8.3 | Savings Clause |
Health Net’s failure to perform its responsibilities set forth in this Agreement (or cause them to be performed) will not constitute grounds for termination by Supplier except as provided in Section16.3 (Termination by Supplier). Supplier’s nonperformance of its obligations under this Agreement will be excused if and to the extent (a) such Supplier nonperformance results from (i) the failure by Health Net (including failure by a Health Net contractor, agent or other party for which Health Net is responsible, but excluding Supplier) to perform an express obligation of Health Net under this Agreement, (ii) the failure of a Health Net Provided Resource provided that such failure shall not be an excuse if it arises out of Supplier’s failure to perform its obligations to manage and provide other Services with respect to such Health Net Provided Resource and the related third party from which Health Net procures such Health Net Provided Resource, and/or (iii) a breach by Health Net of its obligations under this Agreement that prevents Supplier from performing in accordance with this Agreement, and (b) Supplier provides Health Net with reasonable notice of such nonperformance and uses Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform notwithstanding Health Net’s failure to perform or breach.

9.3 | Taxes |
The Parties’ respective responsibilities for taxes arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be as follows:
(a) | Each Party shall be responsible for any personal property taxes on property it owns or leases, for franchise and privilege taxes on its business, and for taxes based on its net income or gross receipts. |
(b) | Supplier shall be responsible for any sales, use, excise, value-added, services, consumption and other taxes and duties payable by Supplier on the goods or services used or consumed by Supplier in providing the Services where the tax is imposed on Supplier’s acquisition or use of such goods or services and the amount of tax is measured by Supplier’s costs in acquiring such goods or services. |
(c) | Health Net shall be responsible for any applicable sales, use, excise, value-added, services, consumption or other tax that is assessed on the provision of the Services as a whole, or on any particular Service by any governmental or taxing authority within the United States; provided, however, that (i) Supplier invoices reflect on a current basis (and in any event before any such tax becomes due and payable) the amount of any such tax in each jurisdiction and the taxable Services to which such tax relates, (ii) if Supplier fails to reflect on its invoice any such tax on a current basis, Supplier shall be financially responsible for any penalties and interest assessed by the taxing authority with respect to such tax, and (iii) if Supplier fails to reflect any such tax on a Supplier invoice within twelve (12) months after the date that such tax is due and payable, Supplier shall be financially responsible for the full amount of such tax, including any penalties and interest. |

(e) | Supplier shall be responsible for any payments required to compensate Supplier Personnel for compensatory tax treatment resulting from Supplier Personnel traveling to perform services, subject to the remainder of this paragraph. In the event that the assignment (or potential assignment) of particular Supplier Personnel to perform Services for Health Net has reached a point such that the continued assignment of such particular personnel is likely to trigger compensatory tax treatment of the travel related expenses reimbursed to such particular Supplier Personnel, Supplier may inform Health Net in writing that Supplier is close to becoming subject to compensatory tax treatment as a result of such assignment, and shall provide an estimate of the amount of such compensatory tax liability. If Supplier fails to so notify Health Net, Supplier shall remain responsible for any amounts resulting from compensatory tax treatment of such particular Supplier Personnel. Following such notice by Supplier, Health Net may then elect by sending written notice to Supplier to be financially responsible for any payments required to compensate Supplier with respect to such particular Supplier Personnel in an amount equal to the compensatory taxes assessed to such particular Supplier Personnel as the result of such assignment to the Health Net account. If Health Net does not so elect, Supplier shall remain responsible for any amounts resulting from compensatory tax treatment of such particular Supplier Personnel, provided, however, Supplier may then relocate such Supplier Personnel to avoid such taxes, and the Parties shall cooperate to make other arrangements so that the Services will be performed without interruption. |
(f) | In the event that a sales, use, excise, value added, services, consumption or other tax is assessed on the provision of any of the Services, the Parties shall work together to segregate the payments under this Agreement into three (3) payment streams: |
(i) | those for taxable Services; |
(ii) | those for which Supplier functions merely as a payment agent for Health Net in receiving goods, supplies, or services (including leasing and licensing arrangements); and |
(iii) | those for other nontaxable Services. |
(g) | The Parties agree to cooperate with each other to enable each to more accurately determine its own tax liability and to minimize such liability to the extent legally permissible, provided however, where the Parties have made a joint assessment in writing as contemplated in this sentence and a taxing authority subsequently determines that a tax should have been collected and/or paid, the limitation in Section 9.3(c)(iii) will not apply. Supplier’s invoices shall separately state the amounts of any taxes Supplier is collecting from Health Net, and Supplier shall remit such taxes to the appropriate authorities. Each Party shall provide and make available to the other any resale certificates, information regarding out-of-state or out-of-country sales or use of equipment, materials or services, and other exemption certificates or information reasonably requested by the other Party. |

(h) | Supplier shall promptly notify Health Net of, and coordinate with Health Net the response to and settlement of, any claim for taxes asserted by applicable taxing authorities for which Health Net is responsible hereunder, it being understood that with respect to any claim arising out of a form or return signed by a Party to this Agreement, such Party shall have the right to elect to control the response to and settlement of the claim, but the other Party shall have all rights, at its sole cost and expense, to participate in the responses and settlements that are appropriate to its potential responsibilities or liabilities. If Health Net requests Supplier to challenge the imposition of any tax, Supplier shall do so in a timely manner and Health Net shall reimburse Supplier for the reasonable legal fees and expenses it incurs. Health Net shall be entitled to any tax refunds or rebates granted to the extent such refunds or rebates are of taxes that were paid by Health Net. |

Supplier’s use of Health Net Facilities does not constitute a leasehold or other property interest in favor of Supplier. |
(v) | Supplier will use the Health Net Facilities in an efficient manner and in a manner that is coordinated and does not interfere with Health Net’s business operations. Supplier is responsible for any damage to Health Net Facilities resulting from the negligent or intentional misconduct of Supplier (or its Subcontractors or other guests) or other failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement respecting the Health Net Facilities. |
(vi) | Supplier will keep the Health Net Facilities in good order, not commit or permit waste or damage to them or use them for any unlawful purpose or act. Supplier will comply with Health Net Policies and with applicable leases made available to Supplier regarding access to and use of the Health Net Facilities, including procedures for the physical security of the Health Net Facilities. |
(vii) | Supplier will permit Health Net and its agents and representatives to enter any portions of the Health Net Facilities occupied by Supplier Personnel. |
(viii) | Supplier may not make improvements or changes involving structural, mechanical or electrical alterations to the Health Net Facilities without Health Net’s prior written approval. Any improvements to the Health Net Facilities will become the property of Health Net. |
(ix) | When Health Net Facilities are no longer required for performance of the Services, or in any event upon expiration or termination of this Agreement (or the applicable lease term, if shorter), Supplier will return them to Health Net in substantially the same condition as when Supplier began use of them, subject to reasonable wear and tear. |
11.3 | Required Consents |
(a) | Health Net, with the cooperation of Supplier, is responsible for obtaining Required Consents under any of the leases, contracts and licenses referred to in this Section 11 (Transfer or Use of Resources) (the “Used Resources”). Health Net will work diligently to obtain such Required Consents as soon as practicable after: |
(i) | the Effective Date with respect to the Used Resources known as of the Effective Date, or |
(ii) | such later date as agreed by the Parties with respect to new Used Resources agreed to by the Parties after the Effective Date, if any. |
Terms and Conditions | 44 | Health Net / Cognizant Confidential |
Final
(b) | To the extent a Required Consent under this Section 11 has not been obtained prior to the Transfer Date of the applicable Health Net Personnel who have a role in obtaining a given Required Consent, then once such Health Net Personnel are Transitioned Employees, Supplier will utilize such Transitioned Employee to obtain such Required Consents, provided that this shall not relieve Health Net from any legal obligation (including the obligations Health Net may have to the third parties from which such Required Consents are sought) to obtain their consent to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. |
(c) | The Parties will equally bear any fees (such as transfer or upgrade fees) required to obtain a Required Consent relating to the Used Resources. Unless and until each such Required Consent has been obtained, to the extent practical Supplier will determine and adopt, subject to Health Net’s prior written approval, such alternative approaches to provide the Services without the Required Consent. The Parties shall equally bear the costs to implement such alternative approaches. |
(d) | If either Party is not able to obtain any such Required Consent, or if it elects not to obtain a Required Consent because of the cost or other terms required to obtain such Required Consent, Health Net reserves the right to remove from the scope of this Agreement any affected Services (or reduce the volume of any affected Services). If the failure to obtain the Required Consent has a material impact on Supplier’s ability to provide the remaining Services or its Charges, Supplier may remove from the scope of this Agreement any affected Services (or reduce the volume of any affected Services). In either such event (i) the Charges shall be reduced using the charging methodologies provided in Schedule C (Charges) and unit rates set forth in the applicable SOW, or otherwise in an equitable manner to the extent such unit rates and charging methodologies do not provide a means to determine what the reduction of Supplier’s Charges should be, and (ii) Health Net shall have the right to rehire Transitioned Employees that are performing or will perform the Services removed from the scope of this Agreement. Health Net’s right in such case to remove or reduce Services (and the corresponding adjustment to charges and right to rehire Transitioned Personnel) shall extend to other Services that relate to Services for which a Required Consent is not obtained if, in Health Net’s reasonable determination, such other Services should be grouped together for operational, maintenance or other reasons. The removal or reduction of Services pursuant to this Section 11.3(d) will be subject to the Change Control Process and Schedule G (Governance). |
11.4 | Health Net Resources Provided to Supplier Personnel Working On-site |
(a) | “On-site Health Net Resources” means the reasonable office space, furniture, fixtures, telephones, office supplies, and other mutually agreed resources to be provided or made available by Health Net (or its Affiliates) to Supplier Personnel assigned by mutual agreement of the Parties to work on-site at facilities of Health Net (or its Affiliates). |
(b) | Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Health Net will provide to Supplier Personnel located and authorized to work on-site at Health Net Facilities the On-site Health Net Resources reasonably necessary for the Transitioned Employees to continue to perform the Functions that they were providing prior to the Transfer Date; provided however, that: |

(c) | Supplier shall comply and cause Supplier Personnel to comply with Health Net’s Policies regarding access to and use of the On-site Health Net Resources to Supplier, including procedures for the physical and logical security. Health Net may conduct periodic compliance inspections and audits to confirm that Supplier’s use of the On-site Health Net Resources complies with the terms of this Agreement. |
(d) | Supplier will use the On-site Health Net Resources in an efficient manner and for the sole purpose of providing the Services. Supplier will be responsible for damage to the On-site Health Net Resources caused by the negligence or intentional misconduct of Supplier Personnel. When the On-site Health Net Resources are no longer required for performance of the Services, Supplier will return them to Health Net in substantially the same condition as they were in when Supplier began use of them, subject to reasonable wear and tear. |
11.5 | Service Description Update |
(a) | On or before the date that is forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date, Supplier shall provide a plan to Health Net describing Supplier’s proposed approach for conducting a true-up of the Services descriptions to determine if there are any additional Functions that were being performed by the Affected Employees during the twelve (12) months prior to the Effective Date that are not described in the Initial SOWs. Such plan shall be subject to Health Net’s review and approval. |
(b) | Promptly after the BPaaS Services Commencement Date, Supplier shall implement the approved plan described in Section 11.5(a) above. Supplier shall create a list and description of any Functions that are not covered in the Initial SOWs and provide same to Health Net on or before the date that is forty-five (45) days after the BPaaS Services Commencement Date. In assembling such list of omitted Functions, Supplier shall not exclude or delete any Function identified by a Transitioned Employee in connection with such effort. The Initial SOWs shall be updated with any additional Functions and descriptions that the Parties agree were not described in the applicable Initial SOW. There shall be no increase in the Charges as a result of the updating process described in this Section. |

By way of example and not limitation, Health Net’s rights include the right to access the systems used by Supplier to provide the Services in order to access Health Net Data, generate queries, run reports and perform retained Functions. |
(b) | Additional Licenses to Use Certain Software. |
This Section 12.3(b) shall apply to the Initial SOWs and any Future SOWs entered into by the Parties, provided that with respect to any Future SOW, the Parties may mutually agree in writing that this Section 12.3(b) shall not apply to such SOW, provided further that such agreement shall require the written agreement of the Health Net Legal Department.
(i) | Supplier Software |
(A) | Commercially Available Supplier Software |
(1) | With respect to Supplier Provided Software that is Commercially Available Supplier Software, Supplier (on behalf of itself and those Supplier Affiliates that own any such Software) grants to Health Net and its Affiliates (and for the sole purpose of providing services to Health Net, its Affiliates, Former Health Net Affiliates and Service Recipients, to Health Net’s and its Affiliates’ service providers), a license to Use such Software under the then-current license terms made available by Supplier to commercial customers comparable to Health Net in terms of use of the Software, during all Disengagement Assistance Periods for any Service for which such Software is used, and continuing thereafter, provided however that: |
a. | if such then-current terms do not grant Health Net rights to Use such Software in the same manner and for the same purposes it was used under this Agreement, then such license shall be deemed to include such additional rights of Use without additional charge; and |
b. | if Health Net and Supplier have an existing license agreement applicable to such Software, the terms of such license agreement shall apply. |
The foregoing licenses shall be provided at the fees that are ordinarily charged by Supplier to licensees of such Software, for the period after the applicable Disengagement Assistance Periods; provided, however, that if the fees that are ordinarily charged are for a perpetual license and Health Net desires to use such Software for only a limited time period after the applicable Disengagement Assistance Periods, Health Net shall not be required to purchase a perpetual license for such Software (or pay the equivalent of a perpetual license fee).

Supplier represents and warrants that each of the providers of such Health Net Colocation Space (“Colocation Providers”) has consented to such arrangement. |
(c) | If Health Net elects to exercise such option, Health Net shall give written notice to Supplier. Supplier will assign the Colocation Agreement to Health Net or, if Health Net so elects, provide Health Net with reasonable cooperation and support in Health Net’s efforts to procure a replacement agreement with the Colocation Provider for use of such Health Net Colocation Space. |

13. | TRANSITION |
13.1 | Overview |
(a) | This Article 13 (Transition) addresses at a high level the transition of the Functions comprising the Services from Health Net to Supplier. Schedule Z (High-Level Transition Information) provides a consolidated view of Transition across all of the Initial SOWs and, in addition, each of the Initial SOWs contains an exhibit describing the Transition approach and plans for the relevant Service Tower. |
(b) | The Transition approaches, plans and schedules set forth in Schedule Z (High-Level Transition Information) and the Initial SOWs reflect the Parties’ preliminary understanding as to how the Transition will be conducted, but they do not contain the necessary level of detail to serve as executable Transition plans. Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, Supplier will work diligently with Health Net’s team leads for each Service Tower to develop and submit executable Transition plans containing the necessary level of operational detail, as set forth in Section 13.4(b). |
(c) | The Transition will be carried out in sequential phases and discrete ‘waves’ encompassing different Functions and work streams. Some waves are independent from other waves, and some are dependent on the progress and results of other waves. To help ensure that the Transition proceeds smoothly and with minimal disruption to Health Net’s business operations, the Parties will establish and include in the executable Transition plans appropriate ‘check-point gates’ intended to assess and validate the progress of Transition waves at logical points along the way, both to ensure that problems encountered during a Transition wave are resolved before dependent work proceeds and that lessons learned from performance of Transition waves are documented and communicated to the Transition teams working on other waves in order to minimize the recurrence of problems during Transition. |
13.2 | “Transition” Defined |
(a) | “Transition” means the process (and associated time period) of migrating performance of the Services from Health Net or from Health Net’s then-current service provider to Supplier, completing any contemplated movement of services from onshore locations to alternate onshore locations, near shore locations and offshore locations (each as contemplated by the applicable Transition Documents), making any planned improvements to the process and methods and infrastructure used to perform and deliver the Services that are intended to be made during the period of Transition, and causing any required knowledge transfer from Health Net personnel to Supplier Personnel. |
(b) | The Transitions for each of the Initial SOWs (each, an “Initial SOW Transition”) shall commence on the BPaaS Services Commencement Date, and continue through the date that Supplier has assumed all responsibility with respect to the SOW Services covered by the Initial SOWs and completed the transition to the contemplated off-shore service delivery model. The Parties expectation is that Transition will occur over an approximately two (2) year period after the BPaaS Services Commencement Date. |
(c) | The Transition for each Future SOW (each, a “Future SOW Transition”) shall commence on the applicable SOW Effective Date, and continue through the date that Supplier has assumed all responsibility with respect to the SOW Services covered by such Future SOW and completed the transition to the contemplated off-shore service delivery model (if any). |
(d) | The Transition for the Initial SOWs includes the closing of the transaction contemplated by the APA. Health Net and Supplier shall close on such transaction in accordance with the terms of the APA. |
Terms and Conditions | 54 | Health Net / Cognizant Confidential |
Final
13.3 | Transition Changes |
(a) | Given the breadth, complexity and criticality of the Functions being outsourced by Health Net to Supplier under the Initial SOWs, a well-planned, orderly, well-executed Transition is critical to preventing damage to Health Net, its Members, Providers, and employer Groups and to the continued, undisrupted operation of Health Net’s and its Affiliates businesses during the Term. Accordingly, it is agreed and understood that If Health Net determines in good faith that the Transition, or any part of the Transition, poses a meaningful risk or hazard to Health Net’s business interests (a “Transition Risk”), Health Net may request a suspension of or alteration to the Transition (each a “Transition Change”). |
(b) | Upon Supplier receiving a Transition Change request from Health Net: |
(i) | Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Section 13.3, Supplier shall immediately suspend the Transition or those aspects of the Transition that Health Net requests be suspended; and |
(ii) | the Parties’ respective Transition Management Offices shall immediately begin conferring to determine how to implement the Transition Change going forward (i.e., after any suspension) so as to eliminate the Transition Risk in the least disruptive and least costly way, taking into account the risk to Health Net’s business and the financial impact on Supplier, but giving priority to minimizing the risk to Health Net’s business. |
(c) | If the Parties have not reached agreement as to the nature of the Transition Change to be made going forward or the manner in which it is to be made within a reasonable amount of time after Health Net’s sending the notice of Transition Change to Supplier, the dispute shall immediately be escalated to the Executive Council. |
(d) | If the Executive Council has not resolved the disagreement within a reasonable amount of time after referral of the disagreement to the Executive Council, Health Net’s Chief Executive Officer shall have the final say on the nature and manner of the Transition Change, taking into account the risk to Health Net’s business and the financial impact on both Parties, but giving priority to minimizing the risk to Health Net’s business. In all events, Health Net’s Chief Executive Officer must act reasonably and in good faith and shall choose a manner of Transition Change that, all else being equal, seeks to address the Transition Risk in a satisfactory way to Health Net while minimizing the incremental financial burden on Supplier. |
(e) | Supplier will bear financial responsibility for its cost impacts from the Transition Change if the Transition Risk giving rise to the Transition Change met the threshold of posing a meaningful risk or hazard to Health Net’s routine business operations (an “Operational Transition Risk”), except to the extent that such Operational Transition Risk has resulted from the failure by Health Net (including failure by a Health Net contractor, agent or other party for which Health Net is responsible, but excluding Supplier) to perform an express obligation of Health Net under this Agreement. The foregoing allocation of cost, if any, will be subject to Supplier following the procedures outlined in Section 8.3 (Savings Clause). If not, Health Net will bear financial responsibility for Supplier’s cost impacts from the Transition Change. |
Terms and Conditions | 55 | Health Net / Cognizant Confidential |
Final
(f) | If the Executive Council cannot agree on whether (i) the risk threshold stated in Section 13.3(a) has been met, or (ii) Health Net was partially at fault in creating the Transition Risk and, if so, what portion of Supplier’s cost impact is therefore equitably allocable to Health Net, then either Party may refer the disagreement for resolution to a third party subject matter expert (“Mediator”) for non-binding resolution. In order to avoid conflicts of interests, the fees for such Mediator shall be paid for by both Parties equally. The selection of the Mediator shall be approved by at least three (3) members of the Executive Council. Both Parties shall cooperate fully with the Mediator and provide any reasonably requested information as promptly as practicable. The Mediations shall be completed in not more than thirty (30) days. If either Party disagrees with the non-binding resolution(s) proposed by the Mediator, , then such Party may refer the disagreement for resolution via litigation in accordance with Section 26.2 (Litigation); provided, however, that the existence of such disagreement (at any stage) and the mediation process shall not constitute grounds for delaying or altering the Transition Change while the dispute is being resolved if so directed by Health Net. |
(g) | Where possible, all Transition Changes shall be processed via the Change Control Process on an expedited basis, including as an Emergency Change when necessary under the circumstances. |
13.4 | Transition Documents |
(a) | Each Transition shall be conducted in accordance with a written plan and documents (the “Transition Documents”) which shall include: (i) a description of the operations being transitioned; (ii) a general description of the methods and procedures, personnel and organization Supplier will use to perform the Transition; (iii) a schedule of the Transition activities; (iv) a detailed description of the respective roles and responsibilities of Health Net and Supplier; (v) such other information and planning as are necessary to conduct the Transition in accordance with the other terms in this Agreement. |
(i) | A draft of the Transition Documents for the Initial SOWs Transition is attached to the Transition Manual for each SOW as Exhibit A-2 (Transition Description), Exhibit A-2-1 (Transition Project Plan) and Exhibit A-2-2 (Transition Staffing Plan) and Schedule Z (High-Level Transition Information); and |
(ii) | A draft of the Transition Documents for any Future SOW Transition shall be included as part of the applicable Future SOWs as contemplated by Schedule R (SOW Template). |
(b) | Following the Effective Date with respect to the Initial SOW Transitions or the applicable SOW Effective Date for any Future SOW Transition, Supplier shall be responsible for revising and finalizing the applicable Transition Documents, provided that: (i) Supplier shall cooperate and work closely with Health Net in finalizing such Transition Documents (including incorporating Health Net’s reasonable comments); and (B) all changes to such Transition Documents shall be subject to the prior written approval by Health Net. |

agrees in a written agreement with Supplier, Supplier shall be restricted to using such Deliverable solely to provide the Services under this Agreement (each such Deliverable, a “Restricted Use Deliverable”). Health Net shall be obligated to compensate Supplier separately for providing ongoing maintenance and support services for any Restricted Use Deliverable, in a per annum amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) of Supplier’s charges to Health Net for developing the Restricted Use Deliverable, or such other amount as may be agreed in writing between the Parties; provided, however, that Health Net shall have the right to provide written notice to Supplier at any time that Health Net no longer requires that such Deliverable be a Restricted Use Deliverable, in which event Supplier shall thereafter provide maintenance and support for such Restricted Use Deliverable at no additional charge to Health Net for the remainder of the Term and any Disengagement Period. |

(i) | Promptly after an indemnitee receives notice of any Indemnity Claim for which it will seek indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, the indemnitee will notify the indemnitor of the Indemnity Claim in writing (an “Indemnity Notice”). No failure to so notify the indemnitor will abrogate or diminish the indemnitor’s obligations under this Section 23 (Indemnification) if the indemnitor has or receives knowledge of the Indemnity Claim by other means, or if the failure to notify does not materially prejudice its ability to defend the Indemnity Claim, or if the indemnitor does not have the right to defend the Indemnity Claim pursuant to Section 23.4(b)(ii). Within fifteen (15) days after receiving an indemnitee’s Indemnity Notice of an Indemnity Claim, or otherwise obtaining knowledge of the Indemnity Claim, but no later than ten (10) days before the date on which any formal response to the Indemnity Claim is due, the indemnitor will notify the indemnitee in writing (a “Notice of Election”) as to whether: |
(A) | the indemnitor acknowledges its obligation to indemnify and hold the indemnitee harmless with respect to such Indemnity Claim, and |
(B) | with respect to any such Indemnity Claim that is not an Identified Health Net Indemnity Claim (as defined below), the indemnitor elects to assume control of the defense and settlement of the Indemnity Claim. |
(ii) | Each Notice of Election shall be delivered to the indemnitee at the address set forth in Section 27.5 (Notices), as such address may be modified pursuant to such Section. |
(b) | Procedure Following Indemnity Notice. |

With respect to any Indemnity Claim that is not an Identified Health Net Indemnity Claim, if the indemnitor timely (i.e., in accordance with Section 23.4(a)) delivers a Notice of Election that both (1) acknowledges indemnitor’s obligation to indemnify and hold the indemnitee harmless with respect to such Indemnity Claim, and (2) includes an express election to assume control of the defense and settlement of such Indemnity Claim, then:
(A) | the indemnitor will be entitled to have sole control over the defense and settlement of such Indemnity Claim; provided that the indemnitee shall have the right to approve: |
(1) | the legal counsel selected by the indemnitor, and |
(2) | in the indemnitee’s sole discretion, any settlement (or portion thereof) that is not a monetary settlement, including settlements involving injunctive relief; and |
(B) | the indemnitor will not be required to reimburse the indemnitee for (1) any legal expenses incurred by the indemnitee in defending or settling such Indemnity Claim after the indemnitee’s receipt of such Notice of Election unless reasonable and necessary (e.g., costs incurred prior to receipt of the Indemnitor’s Notice of Election), or (2) any amounts paid or payable by the indemnitee in settlement of such Indemnity Claim after the indemnitee’s receipt of such Notice of Election if the settlement was agreed to without the written consent of the indemnitor. |

(A) | An “Identified Health Net Indemnity Claim” means any of the following Indemnity Claims brought against Health Net with respect to which Health Net expressly elects to retain control of the defense and settlement in its written Indemnity Notice to Supplier pursuant to Section 23.4(a) (or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter so long as such notice is given by Health Net prior to receipt of Supplier’s Notice of Election pursuant to Section 23.4(a)), and for which Health Net indicates in such Indemnity Notice that Health Net will seek indemnification from Supplier pursuant to this Agreement: |
(1) | any Indemnity Claim brought by a governmental or regulatory entity (a “Public Indemnity Claim”); and |
(2) | any Indemnity Claim brought by a private party that is based on the same events that also resulted in a Public Indemnity Claim being brought against Health Net, and where adjudication of the private party Indemnity Claim or some part of it may result in collateral estoppel with respect to a material issue of the Public Indemnity Claim. |
(B) | With respect to any Identified Health Net Indemnity Claim, if Supplier timely (i.e., in accordance with Section 23.4(a)) delivers a Notice of Election acknowledging its obligation to indemnify and hold Health Net harmless with respect to such Identified Health Net Indemnity Claim, then: |
(1) | Health Net will be entitled to have sole control over the defense and settlement of such Identified Health Net Indemnity Claim at the cost and expense of Supplier, including payment of any settlement, judgment or award and the reasonable costs of defending or settling such Identified Health Net Indemnity Claim; provided that in the event of a settlement by Health Net, Supplier shall only be obligated to reimburse Health Net for reasonable amounts paid or payable by Health Net in settlement of such Identified Health Net Indemnity Claim (the reasonableness of such amount determined by taking into consideration all of the facts and circumstances relating to such Identified Health Net Indemnity Claim, including reputational risks to Health Net, the potential for the Identified Health Net Indemnity Claim to cause adverse impacts to Health Net’s business or operations, and costs incurred by Health Net as a result of or in connection with such Identified Health Net Indemnity Claim); and |

(3) | in the event that Health Net rejects any settlement offer with respect to an Identified Health Net Indemnity Claim (over Supplier’s written objection, assuming Health Net has complied with its obligations under Section 23.4(b)(ii)(B)(2) above) and later settles such Identified Health Net Indemnity Claim for an amount exceeding any rejected settlement offer, or has a judgment entered against it with respect to such Identified Health Net Indemnity Claim for an amount exceeding any rejected settlement offer, then Supplier will be responsible only for reimbursing Health Net for the lesser of (a) the lowest rejected settlement offer with respect to such Identified Health Net Indemnity Claim; or (b) the reasonable amounts paid or payable by Health Net in settlement of such Identified Health Net Indemnity Claim, considering the factors described in Section 23.4(b)(ii)(B)(1) above; and |
(4) | subject to the limitations described in Sections 23.4(b)(ii)(B)(1) and 23.4(b)(ii)(B)(3) above, Supplier will promptly reimburse Health Net upon demand for all Losses suffered or incurred by Health Net as a result of or in connection with such Identified Health Net Indemnity Claim; and |
(5) | in the event of a dispute between the Parties as to the reasonableness of the amount of a settlement that Health Net approves or the reasonableness of costs, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, of defending the Identified Health Net Indemnity Claim, (i) Supplier shall reimburse Health Net for that portion of the settlement or defense costs that it believes in good faith to be a reasonable amount, and (ii) the Parties agree to use the arbitration process described in Section 23.4(e) below to resolve any dispute relating to the reasonableness of the difference between the actual amount of the settlement that Health Net approves or the defense costs that Health Net incurs and the amount that Supplier reimbursed Health Net pursuant to item (i). |
(c) | Procedure Where No Proper Notice of Election Is Delivered (Applicable to all Indemnity Claims including, for clarity, Identified Health Net Indemnity Claims). |
If the indemnitor does not deliver a timely (i.e., in accordance with Section 23.4(a)) Notice of Election that both (i) acknowledges its obligation to indemnify and hold the indemnitee harmless with respect to the Indemnity Claim, and (ii) in the case of any Indemnity Claim

that is not an Identified Health Net Indemnity Claim, includes an express election by the indemnitor to assume control of the defense and settlement of the Indemnity Claim, then the indemnitee may defend and/or settle the Indemnity Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate at the cost and expense of the indemnitor, including payment of any settlement, judgment or award and the costs of defending or settling the Indemnity Claim. The indemnitor will promptly reimburse the indemnitee upon demand for all Losses suffered or incurred by the indemnitee as a result of or in connection with the Indemnity Claim.
(d) | Cooperation regarding Indemnity Claims. The indemnitor and the indemnitee shall provide reasonable cooperation with one another in connection with the defense and resolution of any Indemnity Claim, provided that any costs incurred by the indemnitee in connection with such cooperation shall be borne by the indemnitor, and shall be promptly reimbursed by the indemnitor upon demand from the indemnitee. |
(e) | Arbitration of Disputed Settlement Amounts. |
(i) | A dispute between the Parties as described in Section 23.4(b)(ii)(B)(5) above shall be finally settled by mandatory and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its then-effective Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”). One (1) arbitrator shall be appointed in accordance with the Rules. Either Party may initiate arbitration by submitting a written request for arbitration to the AAA and the other Party, setting forth in reasonable detail the subject of the dispute and the relief requested. |
(ii) | The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Rules, provided that to the extent this Section 23.4(e) modifies, supplements or is inconsistent with the Rules, this Section 23.4(e) will govern. The arbitrator shall have no power or authority to amend or disregard any provision of this Section 23.4(e) or any other provision of this Agreement. The arbitration hearing shall be commenced promptly and conducted expeditiously, with each Party being allocated one-half of the time for the presentation of its case. |
(iii) | Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, arbitration hearings hereunder shall be held in Los Angeles, California. The language of the arbitration shall be English. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, an arbitration hearing shall be conducted on consecutive days. The Parties will participate in the arbitration in good faith, and will share equally in the administrative costs of the arbitration; provided however, that each Party will pay its own attorneys’ fees (subject to the next sentence). The arbitrator may, in his or her discretion, award the prevailing Party its attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket expenses, including its share of the arbitration fees. |
(iv) | Recognizing the express desire of the Parties for an expeditious means of dispute resolution, (A) each Party will, upon the written request of the other Party, promptly provide the other with copies of documents relevant to the issues raised by the dispute, and (B) there will be no depositions. |
(v) | The award shall be made within thirty (30) days of the filing of the notice of intention to arbitrate (demand), and the arbitrator shall agree to comply with this schedule before accepting appointment. However, this time limit may be extended by agreement of the Parties or by the arbitrator if necessary. |

(vi) | The arbitration shall be conducted as follows: |
(A) | Each Party shall submit to the arbitrator and exchange with each other not less than seven (7) days prior to the scheduled hearing date their last, best offers, along with a brief and documentation in support of their offer. The arbitrator shall have the authority to limit the length of such submissions. |
(B) | The arbitration hearing shall not exceed eight (8) hours and may be less if the arbitrator decides that less time is required. |
(C) | The arbitrator shall be limited to awarding only one or the other of the two figures submitted. The arbitrator shall not have the option of deciding upon a resolution that reflects a compromise between (or is outside of) the Parties’ respective proposed resolutions. For example, if the amount that Health Net demands from Supplier (above any amounts already reimbursed by Supplier pursuant to Section 23.4(b)(ii)(B)(5)(i) above) as its last, best offer is $250,000, and Supplier has proposed to reimburse Health Net an additional $150,000 as its last, best offer, the arbitrator shall determine which of the two proposals (i.e., $250,000 or $150,000) is more appropriate and may not select an amount somewhere between (or outside of) the two proposals. |
(vii) | The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on the Parties, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. |
(viii) | The arbitrator is instructed that time is of the essence in the arbitration proceeding. |

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the cap set forth in this Section 24.2(e) shall not apply to the extent that the TPUSA-caused event giving rise to liability is the result of Supplier’s failure to properly manage (i) TPUSA or (ii) the Services performed by TPUSA.

(vii) | Costs of implementing a workaround in respect to a failure to perform the Services at all or in accordance with this Agreement; |
(viii) | Costs and expenses incurred by Health Net to acquire and have performed substitute services conforming to this Agreement in place of any Services Supplier fails to provide at all or in accordance with this Agreement; |

(xi) | Identity-Related Costs incurred by Health Net, except to the extent that Supplier is able to demonstrate that a Security Breach was caused by Health Net’s negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement, and |
(xii) | Damages arising out of a breach by Supplier of its obligations under Section 3.6 Schedule E (Transitioned Employees) with respect to the retention of Personnel Groups of Transitioned Personnel, |
provided, however, that nothing in this Section 24.2(f) shall limit Supplier’s obligations or liability under Section 23.1 (Indemnification by Supplier) above.
Each Party shall pay to the other Party upon request of such other Party any amount for which it is responsible under Sections 24.2(f)(ii). 24.2(f)(iii), 24.2(f)(iv), 24.2(f)(v) and 24.2(f)(xi) .

(h) | Each Party has a duty to mitigate the damages suffered by it for which the other Party is or may be liable. |
24.3 | Force Majeure |

(b) | In such event the non-performing Party will be excused from further performance or observance of the obligations so affected for as long as such circumstances prevail and such Party continues to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to recommence performance or observance without delay. Any Party so delayed in its performance will immediately notify the Party to whom performance is due by telephone (to be confirmed in writing within twenty-four (24) hours of the inception of such delay) and describe at a reasonable level of detail the circumstances causing such delay. To the extent the provision of the Services or any part thereof is prevented or materially affected by a Force Majeure Event, Health Net’s obligation to pay Charges hereunder shall accordingly be reduced by an equitable amount (which in the case of total suspension of the Services would be an amount equal to the total charges hereunder for the period of suspension). |
Terms and Conditions | 110 | Health Net / Cognizant Confidential |
Final
(c) | If any event under Section 24.3(a) substantially prevents, hinders or delays performance of the Services, then Supplier shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to identify another Supplier location from which it might provide the Services without interference from such event, and if Health Net requests, Supplier shall assist Health Net in identifying an alternate source that may be able to provide the Services to Health Net during the time of such Force Majeure Event. If any event under Section 24.3(a) substantially prevents, hinders or delays performance of the Services necessary for the performance of functions reasonably identified by Health Net as critical for more than five (5) consecutive business days, then at Health Net’s option: (i) Health Net may procure such Services from an alternate source, and in such event Supplier will reimburse Health Net for one-half of the difference between (A) the amount Health Net is obligated to pay the alternate source for such services, and (B) the amount that Health Net would have paid Supplier for such Services under this Agreement, for a period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days; (ii) Health Net may terminate any portion of this Agreement (including a SOW or a portion of a SOW) so affected without charge to Health Net or liability to Supplier and the Charges payable under this Agreement will be equitably adjusted to reflect those terminated Services; or (iii) Health Net may terminate this Agreement, without charge to Health Net or liability to Supplier, as of a date specified by Health Net in a written notice of termination to Supplier. Supplier will not have the right to any additional payments from Health Net for costs or expenses incurred by Supplier as a result of any Force Majeure Event. |
(d) | A Force Majeure Event will not relieve Supplier of its obligations to implement successfully all of the Services relating to disaster recovery services that are included in this Agreement within the time period described in this Agreement. |

Each Party will, at the request of the other Party, perform those actions, including executing additional documents and instruments, reasonably necessary to give full effect to this Agreement.

25.14 | Reading Down |
If a provision of this Agreement is reasonably capable of an interpretation which would make that provision valid, lawful and enforceable and an alternative interpretation that would make it unenforceable, illegal, invalid or void then, so far as is possible, that provision will be interpreted or construed to be limited and read down to the extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.
26. | DISPUTE RESOLUTION |
Any dispute between the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including with respect to the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement or with respect to performance by Supplier or Health Net, will be resolved as provided in this Section 26 (Dispute Resolution).
26.1 | Informal Dispute Resolution |
(a) | Subject to Section 26.1(b), the Parties initially will attempt to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement informally in accordance with the following: |
(i) | Within ten (10) days after a Party receives notice of a dispute from the other Party (“Dispute Date”), it will designate a senior representative (i.e., a person whose rank within the company is superior to, in the case of Supplier, the Client Partner, and in the case of Health Net, the Health Net Program Manager) who does not devote substantially all of his time to performance under this Agreement, who will offer to meet with the designated senior representative of the other Party for the purpose of attempting to resolve the dispute amicably. |
(ii) | The appointed representatives will meet promptly to discuss the dispute and attempt to resolve it without the necessity of any formal proceeding. They will meet as often as the Parties deem necessary in order that each Party may be fully advised of the other’s position. During the course of discussion, all reasonable requests made by one Party to the other for non-privileged information reasonably related to the matters in dispute will be honored promptly. |
(iii) | The specific format for the discussions will be left to the discretion of the appointed representatives. |
(b) | Formal dispute resolution may be commenced by a Party upon the first to occur of any of the following: |
(i) | the appointed representatives conclude in good faith that amicable resolution of the dispute through continued negotiation does not appear likely; |
(ii) | thirty-five (35) days have passed from the Dispute Date (this period will be deemed to run notwithstanding any claim that the process described in this Section 26.1 (Informal Dispute Resolution) was not followed or completed); or |
(iii) | commencement of formal dispute resolution is deemed appropriate by a Party to avoid the expiration of an applicable limitations period or to preserve a superior position with respect to other creditors, or a Party makes a good faith determination, including as provided in Section 26.4 (Equitable Remedies), that a breach of this Agreement by the other Party is such that a temporary restraining order or other injunctive or conservatory relief is necessary. |
Terms and Conditions | 114 | Health Net / Cognizant Confidential |
Final
(c) | All timeframes specified in this Section 26.1 are not-to-exceed durations. In the event of disputes related to compliance with Laws, Health Net may request (and Supplier shall use all best efforts to comply with) shorter timeframes as needed in order for Health Net to respond to any Regulator or regulatory deadlines. |
26.2 | Litigation |
For all litigation which may arise with respect this Agreement, the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit (a) to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue (and waive any claim of forum non conveniens and any objections as to laying of venue) of the United States District Court for the Central District of California, or (b) if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, to the Superior Court of the State of California, Los Angeles County in connection with any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. The Parties further consent to the jurisdiction of any state court located within a district that encompasses assets of a Party against which a judgment has been rendered for the enforcement of such judgment or award against the assets of such Party.
26.3 | Continued Performance |
Each Party agrees (a) to continue performing its obligations under this Agreement while a dispute is being resolved except (and then only) to the extent performance is prevented by the other Party or the issue in dispute precludes performance, and (b) not to take any action that intentionally obstructs, delays, or reduces in any way the performance of such obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, a good faith dispute regarding invoiced charges and Health Net’s withholding payment of disputed charges as permitted under this Agreement will not be considered to prevent Supplier from performing the Services or preclude performance by Supplier, nor will this Section 26.3 be interpreted to limit either Party’s right to terminate this Agreement (in whole or in part) or any SOW (in whole or in part) as provided in Section 16 (Termination).
26.4 | Equitable Remedies |
Each Party acknowledges that a breach of any of its obligations under the Sections of this Agreement listed below, or its infringement or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property Rights of the other Party, may irreparably harm the other Party in a way that could not be adequately compensated by money damages. In such a circumstance, the aggrieved Party may (in addition to all other remedies and rights) proceed directly to court notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 26 (Dispute Resolution). If a court of competent jurisdiction should find that a Party has breached (or attempted or threatened to breach) any such obligations, such Party agrees that without posting bond or proving damages and without any additional findings of irreparable injury or other conditions to injunctive relief, it will not oppose the entry of an appropriate order compelling its performance of such obligations and restraining it from any further breaches (or attempted or threatened breaches) of such obligations.

7.1 | Infrastructure (ITO) Strategy |
As part of the BCP Plan, Supplier will provide a fallback strategy to manage disruptions affecting delivery locations. The fallback strategy that we will deploy for Health Net is given below:
Schedule A-1-1 | A-1-1-14 | Health Net / Cognizant Confidential |
Final
Supplier has a multi-site presence in each location as well as a multi-location presence so that each site / location acts as a fall—back to the other with respect to infrastructure.
In India, the delivery centers Coimbatore and Bangalore will be fallback locations for each other. Systems for HA/DR includes Power, WAN—Connectivity Inter-City and Health Net locations, Internet Connectivity, Metro Ethernet—Connectivity to multiple facilities within the city. Supplier will strategically plan Onsite team presence to effectively respond to disruptions and meet their recovery objectives. Both the Offshore delivery centers are geographically separated by two hundred (200) miles (of reach).
Onsite support for both Federal and commercial will be delivered from Health Net office at Rancho Xxxxxxx and AeroJet, for example, will be fall back locations for each other based on Health Net’s approval and availability of office space.
Bangalore and Coimbatore are the two offshore delivery locations identified for Health Net. Both the offshore locations have Health Net skilled resources working on various technologies. In case of BCP/DR situation both locations will cover each other respectively.
At Manila, Cebu is a service desk ready location and operations can start immediately once BCP/DR is invoked and has all the required resources and skills for service desk function.
Supplier has flexi resources at their delivery centers worldwide. These can be deployed quickly during the BCP/DR situation. All these resources are technically skilled covering wide spectrum of technologies including niche skills

The BPS strategy involves the restoration of normal business operations after an unexpected event which has disrupted all or part of the business process. From a Business perspective, this is the most critical phase of the whole BCP.
The BPS strategy will either follow directly the Infrastructure recovery phase or will be directly initiated after a serious emergency incident affecting normal business operations depending upon the disaster impact.
Supplier’s BCP approach is be based on the RTO and RPO (refer Schedule A-1-1-2) and
Application Criticality (refer Schedule A-1-1-3).
When implemented, the BCP/DR plan will establish availability of employees, and workspace with the required technology and network access to carry out the designated assignments, within the proposed recovery plan and time frames
Supplier’s multi location delivery organization provides a first level of BCP/ DR of about fifty percent (50%), wherever the in-scope processes provide minimal scale and scope to have operations to be distributed equally in two different cities. For such processes, in the event of a complete facility-level outage at any of the one location, fifty percent (50%) of the business remains unaffected on account of being in a different city.
After completion of Phase 2, processes that are transactional in nature (excludes roles like Business Analysts, Business System Analyst and Project Management) and delivered from a single location, For all critical processes performed at the primary site, Supplier will create a
Schedule A-1-1 | A-1-1-15 | Health Net / Cognizant Confidential |
Final
minimum of twenty-five percent (25%) BCP capacity by cross training resources with similar skills and expertise at alternate locations The actual availability of the seats during an outage will also be determined by the severity of the event, and the actual BCP/ DR plan prepared during the start of the engagement will fully cover these aspects
During the transition planning phase Supplier will identify critical processes within the critical Business Functions which will be prioritized over other processes, subject to a cap of the maximum available BCP capacity in the back up location.
Please refer to Schedule F (Supplier Facilities) for identified critical Business Functions by Delivery locations.
8. | BUSINESS RESUMPTION PROCESS |
Once the disaster recovery has taken place the business continues in the alternate site. However, it should be noted that the business should resume from the home site since the alternate site is for a disaster elapsed period only. The alternative site will be available / utilized until the move to the home site is completed.
For returning back to home site, the following should be planned to ensure the business operations are not disturbed:
8.1 | Infrastructure Set-Up or Recovery |
For Health Net ITO outage, the infrastructure recovery will be executed per the RTO, RPO guidelines defined in Schedule A-1-1-2. Regular updates will be provided to Health Net and its impacted Business Functions until the business functions are restored.
For Supplier location specific infrastructure outage, Supplier’s corporate BCP plan will be executed for restoration.
8.2 | Business Functions/Projects Recovery |
It will be the responsibility of functional tower units to take care of migration of their units into the home site(s) as part of the business resumption process. They will be supporting the projects move into the home site by coordinating with respective project managers.
The order of business services that need to be restored will be per the tier guidelines defined in Schedule A-1-1-3.
9. | BCP TESTING PROCESS |

(e) | If any portion of the Services are to be provided from a business continuity recovery environment, the Service Levels shall continue to apply; except to the extent a disaster occurring at a Health Net facility prevents Supplier from meeting such Service Levels. |
4.2 | Service Level Codes/Setting of Initial Operational Service Levels |
For each of the Operational Service Levels set forth in Schedules B-1 (Certain Service Levels) and Exhibit B-1 to each SOW, a corresponding code has been designated in the ““Code”” column of the applicable table, as follows:
(a) | Code ““A””—For each Service Level metric for which “”A”” is designated as the applicable code, then as of the BPaaS Services Commencement Date, the Service Level shall be the Service Level set forth on the applicable Schedule or Exhibit (“Code A”). |
(b) | Code ““B””—For each Service Level metric for which ““B”” is designated as the applicable code, the Service Level which shall be in effect on the BPaaS Services Commencement Date shall be established based on the following process (“Code B”): |
(i) | The Service Level metric will be established based on Health Net’s performance of the Services during the last six (6) months of 2014 (the ““Code B Baselining Period””). |
(ii) | Immediately following the Code B Baselining Period, the Service Level for such Code B Service Level will be promptly established and shall be effective on the BPaaS Services Commencement Date. Such metric shall be the arithmetic mean of the baselined data collected during the Code B Baselining Period. |
(iii) | Notwithstanding the above, if the baselined data demonstrates performance that is unsatisfactory to Health Net, then (A) Health Net may rely on the continuous improvement provision set forth in Section 5.5 to improve the Service Level, or (B) upon Health Net’s request, Supplier will promptly develop a plan to improve performance and the Parties will meet to establish a mutually agreeable Service Level. The implementation of the plan to improve the Service Level shall be done pursuant to the Change Control Process. |
Schedule B | B-7 | Health Net / Cognizant Confidential |
Final
(c) | Code ““C””—For each Service Level metric for which ““C”” is designated as the applicable code, the Service Level which shall be in effect on the BPaaS Services Commencement Date (or thereafter if necessary to gather additional data as described below) shall be established based on the following process (“Code C”): |
(i) | The Service Level metric will be established based on Health Net’s performance of the Services commencing at such time as Health Net is able to start measurement of the Service Level, and continuing for six (6) months (the ““Code C Baselining Period””). Under this approach, the Code C Baselining Period will be six (6) months, and may be comprised of performance based on any of the possible scenarios: |
(A) | Health Net’s performance only (for example if Health Net begins measuring the Service Level in September 2014 and ends in February 2015, thereby resulting in six (6) months of measurement), or |
(B) | a combination of Health Net and Supplier performance (for example, if Health Net begins measuring the Service Level in October 2014, and the BPaaS Commencement Date is March 1, 2015, thereby resulting in five (5) months of measurement under Health Net’s performance of the Services and one (1) month of Supplier’s performance of the Services), or |
(C) | all under Supplier (for example if Health Net is not able to start measurement prior to the BPaaS Services Commencement Date, in which event Supplier shall commence measurement upon the BPaaS Services Commencement Date, unless Health Net requests otherwise). |
(ii) | Immediately following the Code C Baselining Period, the Service Level for such Code C Service Level will be promptly established and shall be effective as of the completion of the Code C Baselining Period (or as soon thereafter as Health Net requests). Such metric shall be the arithmetic mean of the baselined data collected during the Code B Baselining Period. |
(iii) | Notwithstanding the above, if the baselined data demonstrates performance that is unsatisfactory to Health Net, then (A) Health Net may rely on the continuous improvement provision set forth in Section 5.5 to improve the Service Level, or (B) upon Health Net’s request, Supplier will promptly develop a plan to improve performance and the Parties will meet to establish a mutually agreeable Service Level. The implementation of the plan to improve the Service Level shall be done pursuant to the Change Control Process. |
(d) | Supplier shall use all Commercially Reasonable Efforts to achieve the highest possible Service Levels during any portion of the foregoing Baselining Periods which measure Supplier’s performance of the Services. |
4.3 | Failure to Perform |
(a) | For each Service Level Failure and Compliance Measure Failure, Supplier shall (i) investigate, assemble and preserve pertinent information with respect to, and report on the causes of, the problem, including performing a root cause analysis of the problem; (ii) |
Schedule B | B-8 | Health Net / Cognizant Confidential |
Final
advise Health Net, as and to the extent requested by Health Net, of the status of remedial efforts being undertaken with respect to such problem; (iii) minimize the impact of and correct the problem and begin meeting the Service Level; and (iv) take appropriate preventive measures so that the problem does not recur. |
(b) | Supplier recognizes that a Critical Service Level Failure may have a material adverse impact on the business and operations of Health Net and that the damages from a Critical Service Level Failure are not susceptible to precise determination. Accordingly, unless otherwise excused pursuant to Section 4.4: |
(i) | In the event of a Critical Operational Service Level Failure, Supplier shall pay to Health Net a credit calculated pursuant to Section 4.5 (“Operational Service Level Credit”); and |
(ii) | In the event of a Critical Compliance Service Level Failure , Supplier shall pay to Health Net a credit calculated pursuant to Section 4.5 (“Compliance Service Level Credit”); and |
(iii) | In the event of a Performance Group Guarantee Service Level Failure, then Supplier shall pay to Health Net an amount calculated pursuant to Section 4.6 (“Performance Guarantee Group Payment Amount”); and |
(iv) | In the event of a Critical Stakeholder Satisfaction Survey Service Level Failures, Supplier shall pay to Health Net a credit calculated pursuant to Section 4.7 (“Stakeholder Satisfaction Survey Credit”). |
(c) | For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that Supplier is obligated to grant to Health Net any Operational Service Level Credit, Compliance Service Level Credit, Performance Guarantee Group Payment Amount, or Stakeholder Satisfaction Survey Credit, the obligation for Supplier to pay such credits and amounts are separate and independent obligations of Supplier. |
(d) | Performance Payments will not be construed as a penalty or as liquidated damages for a Critical Service Level Failure and, accordingly, they will not be deemed to constitute Health Net’s remedy, exclusive or otherwise, for any actual damages caused by a Critical Service Level Failure. Performance Payments will be in addition to any other monetary and non-monetary remedies available to Health Net under this Agreement, at law, or in equity with respect to a Critical Service Level Failure or the events that result in a Critical Service Level Failure, including Health Net’s right to either before or after receiving any particular Performance Payment, make a claim for damages against Supplier arising out of the Critical Service Level Failure; provided, however, that if Health Net had previously received any Performance Payment as a result of such failure, then the amount of damages then recoverable by Health Net shall equal (i) the total amount of damages then recoverable under this Agreement and incurred by Health Net with respect to such failure, without consideration of whether any Performance Payment resulting from such failure had been provided to Health Net; less (ii) any Performance Payment previously provided to Health Net resulting from such failure. |
(e) | This Section 4.3 shall not limit Health Net’s rights with respect to the events upon which Health Net may rely as a basis for Health Net’s termination of this Agreement. |

4.4 | Excused Critical Service Level Failures |
(a) | If Supplier fails to meet a Service Level and establishes within two (2) months after such failure that each of the following criteria are satisfied: |
(i) | the root cause of Supplier’s failure to meet such Service Level was caused by: |
(A) | the failure of Health Net, Health Net’s Affiliates or Health Net’s third party contractors or agents (other than Supplier or Supplier’s subcontractors) to perform an express obligation of Health Net under this Agreement; provided that upon becoming aware of such failure, Supplier provided Health Net with reasonable notice of such failure and used Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform and achieve the Service Level notwithstanding the occurrence and impact of such actions, or |
(B) | a Force Majeure Event under Section 24.3 of the Terms and Conditions; provided that Supplier fulfilled the obligations set forth in Section 24.3(b) of the Terms and Conditions |
(each an “Excusable Critical Service Level Failure Event”);
(ii) | Supplier would have achieved such Service Level but for such Excusable Critical Service Level Failure Event; and |
(iii) | Supplier is without material fault in causing such Excusable Critical Service Level Failure Event, |
then Supplier shall not be obligated to pay the Service Level Credit for any resulting Critical Service Level Failure, and Supplier shall otherwise be excused from achieving such Service Level for as long as such Excusable Critical Service Level Failure Event continues and Supplier continues to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to prevent, overcome, and mitigate the adverse effects of such Excusable Critical Service Level Failure Event to the extent required to achieve the applicable Service Level.
(b) | Supplier shall not be excused from a failure to achieve a Service Level other than under this Section 4.4, or as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement. |
4.5 | Operational Service Level Credits and Compliance Service Level Credits |
(a) | Calculation. For each Critical Operational Service Level Failure and Critical Compliance Service Level Failure, the applicable Service Level Credits referenced in Sections 4.3(b)(i) and 4.3(b)(ii) above shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula: |
Service Level Credit = A x B x C
Where:
A = the applicable Weighting Factor;
B = (i) the BPaaS Amount at Risk for such calendar month for all Service Levels except the Non-BPaaS IT Service Levels, or (ii) the Non-BPaaS Amount at Risk for Non-PBaaS

Health Net may at any time during the Term, in its sole discretion upon written notice to Supplier, delete a then-existing Service Level.
5.2 | New Operational Service Levels |
Health Net may, in its sole discretion upon written notice to Supplier, add a new Operational Service Level. Any additions with respect to Operational Service Levels shall be subject to the following:
(a) | If Health Net adds a new Service Level for which there is at least ***of historical data within the past ***and such data indicates performance that is acceptable to Health Net, then the Service Level metric shall be the arithmetic mean of the most recent three (3) months of historical data. For example, if the three (3) months of historical data are 99.90%, 99.92%, and 99.95%, then the Service Level would be the arithmetic mean (99.923%) (calculated as ((99.90% + 99.92% + 99.95%) / 3). Such Service Level shall become effective as of a date determined by Health Net, but no earlier than thirty (30) days after written notice from Health Net. |
(b) | If Health Net adds a new Service Level for which there is at least ***of historical data within the past***, but such data does not indicate performance that is acceptable to Health Net, then, upon Health Net’s written request, Supplier will perform an assessment of the root causes of the unacceptable level of historical performance and seek to improve performance within sixty (60) days. |
(i) | At the end of such sixty (60) day period, if Health Net reasonably determines that Supplier’s performance is below an acceptable level (e.g., by reference to industry standards), then Supplier *** to improve its performance of the affected Services to a level of service acceptable to Health Net. |
(ii) | At the end of such***, if Health Net determines that Supplier’s performance is at an acceptable level, then the Service Level metric shall be determined in accordance with Section 5.2(a). |
(c) | If Health Net adds a new Service Level for which at least ***of historical data within the past ***does not exist, then such Service Level shall be baselined in accordance with the following: |
(i) | Supplier and Health Net shall promptly meet to agree upon the tools and procedures to be used to measure such new Service Level. Upon such agreement, Supplier or Health Net, as applicable, shall promptly implement such agreed upon tools and/or procedures and begin measuring the new Service Level. |

5.5 | Continuous Improvement |
(a) | In addition to any improvements in Service Levels resulting from application of the review processes described in Section 5.6, then, with respect to the Service Levels described in Section 5.5(c), on the first anniversary of the Effective Date and annually thereafter on each subsequent anniversary of the Effective Date, each Service Level shall be automatically adjusted by adding to the then-current Service Level being adjusted a sum equal to five percent (5%) of the difference between the level of perfect performance (e.g., 100% Availability) and the then-current Service Level. For example, if the Service Level being adjusted were 99.0%, the increase would be 0.05% (i.e., from 99.0% to 99.05%), calculated as ((100.0%-99.0%) x 0.05 = 0.05%). |
(b) | The improvements to the Service Levels made pursuant to Section 5.5(a) above shall be capped at a maximum metric of ***%. |
(c) | The continuous improvement process of this Section 5.5 shall apply to all Service Levels for which continuous improvement is noted on Schedule A-1 (Initial SOWs Cross Functional Solution Description), B-1 (Certain Service Levels) or the Exhibit B-1s to each SOW. |
(d) | The Parties agree that for purposes of computing continuous improvement for the Abandon Rate Service Level, “perfect performance” as used in Section 5.5(a) shall be deemed to be zero (0) percent. Continuous improvement shall apply to the Abandon Rate Service Level, provided that the maximum improvement is as set forth in the right hand column (under “New SLA”) in the table below: |

5.6 | Quarterly Meeting to Adjust Service Levels |
Health Net and Supplier will meet to review the Service Levels on a quarterly basis to discuss the Service Levels and will make adjustments to the Service Levels as appropriate to reflect improved performance capabilities associated with advances in technology, processes, methods and tools. As new technologies, processes methods and tools are introduced, additional Service Levels reflecting industry best practices for those technologies and processes will be established by the Parties.
6. | STAKEHOLDER SATISFACTION SURVEY |
Both as a management feedback tool and in an effort to help ensure that Supplier’s performance of the Services achieves Health Net’s objectives set forth in the Agreement, Health Net will assess key Health Net’s key stakeholders’ satisfaction of Supplier, taking into consideration the strategic direction and objectives of the relationship, using the methodology set forth below:
(a) | The Stakeholder Satisfaction Survey is attached hereto as Schedule B-4 (“Stakeholder Satisfaction Survey”). Health Net has the right, from time to time during the Term, to modify the Stakeholder Satisfaction Survey in its sole discretion, upon notice to Supplier. |
(b) | No later than first quarter after the BPaaS Services Commencement Date and quarterly thereafter, Health Net shall administer the Stakeholder Satisfaction Survey (in its then-current form). |
(c) | Health Net shall administer the Stakeholder Satisfaction Survey to no fewer than ten (10) and no more than twenty (20) key stakeholders within the Health Net organization (as will be identified by Health Net in advance of each Stakeholder Satisfaction Survey). Prior to each Stakeholder Satisfaction Survey, the Parties will jointly inform and educate the key stakeholders taking such survey about the questions, criteria, metrics, credit assessment, and goals of the Stakeholder Satisfaction Survey. The Stakeholder Satisfaction Survey shall be scored and the results of such scoring shall be as follows: |
(i) | Each key stakeholder completing the Stakeholder Satisfaction Survey shall provide an overall score, which shall range between 1.0 (poor) and 5.0 (excellent). The score from each key stakeholder will be averaged to calculate the aggregate Stakeholder Satisfaction Survey score (the “Score”). |
(ii) | If the Score for any category is less than 3.0, then the Parties shall meet to discuss the reason(s) for such Score. Within thirty (30) days of the administration of the applicable Stakeholder Satisfaction Survey, Supplier shall be required to develop a plan (“Remediation Plan”) designed to improve Supplier’s performance and Score. The Remediation Plan is subject to Health Net’s approval and Supplier shall promptly implement the Health Net-approved Remediation Plan; and |

7. | OTHER TERMS |
7.1 | Changes to Service Levels via Change Control |
If Health Net requests, Supplier to implement a new Service Level at a particular level and the Parties agree upon the payment amount for such new Service Level, then baselining shall not be required, notwithstanding Section 5.2 or any other Section hereof.
7.2 | Comparable Critical Service Levels and Performance Guarantee Group Service Levels |
For the avoidance of doubt, the determination of whether Supplier has met or failed to meet any Critical Service Level shall be made without regard to whether Supplier has met or failed to meet any Performance Guarantee Group Service Level that is comparable to, but less demanding than, such Critical Service Level; similarly, the determination of whether Supplier has met or failed to meet any Performance Guarantee Group Service Level shall be made without regard to whether Supplier has met or failed to meet any Critical Service Level that is comparable to, but less demanding than, such Performance Guarantee Group Service Level.

As part of the Contract Governance Plan, the Parties will set up the governance meetings (“Governance Meetings”) listed in Schedule G-2 (Committee and Meeting Framework).

Final
(b) | Schedule A of the Agreement and each Statement of Work addresses the Supplier’s responsibilities to provide operational reporting as an integral part of the Services to be provided under this Agreement. This Schedule G (Governance) addresses Supplier’s responsibilities with respect to “Management Reporting,” which means reporting by Supplier to Health Net management and external entities, such as Regulators, with respect to the Functions outsourced to Supplier, in order to provide them with the requisite visibility into the relevant aspects of Health Net’s business. Management Reporting includes any reporting required by Regulators or applicable Laws. The Parties have prepared a preliminary list of the Management Reporting to be provided by Supplier to Health Net on an ongoing basis, which is set forth in Schedule G-3 (Management Reports). Supplier will deliver all reports listed in Schedule G-3 (Management Reports) at no additional charge to Health Net. If it is determined that any report listed in Schedule G-3 (Management Reports) is not yet being generated by Health Net as of the BPaaS Services Commencement Date, the Parties will mutually agree to a schedule and process for implementing the report (at no additional charge to Health Net) or the Parties will mutually agree to remove the report from Schedule G-3 (Management Reports). No later than six months after the BPaaS Services Commencement Date, Health Net may within reason update the list of Management Reports set forth in Schedule G-3 (Management Reports). As part of the Contract Governance Plan, the Parties will work together during the Term to refine Schedule G- 3(Management Reports) from time to time as may be necessary so that Supplier’s Management Reporting meets the objective of providing Health Net’s management and overseers with the requisite degree of visibility into the conduct of Health Net’s Functions that have been outsourced to Supplier, as they may change and evolve during the Term. Such Management Reporting will be no less comprehensive than (1) the Management Reporting of Health Net’s outsourced Functions as of the Effective Date and (2) the Management Reporting provided to Health Net (x) by Supplier under the Original BPO Agreement and Original AO Agreement or (y) by other Health Net outsourcing suppliers, as of the Effective Date, performing services similar to the Services prior to the Effective Date. |
(i) | In addition to the Management Reporting described in this Section 4.2(b), Supplier will produce a monthly performance report describing Supplier’s performance of the Services in the preceding month (the “Monthly Performance Report”). The Monthly Performance Report will be delivered to Health Net not later than the fifteenth (15th) day of each month. Each Monthly Performance Report will (A) assess the degree to which Supplier has attained or failed to attain the pertinent objectives for the prior month, including the Service Levels and measurements with respect to metrics other than the Service Levels as specified by Health Net, if applicable; (B) describe the status of each ongoing problem resolution effort and any other initiative; (C) explain deviations from the Service Levels in the prior month and include for each deviation a plan for corrective action; (D) set forth a record of the Services, personnel changes and any other changes made during the reporting period that affect, or could affect, the Services and describe the planned changes during the upcoming month that may affect the Services; (E) set forth utilization of each Supplier resource (e.g., hour, FTE, etc.) for which a charge is made under this Agreement; (F) include all documentation and other information that Health Net reasonably requests to verify compliance with this Agreement; and (G) provide Health Net with a monthly financial projection of Supplier’s charges for the following month. |

(c) | At any time during the Term, Health Net may request additional reports or modifications to the type, frequency, or format of existing reports, and if it does, Supplier shall reasonably consent to such modifications at no charge. |
(d) | Supplier understands and agrees that a number of Affected Personnel, perform ad hoc reporting as a matter of course in their daily duties. With the transition of such Affected Personnel, Supplier shall continue to provide such ad hoc reporting as may be requested by Health Net at no charge. |
5. | RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE |
5.1 | Relationship Executive |
Within fifteen (15) days after the Effective Date, Health Net and Supplier will each identify its own relationship executive (“Relationship Executive”) who will focus on Health Net’s and Supplier’s long-term strategic relationship and the mission, vision, and innovation as they relate to the Services. Supplier’s Relationship Executive will be responsible for the achievement of the goals and the implementation of the Agreement, and will be Health Net’s single point of contact for executive issues and escalation management. The Relationship Executives may not delegate execution of their role, but may involve other Health Net or Supplier resources as needed to facilitate execution of their role.
5.2 | Supplier Operating Officer |
For the Term, Supplier will identify an account executive (the “Supplier Operating Officer”) who will focus on the day-to-day operations and delivery of the Services. The Supplier Operating Officer’s role will evolve during the Term as detailed in Sections 3.1(c) and 3.2(c) above. Regardless of the Phase, during the Term the Supplier Operating Officer’s responsibilities include:
(a) | serving as the single point of accountability for Supplier for the Services, including all aspects of service delivery and the Supplier delivery organization, and have overall responsibility to ensure Health Net satisfaction. The Supplier Operating Officer will also review all Transition activities to verify that critical processes and systems are smoothly and efficiently integrated or transitioned; |
(b) | being the executive contact for Health Net on daily delivery performance and Supplier service delivery commitments, including managing performance and efficiency of Supplier’s third party delivery vendors; |
(c) | providing service management processes and reporting while being responsible for continuous delivery service improvement; and |
(d) | working with the Health Net Co-Operating Officer or Health Net Oversight Executive or Designee to ensure client satisfaction and to support new strategies and Health Net business directions. |
Health Net leadership that serve on the Governance Committee and the Board of Supervisors will provide Supplier feedback relating to performance of the Supplier Operating Officer. Health Net’s feedback will be used by Supplier as input for the overall performance appraisals for such individual.
