General
-------
Maxicare Health Plans, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company")
is a managed health care company, with a combined enrollment of
approximately 293,000 at January 1, 1994. The Company owns and
operates a system of 7 health maintenance organizations ("HMOs") in
7 states including California, Indiana, Illinois, Louisiana, North
Carolina, South Carolina, and Wisconsin and three preferred provider
organizations ("PPOs") called Maxiselect. Through its HMO
operations, the Company arranges for comprehensive health care
services to its members for a predetermined prepaid fee. The
Company provides these services by contracting on a prospective
basis with physician groups for a fixed fee per member per month
regardless of the extent and nature of services, and with hospitals
and other providers under a variety of fee arrangements. The
Company believes that an HMO offers certain advantages over
traditional health insurance:
- To the member, an HMO offers comprehensive and coordinated
health care programs, including preventive services,
generally without requiring claims forms.
- To the employer, an HMO offers an opportunity to improve the
breadth and quality of health benefit programs available to
employees and their families without a significant increase
in cost or administrative burdens.
- To the health care provider, such as physician groups and
hospitals, an HMO provides a more predictable revenue
source.
The Company's executive offices are located at 1149 South Broadway
Street, Los Angeles, California 90015, and its telephone number is
(213)765-2000.
History
-------
On December 5, 1990, Maxicare Health Plans, Inc., a California
corporation whose shares were publicly traded and the former parent
company of the Company's businesses ("MHP"), merged with and into
HealthCare USA Inc., a Delaware corporation ("HealthCare"), one of
its wholly-owned subsidiaries, for the purpose of reincorporating
from the state of California into the state of Delaware.
Except as expressly provided herein or where the context requires,
references to "MHP" and the "Company" herein pertain to both pre-
merger Maxicare Health Plans, Inc., a California corporation, and to
post-merger Maxicare Health Plans, Inc., a Delaware corporation.
The HMO business of the Company originated in California in 1973.
The business was operated as a nonprofit corporation through 1980.
The Company was incorporated in California on December 23, 1980, to
serve as a holding company for the California HMO and related
entities. At the end of 1980, the California HMO was converted to a
for-profit corporation. The Company began multi-state operations in
June 1982 by purchasing 100% of CNA Health Plans, Inc.
As part of its expansion strategy, the Company acquired all of the
stock of HealthCare and HealthAmerica Corporation ("HealthAmerica")
in the fourth quarter of 1986. At that time, HealthCare owned or
managed HMOs in three states and HealthAmerica owned or managed HMOs
in 17 states, including 11 states not previously serviced by the
Company.
The business of the Company's corporate predecessor, HealthCare,
commenced in December 1968 when, through a predecessor corporation,
it opened its first hospital. HealthCare was initially incorporated
in January 1981 under the name of Greatwest Hospitals Inc.
HealthCare's first HMO was acquired on December 30, 1981 through a
merger with General Medical Centers, Inc.
The acquisitions of HealthCare and HealthAmerica were highly
leveraged and resulted in a substantial increase in the Company's
long-term debt. These acquisitions, combined with adverse industry
conditions and inadequate pricing policies, produced a dramatic
deterioration in the Company's operating performance and financial
condition.
These financial difficulties ultimately caused certain of the
Company's HMOs to fall out of compliance with state regulations and
its loan agreement with various banks (the "Bank Group") and to
default under the terms of its public indebtedness.
As a result of deteriorating financial, operational and regulatory
situations, MHP and forty-seven affiliated entities filed for
protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code
(the "Bankruptcy Code") in March and April of 1989 (the "Petition
Dates"). Hereinafter, all 48 entities which filed bankruptcy
petitions may from time to time be referred to as the "Debtors".
Under the Bankruptcy Code, substantially all pre-petition
liabilities, contingencies and other contractual obligations of the
Debtors, except those expressly assumed by them, were discharged
upon emergence from Chapter 11 on December 5, 1990, the "Effective
Date" of the plan of reorganization (the "Reorganization Plan"). On
or shortly after the Effective Date, the Company transferred
approximately $85.4 million of cash to be distributed under the
Reorganization Plan to segregated bank accounts and issued global
certificates evidencing $67.0 million principal amount of 13.5%
Senior Notes due December 5, 2000 (the "Senior Notes"), 10,000,000
shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase an additional
555,555 shares of Common Stock (the "Warrants") to be distributed to
holders of allowed claims and interests under the Reorganization
Plan.
As of January 31, 1994, approximately $85.5 million in cash, $39.7
million principal amount of Senior Notes, $18.2 million of cash in
lieu of the now redeemed Senior Notes (see "Item 8. Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 3 to the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements"), 8.9 million shares of Common
Stock and 8,858 Warrants to purchase Common Stock had been
distributed to holders of allowed claims. The remaining amounts of
cash and securities will be distributed to holders of allowed claims
upon adjudication of the remaining disputed claims pursuant to a
formula set forth in the Reorganization Plan.
In addition to the foregoing, certain assets of the Debtors which
were not retained by the reorganized Company were transferred to a
distribution trust for liquidation on behalf of the creditors (the
"Distribution Trust") after reimbursement of expenses of the
Distribution Trust. As of January 31, 1994, $8.9 million has been
disbursed by the Distribution Trust to the disbursing agent. The
Company anticipates that future distributions will be made from the
Distribution Trust.
Pursuant to the Reorganization Plan, the Company is required to make
distributions based on its consolidated net worth in excess of $2.0
million at December 31, 1991 and 1992 (the "Consolidated Net Worth
Distribution"). In March 1992, the Company consummated the sale of
$60 million of Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"Series A Stock") (see "Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data - Note 6 to the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements"). The proceeds from this sale, plus internally
generated cash, were utilized to redeem in April 1992 the entire
outstanding Senior Notes. The sale of the Series A Stock had the
effect of significantly increasing the net worth of the Company.
The Company does not believe the Reorganization Plan contemplated
either the issuance of the Series A Stock or the redemption of the
Senior Notes, and accordingly, the Company believes the Consolidated
Net Worth Distribution required by the Reorganization Plan should be
calculated on a basis as if the sale of the Series A Stock had not
been consummated and the Senior Notes had not been redeemed. As a
result of the foregoing, the Company calculated the December 31,
1992 Consolidated Net Worth Distribution amount to be approximately
$971,000, which was deposited for distribution to certain creditors
under the Reorganization Plan in March 1993. In addition, the
Company believes that any Consolidated Net Worth Distribution which
under the Reorganization Plan is to be utilized to redeem the Senior
Notes is no longer due as the Senior Notes have been fully redeemed.
The committee representing the creditors (the "New Committee") has
stated it does not agree with the Company's interpretation of the
the Reorganization Plan and believes that additional amounts may be
due under the Consolidated Net Worth Distribution provision of the
Reorganization Plan. The Company has responded to various inquiries
of the New Committee and may engage in future discussions in an
attempt to resolve any disputed items. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company elected to accrue in its consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1992 the
maximum potential liability of $7.2 million on this matter (see
"Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data").
The Bankruptcy Court retains jurisdiction over implementation and
interpretation of the Reorganization Plan and, pursuant to a
stipulation with the South Carolina regulators, over the operations
of the South Carolina HMO, until all regulatory approvals regarding
this HMO have been obtained (see "Item 1. Business - Government
Regulation").
The Managed Health Care Industry
--------------------------------
The Company owns and operates a multi-state system of HMOs. An HMO
is an organization that arranges for health care services to its
members. For these services, the members' employers pay all or most
of the predetermined fee that does not vary with the nature or
extent of health care services provided to the member, and the
member pays a relatively small copayment or deductible for certain
services. The fixed payment distinguishes HMOs from conventional
health insurance plans that contain customary copayment and
deductible features and also require the submission of claims forms.
An HMO receives a fixed amount from its members regardless of the
nature and extent of health care services provided, and as a result,
an HMO has an incentive to keep its members healthy and to manage
its costs through strategies such as monitoring hospital admissions
and reviewing specialist referrals by primary care physicians. The
goal is to combine the delivery of and access to quality health care
services with effective management controls to make the most cost-
effective use of health care resources.
Although HMOs have been operating in the United States for half a
century, their popularity began increasing in the 1970's in response
to rapidly escalating health care costs and enactment of the Federal
Health Maintenance Organization Act of 1973, a federal statute
designed to promote the establishment and growth of HMOs (see "Item
1. Business - Government Regulation").
There are four basic organizational models of HMOs which are the
staff, group, independent practice association and network models.
The distinguishing feature between models is the HMO's relationship
with its physicians. In the staff model, the HMO employs the
physicians directly at an HMO facility and compensates the
physicians by salary and other incentive plans. In the group model,
the HMO contracts with a multi-specialty physician group which
provides services primarily for HMO members and receives a fixed
monthly fee, known as capitation, for each HMO member, regardless of
the number of physician visits. Under the independent practice
association model, the HMO either contracts with a physicians'
association, which in turn contracts directly with individual
physicians, or contracts directly with individual physicians. In
either case, these physicians provide care in their own offices.
Under the network model of organization, the HMO contracts with
numerous community multi-specialty physician groups, hospitals and
other health care providers. The physician groups are paid on a
capitation basis, as in the group model, but medical care is usually
provided in the physician's own facilities. The Company's HMOs
include only network, group and independent practice association
models. For the year ended December 31, 1993, 58% of the Company's
health care expenses represented capitation payments to providers.
PPOs are generally a network of health care providers which offer
their services to health care purchasers, such as employers. PPO
members choose from among the various contracting physician groups
and independent practice associations (the "Physician Groups") the
particular group from which they desire to receive their medical
care, or choose a noncontracting physician and are reimbursed on a
traditional indemnity plan basis after reaching an annual
deductible. Payment is based on some variation of fee-for-service
reimbursement and health care services are determined by the terms
of the contract. The Company's PPO business began in Indiana,
California and Louisiana in the fourth quarters of 1989, 1990 and
1992, respectively. In the third quarter of 1993 the Company
introduced a primary care physician network product ("PCPN") to a
Louisiana employer group with a health care plan which is self-
insured. Under the PCPN, eligible members of the employer group may
choose the Company's contracted physician network for their primary
care services for a period of one year. The Company's PPO and PCPN
lines of business represent approximately five percent (5%) of the
Company's combined enrollment at December 31, 1993. The Company
believes that the PPO and PCPN products offered by Maxicare Life and
Health Insurance Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
expand the options for members, while maintaining the concept of
managed health care and is exploring the possibility of offering the
PPO business and additional products and indemnity services in other
markets.
Health Care Services
--------------------
In exchange for a predetermined monthly payment, an HMO member is
entitled to receive a broad range of health care services. Various
state and federal regulations require an HMO to offer its members
physician and hospital services, and permit an HMO to offer certain
supplemental services such as dental care and prescription drug
services at an additional cost (see "Item 1. Business - Government
Regulation"). As of December 31, 1993, the Company's HMOs had
contracts with approximately 300 hospitals in 7 states and the
Company owns and operates 3 pharmacies in California.
The Company's members generally receive the following range of
health care services:
Primary Care Physician Services - medical care provided by
primary care physicians (typically family practitioners,
general internists and pediatricians). Such care generally
includes periodic physical examinations, well-baby care and
other preventive health services, as well as the treatment of
illnesses not requiring referral to a specialist.
Specialist Physician Services - medical care provided by
specialist physicians on referral from the responsible primary
care physicians. The most commonly used specialist physicians
include obstetrician-gynecologists, cardiologists, surgeons and
radiologists.
Hospital Care - inpatient and outpatient hospital care
including room and board, diagnostic tests, and medical and
surgical procedures.
Diagnostic Laboratory Services - inpatient and outpatient
laboratory tests.
Diagnostic and Therapeutic Radiology Services - X-ray and
nuclear medicine services, including CT scans and therapeutic
radiological procedures.
Home Health Services - medical and surgical procedures
performed on an outpatient basis, including emergency room
services where such services are medically necessary,
outpatient surgical procedures, evaluation and crisis
intervention, mental health services, physical therapy and
other similar services in which hospitalization is not
medically necessary or appropriate.
Other Services - other related health care services such as
ambulance, family planning and infertility services and health
education (including prenatal nutritional counseling, weight-
loss and stop-smoking programs).
Additional optional services include in-patient psychiatric care,
hearing aids, durable medical supplies and equipment, dental care,
vision care, chiropractic care and prescription drug services.
Delivery of Health Care Services
--------------------------------
The Company's HMOs provide for a portion of the health care
services to its members by contracting on a prepaid basis with
physician groups. The Company's HMOs typically pay to the
physician groups a monthly capitation fee for each member assigned
to the group. The amount of the capitation fee does not vary with
the nature or extent of services utilized. In exchange for the
capitation fee, the physician groups provide professional services
to members, including laboratory services and X-rays. Members
choose from among the various contracting physician groups the
particular group from which they desire to receive their medical
care.
Members select a primary care physician to serve as their personal
physician from the physician group. This physician will oversee
their medical care and refer them to a specialist when medically
necessary. In order to attract new members and retain existing
members, the Company's HMOs must retain a network of quality
physician groups and develop agreements with new physician groups.
The Company's HMOs contract for hospital services with various
hospitals under a variety of arrangements, including fee-for-
service, discounted fee-for-service, per diem and capitation.
Hospitalization costs are not generally included in the capitation
fee paid by the Company's HMOs to physician groups. Except in
emergency situations, a member's hospitalization must be approved
in advance by the utilization review committee of the member's
physician group and must take place in hospitals affiliated with
the Company's HMOs. When emergency situations arise, however,
which require medical care by physicians or hospitals not
affiliated with the Company's HMOs, the Company's HMOs assume
financial responsibility for the cost of such care.
In mid 1992 the Company began restructuring its provider network in
the Indianapolis marketplace as a result of the termination of
contract negotiations with MH Healthcare, Inc. ("MetroHealth"), a
health care provider in that market. Pursuant to the contract
which expired on December 31, 1992, the enrollees in Indianapolis
who use the MetroHealth facilities, comprising approximately 8% of
the Company's total enrollment at December 31, 1993, will continue
to have access to MetroHealth providers through March 31, 1994.
MetroHealth currently offers its own HMO in the Indianapolis area.
The restructuring of the Company's relationships among health care
providers in the Indiana marketplace contributed to an increase in
health care expenses (see "Item 7. Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"). The
provider network restructuring which began in mid 1992 has been
substantially completed as of the first quarter of 1994. Total
enrollment in the Indiana HMO decreased approximately 22% during
the first quarter of 1994 from December 31, 1993 but the Company
believes that it will ultimately be able to replace a substantial
number of the members who remain with MetroHealth and that the
restructuring of the provider network will not have a long-term
adverse impact on the Company's operations.
Premium Structure and Cost Control
----------------------------------
The Company generally sets its membership fees, or premiums,
pursuant to a community rating system which means that it charges
the same nominal premium per class of subscriber within a
geographic area for like services; however, groups which meet
certain enrollment requirements are charged premiums based on prior
cost experience (see "Item 1. Business - Government Regulation").
The Company has attempted to develop uniform procedures and
guidelines to manage medical care costs. These procedures and
guidelines include the annual negotiation of the capitation fee
paid to physician groups, hospitals, dentists and pharmacies, the
negotiation of discount contracts with other health care providers
and the placement of financial responsibility on the primary care
physician for the initiation of specialist referrals and hospital
utilization. In situations where the Company assumes the financial
responsibility for specialist referrals and hospital utilization,
health care providers are rewarded monetarily for specified levels
of utilization through incentive programs.
In addition to directing the Company's health care providers toward
capitation arrangements, the Company has a variety of programs and
procedures in place to effect cost containment. These programs are
intended to address utilization of inpatient services, outpatient
services and referral services which: (i) verify the medical
necessity of inpatient nonemergency treatment or surgery, (ii)
establish whether services must be performed in an inpatient
setting or could be done on an outpatient basis; and (iii)
determine the appropriate length of stay for inpatient services,
which may involve concurrent and/or retrospective review. In
addition, the Company revised the terms and procedures of its
pharmacy plan which incorporates such cost containment features as
drug formularies (a Company-developed listing of preferred, cost-
effective drugs).
The Company establishes an annual budget for each geographic area
and determines the expected costs of providing services in such
areas. The budget is calculated on a per member per month basis
for specific components. These include professional care by the
contracting Physician Groups; hospitals; prescription drug and
dental care services; emergency care; other health care services;
and administration. The Company budgets hospital costs on the
basis of utilization experience, actual cost per member per month,
expected inflation and anticipated changes in health care delivery.
For further information, see "Item 7. Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and
"Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data-Consolidated
Statements of Operations" included herein.
Management Information Systems
------------------------------
All of the Company's HMOs are currently linked through a network of
data lines to the corporate data center, allowing the Company to
prepare and make available management and accounting reports
including eligibility, capitation, billing and claims information
on an ongoing basis. System generated reports contain budgeted and
actual monthly cost and utilization statistics relating to
physician initiated services and hospitalization. Hospital
reports, which are available on a daily basis, are further analyzed
by the type of service, days paid, and actual and average length
and cost of stay by type of admission. The corporate data center
is located in Los Angeles.
Quality Assurance
-----------------
As required by federal and state law, the Company evaluates the
quality and appropriateness of the medical care delivered to its
members by its independently contracted providers in a number of
ways including performing periodic medical care evaluation studies,
analyzing monthly utilization of certain services, conducting
periodic member satisfaction studies and reviewing and responding
to member and physician grievances.
The Company compiles a variety of statistical information
concerning the utilization of various services, including emergency
room care, outpatient care, out-of-area services, hospital services
and physician visits. Under-utilization as well as over-
utilization is closely evaluated in an effort to monitor the
quality of care provided to the Company's members by physician
groups.
The Company has a member services department which deals directly
with members concerning their health care questions, comments,
concerns or grievances. The Company conducts annual surveys
questioning members about their level of satisfaction with the
services they receive. Management reviews any problems that are
presented by members concerning the delivery of medical care and
receives periodic reports summarizing member grievances.
Marketing
---------
Primary responsibility for the Company's marketing efforts rests
with a marketing director and sales representatives for each HMO
operated by the Company. Members typically join the Company's HMOs
through an employer, who pays all or most of the monthly premium.
In most instances, employers offer employees a choice of
traditional health insurance or membership with HMOs such as those
operated by the Company. The Company's HMOs' agreements with
employers are generally for a term of 12 months subject to renewal
annually. Once the Company's relationship with the employer is
established, marketing efforts are then focused on employees.
During an annual "open enrollment period", employees may select
their desired health care coverage. The primary annual open
enrollment period occurs in the month of January. By the end of
January, approximately 62% of the Company's members select their
desired health care coverage for the ensuing annual period. New
employees make their choices at the time of employment. The
Company's HMO membership is widely diverse, with no employer group
comprising 10% or more of the Company's total enrollment. As of
December 31, 1993, the Company's HMOs were offered by more than
1,400 employer groups.
The Company has also developed a multi-state account program which
offers employers having multiple locations in areas served by the
Company's HMOs the opportunity to deal with one primary account
manager. Billing and enrollment procedures are handled at a plan
level giving the multi-state employer the opportunity to monitor
individual areas within his employer group. For certain multi-
state employers, the Company develops individual marketing and
benefit programs for separate divisions, locations or benefit
classes within the same employer.
The Company believes that attracting employers is only the first
step toward increasing enrollment at each of its HMOs; ultimately,
the Company's ability to retain and increase membership will depend
upon how users of the health care system assess its benefit
package, rates, quality of service, financial condition and
responsiveness to user demands.
Competition
-----------
The health care industry is highly competitive and the managed
health care industry is becoming increasingly competitive in all
markets. The HMO industry continues to gain market share,
particularly at the expense of the indemnity carriers. The Company
competes in its regional markets for employers and members with
other HMOs, conventional health insurers and PPOs as well as
employers who elect to self-insure, and for quality physician
groups with other HMOs and PPOs. Many of these competitors are
larger or have greater financial resources than the Company. The
level of competition varies from state to state depending on the
variety and size of other conventional insurance, HMO and PPO
health care services offered in each state. Competitors of the
Company include such well known entities as Kaiser, Health Net and
Pacificare (in California), MetroHealth (in Indiana), and HMO
Illinois, Partners National Health Plan, Humana and Chicago HMO (in
Illinois).
The Company believes the principal competitive factors it faces are
premium rates, the quality of contracted providers, the variety of
health care coverage options offered and the quality of service to
members and providers. Competition may result in pressure to
reduce rates or limit the growth potential of HMOs in any
particular market. Employers, for example, are increasingly cost
sensitive in selecting health care providers for their employees,
which provides an incentive for the Company to keep its rates
competitive. In addition to the above, the Company has recently
faced increased competition from health care providers which offer
not only HMO services but PPO and indemnity health care services to
employer groups. In an effort to remain competitive, the Company
has begun to offer a variety of health care services, including
PPOs, and is actively exploring offering additional PPO and
indemnity services through joint ventures or other arrangements.
Competition may also be affected by mergers and acquisitions in the
managed care and general health care industries as companies
respond to proposed health care reform and seek to expand their
operating territories to gain economies of scale and market share.
Government Regulation
---------------------
The federal government and each of the states in which the
Company's HMOs operate have enacted statutes regulating the
activities of HMOs. The most important laws affecting the Company
are the Federal Health Maintenance Organization Act of 1973, as
amended (the "HMO Act"), and the regulations thereunder promulgated
by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, and the various
state regulations mandating compliance with certain net worth and
other financial tests.
Federal Regulations. All of the Company's HMOs are federally
qualified under the HMO Act. The HMO Act and regulations provide
that, with certain exceptions, each employer of at least 25
employees must permit two "qualified" HMOs to market a health
benefits plan to its employees, with the employer contributing the
same amount toward the employee's HMO enrollment fee as it would
otherwise have paid for conventional health care insurance. Under
federal regulations, services to members must be provided
substantially on a fixed prepaid monthly basis, without regard to
the actual level of utilization of services. Premiums established
by HMOs may vary from employer to employer through composite rate
factors and special treatment of certain broad classes of members,
including geographical location ("community rating"). Experience
rating of accounts (i.e., setting premiums for a group account
based on that group's past use of health care services) is also
permitted under federal regulations in certain circumstances. From
time to time, modifications to the HMO Act have been considered by
Congress. The Company is unable to predict what, if any,
modifications to the HMO Act will be passed into law or what
effect, if any, such legislation would have upon the operations,
profitability or business prospects of the Company.
Among other areas regulated by federal and state law, although not
necessarily by each state, are the scope of benefits available to
members, the manner in which premiums are structured, procedures
for review of quality assurance, enrollment requirements, the
relationship between the HMO and its health care providers,
procedures for resolving grievances, licensure, expansion of
service area, and financial condition. The HMOs are subject to
periodic review by the federal and state licensing authorities
which regulate the HMOs.
State Regulations. With the exception of the Company's South
Carolina HMO, all of the Company's operational HMOs are licensed by
pertinent state authorities. The operations of the South Carolina
HMO are currently under Bankruptcy Court jurisdiction pending a
reorganization of that entity as a division of one of the Company's
other HMOs. The Company believes that it will be able to
ultimately resolve the South Carolina HMO's licensing situation by
changing its legal structure to that of a division of another one
of its operating HMOs, or as a separately licensed HMO in the state
of South Carolina. Presently, the Company is discussing with the
North Carolina Department of Insurance the possibility of operating
the South Carolina HMO as a division of the North Carolina HMO. In
any event, the Company does not believe that the resolution of this
situation will have a materially adverse effect on the Company
taken as a whole.
All of the Company's HMOs are subject to extensive state
regulations which require the HMO to comply with certain net worth
and other financial tests. A number of states have recently
enacted legislation which increases these financial tests. To the
extent an HMO fails to satisfy these regulatory requirements, MHP
may need to infuse the HMO with additional capital in order to
maintain the good standing of the HMO in the state. Under the
HMO's business plans and in order to ensure financial compliance
with state regulators, the Company is currently operating under a
decentralized and segregated cash management system. The Company
has implemented administrative services agreements which provide
for MHP to furnish various management, financial, legal, computer
and telecommunication services to the HMOs pursuant to the terms of
the agreement with each HMO.
The Company believes that it is currently operating in compliance
with the state regulations and has obtained regulatory approval of
the operational and financial plans and related administrative
services agreements for its HMOs.
The issue of health care reform continues to undergo intense
discussion and examination by the public and private sectors. A
number of proposals for health care reform have been introduced by
both state and federal governments which include such concepts as
universal coverage, comprehensive benefits, quality in the delivery
of health care at an affordable price and portability of coverage
for the insured. Many proposals are still being developed. Though
the role of managed care appears to be an integral part in most
proposals, the Company cannot determine the effect, if any, these
proposals may have on the business or operations of the Company, if
adopted.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
-----------------
a. JURISDICTIONAL CHALLENGES AND APPEALS TO THE CHAPTER 11
REORGANIZATION PROCEEDINGS
Immediately after the filing of the petitions, the Debtors were
faced with several motions challenging the jurisdiction of the
Bankruptcy Court over the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases. As of March
11, 1994, the only remaining jurisdictional appeals are the appeals
filed by the State of Wisconsin (the "Wisconsin Appeals"), which
affect the Maxicare Health Insurance Company, ("MHIC") one of the
Company's HMO subsidiaries. The Wisconsin Appeals challenge MHIC's
eligibility to be a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code. The
Bankruptcy Court, the District Court and the United States Court of
Appeals for the Ninth Circuit denied the State of Wisconsin's
motions for a stay of consummation of the Reorganization Plan
pending determination of the Wisconsin Appeals.
On July 9, 1992, the United States District Court for the Central
District of California entered a Ruling on Appeal (the "Ruling")
concerning this matter. In its Ruling, the District Court held
that MHIC is a domestic insurance company under Wisconsin state law
and MHIC was therefore not eligible for relief under the Bankruptcy
Code which excludes domestic insurance companies from entities
eligible for relief thereunder. The District Court remanded the
matter back to the Bankruptcy Court and ordered the Bankruptcy
Court to take action consistent with the Ruling.
The Company, MHIC and other affiliates filed a motion for rehearing
of the Ruling and on August 27, 1992, the District Court denied the
motion for rehearing. The Company has appealed the Ruling and the
District Court's denial of the motion for rehearing to the United
States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. In addition, the
Company, MHIC and other affiliates have filed a motion in the
District Court to stay implementation of the Ruling while the
Ruling is on appeal. A hearing on the motion to stay the Ruling
has been set for June 23, 1994.
The Company has reached a settlement agreement in principle with
the State of Wisconsin memorialized in a written memorandum of
understanding. Pursuant to the agreement, a reorganization plan
for MHIC, in accordance with Wisconsin state law, will be submitted
without prejudice for approval by the Wisconsin State Court. Under
the terms of the agreement in principle, the reorganization of MHIC
must be on terms consistent with the Reorganization Plan. The
implementation of the agreement in principle will have no material
adverse impact on the Company's business or its operations. The
agreement is subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court and the
non-occurrence of certain contingencies.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has issued
an order extending the time for the filing of briefs in connection
with the Company's appeal of the Ruling in order to allow the
parties an opportunity to implement and consummate the settlement.
In the event the settlement cannot be fully implemented, the
Company may pursue the appeal. If prosecution of the appeal
resumes and the Ruling is upheld after MHIC's appellate rights have
been exhausted, creditors of MHIC will likely only have the
protections and recoveries afforded under applicable state law.
In addition to the Wisconsin Appeals, twenty-four appeals were
filed challenging various aspects of the Reorganization Plan's
confirmation order. As of March 1, 1993, twenty-one of these
appeals have been withdrawn or dismissed, two have been stayed
subject to Bankruptcy Court and U.S. District Court approval of
settlement agreements with the class action appellants discussed
below and one has been stayed subject to Bankruptcy Court and
United States District Court approval of the class action
settlement agreements and the non-occurrence of certain other
conditions.
The Company believes it has a meritorious position and will prevail
on its appeal of the Ruling or on the stayed appeals if prosecution
of these appeals resumes.
b. CLASS ACTION LITIGATIONS
On July 15, 1988, a class action complaint alleging various
violations of federal and state securities law arising from the
purchase of the Company's old common stock was filed by Gerald D.
Mirkin in the Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles against
the Company, its former and current officers and directors,
including Peter Ratican, and others including the Company's former
accountants and investment bankers (Mirkin and Miller, et al. v.
Fred W. Wasserman, et al. (Superior Court, Los Angeles County, CA)
(Case No. CA 01122)). This action has been consolidated with two
other actions. These other actions include (i) a class action
lawsuit filed by Charles Miller against the Company and its former
and current officers in the Superior Court of the State of
California for the County of Los Angeles for violation of the
California Corporations Code and California State common law
arising from the purchase and sale of the Company's old common
stock or the Company's 11 3/4% Notes, and (ii) a class action filed
by William Steiner, on behalf of himself and other Company
shareholders, against former and current officers and directors,
and others including the Company's former accountants and
investment bankers in the Superior Court of the State of California
for the County of Los Angeles alleging violation of federal and
state securities laws arising from the purchase and sale of the
Company's old common stock. No class was certified in this
consolidated action. In January, 1990, the trial court dismissed
the action without leave to file an amended complaint, and the
plaintiffs appealed the dismissal. In March, 1991, the Court of
Appeals upheld the trial court dismissal. The plaintiffs
subsequently appealed the Court of Appeals' ruling to the
California Supreme Court. On September 19, 1993 the California
Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals' order precluding the
Plaintiffs from pursuing the consolidated actions. The Plaintiffs
did not seek review of the California Supreme Court's decision by
the United States Supreme Court within the requisite time,
rendering the California Supreme Court's decision final.
Accordingly, the Company will no longer be reporting on this
matter.
On May 4, 1988, a class action complaint alleging violations of
federal and state securities laws was filed by Murray Zucker on
behalf of himself and other Company shareholders in the United
States District Court for the Central District of California.
Murray Zucker, et al. v. Maxicare Health Plans, Inc., et al.
(United States District Court, Central District of CA) (Case No. 88
02499 LEW (TX)) (the "Zucker Action"). A class has been certified
in the Zucker Action.
The Company and certain of its current and former directors and
officers who are named defendants have entered into a settlement
agreement with respect to all of the claims in the aforementioned
actions. Amounts to be paid under the settlement agreement have
been funded entirely by the Company's directors and officers
insurance policy with First State Insurance Company. The
settlement agreement has been approved by the United States
District Court, the class members and the Bankruptcy Court. The
non-settling defendants appealed certain aspects of the District
Court's approval of the settlement agreement (the "Zucker Appeal")
which would preclude such non-settling defendants from seeking
indemnification or contribution from the settling defendants, and
the investment bankers appealed their exclusion from the class, to
the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. On
January 26, 1994, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed the
Zucker Appeal for lack of jurisdiction over the appeal. Under the
Reorganization Plan, former officers and directors who may have
pre-petition claims against the Company for indemnification for
damages in excess of insurance coverage are general unsecured
creditors.
An agreement has been executed between the non-settling defendants
and the settling defendants, pursuant to which the non-settling
defendants have agreed to waive their right to appeal the portion
of the District Court's order approving the settlement agreement
that precludes the non-settling defendants from seeking
contribution or indemnification from the settling defendants.
Under the agreement, the non-settling defendants retain the right
to appeal their exclusion by the District Court from membership in
the settling class. The Company does not believe that the ultimate
resolution of any subsequent appeal by the non-settling defendants
of their exclusion from membership in the settling class by the
District Court, will impact the settlement of the Zucker Action.
c. PENN HEALTH
During the period from March 1, 1986 through June 30, 1989, Penn
Health Corporation ("Penn Health"), a subsidiary of the Company,
contracted with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania through the
Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare (the "DPW") to provide a
full range of health care services to Medicaid enrollees under the
Pennsylvania Medical Assistance Program known as the HealthPass
Program. The DPW was the sole subscriber group of Penn Health.
These services were rendered by providers pursuant to contracts
with Penn Health ("Penn Health Providers"). In consideration for
these services, subject to certain adjustments, the DPW was
obligated to pay to Penn Health a fixed monthly fee per enrollee
based upon Penn Health's fee-for-service costs and a charge for
administration. In addition, for the first two years of the
contract, the DPW agreed to reimburse Penn Health for any financial
losses in excess of $2 million. Under the applicable provisions of
the contract, at the Petition Dates, the Company believes that the
DPW owed Penn Health in excess of $24 million plus accrued
interest, for reimbursement and adjustment of the cost of pre-
petition services, an amount which the DPW disputes.
After the Petition Dates, the DPW advanced funds directly to the
Penn Health Providers for pre-petition services performed under the
contracts with Penn Health. In certain cases the amount of the
advanced funds may have been in excess of the amounts due to the
Provider for such services. The payments made by the DPW
approximated $16 million. The Penn Health Providers filed proofs
of claim against Penn Health and other subsidiaries of the Company,
without making deductions for the payments made by the DPW,
although they noted receipt of such funds on their proofs of claim.
In February, 1990, the Company filed a proceeding in the Bankruptcy
Court against the DPW and the major Penn Health Providers to
recover preferential transfers, to compel the turnover of property
and to raise all objections to the proofs of claim of the Penn
Health Providers, including that the claims asserted therein were
overstated (the "Bankruptcy Action"). The disputes with the DPW
and the major Penn Health Providers, in the Bankruptcy Action
constitute the majority of the claims filed against Penn Health.
On December 13, 1990, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order
dismissing the Bankruptcy Action as against the DPW on
jurisdictional grounds (the "Dismissal Order"). The Company filed
an appeal of the Dismissal Order to the United States District
Court for the Central District of California, which was
subsequently resolved by a stipulation approved by the District
Court. Pursuant to the stipulation, the jurisdictional issue was
remanded to the Bankruptcy Court for redetermination in light of
developments in the case law.
On February 27, 1991 the Company filed a petition against the DPW
in the Pennsylvania Board of Claims, seeking damages in excess of
$24 million (the "Board Action"). In July 1992, the Pennsylvania
Board of Claims (the "Board") denied DPW's preliminary objections
to the Company's petition. In August 1992, the DPW answered the
Company's petition and asserted counterclaims to recover (i) $16
million of payments that the DPW made to HealthPass healthcare
providers purportedly to satisfy Penn Health's obligations to the
providers; (ii) the costs the DPW incurred in processing and
mailing the payments to the healthcare providers; and (iii) $6
million which the DPW alleges was distributed by Penn Health to the
Company, but should have been retained by Penn Health to satisfy
healthcare providers' claims. In the Company's October 14, 1992
answer to the counterclaim, the Company denied the allegations set
forth in the counterclaim. The Company also asserted as an
affirmative defense that Penn Health's discharge in bankruptcy
under the Reorganization Plan is a complete bar to the DPW's
counterclaim. In the event the DPW is successful in its
counterclaims, all of which arose out of pre-petition activities of
the Company and Penn Health, any recovery would be paid out of the
Reorganization Plan funds and there will be no impact on the
Company's cash resources. The Company believes that it has a
meritorious defense to the counterclaim and will prevail on the
counterclaim.
On October 4, 1993 Penn Health filed a remand motion with the
Bankruptcy Court for a determination that the DPW waived its
sovereign immunity by asserting an offset against Penn Health. DPW
opposed the remand motion and subsequently filed a motion with the
Bankruptcy Court requesting that the Court abstain from
adjudicating the Bankruptcy Action and require that Penn Health's
claims against DPW be adjudicated by the Board in the Board Action.
Pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court entered on February
24, 1994, Penn Health's remand motion was granted in all respects
and the Dismissal Order was vacated. Under an order entered by the
Bankruptcy Court on January 24, 1994, the Court abstained on a
preliminary basis from adjudicating the Bankruptcy Action and
stayed all proceedings in the action until September 1, 1994 to
allow the Board an opportunity to adjudicate the Board Action. The
Bankruptcy Court retains jurisdiction over the Bankruptcy Action to
try or hear the action on the merits in the event that the Board
Action is not tried or heard by September 1, 1994, or no
significant progress is made in trying or hearing the Board Action.
In an order dated December 21, 1993 the Board consolidated the
Board Action and two separate actions filed by Penn Health
Providers against DPW to recover payment from DPW for services
rendered to HealthPass members (the "Provider Actions") and set
trial dates in the consolidated actions. Contractual issues
pertaining to the DPW's liability to Penn Health in the Board
Action and to Penn Health providers in the Provider Actions will be
tried by the Board in a trial scheduled to commence on July 6,
1994. A trial to determine damages will be held by the Board on
December 12, 1994.
The Company has, in the past, engaged in settlement discussions
with the DPW and representatives of the major Penn Health Providers
but an agreement was not reached. The pre-petition amounts due to
Penn Health Providers will be treated as unsecured class 11 claims
under the Reorganization Plan. The Company is currently holding
approximately $225,000 in an escrow account, which the Company
believes will be sufficient to satisfy any remaining post-petition
claims of Penn Health Providers.
d. OTHER LITIGATION
On March 12, 1993, MH Healthcare, Affiliate of Methodist Hospital
of Indiana, Inc. ("MH") submitted a demand (the "Demand") to the
American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") for arbitration of a
contractual dispute between MH and Maxicare Indiana, Inc.
("Indiana") concerning interpretation of the provisions of a Master
Agreement dated February 8, 1988, as subsequently amended, (the
"Agreement") by and among MHP, Indiana and MH. MH Healthcare,
Affiliate of Methodist Hospital of Indiana, Inc. v. Maxicare
Indiana, Inc. Under the terms of the Agreement MH agreed to
provide designated healthcare services to members of the health
care plan operated by Indiana in exchange for the rates and fees
designated in the Agreement. In the Demand MH: (i) contends that it
was not paid the appropriate amounts due under the Agreement for
1992; (ii) disputes certain of the premium rates upon which Indiana
based its calculation of payments made to MH under the Agreement;
and (iii) contends that in accordance with the Agreement changes
made by Indiana to the covered services provided to plan members
have materially impacted the actuarial value of the payments due
under the Agreement, entitling MH to an upward adjustment in the
rates specified in the Agreement.
Based on the Pre-Hearing Statement which MH submitted to the
Arbitrator, the Company has been advised that MH is seeking a
damage award of approximately $7.9 million plus interest. In the
event MH prevails in the arbitration, there may be additional
amounts due to MH for the 1993 contract year. Indiana disputes the
allegations of the Demand and MH's damages computation and has
asserted a counterclaim to the Demand to recover overpayments
erroneously made to MH under the Agreement. The parties are
currently engaged in arbitration of the allegations of the Demand
by the AAA which commenced on March 21, 1994. The Company believes
that Indiana has meritorious defenses to the Demand and that
Indiana will prevail in the arbitration.
The Company is a defendant in a number of other lawsuits arising in
the ordinary course from the operations of its HMOs, including
cases in which the plaintiffs assert claims against the Company or
third parties that might assert indemnity or contribution claims
against the Company for malpractice, negligence, bad faith in the
failure to pay claims on a timely basis or denial of coverage. The
Company does not believe that adverse determination in any one or
more of these cases would have a material, adverse effect on the
Company's business and operations.

December 31, 1993 was 17,892. As of such date, the Company held
1,164,778 shares of Common Stock (the "Unallocated Shares") as
disbursing agent for the benefit of creditors and holders of interests
and equity claims under the Reorganization Plan. Of the Unallocated
Shares held as of December 31, 1993, 752,236 were held for the benefit
of creditors of the Company's operating subsidiaries (Reorganization
Plan classes 5A through 5H), 118,400 shares were held for bank group
creditors (Reorganization Plan class 7), 97,272 shares were held for
bondholder creditors (Reorganization Plan classes 8A through 8D), and
196,870 were held for former stockholders (Reorganization Plan class
12). As of December 31, 1993, no shares were being held for the
benefit of Maxicare Health Plans, Inc. creditors (Reorganization Plan
class 9), however, certain of the shares held for the benefit of
Reorganization Plan classes 7 and 8A through 8D will be reallocated to
Reorganization Plan class 9 pursuant to a formula set forth in the
Reorganization Plan. The Reorganization Plan provides that until such
time as any share of Common Stock reserved for a holder of an allowed
claim or allowed interest under the Reorganization Plan is allocated,
the disbursing agent shall deliver an irrevocable proxy to vote the
Unallocated Shares to the independent directors of the Board (as such
term is defined by the Reorganization Plan). Currently, the
independent directors are Messrs. Brinegar and Lewis (the "Independent
Directors"). The Reorganization Plan provides that the Unallocated
Shares shall be voted in the following manner:
(i) 949,106 shares which were held in the claims reserves as of
December 31, 1993 for the holders of Reorganization Plan classes
5A through 5H and Reorganization Plan class 9 allowed claims and
Reorganization Plan class 12 allowed interests and equity holder
claims, shall (a) as to proposals made by the Company, be voted
in the same manner and the same degree as all of the allocated
shares of Common Stock; and (b) as to proposals made by any
person or entity other than the Company, be voted in accordance
with the vote of a majority of the Independent Directors; and
(ii) 215,672 shares which were held in the claims reserves as of
December 31, 1993 for holders of Reorganization Plan class 7 and
Reorganization Plan classes 8A through 8D allowed claims, shall
be voted in the same manner and the same degree as all of the
allocated shares of Common Stock.
(c) Dividends
The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock.

Notes to Selected Financial Data
(1) Expenses were offset by $5,218 and $3,055 of investment
income for the years ended December 31, 1990 and 1989,
respectively, that was estimated would not have been earned
but for the Chapter 11 reorganization proceedings.
Subsequent to the Effective Date, investment income is no
longer offset against reorganization expenses.
(2) Includes a 1992 write-off of unamortized original issue
discount and unamortized issuance costs on the Senior Notes
that were redeemed and a 1992 accrual of a distribution
payable pursuant to the Reorganization Plan based on the
Company's consolidated net worth as of December 31, 1992.
Includes a 1991 accrual of a distribution payable pursuant
to the Reorganization Plan based on the Company's
consolidated net worth as of December 31, 1991 and a write-
off of original issue discount on Senior Notes that were to
be redeemed. Includes a 1990 gain with respect to the
Independence Health Plan of Southeastern Michigan, Inc.
settlement and the discharge of pre-petition liabilities
pursuant to the Reorganization Plan (see "Item 8. Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 3 to the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements").
(3) As provided in the Reorganization Plan, previously
outstanding common stock was cancelled, and 10,000 shares of
Common Stock were issued. Accordingly, per share
information for 1990 was calculated by using the 10,000
shares plus common equivalent shares of stock options and
Warrants when dilutive. Net loss per common and common
equivalent share previously reported for 1989 was calculated
based on 34,640 shares of old common stock. Therefore, the
net loss per common and common equivalent share amount for
1989 is not comparable to 1993, 1992, 1991 and 1990 and,
accordingly, has been omitted.
(4) Includes long-term liabilities of $504, $1,015, $63,177,
$63,388 and $12,323 in 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990 and 1989,
respectively, and in 1989 pre-petition liabilities of
$843,713.
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
-----------------------------------------------------------
and Results of Operations
-------------------------
The year ended December 31, 1993 compared to the year ended December
--------------------------------------------------------------------
31, 1992.
---------
Maxicare Health Plans, Inc. (the "Company") reported net income of
$5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1993, compared to a net
loss of $3.1 million, including extraordinary charges of $14.2
million, for the same period of 1992. Net income per common share
available to common shareholders increased to $.02 for the year
ended December 31, 1993 compared to a net loss per common share
available to common shareholders of $.71 for the same period in
1992.
For the year ended December 31, 1993, the Company reported operating
revenues of $440.2 million, a 6% increase over the $414.5 million
reported for the year ended December 31, 1992. The increase in
revenues primarily results from the Company experiencing an increase
in membership and modest premium rate increases. The increase in
year-to-date operating revenues for 1993 was more than offset by an
increase in health care expenses, contributing to a decrease in
income from operations to $413,000 from $7.8 million for fiscal year
1992. Health care expenses increased for the year ended December
31, 1993 primarily because of a $7.0 million one-time charge
reported in the third quarter of 1993 for previously unanticipated
actual and projected health care costs. These costs primarily
resulted from changes in the Indiana marketplace, the restructuring
of relationships among the Company and its health care providers as
well as unanticipated increases in high cost health care procedures.
The provider network restructuring which began in mid 1992 has been
substantially completed as of the first quarter of 1994.
Marketing, general and administrative expenses increased $2.2
million to $41.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1993 as
compared to 1992; however, these expenses have decreased as a
percentage of operating revenues.
The Company's consummation of the sale of $60 million of Series A
preferred stock on March 11, 1992 and the redemption on April 13,
1992 of the entire outstanding principal, plus accrued interest on,
the Senior Notes resulted in the Company reporting a $14.2 million
extraordinary loss in the first quarter of 1992, the payment of $5.4
million in preferred stock dividends in 1993 and a decrease in year-
to-date interest expense of $2.7 million for 1993 (see "Item 8.
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Notes 3 and 6 to the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements").
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 - Accounting for Income
Taxes ("FAS 109"). This standard requires, among other things,
recognition of future tax benefits, measured by enacted tax rates,
attributable to deductible temporary differences between financial
statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and to tax
NOLs, to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely
than not. Management has estimated, based on the Company's recent
history of operating results and its expectations for the future,
that future taxable income of the Company will more likely than not
be sufficient to utilize a minimum of approximately $15 million of
NOLs; accordingly, the Company increased its deferred tax asset by
$2.8 million to $6.0 million in the fourth quarter of 1993. The
Company has remaining a maximum of $87 million of unutilized net
operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") as of December 31, 1993 which
are subject to annual limitations under Section 382 of the Internal
Revenue Code (see "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary
Data - Note 7 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements").
The year ended December 31, 1992 compared to the year ended December
--------------------------------------------------------------------
31, 1991.
---------
The Company reported an $803,000 increase in income from operations
for the year ended December 31, 1992 compared to the same period of
1991. Income per common share before extraordinary items available
to common shareholders increased to $.66 for fiscal year 1992
compared to $.14 for fiscal year 1991. The increase in the 1992
annual income from operations is due to decreases of $3.1 million in
marketing, general and administrative expenses, $2.8 million in
reorganization expenses, and $1.3 million in depreciation and
amortization expenses which were substantially offset by a $6.3
million decrease in the gross margin due to higher health care
costs. For the year ended December 31, 1992, operating revenues
increased $25.8 million to $414.5 million due to an 80,000 increase
in member months and an increase in revenue per member per month of
$5.00. (Member months is the sum of the total members in each month
during the reporting period). This increase in operating revenues
was offset by an increase in health care expenses as a percentage of
operating revenues (the "medical loss ratio") to 87.5% for the
twelve months ended December 31, 1992 from 85.0% for the twelve
months ended December 31, 1991. The Company experienced an increase
in the medical loss ratio to 90.9% for the fourth quarter of 1992.
This fourth quarter increase is primarily due to higher pharmacy
costs and adverse claims development primarily resulting from
unusually high catastrophic claims.
The Company's consummation of the sale of $60 million of Series A
Stock on March 11, 1992 and the redemption on April 13, 1992 of the
entire outstanding principal, plus accrued interest on, the Senior
Notes resulted in the payment of $4.4 million in preferred stock
dividends while decreasing interest expense by $6.8 million for
fiscal year 1992. In addition, investment income decreased $918,000
for the year ended December 31, 1992 as compared to the year ended
December 31, 1991 because of the lower cash and marketable
securities balance resulting from the redemption of the Senior Notes
and the decline in market interest rates (see "Item 8. Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 6 to the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements").
In anticipation of the redemption of the Senior Notes, the Company
reported in the first quarter of 1992 a $14.2 million extraordinary
loss for the write-off of unamortized original issue discount and
unamortized issuance costs, an accrual for Senior Notes redemption
costs and an accrual for the maximum potential payments, based on
the Company's net worth at December 31, 1992, which may be required
to be made by the Company to creditors pursuant to the
Reorganization Plan (see "Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data - Note 3 to the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements").
Management estimated, based on its expectations for the future, that
future taxable income of the Company will more likely than not be
sufficient to utilize a minimum of approximately $8 million of NOLs;
accordingly, the Company recorded a $3.2 million deferred tax asset
as of December 31, 1992 for the recognition of future utilization of
NOLs in accordance with FAS 109.
The aforementioned income from operations and tax benefit were
offset by the extraordinary charges of $14.2 million, resulting in
the Company reporting a $3.1 million net loss for the year ended
December 31, 1992.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Certain of MHP's operating subsidiaries are subject to state
regulations which require compliance with certain statutory deposit,
reserve and net worth requirements. To the extent the operating
subsidiaries must comply with these regulations, they may not have
the financial flexibility to transfer funds to MHP. MHP's
proportionate share of net assets (after inter-company eliminations)
which, at December 31, 1993, may not be transferred to MHP by
subsidiaries in the form of loans, advances or cash dividends
without the consent of a third party is referred to as "Restricted
Net Assets". Total Restricted Net Assets of these operating
subsidiaries was $23.7 million at December 31, 1993, with deposit
and reserve requirements representing $13.5 million of the
Restricted Net Assets and net worth requirements, in excess of
deposit and reserve requirements, representing the remaining $10.2
million. The total Restricted Net Assets of $23.9 million includes
the restricted cash and marketable securities for MHP and all
subsidiaries. Because of the aforementioned deposit, reserve and
net worth requirements, approximately $7.9 million of the $49.0
million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held by
subsidiaries of MHP could be considered available to transfer to
MHP.
All of MHP's operational subsidiaries are direct subsidiaries of
MHP. With the exception of the Company's South Carolina HMO, all of
the Company's operational HMOs are licensed by pertinent state
authorities; all of the Company's HMOs are federally qualified. The
operations of the South Carolina HMO are currently under Bankruptcy
Court jurisdiction pending a reorganization of that entity to
operate as a licensed HMO in the state of South Carolina. The
Company believes that it will be able to ultimately resolve the
South Carolina HMO's licensing situation with the state of South
Carolina as a separately licensed HMO in such state or,
alternatively, as a division of one of its other operating HMOs to
be licensed to do business in the state of South Carolina.
Presently, the Company is discussing with the North Carolina
Department of Insurance the possibility of operating the South
Carolina HMO as a division of the North Carolina HMO. The Company
can not predict at this time the required capital infusion, if any,
which may result from the separate licensing of the South Carolina
HMO in the state of South Carolina or operating it as a division of
one of the Company's operating HMOs. If infusion of additional cash
resources is required to ensure compliance with statutory deposit
and net worth requirements, the Company does not believe such an
infusion will have a material adverse effect on its operations taken
as a whole.
The operating HMOs currently pay monthly fees to MHP pursuant to
administrative services agreements for various management,
financial, legal, computer and telecommunications services. The
Company believes that for the foreseeable future, it will have
sufficient resources to fund ongoing operations, meet preferred
stock dividend requirements of $2.25 per share annually and remain
in compliance with statutory financial requirements.
Pursuant to the Reorganization Plan, the Company is required to make
distributions based on its consolidated net worth in excess of $2.0
million at December 31, 1991 and 1992 (the "Consolidated Net Worth
Distribution"). In March 1992, the Company consummated the sale of
$60 million of Series A Stock. The proceeds from this sale, plus
internally generated cash, were utilized to redeem in April 1992 the
entire outstanding Senior Notes. The sale of the Series A Stock had
the effect of significantly increasing the net worth of the Company.
The Company does not believe the Reorganization Plan contemplated
either the issuance of the Series A Stock or the redemption of the
Senior Notes, and accordingly, the Company believes the Consolidated
Net Worth Distribution required by the Reorganization Plan should be
calculated on a basis as if the sale of the Series A Stock had not
been consummated and the Senior Notes had not been redeemed. As a
result of the foregoing, the Company calculated the December 31,
1992 Consolidated Net Worth Distribution amount to be approximately
$971,000, which was deposited for distribution to certain creditors
under the Reorganization Plan in March 1993. In addition, the
Company believes that any Consolidated Net Worth Distribution which
under the Reorganization Plan is to be utilized to redeem the Senior
Notes is no longer due as the Senior Notes have been fully redeemed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company elected to accrue in its
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31,
1992 the maximum potential liability of $7.2 million on this matter.
The amount that may be ultimately payable pursuant to this
Reorganization Plan provision, if any, could be less than the amount
accrued. Any additional Consolidated Net Worth Distribution that
may be required will be made from the Company's available cash.
In mid 1992 the Company began restructuring its provider network in
the Indianapolis marketplace as a result of the termination of
contract negotiations with MH Healthcare, Inc. ("MetroHealth"), a
health care provider in that market. Pursuant to the contract which
expired on December 31, 1992, the enrollees in Indianapolis who use
the MetroHealth facilities, comprising approximately 8% of the
Company's total enrollment at December 31, 1993, will continue to
have access to MetroHealth providers through March 31, 1994.
MetroHealth currently offers its own health care product in the
Indianapolis area. Total enrollment in the Indiana HMO decreased
approximately 22% during the first quarter of 1994 from December 31,
1993 but the Company believes that it will ultimately be able to
replace a substantial number of the members who remain with
MetroHealth and that the restructuring of the provider network will
not have a long-term adverse impact on the Company's operations.
MetroHealth and the Indiana HMO are currently engaged in arbitration
of a contractual dispute (see "Item 3. Legal Proceedings - d. Other
Litigation"). The Company believes that the Indiana HMO has
meritorious defenses and will prevail in the arbitration. In the
event MetroHealth is awarded damages in an amount which proximates
the damages MetroHealth contends it is entitled to, and such award
is upheld on review, the award could have a material adverse impact
on the liquidity of the Indiana HMO and the Company.
Although, the Company does not believe that it needs additional
working capital at this time, it has from time to time had
discussions with lenders concerning a possible standby working
capital line. The Company cannot state with any degree of certainty
at this time whether additional equity capital or working capital
would be available to the Company, and if available, would be at
terms and conditions acceptable to the Company.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
-------------------------------------------
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
---------------------------------
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Maxicare Health Plans, Inc.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the
index appearing under Part IV Item 14(a)(1) and (2) on page 70
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Maxicare Health Plans, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31,
1993 and 1992, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits
of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company changed its method of accounting for income taxes in 1991.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Maxicare Health Plans, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("MHP"), is a
holding company which owns various subsidiaries, primarily health
maintenance organizations ("HMOs"). MHP operates HMOs in California,
Indiana, Illinois, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina and
Wisconsin. All of MHP's HMOs are federally qualified by the United
States Department of Health and Human Services and are generally
regulated by the Department of Insurance of the state in which they
are domiciled (except Maxicare, which is regulated by the California
Department of Corporations).
Maxicare Life and Health Insurance Company ("MLH"), a licensed
insurance company and wholly-owned subsidiary of MHP, operates
preferred provider organizations ("PPOs") or primary care provider
network products in Indiana, Louisiana and California and represents
approximately five percent (5%) of the consolidated enrollment of
MHP and subsidiaries (the "Company") at December 31, 1993. In
addition, MLH writes policies for group life and accidental death
and dismemberment insurance; however, these lines of business make
up less than one percent (1%) of the Company's operating revenues
for the year ended December 31, 1993.

======= =======
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and include assets
acquired through capital leases and improvements that significantly
add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of the
asset. Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as
incurred. Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided
on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets. The costs of major remodeling and improvements are
capitalized as leasehold improvements. Leasehold improvements are
amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the
remaining term of the applicable lease or the life of the asset.
Statutory Deposits
Statutory deposits include cash investments that are limited to
specific purposes as required by federal regulations, regulations
in states in which the Company operates or employer groups with
which the Company contracts. The Company had $12.6 million and
$11.4 million in such investments limited by federal or state
regulations at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively, and
$850,000 and $500,000 in such investments limited by employer groups
at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. These investments are
stated at the lower of amortized cost, which approximates market, or
market value. Market value is estimated using published or broker
quoted prices.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over
five years. Accumulated amortization of intangible assets at
December 31, 1993 and 1992 is $1.7 million and $1.6 million,
respectively.
Long-term Liabilities
Long-term liabilities include reserves for various legal matters,
including reserves for medical malpractice claims, and various other
miscellaneous long-term liabilities.
Reorganization Accounting
Costs incurred relating to the reorganization of the Company under
Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code are
reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as
reorganization expenses. These costs consisted primarily of legal,
accounting, compensatory and financial consulting expenses.
Revenue Recognition
Premiums are recorded as revenue in the month for which the
enrollees are entitled to health care service. Premiums collected
in advance are deferred. A portion of premiums is subject to
possible retroactive adjustment. Provision has been made for
estimated retroactive adjustments to the extent the probable outcome
of such adjustments can be determined. Any other revenues are
recognized as services are rendered.
Cost Recognition
The cost of health care services is expensed in the period the
Company is obligated to provide such services. Estimated claims
payable includes claims reported as of the balance sheet date and
estimated (based upon utilization trends and projections of
historical developments) costs of health care services rendered but
not reported. Reserves are continually monitored and reviewed and
as settlements are made or reserves adjusted, differences are
reflected in current operations.
Insurance
Due to the high costs of insurance coverages, the Company's
operating entities, except in South Carolina, are self-insured for
risks on certain medical and hospital claims incurred by their
members. The Indiana operations were reinsured through August 31,
1991 by a wholly-owned subsidiary of MHP and have been self-insured
for such risks subsequent to this date. The North Carolina HMO
maintained reinsurance coverage with a third party insurance carrier
through December 31, 1992 but subsequently has been reinsured
through MLH. The South Carolina HMO continues to maintain
reinsurance coverage with a third party insurance carrier.
In addition, the Company's operating entities are self-insured for
medical malpractice claims.
Premium Deficiencies
Estimated future health care costs and maintenance expenses under a
group of contracts in excess of estimated future premiums and
reinsurance recoveries on those contracts are recorded as a loss
when determinable.
Income Taxes
In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes" ("FAS 109"). The Company elected to adopt the
Statement for the year ended December 31, 1991. This Statement
requires, among other things, recognition of future tax benefits
measured by enacted tax rates, attributable to deductible temporary
differences between financial statement and income tax bases of
assets and liabilities and to net operating loss carryforwards
("NOLs") to the extent that realization of such benefits is more
likely than not.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common and Common Equivalent Share
Primary earnings per share is computed by adjusting the net income
(loss) for the preferred stock dividends in order to determine net
income (loss) attributable to common shareholders. This amount is
then divided by the weighted average number of common shares and
common equivalent shares for stock options and warrants (when
dilutive) outstanding during the period. Earnings per share
assuming full dilution is reported when the assumption that the
preferred stock is converted to Common Stock is dilutive. Earnings
per share assuming full dilution is determined by dividing net
income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and
common stock equivalents for stock options and warrants and for
preferred stock assumed converted to Common Stock (when dilutive).
Stock Options
With respect to stock options granted at an exercise price which is
less than the fair market value on the date of grant, the difference
between the option exercise price and market value at date of grant
is charged to operations over the period the options vest. Income
tax benefits attributable to stock options are credited to
additional paid-in capital when exercised.
Restriction on Fund Transfers
Certain of the Company's operating subsidiaries are subject to state
regulations which require compliance with certain deposit, reserve
and net worth requirements. To the extent the operating
subsidiaries must comply with these regulations, they may not have
the financial flexibility to transfer funds to MHP. MHP's
proportionate share of net assets (after inter-company eliminations)
which, at December 31, 1993, may not be transferred to MHP by
subsidiaries in the form of loans, advances or cash dividends
without the consent of a third party is referred to as "Restricted
Net Assets". Total Restricted Net Assets of these operating
subsidiaries is $23.7 million at December 31, 1993, with deposit and
reserve requirements representing $13.5 million of the Restricted
Net Assets and net worth requirements, in excess of deposit and
reserve requirements, representing the remaining $10.2 million.
Total Restricted Net Assets at December 31, 1993 of $23.9 million
includes restricted cash of $225,000 held by a non-operating
subsidiary of MHP.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts for 1992 and 1991 have been reclassified to conform
to the 1993 presentation.
NOTE 3 - EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS
On December 5, 1990 (the "Effective Date") the Company emerged from
protection under Chapter 11 pursuant to the Company's joint plan of
reorganization, as modified (the "Reorganization Plan") which
provides that on December 31, 1991 and 1992 or within 90 days
thereafter, the Company will make additional distributions, not to
exceed $20.0 million in the aggregate, in an amount equal to its
then consolidated net worth (as determined in the Company's audited
consolidated financial statements) less $2.0 million (the
"Consolidated Net Worth Distribution"). The Consolidated Net Worth
Distribution will be distributed and applied in the following
manner: 40% of the Consolidated Net Worth Distribution will be
distributed ratably to the holders of certain allowed claims in
accordance with the terms of the Reorganization Plan and the
remaining 60% will be applied ratably against mandatory redemptions
of the 13.5% Senior Notes due December 5, 2000 (the "Senior Notes")
as set forth in the indenture governing the Senior Notes (the
"Indenture").
On March 12, 1992, MHP noticed the redemption of the Senior Notes
for April 13, 1992. In anticipation of this redemption, a $7.0
million extraordinary loss was recorded in the first quarter of 1992
for the write-off of unamortized original issue discount and
unamortized issuance costs on the Senior Notes and an accrual for
Senior Notes redemption costs. Also, a $7.2 million extraordinary
loss ($20 million * 40% less $781,000 previously recorded) was
reported in the first quarter of 1992 to accrue payments which may
be made pursuant to the Reorganization Plan, based on the Company's
consolidated net worth at December 31, 1992, to certain holders of
allowed claims. The Company does not believe the Reorganization Plan
contemplated either the issuance of convertible preferred stock (see
Note 6) or the redemption of the Senior Notes, and accordingly, the
Company believes the Consolidated Net Worth Distribution required by
the Reorganization Plan should be calculated on a basis as if the
sale of convertible preferred stock had not been consummated and the
Senior Notes had not been redeemed. The Company has thus determined
the December 31, 1992 Consolidated Net Worth Distribution amount to
be approximately $971,000, which has been deposited for distribution
to certain creditors under the Reorganization Plan. In addition, the
Company believes that any Consolidated Net Worth Distribution which
under the Reorganization Plan is to be utilized to redeem the Senior
Notes is no longer due as the Senior Notes have been fully redeemed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company has elected to accrue in
its consolidated financial statements the maximum potential
liability pending clarification of this matter. The amount that may
be ultimately payable pursuant to this Reorganization Plan
provision, if any, could be less than the amount accrued. The
Consolidated Net Worth Distribution will be made from the Company's
available cash.
The Company's consolidated net worth of $4.0 million at December 31,
1991, before the recognition of the Consolidated Net Worth
Distribution, resulted in an approximate $2.0 million Consolidated
Net Worth Distribution payable being recorded in the fourth quarter
of 1991 ($1.2 million representing the redemption of Senior Notes
and $781,000 representing the distribution to holders of certain
allowed claims). Payment of the December 31, 1991 Consolidated Net
Worth Distribution was made in March 1992. The $781,000
distribution to holders of certain allowed claims, along with the
write-off of $124,000 in original issue discount on the Senior Notes
to be redeemed, was recorded as an extraordinary item in December
1991.
NOTE 4 - LITIGATION
The Company has reached a settlement agreement in principle with the
State of Wisconsin regarding its appeal challenging confirmation of
the Reorganization Plan on jurisdictional grounds. Pursuant to the
agreement, a reorganization plan for Maxicare Health Insurance
Company, a Wisconsin HMO subsidiary of MHP ("MHIC"), in accordance
with Wisconsin state law, will be submitted without prejudice for
approval by the Wisconsin State Court. Under the terms of the
agreement in principle, MHIC's reorganization under Wisconsin law
must be on terms consistent with the Reorganization Plan. The
Company believes the implementation of the agreement in principle
will have no material adverse impact on the Company's business or
its operations. The agreement is subject to approval by the United
States Bankruptcy Court and the non-occurence of certain
contingencies.
In the event the settlement cannot be implemented, the Company may
pursue the appeal. If prosecution of the appeal resumes and the
United States District Court's ruling is upheld after MHIC's
appellate rights have been exhausted, creditors of MHIC will likely
only have the protections and recoveries afforded under applicable
state law. The Company believes that it has a meritorious position
and will prevail on its appeal of the United States District Court's
ruling, if prosecution of the appeal resumes.
On March 12, 1993, MH Healthcare, Affiliate of Methodist Hospital of
Indiana, Inc. ("MH") submitted a demand (the "Demand") to the
American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") for arbitration of a
contractual dispute between MH and Maxicare Indiana, Inc.
("Indiana") concerning interpretation of the provisions of a Master
Agreement dated February 8, 1988, as subsequently amended, (the
"Agreement") by and among MHP, Indiana and MH. Based on the Pre-
Hearing Statement which MH submitted to the Arbitrator and
communications with MH, the Company has been advised that MH is
seeking a damage award of approximately $7.9 million plus interest.
In the event MH prevails in the arbitration, there may be an
additional amount due to MH for the 1993 contract year. Indiana
disputes the allegations of the Demand and MH's damages computation
and has asserted a counterclaim to the Demand to recover
overpayments erroneously made to MH under the Agreement. The
Company believes that Indiana has meritorious defenses to the Demand
and that Indiana will prevail in the arbitration. In the event MH
is awarded damages in an amount which proximates the damages MH
contends it is entitled to, and such award is upheld on review, the
award could have an adverse financial impact on Indiana and the
Company.
The Company is involved in litigation arising in the normal course
of business, which, in the opinion of management, will not adversely
affect the Company's consolidated financial position.
NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND OTHER CONTINGENCIES
Excluded Cash Claims Reserve
On the Effective Date, the Company estimated that payments to
administration creditors and holders of allowed priority tax claims,
allowed claims of secured creditors, enrollee claims, allowed
priority employee claims and allowed convenience claims (the
"Excluded Cash claims") would not exceed $10.3 million; however, if
required the Reorganization Plan further provides for the payment of
up to $16.0 million of such claims. Pursuant to a stipulation, the
creditor committees agreed, provided the creditors have received the
full amount of minimum cash pursuant to the Reorganization Plan
($77.3 million), to make up to the $5.7 million differential out of
cash proceeds from the sales of assets or the settlement of
litigation which were transferred to a trust established for the
benefit of creditors pursuant to the Distribution Trust Agreement in
order to provide for the payment of these claims in excess of $10.3
million. In the event that the Company's exposure to these claims
significantly exceeds $16.0 million, this could have a material
adverse effect on the viability of the Reorganization Plan and the
Company's business and operations. The Company believes that
reserves for the Excluded Cash claims will be adequate to satisfy
these claims.
Leases
The Company has operating leases, some of which provide for initial
free rent and all of which provide for subsequent rent increases.
Rental expense is recognized on a straight-line basis with rental
expense of $2.7 million, $2.8 million and $2.8 million reported for
the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
Sublease rental revenue of $209,000, $198,000, $191,000 is reported
for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
Assets held under capital leases at December 31, 1993 and 1992 of
$153,000 and $761,000, respectively, (net of $1.6 million and $1.1
million, respectively, of accumulated amortization) are comprised
primarily of equipment leases. Amortization expense for capital
leases is included in depreciation expense.
Future minimum lease commitments for noncancelable leases at
December 31, 1993 were as follows:

NOTE 6 - CAPITAL STOCK
On March 9, 1992 the shareholders voted to amend MHP's current
Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized
Capital Stock of the Company from 18 million shares to 45 million
shares through: (i) an increase in the amount of authorized Common
Stock of the Company, par value $.01, from 18 million shares to 40
million shares, and (ii) the authorization of 5 million shares of
Preferred Stock of which 2.5 million shares will be designated
Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01,
("Series A Stock").
Preferred Stock
MHP entered into Stock Purchase Agreements dated December 17, 1991
and January 31, 1992 (the "Purchase Agreements"), pursuant to
which, MHP issued an aggregate of 2,400,000 shares of Series A
Stock to certain institutional investors in a private placement at
a purchase price of $25.00 per share. Each share of Series A Stock
accrues quarterly cash dividends at an annual rate of $2.25 per
share and is currently convertible into approximately 2.7548 shares
of Common Stock. The stock conversion ratio is subject to
adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. The transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreements were consummated on March
11, 1992.
Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company,
holders of the Series A Stock are entitled to receive a
preferential payment equal to $25.00 per share, plus all accrued
and unpaid dividends. In the event of a sale of all or
substantially all of the Company's stock or assets, or under
certain circumstances, if the Company merges or combines with
another entity, holders of the Series A Stock, at the election of
holders of at least 75% of the Series A Stock then outstanding, may
request to have their Series A Stock redeemed in which case they
will receive a redemption price equal to the liquidation preference
amount described above. In certain circumstances, the Company will
have the right to redeem the Series A Stock at a redemption price
of $25.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends.
Additionally, the Company may not create, issue, or increase the
authorized number of shares of any class or series of stock which
will rank senior to the Series A Stock as to liquidation rights
without the affirmative vote or consent of holders of at least
sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the outstanding
shares of Series A Stock.
Common Stock
On the Effective Date, the Company issued 10.0 million shares of
Common Stock to itself, as disbursing agent for the benefit of
holders of allowed claims, interest and equity claims under the
Reorganization Plan. The shares of Common Stock will be validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable upon issuance pursuant to the
Reorganization Plan in accordance with the terms thereof. The
Common Stock has been recorded at a value equal to the book value
of the old common stock, less issuance costs. The Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company prohibits the issuance of certain non-
voting equity securities as required by the United States
Bankruptcy Code.
Stock Option Plans
Pursuant to the Reorganization Plan, Messrs. Ratican and Froelich
("Senior Management") each received options to purchase up to
277,778 shares of Common Stock at a price of $6.54 per option
share. At December 31, 1991, 100% of these options were fully
vested. The difference of $905,000 between the option exercise
price and market value at date of grant was charged to operations
and accrued as a liability during 1991. As of January 1, 1992, the
Company entered into employment agreements with Senior Management.
Under the terms of these employment agreements, each member of
Senior Management received on February 25, 1992 options to purchase
up to 150,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $8.00 per option
share. One third of the options vested on the date of grant and
one third of the options vest on both the first and second
anniversaries of the date of grant.
In December of 1990, the Company approved the 1990 Stock Option
Plan (the "Stock Option Plan"). Under the terms of the Stock
Option Plan, as amended, the Company may issue up to an aggregate
of 1,000,000 stock options to directors, officers and other
employees.

In accordance with the Reorganization Plan, the Company issued
warrants to itself, as disbursing agent for the allowed interests
and equity holder claims. Upon issuance of the warrants (the
"Warrants"), to these holders pursuant to the terms of the
Reorganization Plan, the registered holders thereof will be entitled
to purchase, in the aggregate, 555,555 shares of Common Stock. Such
Warrants (i) are exercisable for the period commencing 180 days
after the first distribution date and ending on December 5, 1995,

The differences between the benefit for income taxes at the federal
statutory rate of 34% and that shown in the Consolidated Statements
of Operations are summarized as follows for the years ended December
31:
1993 1992 1991

------- ------- -----
Benefit for income taxes............ $(2,571) $(3,058) $ 0
======= ======= =====
Upon the Effective Date of the Reorganization Plan, the Company
experienced a "change of ownership" pursuant to applicable provisions
of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result of the ownership change,
the Company's utilization of pre-change NOLs is limited to $6.3
million per year. In the event the annual amount is not fully
utilized, the Company is allowed to carryover such amount to
subsequent years during the carryover period. Should the Company
experience a second "change of ownership", the annual limitations on
NOLs would be recalculated.
FAS 109 requires that the tax benefit of such NOLs be recorded as an
asset to the extent that management assesses the utilization of such
NOLs to be more likely than not. Management has estimated, based on
the Company's recent history of operating results and its
expectations for the future, that future taxable income of the
Company will more likely than not be sufficient to utilize a minimum
of approximately $15 million of NOLs. Accordingly, the Company
recorded an increase of $2.8 million in 1993 to its deferred tax
asset, from $3.2 million recorded as of December 31, 1992, resulting
in an aggregate deferred tax asset of $6.0 million recorded as of
December 31, 1993 for the recognition of anticipated future
utilization of NOLs. The maximum amount of remaining NOLs that may be
utilized in future years before expiring in the years 2002 to 2006 is
limited to approximately $87 million.
The Company's income before taxes for financial statement purposes
for the period of 1991 to 1993 was impacted by the incurrence of
reorganization expenses and interest expense on the Senior Notes.
The Company incurred reorganization expenses of $3.7 million and
$895,000 in 1991 and 1992, respectively. The Company incurred
interest expense related to the Senior Notes, which were issued in
December of 1990 and redeemed in March of 1992, in the amounts of
$9.5 million and $2.7 million in 1991 and 1992, respectively.
Excluding reorganization expenses and interest expense on the Senior
Notes, the Company's cumulative pre-tax income for the period of 1991
to 1993 would have been approximately $29.4 million on a pro forma
basis after reflecting these adjustments.

dilution are reported for the three months ended December 31, 1993
due to the dilutive effect of assuming conversion of the Company's

deferred tax asset in the fourth quarter of 1992 (see "Item 8.
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 7 to the

quarter of 1992 for the write-off of unamortized original issue
discount and unamortized issuance costs on the Senior Notes and an
accrual for the Senior Notes redemption costs. Also, a $7.2
million extraordinary loss was reported in the first quarter of
1992 to accrue payments which may be made pursuant to the
Reorganization Plan, based on the Company's consolidated net worth
at December 31, 1992, to certain holders of allowed claims (see

Employment Agreements
---------------------
As of January 1, 1992, the Company has entered into five-year
employment agreements with Peter J. Ratican and Eugene L. Froelich
("Senior Management"). These employment agreements provide for
annual base compensation of $425,000 for Mr. Ratican and $325,000
for Mr. Froelich, subject to increases and bonuses, as may be
determined by the Board based on annual reviews. The employment
agreements provide that upon the termination of either member of
Senior Management by the Company without Cause or reasons other
than death or incapacity or the voluntary termination by either
member of Senior Management for certain reasons as set forth in
their employment agreements, the terminated member will be entitled
to receive (i) a payment equal to the balance of the terminated
member's annual base salary which would have been paid over the
remainder of the term of the employment agreement; (ii) an
additional one year's annual base salary; (iii) payment of any
performance bonus amounts which would have otherwise been payable
over the remainder of the term of the agreement; (iv) immediate
vesting of all stock options; (v) the continuation of the right to
participate in any profit sharing, bonus, stock option, pension,
life, health and accident insurance, or other employee benefits
plans including a car allowance through December 31, 1996. Cause
is defined as: (i) the willful or habitual failure to perform
requested duties commensurate with his employment without good
cause; (ii) the willful engaging in misconduct or inaction
materially injurious to the Company; or (iii) the conviction for a
felony or of a crime involving moral turpitude, dishonesty or
theft. In the event of a Change in Control of the Company, either
member may elect to terminate the employment contract in which case
the electing member will be entitled to receive a payment equal to
2.99 times that member's average annualized compensation from the
Company over a certain period. Change of Control is defined as:
(i) any transaction or occurence which results in the Company
ceasing to be publically owned with at least 300 stockholders; (ii)
any person or group becoming beneficial owner of more than forty
percent (40%) of the combined voting power of the Company's
outstanding securities; (iii) a change in the composition of the
Board, as set forth in the employment agreement; (iv) the merger or
consolidation of the Company with or into any other non-affiliated
entity whereby the Company's equity security holders, immediately
prior to such transaction, own less than sixty percent (60%) of the
equity; or (v) the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of
its assets. In the event of death or incapacity, the member, or
his estate, shall receive the equivalent of ninety (90) days base
salary and in the case of incapacity, the continuation of health
and disability benefits. The employment agreements also provide
that in the event either member of Senior Management does not
receive an offer for a new employment agreement containing terms at
least as favorable as those contained in the existing employment
agreements before the expiration of such employment agreements,
such member will be entitled to receive a payment equal to one
year's base salary under the terminating agreement. Under these
agreements, each member of Senior Management will be entitled to
receive an annual performance bonus calculated using a formula, as
set forth in the employment agreements, which is based on the
Company's annual pre-tax earnings, before extraordinary items, over
$10 million. In addition, upon the sale of the Company, a sale of
substantially all of its assets or a merger where the Company
shareholders cease to own a majority of the outstanding voting
capital stock, Senior Management will be entitled to a sale bonus
calculated using a formula which is based on a percentage of the
excess value of the Company over an initial value as set forth in
the employment agreements.
In addition, Senior Management remains entitled to receive certain
additional compensation out of funds set aside for distribution
under the Reorganization Plan on the Effective Date or from the
proceeds of assets liquidated on behalf of pre-petition creditors
under the Reorganization Plan.
As of January 1, 1993 the Company entered into an employment
agreement, effective through December 31, 1994, with Richard A.
Link. As of January 1, 1994 the Company entered into an employment
agreement, effective through December 31, 1994, with Alan D. Bloom
and an employment agreement, effective through December 31, 1995,
with William B. Caswell. The contracts provide a minimum base
salary of $197,500, $203,000 and $195,000 for Messrs. Link, Bloom
and Caswell, respectively, subject to increases and bonuses, as may
be determined from time to time by the Chief Executive Officer of
the Company. The contract with Mr. Caswell also provides that: (i)
should he die, his estate shall receive the equivalent of thirty
(30) days base salary; (ii) should the Company terminate his
employment prior to the first anniversary of the contract for any
reason other than death, incapacity, or Cause, he shall receive the
equivalent of his annual base salary; (iii) should the Company
terminate his employment on or after the first anniversary of the
contract for any reason other than death, incapacity, or Cause, he
shall receive the amount of the remainder of his annual base salary
as would have been paid had the contract not been terminated which
amount shall in no event be less than the equivalent of six (6)
months base salary; and (iv) should his employment be terminated
for any reason other than death, voluntary resignation, incapacity
or Cause within six (6) months of a Change of Control, he shall
receive the equivalent of his annual base salary. Cause is defined
as (i) the willful and continued failure to perform duties pursuant
to the employment agreement without good cause; (ii) the willful
engaging in misconduct or inaction materially injurious to the
Company; or (iii) the conviction of a felony or of a crime
involving moral turpitude. Change of Control is defined as (i) the
merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other non-
affiliated entity whereby the Company's equity security holders,
immediately prior to such transaction, own less than fifty percent
(50%) of the equity; or (ii) the sale or transfer of all or
substantially all of its assets. The contracts with Messrs. Link
and Bloom provide that should their employment be terminated under
certain circumstances, they would receive up to the equivalent of
four (4) months base salary.
Compensation of Directors
-------------------------
During 1993, certain members of the Board received compensation for
their services as directors. These members included Claude
Brinegar, Leon Clements, Florence Courtright, Thomas Field, Jr.,
Walter Filkowski and Charles Lewis and they received cash payments
of $33,000, $29,250, $6,000, $31,500, $6,000 and $30,750,
respectively. During 1994, current directors, excluding directors
who are also officers of the Company, will receive compensation for
their services in the amount of $24,000 per year, plus $750 per
meeting. In addition, these directors are entitled to be
reimbursed for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with their services as directors of the
Company.
Non-employee directors of the Company have received options to
purchase shares of Common Stock which are immediately exercisable
at an exercise price equal to the market price at the date of
grant. Set forth below is a schedule of the outstanding options at
December 31, 1993 held by each of the current and former directors,
the date of grant and the exercise price of such options:
Exercise Price

Leon Clements 10,000 May 20, 1991 $ 8.00
Walter Filkowski 10,000 May 20, 1991 $ 8.00
Charles Lewis 10,000 May 20, 1991 $ 8.00
10,000 December 20, 1993 $ 9.63

Company, the exercise term of these options is five years. If the
directorship is terminated, the options expire thirty (30) days
from the date of such termination. Upon the expiration of his term
as a director on February 10, 1993, the Board voted to extend the
period in which Mr. Filkowski could exercise his options to one
year from the termination date of his directorship. In February
1994, Mr. Filkowski exercised all options held.

* - less than one percent
(1) Except as otherwise set forth herein, all information
pertaining to the holdings of persons who beneficially own
more than 5% of any class of the Company's voting stock (other
than the Company or its executive officers and directors) is
based on filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
and information provided by the record holders.
(2) In setting forth "beneficial" ownership, the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission require that shares
underlying currently exercisable options or issuable upon
conversion of the Series A Stock, including options which
become exercisable within 60 days, held by a described person
be treated as "beneficially" owned and further require that
every person who has or shares the power to vote or to dispose
of shares of stock be reported as a "beneficial" owner of all
shares as to which any such sole or shared power exists. As a
consequence, shares which are not yet outstanding are, if
obtainable upon exercise of an option which is exercisable or
will become exercisable within sixty (60) days or upon
conversion of the Series A Stock, nevertheless treated as
"beneficially" owned by the designated person, and several
persons may be deemed to be the "beneficial" owners of the
same securities if they share the power to vote or dispose of
them.
(3) In the event that a tender offer for the Company's shares of
Common Stock is commenced prior to the final distribution of
the Company's Common Stock pursuant to the Reorganization
Plan, the committee elected to oversee the implementation of
the Reorganization Plan after the Effective Date (the "New
Committee") will have certain rights to direct the tender of
the Unallocated Shares. The New Committee disclaims
beneficial ownership over any such shares.
(4) Assumes 10,033,345 shares of Common Stock outstanding, the
conversion of all 2,400,000 shares of Series A Stock
outstanding (or 6,611,520 shares) and, with respect to each
listed beneficial owner, the exercise or conversion of any
option, warrant or right held by each such owner exercisable
or convertible within 60 days.
(5) These shares are held by the Company, as disbursing agent for
the benefit of holders of Reorganization Plan classes 5A
through 5H, 7 and 8A through 8D allowed claims and
Reorganization Plan class 12 allowed interests and equity
holder claims. The Company disclaims beneficial ownership of
these shares. For information concerning the voting of these
shares, see "General Information - Outstanding Shares and
Voting Rights".
(6) Cede & Co. holds these shares as a nominee for the Depository
Trust Company, which is the securities depository for various
segments of the financial industry. None of these shares are
owned beneficially by Cede & Co. Includes 1,228,725 shares
beneficially owned by Chilmark Capital Corp. and Neil Jonathan
Weisman; for further information with respect to these shares,
see footnote (7), below.
(7) Includes 40,000 shares of Common Stock held by the Chilmark
Capital Corp. ("Chilmark") profit sharing plan, and 755,100
shares of Common Stock held in a partnership, of which,
Chilmark is general partner and 433,625 shares of Common Stock
held for two managed accounts for which Chilmark has
investment discretion. Neil Jonathan Weisman is president and
sole shareholder of Chilmark.
(8) Includes 427,778 shares which are subject to options which are
currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60
days.
(9) On December 5, 1990, the effective date of the Reorganization
Plan, Messrs. Ratican, Lewis, Bloom and Clements held 350;
490; 150 and 2,000 shares, respectively, of common stock of
Maxicare Health Plans, Inc., a California corporation ("MHP"),
the Company's predecessor in interest; Mr. Ratican's shares
were held in his individual retirement account. These shares
were cancelled as of that date in accordance with the terms of
the Reorganization Plan. As a result, Messrs. Ratican, Lewis,
Bloom and Clements each holds a class 12 claim under the
Reorganization Plan which will entitle Mr. Ratican to receive
2 shares of Common Stock and 5 warrants, Dr. Lewis to receive
2 shares of Common Stock and 8 warrants, Mr. Bloom to receive
2 warrants and Mr. Clements to receive 11 shares of Common
Stock and 32 warrants. The total number of shares of Common
Stock and warrants which these individuals will receive are
excluded from the shares disclosed as beneficially owned.
(10) All shares (and the calculation of the percentage owned
assumes such shares are outstanding) are subject to options
which are currently exercisable.
(11) Includes 6,666 shares which are subject to options which are
currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60
days.
(12) Includes 46,664 shares which are subject to options which are
currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60
days.
(13) Includes 16,667 shares which are subject to options which are
currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60
days.
(14) Includes 20,000 shares which are subject to options which are
currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60
days.
(15) Does not include the Unallocated Shares, held of record by the
Company. Under certain circumstances, the Independent
Directors, currently Messrs. Brinegar and Lewis and Ms.
Courtright, have rights to vote the Unallocated Shares. The
Independent Directors disclaim beneficial ownership of these
shares. For further information on the voting of these
shares, see "General Information - Outstanding Shares and
Voting Rights", above.
(16) Dr. Lewis, a director of the Company, is employed by a
creditor and/or affiliate of a creditor which have filed
claims under the Reorganization Plan which may entitle such
creditor, or affiliate thereof, to receive distributions of
Common Stock. The total number of shares of Common Stock
which these creditors will receive has not yet been
determined. Dr. Lewis disclaims beneficial ownership of these
shares.
(17) The shares of Common Stock and Series A Stock are held by
Mellon Bank, N.A., acting as trustee (the "Trustee") under two
separate trust agreements for the General Motors employee
pension trusts (the "Trusts"). The Trustee may act for the
Trusts with respect to such shares only pursuant to direction
of one of the Trusts' applicable investment managers. General
Motors Investment Management Corporation ("GMIMCo") is the
investment manager with respect to 200,000 shares (in the
aggregate) of Series A Stock. The shares of Series A Stock
are convertible into an aggregate of 819,002 shares of Common
Stock; the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
the Series A Stock are included in the number of shares of
Common Stock attributable to these holders. Investment and
disposition decisions regarding the shares of Series A Stock
and Common Stock managed by the Trusts' other investment
managers are made by the personnel of such managers, who act
independently of GMIMCo, although the continued engagement of
such managers as investment managers for the Trusts is subject
to the authorization of GMIMCo. Because of the Trustee's
limited role, beneficial ownership of the shares of Series A
Stock and Common Stock by the Trustee is disclaimed.
(18) Includes 12,200 shares of Common Stock and 190,000 shares of
Series A Stock held in a fiduciary capacity by J.P. Morgan and
Co. Incorporated through its subsidiaries J.P. Morgan
Investment Management, Inc. and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company
of New York. All shares of Common Stock and Series A Stock

subsidiaries of J.P. Morgan and Co. Incorporated and the
shares of Series A Stock are subject to the sole voting
authority of these entities. The shares of Series A Stock are
convertible into an aggregate of 523,412 shares of Common
Stock; the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
the Series A Stock are included in the number of shares of
Common Stock attributable to these holders.
(19) The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Series A Stock are included in the number of shares of Common
Stock attributable to these holders. None of the holders
currently hold shares of Common Stock.
(20) All shares are held on behalf of institutional investors and
are subject to the sole voting and dispositive authority of
Froley, Revy Investment Co., Inc.
(21) Mutual Series Fund Inc. (the "Fund") is an investment company
consisting of four separate series of stock. Two of the
series, namely, Mutual Beacon Fund and Mutual Qualified Fund,
are the beneficial owners of 58,000 shares and 130,100 shares,
respectively, of Series A Stock. The shares owned by these
funds are registered in nominee name. Pursuant to investment
advisory contracts with each of the series, Heine Securities
Corporation ("Heine"), an investment advisor, and Michael F.
Price, president of Heine, have sole investment and voting
power over the securities beneficially owned by the series.
However, Heine and Mr. Price disclaim any beneficial ownership
in such shares owned by the Fund.
(22) Linder Fund, Inc. ("Linder") is an investment company which
beneficially owns 507,500 shares of Common Stock and 193,500
shares of Series A Stock. The shares owned by Linder are
registered in nominee name. Pursuant to an investment
advisory contract with Linder, Ryback Management Corporation,
an investment advisor, shares investment and voting power over
the securities beneficially owned by Linder. The shares of
Series A Stock are convertible into an aggregate of 533,054
shares of Common Stock; the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the Series A Stock are included in the
number of shares of Common Stock attributable to these
holders.
(23) Includes 568,000 shares of Common Stock and 100,000 shares of
Series A Stock held in a fiduciary capacity by Snyder Capital
Management, Inc. ("Snyder"), an investment advisor for a
number of investors. No individual investor beneficially owns
more than 5% of any class of the Company's voting stock.
Snyder has sole voting power over 47,000 shares of Common
Stock and 63,600 shares of Series A Stock. Voting power is
shared by Snyder on 442,000 shares of Common Stock and 31,500
shares of Series A Stock. The shares of Series A Stock are
convertible into an aggregate of 275,480 shares of Common
Stock; the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
the Series A Stock are included in the number of shares of
Common Stock attributable to this holder.
(24) Includes 92,199 shares of Common Stock and 328,500 shares of
Series A Stock held in a fiduciary capacity by Smith Barney
Shearson Inc. ("SBS"), a registered broker/dealer. Smith
Barney Shearson Holdings Inc. ("SBH") is the sole common
shareholder of SBS and The Travelers Inc. ("TRV") is the sole
shareholder of SBH. However, SBH and TRV disclaim any
beneficial ownership in such shares. The shares of Series A
Stock are convertible into an aggregate of 904,952 shares of
Common Stock; the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Series A Stock are included in the number of
shares of Common Stock attributable to this holder. SBS has
sole voting power over approximately 915,315 shares, including
those shares issuable upon conversion of Series A Stock.
(25) Bear Stearns Securities Corp. is the record holder of these
shares; however, all shares are held on behalf of investors.
Bear Stearns Securities Corp. disclaims beneficial ownership
of all shares.
(26) Includes 1,093,880 shares which are subject to options which
are currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60
days. Also, on December 5, 1990, the Effective Date of the
Reorganization Plan, certain officers and directors of the
Company held an aggregate of 3,790 shares of common stock of
MHP, the Company's predecessor in interest. These shares were
cancelled as of that date in accordance with the terms of the
Reorganization Plan. As a result, these executive officers
and directors each holds a class 12 claim under the
Reorganization Plan which entitle them to receive an aggregate
of 19 shares of Common Stock and 60 warrants to purchase
Common Stock. The total number of shares of Common Stock and
warrants which these individuals will receive are excluded
from the shares disclosed as beneficially owned.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF REGISTRANT
Note 1 - General
----------------
The condensed financial information of the registrant ("MHP")
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and the notes to consolidated financial statements which
are included elsewhere herein.
Note 2 - Transactions with Affiliates
-------------------------------------
The Company is operating on a post-Effective Date basis under a
decentralized and segregated cash management system. The operating
subsidiaries currently pay monthly fees to MHP pursuant to
administrative services agreements.
Effective January 1, 1991 MHP acquired the stock of Maxicare
Southeast Health Plans, Inc. from Maxicare (a California
corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of MHP) for $2.8 million
through the issuance of a two year, 9% promissory note with
principal and interest payable semi-annually. Effective July 1,
1991 MHP acquired the stock of Maxicare Health Plans of the
Midwest, Inc. from Maxicare for $4.2 million through the issuance
of a two year, 9% promissory note with principal and interest
payable semi-annually.
On October 1, 1992 MHP and HCS Computer, Inc. (a wholly-owned
subsidiary of MHP that provides computer and telecommunications
services to the Company) merged their operations. Accordingly,
MHP's Condensed Statement of Operations for the year ended December
31, 1992 includes the results of operations of the computer and
telecommunications operations for the three months ended December
31, 1992.
Note 3 - Commitments and Other Contingencies
--------------------------------------------
MHP's assets held under capital leases at December 31, 1993 and
1992 of $145,000 and $745,000, respectively, (net of $1.6 million
and $1.1 million, respectively, of accumulated amortization) are
comprised primarily of equipment leases.
Future minimum lease commitments of $97,000 for noncancelable
leases at December 31, 1993 are all payable in 1994; therefore,
there are no long-term lease obligations.

ARTICLE I.
OFFICES
Section 1. PRINCIPAL OFFICE. The Board of Directors
shall fix the location of the principal executive office of the
Corporation at any place within or outside the State of Delaware.
Section 2. OTHER OFFICES. The Board of Directors may at
any time establish branch or subordinate offices at any place or
places where the Corporation shall determine.
ARTICLE II.
MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS
Section 1. PLACE OF MEETINGS. Meetings of stockholders
shall be held at any place within or outside the State of Delaware
designated by the Board of Directors. In the absence of any such
designation, stockholders' meetings shall be held at the principal
executive office of the Corporation.
Section 2. ANNUAL MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS. The annual
meeting of stockholders shall be held each year on a date and at a
time designated by the Board of Directors. At each annual meeting
directors shall be elected and any other proper business may be
transacted.
Section 3. SPECIAL MEETINGS. A special meeting of the
stockholders may be called at any time for any purpose or purposes
by the Board of Directors, the Chairman or Vice-President of the
Board, the President of the Corporation or by a committee of the
Board which has been duly designated by the Board and whose powers
and authority, as provided in a resolution of the Board or in these
bylaws, include the power to call such meetings, and such special
meetings shall be called by the President of the Corporation at the
request in writing of stockholders owning at least a majority in
amount of the entire capital stock of the Corporation issued and
outstanding and entitled to vote. Such stockholders' request shall
state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting. Business
transacted at any special meeting shall be limited to matters
relating to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of
meeting.
Section 4. NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDERS' MEETINGS. All
notices of meetings of stockholders shall be sent or otherwise
given in accordance with Section 5 of this Article II not less than
ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the
meeting being noticed. The notice shall specify the place, date
and hour of the meeting and in the case of a special meeting, the
purpose(s) for which the meeting is called. The notice of any
meeting at which directors are to be elected shall include the name
of any nominee or nominees.
Section 5. MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE; AFFIDAVIT OF NOTICE.
Notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be given either
personally or by first-class mail or telegraphic or other written
communication, charges prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at the
address of such stockholder appearing on the books of the
Corporation. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the
United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at
his address as it appears on the records of the Corporation.
An affidavit of the mailing or other means of giving an
notice of any stockholders' meeting shall be executed by the
Secretary, Assistant Secretary or any transfer agent of the
Corporation giving such notice, and shall be filed and maintained
in the minute books of the Corporation.
Section 6. QUORUM. At all meetings of stockholders,
except as otherwise required by statute or by the Certificate of
Incorporation, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of
a majority of the shares of stock outstanding and entitled to vote
at any meeting of stockholders shall constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business. The stockholders present at a duly called
or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to do
business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of
enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum, if any action
taken (other than adjournment) is approved by at least a majority
of the shares required to constitute a quorum.
Section 7. ADJOURNED MEETING AND NOTICE THEREOF. Any
stockholders' meeting, annual or special, whether or not a quorum
is present, may by adjourned from time to time by the vote of the
majority of the shares represented at such meeting, either in
person or by proxy.
When any meeting of stockholders, either annual or
special, is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be
given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are
announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless
a new record date for the adjourned meeting is fixed, or unless the
adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days from the date set for
the original meeting, in which case the Board of Directors shall
set a new record date. Notice of any such adjourned meeting, if
required, shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to
vote at the adjourned meeting in accordance with the provisions of
Sections 4 and 5 of this Article II. At any adjourned meeting the
Corporation may transact any business which might have been
transacted at the original meeting.
Section 8. ORGANIZATION. At every meeting of
stockholders, the President, or in his absence the Chairman or Vice
Chairman of the Board, shall act as chairman of the meeting and the
Secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting. In case none of
the officers designated above to act as chairman or secretary of
the meeting, respectively, shall be present, a chairman or a
secretary of the meeting, as the case may be, may be chosen by a
majority of the votes cast at such meeting by the holders of shares
present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at
the meeting.
Section 9. VOTING. The stockholders entitled to vote at
any meeting of stockholders shall be determined in accordance with
the provisions of Section 11 of this Article II, subject to the
provisions of Section 217 the Delaware General Corporation Law
(relating to voting rights of fiduciaries, pledgors and joint
owners of stock). Any stockholder entitled to vote on any matter
(other than the election of directors) may vote part of the shares
in favor of the proposal and refrain from voting the remaining
shares or vote them against the proposal but, if the stockholder
fails to specify the number of shares such stockholder is voting
affirmatively, it will be conclusively presumed that the
stockholder's approving vote is with respect to all shares such
stockholder is entitled to vote. If a quorum is present, the
affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented at the
meeting and voting on any matter shall be the act of the
stockholders, unless the vote of a greater number or voting by
classes is required by these Bylaws, the Certificate of
Incorporation or by statute. Directors shall be elected by a
plurality of the votes of the shares represented at the meeting and
entitled to vote on the election of directors. No stockholder shall
be entitled to cumulate votes on any matter at any meeting of
stockholders.
Section 10. WAIVER OF NOTICE OR CONSENT BY ABSENT
STOCKHOLDERS. Whenever notice is required to be given to the
stockholders under any provision of the General Corporation Law or
the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, a written waiver
thereof, signed by a stockholder entitled to notice, whether before
or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to
notice. Attendance of a stockholder at a meeting shall constitute
a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the stockholder
attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the
beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business
because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither
the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular
or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any
written waiver of notice.
Section 11. RECORD DATE. In order that the Corporation
may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at
any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to
express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting,
or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other
distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise
any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of
stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of
Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not
precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date
is adopted by the Board of Directors and which record date: (1) in
the case of determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any
meeting of stockholders or adjournment thereof, shall not be more
than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of
such meeting; (2) in the case of determination of stockholders
entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without
a meeting, shall not be more than ten (10) days from the date upon
which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board
of Directors; and (3) in the case of any such action, shall not be
more than sixty (60) days prior to such other action. If no record
date is fixed: (1) the record date for determining stockholders
entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall
be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on
which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of
business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is
held; (2) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to
express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting
when no prior action of the Board of Directors is required by law,
shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting
forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the
Corporation in accordance with applicable law, or, if prior action
by the Board of Directors is required by law, shall be at the close
of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the
resolution relating to taking such prior action; and (3) the record
date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at
the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors
adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of
stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a
meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the
meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a
new record date for the adjourned meeting.
Section 12. PROXIES. Each stockholder entitled to vote
at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or
persons to act for him by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted
or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy
provides for a longer period.
Section 13. INSPECTORS OF ELECTION. The Board, in
advance of any meeting of stockholders, may appoint one or more
inspectors to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. If
inspectors are not so appointed, the person presiding at such
meeting may, and on the request of any stockholder entitled to vote
thereat shall, appoint one or more inspectors. In case any person
appointed fails to appear or act, the vacancy may be filled by
appointment made by the Board in advance of the meeting or at the
meeting by the person presiding thereat. Each inspector, before
entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take and sign an
oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector at such meeting
with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability.
The inspector or inspectors shall determine the number of shares
outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at
the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the validity and effect of
proxies, and shall receive votes or ballots, hear and determine all
challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to
vote, count and tabulate all votes or ballots, determine the
result, and shall do such acts as are proper to conduct the
election or vote with fairness to all stockholders. On request of
the person presiding at the meeting or any stockholder entitled to
vote thereat, the inspector or inspectors shall make a report in
writing of any challenge, question or matter determined by him or
them and execute a certificate of any fact found by him or them.
Any report or certificate made by the inspector or inspectors shall
be prima facie evidence of the facts stated and of the vote as
certified by him or them.
Section 14. NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDER BUSINESS AND NOMINATIONS.
(A) ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
(1) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of
Directors of the corporation and the proposal of business to be
considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of
stockholders (a) pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting
delivered pursuant to Section 4 of Article II of these bylaws, (b)
by or at the direction of the Chairman of the Board of Directors,
or (c) by any stockholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting,
who complied with the notice procedures set forth in clauses (2)
and (3) or this subsection (A) and this bylaw and who was a
stockholder of record at the time such notice is delivered to the
Secretary of the Corporation.
(2) For nominations or other business to be properly
brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to
clause (c) of the foregoing subsection (A) (1) of this bylaw, the
stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the
Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's notice
shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive
officers of the Corporation not less than seventy (70) days nor
more than ninety (90) days prior to the first anniversary of the
preceding year's annual meeting; provided, however, that in the
event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than
twenty (20) days or delayed by more than seventy (70) days from
such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must
be so delivered not earlier than the ninetieth (90th) day prior to
such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the
later of the seventieth (70th) day prior to such annual meeting or
the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement
of the date of such meeting is first made. Such stockholder's
notice shall set forth (a) as to each person who the stockholder
proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director, all
information relating to such person that is required to be
disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or
is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), including such person's written consent to being
named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a
director if elected; (b) as to any other business that the
stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief
description of the business desired to be brought before the
meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting
and any material interest in such business of such stockholder and
the beneficial owner, if any on whose behalf the proposal is made,
and (c) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial
owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made,
(i) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the
Corporation's books, and of such beneficial owner, and (ii) the
class and number of shares of the capital stock of the Corporation
which are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and
such beneficial owner.
(3) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of
subsection (a) (2) of this bylaw to the contrary, in the event that
the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of
the Corporation is increased and there is no public announcement
naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of
the increased Board of Directors made by the Corporation at least
eighty (80) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding
year's annual meeting, a stockholder's notice required by this
bylaw shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to
nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it
shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the
principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the
close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on
which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.
(B) SPECIAL MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS
As set forth in Section 3 of Article II above, only such
business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as
shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to Section 4 of
Article II of these bylaws. Nominations of persons for election to
the Board of Directors shall be made at a special meeting of
stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the
Corporation's notice of meeting (a) by or at the direction of the
Board of Directors, or (b) by any stockholder of the Corporation
who is entitled to vote at the meeting, who complies with the
notice procedures set forth in this bylaw and who is a stockholder
of record at the time such notice is delivered to the Secretary of
the Corporation. Nominations by stockholders of person for
election to the Board of Directors may be made at such a special
meeting of stockholders if the stockholder's notice as required by
subsection (A) (2) of this bylaw shall be delivered to the
Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of
the Corporation no later than the close of business on the
thirtieth (30th) day prior to such special meeting or, if fewer
than thirty (30) days notice of such meeting is given, no later
than the fifth (5th) day following the day on which public
announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and
of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at
such meeting.
(C) GENERAL
(1) Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this bylaw shall be eligible to serve as
directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of
stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in
accordance with the procedures set forth in this bylaw. Except as
otherwise provide by law, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation
of the Corporation, as amended, or these bylaws, the chairman of
the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a
nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the
meeting was made in accordance with the procedures set forth in
this bylaw and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in
compliance with this bylaw, to declare that such defective proposal
or nomination shall be disregarded.
(2) For purposes of this bylaw, "public announcement"
shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones
News Service Associated Press or comparable national news service
or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15
(d) of the Exchange Act.
(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
bylaw, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable
requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this bylaw.
Nothing in this bylaw shall be deemed to affect any rights of
stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation's
proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.
ARTICLE III.
DIRECTORS
Section 1. POWERS. The Board of Directors shall exercise
all of the powers of the Corporation except such as are by law, or
by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation or by these
Bylaws, conferred upon or reserved to the stockholders.
Section 2. NUMBER OF DIRECTORS. The number of directors
which shall constitute the Board of Directors of the Corporation
shall initially be nine (9). The number of directors may from time

majority vote of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon.
The directors shall, except for filling vacancies (whether

Chapter 7 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code.
8. COMPENSATION UPON TERMINATION. In the event this
Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7, the Company shall
pay to Employee such compensation as Employee is entitled to
receive pursuant to Section 4, prorated through the date of said
termination. In the event that such termination arises under
Section 7(a), Employee's estate shall be entitled to receive
severance compensation equal to such amount of Employee's annual
base salary as would have been paid over a thirty (30) day
period. In the event that such termination arises under Section
7(e), Employee shall be entitled to receive severance
compensation in an amount equal to such amount of Employee's
annual base salary as would have been paid over a four (4) month
period. In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the
Company or its successor in interest in connection with, or as a
result of, a Change in Control or for any reason other than as
set forth in Sections 7(a) - (d) hereof within six (6) months of
a Change in Control, Employee shall, in lieu of any severance
compensation payable pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence, be entitled to receive severance compensation in an
amount equal to such amount of Employee's annual base salary as
would have been paid over a four (4) month period. Any and all
severance amounts paid pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 8 shall be paid in one lump sum installment. The
treatment of Employee's Stock Options shall be governed by the
terms of the Company's 1990 Stock Option Plan and the Stock
Option Agreement.
9. COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE. Employee covenants and
agrees that during the term of his employment by the Company
pursuant to this Agreement he will not, directly or indirectly,
own, manage, operate, join, control or become employed by, or
render any services of any advisory nature or otherwise, or
participate in the ownership, management, operation or control
of, any business which competes with the business of the Company
or any of its affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Employee shall not be prevented from investing his assets in
such form or manner as will not require any services on the part
of Employee in the operation of the affairs of a company in
which investments are made, provided such company is not engaged
in a business competitive to the Company, or if it is in
competition with the Company, provided its stock is publicly
traded and Employee owns less than one percent (1%) of the
outstanding stock of that company.
10. CONFIDENTIALITY. Employee covenants and agrees that
he will not at any time during or after the termination of his
employment by the Company reveal, divulge or make known to any
person, firm or corporation any information, knowledge or data
of a proprietary nature relating to the business of the Company
or any of its affiliates which is not or has not become
generally known or public. Employee shall hold, in a fiduciary
capacity, for the benefit of the Company, all information,
knowledge or data of a proprietary nature, relating to or
concerned with, the operations, customers, developments, sales,
business and affairs of the Company and its affiliates which is
not generally known to the public and which is or was obtained
by the Employee during his employment by the Company. Employee
recognizes and acknowledges that all such information, knowledge
or data is a valuable and unique asset of the Company and
accordingly he will not discuss or divulge any such information,
knowledge or data to any person, firm, partnership, corporation
or organization other than to the Company, its affiliates,
designees, assignees or successors or except as may otherwise be
required by the law, as ordered by a court or other governmental
body of competent jurisdiction, or in connection with the
business and affairs of the Company.
11. EQUITABLE REMEDIES. In the event of a breach or
threatened breach by Employee of any of his obligations under
Sections 9 and 10 hereof, Employee acknowledges that the Company
may not have an adequate remedy at law and therefore it is
mutually agreed between Employee and the Company that in
addition to any other remedies at law or in equity which the
Company may have, the Company shall be entitled to seek in a
court of law and/or equity a temporary and/or permanent
injunction restraining Employee from any continuing violation or
breach of this Agreement.
12. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the Company and any successor of the Company. This
Agreement shall not be terminated by the voluntary or
involuntary dissolution of the Company or by any merger,
reorganization or other transaction in which the Company is not
the surviving or resulting corporation or upon any transfer of
all or substantially all of the assets of Company in the event
of any such merger, or transfer of assets. The provisions of
this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the
benefit of the surviving business entity or the business entity
to which such assets shall be transferred in the same manner and
to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform
as if no such transaction had taken place.
Neither this Agreement nor any rights arising hereunder may
be assigned or pledged by Employee. Employee's rights to the
compensation provided for under Section 4 of this Agreement (as
may be limited by Section 8 of the Agreement) and to the
reimbursement for expenses under Section 6 hereof, shall
continue, despite the fact that Employee may cease to be
employed by the Company, and shall survive the termination of
this Agreement regardless of cause. This Agreement shall inure
to the benefit of and be enforceable by Employee's personal or
legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors,
heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.
(b) Except as otherwise provided by law or elsewhere
herein, Employee shall be entitled to all benefits as set forth
herein notwithstanding the occurrence of the following events:
(i) any act of force majeure which materially and
adversely affect the Company's business and operations,
including but not limited to, the Company having sustained a
material loss, whether or not insured, by reason of fire,
earthquake, flood, epidemic, explosion, accident, calamity or
other act of God;
(ii) any strike or labor dispute or court or
government action, order or decree;
(iii) a banking moratorium having been declared by
federal or state authorities;
(iv) an outbreak of major armed conflict, blockade,
embargo, or other international hostilities or restraints or
orders of civic, civil defense, or military authorities, or
other national or international calamity having occurred;
(v) any act of public enemy, riot or civil
disturbance or threat thereof; or
(vi) a pending or threatened legal or governmental
proceeding or action relating generally to the Company's
business, or a notification having been received by the Company
of the threat of any such proceeding or action, which could
materially adversely affect the Company.
(c) Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement
contains the entire understanding between the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified,
altered or amended except by an instrument in writing signed by
the parties hereto. This Agreement supersedes all prior
agreements of the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof. In the event of termination of employment of Employee
pursuant to this Agreement, the arrangements provided for by
this Agreement, by any Stock Option Agreement or other written
agreement between the Company or any of its affiliates and
Employee in effect at the time, and by any other applicable
benefit plan of the Company or any of its affiliates, will
constitute the entire obligation of the Company to the Employee
and performance thereof by the Company will constitute full
settlement of any and all claims, whether in contract or tort,
that Employee might otherwise assert against the Company or any
of its affiliates on account of such termination.
(d) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of California applicable to agreements
made and to be performed entirely within such state and without
regard to the conflict of law principals thereof.
(e) Nothing in the Agreement is intended to require or
shall be construed as requiring the Company to do or fail to do
any act in violation of applicable law. The Company's inability
pursuant to court order to perform its obligations under this
Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. If
any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the
remainder of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full
force and effect. If any provision is held invalid or
unenforceable with respect to particular circumstances, it
shall, nevertheless, remain in full force and effect in all
other circumstances.
(f) With the exception of disputes arising under or with
respect to Sections 9 or 10 hereof, any and all disputes
hereunder shall be resolved by arbitration. Any party hereto
electing to commence an action shall give written notice to the
other parties hereto of such election. The dispute shall be
settled by arbitration in accordance with the then rules of the
American Arbitration Association; provided, however, in the
event the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator within
twenty (20) days after receipt of the aforementioned notice of
arbitration, a single arbitrator shall be selected by the Chief
Judge of the Superior Court of the State of California for the
County of Los Angeles. The award of such arbitrator may be
confirmed or enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.
The costs and expenses of the arbitrator, including the
attorney's fees and costs of each of the parties, shall be
apportioned between the parties by such arbitrator, based upon
such arbitrator's determination of the merits of their
respective positions. With respect to such arbitration, the
parties shall have those rights of discovery as may be granted
by the arbitrator in accordance with California law.
(g) Any notice to the Company required or permitted
hereunder shall be given in writing to the Company, either by
personal service, telex, telecopier or, if by mail, by
registered or certified mail return receipt requested, postage
prepaid, duly addressed to the Secretary of the Company at its
then principal place of business. Any such notice to Employee
shall be given in a like manner, and if mailed shall be
addressed to Employee at Employee's home address then shown in
the files of the Company. For the purpose of determining
compliance with any time limit herein, a notice shall be deemed
given on the fifth day following the postmarked date, if mailed,
or the date of delivery if personally delivered.
(h) A waiver by either party of any term or condition of
this Agreement or any breach thereof, in any one instance, shall
not be deemed or construed to be a waiver of such term or
condition or of any subsequent breach thereof.
(i) The paragraph and subparagraph headings contained in
this Agreement are solely for convenience and shall not be
considered in its interpretation.
(j) This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this
Employment Agreement as of the day and year first written above.

7. TERM OF EMPLOYMENT. The term of employment hereunder
shall be for a period of one (1) year, commencing as of the date
of this Agreement, unless earlier terminated as herein provided.

following events:

(b) Employee voluntarily leaves the employ of the Company,
with or without the consent of the Company;
(c) The Incapacity of Employee;
(d) The Company terminates this Agreement for Cause;

or
(f) The appointment of a trustee for the Company for the
purpose of liquidating and winding up the Company pursuant to

8. COMPENSATION UPON TERMINATION. In the event this

pay to Employee such compensation as Employee is entitled to
receive pursuant to Section 4, prorated through the date of said
termination. In the event that such termination arises under

severance compensation equal to such amount of Employee's annual
base salary as would have been paid over a thirty (30) day
period. In the event that such termination arises under Section

a Change in Control, Employee shall, in lieu of any severance
compensation payable pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence, be entitled to receive severance compensation in an
amount equal to such amount of Employee's annual base salary as
would have been paid over a four (4) month period. Any and all
severance amounts paid pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 8 shall be paid in one lump sum installment. The
treatment of Employee's Stock Options shall be governed by the
terms of the Company's 1990 Stock Option Plan and the Stock
Option Agreement.
9. COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE. Employee covenants and
agrees that during the term of his employment by the Company
pursuant to this Agreement he will not, directly or indirectly,
own, manage, operate, join, control or become employed by, or
render any services of any advisory nature or otherwise, or
participate in the ownership, management, operation or control
of, any business which competes with the business of the Company
or any of its affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Employee shall not be prevented from investing his assets in
such form or manner as will not require any services on the part
of Employee in the operation of the affairs of a company in
which investments are made, provided such company is not engaged
in a business competitive to the Company, or if it is in
competition with the Company, provided its stock is publicly
traded and Employee owns less than one percent (1%) of the
outstanding stock of that company.
10. CONFIDENTIALITY. Employee covenants and agrees that
he will not at any time during or after the termination of his
employment by the Company reveal, divulge or make known to any
person, firm or corporation any information, knowledge or data
of a proprietary nature relating to the business of the Company
or any of its affiliates which is not or has not become
generally known or public. Employee shall hold, in a fiduciary
capacity, for the benefit of the Company, all information,
knowledge or data of a proprietary nature, relating to or
concerned with, the operations, customers, developments, sales,
business and affairs of the Company and its affiliates which is
not generally known to the public and which is or was obtained
by the Employee during his employment by the Company. Employee
recognizes and acknowledges that all such information, knowledge
or data is a valuable and unique asset of the Company and
accordingly he will not discuss or divulge any such information,
knowledge or data to any person, firm, partnership, corporation
or organization other than to the Company, its affiliates,
designees, assignees or successors or except as may otherwise be
required by the law, as ordered by a court or other governmental
body of competent jurisdiction, or in connection with the
business and affairs of the Company.
11. EQUITABLE REMEDIES. In the event of a breach or
threatened breach by Employee of any of his obligations under
Sections 9 and 10 hereof, Employee acknowledges that the Company
may not have an adequate remedy at law and therefore it is
mutually agreed between Employee and the Company that in
addition to any other remedies at law or in equity which the
Company may have, the Company shall be entitled to seek in a
court of law and/or equity a temporary and/or permanent
injunction restraining Employee from any continuing violation or
breach of this Agreement.
12. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the Company and any successor of the Company. This
Agreement shall not be terminated by the voluntary or
involuntary dissolution of the Company or by any merger,
reorganization or other transaction in which the Company is not
the surviving or resulting corporation or upon any transfer of
all or substantially all of the assets of Company in the event
of any such merger, or transfer of assets. The provisions of
this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the
benefit of the surviving business entity or the business entity
to which such assets shall be transferred in the same manner and
to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform
as if no such transaction had taken place.
Neither this Agreement nor any rights arising hereunder may
be assigned or pledged by Employee. Employee's rights to the
compensation provided for under Section 4 of this Agreement (as
may be limited by Section 8 of the Agreement) and to the
reimbursement for expenses under Section 6 hereof, shall
continue, despite the fact that Employee may cease to be
employed by the Company, and shall survive the termination of
this Agreement regardless of cause. This Agreement shall inure
to the benefit of and be enforceable by Employee's personal or
legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors,
heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.
(b) Except as otherwise provided by law or elsewhere
herein, Employee shall be entitled to all benefits as set forth
herein notwithstanding the occurrence of the following events:
(i) any act of force majeure which materially and
adversely affect the Company's business and operations,
including but not limited to, the Company having sustained a
material loss, whether or not insured, by reason of fire,
earthquake, flood, epidemic, explosion, accident, calamity or
other act of God;
(ii) any strike or labor dispute or court or
government action, order or decree;
(iii) a banking moratorium having been declared by
federal or state authorities;
(iv) an outbreak of major armed conflict, blockade,
embargo, or other international hostilities or restraints or
orders of civic, civil defense, or military authorities, or
other national or international calamity having occurred;
(v) any act of public enemy, riot or civil
disturbance or threat thereof; or
(vi) a pending or threatened legal or governmental
proceeding or action relating generally to the Company's
business, or a notification having been received by the Company
of the threat of any such proceeding or action, which could
materially adversely affect the Company.
(c) Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement
contains the entire understanding between the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified,
altered or amended except by an instrument in writing signed by
the parties hereto. This Agreement supersedes all prior
agreements of the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof. In the event of termination of employment of Employee
pursuant to this Agreement, the arrangements provided for by
this Agreement, by any Stock Option Agreement or other written
agreement between the Company or any of its affiliates and
Employee in effect at the time, and by any other applicable
benefit plan of the Company or any of its affiliates, will
constitute the entire obligation of the Company to the Employee
and performance thereof by the Company will constitute full
settlement of any and all claims, whether in contract or tort,
that Employee might otherwise assert against the Company or any
of its affiliates on account of such termination.
(d) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of California applicable to agreements
made and to be performed entirely within such state and without
regard to the conflict of law principals thereof.
(e) Nothing in the Agreement is intended to require or
shall be construed as requiring the Company to do or fail to do
any act in violation of applicable law. The Company's inability
pursuant to court order to perform its obligations under this
Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. If
any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the
remainder of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full
force and effect. If any provision is held invalid or
unenforceable with respect to particular circumstances, it
shall, nevertheless, remain in full force and effect in all
other circumstances.
(f) With the exception of disputes arising under or with
respect to Sections 9 or 10 hereof, any and all disputes
hereunder shall be resolved by arbitration. Any party hereto
electing to commence an action shall give written notice to the
other parties hereto of such election. The dispute shall be
settled by arbitration in accordance with the then rules of the
American Arbitration Association; provided, however, in the
event the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator within
twenty (20) days after receipt of the aforementioned notice of
arbitration, a single arbitrator shall be selected by the Chief
Judge of the Superior Court of the State of California for the
County of Los Angeles. The award of such arbitrator may be
confirmed or enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.
The costs and expenses of the arbitrator, including the
attorney's fees and costs of each of the parties, shall be
apportioned between the parties by such arbitrator, based upon
such arbitrator's determination of the merits of their
respective positions. With respect to such arbitration, the
parties shall have those rights of discovery as may be granted
by the arbitrator in accordance with California law.
(g) Any notice to the Company required or permitted
hereunder shall be given in writing to the Company, either by
personal service, telex, telecopier or, if by mail, by
registered or certified mail return receipt requested, postage
prepaid, duly addressed to the Secretary of the Company at its
then principal place of business. Any such notice to Employee
shall be given in a like manner, and if mailed shall be
addressed to Employee at Employee's home address then shown in
the files of the Company. For the purpose of determining
compliance with any time limit herein, a notice shall be deemed
given on the fifth day following the postmarked date, if mailed,
or the date of delivery if personally delivered.
(h) A waiver by either party of any term or condition of
this Agreement or any breach thereof, in any one instance, shall
not be deemed or construed to be a waiver of such term or
condition or of any subsequent breach thereof.
(i) The paragraph and subparagraph headings contained in
this Agreement are solely for convenience and shall not be
considered in its interpretation.
(j) This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this
Employment Agreement as of the day and year first written above.

injunction restraining Employee from any continuing violation or

a Change in Control, Employee shall, in lieu of any severance
compensation payable pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence, be entitled to receive severance compensation in an
amount equal to such amount of Employee's annual base salary as
would have been paid over a four (4) month period. Any and all
severance amounts paid pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 8 shall be paid in one lump sum installment. The
treatment of Employee's Stock Options shall be governed by the
terms of the Company's 1990 Stock Option Plan and the Stock
Option Agreement.
9. COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE. Employee covenants and
agrees that during the term of his employment by the Company
pursuant to this Agreement he will not, directly or indirectly,
own, manage, operate, join, control or become employed by, or
render any services of any advisory nature or otherwise, or
participate in the ownership, management, operation or control
of, any business which competes with the business of the Company
or any of its affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Employee shall not be prevented from investing his assets in
such form or manner as will not require any services on the part
of Employee in the operation of the affairs of a company in
which investments are made, provided such company is not engaged
in a business competitive to the Company, or if it is in
competition with the Company, provided its stock is publicly
traded and Employee owns less than one percent (1%) of the
outstanding stock of that company.
10. CONFIDENTIALITY. Employee covenants and agrees that
he will not at any time during or after the termination of his
employment by the Company reveal, divulge or make known to any
person, firm or corporation any information, knowledge or data
of a proprietary nature relating to the business of the Company
or any of its affiliates which is not or has not become
generally known or public. Employee shall hold, in a fiduciary
capacity, for the benefit of the Company, all information,
knowledge or data of a proprietary nature, relating to or
concerned with, the operations, customers, developments, sales,
business and affairs of the Company and its affiliates which is
not generally known to the public and which is or was obtained
by the Employee during his employment by the Company. Employee
recognizes and acknowledges that all such information, knowledge
or data is a valuable and unique asset of the Company and
accordingly he will not discuss or divulge any such information,
knowledge or data to any person, firm, partnership, corporation
or organization other than to the Company, its affiliates,
designees, assignees or successors or except as may otherwise be
required by the law, as ordered by a court or other governmental
body of competent jurisdiction, or in connection with the
business and affairs of the Company.
11. EQUITABLE REMEDIES. In the event of a breach or
threatened breach by Employee of any of his obligations under
Sections 9 and 10 hereof, Employee acknowledges that the Company
may not have an adequate remedy at law and therefore it is
mutually agreed between Employee and the Company that in
addition to any other remedies at law or in equity which the
Company may have, the Company shall be entitled to seek in a
court of law and/or equity a temporary and/or permanent
injunction restraining Employee from any continuing violation or
breach of this Agreement.
12. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the Company and any successor of the Company. This
Agreement shall not be terminated by the voluntary or
involuntary dissolution of the Company or by any merger,
reorganization or other transaction in which the Company is not
the surviving or resulting corporation or upon any transfer of
all or substantially all of the assets of Company in the event
of any such merger, or transfer of assets. The provisions of
this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the
benefit of the surviving business entity or the business entity
to which such assets shall be transferred in the same manner and
to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform
as if no such transaction had taken place.
Neither this Agreement nor any rights arising hereunder may
be assigned or pledged by Employee. Employee's rights to the
compensation provided for under Section 4 of this Agreement (as
may be limited by Section 8 of the Agreement) and to the
reimbursement for expenses under Section 6 hereof, shall
continue, despite the fact that Employee may cease to be
employed by the Company, and shall survive the termination of
this Agreement regardless of cause. This Agreement shall inure
to the benefit of and be enforceable by Employee's personal or
legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors,
heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.
(b) Except as otherwise provided by law or elsewhere
herein, Employee shall be entitled to all benefits as set forth
herein notwithstanding the occurrence of the following events:
(i) any act of force majeure which materially and
adversely affect the Company's business and operations,
including but not limited to, the Company having sustained a
material loss, whether or not insured, by reason of fire,
earthquake, flood, epidemic, explosion, accident, calamity or
other act of God;
(ii) any strike or labor dispute or court or
government action, order or decree;
(iii) a banking moratorium having been declared by
federal or state authorities;
(iv) an outbreak of major armed conflict, blockade,
embargo, or other international hostilities or restraints or
orders of civic, civil defense, or military authorities, or
other national or international calamity having occurred;
(v) any act of public enemy, riot or civil
disturbance or threat thereof; or
(vi) a pending or threatened legal or governmental
proceeding or action relating generally to the Company's
business, or a notification having been received by the Company
of the threat of any such proceeding or action, which could
materially adversely affect the Company.
(c) Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement
contains the entire understanding between the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified,
altered or amended except by an instrument in writing signed by
the parties hereto. This Agreement supersedes all prior
agreements of the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof. In the event of termination of employment of Employee
pursuant to this Agreement, the arrangements provided for by
this Agreement, by any Stock Option Agreement or other written
agreement between the Company or any of its affiliates and
Employee in effect at the time, and by any other applicable
benefit plan of the Company or any of its affiliates, will
constitute the entire obligation of the Company to the Employee
and performance thereof by the Company will constitute full
settlement of any and all claims, whether in contract or tort,
that Employee might otherwise assert against the Company or any
of its affiliates on account of such termination.
(d) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of California applicable to agreements
made and to be performed entirely within such state and without
regard to the conflict of law principals thereof.
(e) Nothing in the Agreement is intended to require or
shall be construed as requiring the Company to do or fail to do
any act in violation of applicable law. The Company's inability
pursuant to court order to perform its obligations under this
Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. If
any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the
remainder of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full
force and effect. If any provision is held invalid or
unenforceable with respect to particular circumstances, it
shall, nevertheless, remain in full force and effect in all
other circumstances.
(f) With the exception of disputes arising under or with
respect to Sections 9 or 10 hereof, any and all disputes
hereunder shall be resolved by arbitration. Any party hereto
electing to commence an action shall give written notice to the
other parties hereto of such election. The dispute shall be
settled by arbitration in accordance with the then rules of the
American Arbitration Association; provided, however, in the
event the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator within
twenty (20) days after receipt of the aforementioned notice of
arbitration, a single arbitrator shall be selected by the Chief
Judge of the Superior Court of the State of California for the
County of Los Angeles. The award of such arbitrator may be
confirmed or enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.
The costs and expenses of the arbitrator, including the
attorney's fees and costs of each of the parties, shall be
apportioned between the parties by such arbitrator, based upon
such arbitrator's determination of the merits of their
respective positions. With respect to such arbitration, the
parties shall have those rights of discovery as may be granted
by the arbitrator in accordance with California law.
(g) Any notice to the Company required or permitted
hereunder shall be given in writing to the Company, either by
personal service, telex, telecopier or, if by mail, by
registered or certified mail return receipt requested, postage
prepaid, duly addressed to the Secretary of the Company at its
then principal place of business. Any such notice to Employee
shall be given in a like manner, and if mailed shall be
addressed to Employee at Employee's home address then shown in
the files of the Company. For the purpose of determining
compliance with any time limit herein, a notice shall be deemed
given on the fifth day following the postmarked date, if mailed,
or the date of delivery if personally delivered.
(h) A waiver by either party of any term or condition of
this Agreement or any breach thereof, in any one instance, shall
not be deemed or construed to be a waiver of such term or
condition or of any subsequent breach thereof.
(i) The paragraph and subparagraph headings contained in
this Agreement are solely for convenience and shall not be
considered in its interpretation.
(j) This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this
Employment Agreement as of the day and year first written above.

Chief Executive Officer
EMPLOYEE:
/s/ Robert Landis
Exhibit 10.54
MAXICARE HEALTH PLANS, INC.
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
Maxicare Health Plans, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), hereby grants as of this 5th day of
November, 1993, to Florence Courtright (the "Optionee"), an
option to purchase a maximum of 10,000 shares of its common
stock (the "Common Stock"), at a price per share (the
"Exercise Price") of $10.88 per share (the "Option"), on the
following terms and conditions:
1. GRANT UNDER 1990 STOCK PLAN. The Option is
granted pursuant to and is governed by the Company's 1990
Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") and, unless the context
otherwise requires, terms used and/or defined herein shall
have the same meaning as in the Plan. Determinations made
in connection with this Option pursuant to the Plan shall be
governed by the Plan as it exists on this date. This Option
is not intended to be and shall not be treated as an
incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code.
2. EXTENT OF OPTION. As an officer, employee, or
director with the Company, the Optionee's rights in and to
the Option shall vest as of the date hereof, and the
Optionee may, subject to Section 13 hereof, exercise this
Option immediately for up to the total number of shares set
forth in the first sentence of this Agreement.
While the Optionee continues to serve as an officer,
director or employee of the Company (or a subsidiary
thereof, as the case may be), the Option may be exercised up
to and including the earlier of the date which is five years
from the date this Option is granted (the "Fifth Anniversary
Date"). For purposes of this Agreement, any accrued
installment shall be referred to as an "Accrued
Installment". All of the foregoing rights are subject to
Sections 3 and 4 hereof, as appropriate, if the Optionee
ceases to serve as an officer, director or employee of the
Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be) or
becomes disabled or dies while serving as an officer,
director or employee of the Company (or a subsidiary
thereof, as the case may be).
3. TERMINATION OF BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP. If the
Optionee ceases to remain an officer, director or employee
of the Company (or subsidiary thereof, as the case may be),
other than by reason of death or disability as defined in
Section 4, any unexercised Accrued Installments of the
Option shall expire and become unexercisable as of the
earlier of (i) the Fifth Anniversary Date, or (ii) thirty
(30) days following the termination of Optionee's employment
or termination of Optionee's directorship. No further
installments of this Option shall become exercisable. The
Board of Directors of the Company may extend such thirty
(30) day period for a period not to exceed one (1) year
following the Termination Date (as defined in the Plan), but
in no event beyond the applicable Fifth Anniversary Date.
In such a case, the Optionee's only rights hereunder shall
be those which are properly exercised before the termination
of this Option. Any portion of an Option that expires
hereunder shall remain unexercisable and be of no effect
whatsoever after such expiration notwithstanding that such
Optionee may be reemployed by, or again become a director
of, the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may
be).
4. DEATH OR DISABILITY. In the event of the death
of the Optionee while an officer, employee or director of
the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be),
or in the event of termination of employment or directorship
by reason of the Optionee's Disability (as defined in the
Plan), any unexercised Accrued Installments of the Option
granted to Optionee shall expire and become unexercisable as
of the earlier of (i) the Fifth Anniversary Date, or (ii)
the first anniversary date of the Optionee's death (if
applicable) or (iii) the first anniversary date of the
termination of employment or directorship by reason of
Disability (if applicable). Any such Accrued Installments
of a deceased Optionee may be exercised prior to their
expiration by (and only by) the person or persons to whom
the Optionee's Option rights shall pass by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution. Any installments under a
deceased Optionee's Option that have not accrued as of the
date of his death shall expire and become unexercisable as
of said date of death. For purposes of this Agreement, the
Optionee shall be deemed employed by the Company (or a
subsidiary thereof, as the case may be) during any period of
leave of absence from active employment as authorized by the
Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be).
5. PARTIAL EXERCISE. Exercise of this Option up to
the extent above stated may be in part at any time and from
time to time with the above limits, except that this Option
may not be exercised for a fraction of a share. Upon the
exercise of the final installment of this Option, the
Optionee shall be entitled to receive cash with respect to
the value of any fraction of a share (in lieu of any said
fractional share).
6. PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. The Exercise Price
is payable in United States dollars and may be paid in cash
or by certified or cashier's check, or any combination of
the foregoing, equal in amount to the Exercise Price.
7. INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS; RESTRICTIONS ON
TRANSFER.
(a) The Optionee represents, warrants and covenants
to the Company that:
(i) Any Common Stock acquired by the Optionee upon
exercise of the Option will be acquired for the Optionee's
own account and not with a view to resale on distribution in
violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"1933 Act").
(ii) The Optionee has such knowledge and experience
in business and financial matters as to be capable of
utilizing the information which is available to the Optionee
to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the
Common Stock, and is able to bear the economic risks of any
Common Stock or other securities which the Optionee may
acquire upon exercise of the Option.
(iii) The Optionee understands that the Option has not
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "1933 Act"), that the Option has been issued in
reliance upon certain exemptions contained therein. The
Optionee further understands that because the Option has not
been registered under the 1933 Act or registered or
qualified pursuant to applicable "blue sky" statutes, the
Optionee may not, and Optionee covenants and agrees that
Optionee will not, sell, offer to sell or otherwise dispose
of any such Option in violation of the 1933 Act or any
applicable "blue sky" or securities law of any state. The
Optionee acknowledges and understands that Optionee has no
independent right to require the Company to register the
Option.
8. METHOD OF EXERCISING OPTION. Subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, this Option may be
exercised by written notice to the Company, at the principal
executive office of the Company, or to such transfer agent
as the Company shall designate. Such notice shall state the
election to exercise this Option and the number of shares in
respect of which it is being exercised and shall be signed
by the Optionee or person or persons entitled to so exercise
this Option. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment of
the full Exercise Price of such shares, and the Company
shall deliver a certificate or certificates representing
such shares as soon as practicable after the notice is
received. The certificate or certificates for the shares as
to which this Option shall have been so exercised shall be
registered in the name of the person or persons so
exercising this Option (or, if this Option shall be
exercised by the Optionee and if the Optionee shall so
request in the notice exercising this Option, shall be
registered in the name of the Optionee and another person
jointly, with right of if Optionee is entitled to exercise
any unexercised if Optionee is entitled to exercise any
unexercised survivorship) and shall be delivered to or upon
the written order of the person or persons exercising this
Option. In the event this Option shall be exercised,
pursuant to Section 4 hereof, by any person or persons other
than the Optionee, such notice shall be accompanied by
appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to
exercise this Option. All shares that shall be purchased
upon the exercise of this Option as provided herein shall be
fully paid and non-assessable.
9. OPTION NOT TRANSFERABLE; TRANSFER OF STOCK.
This Option is not transferable or assignable except by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the
Optionee's lifetime, only the Optionee may exercise this
Option.
10. NO OBLIGATION TO EXERCISE OPTION. The grant and
acceptance of this Option imposes no obligation on the
Optionee to exercise it.
11. NO OBLIGATION TO CONTINUE EMPLOYMENT. Neither
the Company nor any subsidiary thereof is by the Plan or
this Option obligated to continue to employ Optionee and
neither the Plan nor this Option shall otherwise interfere
with the Company's or any of the Company's subsidiary's
right to discharge or retire any employee, including
Optionee, at any time.
12. NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER UNTIL EXERCISE. The
Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect
to shares subject to this Agreement until a stock
certificate therefore has been issued to the Optionee and is
fully paid for. Except as is expressly provided in the Plan
with respect to certain changes in the capitalization of the
Company, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or
similar rights for which the record date is prior to the
date such stock certificate is issued.
13. REORGANIZATION OF COMPANY.
(a) Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, or upon a reorganization, merger or consolidation
of the Company as a result of which the Company's
outstanding Common Stock is changed into or exchanged for
cash or property or securities not of the Company's issue,
or upon a sale of all or substantially all property of the
Company to, or the acquisition of all or substantially all
of the stock of the Company then outstanding by, another
corporation or person, the Plan shall terminate, and the
Option granted hereunder shall terminate; provided, however,
Optionee shall be entitled, at such time prior to the
consummation of the transaction causing such termination as
the Company shall designate, to exercise the unexercised
installments of the Option.
(b) In addition to and not in lieu of those rights
granted pursuant to subsection 13(a) above, if provisions
shall be made in writing in connection with such transaction
for the continuance of the Plan and/or the assumption of
options theretofore granted, or the substitution for such
options of options covering the stock of the successor
corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof with
appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares
and prices, the unexercised Option shall continue in the
manner and under the terms so provided.
(c) The Company shall have no obligation to provide
for the continuance, assumption or substitution of the Plan
or the Option by any successor corporation or parent or
subsidiary thereof.

remuneration the appropriate amount of federal, state and
local taxes attributable to the Optionee's exercise of any
installment of this Option. The Optionee further agrees

wages or other remuneration sufficient to satisfy the
Company's (or any such subsidiary's) withholding obligation,

subsidiary) on demand, in cash, for the amount
underwithheld.
15. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed
by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State
of California applicable to agreements made and to be

shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing
signed by all parties hereto.

one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to
be an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.

subsidiary thereof, as the case may be) during any period of
leave of absence from active employment as authorized by the
Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be).
5. PARTIAL EXERCISE. Exercise of this Option up to
the extent above stated may be in part at any time and from
time to time with the above limits, except that this Option
may not be exercised for a fraction of a share. Upon the

Optionee shall be entitled to receive cash with respect to
the value of any fraction of a share (in lieu of any said
fractional share).
6. PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. The Exercise Price
is payable in United States dollars and may be paid in cash
or by certified or cashier's check, or any combination of
the foregoing, equal in amount to the Exercise Price.

to the Company that:
(i) Any Common Stock acquired by the Optionee upon
exercise of the Option will be acquired for the Optionee's
own account and not with a view to resale on distribution in
violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"1933 Act").
(ii) The Optionee has such knowledge and experience
in business and financial matters as to be capable of
utilizing the information which is available to the Optionee
to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the
Common Stock, and is able to bear the economic risks of any
Common Stock or other securities which the Optionee may
acquire upon exercise of the Option.
(iii) The Optionee understands that the Option has not
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "1933 Act"), that the Option has been issued in
reliance upon certain exemptions contained therein. The
Optionee further understands that because the Option has not
been registered under the 1933 Act or registered or
qualified pursuant to applicable "blue sky" statutes, the
Optionee may not, and Optionee covenants and agrees that
Optionee will not, sell, offer to sell or otherwise dispose
of any such Option in violation of the 1933 Act or any
applicable "blue sky" or securities law of any state. The
Optionee acknowledges and understands that Optionee has no
independent right to require the Company to register the
Option.
8. METHOD OF EXERCISING OPTION. Subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, this Option may be
exercised by written notice to the Company, at the principal
executive office of the Company, or to such transfer agent
as the Company shall designate. Such notice shall state the
election to exercise this Option and the number of shares in
respect of which it is being exercised and shall be signed
by the Optionee or person or persons entitled to so exercise
this Option. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment of
the full Exercise Price of such shares, and the Company
shall deliver a certificate or certificates representing
such shares as soon as practicable after the notice is
received. The certificate or certificates for the shares as
to which this Option shall have been so exercised shall be
registered in the name of the person or persons so
exercising this Option (or, if this Option shall be
exercised by the Optionee and if the Optionee shall so
request in the notice exercising this Option, shall be
registered in the name of the Optionee and another person
jointly, with right of survivorship) and shall be delivered
to or upon the written order of the person or persons
exercising this Option. In the event this Option shall be
exercised, pursuant to Section 4 hereof, by any person or
persons other than the Optionee, such notice shall be
accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such person
or persons to exercise this Option. All shares that shall
be purchased upon the exercise of this Option as provided
herein shall be fully paid and non-assessable.
9. OPTION NOT TRANSFERABLE; TRANSFER OF STOCK.
This Option is not transferable or assignable except by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the
Optionee's lifetime, only the Optionee may exercise this
Option.
10. NO OBLIGATION TO EXERCISE OPTION. The grant and
acceptance of this Option imposes no obligation on the
Optionee to exercise it.
11. NO OBLIGATION TO CONTINUE EMPLOYMENT. Neither
the Company nor any subsidiary thereof is by the Plan or
this Option obligated to continue to employ Optionee and
neither the Plan nor this Option shall otherwise interfere
with the Company's or any of the Company's subsidiary's
right to discharge or retire any employee, including
Optionee, at any time.
12. NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER UNTIL EXERCISE. The
Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect
to shares subject to this Agreement until a stock
certificate therefore has been issued to the Optionee and is
fully paid for. Except as is expressly provided in the Plan
with respect to certain changes in the capitalization of the
Company, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or
similar rights for which the record date is prior to the
date such stock certificate is issued.
13. REORGANIZATION OF COMPANY.
(a) Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, or upon a reorganization, merger or consolidation
of the Company as a result of which the Company's
outstanding Common Stock is changed into or exchanged for
cash or property or securities not of the Company's issue,
or upon a sale of all or substantially all property of the
Company to, or the acquisition of all or substantially all
of the stock of the Company then outstanding by, another
corporation or person, the Plan shall terminate, and the
Option granted hereunder shall terminate; provided, however,
Optionee shall be entitled, at such time prior to the
consummation of the transaction causing such termination as
the Company shall designate, to exercise the unexercised
installments of the Option including all unaccrued
installments thereof which would, but for this subsection
13(a), not yet be exercisable. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that any transaction causing such
termination is not consummated, any unexercised unaccrued
installments that had become exercisable solely by reason of
the provisions of this subsection 13(a) shall again become
unaccrued and unexercisable as of said termination of such
transaction, subject, however, to such installments accruing
pursuant to the normal accrual schedule provided in the
terms under which the Option was granted.
(b) In addition to and not in lieu of those rights
granted pursuant to subsection 13(a) above, if provisions
shall be made in writing in connection with such transaction
for the continuance of the Plan and/or the assumption of
options theretofore granted, or the substitution for such
options of options covering the stock of the successor
corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof with
appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares
and prices, the unexercised Option shall continue in the
manner and under the terms so provided.
(c) The Company shall have no obligation to provide
for the continuance, assumption or substitution of the Plan
or the Option by any successor corporation or parent or
subsidiary thereof.
14. WITHHOLDING TAXES. The Optionee hereby agrees
that the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may
be) may withhold from the Optionee's wages or other
remuneration the appropriate amount of federal, state and
local taxes attributable to the Optionee's exercise of any
installment of this Option. The Optionee further agrees
that, if the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case
may be) does not withhold an amount from the Optionee's
wages or other remuneration sufficient to satisfy the
Company's (or any such subsidiary's) withholding obligation,
the Optionee will reimburse the Company (or any such
subsidiary) on demand, in cash, for the amount
underwithheld.
15. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed
by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State
of California applicable to agreements made and to be
performed entirely within such State and without regard to
the conflict of law principals thereof.
16. AMENDMENTS. No amendment, modification,
termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement
shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing
signed by all parties hereto.
17. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be signed in
one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to
be an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.
18. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS. All
representations, covenants and warranties of the parties
hereto shall survive the execution of this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF the Company and the Optionee have
caused this instrument to be executed as of the date first
written above, and the Optionee whose signature appears

THE COMPANY:
MAXICARE HEALTH PLANS, INC.
By: /s/ Peter J. Ratican
Chairman, President and
Chief Executive Officer
OPTIONEE:
/s/ Vicki F. Perry
Exhibit 10.56
MAXICARE HEALTH PLANS, INC.
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
Maxicare Health Plans, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), hereby grants as of this 20th day of
December, 1993, to Alan D. Bloom (the "Optionee"), an option
to purchase a maximum of 7,500 shares of its common stock
(the "Common Stock"), at a price per share (the "Exercise
Price") of $9.63 per share (the "Option"), on the following
terms and conditions:
1. GRANT UNDER 1990 STOCK PLAN. The Option is
granted pursuant to and is governed by the Company's 1990
Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") and, unless the context
otherwise requires, terms used and/or defined herein shall
have the same meaning as in the Plan. Determinations made
in connection with this Option pursuant to the Plan shall be
governed by the Plan as it exists on this date. This Option
is not intended to be and shall not be treated as an
incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code.
2. EXTENT OF OPTION. If the Optionee has continued
to serve in the capacity of an officer, employee, or
director with the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the
case may be) on the following dates, the Optionee may,
subject to Section 13 hereof, exercise this Option for the
portion of the total number of shares subject to this Option
set opposite the applicable date:
Less than one year from the - 0 shares
date hereof
One year but less than two years - 2,500 shares
from the date hereof
Two years but less than three - 2,500 shares
years from the date hereof
Three years but less than four - 2,500 shares
years from the date hereof
The foregoing rights are cumulative and, while the Optionee
continues to serve as an officer, director or employee of
the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be),
may be exercised up to and including the earlier of the date
which is five years from the date this Option is granted
(the "Fifth Anniversary Date"). For purposes of this
Agreement, any accrued installment shall be referred to as
an "Accrued Installment". All of the foregoing rights are
subject to Sections 3 and 4 hereof, as appropriate, if the
Optionee ceases to serve as an officer, director or employee
of the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be)
or becomes disabled or dies while serving as an officer,
director or employee of the Company (or a subsidiary
thereof, as the case may be).
3. TERMINATION OF BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP. If the
Optionee ceases to remain an officer, director or employee
of the Company (or subsidiary thereof, as the case may be),
other than by reason of death or disability as defined in
Section 4, any unexercised Accrued Installments of the
Option shall expire and become unexercisable as of the
earlier of (i) the Fifth Anniversary Date, or (ii) thirty
(30) days following the termination of Optionee's employment
or termination of Optionee's directorship. No further
installments of this Option shall become exercisable. The
Board of Directors of the Company may extend such thirty
(30) day period for a period not to exceed one (1) year
following the Termination Date (as defined in the Plan), but
in no event beyond the applicable Fifth Anniversary Date.
In such a case, the Optionee's only rights hereunder shall
be those which are properly exercised before the termination
of this Option. Any portion of an Option that expires
hereunder shall remain unexercisable and be of no effect
whatsoever after such expiration notwithstanding that such
Optionee may be reemployed by, or again become a director
of, the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may
be).
4. DEATH OR DISABILITY. In the event of the death
of the Optionee while an officer, employee or director of
the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be),
or in the event of termination of employment or directorship
by reason of the Optionee's Disability (as defined in the
Plan), any unexercised Accrued Installments of the Option
granted to Optionee shall expire and become unexercisable as
of the earlier of (i) the Fifth Anniversary Date, or (ii)
the first anniversary date of the Optionee's death (if
applicable) or (iii) the first anniversary date of the
termination of employment or directorship by reason of
Disability (if applicable). Any such Accrued Installments
of a deceased Optionee may be exercised prior to their
expiration by (and only by) the person or persons to whom
the Optionee's Option rights shall pass by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution. Any installments under a
deceased Optionee's Option that have not accrued as of the
date of his death shall expire and become unexercisable as
of said date of death. For purposes of this Agreement, the
Optionee shall be deemed employed by the Company (or a
subsidiary thereof, as the case may be) during any period of
leave of absence from active employment as authorized by the
Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be).
5. PARTIAL EXERCISE. Exercise of this Option up to
the extent above stated may be in part at any time and from
time to time with the above limits, except that this Option
may not be exercised for a fraction of a share. Upon the
exercise of the final installment of this Option, the
Optionee shall be entitled to receive cash with respect to
the value of any fraction of a share (in lieu of any said
fractional share).
6. PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. The Exercise Price
is payable in United States dollars and may be paid in cash
or by certified or cashier's check, or any combination of
the foregoing, equal in amount to the Exercise Price.
7. INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS; RESTRICTIONS ON
TRANSFER.
(a) The Optionee represents, warrants and covenants
to the Company that:
(i) Any Common Stock acquired by the Optionee upon
exercise of the Option will be acquired for the Optionee's
own account and not with a view to resale on distribution in
violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"1933 Act").
(ii) The Optionee has such knowledge and experience
in business and financial matters as to be capable of
utilizing the information which is available to the Optionee
to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the
Common Stock, and is able to bear the economic risks of any
Common Stock or other securities which the Optionee may
acquire upon exercise of the Option.
(iii) The Optionee understands that the Option has not
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "1933 Act"), that the Option has been issued in
reliance upon certain exemptions contained therein. The
Optionee further understands that because the Option has not
been registered under the 1933 Act or registered or
qualified pursuant to applicable "blue sky" statutes, the
Optionee may not, and Optionee covenants and agrees that
Optionee will not, sell, offer to sell or otherwise dispose
of any such Option in violation of the 1933 Act or any
applicable "blue sky" or securities law of any state. The
Optionee acknowledges and understands that Optionee has no
independent right to require the Company to register the
Option.
8. METHOD OF EXERCISING OPTION. Subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, this Option may be
exercised by written notice to the Company, at the principal
executive office of the Company, or to such transfer agent
as the Company shall designate. Such notice shall state the
election to exercise this Option and the number of shares in
respect of which it is being exercised and shall be signed
by the Optionee or person or persons entitled to so exercise
this Option. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment of
the full Exercise Price of such shares, and the Company
shall deliver a certificate or certificates representing
such shares as soon as practicable after the notice is
received. The certificate or certificates for the shares as
to which this Option shall have been so exercised shall be
registered in the name of the person or persons so
exercising this Option (or, if this Option shall be
exercised by the Optionee and if the Optionee shall so
request in the notice exercising this Option, shall be
registered in the name of the Optionee and another person
jointly, with right of survivorship) and shall be delivered
to or upon the written order of the person or persons
exercising this Option. In the event this Option shall be
exercised, pursuant to Section 4 hereof, by any person or
persons other than the Optionee, such notice shall be
accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such person
or persons to exercise this Option. All shares that shall
be purchased upon the exercise of this Option as provided
herein shall be fully paid and non-assessable.
9. OPTION NOT TRANSFERABLE; TRANSFER OF STOCK.
This Option is not transferable or assignable except by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the
Optionee's lifetime, only the Optionee may exercise this
Option.
10. NO OBLIGATION TO EXERCISE OPTION. The grant and
acceptance of this Option imposes no obligation on the
Optionee to exercise it.
11. NO OBLIGATION TO CONTINUE EMPLOYMENT. Neither
the Company nor any subsidiary thereof is by the Plan or
this Option obligated to continue to employ Optionee and
neither the Plan nor this Option shall otherwise interfere
with the Company's or any of the Company's subsidiary's
right to discharge or retire any employee, including
Optionee, at any time.
12. NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER UNTIL EXERCISE. The
Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect
to shares subject to this Agreement until a stock
certificate therefore has been issued to the Optionee and is
fully paid for. Except as is expressly provided in the Plan
with respect to certain changes in the capitalization of the
Company, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or
similar rights for which the record date is prior to the
date such stock certificate is issued.
13. REORGANIZATION OF COMPANY.
(a) Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, or upon a reorganization, merger or consolidation
of the Company as a result of which the Company's
outstanding Common Stock is changed into or exchanged for
cash or property or securities not of the Company's issue,
or upon a sale of all or substantially all property of the
Company to, or the acquisition of all or substantially all
of the stock of the Company then outstanding by, another
corporation or person, the Plan shall terminate, and the
Option granted hereunder shall terminate; provided, however,
Optionee shall be entitled, at such time prior to the
consummation of the transaction causing such termination as
the Company shall designate, to exercise the unexercised
installments of the Option including all unaccrued
installments thereof which would, but for this subsection
13(a), not yet be exercisable. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that any transaction causing such
termination is not consummated, any unexercised unaccrued
installments that had become exercisable solely by reason of
the provisions of this subsection 13(a) shall again become
unaccrued and unexercisable as of said termination of such
transaction, subject, however, to such installments accruing
pursuant to the normal accrual schedule provided in the
terms under which the Option was granted.
(b) In addition to and not in lieu of those rights
granted pursuant to subsection 13(a) above, if provisions
shall be made in writing in connection with such transaction
for the continuance of the Plan and/or the assumption of
options theretofore granted, or the substitution for such
options of options covering the stock of the successor
corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof with
appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares
and prices, the unexercised Option shall continue in the
manner and under the terms so provided.
(c) The Company shall have no obligation to provide
for the continuance, assumption or substitution of the Plan
or the Option by any successor corporation or parent or
subsidiary thereof.
14. WITHHOLDING TAXES. The Optionee hereby agrees
that the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may
be) may withhold from the Optionee's wages or other
remuneration the appropriate amount of federal, state and
local taxes attributable to the Optionee's exercise of any
installment of this Option. The Optionee further agrees
that, if the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case
may be) does not withhold an amount from the Optionee's
wages or other remuneration sufficient to satisfy the
Company's (or any such subsidiary's) withholding obligation,
the Optionee will reimburse the Company (or any such
subsidiary) on demand, in cash, for the amount
underwithheld.
15. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed
by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State
of California applicable to agreements made and to be
performed entirely within such State and without regard to
the conflict of law principals thereof.
16. AMENDMENTS. No amendment, modification,
termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement
shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing
signed by all parties hereto.
17. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be signed in
one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to
be an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.

representations, covenants and warranties of the parties
hereto shall survive the execution of this Agreement.

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
Maxicare Health Plans, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), hereby grants as of this 20th day of
December, 1993, to Richard Link (the "Optionee"), an option
to purchase a maximum of 5,000 shares of its common stock
(the "Common Stock"), at a price per share (the "Exercise
Price") of $9.63 per share (the "Option"), on the following
terms and conditions:
1. GRANT UNDER 1990 STOCK PLAN. The Option is
granted pursuant to and is governed by the Company's 1990
Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") and, unless the context
otherwise requires, terms used and/or defined herein shall
have the same meaning as in the Plan. Determinations made
in connection with this Option pursuant to the Plan shall be
governed by the Plan as it exists on this date. This Option
is not intended to be and shall not be treated as an
incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code.
2. EXTENT OF OPTION. If the Optionee has continued
to serve in the capacity of an officer, employee, or
director with the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the
case may be) on the following dates, the Optionee may,
subject to Section 13 hereof, exercise this Option for the
portion of the total number of shares subject to this Option
set opposite the applicable date:
Less than one year from the - 0 shares
date hereof
One year but less than two years - 1,667 shares
from the date hereof
Two years but less than three - 1,667 shares
years from the date hereof
Three years but less than four - 1,666 shares
years from the date hereof
The foregoing rights are cumulative and, while the Optionee
continues to serve as an officer, director or employee of
the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be),
may be exercised up to and including the earlier of the date
which is five years from the date this Option is granted
(the "Fifth Anniversary Date"). For purposes of this
Agreement, any accrued installment shall be referred to as
an "Accrued Installment". All of the foregoing rights are
subject to Sections 3 and 4 hereof, as appropriate, if the
Optionee ceases to serve as an officer, director or employee
of the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be)
or becomes disabled or dies while serving as an officer,
director or employee of the Company (or a subsidiary
thereof, as the case may be).
3. TERMINATION OF BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP. If the
Optionee ceases to remain an officer, director or employee
of the Company (or subsidiary thereof, as the case may be),
other than by reason of death or disability as defined in
Section 4, any unexercised Accrued Installments of the
Option shall expire and become unexercisable as of the
earlier of (i) the Fifth Anniversary Date, or (ii) thirty
(30) days following the termination of Optionee's employment
or termination of Optionee's directorship. No further
installments of this Option shall become exercisable. The
Board of Directors of the Company may extend such thirty
(30) day period for a period not to exceed one (1) year
following the Termination Date (as defined in the Plan), but
in no event beyond the applicable Fifth Anniversary Date.
In such a case, the Optionee's only rights hereunder shall
be those which are properly exercised before the termination
of this Option. Any portion of an Option that expires
hereunder shall remain unexercisable and be of no effect
whatsoever after such expiration notwithstanding that such
Optionee may be reemployed by, or again become a director
of, the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may
be).
4. DEATH OR DISABILITY. In the event of the death
of the Optionee while an officer, employee or director of
the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be),
or in the event of termination of employment or directorship
by reason of the Optionee's Disability (as defined in the
Plan), any unexercised Accrued Installments of the Option
granted to Optionee shall expire and become unexercisable as
of the earlier of (i) the Fifth Anniversary Date, or (ii)
the first anniversary date of the Optionee's death (if
applicable) or (iii) the first anniversary date of the
termination of employment or directorship by reason of
Disability (if applicable). Any such Accrued Installments
of a deceased Optionee may be exercised prior to their
expiration by (and only by) the person or persons to whom
the Optionee's Option rights shall pass by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution. Any installments under a
deceased Optionee's Option that have not accrued as of the
date of his death shall expire and become unexercisable as
of said date of death. For purposes of this Agreement, the
Optionee shall be deemed employed by the Company (or a
subsidiary thereof, as the case may be) during any period of
leave of absence from active employment as authorized by the
Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be).
5. PARTIAL EXERCISE. Exercise of this Option up to
the extent above stated may be in part at any time and from
time to time with the above limits, except that this Option
may not be exercised for a fraction of a share. Upon the
exercise of the final installment of this Option, the
Optionee shall be entitled to receive cash with respect to
the value of any fraction of a share (in lieu of any said
fractional share).
6. PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. The Exercise Price
is payable in United States dollars and may be paid in cash
or by certified or cashier's check, or any combination of
the foregoing, equal in amount to the Exercise Price.
7. INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS; RESTRICTIONS ON
TRANSFER.
(a) The Optionee represents, warrants and covenants
to the Company that:
(i) Any Common Stock acquired by the Optionee upon

own account and not with a view to resale on distribution in
violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"1933 Act").
(ii) The Optionee has such knowledge and experience
in business and financial matters as to be capable of
utilizing the information which is available to the Optionee
to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the
Common Stock, and is able to bear the economic risks of any
Common Stock or other securities which the Optionee may
acquire upon exercise of the Option.
(iii) The Optionee understands that the Option has not
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "1933 Act"), that the Option has been issued in
reliance upon certain exemptions contained therein. The
Optionee further understands that because the Option has not
been registered under the 1933 Act or registered or
qualified pursuant to applicable "blue sky" statutes, the
Optionee may not, and Optionee covenants and agrees that
Optionee will not, sell, offer to sell or otherwise dispose
of any such Option in violation of the 1933 Act or any
applicable "blue sky" or securities law of any state. The
Optionee acknowledges and understands that Optionee has no
independent right to require the Company to register the
Option.
8. METHOD OF EXERCISING OPTION. Subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, this Option may be
exercised by written notice to the Company, at the principal
executive office of the Company, or to such transfer agent
as the Company shall designate. Such notice shall state the
election to exercise this Option and the number of shares in
respect of which it is being exercised and shall be signed
by the Optionee or person or persons entitled to so exercise
this Option. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment of
the full Exercise Price of such shares, and the Company
shall deliver a certificate or certificates representing
such shares as soon as practicable after the notice is
received. The certificate or certificates for the shares as
to which this Option shall have been so exercised shall be
registered in the name of the person or persons so
exercising this Option (or, if this Option shall be
exercised by the Optionee and if the Optionee shall so
request in the notice exercising this Option, shall be
registered in the name of the Optionee and another person
jointly, with right of survivorship) and shall be delivered
to or upon the written order of the person or persons
exercising this Option. In the event this Option shall be
exercised, pursuant to Section 4 hereof, by any person or
persons other than the Optionee, such notice shall be
accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such person
or persons to exercise this Option. All shares that shall
be purchased upon the exercise of this Option as provided
herein shall be fully paid and non-assessable.
9. OPTION NOT TRANSFERABLE; TRANSFER OF STOCK.
This Option is not transferable or assignable except by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the
Optionee's lifetime, only the Optionee may exercise this
Option.
10. NO OBLIGATION TO EXERCISE OPTION. The grant and
acceptance of this Option imposes no obligation on the
Optionee to exercise it.
11. NO OBLIGATION TO CONTINUE EMPLOYMENT. Neither
the Company nor any subsidiary thereof is by the Plan or
this Option obligated to continue to employ Optionee and
neither the Plan nor this Option shall otherwise interfere
with the Company's or any of the Company's subsidiary's
right to discharge or retire any employee, including
Optionee, at any time.
12. NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER UNTIL EXERCISE. The
Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect
to shares subject to this Agreement until a stock
certificate therefore has been issued to the Optionee and is
fully paid for. Except as is expressly provided in the Plan
with respect to certain changes in the capitalization of the
Company, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or
similar rights for which the record date is prior to the
date such stock certificate is issued.
13. REORGANIZATION OF COMPANY.
(a) Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, or upon a reorganization, merger or consolidation
of the Company as a result of which the Company's
outstanding Common Stock is changed into or exchanged for
cash or property or securities not of the Company's issue,
or upon a sale of all or substantially all property of the
Company to, or the acquisition of all or substantially all
of the stock of the Company then outstanding by, another
corporation or person, the Plan shall terminate, and the
Option granted hereunder shall terminate; provided, however,
Optionee shall be entitled, at such time prior to the
consummation of the transaction causing such termination as
the Company shall designate, to exercise the unexercised
installments of the Option including all unaccrued
installments thereof which would, but for this subsection
13(a), not yet be exercisable. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that any transaction causing such
termination is not consummated, any unexercised unaccrued
installments that had become exercisable solely by reason of
the provisions of this subsection 13(a) shall again become
unaccrued and unexercisable as of said termination of such

(b) In addition to and not in lieu of those rights
granted pursuant to subsection 13(a) above, if provisions
shall be made in writing in connection with such transaction
for the continuance of the Plan and/or the assumption of
options theretofore granted, or the substitution for such
options of options covering the stock of the successor
corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof with
appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares
and prices, the unexercised Option shall continue in the
manner and under the terms so provided.
(c) The Company shall have no obligation to provide
for the continuance, assumption or substitution of the Plan
or the Option by any successor corporation or parent or
subsidiary thereof.
14. WITHHOLDING TAXES. The Optionee hereby agrees
that the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may
be) may withhold from the Optionee's wages or other
remuneration the appropriate amount of federal, state and
local taxes attributable to the Optionee's exercise of any
installment of this Option. The Optionee further agrees
that, if the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case
may be) does not withhold an amount from the Optionee's
wages or other remuneration sufficient to satisfy the
Company's (or any such subsidiary's) withholding obligation,
the Optionee will reimburse the Company (or any such
subsidiary) on demand, in cash, for the amount
underwithheld.
15. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed
by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State
of California applicable to agreements made and to be
performed entirely within such State and without regard to
the conflict of law principals thereof.

termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement
shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing
signed by all parties hereto.

MAXICARE HEALTH PLANS, INC.
By: /s/ Peter J. Ratican
Chairman, President and
Chief Executive Officer
OPTIONEE:
/s/ Richard Link
Exhibit 10.58
MAXICARE HEALTH PLANS, INC.
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
Maxicare Health Plans, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), hereby grants as of this 20th day of
December, 1993, to Aivars Jerumanis (the "Optionee"), an
option to purchase a maximum of 5,000 shares of its common
stock (the "Common Stock"), at a price per share (the
"Exercise Price") of $9.63 per share (the "Option"), on the
following terms and conditions:
1. GRANT UNDER 1990 STOCK PLAN. The Option is
granted pursuant to and is governed by the Company's 1990
Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") and, unless the context
otherwise requires, terms used and/or defined herein shall
have the same meaning as in the Plan. Determinations made
in connection with this Option pursuant to the Plan shall be
governed by the Plan as it exists on this date. This Option
is not intended to be and shall not be treated as an
incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code.
2. EXTENT OF OPTION. If the Optionee has continued
to serve in the capacity of an officer, employee, or
director with the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the
case may be) on the following dates, the Optionee may,
subject to Section 13 hereof, exercise this Option for the
portion of the total number of shares subject to this Option
set opposite the applicable date:
Less than one year from the - 0 shares
date hereof
One year but less than two years - 1,667 shares
from the date hereof
Two years but less than three - 1,667 shares
years from the date hereof
Three years but less than four - 1,666 shares
years from the date hereof
The foregoing rights are cumulative and, while the Optionee
continues to serve as an officer, director or employee of
the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be),
may be exercised up to and including the earlier of the date
which is five years from the date this Option is granted
(the "Fifth Anniversary Date"). For purposes of this
Agreement, any accrued installment shall be referred to as
an "Accrued Installment". All of the foregoing rights are
subject to Sections 3 and 4 hereof, as appropriate, if the
Optionee ceases to serve as an officer, director or employee
of the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be)
or becomes disabled or dies while serving as an officer,
director or employee of the Company (or a subsidiary
thereof, as the case may be).
3. TERMINATION OF BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP. If the
Optionee ceases to remain an officer, director or employee
of the Company (or subsidiary thereof, as the case may be),
other than by reason of death or disability as defined in
Section 4, any unexercised Accrued Installments of the
Option shall expire and become unexercisable as of the
earlier of (i) the Fifth Anniversary Date, or (ii) thirty
(30) days following the termination of Optionee's employment
or termination of Optionee's directorship. No further
installments of this Option shall become exercisable. The
Board of Directors of the Company may extend such thirty
(30) day period for a period not to exceed one (1) year
following the Termination Date (as defined in the Plan), but
in no event beyond the applicable Fifth Anniversary Date.
In such a case, the Optionee's only rights hereunder shall
be those which are properly exercised before the termination
of this Option. Any portion of an Option that expires
hereunder shall remain unexercisable and be of no effect
whatsoever after such expiration notwithstanding that such
Optionee may be reemployed by, or again become a director
of, the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may
be).
4. DEATH OR DISABILITY. In the event of the death
of the Optionee while an officer, employee or director of
the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be),
or in the event of termination of employment or directorship
by reason of the Optionee's Disability (as defined in the
Plan), any unexercised Accrued Installments of the Option
granted to Optionee shall expire and become unexercisable as
of the earlier of (i) the Fifth Anniversary Date, or (ii)
the first anniversary date of the Optionee's death (if
applicable) or (iii) the first anniversary date of the
termination of employment or directorship by reason of
Disability (if applicable). Any such Accrued Installments
of a deceased Optionee may be exercised prior to their
expiration by (and only by) the person or persons to whom
the Optionee's Option rights shall pass by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution. Any installments under a
deceased Optionee's Option that have not accrued as of the
date of his death shall expire and become unexercisable as
of said date of death. For purposes of this Agreement, the
Optionee shall be deemed employed by the Company (or a
subsidiary thereof, as the case may be) during any period of
leave of absence from active employment as authorized by the
Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be).
5. PARTIAL EXERCISE. Exercise of this Option up to
the extent above stated may be in part at any time and from
time to time with the above limits, except that this Option
may not be exercised for a fraction of a share. Upon the
exercise of the final installment of this Option, the
Optionee shall be entitled to receive cash with respect to
the value of any fraction of a share (in lieu of any said
fractional share).
6. PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. The Exercise Price
is payable in United States dollars and may be paid in cash
or by certified or cashier's check, or any combination of
the foregoing, equal in amount to the Exercise Price.
7. INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS; RESTRICTIONS ON
TRANSFER.
(a) The Optionee represents, warrants and covenants
to the Company that:
(i) Any Common Stock acquired by the Optionee upon
exercise of the Option will be acquired for the Optionee's
own account and not with a view to resale on distribution in
violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"1933 Act").
(ii) The Optionee has such knowledge and experience
in business and financial matters as to be capable of
utilizing the information which is available to the Optionee
to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the
Common Stock, and is able to bear the economic risks of any
Common Stock or other securities which the Optionee may
acquire upon exercise of the Option.
(iii) The Optionee understands that the Option has not
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "1933 Act"), that the Option has been issued in
reliance upon certain exemptions contained therein. The
Optionee further understands that because the Option has not
been registered under the 1933 Act or registered or
qualified pursuant to applicable "blue sky" statutes, the
Optionee may not, and Optionee covenants and agrees that
Optionee will not, sell, offer to sell or otherwise dispose
of any such Option in violation of the 1933 Act or any
applicable "blue sky" or securities law of any state. The
Optionee acknowledges and understands that Optionee has no
independent right to require the Company to register the
Option.
8. METHOD OF EXERCISING OPTION. Subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, this Option may be
exercised by written notice to the Company, at the principal
executive office of the Company, or to such transfer agent
as the Company shall designate. Such notice shall state the
election to exercise this Option and the number of shares in
respect of which it is being exercised and shall be signed
by the Optionee or person or persons entitled to so exercise
this Option. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment of
the full Exercise Price of such shares, and the Company
shall deliver a certificate or certificates representing
such shares as soon as practicable after the notice is
received. The certificate or certificates for the shares as
to which this Option shall have been so exercised shall be
registered in the name of the person or persons so
exercising this Option (or, if this Option shall be
exercised by the Optionee and if the Optionee shall so
request in the notice exercising this Option, shall be
registered in the name of the Optionee and another person
jointly, with right of survivorship) and shall be delivered
to or upon the written order of the person or persons
exercising this Option. In the event this Option shall be
exercised, pursuant to Section 4 hereof, by any person or
persons other than the Optionee, such notice shall be
accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such person
or persons to exercise this Option. All shares that shall
be purchased upon the exercise of this Option as provided
herein shall be fully paid and non-assessable.
9. OPTION NOT TRANSFERABLE; TRANSFER OF STOCK.
This Option is not transferable or assignable except by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the
Optionee's lifetime, only the Optionee may exercise this
Option.
10. NO OBLIGATION TO EXERCISE OPTION. The grant and
acceptance of this Option imposes no obligation on the
Optionee to exercise it.
11. NO OBLIGATION TO CONTINUE EMPLOYMENT. Neither
the Company nor any subsidiary thereof is by the Plan or
this Option obligated to continue to employ Optionee and
neither the Plan nor this Option shall otherwise interfere
with the Company's or any of the Company's subsidiary's
right to discharge or retire any employee, including
Optionee, at any time.
12. NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER UNTIL EXERCISE. The
Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect
to shares subject to this Agreement until a stock
certificate therefore has been issued to the Optionee and is
fully paid for. Except as is expressly provided in the Plan
with respect to certain changes in the capitalization of the
Company, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or
similar rights for which the record date is prior to the
date such stock certificate is issued.
13. REORGANIZATION OF COMPANY.
(a) Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, or upon a reorganization, merger or consolidation
of the Company as a result of which the Company's
outstanding Common Stock is changed into or exchanged for
cash or property or securities not of the Company's issue,
or upon a sale of all or substantially all property of the
Company to, or the acquisition of all or substantially all
of the stock of the Company then outstanding by, another
corporation or person, the Plan shall terminate, and the
Option granted hereunder shall terminate; provided, however,
Optionee shall be entitled, at such time prior to the
consummation of the transaction causing such termination as
the Company shall designate, to exercise the unexercised
installments of the Option including all unaccrued
installments thereof which would, but for this subsection
13(a), not yet be exercisable. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that any transaction causing such
termination is not consummated, any unexercised unaccrued
installments that had become exercisable solely by reason of
the provisions of this subsection 13(a) shall again become
unaccrued and unexercisable as of said termination of such
transaction, subject, however, to such installments accruing
pursuant to the normal accrual schedule provided in the
terms under which the Option was granted.
(b) In addition to and not in lieu of those rights
granted pursuant to subsection 13(a) above, if provisions
shall be made in writing in connection with such transaction
for the continuance of the Plan and/or the assumption of
options theretofore granted, or the substitution for such
options of options covering the stock of the successor
corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof with
appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares
and prices, the unexercised Option shall continue in the
manner and under the terms so provided.
(c) The Company shall have no obligation to provide
for the continuance, assumption or substitution of the Plan
or the Option by any successor corporation or parent or
subsidiary thereof.
14. WITHHOLDING TAXES. The Optionee hereby agrees
that the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may
be) may withhold from the Optionee's wages or other
remuneration the appropriate amount of federal, state and
local taxes attributable to the Optionee's exercise of any
installment of this Option. The Optionee further agrees
that, if the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case
may be) does not withhold an amount from the Optionee's
wages or other remuneration sufficient to satisfy the
Company's (or any such subsidiary's) withholding obligation,
the Optionee will reimburse the Company (or any such
subsidiary) on demand, in cash, for the amount
underwithheld.
15. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed
by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State
of California applicable to agreements made and to be
performed entirely within such State and without regard to
the conflict of law principals thereof.
16. AMENDMENTS. No amendment, modification,
termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement
shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing
signed by all parties hereto.
17. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be signed in
one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to
be an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.
18. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS. All
representations, covenants and warranties of the parties
hereto shall survive the execution of this Agreement.

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
Maxicare Health Plans, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), hereby grants as of this 20th day of
December, 1993, to Robert Landis (the "Optionee"), an option
to purchase a maximum of 10,000 shares of its common stock
(the "Common Stock"), at a price per share (the "Exercise
Price") of $9.63 per share (the "Option"), on the following
terms and conditions:
1. GRANT UNDER 1990 STOCK PLAN. The Option is
granted pursuant to and is governed by the Company's 1990
Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") and, unless the context
otherwise requires, terms used and/or defined herein shall
have the same meaning as in the Plan. Determinations made
in connection with this Option pursuant to the Plan shall be
governed by the Plan as it exists on this date. This Option
is not intended to be and shall not be treated as an
incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code.
2. EXTENT OF OPTION. If the Optionee has continued
to serve in the capacity of an officer, employee, or
director with the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the
case may be) on the following dates, the Optionee may,
subject to Section 13 hereof, exercise this Option for the

set opposite the applicable date:
Less than one year from the - 0 shares

One year but less than two years - 3,333 shares
from the date hereof
Two years but less than three - 3,333 shares

Three years but less than four - 3,334 shares

The foregoing rights are cumulative and, while the Optionee
continues to serve as an officer, director or employee of
the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be),
may be exercised up to and including the earlier of the date
which is five years from the date this Option is granted
(the "Fifth Anniversary Date"). For purposes of this
Agreement, any accrued installment shall be referred to as
an "Accrued Installment". All of the foregoing rights are
subject to Sections 3 and 4 hereof, as appropriate, if the
Optionee ceases to serve as an officer, director or employee
of the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be)
or becomes disabled or dies while serving as an officer,
director or employee of the Company (or a subsidiary
thereof, as the case may be).
3. TERMINATION OF BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP. If the
Optionee ceases to remain an officer, director or employee

other than by reason of death or disability as defined in
Section 4, any unexercised Accrued Installments of the
Option shall expire and become unexercisable as of the
earlier of (i) the Fifth Anniversary Date, or (ii) thirty
(30) days following the termination of Optionee's employment
or termination of Optionee's directorship. No further
installments of this Option shall become exercisable. The
Board of Directors of the Company may extend such thirty
(30) day period for a period not to exceed one (1) year
following the Termination Date (as defined in the Plan), but
in no event beyond the applicable Fifth Anniversary Date.
In such a case, the Optionee's only rights hereunder shall
be those which are properly exercised before the termination
of this Option. Any portion of an Option that expires
hereunder shall remain unexercisable and be of no effect
whatsoever after such expiration notwithstanding that such
Optionee may be reemployed by, or again become a director
of, the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may
be).
4. DEATH OR DISABILITY. In the event of the death
of the Optionee while an officer, employee or director of
the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be),

Plan), any unexercised Accrued Installments of the Option
granted to Optionee shall expire and become unexercisable as
of the earlier of (i) the Fifth Anniversary Date, or (ii)
the first anniversary date of the Optionee's death (if
applicable) or (iii) the first anniversary date of the
termination of employment or directorship by reason of
Disability (if applicable). Any such Accrued Installments
of a deceased Optionee may be exercised prior to their
expiration by (and only by) the person or persons to whom
the Optionee's Option rights shall pass by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution. Any installments under a
deceased Optionee's Option that have not accrued as of the
date of his death shall expire and become unexercisable as
of said date of death. For purposes of this Agreement, the
Optionee shall be deemed employed by the Company (or a
subsidiary thereof, as the case may be) during any period of
leave of absence from active employment as authorized by the
Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be).
5. PARTIAL EXERCISE. Exercise of this Option up to
the extent above stated may be in part at any time and from
time to time with the above limits, except that this Option
may not be exercised for a fraction of a share. Upon the
exercise of the final installment of this Option, the
Optionee shall be entitled to receive cash with respect to
the value of any fraction of a share (in lieu of any said
fractional share).
6. PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. The Exercise Price
is payable in United States dollars and may be paid in cash
or by certified or cashier's check, or any combination of
the foregoing, equal in amount to the Exercise Price.
7. INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS; RESTRICTIONS ON
TRANSFER.
(a) The Optionee represents, warrants and covenants
to the Company that:
(i) Any Common Stock acquired by the Optionee upon
exercise of the Option will be acquired for the Optionee's
own account and not with a view to resale on distribution in
violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"1933 Act").
(ii) The Optionee has such knowledge and experience
in business and financial matters as to be capable of
utilizing the information which is available to the Optionee
to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the
Common Stock, and is able to bear the economic risks of any
Common Stock or other securities which the Optionee may
acquire upon exercise of the Option.
(iii) The Optionee understands that the Option has not
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "1933 Act"), that the Option has been issued in
reliance upon certain exemptions contained therein. The
Optionee further understands that because the Option has not
been registered under the 1933 Act or registered or
qualified pursuant to applicable "blue sky" statutes, the
Optionee may not, and Optionee covenants and agrees that
Optionee will not, sell, offer to sell or otherwise dispose
of any such Option in violation of the 1933 Act or any
applicable "blue sky" or securities law of any state. The
Optionee acknowledges and understands that Optionee has no
independent right to require the Company to register the
Option.
8. METHOD OF EXERCISING OPTION. Subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, this Option may be
exercised by written notice to the Company, at the principal
executive office of the Company, or to such transfer agent
as the Company shall designate. Such notice shall state the
election to exercise this Option and the number of shares in
respect of which it is being exercised and shall be signed
by the Optionee or person or persons entitled to so exercise
this Option. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment of
the full Exercise Price of such shares, and the Company
shall deliver a certificate or certificates representing
such shares as soon as practicable after the notice is
received. The certificate or certificates for the shares as
to which this Option shall have been so exercised shall be
registered in the name of the person or persons so
exercising this Option (or, if this Option shall be
exercised by the Optionee and if the Optionee shall so
request in the notice exercising this Option, shall be
registered in the name of the Optionee and another person
jointly, with right of survivorship) and shall be delivered
to or upon the written order of the person or persons
exercising this Option. In the event this Option shall be
exercised, pursuant to Section 4 hereof, by any person or
persons other than the Optionee, such notice shall be
accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such person
or persons to exercise this Option. All shares that shall
be purchased upon the exercise of this Option as provided
herein shall be fully paid and non-assessable.
9. OPTION NOT TRANSFERABLE; TRANSFER OF STOCK.
This Option is not transferable or assignable except by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the
Optionee's lifetime, only the Optionee may exercise this
Option.
10. NO OBLIGATION TO EXERCISE OPTION. The grant and
acceptance of this Option imposes no obligation on the
Optionee to exercise it.
11. NO OBLIGATION TO CONTINUE EMPLOYMENT. Neither
the Company nor any subsidiary thereof is by the Plan or
this Option obligated to continue to employ Optionee and
neither the Plan nor this Option shall otherwise interfere
with the Company's or any of the Company's subsidiary's
right to discharge or retire any employee, including
Optionee, at any time.
12. NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER UNTIL EXERCISE. The
Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect
to shares subject to this Agreement until a stock
certificate therefore has been issued to the Optionee and is
fully paid for. Except as is expressly provided in the Plan
with respect to certain changes in the capitalization of the
Company, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or
similar rights for which the record date is prior to the
date such stock certificate is issued.
13. REORGANIZATION OF COMPANY.
(a) Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, or upon a reorganization, merger or consolidation
of the Company as a result of which the Company's
outstanding Common Stock is changed into or exchanged for
cash or property or securities not of the Company's issue,
or upon a sale of all or substantially all property of the
Company to, or the acquisition of all or substantially all
of the stock of the Company then outstanding by, another
corporation or person, the Plan shall terminate, and the
Option granted hereunder shall terminate; provided, however,
Optionee shall be entitled, at such time prior to the
consummation of the transaction causing such termination as
the Company shall designate, to exercise the unexercised
installments of the Option including all unaccrued
installments thereof which would, but for this subsection
13(a), not yet be exercisable. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that any transaction causing such
termination is not consummated, any unexercised unaccrued
installments that had become exercisable solely by reason of
the provisions of this subsection 13(a) shall again become
unaccrued and unexercisable as of said termination of such
transaction, subject, however, to such installments accruing
pursuant to the normal accrual schedule provided in the
terms under which the Option was granted.
(b) In addition to and not in lieu of those rights
granted pursuant to subsection 13(a) above, if provisions
shall be made in writing in connection with such transaction
for the continuance of the Plan and/or the assumption of
options theretofore granted, or the substitution for such
options of options covering the stock of the successor
corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof with
appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares
and prices, the unexercised Option shall continue in the
manner and under the terms so provided.
(c) The Company shall have no obligation to provide
for the continuance, assumption or substitution of the Plan
or the Option by any successor corporation or parent or
subsidiary thereof.
14. WITHHOLDING TAXES. The Optionee hereby agrees
that the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may
be) may withhold from the Optionee's wages or other
remuneration the appropriate amount of federal, state and
local taxes attributable to the Optionee's exercise of any
installment of this Option. The Optionee further agrees
that, if the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case
may be) does not withhold an amount from the Optionee's
wages or other remuneration sufficient to satisfy the
Company's (or any such subsidiary's) withholding obligation,
the Optionee will reimburse the Company (or any such
subsidiary) on demand, in cash, for the amount
underwithheld.
15. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed
by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State
of California applicable to agreements made and to be
performed entirely within such State and without regard to
the conflict of law principals thereof.

termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement
shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing
signed by all parties hereto.
17. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be signed in
one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to
be an original, but all of which together shall constitute

subject to Sections 3 and 4 hereof, as appropriate, if the
Optionee ceases to serve as an officer, director or employee
of the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be)
or becomes disabled or dies while serving as an officer,
director or employee of the Company (or a subsidiary
thereof, as the case may be).
3. TERMINATION OF BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP. If the
Optionee ceases to remain an officer, director or employee
of the Company (or subsidiary thereof, as the case may be),
other than by reason of death or disability as defined in
Section 4, any unexercised Accrued Installments of the
Option shall expire and become unexercisable as of the
earlier of (i) the Fifth Anniversary Date, or (ii) thirty
(30) days following the termination of Optionee's employment
or termination of Optionee's directorship. No further
installments of this Option shall become exercisable. The
Board of Directors of the Company may extend such thirty
(30) day period for a period not to exceed one (1) year
following the Termination Date (as defined in the Plan), but
in no event beyond the applicable Fifth Anniversary Date.
In such a case, the Optionee's only rights hereunder shall
be those which are properly exercised before the termination
of this Option. Any portion of an Option that expires
hereunder shall remain unexercisable and be of no effect
whatsoever after such expiration notwithstanding that such
Optionee may be reemployed by, or again become a director
of, the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may
be).
4. DEATH OR DISABILITY. In the event of the death
of the Optionee while an officer, employee or director of
the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be),
or in the event of termination of employment or directorship
by reason of the Optionee's Disability (as defined in the
Plan), any unexercised Accrued Installments of the Option
granted to Optionee shall expire and become unexercisable as
of the earlier of (i) the Fifth Anniversary Date, or (ii)
the first anniversary date of the Optionee's death (if
applicable) or (iii) the first anniversary date of the
termination of employment or directorship by reason of
Disability (if applicable). Any such Accrued Installments
of a deceased Optionee may be exercised prior to their
expiration by (and only by) the person or persons to whom
the Optionee's Option rights shall pass by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution. Any installments under a
deceased Optionee's Option that have not accrued as of the
date of his death shall expire and become unexercisable as
of said date of death. For purposes of this Agreement, the
Optionee shall be deemed employed by the Company (or a
subsidiary thereof, as the case may be) during any period of
leave of absence from active employment as authorized by the
Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be).
5. PARTIAL EXERCISE. Exercise of this Option up to
the extent above stated may be in part at any time and from
time to time with the above limits, except that this Option
may not be exercised for a fraction of a share. Upon the
exercise of the final installment of this Option, the
Optionee shall be entitled to receive cash with respect to
the value of any fraction of a share (in lieu of any said
fractional share).
6. PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. The Exercise Price
is payable in United States dollars and may be paid in cash
or by certified or cashier's check, or any combination of
the foregoing, equal in amount to the Exercise Price.
7. INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS; RESTRICTIONS ON
TRANSFER.
(a) The Optionee represents, warrants and covenants
to the Company that:
(i) Any Common Stock acquired by the Optionee upon
exercise of the Option will be acquired for the Optionee's
own account and not with a view to resale on distribution in
violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"1933 Act").
(ii) The Optionee has such knowledge and experience
in business and financial matters as to be capable of
utilizing the information which is available to the Optionee
to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the
Common Stock, and is able to bear the economic risks of any
Common Stock or other securities which the Optionee may
acquire upon exercise of the Option.
(iii) The Optionee understands that the Option has not
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "1933 Act"), that the Option has been issued in
reliance upon certain exemptions contained therein. The
Optionee further understands that because the Option has not
been registered under the 1933 Act or registered or
qualified pursuant to applicable "blue sky" statutes, the
Optionee may not, and Optionee covenants and agrees that
Optionee will not, sell, offer to sell or otherwise dispose
of any such Option in violation of the 1933 Act or any
applicable "blue sky" or securities law of any state. The
Optionee acknowledges and understands that Optionee has no
independent right to require the Company to register the
Option.
8. METHOD OF EXERCISING OPTION. Subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, this Option may be
exercised by written notice to the Company, at the principal
executive office of the Company, or to such transfer agent
as the Company shall designate. Such notice shall state the
election to exercise this Option and the number of shares in
respect of which it is being exercised and shall be signed
by the Optionee or person or persons entitled to so exercise
this Option. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment of
the full Exercise Price of such shares, and the Company
shall deliver a certificate or certificates representing
such shares as soon as practicable after the notice is
received. The certificate or certificates for the shares as
to which this Option shall have been so exercised shall be
registered in the name of the person or persons so
exercising this Option (or, if this Option shall be
exercised by the Optionee and if the Optionee shall so
request in the notice exercising this Option, shall be
registered in the name of the Optionee and another person
jointly, with right of survivorship) and shall be delivered
to or upon the written order of the person or persons
exercising this Option. In the event this Option shall be
exercised, pursuant to Section 4 hereof, by any person or
persons other than the Optionee, such notice shall be
accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such person
or persons to exercise this Option. All shares that shall
be purchased upon the exercise of this Option as provided
herein shall be fully paid and non-assessable.
9. OPTION NOT TRANSFERABLE; TRANSFER OF STOCK.
This Option is not transferable or assignable except by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the
Optionee's lifetime, only the Optionee may exercise this
Option.
10. NO OBLIGATION TO EXERCISE OPTION. The grant and
acceptance of this Option imposes no obligation on the
Optionee to exercise it.
11. NO OBLIGATION TO CONTINUE EMPLOYMENT. Neither
the Company nor any subsidiary thereof is by the Plan or
this Option obligated to continue to employ Optionee and
neither the Plan nor this Option shall otherwise interfere
with the Company's or any of the Company's subsidiary's
right to discharge or retire any employee, including
Optionee, at any time.
12. NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER UNTIL EXERCISE. The
Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect

Company, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or
similar rights for which the record date is prior to the
date such stock certificate is issued.
13. REORGANIZATION OF COMPANY.
(a) Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, or upon a reorganization, merger or consolidation
of the Company as a result of which the Company's
outstanding Common Stock is changed into or exchanged for
cash or property or securities not of the Company's issue,
or upon a sale of all or substantially all property of the
Company to, or the acquisition of all or substantially all
of the stock of the Company then outstanding by, another
corporation or person, the Plan shall terminate, and the
Option granted hereunder shall terminate; provided, however,
Optionee shall be entitled, at such time prior to the
consummation of the transaction causing such termination as
the Company shall designate, to exercise the unexercised
installments of the Option including all unaccrued
installments thereof which would, but for this subsection
13(a), not yet be exercisable. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that any transaction causing such
termination is not consummated, any unexercised unaccrued
installments that had become exercisable solely by reason of
the provisions of this subsection 13(a) shall again become
unaccrued and unexercisable as of said termination of such
transaction, subject, however, to such installments accruing
pursuant to the normal accrual schedule provided in the
terms under which the Option was granted.
(b) In addition to and not in lieu of those rights
granted pursuant to subsection 13(a) above, if provisions
shall be made in writing in connection with such transaction
for the continuance of the Plan and/or the assumption of
options theretofore granted, or the substitution for such
options of options covering the stock of the successor
corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof with
appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares
and prices, the unexercised Option shall continue in the
manner and under the terms so provided.
(c) The Company shall have no obligation to provide
for the continuance, assumption or substitution of the Plan
or the Option by any successor corporation or parent or
subsidiary thereof.
14. WITHHOLDING TAXES. The Optionee hereby agrees
that the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may
be) may withhold from the Optionee's wages or other
remuneration the appropriate amount of federal, state and
local taxes attributable to the Optionee's exercise of any
installment of this Option. The Optionee further agrees
that, if the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case
may be) does not withhold an amount from the Optionee's
wages or other remuneration sufficient to satisfy the
Company's (or any such subsidiary's) withholding obligation,
the Optionee will reimburse the Company (or any such
subsidiary) on demand, in cash, for the amount
underwithheld.
15. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed
by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State
of California applicable to agreements made and to be
performed entirely within such State and without regard to
the conflict of law principals thereof.
16. AMENDMENTS. No amendment, modification,
termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement
shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing
signed by all parties hereto.
17. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be signed in
one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to

have the same meaning as in the Plan. Determinations made
in connection with this Option pursuant to the Plan shall be

thereof, as the case may be), the Option may be exercised up
to and including the earlier of the date which is five years
from the date this Option is granted (the "Fifth Anniversary

or termination of Optionee's directorship. No further
installments of this Option shall become exercisable. The
Board of Directors of the Company may extend such thirty

following the Termination Date (as defined in the Plan), but
in no event beyond the applicable Fifth Anniversary Date.
In such a case, the Optionee's only rights hereunder shall
be those which are properly exercised before the termination
of this Option. Any portion of an Option that expires
hereunder shall remain unexercisable and be of no effect
whatsoever after such expiration notwithstanding that such
Optionee may be reemployed by, or again become a director
of, the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may
be).
4. DEATH OR DISABILITY. In the event of the death
of the Optionee while an officer, employee or director of

the first anniversary date of the Optionee's death (if
applicable) or (iii) the first anniversary date of the
termination of employment or directorship by reason of
Disability (if applicable). Any such Accrued Installments
of a deceased Optionee may be exercised prior to their

laws of descent and distribution. Any installments under a
deceased Optionee's Option that have not accrued as of the
date of his death shall expire and become unexercisable as
of said date of death. For purposes of this Agreement, the
Optionee shall be deemed employed by the Company (or a
subsidiary thereof, as the case may be) during any period of
leave of absence from active employment as authorized by the
Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be).
5. PARTIAL EXERCISE. Exercise of this Option up to
the extent above stated may be in part at any time and from
time to time with the above limits, except that this Option
may not be exercised for a fraction of a share. Upon the
exercise of the final installment of this Option, the
Optionee shall be entitled to receive cash with respect to
the value of any fraction of a share (in lieu of any said
fractional share).
6. PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. The Exercise Price
is payable in United States dollars and may be paid in cash
or by certified or cashier's check, or any combination of
the foregoing, equal in amount to the Exercise Price.

THE COMPANY:
MAXICARE HEALTH PLANS, INC.
By: /s/ Peter J. Ratican
Chairman, President and
Chief Executive Officer
OPTIONEE:
/s/ Dr. Charles E. Lewis
Exhibit 10.63
MAXICARE HEALTH PLANS, INC.
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
Maxicare Health Plans, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), hereby grants as of this 20th day of
December, 1993, to Claude S. Brinegar (the "Optionee"), an
option to purchase a maximum of 10,000 shares of its common
stock (the "Common Stock"), at a price per share (the
"Exercise Price") of $9.63 per share (the "Option"), on the
following terms and conditions:
1. GRANT UNDER 1990 STOCK PLAN. The Option is
granted pursuant to and is governed by the Company's 1990
Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") and, unless the context
otherwise requires, terms used and/or defined herein shall
have the same meaning as in the Plan. Determinations made
in connection with this Option pursuant to the Plan shall be
governed by the Plan as it exists on this date. This Option
is not intended to be and shall not be treated as an
incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code.
2. EXTENT OF OPTION. As an officer, employee, or
director with the Company, the Optionee's rights in and to
the Option shall vest as of the date hereof, and the
Optionee may, subject to Section 13 hereof, exercise this
Option immediately for up to the total number of shares set
forth in the first sentence of this Agreement.
While the Optionee continues to serve as an officer,
director or employee of the Company (or a subsidiary
thereof, as the case may be), the Option may be exercised up
to and including the earlier of the date which is five years
from the date this Option is granted (the "Fifth Anniversary
Date"). For purposes of this Agreement, any accrued
installment shall be referred to as an "Accrued
Installment". All of the foregoing rights are subject to
Sections 3 and 4 hereof, as appropriate, if the Optionee
ceases to serve as an officer, director or employee of the
Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be) or
becomes disabled or dies while serving as an officer,
director or employee of the Company (or a subsidiary
thereof, as the case may be).
3. TERMINATION OF BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP. If the
Optionee ceases to remain an officer, director or employee
of the Company (or subsidiary thereof, as the case may be),
other than by reason of death or disability as defined in
Section 4, any unexercised Accrued Installments of the
Option shall expire and become unexercisable as of the
earlier of (i) the Fifth Anniversary Date, or (ii) thirty
(30) days following the termination of Optionee's employment
or termination of Optionee's directorship. No further
installments of this Option shall become exercisable. The
Board of Directors of the Company may extend such thirty
(30) day period for a period not to exceed one (1) year
following the Termination Date (as defined in the Plan), but
in no event beyond the applicable Fifth Anniversary Date.
In such a case, the Optionee's only rights hereunder shall
be those which are properly exercised before the termination
of this Option. Any portion of an Option that expires
hereunder shall remain unexercisable and be of no effect
whatsoever after such expiration notwithstanding that such
Optionee may be reemployed by, or again become a director
of, the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may
be).
4. DEATH OR DISABILITY. In the event of the death
of the Optionee while an officer, employee or director of
the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be),
or in the event of termination of employment or directorship
by reason of the Optionee's Disability (as defined in the
Plan), any unexercised Accrued Installments of the Option
granted to Optionee shall expire and become unexercisable as
of the earlier of (i) the Fifth Anniversary Date, or (ii)
the first anniversary date of the Optionee's death (if
applicable) or (iii) the first anniversary date of the
termination of employment or directorship by reason of
Disability (if applicable). Any such Accrued Installments
of a deceased Optionee may be exercised prior to their
expiration by (and only by) the person or persons to whom
the Optionee's Option rights shall pass by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution. Any installments under a
deceased Optionee's Option that have not accrued as of the
date of his death shall expire and become unexercisable as
of said date of death. For purposes of this Agreement, the
Optionee shall be deemed employed by the Company (or a
subsidiary thereof, as the case may be) during any period of
leave of absence from active employment as authorized by the
Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be).
5. PARTIAL EXERCISE. Exercise of this Option up to
the extent above stated may be in part at any time and from
time to time with the above limits, except that this Option
may not be exercised for a fraction of a share. Upon the
exercise of the final installment of this Option, the
Optionee shall be entitled to receive cash with respect to
the value of any fraction of a share (in lieu of any said
fractional share).
6. PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. The Exercise Price
is payable in United States dollars and may be paid in cash
or by certified or cashier's check, or any combination of
the foregoing, equal in amount to the Exercise Price.
7. INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS; RESTRICTIONS ON
TRANSFER.
(a) The Optionee represents, warrants and covenants
to the Company that:
(i) Any Common Stock acquired by the Optionee upon
exercise of the Option will be acquired for the Optionee's
own account and not with a view to resale on distribution in
violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"1933 Act").
(ii) The Optionee has such knowledge and experience
in business and financial matters as to be capable of
utilizing the information which is available to the Optionee
to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the
Common Stock, and is able to bear the economic risks of any
Common Stock or other securities which the Optionee may
acquire upon exercise of the Option.
(iii) The Optionee understands that the Option has not
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "1933 Act"), that the Option has been issued in
reliance upon certain exemptions contained therein. The
Optionee further understands that because the Option has not
been registered under the 1933 Act or registered or
qualified pursuant to applicable "blue sky" statutes, the
Optionee may not, and Optionee covenants and agrees that
Optionee will not, sell, offer to sell or otherwise dispose
of any such Option in violation of the 1933 Act or any
applicable "blue sky" or securities law of any state. The
Optionee acknowledges and understands that Optionee has no
independent right to require the Company to register the
Option.
8. METHOD OF EXERCISING OPTION. Subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, this Option may be
exercised by written notice to the Company, at the principal
executive office of the Company, or to such transfer agent
as the Company shall designate. Such notice shall state the
election to exercise this Option and the number of shares in
respect of which it is being exercised and shall be signed
by the Optionee or person or persons entitled to so exercise
this Option. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment of
the full Exercise Price of such shares, and the Company
shall deliver a certificate or certificates representing
such shares as soon as practicable after the notice is
received. The certificate or certificates for the shares as
to which this Option shall have been so exercised shall be
registered in the name of the person or persons so
exercising this Option (or, if this Option shall be
exercised by the Optionee and if the Optionee shall so
request in the notice exercising this Option, shall be
registered in the name of the Optionee and another person
jointly, with right of if Optionee is entitled to exercise
any unexercised if Optionee is entitled to exercise any
unexercised survivorship) and shall be delivered to or upon
the written order of the person or persons exercising this
Option. In the event this Option shall be exercised,

than the Optionee, such notice shall be accompanied by
appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to
exercise this Option. All shares that shall be purchased
upon the exercise of this Option as provided herein shall be
fully paid and non-assessable.
9. OPTION NOT TRANSFERABLE; TRANSFER OF STOCK.
This Option is not transferable or assignable except by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the
Optionee's lifetime, only the Optionee may exercise this
Option.
10. NO OBLIGATION TO EXERCISE OPTION. The grant and
acceptance of this Option imposes no obligation on the
Optionee to exercise it.
11. NO OBLIGATION TO CONTINUE EMPLOYMENT. Neither
the Company nor any subsidiary thereof is by the Plan or
this Option obligated to continue to employ Optionee and
neither the Plan nor this Option shall otherwise interfere
with the Company's or any of the Company's subsidiary's
right to discharge or retire any employee, including
Optionee, at any time.
12. NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER UNTIL EXERCISE. The
Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect
to shares subject to this Agreement until a stock
certificate therefore has been issued to the Optionee and is

Company, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or
similar rights for which the record date is prior to the
date such stock certificate is issued.

Company, or upon a reorganization, merger or consolidation
of the Company as a result of which the Company's
outstanding Common Stock is changed into or exchanged for

treatment of Employee's Stock Options shall be governed by the
terms of the Company's 1990 Stock Option Plan and the Stock

9. COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE. Employee covenants and
agrees that during the term of his employment by the Company
pursuant to this Agreement he will not, directly or indirectly,
own, manage, operate, join, control or become employed by, or
render any services of any advisory nature or otherwise, or
participate in the ownership, management, operation or control
of, any business which competes with the business of the Company
or any of its affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Employee shall not be prevented from investing his assets in
such form or manner as will not require any services on the part
of Employee in the operation of the affairs of a company in
which investments are made, provided such company is not engaged
in a business competitive to the Company, or if it is in
competition with the Company, provided its stock is publicly
traded and Employee owns less than one percent (1%) of the
outstanding stock of that company.
10. CONFIDENTIALITY. Employee covenants and agrees that
he will not at any time during or after the termination of his
employment by the Company reveal, divulge or make known to any
person, firm or corporation any information, knowledge or data
of a proprietary nature relating to the business of the Company
or any of its affiliates which is not or has not become
generally known or public. Employee shall hold, in a fiduciary
capacity, for the benefit of the Company, all information,
knowledge or data of a proprietary nature, relating to or
concerned with, the operations, customers, developments, sales,
business and affairs of the Company and its affiliates which is
not generally known to the public and which is or was obtained
by the Employee during his employment by the Company. Employee
recognizes and acknowledges that all such information, knowledge
or data is a valuable and unique asset of the Company and
accordingly he will not discuss or divulge any such information,
knowledge or data to any person, firm, partnership, corporation
or organization other than to the Company, its affiliates,
designees, assignees or successors or except as may otherwise be
required by the law, as ordered by a court or other governmental
body of competent jurisdiction, or in connection with the
business and affairs of the Company.
11. EQUITABLE REMEDIES. In the event of a breach or
threatened breach by Employee of any of his obligations under
Sections 9 and 10 hereof, Employee acknowledges that the Company
may not have an adequate remedy at law and therefore it is
mutually agreed between Employee and the Company that in
addition to any other remedies at law or in equity which the
Company may have, the Company shall be entitled to seek in a
court of law and/or equity a temporary and/or permanent
injunction restraining Employee from any continuing violation or
breach of this Agreement.
12. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the Company and any successor of the Company. This
Agreement shall not be terminated by the voluntary or
involuntary dissolution of the Company or by any merger,
reorganization or other transaction in which the Company is not
the surviving or resulting corporation or upon any transfer of
all or substantially all of the assets of Company in the event
of any such merger, or transfer of assets. The provisions of
this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the
benefit of the surviving business entity or the business entity
to which such assets shall be transferred in the same manner and
to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform
as if no such transaction had taken place.
Neither this Agreement nor any rights arising hereunder may
be assigned or pledged by Employee. Employee's rights to the
compensation provided for under Section 4 of this Agreement (as
may be limited by Section 8 of the Agreement) and to the
reimbursement for expenses under Section 6 hereof, shall
continue, despite the fact that Employee may cease to be
employed by the Company, and shall survive the termination of
this Agreement regardless of cause. This Agreement shall inure
to the benefit of and be enforceable by Employee's personal or
legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors,
heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.
(b) Except as otherwise provided by law or elsewhere
herein, Employee shall be entitled to all benefits as set forth
herein notwithstanding the occurrence of the following events:
(i) any act of force majeure which materially and
adversely affect the Company's business and operations,
including but not limited to, the Company having sustained a
material loss, whether or not insured, by reason of fire,
earthquake, flood, epidemic, explosion, accident, calamity or
other act of God;
(ii) any strike or labor dispute or court or
government action, order or decree;
(iii) a banking moratorium having been declared by
federal or state authorities;
(iv) an outbreak of major armed conflict, blockade,
embargo, or other international hostilities or restraints or
orders of civic, civil defense, or military authorities, or
other national or international calamity having occurred;
(v) any act of public enemy, riot or civil
disturbance or threat thereof; or
(vi) a pending or threatened legal or governmental
proceeding or action relating generally to the Company's
business, or a notification having been received by the Company
of the threat of any such proceeding or action, which could
materially adversely affect the Company.
(c) Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement
contains the entire understanding between the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified,
altered or amended except by an instrument in writing signed by
the parties hereto. This Agreement supersedes all prior
agreements of the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof. In the event of termination of employment of Employee
pursuant to this Agreement, the arrangements provided for by
this Agreement, by any Stock Option Agreement or other written
agreement between the Company or any of its affiliates and
Employee in effect at the time, and by any other applicable
benefit plan of the Company or any of its affiliates, will
constitute the entire obligation of the Company to the Employee
and performance thereof by the Company will constitute full
settlement of any and all claims, whether in contract or tort,
that Employee might otherwise assert against the Company or any
of its affiliates on account of such termination.
(d) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of California applicable to agreements
made and to be performed entirely within such state and without
regard to the conflict of law principals thereof.
(e) Nothing in the Agreement is intended to require or
shall be construed as requiring the Company to do or fail to do
any act in violation of applicable law. The Company's inability
pursuant to court order to perform its obligations under this
Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. If
any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the
remainder of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full
force and effect. If any provision is held invalid or
unenforceable with respect to particular circumstances, it
shall, nevertheless, remain in full force and effect in all
other circumstances.
(f) With the exception of disputes arising under or with
respect to Sections 9 or 10 hereof, any and all disputes
hereunder shall be resolved by arbitration. Any party hereto
electing to commence an action shall give written notice to the
other parties hereto of such election. The dispute shall be
settled by arbitration in accordance with the then rules of the
American Arbitration Association; provided, however, in the
event the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator within

Maxicare Health Plans, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), hereby grants as of this 20th day of May, 1991, to
Dave Hammons (the "Optionee"), an option to purchase a maximum of
10,000 shares of its common stock (the "Common Stock"), at a
price per share (the "Exercise Price") equal to the weighted
average price per share for the first twenty trading days after
December 5, 1990, of (i) the closing bid price of the Company's
Common stock in the principal national securities exchange in
which the Common Stock is traded, or (ii) if the Company's Common
Stock is not traded on a national securities exchange, the last
reported sale price of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ National
Market List, or (iii) if the common stock is not reported on the
NASDAQ National Market List, the closing bid price (or average of
bid prices) last quoted by an established quotation service for
over-the-counter securities (the "Option"), on the following
terms and conditions:
1. GRANT UNDER 1990 STOCK PLAN. This Option is
granted pursuant to and is governed by the Company's 1990 Stock
Option Plan (the "Plan") and, unless the context otherwise
requires, terms used and/or defined herein shall have the same
meaning as in the Plan. Determinations made in connection with
this Option pursuant to the Plan shall be governed by the Plan as
it exists on this date.
2. EXTENT OF OPTION. If the Optionee has continued
to serve the Company in the capacity of an officer, employee, or
director with the Company on the following dates, the Optionee
may, subject to Section 13 hereof, exercise this Option for the
portion of the total number of shares set forth opposite the
applicable date:
December 5, 1992 One-third (1/3) of the total
number of shares subject to this
option
December 5, 1993 An additional one third (1/3) of
the total number of shares
subject to this option
December 5, 1994 An additional one-third (1/3) of
the total number of shares
subject to this option
The foregoing right are cumulative and, while the Optionee
continues to serve as an officer, director or employee of the
Company, may be exercised up to and including the earlier of the
date which is 5 years from December 5, 1990 or the expiration
date of the Plan (the earlier of such dates being hereinafter
referred to as the "Option Expiration Date"). For purposes of
this Agreement, any accrued installment shall be referred to as
"Accrued Installment". All of the foregoing rights are subject
to Sections 3 and 4 hereof, as appropriate, if the Optionee
ceases to serve as an officer, director or employee of the
Company or becomes disabled or dies while serving as an officer,
director or employee of the Company.
3. TERMINATION OF BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP. If the
Optionee ceases to remain an officer, director or employee of the
Company, other than by reason of death or disability as defined
in Section 4, any unexercised Accrued Installments of the Option
shall expire and become unexercisable as of the earlier of (i)
the Option Expiration Date, or (ii) thirty (30) days following
the termination of Optionee's employment or termination of
Optionee's directorship. No further installment of this Option
shall become exercisable. The Board of Directors of the Company
may extend such thirty (30) day period for a period not to exceed
one (1) year following the Termination Date, (as defined in the
Plan), but in no event beyond the applicable Option Expiration
Date. In such a case, the Optionee's only rights hereunder shall
be those which are properly exercised before the termination of
this Option. Any portion of an Option that expires hereunder
shall remain unexercisable and be of no effect whatsoever after
such expiration notwithstanding that such Optionee may be
reemployed by, or again become a director of, the Company.
4. DEATH OR DISABILITY. In the event of the death of
the Optionee while an officer, employee or director of the
Company, or in the event of termination of employment or
directorship by reason of the Optionee's Disability (as defined
in the Plan), any unexercised Accrued Installments of the Option
granted to the Optionee shall expire and become unexercisable as
of the earlier of (i) the Option Expiration Date, or (ii) the
first anniversary date of the Optionee's death (if applicable) or
(iii) the first anniversary date of the termination of employment
or directorship by reason of Disability (if applicable). Any
such Accrued Installments of a deceased Optionee may be exercised
prior to their expiration by (and only by) the person or persons
to whom the Optionee's Option rights shall pass by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution. Any installments under a
deceased Optionee's Option that have not accrued as of the date
of his/her death shall expire and become unexercisable as of said
date of death. For purposes of this Agreement, the Optionee
shall be deemed employed by the Company during any period of
leave of absence from active employment as authorized by the
Company.
5. PARTIAL EXERCISE. Exercise of this Option up to
the extent above stated may be made in part at any time and from
time to time with the above limits, except that this Option may
be exercised for a fraction of a share. Upon the exercise of the
final installment of this Option, the Optionee shall be entitled
to receive cash with respect to the value of any fraction of a
share (in lieu of any said fractional share).
6. PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. The Exercise Price is
payable in United States Dollars and may be paid in cash or by
certified or cashier's check, or any combination of the
foregoing, equal in the amount to the Exercise Price.
7. INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS; RESTRICTIONS ON
TRANSFER.
(a) The Optionee represents, warrants and covenants to
the Company that:
(i) Any Common Stock acquired by the Optionee upon
exercise of the Option will be acquired of the Optionee's own
account and not with a view of resale or distribution in
violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933
Act").
(ii) The Optionee has such knowledge and experience in
business and financial matters as to be capable of utilizing the
information which is available to the Optionee to evaluate the
merits and risks of an investment in the Common Stock, and is
able to tear the economic risks of any Common Stock or other
securities which the Optionee may acquire upon exercise of the
Option.
(iii) The Optionee understands that neither the Option
nor the Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the Option
have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "1933 Act"), that the Option has been, and the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Option will be, issued
in reliance upon certain exemptions contained therein, and that
the Company's reliance on such exemption is predicated on
Optionee's representations set forth herein. The Optionee
further understands that because neither the Option nor the
shares of Common Stock to be issued up on exercise of the Option
have been registered under the 1993 Act, the Optionee may not and
Optionee covenants and agrees that Optionee will not, sell, offer
to sell or otherwise dispose of any such securities in violation
of the 1933 Act or any applicable "blue sky" or securities law of
any state. The Optionee acknowledges and understands that
Optionee has no independent right to require the Company to
register the Option or the Common Stock to be issued upon
exercise of the Option.
(b) The Optionee consents to the placing of
restrictive legends in substantially the following form on any
stock certificate(s) representing Common Stock issued upon
exercise of the Option:
"The Shares represented by this
Certificate have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the
blue sky laws of any state. These shares have
been acquired for investment and not with a
view to distribution or resale, and may not be
sold, mortgaged, pledged, hypothecated or
otherwise transferred without an effective
registration statement for such shares under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
until the issuer has been furnished with an
opinion of counsel for the registered owner of
these shares, reasonably satisfactory to
counsel for the issurer, that such sale,
transfer or disposition is exempt from the
registration or qualification provisions of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the
blue sky laws of any state having
jurisdiction."
(c) The Optionee also hereby consents and agrees to
the placing of stop transfer instructions against any subsequent
transfer(s) of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the
Option. The Company hereby agrees to remove the legend and stop
transfer instructions upon receipt of an opinion of counsel from
the registered owner of the shares of Common Stock issued upon
exercises of the Option, in form and substance acceptable to
counsel for the Company, to the effect that such shares may be
transferred without violation of the 1933 Act or the blue sky
laws of any state having jurisdiction.
8. METHOD OF EXERCISING OPTION. No Option may be
exercised in whole or in part until two (2) years after December
5, 1990. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
this Option may be exercised by written notice to the Company, at
the principal executive office of the Company, or to such
transfer agent as the Company shall designate. Such notice shall
state the election to exercise this Option and the number of
shares in respect of which it is being exercised and shall be
signed by the Optionee or person or persons entitled to so
exercise this Option. Such notice shall be accompanied by
payment of the full Exercise Price of such shares, and the
Company shall deliver a certificate or certificates representing
such shares as soon as practicable after the notice is received.
The certificate or certificates for the shares as to which this
Option shall have been so exercised shall be registered in the
name of the person or persons so exercising this Option (or, if
this Option shall be exercised by the Optionee and if the
Optionee shall so request in the notice exercising this Option,
shall be registered in the name of the Optionee and another
person jointly, with right of survivorship) and shall be
delivered to or upon the written order of the person or persons
exercising this Option. In the event this Option shall be
exercised, pursuant to Section 4 hereof, by any person or persons
other than the Optionee, such notice shall be accompanied by
appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to
exercise this Option. All shares that shall be purchased upon
the exercise of this Option as provided herein shall be fully
paid and non-assessable.
9. OPTION NOT TRANSFERABLE; TRANSFER OF STOCK. This
Option is not transferable or assignable except by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution. During the Optionee's
lifetime, only the Optionee may exercise this Option. Common
Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of this Option or any
interest in such Common Stock, may be sold, assigned, gifted,
pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise transferred to
alienated in any manner by the holder(s) thereof, subject,
however, to the provisions of the Plan, including any
representations or warranties requested under Section 22 thereof,
and also subject to compliance with any applicable federal,
state, local or other law, regulations or rule governing the sale
or transfer of stock or securities, and provided, further than in
all cases, the Optionee may not sell or otherwise transfer shares
acquired upon the exercise of an Option for a period of six (6)
months following the date of acquisition (within the meaning of
Section 16-b (3) of the Security Exchange Act of 1934) of such
Option without the prior written consent of the Board.
10. NO OBLIGATION TO EXERCISE OPTION. The grant and
acceptance of this Option imposes no obligation on the Optionee
to exercise it.
11. NO OBLIGATION TO CONTINUE EMPLOYMENT. The Company
is not by the Plan or this Option obligated to continue to employ
Optionee and neither the Plan nor this Option shall otherwise
interfere with the Company's right to discharge or retire any
employee, including Optionee, at any time.
12. NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER UNTIL EXERCISE. The
Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to
shares subject to this Agreement until a stock certificate
therefore has been issued to the Optionee and is fully paid for.
Except as is expressly provided in the Plan with respect to
certain changes in the capitalization of the Company, no
adjustment shall be made for dividends or similar rights for
which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate
is issued.
13. REORGANIZATION OF COMPANY.
(a) Upon the dissolution or liquidation of Company, or
upon a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company as
a result of which the Company's outstanding Common Stock is
changed into or exchanged for cash or property or securities not
of the Company's issue, or upon a sale of all or substantially
all property of the Company to, or the acquisition of all or
substantially all of the stock of the Company then outstanding
by, another corporation or person, the Plan shall terminate, and
the Option granted hereunder shall terminate; provided, however,
if Optionee is entitled to exercise any unexercised installment
of the Option then outstanding, then Optionee may, at such time
prior to the consummation of the transaction causing such
termination as the Company shall designate, exercise the
unexercised installments of the Option including all unaccrued
installments thereof which would, but for this subsection 13(a),
not yet be exercisable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that any transaction causing such termination is not
consummated, any unexercised unaccrued installments that had
become exercisable solely by reason of the provisions of this
subsection 13(a) shall again become unaccrued and unexercisable
as of said termination of such transaction, subject, however, to
such installments accruing pursuant to the normal accrual
schedule provided in the terms under which the Option was
granted.
(b) In addition to and not in lieu of those rights
granted pursuant to subsection 13(a) above, if provisions shall
be made in writing in connection with such transaction for the
continuance of the Plan and/or the assumption of options
theretofore granted, or the substitution for such options of
options covering the stock of the successor corporation, or a
parent or subsidiary thereof with appropriate adjustments as to
the number and kind of shares and prices, the unexercised Option
shall continue in the manner and under the terms so provided.
(c) The Company shall have no obligation to provide
for the continuance, assumption or substitution of the Plan or
the Option by any successor corporation or parent or subsidiary
thereof.
14. WITHHOLDING TAXES. The Optionee hereby agrees
that the Company may withhold from the Optionee's wages or other
remuneration the appropriate amount of federal, state and local
taxes attributable to the Optionee's exercise of any installment
of this Option. The Optionee further agrees that, if the Company
does not withhold an amount from the Optionee's wages or other
remuneration sufficient to satisfy the Company's withholding
obligation, the Optionee will reimburse the Company on demand, in
cash, for the amount underwithheld.
15. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed
by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of
California applicable to agreements made and to be performed
entirely within such State and without regard to the conflict of
law principals thereof.
16. AMENDMENTS. No amendment, modification,
termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be
effective unless the same shall be in writing signed by all
parties hereto.
17. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be signed in one
or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an
original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the
same instrument.
18. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS. All representations,
covenants and warranties of the parties hereto shall survive the
execution of this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF the Company and the Optionee have
caused this instrument to be executed as of the date first
written above, and the Optionee whose signature appears below

exercised up to and including the earlier of the date which is
five years from the date this Option is granted (the "Fifth
Anniversary Date"). For purposes of this Agreement, any accrued

as appropriate, if the Optionee ceases to serve as an officer,
director or employee of the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as
the case may be) or becomes disabled or dies while serving as an
officer, director or employee of the Company (or a subsidiary
thereof, as the case may be).

which are properly exercised before the termination of this
Option. Any portion of an Option that expires hereunder shall
remain unexercisable and be of no effect whatsoever after such
expiration notwithstanding that such Optionee may be reemployed
by, or again become a director of, the Company (or a subsidiary
thereof, as the case may be).
4. DEATH OR DISABILITY. In the event of the death of
the Optionee while an officer, employee or director of the
Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be), or in the

Optionee shall expire and become unexercisable as of the earlier
of (i) the Fifth Anniversary Date, or (ii) the first anniversary
date of the Optionee's death (if applicable) or (iii) the first

descent and distribution. Any installments under a deceased
Optionee's Option that have not accrued as of the date of his/her
death shall expire and become unexercisable as of said date of
death. For purposes of this Agreement, the Optionee shall be
deemed employed by the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the
case may be) during any period of leave of absence from active
employment as authorized by the Company (or a subsidiary thereof,
as the case may be).
5. PARTIAL EXERCISE. Exercise of this Option up to
the extent above stated may be made in part at any time and from
time to time with the above limits, except that this Option may
be exercised for a fraction of a share. Upon the exercise of the
final installment of this Option, the Optionee shall be entitled
to receive cash with respect to the value of any fraction of a
share (in lieu of any said fractional share).
6. PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. The Exercise Price is

Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Option will be, issued
in reliance upon certain exemptions contained therein, and that
the Company's reliance on such exemption is predicated on
Optionee's representations set forth herein. The Optionee
further understands that because neither the Option nor the
shares of Common Stock to be issued up on exercise of the Option
have been registered under the 1993 Act, the Optionee may not and

provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended."

transfer(s) of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the
Option. The Company hereby agrees to remove the legend and stop
transfer instructions upon receipt of an opinion of counsel from

exercises of the Option, in form and substance acceptable to
counsel for the Company, to the effect that such shares may be
transferred without violation of the 1933 Act.

of the Company, or to such transfer agent as the Company shall

all property of the Company to, or the acquisition of all or
substantially all of the stock of the Company then outstanding
by, another corporation or person, the Plan shall terminate, and
the Option granted hereunder shall terminate; provided, however,

of the Option then outstanding, then Optionee may, at such time
prior to the consummation of the transaction causing such
termination as the Company shall designate, exercise the
unexercised installments of the Option including all unaccrued
installments thereof which would, but for this subsection 13(a),
not yet be exercisable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that any transaction causing such termination is not
consummated, any unexercised unaccrued installments that had
become exercisable solely by reason of the provisions of this
subsection 13(a) shall again become unaccrued and unexercisable
as of said termination of such transaction, subject, however, to
such installments accruing pursuant to the normal accrual
schedule provided in the terms under which the Option was

granted pursuant to subsection 13(a) above, if provisions shall

continuance of the Plan and/or the assumption of options
theretofore granted, or the substitution for such options of
options covering the stock of the successor corporation, or a
parent or subsidiary thereof with appropriate adjustments as to
the number and kind of shares and prices, the unexercised Option
shall continue in the manner and under the terms so provided.
(c) The Company shall have no obligation to provide
for the continuance, assumption or substitution of the Plan or

THE COMPANY:
MAXICARE HEALTH PLANS, INC.
By: /s/ Peter J. Ratican
Chairman, Chief Executive
Officer and President
OPTIONEE:
/s/ Dave Hammons
Exhibit 10.67
MAXICARE HEALTH PLANS, INC.
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
Maxicare Health Plans, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), hereby grants as of this 20th day of
December, 1993, to David Hammons (the "Optionee"), an option
to purchase a maximum of 5,000 shares of its common stock
(the "Common Stock"), at a price per share (the "Exercise
Price") of $9.63 per share (the "Option"), on the following
terms and conditions:
1. GRANT UNDER 1990 STOCK PLAN. The Option is
granted pursuant to and is governed by the Company's 1990
Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") and, unless the context
otherwise requires, terms used and/or defined herein shall
have the same meaning as in the Plan. Determinations made
in connection with this Option pursuant to the Plan shall be
governed by the Plan as it exists on this date. This Option
is not intended to be and shall not be treated as an
incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code.
2. EXTENT OF OPTION. If the Optionee has continued
to serve in the capacity of an officer, employee, or
director with the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the
case may be) on the following dates, the Optionee may,
subject to Section 13 hereof, exercise this Option for the
portion of the total number of shares subject to this Option
set opposite the applicable date:
Less than one year from the - 0 shares
date hereof
One year but less than two years - 1,667 shares
from the date hereof
Two years but less than three - 1,667 shares
years from the date hereof
Three years but less than four - 1,666 shares
years from the date hereof
The foregoing rights are cumulative and, while the Optionee
continues to serve as an officer, director or employee of
the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be),
may be exercised up to and including the earlier of the date
which is five years from the date this Option is granted
(the "Fifth Anniversary Date"). For purposes of this
Agreement, any accrued installment shall be referred to as
an "Accrued Installment". All of the foregoing rights are
subject to Sections 3 and 4 hereof, as appropriate, if the
Optionee ceases to serve as an officer, director or employee
of the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be)
or becomes disabled or dies while serving as an officer,
director or employee of the Company (or a subsidiary
thereof, as the case may be).
3. TERMINATION OF BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP. If the
Optionee ceases to remain an officer, director or employee
of the Company (or subsidiary thereof, as the case may be),
other than by reason of death or disability as defined in
Section 4, any unexercised Accrued Installments of the
Option shall expire and become unexercisable as of the
earlier of (i) the Fifth Anniversary Date, or (ii) thirty
(30) days following the termination of Optionee's employment
or termination of Optionee's directorship. No further
installments of this Option shall become exercisable. The
Board of Directors of the Company may extend such thirty
(30) day period for a period not to exceed one (1) year
following the Termination Date (as defined in the Plan), but
in no event beyond the applicable Fifth Anniversary Date.
In such a case, the Optionee's only rights hereunder shall
be those which are properly exercised before the termination
of this Option. Any portion of an Option that expires
hereunder shall remain unexercisable and be of no effect
whatsoever after such expiration notwithstanding that such
Optionee may be reemployed by, or again become a director
of, the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may
be).
4. DEATH OR DISABILITY. In the event of the death
of the Optionee while an officer, employee or director of
the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be),
or in the event of termination of employment or directorship
by reason of the Optionee's Disability (as defined in the
Plan), any unexercised Accrued Installments of the Option
granted to Optionee shall expire and become unexercisable as
of the earlier of (i) the Fifth Anniversary Date, or (ii)
the first anniversary date of the Optionee's death (if
applicable) or (iii) the first anniversary date of the
termination of employment or directorship by reason of
Disability (if applicable). Any such Accrued Installments
of a deceased Optionee may be exercised prior to their
expiration by (and only by) the person or persons to whom
the Optionee's Option rights shall pass by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution. Any installments under a
deceased Optionee's Option that have not accrued as of the
date of his death shall expire and become unexercisable as
of said date of death. For purposes of this Agreement, the
Optionee shall be deemed employed by the Company (or a
subsidiary thereof, as the case may be) during any period of
leave of absence from active employment as authorized by the
Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may be).
5. PARTIAL EXERCISE. Exercise of this Option up to
the extent above stated may be in part at any time and from
time to time with the above limits, except that this Option
may not be exercised for a fraction of a share. Upon the
exercise of the final installment of this Option, the
Optionee shall be entitled to receive cash with respect to
the value of any fraction of a share (in lieu of any said
fractional share).
6. PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. The Exercise Price
is payable in United States dollars and may be paid in cash
or by certified or cashier's check, or any combination of
the foregoing, equal in amount to the Exercise Price.
7. INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS; RESTRICTIONS ON
TRANSFER.
(a) The Optionee represents, warrants and covenants
to the Company that:
(i) Any Common Stock acquired by the Optionee upon
exercise of the Option will be acquired for the Optionee's
own account and not with a view to resale on distribution in
violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"1933 Act").
(ii) The Optionee has such knowledge and experience
in business and financial matters as to be capable of
utilizing the information which is available to the Optionee
to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the
Common Stock, and is able to bear the economic risks of any
Common Stock or other securities which the Optionee may
acquire upon exercise of the Option.
(iii) The Optionee understands that the Option has not
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "1933 Act"), that the Option has been issued in
reliance upon certain exemptions contained therein. The
Optionee further understands that because the Option has not
been registered under the 1933 Act or registered or
qualified pursuant to applicable "blue sky" statutes, the
Optionee may not, and Optionee covenants and agrees that
Optionee will not, sell, offer to sell or otherwise dispose
of any such Option in violation of the 1933 Act or any
applicable "blue sky" or securities law of any state. The
Optionee acknowledges and understands that Optionee has no
independent right to require the Company to register the
Option.
8. METHOD OF EXERCISING OPTION. Subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, this Option may be
exercised by written notice to the Company, at the principal
executive office of the Company, or to such transfer agent
as the Company shall designate. Such notice shall state the
election to exercise this Option and the number of shares in
respect of which it is being exercised and shall be signed
by the Optionee or person or persons entitled to so exercise
this Option. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment of
the full Exercise Price of such shares, and the Company
shall deliver a certificate or certificates representing
such shares as soon as practicable after the notice is
received. The certificate or certificates for the shares as
to which this Option shall have been so exercised shall be
registered in the name of the person or persons so
exercising this Option (or, if this Option shall be
exercised by the Optionee and if the Optionee shall so
request in the notice exercising this Option, shall be
registered in the name of the Optionee and another person
jointly, with right of survivorship) and shall be delivered
to or upon the written order of the person or persons
exercising this Option. In the event this Option shall be
exercised, pursuant to Section 4 hereof, by any person or
persons other than the Optionee, such notice shall be
accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such person
or persons to exercise this Option. All shares that shall
be purchased upon the exercise of this Option as provided
herein shall be fully paid and non-assessable.
9. OPTION NOT TRANSFERABLE; TRANSFER OF STOCK.
This Option is not transferable or assignable except by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the
Optionee's lifetime, only the Optionee may exercise this
Option.
10. NO OBLIGATION TO EXERCISE OPTION. The grant and
acceptance of this Option imposes no obligation on the
Optionee to exercise it.
11. NO OBLIGATION TO CONTINUE EMPLOYMENT. Neither
the Company nor any subsidiary thereof is by the Plan or
this Option obligated to continue to employ Optionee and
neither the Plan nor this Option shall otherwise interfere
with the Company's or any of the Company's subsidiary's
right to discharge or retire any employee, including
Optionee, at any time.
12. NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER UNTIL EXERCISE. The
Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect
to shares subject to this Agreement until a stock
certificate therefore has been issued to the Optionee and is
fully paid for. Except as is expressly provided in the Plan
with respect to certain changes in the capitalization of the
Company, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or
similar rights for which the record date is prior to the
date such stock certificate is issued.
13. REORGANIZATION OF COMPANY.
(a) Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, or upon a reorganization, merger or consolidation
of the Company as a result of which the Company's
outstanding Common Stock is changed into or exchanged for
cash or property or securities not of the Company's issue,
or upon a sale of all or substantially all property of the
Company to, or the acquisition of all or substantially all
of the stock of the Company then outstanding by, another
corporation or person, the Plan shall terminate, and the
Option granted hereunder shall terminate; provided, however,
Optionee shall be entitled, at such time prior to the
consummation of the transaction causing such termination as
the Company shall designate, to exercise the unexercised
installments of the Option including all unaccrued
installments thereof which would, but for this subsection
13(a), not yet be exercisable. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that any transaction causing such
termination is not consummated, any unexercised unaccrued
installments that had become exercisable solely by reason of
the provisions of this subsection 13(a) shall again become
unaccrued and unexercisable as of said termination of such
transaction, subject, however, to such installments accruing
pursuant to the normal accrual schedule provided in the
terms under which the Option was granted.
(b) In addition to and not in lieu of those rights
granted pursuant to subsection 13(a) above, if provisions
shall be made in writing in connection with such transaction
for the continuance of the Plan and/or the assumption of
options theretofore granted, or the substitution for such
options of options covering the stock of the successor
corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof with
appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares
and prices, the unexercised Option shall continue in the
manner and under the terms so provided.
(c) The Company shall have no obligation to provide
for the continuance, assumption or substitution of the Plan
or the Option by any successor corporation or parent or
subsidiary thereof.
14. WITHHOLDING TAXES. The Optionee hereby agrees
that the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case may
be) may withhold from the Optionee's wages or other
remuneration the appropriate amount of federal, state and
local taxes attributable to the Optionee's exercise of any
installment of this Option. The Optionee further agrees
that, if the Company (or a subsidiary thereof, as the case
may be) does not withhold an amount from the Optionee's
wages or other remuneration sufficient to satisfy the
Company's (or any such subsidiary's) withholding obligation,
the Optionee will reimburse the Company (or any such
subsidiary) on demand, in cash, for the amount
underwithheld.
15. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed
by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State
of California applicable to agreements made and to be
performed entirely within such State and without regard to
the conflict of law principals thereof.
16. AMENDMENTS. No amendment, modification,
termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement
shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing
signed by all parties hereto.
17. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be signed in
one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to
be an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.
18. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS. All
representations, covenants and warranties of the parties
hereto shall survive the execution of this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF the Company and the Optionee have
caused this instrument to be executed as of the date first
written above, and the Optionee whose signature appears
