Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On December 30, 2010, CVS Caremark Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“CVS Caremark”), Universal American Corp., a New York corporation (“Universal American”), and Ulysses Merger Sub, L.L.C., a New York limited liability company and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of CVS Caremark (“Purchaser”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”).  The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, Purchaser will merge with and into Universal American (the “Merger”), with Universal American surviving the Merger as a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of CVS Caremark.  Prior to the Merger, Universal American will transfer its non-Medicare Prescription Drug businesses, including its Medicare Advantage and Traditional Insurance businesses, to a newly-formed company (“NewCo”), as further described below, and Universal American’s shareholders will receive shares in NewCo as a portion of the consideration payable in the Merger (the “Split-Off”).  After giving effect to the Merger and the Split-Off, CVS Caremark will have acquired Universal American’s Medicare Prescription Drug Business, and Universal American’s non-Medicare Prescription Drug operations will be continued by NewCo as a separate company.
 
At the effective time of the Merger, each share of common stock of Universal American, par value $0.01 per share, outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive (i) the cash consideration described below and (ii) one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of NewCo.  The Merger is subject to (i) the approval of the holders of 66 2/3% of Universal American’s outstanding common stock, (ii) the receipt of all regulatory approvals, including antitrust, and (iii) certain other customary closing conditions.
 
The aggregate amount of cash consideration payable to the shareholders of Universal American will be determined prior to the effective time of the Merger in accordance with a formula set forth in the Merger Agreement.  The initial aggregate cash consideration of $1.25 billion will be increased by an amount determined to be excess capital in Pennsylvania Life Insurance Company, the principal entity that operates Universal American’s Medicare Prescription Drug business, as of December 31, 2010, and decreased by the amount of Universal American’s outstanding debt and trust preferred securities and certain other amounts.  The resulting aggregate cash consideration will be divided by the number of issued and outstanding shares of Universal American’s common stock to arrive at the per share cash consideration payable in the Merger.
 
In connection with the entry into the Merger Agreement, Universal American, NewCo and CVS Caremark entered into a Separation Agreement dated as of December 30, 2010, pursuant to which Universal American will separate the Medicare Prescription Drug Business from its other businesses prior to the Split-Off.
 
Also in connection with the entry into the Merger Agreement, CVS Caremark entered into Voting Agreements (collectively, the “Voting Agreements”) dated as of December 30, 2010 with Capital Z Partners III, L.P., Capital Z Financial Services Fund II, L.P., Capital Z Financial Services Private Fund II, L.P., Lee-Universal Holdings, LLC, Perry Corp., Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe X, L.P., and Richard A. Barasch, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Universal American (the “Covered Shareholders”).  Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, at any meeting of Universal American’s shareholders, or in connection with any written consent of Universal American’s shareholders, the Covered Shareholders must vote their shares of Universal American common stock (which represent, in the aggregate, approximately 55% of Universal American’s outstanding common stock as of December 30, 2010) in favor of the Merger and against any alternative proposals regarding the sale of Universal American.  However, if Universal American’s board of directors changes its recommendation to Universal American’s shareholders in favor of the Merger in connection with a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the aggregate number of shares held by the Covered Shareholders that are subject to the Voting Agreements will be reduced to 45% of Universal American’s outstanding common stock.  The Voting Agreements terminate upon the earlier of (i) the termination of the Merger Agreement and (ii) the effective time of the Merger.
 
The Merger Agreement contains certain customary termination rights for each of CVS Caremark and Universal American, and if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, Universal American is required to pay CVS Caremark a termination fee of $36 million and reimburse CVS Caremark for its out-of-pocket transaction-related expenses up to $5 million.
 
The Merger Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants of Universal American, CVS Caremark and Purchaser.  In addition to certain other covenants, Universal American has agreed not to
 
 
 

 
 
(i) solicit, initiate or knowingly facilitate or encourage any takeover proposal from a third party; (ii) enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, or furnish any information relating to Universal American to, any third party in connection with any takeover proposal; or (iii) enter into any agreement relating to a takeover proposal, in each case, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Merger Agreement.
 
The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement, the Separation Agreement and the Voting Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such agreements, which are filed as Exhibits hereto and are incorporated into this report by reference.
 
The Merger Agreement governs the contractual rights between the parties in relation to the Merger.  The Merger Agreement has been filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement and is not intended to modify or supplement any factual disclosures about CVS Caremark or Universal American in CVS Caremark’s or Universal American’s public reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  In particular, the Merger Agreement is not intended to be, and should not be relied upon as, disclosures regarding any facts and circumstances relating to CVS Caremark or Universal American.  The representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement have been negotiated with the principal purpose of establishi ng the circumstances in which a party may have the right not to consummate the Merger if the representations and warranties of the other party prove to be untrue due to a change in circumstance or otherwise, and allocating risk between the parties, rather than establishing matters as facts.  The representations and warranties may also be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable under the securities laws.

75

 
 
 
such disclosure letter that corresponds to the section of this Agreement to which it relates.  The fact that any item of information is disclosed in a disclosure letter to this Agreement shall not constitute an admission by such party that such item is material, that such item has had or would have a Company Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect, as the case may be, or that the disclosure of such be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this Agreement.

(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than twelve (12) months following the Effective Time, each Party shall (and shall cause all of the other members of its Group to) use commercially reasonable efforts to remove, strike over or otherwise obliterate and cease use of all Newco Trademarks (in the case of the Part D Group) or the Part D Trademarks (in the case of the Newco Group) from all of such Party’s and its Subsidiaries’ assets and other materials, including as part of its legal name and on any vehicles, business cards, schedules, stationery, packaging materials, displays, signs, promotional materials, manuals, forms, websites, email, computer software and ot her materials and systems (it being understood that it may be commercially impracticable to remove all uses of such Trademarks on computer software and systems existing as of the Effective Time).

proprietary information relating to that third party or its business; provided, however, that in the event that a Party would, in the absence of this clause (c), be required under this Section 4.04 to disclose any such information, such Party shall use reasonable best efforts to seek to obtain such third party’s consent to the disclosure of such information.
 
Section 4.05. Certain Covenants.
 
(a) Subject to Section 4.05(b), Newco and its Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness prior to the Effective Time (“Newco Indebtedness”) so long as such Indebtedness does not impose any o bligations on the Company or any other member of the Part D Group.

ARTICLE V
LITIGATION MATTERS
 
Section 5.01. Case Allocation.
 
(a) As of the Effective Time, Newco shall, and, as applicable, shall cause the other members of the Newco Group to, (i) diligently conduct, at its sole cost and expense, the defense of the Newco Legal Actions, including the Newco Legal Actions listed on Schedule 5.01(a) and any applicable future Newco Legal Actions; and (ii) agree not to file any cross claim or institute separate legal proceedings against the Company in relation to the Newco Legal Actions.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5.01(a) shall limit the rights of any member of the Part D Group under thi s Agreement or any other Split-Off Agreement.
 
(b) As of the Effective Time, the Company shall, and, as applicable, shall cause the other members of the Part D Group to, (i) diligently conduct, at its sole cost and expense, the defense of the Part D Legal Actions, including the Part D Legal Actions listed on Schedule 5.01(b) and any applicable future Part D Legal Actions; and (ii) agree not to file any cross claim or institute separate legal proceedings against Newco in relation to the Part D Legal Actions.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5.01(b) shall limit the rights of any member of the Newco Group under this Agreement or any other Split-Off Agreement.
 
(c) As of the Effective Time, each Party shall, and, as applicable, shall cause the other members of its Group to, (i) diligently conduct, on a joint basis, the defense of the Joint Legal Actions; and (ii) notify the other Party of material litigation developments related to the Joint Legal Actions; provided, however, that if it becomes clear that a Joint Legal Action does not relate primarily to the Medicare Part D Business then from and after such time such Joint Legal Action shall instead be deemed to be a Newco Legal
 
 
 
25

 
 
 
Action subject to clause (a) above; provided, further, that if it becomes clear that a Joint Legal Action relates primarily to the Medicare Part D Business then from and after such time such Joint Legal Action shall instead be deemed to be a Part D Legal Action subject to clause (b) above.  The Company and Newco shall regularly meet to review and discuss the progress of the Joint Legal Actions and the classification thereof.
 
(d) Until such time as the respective Liabilities of the members of the Part D Group and Newco Group are determined in connection with any Joint Legal Action, the Company and Newco shall each pay 50% of the cost and expenses associated with the defense of such Joint Legal Action.  Each Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel to represent it and members of its Group if the such shall have reasonably concluded that there is a legal defense available to members of its Group that is different from or in addition to those available to the other Group or that representation of both such Party (or any member of such Party’s Group) and the other Party (or any member of the other Party’s Group) by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to an actual conflict of interest between them, in which case fees and expenses of such counsel shall be included in the amounts allocated by the next sentence of this Section 5.01(d). Upon the determination of Liability of the members of the Part D Group and Newco Group in connection with any Joint Legal Action, Newco shall indemnify and hold harmless the Part D Indemnitees against the portion of such Liabilities relating primarily to the Newco Business, and the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Newco Indemnitees against the portion of such Liabilities relating primarily to the Medicare Part D Business, including, in each case, the costs and expenses associated with the defense of such Joint Legal Action since the beginning of such Joint Legal Action, whic h shall be allocated between the Company and Newco in proportion to the Liability with respect to such Joint Legal Action of members of the Part D Group, on the one hand, and members of the Newco Group, on the other hand. Indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.01(d) shall be in accordance with the indemnification provisions of Article VI.
 
Section 5.02. Litigation Cooperation.
 
(a) Each of the Company and Newco agrees that at all times from and after the Effective Time, if a Legal Action currently exists or is commenced by a third party (including a Governmental Authority) with respect to which a Party (or any member of such Party’s respective Group) is a named defendant but such Legal Action is not a Liability allocated to such named Party under this Agreement or any Split-Off Agreement and is a Liability allocated to the other Party under this Agreement or any Split-Off Agreement, then the other Party shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the named but not liable defendant to be removed from such Legal Action and such defendant shall not be required to make any payments or contribution in conne ction therewith.
 
(b) If, in the case of any Newco Legal Action or Part D Legal Action there is a conflict of interest between the Parties, or in the event that any Third Party Claim seeks equitable relief which would restrict or limit the future conduct of the non-controlling Party or such Party’s business or operations, such Party shall be entitled to retain, at the expense of the Party that is controlling such Legal Action in accordance with the terms of Section 5.01, separate counsel as required by the applicable rules of professional conduct
 
 
 
26

 
 
 
(which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to such controlling Party) and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement of that portion of the Third Party Claim that seeks equitable relief with respect to the named Party.  In no event shall a Party settle or compromise any such Legal Action without the prior written consent of the other Party.
 
(c) The Company and Newco shall, and shall cause the members of their respective Group to, in good faith, do all things necessary or appropriate to prosecute, defend and enforce any Legal Action, but solely at the discretion and in accordance with the direction of the controlling Party, including (i) to deliver to the controlling Party all appropriate documents, notices received in connection with such Legal Action, books and records, agreements, instruments or any information requested by the controlling Party, (ii) to execute any appropriate notifications, acknowledgments, corporate resolutions and consents and (iii) to provide the controlling Party reasonable access to their respective properties and personnel (including current a nd, if reasonably practicable, former agents such as consultants, accountants, auditors and their current and former employees) for interviews, depositions, testimonies and other relevant procedures.  The controlling Party shall bear all out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith.  From and after the Effective Time, in connection with any matter contemplated by this Section 5.02(c), the Parties shall maintain any attorney-client privilege or work product immunity of any member of any Group.

Section 6.03. Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts on a Net-Tax Basis.
 
(a) Any Liability subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI, shall (i) be net of Insurance Proceeds actually recovered, (ii) be net of any proceeds actually recovered by an Indemnified Party from any third party for indemnification for such Liability (“Third Party Proceeds”), (iii) be reduced by any Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party (calculated on a with and without basis) arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Liability, and (iv) be increased by any Tax detriment actually incurred by the Indemnified Party (calculated on a with and without basis) as a result of the receipt or accrual of the Indemnity Payment in respect of such Liability.  The amount which any Indemnifying Party is required to pay pursuant to this Article VI to any Indemnified Party will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by the Indemnified Party in respect of the related Liability.  If an Indemnified Party receives a payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Damages (an “Indemnity Payment”) and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds, then the Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.  Each of the Parties shall use its reasonable best efforts to mitigate any Damages that are indemnifiable hereunder upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition th at would reasonably be expected to give rise to such Damages.
 
(b) If a Tax benefit described in Section 6.03(a)(iii) or Tax detriment described in Section 6.03(a)(iv) is actually realized or incurred after the payment of any Indemnity Payment hereunder, as applicable, (i) the Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such Tax benefit when actually realized and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party the amount of such Tax detriment when actually incurred. Adjustments will be made if any such Tax benefits are disallowed or such Tax detriments are not ultimately incurred.
 
(c) The Indemnified Party shall use reasonable best efforts to seek to collect or recover any third-party Insurance Proceeds and any Third Party Proceeds to which the Indemnified Party is entitled in connection with any Liability for which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification pursuant to this Article VI; provided that the Indemnified Party’s inability to collect or recover any such Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds shall not limit the Indemnifying Party’s obligations hereunder.
 
(d) To the extent applicable, Section 4.3(a) of the Tax Matters Agreement shall apply to payments made pursuant to this Article VI and Section 2.08.
 
Section 6.04. Notice and Payment of Claims.  If any Part D Indemnitee or Newco Indemnitee (the “Indemnified Party”) determines that it is or may be entitled to indemnification by a Party (the “Indemnifying Party&# 8221;) under this Article VI (other than in connection with any Legal Action or claim subject to Section 6.05), the Indemnified
 
 
 
28

 
 
 
Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice specifying, to the extent reasonably practicable, the basis for its claim for indemnification in reasonable detail and the amount for which the Indemnified Party reasonably believes it is entitled to be indemnified. After the Indemnifying Party is notified of the amount for which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification, the Indemnifying Party shall, within 30 days after receipt of such notice, pay the Indemnified Party such amount in cash or other immediately available funds unless the Indemnifying Party objects to the claim for indemnification or the amount thereof.  If the Indemnifying Party does not give the Indemnified Party written notice objecting to such claim and setting forth the grounds therefor within the same 30 day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have acknowledged its liability for such claim and the Indemnified Party may exercise any and all of its rights under applicable Law to collect such amount.
 
Section 6.05. Notice and Defense of Third Party Claims.  Promptly following the earlier of (a) receipt of notice of the commencement by a third party of any Legal Action against or otherwise involving any Indemnified Party or (b) receipt of information from a third party alleging the existence of a claim against an Indemnified Party, in either case, with respect to which indemnification may be sought pursuant to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof.  Any such notice shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail.  The failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided in this Section 6.05 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure to give notice.  Within 30 days after receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying Party may elect at its option to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim at its sole cost and expense; provided that prior to assuming such defense, the Indemnifying Party must acknowledge that it would have an indemnity obligation for the Damages resulting from such Third Party Claim as provided under this Article VI.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or maintain control of the defense of any Third Party Claim and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party if (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation or (ii) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates.  Any contest of a Third Party Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense shall be conducted by attorneys employed by the Indemnifying Party; provided that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in (but not control) such proceedings and to be represented by attorneys of its own choosing at the Indemnified Party’s sole cost and expense.  If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle or compromise the claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party may not agree, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to any such settlement (x) pursuant to which any remedy or relief, other than monetary damages for which the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible hereunder, shall be applied to or against the Indemnified Party or (y) that does not expressly unconditionally release the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such Third Party
 
 
 
29

 
 
 
Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may require the Indemnifying Party to reimburse it on a current basis for its reasonable and documented attorney’s fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in defending against such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the result obtained with respect thereto by the Indemnified Party. In no event shall an Indemnified Party settle or compromise any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
 
ARTICLE VII

(c) In the event the Merger Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms prior to the Effective Time, this Agreement shall automatically and simultaneously terminate and the Separation and Split-Off shall automatically and simultaneously be abandoned.  In the event of such termination, no party shall have any liability to any other party pursuant to this Agreement.  It is understood that the consummation of the Merger shall not constitute a termination of this Agreement.  Except as provided in the first sentence of this Section 11.05(c), this Agreement may not be terminated except by an agreement in writing signed by the parties.

43

(d)           Consents and Approvals.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Shareholder does not, and the performance by such Shareholder of its obligations under this Agreement and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not, require such Shareholder to obtain any consent, approval, authorization or permit of any Governmental Authority.
