Renewal of this Agreement shall be accomplished by attaching to this <br />Agreement a revised Client Intent form or other such document that may be <br />presented by HMA to Plan Sponsor that confirms Plan Sponsor’s intent to renew <br />its services with HMA, which identifies the services to be performed and the <br />associated fees to be paid, along with any other associated disclosure documents <br />that may be presented as a Renewal offer by HMA (the “Renewal”) that is which <br />shall include an updated Schedule of Commissions and Administrative Fees, signed <br />by the parties to this Agreement and setting forth the term of such renewal (the <br />“Renewal Term”). In the event a revised Renewal Client Intent From is not signed <br />by the parties, but the parties continue to perform under this Agreement, then it <br />shall be deemed to be renewed for successive one (1) year periods until <br />terminated. HMA at its sole discretion may continue to provide services for a period <br />of time under the last executed Renewal Client Intent or initial sale documents but <br />shall be entitled to payment of all fees as outlined in the Renewal Client Intent <br />upon execution without any proration or forgiveness due delay in execution. <br />(b)Termination by Either Party. This Agreement may be terminated by either Plan <br />Sponsor or by HMA by written notice of intention to terminate given to the other <br />party, to be effective as of a certain date set forth in the written notice, which shall <br />not be less than ninety (90) days from the date of such notice. <br />Upon termination by either party, within thirty days after the date of termination, <br />HMA shall prepare and deliver a complete and final accounting and report as of <br />the date of termination of the financial status of the Plan to the Plan Sponsor, <br />together with all books and records in its possession and control pertaining to the <br />administration of the Plan. All claim files, enrollment materials and other papers <br />necessary for claim payments under the Plan shall be available to the Plan Sponsor <br />upon the date of termination of this Agreement. If requested, HMA will process <br />run- out claims (claims incurred prior to the date of termination). The charge for <br />run-out claim processing will equal 3 months of current administrative fees and <br />the duration will be 12 months. HMA will provide a final accounting to Plan Sponsor <br />on its order. <br />In the event that HMA offers and Plan Sponsor accepts a multi-year fixed rate <br />guarantee for a Renewal Term, as shown within the Schedule of Commissions and <br />Administrative Fees included within the Client Intent form, Plan Sponsor will pay <br />an Early Termination Fee if Plan Sponsor terminates this Agreement prior to the <br />end of the applicable Renewal Term for which the rate guarantee applies, except <br />that the Early Termination Fee will not be due if Plan Sponsor’s termination of the <br />Agreement is for HMA’s breach of the Agreement or for HMA’s negligence or willful <br />misconduct. The Early Termination Fee will be payable in addition to any run-out <br />service fees or other costs owed by Plan Sponsor to HMA under this Agreement. <br />The Early Termination Fee will be an amount equal to 25% of the “Claim <br />Administrative Fees” shown in the applicable Schedule of Commissions and <br />Administrative Fees that, absent termination of the Agreement, would have been <br />otherwise due to HMA during the remainder of the applicable Renewal Term. The <br />Early Termination Fee shall be determined based on enrollment data calculated at <br />an average enrollment head count for the 3 months prior to the termination date <br />of the Agreement. <br />(c)Events Triggering Immediate Termination.
