has occurred and no condition exists that could reasonably be expected to
result in the ActaMed 401(k) Plan losing its status as a qualified,
standardized prototype plan. The ActaMed 401(k) Plan will be amended to
address the transfer of accounts from the UHC 401(k) Plan including the
preservation of all Section 411(d)(6) optional forms of benefits available to
the Hired Employees or Hired Hold-Over Employees under the UHC 401(k) Plan,

payment of account balances that are not transferred. However, as provided

-xl-
Shares (and the Conversion Shares) and shall terminate and expire, with

first anniversary of the Closing Date.
9.3 OBLIGATION OF UHC TO INDEMNIFY. Subject to the limitations of
SECTIONS 9.1 and 9.8, UHC agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each ActaMed
Indemnitee against and in respect of:
(a) all Losses, asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by any
ActaMed Indemnitee by reason of or resulting from:
(1) a breach of any representation or warranty of UHC or the
Company contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement; or
(2) any nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement of UHC or
the Company contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement;
(b) any and all actions, suits, claims, proceedings, investigations,
demands, assessments, audits, fines, judgments, costs and other expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses) incident to
any Loss in connection with SECTION 9.3(a) or to the enforcement of this SECTION

ActaMed Indemnitee by reason or resulting from:
(1) any and all costs, judgments, claims, actions at law or in
equity, interest charges and reasonable attorneys' fees with respect to any
cause of action or proceeding, by any participant or dependent or beneficiary of
any participant, arising out of or by reason of the sponsorship by any member of

(3) any Litigation pending or threatened as of the Closing Date,
or Litigation arising out of events which occurred prior to the Effective Time,

SCHEDULE 4.20 or any other Schedule attached to ARTICLE 4 hereto.
9.4 OBLIGATION OF ACTAMED AND SUBCORP TO INDEMNIFY. Subject to the
limitations of SECTIONS 9.1 and 9.8, ActaMed and SubCorp agree to indemnify and
hold harmless each UHC Indemnitee against and in respect of:
(a) all Losses asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by any UHC
Indemnitee by reason of or resulting from:
-xli-
(1) a breach of any representation or warranty of ActaMed or
SubCorp contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement; or
(2) any nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement of the

(b) any and all actions, suits, claims, proceedings, investigations,
demands, assessments, audits, fines, judgments, costs and other expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses) incident to
any Loss in connection with SECTION 9.4(a) or to the enforcement of this SECTION
9.4.
9.5 CLAIMS NOTICE. A Claim shall be made by any Indemnitee by delivery
of a Claims Notice to any Indemnifying Party requesting indemnification and
specifying the basis on which indemnification is sought and the amount of
asserted Losses and, in the case of a Third Party Claim, containing (by
attachment or otherwise) such other information as such Indemnitee shall have
concerning such Third Party Claim.
9.6 PROCEDURES INVOLVING NON-THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. If the Claim
involves a matter other than a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party
shall have forty-five (45) days to object to such Claim by delivery of a
written notice of such objection to such Indemnitee specifying in reasonable
detail the basis for such objection. If an objection is timely interposed by
the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee shall
cooperate in the compromise of the Claim. Failure to object in a timely
manner shall constitute a final and binding acceptance of the Claim by the
Indemnifying Party on behalf of all Indemnitors, and the Claim shall be paid
in accordance with SECTION 9.10 hereof.
9.7 PROCEDURES INVOLVING THIRD PARTY CLAIMS.
The obligations and liabilities of the parties hereunder with respect to a
Third Party Claim shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a) The Indemnitee shall give the Indemnifying Party written notice
of a Third Party Claim promptly after receipt by the Indemnitee of notice
thereof, and the Indemnifying Party may undertake the defense, compromise and
settlement thereof by representatives of its own choosing reasonably acceptable
to the Indemnitee. The failure of the Indemnitee to notify the Indemnifying
Party of such claim shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability
that they may have with respect to such claim except to the extent the
Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the defense of such claim is prejudiced by
such failure. The assumption of the defense, compromise and settlement of any
such Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party shall be an acknowledgment of
the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to indemnify the Indemnitee with
respect to such claim hereunder. If the Indemnitee desires to participate in,
but not control, any such defense, compromise and settlement, it may do so at
its sole cost and expense. If,
-xlii-
however, the Indemnifying Party fails or refuses to undertake the defense of
such Third Party Claim within ten (10) days after written notice of such
claim has been given to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnitee, the
Indemnitee shall have the right to undertake the defense, compromise and
settlement of such claim with counsel of its own choosing. In the
circumstances described in the preceding sentence, the Indemnitee shall,
promptly upon its assumption of the defense of such claim, make a Claim as
specified in SECTION 9.5 which shall be deemed a Claim that is not a Third
Party Claim for the purposes of the procedures set forth herein.
(b) If, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnitee, any Third
Party Claim or the litigation or resolution thereof involves an issue or
matter which could have a material adverse effect on the business,
operations, assets, properties or prospects of the Indemnitee (including,
without limitation, the administration of the tax returns and
responsibilities under the tax laws of the Indemnitee), the Indemnitee shall
have the right to control the defense, compromise and settlement of such
Third Party Claim undertaken by the Indemnifying Party, and the reasonable
costs and expenses of the Indemnitee in connection therewith shall be
included as part of the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Party
hereunder. If the Indemnitee shall elect to exercise such right, the
Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, but not control,
the defense, compromise and settlement of such Third Party Claim at its sole
cost and expense.
(c) No settlement of a Third Party Claim involving the asserted
liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Article shall be made without the
prior written consent by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Party, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Indemnifying Party
assumes the defense of such a Third Party Claim, (1) no compromise or settlement
thereof may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnitee's
consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or
any violation of the rights of any person and no effect on any other claim that
may be made against the Indemnitee (B) the sole relief provided is monetary
damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and (C) the compromise
or settlement includes, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the
claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a release, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Indemnitee, from all liability in respect of such Third
Party Claim, and (2) the Indemnitee shall have no liability with respect to any
compromise or settlement thereof effected without its consent.
9.8 LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) No party to this Agreement shall be entitled to indemnification
under this Agreement to the extent that such party's Losses are increased or
extended by the willful misconduct, violation of law or bad faith of such party.
(b) No Indemnifying Party shall be required to indemnify an
Indemnitee with respect to any Loss arising out of or with respect to a General
Claim unless the amount of such Loss, when aggregated with all other such
Losses, shall exceed
-xliii-
the Threshold Amount (as defined below), at which time Claims may be asserted
to the extent that all Losses or Asserted Liabilities are in excess of the
Threshold Amount; provided, however, that the Threshold Amount shall not
apply to any Loss: (A) which results from or arises out of an Ownership
Claim, Tax Claim or Undisclosed Liability Claim, (B) which results from or
arises out of fraud or intentional misrepresentation or an intentional breach
of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement; or
(C) which results from or arises out of any Litigation incident to any of the
matters referred to in the foregoing clauses (A) and (B). The Threshold
Amount shall be One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, for any breach of SECTION 4.13, UHC shall indemnify each ActaMed
Indemnitee for any individual Loss in excess of $10,000 per item of tangible
personal property and any aggregate Loss exceeding $50,000 for items of
tangible personal property.
(c) In no event shall the aggregate liability of the Indemnifying
Party for any General Claim under this ARTICLE 9 exceed $10 million.
9.9 NO RELEASE FOR FRAUD. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall
relieve or limit the liability of any party or any officer or director of such
party from any Liability arising out of or resulting from common law fraud or
intentional misrepresentation in connection with the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement or in connection with the delivery of any of the Transaction
Documents. Each party shall have a right to indemnification for any Loss
incurred as the result of any common law fraud or intentional misrepresentation
by any other party or any officer or director of such other party without regard
to the Threshold Amount, the maximum liability or any period of limitation.
9.10 PAYMENT.
(a) If any party is required to make any payment under this
ARTICLE 9, such party shall promptly pay the Indemnified Party the amount so
determined. If there is a dispute as to the amount or manner of determination
of any indemnity obligation owed under this ARTICLE 9, the Indemnifying Party
shall nevertheless pay when due such portion, if any, of the obligation as shall
not be subject to dispute. The difference, if any, between the amount of the
obligation ultimately determined as properly payable under this ARTICLE 9 and
the portion, if any, theretofore paid shall bear interest as provided in
SECTION 9.10(c).
(b) Any items as to which an Indemnified Party is entitled to payment
under this ARTICLE 9 may be paid by set-off against amounts payable to the
Indemnifying Party to the extent that such amounts are sufficient to pay such
items.
(c) If all or part of any indemnification obligation under this
Agreement is not paid when due, then the Indemnifying Party shall pay the
Indemnified Party interest on the unpaid principal amount of the obligation from
the date the amount
-xliv-
became due until payment in full, at the per annum rate of interest announced
from time to time by NationsBank South, N.A., to be its "prime rate."
9.11 EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. Except for equitable remedies and any action for
common law fraud, the remedies provided in this ARTICLE 9 constitute the sole
and exclusive remedies for recovery against the Indemnifying Party based upon
this Agreement.
9.12 ARBITRATION. All disputes arising under this ARTICLE 9 (other than
claims in equity) shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the
Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.
Arbitration shall be by a single arbitrator experienced in the matters at issue
and selected by UHC and ActaMed in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration
Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall be held in
such place in Atlanta, Georgia as may be specified by the arbitrator (or any
place agreed to by UHC, ActaMed and the arbitrator). The decision of the
arbitrator shall be final and binding as to any matters submitted under this
ARTICLE 9; provided, however, if necessary, such decision and satisfaction
procedure may be enforced by either UHC or ActaMed in any court of record having
jurisdiction over the subject matter or over any of the parties to this
Agreement. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such
arbitration proceeding (including reasonable attorneys' fees) shall be borne by
the party against which the decision is rendered, or, if no decision is
rendered, such costs and expenses shall be borne equally by the Indemnifying
Party as one party and the Indemnitees as the other party. If the arbitrator's
decision is a compromise, the determination of which party or parties bears the
costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such arbitration proceeding
shall be made by the arbitrator on the basis of the arbitrator's assessment of
the relative merits of the parties' positions.
ARTICLE 10
TAX MATTERS
10.1. TAX INDEMNITIES.
(a) From and after the Closing Date, UHC shall indemnify ActaMed and
the Company against all Taxes (i) imposed on the Company with respect to any
taxable period or portion thereof that ends before or on (but includes) the
Closing Date (ii) imposed on UHC or any member of an affiliated group with which
UHC files a consolidated or combined income tax return (other than the Company)
with respect to any taxable period.
(b) From and after the Closing Date, ActaMed and Company shall
indemnify UHC against all Taxes imposed on the Company with respect to its
income, business, property or operations for any taxable period or portion
thereof that begins after the Closing Date.
-xlv
(c) For purposes of Sections 10.01(a) and (b), in the case of
Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period that begins before
the Closing Date and ends after the closing Date, the portion of any such Tax
that is allocable to the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date
shall: (i) in the case of Taxes that are either (x) based upon or related to
income or receipts of (y) imposed in connection with any sale, other transfer
or assignment or any deemed sale, transfer or assignment of property (real or
personal, tangible or intangible), be deemed equal to the amount which would
be payable if the taxable year ended on the Closing Date, and (ii) in the
case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis with respect to the assets of the
Company or otherwise measured by the level of any item, be deemed to be the
amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes
determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately
preceding period) multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the
number of calendar days in the portion of such period ending on the Closing
Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the
entire period. For purposes of clause (i) above, any exemption, deduction,
credit or other item that is calculated on an annual basis shall be allocated
to the period beginning before the Closing Date and, pursuant to clause (i)
treated as ending on the Closing Date, based on the pro rata portion of such
item determined by multiplying the total amount of such item times a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the period
up to and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the
total number of calendar days in the entire period.
10.2. RETURNS AND PAYMENTS.
(a) From the date of this Agreement through and after the Closing
Date, UHC shall prepare and file or otherwise furnish to the appropriate party
(or cause to be prepared and filed or so furnished) in a timely manner all Tax
returns, reports and forms ("RETURNS") with respect to the Company for any
taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date, and ActaMed shall do the
same for any taxable period ending after the Closing Date. With respect to any
Return required to be filed with respect to the Company after the Closing Date
and as to which an amount of Tax is allocable to UHC under Section 10.01(c),
ActaMed shall provide UHC and its authorized representatives with a copy of such
completed Return and a statement (including all necessary supporting schedules
and information required to support such statement) that certifies and sets
forth the calculation of the amount of Tax shown on such Return that is
allocable to UHC pursuant to Section 10.01(c) at least 30 days prior to the due
date (including any extension thereof) for the filing of such Return, and UHC
and its authorized representatives shall have the right to review such Return
and statement (including any supporting Schedules or other documents relevant
thereto) prior to the filing of such Return. UHC and ActaMed agree to consult
and to attempt in good faith to resolve any issues arising as a result of the
review of such Return and statement by UHC or its authorized representatives.
-xlvi-
(b) UHC and ActaMed shall each pay or cause to be paid when due and
payable all Taxes that have not been paid as of the Closing Date that are
allocable to them pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.01.
(c) Payment of any amounts due under this Article 10 shall be made
(i) with respect to agreed amounts, at least three calendar days before the
payment of any such Tax is due, provided that no such payment shall be due prior
to 10 business days following receipt of written notice that payment of such Tax
is due, or (ii) within 10 business days following either an agreement between
UHC and ActaMed that an amount is payable by UHC or ActaMed to the other or
within 10 business days of a "determination" as defined in section 1313(a) of
the Internal Revenue Code.
10.3 TAX AUDIT
(a) After the Closing, ActaMed shall promptly notify UHC in writing
of the commencement of any Tax audit or administrative or judicial proceeding
and shall also separately notify UHC in writing of any demand or claim on
ActaMed or the Company which, if determined adversely to the taxpayer or after
the lapse of time would be grounds for indemnification by UHC under this Article
10. Such notice shall contain factual information (to the extent known to
ActaMed or the Company) describing the asserted Tax liability in reasonable
detail and shall include copies of any notice or other document received from
any taxing authority in respect of any such asserted Tax liability. If ActaMed
fails to give UHC prompt notice of an asserted Tax liability as required by this
Section 10.03, then (a) if UHC is precluded by the failure to give prompt notice
from contesting the asserted Tax liability in the appropriate administrative or
judicial forums, then UHC shall not have any obligation to indemnify ActaMed for
any loss or damage arising out of such asserted Tax liability, and (b) if UHC is
not so precluded from contesting but such failure to give prompt notice results
in a detriment to UHC, then any amount which UHC is otherwise required to pay
ActaMed pursuant to this Article 10 with respect to such liability shall be
reduced by the amount of such detriment.
(b) UHC may elect to direct, through counsel of its own choosing and
at its own expense, any audit, or administrative or judicial proceeding
involving any asserted liability with respect to which indemnity may be sought
under this Article 10 (any such audit or proceeding relating to an asserted Tax
liability are referred to herein collectively as a "CONTEST"). If UHC elects to
direct the Contest of an asserted Tax liability, it shall within 30 calendar
days of receipt of the notice of an asserted Tax liability notify ActaMed of its
intent to do so, and ActaMed shall cooperate in good faith and shall cause the
Company or its successor to cooperate in good faith, at UHC's expense, in each
phase of such Contest. If UHC elects not to direct the Contest, fails to notify
ActaMed of its election as herein provided or contests its obligation to
indemnify under Section 10.01, ActaMed or the Company may pay, compromise or
contest, at its own expense, such asserted liability. However, in such case,
neither ActaMed nor the Company (including any designated representative of
either) may settle or compromise any asserted liability over the objection of
UHC; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that UHC's consent
-xlvii-
to settlement or compromise shall not be unreasonably withheld. In any
event, each of ActaMed (or the Company) and UHC may participate, at its own
expense, in the Contest. If UHC chooses to direct the Contest, ActaMed shall
promptly empower and shall cause the Company or its successor promptly to
empower (by power of attorney and such other documentation as may be
appropriate) such representatives of UHC as it may designate to represent
ActaMed or the Company or its successor in the Contest insofar as the Contest
involves an asserted Tax liability for which UHC would be liable under this
Article 10.
10.4. COOPERATION AND EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION. UHC and ActaMed will
provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them
reasonably may request of the other in filing any Tax return, amended return or
claim for refund, determining a liability for Taxes or a right to a refund of
Taxes or participating in or conducting any audit or other proceeding in respect
of Taxes. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of
relevant Tax returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules
and related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other
determinations by taxing authorities, but in no event shall UHC or ActaMed be
required to disclose to the other any information relating to the operations of
either, as the case may be, other than information relating to the Company. The
Seller and ActaMed shall make its employees available on a mutually convenient
basis to provide explanations of any documents or information provided
hereunder. UHC and ActaMed will retain all returns, schedules and work papers
and all material records or other documents relating to Tax matters of the
Company for its taxable period first ending after the Closing Date and for all
prior taxable periods until the later of: (i) the expiration of the statute of
limitations of the taxable periods to which such returns and other documents
relate, without regard to extensions except to the extent notified by the other
party in writing of such extensions for the respective Tax periods; or (ii)
eight years following the due date (without extension) for such returns. After
such time, before ActaMed shall dispose of any of such books and records, at
least 90 calendar days prior written notice to such effect shall be given by
ActaMed to UHC, and UHC shall be given an opportunity, at its cost and expense,
to remove and retain all or any part of such books and records as UHC may
select. Any information obtained under this Section 10.05 shall be kept
confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing
of returns or claims for refund or in conducting an audit or other proceeding.
10.5. TAX SHARING AGREEMENTS. UHC shall cause any tax-sharing agreements
or arrangements with the Company to be terminated as of the Closing Date, with
no amounts payable thereunder after the Closing other than those amounts payable
thereunder in respect of current tax payable accounts.
10.6. ARTICLE 9. The provisions of this Article 10 shall supersede the
provisions of Article 9 with respect to the matters set forth herein, except to
the extent explicitly referenced in this Article 10.
ARTICLE 11
-xlviii-
TERMINATION
11.1 METHOD OF TERMINATION. This Agreement and the transactions
contemplated by it may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date:
(a) by the mutual consent of UHC and ActaMed;
(b) by UHC, if ActaMed and SubCorp shall (1) fail to perform in any
material respect their agreements contained herein required to be performed by
any of them on or prior to the Closing Date, or (2) materially breach any of
their representations, warranties or covenants contained herein;
(c) by ActaMed, if UHC or the Company shall (1) fail to perform in
any material respect their agreements contained herein required to be performed
by any of them on or prior to the Closing Date, or (2) materially breach any of
their representations, warranties or covenants contained herein;
(d) by either UHC or ActaMed if there shall be any order, writ,
injunction or decree of any court or governmental or regulatory agency binding
on ActaMed, SubCorp, the Company or UHC, which prohibits or restrains ActaMed,
SubCorp, the Company and/or UHC from consummating the Merger, provided that
ActaMed, SubCorp, the Company and UHC shall have used their best efforts to have
any such order, writ, injunction or decree lifted and the same shall not have
been lifted within thirty (30) days after entry, by any such court or
governmental or regulatory agency;
(e) pursuant to SECTION 11.4; or
(f) without action of either party if the Closing has not occurred on
or before April 30, 1996.
11.2 NOTICE OF TERMINATION. Notice of termination of this Agreement, as
provided for in this ARTICLE 11, shall be given by the parties so terminating to
the other parties hereto in accordance with SECTION 14.1 of this Agreement.
11.3 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. If this Agreement terminates pursuant to
SECTION 11.1 (a), (d), (e) or (f), then this Agreement shall become void and of
no further force and effect, and each party shall pay the costs and expenses
incurred by it in connection with this Agreement as set forth in SECTION 6.14
and no party (nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,
representatives or shareholders) shall be liable to any other party for any
costs, expenses, damages (direct or indirect) or loss of anticipated profits.
11.4 RISK OF LOSS. The Company and UHC assume all risk of condemnation,
destruction, loss or damage due to fire or other casualty from the date of this
Agreement until the Closing. If the condemnation, destruction, loss, or damage
is such that the business of the Company is interrupted or curtailed or the
assets of the Company are
-xlix
materially affected, then ActaMed and SubCorp shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement. If ActaMed and SubCorp nonetheless elect to close,
the Company and UHC shall remit all net condemnation proceeds or third party
insurance proceeds to ActaMed and SubCorp and the number of shares of Series
C Preferred Stock to be delivered to UHC at the Closing shall be adjusted to
reflect such condemnation, destruction, loss, or damage to the extent that
insurance or condemnation proceeds are not sufficient to cover such
destruction, loss or damage. If ActaMed and SubCorp and UHC are unable to
agree upon the amount of such adjustment, the dispute shall be resolved
jointly by the independent accounting firms then employed by ActaMed and
SubCorp and the Company, and if said accounting firms do not agree, they
shall appoint a nationally recognized accounting firm, whose determination of
the dispute shall be final and binding.
ARTICLE 12

Substantial Holder or Affiliate or officer of ActaMed or a Substantial Holder

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER
THIS AMENDMENT (this "Amendment") to the Agreement and Plan of Merger
dated March 1, 1996 (the "Plan of Merger") is entered into this 4th day of
April, 1996, by and among ActaMed Corporation, EDI Acquisition, Inc., United
HealthCare Corporation and EDI Services, Inc. (formerly UHC Green
Acquisition, Inc.). Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined
shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan of Merger.
WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend the Plan of Merger as set
forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:
1. SECTION 1.2. The second sentence of Section 1.2 of the Plan of
Merger is hereby deleted and is replaced in its entirety by the following
sentence:
"Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Closing does not occur on the
first day of a month, then solely for financial accounting and reporting
purposes, the parties hereto agree that the transactions contemplated
herein shall be deemed to have closed as of the first day of the month
in which the Closing occurs or the last day of the preceding month, as
appropriate; provided that the parties hereto agree that for all other
purposes, including, without limitation, risk of loss, the Closing shall
occur, and shall be deemed to have occurred on the actual date of the
Closing."
3. SECTION 3.3. The following Section 3.3 is hereby added to the Plan
of Merger:
"3.3 BASIS OF ASSETS OF THE COMPANY. Actamed and UHC recognize and
agree that the prearranged transfer by UHC of the assets to the Company
in contemplation of and in connection with the sale of the stock of the
Company to Actamed is not a transaction described in Section 351 of the
Internal Revenue Code, that such transfer to the Company is taxable to
UHC as a taxable transfer of assets to the Company and the Company has a
fair market value basis in the assets received in the transfer from UHC
immediately prior to the time of the transaction contemplated hereby.
UHC and Actamed agree to report the foregoing transactions in a manner
consistent herewith. In addition, and in order to assure that Actamed
shall have a basis in the assets of the Company equal to the amount paid
pursuant to this Agreement, in lieu of the foregoing reporting and at
Actamed's request, Actamed and UHC will make a timely election under
Section 338(h)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code and any corresponding
elections under state or local tax law. Actamed and UHC shall cooperate
in taking all actions necessary to report the transaction as described
above, or at Actamed's request to effect the election, including the
execution and preparation of all forms, returns, elections and schedules
and other documents and instruments. Any allocation of basis among the
assets of the Company shall be initially prepared by UHC and consented
to by Actamed. Any such allocation shall, for tax purposes, be binding
on Actamed and UHC and no party shall take any position inconsistent
with such allocation. UHC and Actamed agree
that any liability for Tax arising out of or in any way attributable to
the sale or deemed sale of assets by UHC shall be for the sole account
of the UHC."
2. SECTION 4.1. The last sentence of Section 4.1 of the Plan of Merger is
hereby deleted and is replaced in its entirety by the following sentence:
"Substantially all of the assets required for the operation of the
Company Business were transferred to the Company on December 15, 1995,
and the Company did not have any operations prior to such date."
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned parties have executed this Amendment as
of the day and year first above written.
