Vendor Contracts (a) ASO Contracts, Group Insurance Policies, HMO Agreements, and Letters of Understanding (1) Before the Distribution Date, Acuity shall, in its sole discretion, take such steps as are necessary under each ASO Contract, Group Insurance Policy, HMO Agreement, letter of understanding, and arrangement in existence as of the date of this Agreement to permit SpinCo to participate in the terms and conditions of such ASO Contract, Group Insurance Policy, HMO Agreement, letter of understanding, or arrangement from Immediately after the Distribution Date through August 31, 2008. The methodology used to allocate costs between SpinCo and Acuity under such policies and arrangements prior to the Distribution Date shall remain the same after the Distribution Date. The participation by SpinCo in such policy or arrangement shall relate to the SpinCo Health and Welfare Plan and SpinCo shall have all fiduciary responsibilities under ERISA with respect to the participation by the SpinCo Health and Welfare Plan in such policies or arrangements. Alternatively, with respect to any of such policies or arrangements, Acuity may take such steps as are necessary to arrange for an ASO Contract, Group Insurance Policy, HMO Agreement, letter of understanding, or arrangement EMPLOYEE BENEFITS AGREEMENT covering SpinCo that mirrors substantively that covering Acuity. This mirror arrangement shall apply for all or a portion of such period, as necessary under the circumstances. Acuity, in its sole discretion, may cause one or more of its ASO Contracts, Group Insurance Policies, HMO Agreements, letters of understanding, and arrangements into which Acuity enters after the date of this Agreement to allow SpinCo to participate in the terms and conditions thereof. Nothing contained in this Section 5.2(a) shall preclude Acuity from choosing to enter into ASO Contracts, Group Insurance Policies, HMO Agreements, letters of understanding, or other arrangements with new or different vendors; provided, until August 31, 2008, Acuity shall give SpinCo advance notice of any decision to change or add vendors. Furthermore, nothing contained in this paragraph (1) shall require Acuity to use more than its reasonable best efforts in complying with the provisions of the first four sentences of this paragraph (1). (2) Acuity shall have the right to determine, and shall promptly notify SpinCo of, the manner in which SpinCo’s participation in the terms and conditions of ASO Contracts, Group Insurance Policies, HMO Agreements, letters of understanding and arrangements as set forth above shall be effectuated; provided, however, Acuity shall use its best efforts to accommodate any reasonable needs communicated to Acuity by SpinCo that relate thereto. Such terms and conditions shall include the financial and termination provisions, performance standards, methodologies, auditing policies, quality measures, reporting requirements, and target claims. SpinCo hereby authorizes Acuity to act on its behalf to extend to SpinCo the terms and conditions of the ASO Contracts, Group Insurance Policies, HMO Agreements, and letters of understanding and arrangements. SpinCo shall fully cooperate with Acuity in such efforts, and, for periods through August 31, 2008, SpinCo shall not perform any act or fail to take any action that would prejudice Acuity’s efforts and financial arrangements under the Health and Welfare Plans (other than taking reasonable steps to enter into replacement ASO Contracts, Group Insurance Policies, HMO Agreements, and letters of understanding and arrangements for periods after August 31, 2008).
Assigned Contracts Each Credit Party will secure all consents and approvals necessary or appropriate for the assignment to or for the benefit of Agent of any Assigned Contract and to enforce the security interests granted hereunder. Each Credit Party shall fully perform all of its obligations under each of its Assigned Contracts, and shall enforce all of its rights and remedies thereunder, in each case, as it deems appropriate in its business judgment. Such Credit Party shall notify Agent in writing, promptly after such Credit Party becomes aware thereof, of any event or fact which could give rise to a material claim by it for indemnification under any of its Assigned Contracts.

In any suit, proceeding or action brought by Agent under any Assigned Contract for any sum owing thereunder or to enforce any provision thereof, the Credit Parities shall indemnify and hold Agent and Lenders harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaims, recoupment, or reduction of liability whatsoever of the obligor thereunder arising out of a breach by such Credit Party of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing from the Credit Parties to or in favor of such obligor or its successors, except for such expenses, damages or losses resulting from Agent’s or any Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. All such obligations of the Credit Parties shall be and remain enforceable only against the Credit Parties and shall not be enforceable against Agent or Lender. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the Credit Parties shall at all times remain liable to observe and perform all of its duties and obligations under its Assigned Contracts, and Agent’s exercise of any of its rights with respect to the Collateral shall not release the Credit Parties from any of such duties and obligations. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be obligated to perform or fulfill any of any Credit Party’s duties or obligations under its Assigned Contracts or to make any payment thereunder, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment or property received by it thereunder or the sufficiency of performance by any party thereunder, or to present or file any claim, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance, any payment of any amounts, or any delivery of any property.
