contributed $135 million of cash and a hospital with a book value of $25 million to the Company. Also in connection with the Spinoff, certain subsidiaries of Galen issued promissory notes (the "Notes") to the Company. Under the terms of the Notes, the full principal amount of $250 million became due upon certain "change of control" transactions. As a result of the Columbia acquisition of Galen, the Company received $248 million in cash in full satisfaction of the Notes. The Company has plans under which options to purchase common stock have been granted to officers, certain directors and key employees. Options were granted at not less than market price on the date of grant. Exercise provisions vary, but most options are exercisable in whole or in part beginning one to three years after grant and ending 10 years after grant. In connection with the Spinoff and Columbia transactions, each Humana employee who held options in Humana prior to the Spinoff retained his options to purchase Company stock and also received a like number of first Galen and subsequently Columbia options for which the exercise price and number of shares were adjusted based upon the terms of the Spinoff and acquisition transactions. The percentages used to adjust the exercise price for the Spinoff, which were based on the relative market values of the underlying Company and Galen common stock for a specified period after the Spinoff, were 37.8% and 62.2%, respectively. In addition, each Galen and subsequently Columbia employee maintained options to purchase Company shares at the adjusted exercise price. The Columbia options held by Humana employees and the Company options held by Columbia employees expire on the earlier to occur of (a) two years from the date of the Spinoff or (b) the expiration of the exercise period of the original option. The following shares of common stock of the Company, including 7,000,000 shares representing increases in the number of authorized shares under the Company's stock option plan subject to stockholder approval, were reserved on a pro-forma basis at December 31, 1993:
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stock option plans 12,211,459 Thrift and retirement plans 5,059,589 Other 2,063,859 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19,334,907 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company's option plan activity for the years ended December 31, 1993, August 31, 1992, and August 31, 1991, and the four months ended December 31, 1992, are summarized below. Included in the 1993 grant of 6,467,500 options are 3,837,000 options which were issued on a conditional basis, subject to stockholder approval. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares Option Price Under Per Share Option (See Note 2) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance, August 31, 1990 4,563,303 $ 3.12 to $12.12 Granted 896,475 9.64 to 11.90 Exercised (2,067,397) 3.12 to 8.65 Cancelled or lapsed (33,557) 4.32 to 11.01 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance, August 31, 1991 3,358,824 3.88 to 12.12 Granted 817,650 8.91 to 10.73 Exercised (659,288) 3.88 to 11.01 Cancelled or lapsed (31,871) 4.32 to 11.01 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance, August 31, 1992 3,485,315 4.32 to 12.12 Exercised (135,195) 4.32 to 6.87 Cancelled or lapsed (6,300) 11.01 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance, December 31, 1992 3,343,820 4.32 to 12.12 Granted 6,467,500 6.56 to 14.44 Exercised (967,446) 4.32 to 11.01 Cancelled or lapsed (324,139) 6.56 to 12.12 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance, December 31, 1993 8,519,735 $ 4.32 to $14.44 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At December 31, 1993, options for 2,124,889 shares were exercisable. Shares of common stock available for future grants were 3,691,724, which include 3,312,500 shares conditional upon stockholder approval to increase the authorized shares under the Company's stock option plans. As a result of current and pending state regulatory requirements, the Company must maintain various levels of equity in certain of its subsidiaries, which limits the Company's ability to pay dividends. At December 31, 1993, $148 million of equity was restricted under these regulations. 9. CONTINGENCIES During the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to pending and threatened legal actions. In addition, for periods prior to the Spinoff, the Company assumed liability for specified claims and continues to share risks with Galen with respect to certain litigation and other contingencies, both identified and unknown, existing at the time of the Spinoff. Management of the Company does not believe that any of these actions will have a material adverse effect on its operations or financial position. The Company's Medicare risk contracts with the federal government are renewed for a one-year term each December 31 unless terminated 90 days prior thereto. The loss of these contracts or significant changes in the Medicare risk program, including reductions in payments or increases in benefits without corresponding increases in payments, would have a material adverse effect on the revenues, profitability and business prospects of the Company. 32 17 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Humana Inc. 10. ACQUISITIONS During the year ended December 31, 1992, the Company acquired three HMOs with approximately 80,000 members for $38 million. During the year ended August 31, 1991, the Company acquired three HMOs with approximately 339,000 members for $60 million. Each of the above acquisitions and certain other minor acquisitions were accounted for by the purchase method. The total cost in excess of net tangible assets acquired for all acquisitions totaled approximately $50 million and is being amortized over periods of expected benefit, which generally have been seven to 14 years. The results of operations associated with all the previously mentioned acquisitions have been included in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations since the date of the respective acquisitions. The Company acquired an HMO in Washington, D.C., with approximately 125,000 members for $55 million on February 28, 1994. 11. TRANSACTIONS WITH GALEN The Company and Galen entered into various agreements in connection with the Spinoff. These agreements include a hospital services operating agreement, liability and tax sharing agreements and various administrative services agreements. Total medical costs incurred by the Company for hospital services provided by Galen amounted to $426 million, $444 million, $434 million and $368 million for the years ended December 31, 1993, December 31, 1992, August 31, 1992, and August 31, 1991, and $150 million for the four months ended December 31, 1992. At December 31, 1993 and 1992, medical costs payable to Galen totaled $50 million and $35 million, respectively. Interest income on amounts due from Galen was $8 million, $12 million, $13 million and $10 million for the years ended December 31, 1993, December 31, 1992, August 31, 1992, and August 31, 1991, and $4 million for the four months ended December 31, 1992. REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the Board of Directors and Stockholders Humana Inc. We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Humana Inc. as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related statements of operations, common stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1993, December 31, 1992, August 31, 1992, and August 31, 1991, and for the four month period ended December 31, 1992. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Humana Inc. as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1993, December 31, 1992, August 31, 1992, and August 31, 1991, and for the four month period ended December 31, 1992, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, Humana Inc. adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," effective September 1, 1991, and the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," effective December 31, 1993. COOPERS & LYBRAND Louisville, Kentucky January 31, 1994 33 18 QUARTERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Humana Inc. In conjunction with the Spinoff, the Company changed its fiscal year end from August 31 to December 31. This action was taken because, among other reasons, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to regulations that require the periodic reporting of financial information on a calendar year basis and because many of the contracts between the Company and its customers are on a calendar year basis. The quarterly information represented below is on the same basis as the Company's Form 10-Qs filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. A summary of the Company's quarterly results of operations follows:
