BUTLER, CLERK <br />require the payment of additional charges as set forth in the Client Application (collectively, the "Program <br />Fees") and (b) a portion of any such Program Fees paid by Client may be retained by Administrator. <br />E. Client acknowledges and understands that PBM, through its contractual arrangement with Administrator, <br />guarantees certain Rebates as set forth in the Client Application. The Parties further acknowledge and <br />understand that no Rebates or similar discounts or payments will be paid to the Parties with respect to any <br />Prescription Drug Claims reimbursed on a unit basis by Medicaid agencies or other federal or state healthcare <br />programs. <br />F. Client acknowledges and is aware that Administrator, pursuant to its contractual agreement with PBM, (i) is <br />paid by PBM an administrative services credit payment per mail and retail Prescription Drug Claim <br />administered by Administrator on behalf of each Member in the Plan (the "PBM Service Credit"); and (ii) <br />may also receive from PBM a one-time per Member implementation and marketing credit payment designed <br />to reimburse Administrator for actual expenses and out-of-pocket costs incurred by Administrator to market <br />and implement PBM products and services and transition Client (and its Members) to PBM's benefit offerings <br />(the "Implementation Credit"). It shall be Administrator's responsibility to obtain and collect such PBM <br />Service Credit and the Implementation Credit directly from PBM and Client shall have no responsibility <br />(payment or otherwise) with respect to such credit due to Administrator. The Parties acknowledge and agree <br />that (1) Administrator shall be responsible for any and all transition and implementation costs it incurs <br />(exclusive of any Implementation Credit received by it as described above) with respect to the marketing and <br />transition of Client (and its Members) to benefit offerings administered by Administrator for Client, and (2) <br />Client shall be responsible for any and all transition and implementation costs it incurs with respect to the <br />transition and implementation of such benefit offerings (e.g., Client's Human Resources Department's work, <br />legal work on the Plan to update Plan documents, etc.). To the extent applicable to the Parties, it is the Parties' <br />intention that, for purposes of the Federal Anti -Kickback Statute and any required government reporting, the <br />PBM Service Credit and Implementation Credit shall constitute and shall be treated by Administrator and <br />Client as a discount against the price of drugs within the meaning of 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7b(b)(3)(A). By <br />executing this Agreement, each of Administrator and Client hereby agrees that the Administrator and PBM <br />are warranting that the PBM Service Credit and any Implementation Credit shall be so treated and reported, <br />as and to the extent applicable to each such Party. <br />G. Client acknowledges that Administrator may, in its sole discretion, compensate brokers and/or third -party <br />consultants from monies received or due to be received by Administrator. <br />ARTICLE V — LATE PAYMENT <br />A.

In addition to such service charge, any past due amounts (inclusive of service charges) will <br />incur interest beginning on the due date and continuing thereafter until fully paid at a rate of ten percent (10%) <br />per annum (or the maximum amount allowable under applicable law if such amount is less than ten percent <br />(10%)). <br />B. Furthermore, if payment of the Prescription Charges for Prescription Drug Claims, the Transaction Fees, the <br />Program Fees, or any other amounts due under this Agreement are not received by the due date of the <br />applicable invoice, Administrator may, at its option, provided that Administrator has provided Client with <br />written notice of such payment deficiency and five (5) business days to cure such deficiency, cease or suspend <br />the provision of administrative services provided by Administrator under this Agreement, and deactivate all <br />prescription drug cards issued to the Members. Consult Article VI for Administrator's option and right to <br />terminate this Agreement at any time if Client fails to make full and timely payment of such charges and fees <br />(including any applicable service charges and interest) to Administrator. <br />C.
