ITEM 4.
PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
 
On March 5, 2007, the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company announced that it had rejected a proposal (the “Proposal”) from Capital Z Partners, Ltd. (“Cap Z Ltd.”), Lee Equity Partners, LLC, Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe X, L.P., Perry Capital, LLC (an affiliate of Perry Corp.) and Mr. Richard Barasch to acquire the Company for $18.15 per share in cash.  The Proposal has been withdrawn on May 7, 2007.
 
On May 7, 2007, the following transactions were entered into:
 
(1)           The Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “First Stage SPA”) with Union Square Universal Partners, L.P. (“Union Square”), Lee-Universal Holdings, LLC (“Lee”), Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe X, L.P. (“WCAS”) and Perry Funds, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to such investors, and such investors (severally and not jointly) agreed to purchase from the Company, on and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company and shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company, at a purchase price of $2,000.00 per share of Preferred Stock.  Under the First Stage SPA, Perry Funds subscribed to purchase from the Company 24,868 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and no shares of Series B Preferred Stock.
 
The Company’s Series A Preferred Stock is a non-voting security and is not convertible into shares of Common Stock while owned by Union Square, Lee, WCAS or Perry Funds (the “Initial Holders”) or any affiliate of an Initial Holder.  However, (A) upon transfer of a share of Series A Preferred Stock to a holder other than an Initial Holder or an affiliate of an Initial Holder, such share of Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert into 100 shares of Common Stock (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments), and (B) following receipt of certain approvals, a holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to exchange such shares of Series A Preferred Stock for a corresponding number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock (which exchange is subject to various conditions).
 
Each share of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock will be convertible (at the option of the holder thereof or, subject to certain conditions, by the Company) into 100 shares of Common Stock (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments) and entitle the holder thereof to a number of votes (on all matters on which holders of Common Stock may vote) equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible.
 
A copy of the First Stage SPA is set forth in Exhibit C hereto.  A copy of the form of Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company to establish the rights, preferences and powers of the Series A Preferred Stock is set forth in Exhibit D hereto.  A copy of the form of Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company to establish the rights, preferences and powers of the Series B Preferred Stock is set forth in Exhibit E hereto.

(2)           The Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Perry Funds and certain other persons.  A copy of this Registration Rights Agreement is set forth in Exhibit F hereto.
 
(3)           The Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with MHRx LLC, MemberHealth, Inc. (“MemberHealth”) and the other parties thereto, relating to a proposed acquisition of MemberHealth by the Company.
 
In connection with the Merger Agreement, Perry Funds entered into a Voting Agreement with MHRx LLC and MemberHealth pursuant to which Perry Funds agreed, among other things, to vote their shares in the Company in favor of the Company share issuances and the Company charter amendment contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Second Stage SPA referred to below.  A copy of this Voting Agreement is set forth in Exhibit G hereto.
 
(4)           The Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Second Stage SPA”) with Union Square, Lee, WCAS and Perry Funds, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to such investors, and such investors (severally and not jointly) agreed to purchase from the Company, on and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, shares of Series B Preferred Stock (which shares may, at the request of any such investor, be instead issued to such investor in the form of Series A Preferred Stock) for a purchase price of $2,000.00 per share of Preferred Stock.  The obligations of the investors to consummate the purchase under the Second Stage SPA is subject to the concurrent closing of the MemberHealth acquisition pursuant to the Merger Agreement, receipt of certain Company shareholder approvals, receipt of regulatory approvals, and other customary conditions.  Under the Second Stage SPA, Perry Funds subscribed to purchase from the Company 27,632 shares of Series B Preferred Stock.  A copy of the Second Stage SPA is set forth in Exhibit H hereto.
 
(5)           Pursuant to the Second Stage SPA, a Stockholders Agreement (the “New Stockholders Agreement”), the form of which is substantially as set forth in Exhibit I hereto, will be entered into by the Company, Union Square, Lee, Perry Funds, WCAS, Mr. Richard Barasch and certain other stockholders of the Company in connection with the closing under the Second Stage SPA.  Pursuant to the New Stockholders Agreement, among other things, from and after the closing under the Second Stage SPA, (i) the Board of Directors of the Company will consist of thirteen directors, composed as follows: (A) two directors designated collectively by Union Square and certain affiliates of Cap Z Ltd., (B) two directors designated by WCAS, (C) one director designated by Lee, (D) one director designated by Perry Funds, (E) the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and (F) six additional directors who shall each satisfy the criteria for “independent director” under applicable NASDAQ rules, and (ii) the stockholders party to the New Stockholders Agreement will agree to (A) vote all their shares in favor of election to the Company’s Board of Directors of such individuals as the parties to the New Stockholders Agreement are entitled to designate from time to time, (B) certain restrictions on their ability to acquire additional shares of Common Stock without the approval of the Company’s independent directors, and (C) grant certain rights of first offer and other rights applicable to certain transfers of their shares in the Company.
 
(6)           Perry Funds agreed with the Company that Perry Funds would not transfer any shares acquired under the First Stage SPA or the Second Stage SPA, in each case, for a period of one year from the date of the applicable acquisition, subject to limited exceptions.

The descriptions herein of the various agreements and other documents referred to above are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements and documents, which are incorporated herein by reference.
 
Except as otherwise contemplated herein, the Reporting Persons currently have no plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the actions enumerated in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the form of Schedule 13D promulgated under the Act.  However, each of the Reporting Persons reserves the right to change its plans at any time, as it deems appropriate, in light of its ongoing evaluation of (a) its business and liquidity objectives, (b) the Company’s financial condition, business, operations, competitive position, prospects and/or share price, (c) industry, economic and/or securities markets conditions, (d) alternative investment opportunities, and (e) other relevant factors.  Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, each of the Reporting Persons reserves the right (in each case, subject to any applicable restrictions under law or contract) to at any time or from time to time (i) purchase or otherwise acquire additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or instruments convertible into or exercisable for any such securities (collectively, “Company Securities”), in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, (ii) sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of Company Securities in public or private transactions, (iii) cause Company Securities to be distributed in kind to its investors, (iv) acquire or write options contracts, or enter into derivatives or hedging transactions, relating to Company Securities, and/or (v) encourage (including, without limitation, through their designees on the Company’s board of directors and/or communications with directors, management, and existing or prospective security holders, investors or lenders, of the Company, existing or potential strategic partners, industry analysts and other investment and financing professionals) the Company to consider or explore (A) sales or acquisitions of assets or businesses, or extraordinary corporate transactions, such as a merger (including transactions in which affiliates of the Reporting Persons may be proposed as acquirers or as a source of financing), (B) changes to the Company’s capitalization or dividend policy, or (C) other changes to the Company’s business or structure.
 
ITEM 5.
INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
 
(a)-(b)     Perry Corp. is the indirect beneficial owner of 5,820,500 shares of Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 9.79% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock.   Perry Corp. has sole power to vote and sole power to dispose of such 5,820,500 shares of Common Stock.  By virtue of his position as President, sole director and sole shareholder of Perry Corp., Richard C. Perry may be considered to indirectly beneficially own such shares of Common Stock.
 
The percentage in the foregoing paragraph is calculated based on the number of shares of Common Stock (59,442,873) outstanding as of May 7, 2007 (as represented by the Company in the First Stage SPA and the Second Stage SPA), and does not consider (A) any shares of Common Stock underlying the shares of Series B Preferred Stock issuable to the other investors at the closing under the First Stage SPA, (B) any shares of Common Stock that may become issuable to non-affiliated transferees upon transfer by any Initial Holder of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock that are issuable at the closing under the First Stage SPA, (C) any shares of Common Stock underlying the shares of Preferred Stock issuable at the closing under the Second Stage SPA (which issuance is subject to various conditions precedent), (D) any shares of Common Stock that may become issuable upon conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock that are issued by the Company in exchange for shares of Series A Preferred Stock (which exchange is subject to various conditions) or (E) any shares of Common Stock issuable to equity holders of MemberHealth pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

In light of the withdrawal of the Proposal as of May 7, 2007, any “group” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b) under the Act) that may have been deemed to have been formed by reason of the Proposal has been terminated as of May 7, 2007.  However, as a result of the matters described in Item 4 hereof, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a “group” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b) under the Act) with Union Square, WCAS and Lee, and certain of their respective affiliates.  As a result, and on that basis, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own shares of Common Stock that may be beneficially owned by such persons, including: (i) an aggregate 16,870,236 shares of Common Stock that Union Square has advised the Reporting Persons that Union Square and/or its affiliates (including certain affiliates of Cap Z Ltd.) beneficially own, (ii) an aggregate 2,815,900 shares of Common Stock that WCAS has advised the Reporting Persons that WCAS and/or its affiliates beneficially own, and (iii) an aggregate 2,486,800 shares of Common Stock that Lee has advised the Reporting Persons that Lee and/or its affiliates beneficially own.  Including all such shares on the foregoing basis, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be beneficial owners of, in the aggregate, 45.6% of the outstanding Common Stock.  Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of shares that may be beneficially owned by Union Square, WCAS and Lee and any of their respective affiliates, and neither the filing of this Statement nor its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission to the contrary.
 
The percentage in the foregoing paragraph is calculated based on a total of 61,395,573 shares of Common Stock outstanding, which (A) includes the number of shares of Common Stock (59,442,873) outstanding as of May 7, 2007 (as represented by the Company in the First Stage SPA and the Second Stage SPA) and (B) assumes the conversion into Common Stock of all shares of Series B Preferred Stock issuable at the closing under the First Stage SPA, which results in an additional 1,952,700 shares of Common Stock.  The calculation of such percentage does not consider (w) any shares of Common Stock that may become issuable to non-affiliated transferees upon transfer by any Initial Holder of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock that are issuable at the closing under the First Stage SPA, (x) any shares of Common Stock underlying the shares of Preferred Stock issuable at the closing under the Second Stage SPA (which issuance is subject to various conditions precedent), (y) any shares of Common Stock that may become issuable upon conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock that are issued by the Company in exchange for shares of Series A Preferred Stock (which exchange is subject to various conditions) or (z) any shares of Common Stock issuable to equity holders of MemberHealth pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
 
(c)           Except as described in Item 4 (which is incorporated herein by reference), there have been no transactions with respect to the shares of Common Stock during the sixty days prior to the date of this statement on Schedule 13D by either Perry Corp. or Richard C. Perry.
 
(d)           The limited partners of (or investors in) each of two or more private investment funds for which Perry Corp. acts as general partner and/or investment adviser have the right to participate in the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock (as well as Preferred Stock) held for the accounts of their respective funds in accordance with their respective limited partnership interests (or investment percentages) in their respective funds.

Except for the arrangements described in the responses to Items 4 and 5 hereof, and the agreements and other documents attached as Exhibits hereto, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 of this statement and between such persons and any other person with respect to any securities of the Company, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
