If any inspection or evaluation is made by CIGNA or CMS on the premises of USPG or any of USPG’s suppliers, USPG or its suppliers shall provide at no additional charge all reasonable facilities and assistance for the safety and convenience of the personnel conducting the inspection or evaluation.

If NationsHealth or USPG (or NationsHealth or USPG and a third party or parties) is the sponsor or contractor, in a material capacity, for a CMS-approved PDP (the “NationsHealth PDP”), then NationsHealth shall have the right to match the terms and conditions of an offer acceptable to CIGNA from a third-party PDP sponsor for the assignment to such third party of CIGNA’s contract with CMS regarding the CIGNA PDP that CIGNA receives prior to CIGNA’s acceptance of such offer. CIGNA shall inform NationsHealth of any such offer within ten (10) days of CIGNA’s receipt of the offer and NationsHealth shall have a period of ten (10) days thereafter to notify CIGNA in writing that it matches or does not match the terms and conditions of the offer.

approved PDP (the “NationsHealth PDP”). CIGNA shall inform NationsHealth of such offer within ten (10) days of the CIGNA’s receipt of the offer, and NationsHealth shall a have a period of ten (10) days thereafter to notify CIGNA in writing that it matches or does not match the terms and conditions of the offer.

If NationsHealth matches the offer, CIGNA shall accept NationsHealth’s offer subject to any CMS or other requirements under law relating to the facilitation of the transfer of enrollees. If legally permissible, the Parties will effect such transfer of enrollment through Enrollee communications and any other activities necessary to support such transfer in accordance with the terms of any required CMS approval and applicable Law, including, without limitation, HIPAA, pursuant to which CIGNA shall provide NationsHealth and/or USPG with information on such Enrollees to the extent necessary to enable NationsHealth and/or USPG to market the NationsHealth PDP to such Enrollees.

(c) Option to Acquire Servicing Assets. In the event of a termination of this Agreement by CIGNA For Cause pursuant to subsections (a), (d), (e), or (f) of Section 5.04, above, or in the event that USPG and NationsHealth change their business operations such that they no longer offer the Services, then CIGNA shall have the option to acquire, which option must be exercised within thirty (30) days of the final date on which USPG renders Services pursuant to this Agreement, the assets required to deliver all or part of the Services described in Exhibits 1.02, 1.03, 1.04, 1.05, 1.06 and 1.07. CIGNA shall have the option to acquire such physical assets from USPG and/or NationsHealth at their fair market value.

NationsHealth and/or USPG will provide know how, expertise, and personnel resources to assist CIGNA, without cost to CIGNA, in replicating the functionality of such assets. Prior to the effective date of such termination, CIGNA may notify USPG or NationsHealth of CIGNA’s intent to exercise such option so that the transfer of such assets will occur simultaneously with the termination. Further, in the event of such termination, CIGNA shall have the option to acquire from USPG and/or NationsHealth, without cost to CIGNA, the intangible assets required to deliver all or part of the Services, including system specifications and configurations, software code, training and policy manuals, marketing plans and other information used by USPG or NationsHealth in the performance of the Services described in the foregoing exhibits through a grant by USPG and/or NationsHealth to CIGNA of a royalty-free perpetual license for such intangible assets to the extent of the authority of USPG and/or NationsHealth to grant such a license.

(d) No Loss of Rights in Cardholder Data; No Preclusion on Marketing by USPG and NationsHealth. No termination of this Agreement shall be deemed by CIGNA to constitute a transfer or assignment by USPG or NationsHealth to CIGNA of data developed by USPG or NationsHealth concerning participants in NationsHealth’s prescription card program or to constitute a prohibition on marketing activities by NationsHealth or USPG with respect to such participants.

SECTION 7.01 Survival of Representations and Warranties. Notwithstanding any investigation made by or on behalf of the Parties hereto, the results of any such investigation, or the knowledge of USPG or NationsHealth or knowledge of CIGNA (regardless of how obtained), the representations and warranties contained in Articles II and IV hereof and the indemnification obligations of the Parties with respect thereto, and the provisions of Article VIII, shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for a period of one (1) year following such expiration or termination, subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VII.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VII, CIGNA shall hold harmless and indemnify USPG and NationsHealth from any Losses that arise out of or result from (i) the breach of any representation or warranty of CIGNA under this Agreement, or (ii) the negligence or willful misconduct of CIGNA, its officers, employees and agents in the performance of CIGNA’s obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 7.03 Method of Asserting Third-Party Claims.

(a) As used in this Agreement, “Notifying Party” refers to any Party who claims entitlement to indemnification under Section 7.02 for losses resulting from a third-party claim. The “Indemnifying Party” refers to the Party obligated to indemnify the Notifying Party under Section 7.02.

(b) In the event any Notifying Party is made a defendant in or party to any claim instituted by any third party for which the Notifying Party may be entitled to indemnification under Section 7.02, the Notifying Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt notice thereof. The failure to give such notice shall not affect any Notifying Party’s ability to seek reimbursement unless, and only to the extent that, such failure has a detrimental effect on the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend successfully the claim. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to contest and defend such claim, provided that the Indemnifying Party: (i) has a reasonable basis for concluding that such defense may be successful; and (ii) diligently contests and defends such claim.

(c) Notice of the intention so to contest and defend shall be given by the Indemnifying Party to the Notifying Party within fifteen (15) business days after the Notifying Party’s notice of such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall use reputable attorneys of its choosing to conduct such contest and defense. The Notifying Party shall be entitled at any time, at its own cost and expense (which expense shall not constitute a Loss for which the Notifying Party can be indemnified under Section 7.02), to participate in such contest and defense and to be represented by attorneys of its own choosing. The Notifying Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice that it intends to participate in such contest and defense.

(d) If the Notifying Party elects to participate in such defense, the Notifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the conduct of the defense. Whether or not the Notifying Party elects to participate in such defense, neither the Notifying Party nor the Indemnifying Party may concede, settle or compromise any claim without notifying the other Party and without the Indemnifying Party’s consent if the settling party is the Notifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if: (i) a claim from a third party seeks relief in the form of a material obligation of the Notifying Party other than an obligation to pay monetary damages; (ii) the subject matter of a claim relates to the ongoing business of the Notifying Party, which claim, if decided against the Notifying Party, would adversely effect the ongoing business (including, without limitation, requiring any material change in the business practices of the Notifying Party) of the Notifying Party; or (iii) the Notifying Party would not be fully indemnified under Section 7.02 or released with respect to such claim, then, in each such case, the Notifying Party shall be entitled to contest and defend

CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. ASTERISKS DENOTE SUCH OMISSION.

such claim, the expense of which shall constitute a Loss for which the Notifying Party can be indemnified under Section 7.02 (and the Indemnifying Party may participate); provided, however, that any settlement or compromise shall require the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and, if the Notifying Party does not contest and defend such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall then have the right to contest and defend (but not settle) such third party claim.

(f) Any dispute between the Parties about the applicability of any Party’s indemnification rights or obligations under Section 7.02 or the method of asserting claims under this Section 7.03 shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions set forth in Article VIII.

SECTION 7.04 Limitations on Indemnification. Except as set forth in Article VIII, the rights set forth in Section 7.02 shall be each Party’s sole and exclusive remedies against the other Party hereto for any Losses. No Party shall be entitled to any recovery under this Agreement for its own special, consequential, incidental or punitive damages. The limitations set forth in this Section 7.04 shall not apply to any Losses that have resulted proximately from any fraudulent act of the Indemnifying Party or its directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives.

SECTION 7.05 Insurance. During the term of this Agreement, the Parties shall each maintain adequate insurance related to the operation of their respective businesses and their respective obligations under this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII
DISPUTE RESOLUTION

SECTION 8.01 Disputes. This Article VIII sets forth the sole source of remedies available to the Parties with regard to any and all disputes between them arising in connection with this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as “Disputes”) including all questions of arbitrability, the existence, validity, scope or termination of this Agreement or any term thereof; provided, however, that the Parties agree that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that a Party may, in its discretion, apply to a court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction located in a venue set forth in Section 10.09 for specific performance and injunctive relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of this Agreement and any Party against whom such proceeding is brought hereby waives the claim or defense that such Party has an adequate remedy at law and agrees not to raise the defense that the other Party has an adequate remedy at law. The Parties shall work together in good faith to resolve any and all Disputes.

SECTION 8.02 Commencing Arbitration. If the parties are unable to resolve any such Dispute or agree upon appropriate action within thirty (30) days following the date one Party sent written notice of the Dispute, or such other period of time as mutually agreed between the Parties, and if a Party wishes to pursue the Dispute, such Party may thereafter submit the Dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s Procedures for Large, Complex Commercial Disputes, as they may be amended from time to time (see http://www.adr.org). Any arbitration proceeding under this Agreement shall be conducted in Hartford, Connecticut. The arbitrator(s) may construe or interpret but shall not vary or ignore the

terms of this Agreement and shall be bound by controlling Law. The arbitrator(s) shall have no authority to award special, consequential, incidental or punitive damages.

SECTION 8.03 Decision Binding; Federal Arbitration Act. The decision of the arbitrator(s) regarding the Dispute will be binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The Parties acknowledge that because this Agreement affects interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act applies.

SECTION 8.04 Waiver; Survival. In the event any court determines that this arbitration procedure is not binding or otherwise allows litigation involving a Dispute to proceed, the Parties hereby waive any and all right to trial by jury in, or with respect to, such litigation.

•

The capabilities and functionalities to perform the Services described in Exhibits 1.03 through 1.06 including necessary information and reporting systems.

•

Necessary enhancements to NationsHealth and/or USPG systems and capabilities in order to comply with CIGNA policies, procedures, programs and other requirements that are reasonably necessary to support the PDP that have not been developed and/or communicated to NationsHealth or USPG as of the Effective Date of this Agreement.

•

EXHIBIT 3.01

INTERIM COMPENSATION

General Principles

The Parties, meaning CIGNA on one hand and USPG and/or NationsHealth on the other hand, intend to account for the activities described in this Agreement as if such activities constituted a separate line of business for purposes of sharing the financial effects of certain PDP-associated expense variances.

No Intent to Create Reinsurance

In agreeing to this arrangement, both parties have independently formed a belief that, in the event of a loss under any of CIGNA’s Part D contracts covered by this Agreement, this provision does not give rise to a contract for reinsurance against an underwriting loss by CIGNA. CIGNA shall bid its Part D Contracts intending to realize net profits and shall, to the extent necessary and permitted by CMS, charge an additional premium to eligible Enrollees in order to perform the Part D contracts profitably. The parties acknowledge that the unprecedented nature of the Medicare Part D product makes it impossible to predict the profitability of the Part D contracts with any certainty. If CMS, or any other Governmental Authority, were to determine that this profit and loss sharing arrangement constituted a form of reinsurance, the parties agree to negotiate, in good faith, an alternative compensation method that approximates the anticipated economic benefits or obligations of the Parties that will arise under this arrangement.

Interim Compensation

This Exhibit 3.01 provides that certain “Scheduled Marketing and Enrollment Expenses” (set forth in Attachment A) incurred by CIGNA and/or NationsHealth during the period February 20, 2006 through May 15, 2006 (or such later date to which CMS may extend the initial annual enrollment period for the 2006 plan year) are amortized over the period from the date incurred through December 2007, for purposes of determining the expenses to be deducted from Aggregate Actual Premium in determining the monthly Non-Claim Element Variance.

“Actual Aggregate Claims Cost” means actual PDP claims costs incurred by CIGNA or an Affiliate, net of adjustments required by CMS, including all pharmaceutical company-related revenues, such as rebates and any other revenues that may be received by CIGNA or an Affiliate as an offset to claims costs, and all appropriate reserves required by CMS.

NationsHealth Expense Advance Process

1.) Start-Up Months. Not later than 7 days prior to each Start-Up Month, CIGNA and NationsHealth will mutually agree to the expected level of NationsHealth Service Expenses for the upcoming Start-Up Month. CIGNA will make Advance Expense Payments to NationsHealth in two equal payments of 25 percent (25%) of this amount by the 7^th and 21^st of the corresponding Start-Up Month.

2.) Contract Year. Not later than the first business day of each month, NationsHealth will provide CIGNA with a current estimate of that month’s membership and expenses split between NationsHealth Service Expenses (excluding NationsHealth Marketing and Beneficiary Communication Expenses) and NationsHealth Marketing and Beneficiary Communication Expenses. CIGNA will take the NationsHealth current month expense estimate and reproject expenses for the remainder of the year. The projected annual NationsHealth Service Expenses (excluding NationsHealth Marketing and Beneficiary Communication Expenses) are then divided by the projected annual Expense and Profit Premium to calculate the Advance Expense Percentage. Not later than 5 days following the mutual agreement of the Advance Expense Percentage, CIGNA will make Advanced Expense Payments to NationsHealth of the amount of the product of the Advance Expense Percentage multiplied by the Expense and Profit Premium, net of CIGNA’s current estimate of Enrollee bad debt.

applicable law.

SERVICE LEVEL REQUIREMENTS


A.		GENERAL

These Service Level Requirements are an exhibit to the Amended and Restated Preferred Vendor Agreement dated May 26, 2006, (the “Agreement.”) NationsHealth shall perform the Services set forth in Article I (“Services and Obligations of USPG”) of the Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Service Levels set forth in Section B (“Service Levels”) hereof. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement

In accordance with the Agreement, services shall be performed, at a minimum, consistent with timeliness, accuracy and quality standards set forth in CMS instructions and guidelines. The Service Levels defined in these Service Level Requirements are specific to standards of timeliness, accuracy and quality in addition to, or in excess of, the standards that are set forth in the CMS instructions and guidelines. If CMS increases its requirements with respect to a Service Level set forth herein such that satisfaction of the Service Level will not meet the new CMS requirements, such Service Level shall automatically be amended to reflect the new requirements. In addition, should the performance of CMS, Argus Health Systems, Inc., State Pharmaceutical Assistance Programs, brokers or agents, or other organizations outside of NationsHealth’s control directly cause NationsHealth to fail to meet a Service Level, NationsHealth will be relieved from its obligation to meet such Service Level for so long as such performance by the organization persists and continues to cause such failure. Any organization which is a direct or indirect subcontractor of NationsHealth shall not constitute an organization which is “outside of NationsHealth’s control.”

Frequency of Determination: On a monthly basis, CIGNA will determine whether the performance of Services met the applicable Service Level Requirements.

and agents as USPG’s agent and attorney in fact, to act for and on USPG’ s and NationsHealth’s behalf and stead to execute and file any such application, registration, filing or other instrument, and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of such intellectual property rights, with the same legal force and effect as if executed by USPG or NationsHealth.

5.0 Continued Provision of Services

5.1 Business Continuation.. USPG and NationsHealth shall (a) within 180 days after the original Effective Date (May 4, 2005), develop a detailed disaster recovery and business continuation plan, including resource and infrastructure requirements that shall enable USPG and NationsHealth to provide the Services in accordance with this Agreement, (b) during the term of this Agreement, implement and comply with the disaster recovery and business continuation services described in this Exhibit 7.03 and the plans developed pursuant to sub-section (a) above and (c) test and successfully verify to CIGNA that the disaster recovery and business continuation plan is fully operational and capable of restoring operations so that USPG or NationsHealth is providing the Services as contemplated in this Agreement. Upon the discovery by USPG or NationsHealth of a disaster or business interruption, USPG or NationsHealth shall promptly provide CIGNA and the impacted CIGNA entities with a notice of a disaster or business interruption or otherwise affecting the provision or receipt of the Services.

5.2 Implementation of Plan and Restoration of Services. In the event of a disaster or business interruption (including a Force Majeure Event, as defined below), USPG and NationsHealth shall implement or cause to be implemented the disaster recovery and business continuation plan. In the event USPG and NationsHealth do not implement, or cause to be implemented, the disaster recovery and business continuation plan and restore the Services in accordance with such plan as set forth in this Exhibit CIGNA may terminate this Agreement in whole or in part, for cause upon notice to USPG and NationsHealth without regard to any cure period and CIGNA may pursue any and all available rights and remedies. In the event of a disaster, USPG shall not increase its charges under this Agreement or charge any CIGNA entity usage fees in addition to the fees to be paid under this Agreement.

5.3 Force Majeure. If and to the extent that the performance by CIGNA or USPG or NationsHealth (an “Affected Party”) of any of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement, as applicable, is prevented, hindered or delayed directly by an act of God, riot, war, earthquake, acts of terrorism by public enemy, strikes, lockouts or labor disputes or any other similar cause beyond the reasonable control of such Affected Party (excluding labor disputes or strikes involving a Party’s own personnel) (each, a “Force Majeure Event”), and such non-performance, hindrance or delay could not have been prevented by reasonable precautions, then the Affected Party shall be excused for such hindrance, delay or non-performance, as applicable, of those obligations affected by the Force Majeure Event for as long as such Force Majeure Event continues and the Affected Party continues to use commercially diligent efforts to recommence performance whenever and to whatever extent reasonably possible without delay, including through the use of alternate sources, workaround plans or other means; provided, however, that the use of such alternate sources, workaround plans or other means shall cease, upon the cessation of the Force Majeure Event. For so long as a Force Majeure Event continues, the non-Affected Party shall, upon the Affected Party’s reasonable request cooperate with the Affected Party. The Affected Party shall immediately notify the other Party of the occurrence of the Force Majeure Event and describe in reasonable detail the nature of the Force Majeure Event. The occurrence of a Force Majeure Event does not excuse, limit or otherwise affect USPG’s obligation to provide either normal recovery procedures or any other disaster recovery services, except to the extent that such procedures or services are directly affected by such Force Majeure Event. For the avoidance of doubt but without limiting the foregoing, each party shall be deemed in breach of this Agreement for failures to perform its obligations other than failures due to Force Majeure Events.

5.4 Alternate Source. If and for so long as any Force Majeure Event prevents, or substantially hinders or delays, the performance of any critical Service for longer than the recovery period specified in the applicable disaster recovery and business continuation plan, CIGNA may procure part or all of the Services from an alternate source (after consultation with USPG) in which case CIGNA shall have no obligation to compensate USPG for the Services for time period that the Services, or part of them, are procured from an alternate source.

EXHIBIT 11.01

SERVICING PROCEDURES

To allow CIGNA to effect a smooth transition in the provision of Services under the Strategic Agreement the following servicing procedures shall be implemented.

Source Code Escrow: NationsHealth and CIGNA will arrange for a third party escrow agent at CIGNA’s expense. NationsHealth shall place in escrow the source code of the NationsHealth- developed software programs the (“Source Code”) used by NationsHealth in connection with the performance of the Services under the Agreement (the “Software.”) Upon the occurrence of the Triggering Event (defined below), the escrow agent will release the Source Code to CIGNA upon CIGNA’s written request, at no additional cost to CIGNA. NationsHealth shall update the escrowed Source Code daily unless CIGNA specifies less frequent updates.

Back-Up Site Setup and Operation: NationsHealth agrees to replicate the PDP member servicing capabilities and member servicing database to a back-up site under CIGNA’s ownership or control. CIGNA shall procure the back-up site, and pay for all direct and indirect expenses and costs associated with the procurement, management and maintenance of the back-up site. NationsHealth and/or USPG will provide know-how, expertise, and personnel resources to assist CIGNA, without cost to CIGNA, in replicating the functionality of the member servicing capabilities and member servicing database.

Back-Up Site Testing: CIGNA shall have the right to periodically test the PDP member servicing functions operating at the back-up site to verify the site’s readiness.

Triggering Event: The Triggering Event shall be deemed to have taken place upon the occurrence of a “For Cause” termination event as described in Section 5.04(e) of the Strategic Agreement, or in the event that USPG and NationsHealth no longer offer the Services.

Servicing Transition: Upon the occurrence of the Triggering Event, CIGNA may commence production use of the backup site and perform the Part D member servicing functions without further notice to, or consultation with, NationsHealth and without electing to terminate this Strategic Agreement.

Grant of License: NationsHealth hereby grants to CIGNA, at no additional cost to CIGNA, a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, royalty-free license to use one complete copy of the Software, including the Source Code once released from escrow upon the occurrence of the Triggering Event, used by NationsHealth in connection with the performance of the Services under the Strategic Agreement to enable CIGNA to perform the Services for its own benefit as described in this Exhibit 11.01. As between NationsHealth and CIGNA, CIGNA acknowledges that the Software and Source Code are the sole and exclusive property of NationsHealth and that CIGNA has no rights in the Software and Source Code except those

expressly granted by the Strategic Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the license described herein shall survive the termination of the Strategic Agreement.

Telephone Number Transitioning: Upon the occurrence of the Triggering Event CIGNA shall have the right to instruct NationsHealth to port the Part D member servicing 800 numbers to CIGNA. CIGNA shall then control the routing of these 800 numbers.

Servicing Staff Continuity: CIGNA and NationsHealth agree to allow CIGNA to employ up to 10 NationsHealth Part D member services agents to facilitate the continuous provision of the Services. These member services agents shall continue to perform Part D member services on the NationsHealth database under the direction of NationsHealth. Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, CIGNA may employ up to 10 other personnel of NationsHealth to facilitate the continuous provision of the Services. In such event, NationsHealth agrees to waive any applicable non-competes with respect to such personnel.
