("Health Plan MAS"), Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Colorado ("Health Plan Colorado"), Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Ohio ("Health Plan Ohio"), Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of the Northwest ("Health Plan Northwest"), several other subsidiaries of Hospitals and of Health Plan, Inc. and eight independent medical groups (the "Pennanente Medical Groups") fonn the integrated health care delivery system known as the Kaiser Pennanente Medical Care Program ("Kaiser Pennanente"). Health Plan Georgia, Health Plan MAS, Health Plan Colorado, Health Plan Ohio, Health Plan Northwest and Health Plan, Inc. collectively are referred to herein as the "Health Plan Organizations" and individually as a "Health Plan Organization." See "THE CREDIT GROUP" herein. Hospitals and Health Plan, Inc. have several subsidiaries (including HAMI, which is a subsidiary of Hospitals, and HPAM!, which is a subsidiary of Health Plan, Inc.), which are not Health Plan Organizations. HAM! and HP AMI were incorporated as nonprofit corporations in 1998 in order to own certain capital assets and lease such assets for use at the facilities of Hospitals and Health Plan, Inc., respectively, in furtherance of their health care delivery mission. As of December 31, 2003, organizations participating in Kaiser Pennanente provided medical, hospital and other health care services to over 8.2 million members (subscribers and their dependents) living primarily in the greater metropolitan areas of San Francisco, Sacramento, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, Fresno, Bakersfield, Portland (Oregon), Denver, Cleveland, Honolulu, Washington, D.C., Baltimore and Atlanta. Approximately 79% of the Kaiser Pennanente members are enrolled in Health Plan, Inc., which serves members in California and Hawaii. The remaining Kaiser Pennanente members are enrolled in one of the other Health Plan Organizations. Most Kaiser Pennanente members enroll under a membership agreement between their employer and one of the Health Plan Organizations. Services are provided principally at facilities owned by Hospitals and the Health Plan Organizations. Physician services are provided by physicians affiliated with one of eight Pennanente Medical Groups that contract with one of the Health Plan Organizations by mutually exclusive contracts or by community physicians that are under contract with one of the Pennanente Medical Groups. Kaiser Pennanente has its origins in the prepaid health care delivery system established to serve workers and their fanlilies during the construction of the Grand Coulee Dam, starting in 1938. Later, Kaiser Pennanente expanded to serve workers and their families at the World War II Henry J. Kaiser shipyards in Richmond, California, and in the Portland-Vancouver area of Oregon and Washington, as well as at the Kaiser Steel Mill in Fontana, California. As described under "SECURlTY FOR THE BONDS," only Hospitals is obligated to make Loan Repayments (described below) under the Loan Agreements and only the Guarantors are obligated to make payments under the Guarantee Agreements. None of the other Health Plan Organizations, the other subsidiaries of Health Plan, Inc. or Hospitals or any Pennanente Medical Groups has any obligation to make payments with respect to the Bonds, nor are any of such organizations parties to any agreement relating to the Bonds.
