| I. | AMENDMENTS |
| 1. | Section 21.4.1 shall be amended as follows: |
| 21.4.1 | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, because the parties have not completed the revision of the PMPM Payments by the expiration of the current rating period which ends on June 30, 2020 (the “Expired Rating Period”) such that the new rating period must commence without updated PMPM Payments, then the following shall occur: |
| (a) | ASES shall continue to pay Contractors at the PMPM Payment rates that existed during the Expired Rating Period; |
| (b) | As soon as practicable, but in no event more than thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Expired Rating Period, the parties shall complete in good faith the review of updated PMPM Payments (the “Updated PMPM Payments”). |
| (c) | Following agreement upon Updated PMPM Payments, the parties shall execute an amendment to Attachment 11 of the Contract setting forth the Updated PMPM Payments. Such amendment and the Updated PMPM Payments shall be effective as of July 1st, 2020 as if the Updated PMPM Payments had been agreed upon at the expiration of the Expired Rating Period, provided that, |
| (1) | Notwithstanding the foregoing, because Updated PMPM Payment rates are subject to CMS and FOMB approval, ASES will continue to pay Contractors at the PMPM Payment rates that existed during the Expired Rating Period until such time as CMS and the FOMB have approved the Updated PMPM Payments, and; |
| (2) | within thirty (30) calendar days following CMS’ and the FOMB’s approval of Updated PMPM Payment rates, the Parties shall begin to reconcile any difference between (i) PMPM Payments that ASES made to Contractors after the Expired Rating Period and (ii) Updated PMPM Payment rates. |
