Subordinated Notes due May 8, 2026
May 8, 2018
TO EACH OF THE PURCHASERS LISTED IN
THE PURCHASER SCHEDULE HERETO:
Ladies and Gentlemen:
R1 RCM INC., a Delaware corporation, agrees with each of the Purchasers as follows:
Section 1.    AUTHORIZATION OF NOTES; INTEREST RATE.
Section 1.1.    Authorization of Notes. The Company has authorized or will authorize the issue and sale of $110,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Subordinated Notes due May 8, 2026 (the “Notes”). The Notes shall be substantially in the form set out in Schedule 1. Certain capitalized and other terms used in this Agreement are defined in Schedule A and, for purposes of this Agreement, the rules of construction set forth in Section 22.2 and Section 22.4 shall govern.
Section 1.2.    Interest.
(a)    Subject to subsections 1.2(e) and 1.2(f), each Note shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate. Interest will be payable quarterly in cash on the applicable Interest Payment Date; provided, that (i) for any one or more Fiscal Quarters ending on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, at the election of the Company (as evidenced by a written authorization of the board of directors of the Company and other than if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), 75% (or such lesser percentage as the Company may elect) of each applicable interest payment will be payable in kind (with such payment being capitalized to principal on the last day of each applicable Fiscal Quarter) and 25% (or such applicable greater percentage to the extent the Company elects to pay less than 75% in kind) of each such interest payment will be payable quarterly in cash; (ii) for any one or more Fiscal Quarters ending after the first anniversary of the Closing Date and on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, at the election of the Company (as evidenced by a written authorization of the board of directors of the Company and other than if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), 50% (or such lesser percentage as the Company may elect) of each applicable interest payment will be payable in kind (with such payment being capitalized to principal on the last day of each applicable Fiscal Quarter) and 50% (or such applicable greater percentage to the extent the Company elects to pay less than 50% in



kind) of each such interest payment will be payable quarterly in cash; and (iii) for any one or more subsequent Fiscal Quarters, at the election of the Company (as evidenced by a written authorization of the board of directors of the Company and other than if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), 25% (or such lesser percentage as the Company may elect) of each applicable interest payment will be payable in kind (with such payment being capitalized to principal on the last day of each applicable Fiscal Quarter) and 75% (or such applicable greater percentage to the extent the Company elects to pay less than 25% in kind) of each such interest payment will be payable quarterly in cash (each such payment in kind capitalized to principal pursuant to this Section 1.2(a), a “Principal Increase”). Principal Increases shall be considered principal of the Notes for all purposes, including without limitation, calculation of interest on subsequent Interest Payment Dates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on any Interest Payment Date the payment of cash interest is prohibited by the Subordination Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have elected to pay in kind the entirety of such interest payment on such Interest Payment Date.
(b)    Subject to Section 1.2(a) above and in accordance with the terms hereof, interest on each Note shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date. Accrued interest shall also be paid in cash on the date of any redemption or repurchase of the Notes.
(c)    All computations of fees and interest payable under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and actual days elapsed. Interest and fees shall accrue during each period during which interest or such fees are computed from and including the first day thereof to but excluding the last day thereof.
(d)    If any Interest Payment Date, any redemption date or the Maturity Date in respect of any Note is not a Business Day, then payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest shall be made on the next Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the nominal date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue for the period after such nominal date to the date of such payment on the next Business Day.
(e)    Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Sections 11(a) and (f), only overdue amounts shall automatically bear interest at the Default Rate and all interest shall be payable on demand of the applicable Purchaser.
(f)    Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Company hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by the respective Purchaser would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Purchaser limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Purchaser, and in such event the Company shall pay such Purchaser interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law (“Maximum Lawful Rate”);

-2-


provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Company shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by the Purchasers is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this Section 1.2(f)) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
(g)    The Company and the Purchasers agree (i) that the Notes are intended to be treated as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (ii) that the Notes are issued with original issue discount, (iii) that the Notes are not governed by the rules set out in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-4, and (iv) not to file any tax return, report or declaration inconsistent with this Section 1.2(g). The inclusion of this Section 1.2(g) is not an admission by any Purchaser that it is subject to United States taxation.
(h)    As used herein, “Interest Payment Date” means March 31st, June 30th, September 30th and December 31st of each year.
(i)    As used herein, “Interest Rate” means 14.0% per annum, increasing by 1.0% per annum on the third anniversary of the Closing Date and by an additional 1.0% per annum on each subsequent anniversary of the Closing Date until the Notes are repaid in full.
(j)    As used herein, “Default Rate” means that rate of interest per annum that is equal to 2.0% per annum above the rate of interest on the Notes that would otherwise be in effect.
Section 1.3.    Subordination. The Notes and the rights and obligations evidenced thereby are subordinate in the manner and to the extent set forth in that certain Subordination Agreement (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Subordination Agreement”), dated as of May 8, 2018, among the Purchasers, R1 RCM Inc., Bank of America, N.A., and the other parties thereto, to the Senior Obligations (as defined therein); and each holder of a Note, by its acceptance thereof, irrevocably agrees to be bound by the provisions of the Subordination Agreement. Immediately following the termination of any Payment Blockage Period (as defined in the Subordination Agreement), payments by the Company of principal, cash interest and other cash amounts in respect of the Notes and this Agreement shall be resumed and, in the case of any missed payments, shall be paid in full.


Section 2.    SALE AND PURCHASE OF NOTES.

-3-


Section 2.1.    Purchase of Note. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will issue and sell to each Purchaser and each Purchaser will purchase from the Company, on the Closing Date and as provided for in Section 3, Notes in the principal amount specified opposite such Purchaser’s name in the Purchaser Schedule at the purchase price of 98.00% of the principal amount thereof; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and each Purchaser agree that the Notes shall for all purposes be treated as outstanding in the stated principal balance thereof, subject to Principal Increases and principal repayments made by the Company. The Purchasers’ obligations hereunder are several and not joint obligations and no Purchaser shall have any liability to any Person for the performance or non-performance of any obligation by any other Purchaser hereunder.
Section 2.2.    Guarantee. Subject to the Subordination Agreement, the payment by the Company of all amounts due with respect to the Notes and the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement will be absolutely and unconditionally guaranteed by the Initial Subsidiary Guarantors and any other Subsidiary that delivers a guaranty pursuant to Section 9.10 (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), pursuant to a Subsidiary Guaranty substantially in the form of Schedule 2 (the “Subsidiary Guaranty”).


Section 3.    CLOSING.
The sale and purchase of the Notes to be purchased by each Purchaser shall occur at the offices of Kirkland and Ellis LLP, 601 Lexington Ave, New York, New York 10022, on May 8, 2018 (the “Closing Date”); provided, however, that the Closing Date may be moved to such other Business Day as may be agreed upon by the Company and the Purchasers. On the Closing Date, the Company will deliver to each Purchaser the Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of a single Note (or such greater number of Notes in denominations of at least $100,000 as such Purchaser may request) dated the Closing Date and registered in such Purchaser’s name (or in the name of its nominee), against delivery by such Purchaser to the Company or its order of immediately available funds in the amount of the purchase price therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds for the account of the Company previously identified to the Purchasers in writing.

(b)    All financial performance projections, forecasts, budgets, estimates and forward-looking statements concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries delivered to the Purchasers on or prior to the Closing Date were prepared by or on behalf of the Company in good faith based on assumptions believed by the Company to be reasonable at the time of preparation and at the time furnished to the Purchasers, it being acknowledged and agreed by the Purchasers that such projections (a) are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many which are beyond the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ control, that no assurance can be given that any particular financial projections will be realized, and that actual results may differ and that such differences may be material and (b) are not a guarantee of future performance.
(c)    No Default or Event of Default exists or would result from the consummation of the Transactions.

-18-


paid in cash by the Company to the holder of the Notes thereof on such Testing Date, it being the intent of the parties hereto that the deductibility of interest under such Note shall not be disallowed or deferred by reason of Section 163(i) of the Code.

Section 12.2.    Other Remedies.

Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by a Purchaser or its nominee, such Purchaser will, at its election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to the Company in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 13.2. The Company will afford the benefits of this Section 14.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by a Purchaser under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as the Purchasers have made in this Section 14.2.

The Company also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or to the Company’s or such Subsidiaries’ respective equity holders or creditors or any other person arising out of, related to or in connection with any aspect of the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent of direct (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive) damages determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or its material breach of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Indemnified Party shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic telecommunications or other information transmission systems, other than for direct, actual damages resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or any of its Related Indemnified Parties as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding against an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party unless (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and (ii) does not include any statement as to any admission.

(a)    no amendment or waiver of any of Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 21 hereof, or any defined term (as it is used therein), will be effective as to any holder of Notes unless consented to by such holder in writing; and

For the purposes of this Section 20, “Confidential Information” means information relating to the Company, its Subsidiaries, and their respective businesses and operations, in each case, delivered to any holder of a Note (in its capacity as such) by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such holder or any of its Affiliates prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission or violation of this Section 20 by such holder or any Person acting on such holder’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such holder or any of its Affiliates other than through disclosure by the Company or any Subsidiary and from a source not known by such holder of any of its Affiliates to be subject to disclosure restrictions or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such holder in accordance with the terms hereof

-44-


that are otherwise publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 20. Each holder of a Note will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such holder in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such holder, provided that such holder may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, attorneys, and trustees (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Notes) who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with this Section 20, (ii) its auditors, financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with this Section 20, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 20), (v) any Person from which it offers to purchase any Security of the Company (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 20), (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such holder, (vii) any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such holder’s investment portfolio (solely to the extent necessary for ratings purposes), or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such holder, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such holder is a party, or (z) if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such holder may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such holder’s Notes, this Agreement, or the Subsidiary Guaranty. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement.
In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, any Purchaser or holder of a Note is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through IntraLinks, another secure website, a secure virtual workspace or otherwise) which is different from this Section 20, this Section 20 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or such holder and the Company, this Section 20 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking.
Section 21.    SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER.
Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates or another Purchaser or any one of such other Purchaser’s Affiliates (other than any entity that has elected to be regulated as a “business development company” under the Investment Company Act or a Disqualified Person) (a “Substitute Purchaser”) as the purchaser of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder,

-45-


by written notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Substitute Purchaser, shall contain such Substitute Purchaser’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Substitute Purchaser of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser in lieu of such original Purchaser. In the event that such Substitute Purchaser is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Substitute Purchaser thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Substitute Purchaser, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Substitute Purchaser as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.
Section 22.    MISCELLANEOUS.
Section 22.1.    Successors and Assigns. All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including any subsequent holder of a Note, but which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Disqualified Persons) whether so expressed or not, except that the Obligors may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder or under the Notes or any other Note Documents without the prior written consent of each holder. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
Section 22.2.    Accounting Terms. All accounting determinations required to be made pursuant hereto shall, unless expressly otherwise provided herein, be made in accordance with GAAP. No change in the accounting principles used in the preparation of any financial statement hereafter adopted by the Company shall be given effect for purposes of measuring compliance with any provision of Section 10 unless the Company and the Required Holders agree to modify such provisions to reflect such changes in GAAP and, unless such provisions are modified, all financial statements, Compliance Certificates and similar documents provided hereunder shall be provided together with a reconciliation between the calculations and amounts set forth therein before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, all leases of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries that are treated as operating leases for purposes of GAAP on the Closing Date shall continue to be accounted for as operating leases regardless of any change in, or in the application of, GAAP following such date that would otherwise require such leases to be treated as capital leases. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios

-46-


referred to in Section 10 shall be made, without giving effect to any election under Accounting Standards Codification 825-10 (or any other Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other Liabilities of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any Subsidiary of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor at “fair value.” If the incurrence of any Lien in compliance with this Agreement is subject to a maximum leverage ratio, then, solely for the purposes of determining such availability or compliance, the cash proceeds of the Indebtedness secured by such Lien shall not be included in the calculation, if applicable, of cash or cash equivalents included in the determination of such leverage ratio; provided that, to the extent the proceeds of any such Indebtedness are to be used to repay other Indebtedness, the foregoing shall not limit the ‎Company’s ability to give Pro Forma Effect to such repayment of Indebtedness and all other appropriate pro forma adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any obligation of a Person under a lease that is not (or would not be) required to be classified and accounted for as a Capital Lease on a balance sheet of such Person under GAAP as in effect and implemented on the Closing Date shall not be treated as a Capital Lease as a result of the adoption of changes in GAAP or changes in the application of GAAP.
Section 22.3.    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 22.4.    Construction, Etc.. Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.
Defined terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms.
