Fair Market Value Calculation
General methods for calculation shall be: (1) a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis based on the contractual cash flows represented by the aggregate Genworth MOAs and adjusted for carve-out costs; (2) multiples of Revenue, Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and EBIT for comparable transactions at the time of carve out. Projected net cash flow will be discounted on the basis outlined below. The final valuation will consider market factors, making appropriate adjustments to the variables below.
1. DCF Methodology
Cash Flows In.

Cash Flows Out.
Expenses will be calculated as of the valuation date using actual expenses and projected forward taking into account the following categories and trends:
(a) |
|
C&B up 12% |
(b) |
|
FX up 6% |
(c) |
|
Facility down 4% |
(d) |
|
Technology & Telecom down 8% and 15% respectively |
(e) |
|
Direct support down 13% |
(f) |
|
Other variable down 6% |
(g) |
|
Overhead down 3% |
NOTE: Expense trends will change over time and will be re-calculated based on the prevailing trends supported by the most recent annual pricing process.
Carve Out Costs Subtracted From DCF Valuation
Carve-out costs will include one-time costs including, without limitation, legal entity set-up, transaction costs, capital investments, and the costs to replace assets and personnel required for the Genworth Group to continue the operations of its Insurance business on a stand-alone basis
in substantially the same manner as immediately prior to the exercise of the Carve-Out Option, but which are not to be transferred from GECIS to Genworth at the time of the carve-out.
Term
The term shall be the initial term of the contract and the renewal term.
Discount Rates
The discount rate applied to the cash flows shall be determined to take into account the following factors:
|
(1) private company with a single customer. |
|
(1) Cost of Capital of Comparable companies |
|
(2) sufficient to generate an after tax equity return |
|
(3) growth rate. |
Final DCF Valuation.
The final DCF valuation shall take into consideration NPV of future cash flows over the Initial Term and Renewal Period and may be adjusted for any market conditions that apply to companies of similar characteristics with respect to market space, company maturity, cash flow profile and general market conditions.
2. Multiples Valuation Methodology
The multiples valuations will be based upon the stated revenue and pre-tax earnings for the PROVIDER insurance segment servicing the Genworth Group under the MOAs in the most recent year. Multiples will be applied from comparable transactions to the calculated EBITDA and EBIT amounts, and to the stated revenue.
Final Valuation
In case of disagreement, the final valuation shall be developed by the appraisers appointed in accordance with Section 6.0(e) of Exhibit H, taking into account the factors outlined above.

Assets
At the time the Carve-Out Option is exercised under circumstances requiring payment of the book value of the Carve-Out Resources (a book value carve out), the parties will analyze each asset and evaluate its transferability to the Genworth Group in accordance with Exhibit H (i.e. those that are indentifiable and severable). Only such Carve-Out Resources as are actually transferred shall be included in the calculation of Book Value.
Liabilities
The above calculation assumes that no liabilities (other than Carve-Out Resources) are transferred to Genworth in a book value carve out situation. At the time of a book value carve out, Genworth and PROVIDER will evaluate the transferability of liabilities pertaining directly to the Genworth Group and may agree that such liabilities will be transferred to the Genworth Group All such transferred liabilities will be deducted from the asset values to arrive at book value to be paid to PROVIDER.

Parts 160-164 (HIPAA Privacy Rule). These provisions shall apply to PROVIDER to the extent that PROVIDER is considered a Business Associate under the HIPAA Privacy Rule and all references in this section to Business Associates shall refer to PROVIDER. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned in the Agreement. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in the Agreement, in the event of a conflict between this Addendum and the Agreement, the terms of this Addendum shall prevail.
II. Permitted Uses and Disclosures.
A. Business Associate agrees to use or disclose Protected Health Information (PHI) that it creates for or receives from CUSTOMER or any other member of the Genworth Group only as follows. The capitalized term Protected Health Information or PHI has the meaning set forth in 45 C.F.R. Section 164.501, as amended from time to time. Generally, this term means individually identifiable health information including, without limitation, all information, data and materials, including without limitation, demographic, medical and financial information, that relates to the past, present, or future physical or mental health or condition of an individual; the provision of health care to an individual; or the past present, or future payment for the provision of health care to an individual; and that identifies the individual or with respect to which there is a reasonable basis to believe the information can be used to identify the individual. This definition shall include any demographic information concerning members and participants in, and applicants for, health benefit plans of the Genworth Group. All other terms used in this Addendum shall have the meanings set forth in the applicable definitions under the HIPAA Privacy Rule.
B. Functions and Activities on Companys Behalf. Business Associate is permitted to use and disclose PHI it creates for or receives from the Genworth Group only for the purposes described in this Addendum or the Agreement that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Addendum, or as required by law, or following receipt of prior written approval from members of the Genworth Group for which the relevant PHI was created or from which the relevant PHI was received. In addition to these specific requirements below, Business Associate may use or disclose PHI only in a manner that would not violate the HIPAA Privacy Rule if done by the applicable members of the Genworth Group.
C. Business Associates Operations. Business Associate is permitted by this Agreement to use PHI it creates for or receives from the Genworth Group: (i) if such use is
reasonably necessary for Business Associates proper management and administration; and (ii) as reasonably necessary to carry out Business Associates legal responsibilities. Business Associate is permitted to disclose PHI it creates for or receives from the Genworth Group for the purposes identified in this Section only if the following conditions are met:
(1) The disclosure is required by law; or
(2) The disclosure is reasonably necessary to Business Associates proper management and administration, and Business Associate obtains reasonable assurances in writing from any person or organization to which Business Associate will disclose such PHI that the person or organization will:
a. Hold such PHI as confidential and use or further disclose it only for the purpose for which Business Associate disclosed it to the person or organization or as required by law; and
b. Notify Business Associate (who will in turn promptly notify the members of the Genworth Group for which the relevant PHI was created or from which the relevant PHI was received) of any instance of which the person or organization becomes aware in which the confidentiality of such PHI was breached.
D. Minimum Necessary Standard. In performing the functions and activities on behalf of the Genworth Group pursuant to the Agreement, Business Associate agrees to use, disclose or request only the minimum necessary PHI to accomplish the purpose of the use, disclosure or request. Business Associate must have in place policies and procedures that limit the PHI disclosed to meet this minimum necessary standard.
E. Prohibition on Unauthorized Use or Disclosure. Business Associate will neither use nor disclose PHI it creates or receives for or from the Genworth Group, or from another business associate of the Genworth Group, except as permitted or required by this Addendum or the Agreement that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Addendum, or as required by law, or following receipt of prior written approval from members of the Genworth Group for which the relevant PHI was created or from which the relevant PHI was received.
F. De-identification of Information. Business Associate agrees neither to de-identify PHI it creates for or receives from the Genworth Group or from another business associate of the Genworth Group, nor use or disclose such de-identified PHI, unless such de-identification is expressly permitted under the terms and conditions of this Addendum or the Agreement and related to the Genworth Groups activities for purposes of treatment, payment or health care operations, as those terms are defined under the HIPAA Privacy Rule.

Business Associate further agrees that it will not create a Limited Data Set as defined by the HIPAA Privacy Rule using PHI it creates or receives, or receives from another business associate of the Genworth Group, nor use or disclose such Limited Data Set unless: (i) such creation, use or disclosure is expressly permitted under the terms and conditions
J-2
of this Addendum or the Agreement that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Addendum; and such creation, use or disclosure is for services provided by Business Associate that relate to the Genworth Groups activities for purposes of treatment, payment or health care operations, as those terms are defined under the HIPAA Privacy Rule.
G. Information Safeguards. Business Associate will develop, document, implement, maintain and use appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to preserve the integrity and confidentiality of and to prevent non-permitted use or disclosure of PHI created for or received from the Genworth Group. These safeguards must be appropriate to the size and complexity of Business Associates operations and the nature and scope of its activities. Business Associate agrees that these safeguards will meet any applicable requirements set forth by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, including (as of the effective date or as of the compliance date, whichever is applicable) any requirements set forth in the final HIPAA security regulations. Business Associate agrees to mitigate, to the extent practicable, any harmful effect that is known to Business Associate resulting from a use or disclosure of PHI by Business Associate in violation of the requirements of this Addendum.
