(c)

Health Net shall be responsible for any 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 an Supplier invoice within *** 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.

If Supplier fails to so notify Health Net, Supplier shall remain

Final Execution Version

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.

(h)

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.

(i)

Supplier is responsible, at its own risk and expense, for determining the extent (if any) to which Supplier will be required to collect and remit national, federal, state or local (or foreign) taxes: (i) on (or in respect of) any products or Services provided by Supplier or any of its Subcontractors under this Agreement in the jurisdictions in (or from) which Supplier chooses to provide the Services, or (ii) on (or in respect of) Supplier’s charges to Health Net under this Agreement.

(a)

Termination for Cause. If Supplier commits (i) a material breach of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within *** after receiving notice of the breach from Health Net; or (ii) multiple breaches of this Agreement, whether material or non-material, that collectively constitute a material breach of this Agreement, then Health Net may, by giving notice to Supplier, terminate the Agreement, in whole or in part, without charge, as of a date specified in the notice of termination. Any termination by Health Net shall not constitute an election of remedies and shall be without prejudice as to Health Net’s other rights and remedies.

(b)

Termination for Convenience. Health Net may terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time for convenience (i.e., for any reason or no reason) by giving Supplier at least three (3) months prior written notice specifying the terminated Services and designating the termination date and paying to Supplier on the effective date of termination any applicable termination charges set forth in Section 9 of Schedule C (Charges). If a termination under this paragraph is a termination in part, the termination charges payable by Health Net in respect of the termination will be equitably prorated to reflect the portion of the Services being terminated. If a purported termination for cause by Health Net under Section 16.1(a) is found by a competent authority not to be a proper termination for cause, then such termination will be deemed to be a termination for convenience by Health Net under this paragraph.

The foregoing right to terminate shall not be construed as precluding Health Net from claiming that some other combination of failures to meet Service Levels is a material breach of this Agreement and to exercise any available remedies in connection with such material breach.

(d)

Termination Following a Change of Control of Health Net. “Change of Control of Health Net” means an announcement by Health Net (i) that any other entity, person or “group” (as such term is used in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

At any time within *** after the effective date of the circumstances described in (i) or (ii) above, Health Net may terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part by giving Supplier at least ninety (90) days prior written notice specifying the terminated Services and designating the termination date. Such termination shall be *** that Health Net shall pay any outstanding Charges for all Services completed through to the effective date of termination (including for work in progress).

Any Claim for death or bodily injury, or the damage, loss or destruction of real or tangible personal property of any third party (including employees of Health Net or Supplier or their respective subcontractors) brought against a Supplier Indemnitee alleged to have been caused by the tortious acts or omissions of Health Net, Health Net personnel or anyone else for whose acts Health Net is responsible. However, Health Net will have a right of contribution from Supplier with respect to the Claim to the extent Supplier’s comparative negligence is responsible for causing the alleged injury or damage, loss or destruction.

23.5	Indemnification Procedures

The following procedures will apply to Claims for which a Party seeks to be indemnified pursuant this Agreement:

(a)

Notice. Promptly after an indemnitee receives notice of any Claim for which it will seek indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, the indemnitee will notify the indemnitor of the Claim in writing. 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 Claim by other means or if the failure to notify does not materially prejudice its ability to defend the Claim. Within fifteen (15) days after receiving an indemnitee’s notice of a Claim, but no later than ten (10) days before the date on which any formal response to the Claim is due, the indemnitor will notify the indemnitee in writing as to whether the indemnitor acknowledges its indemnification obligation and elects to assume control of the defense and settlement of the Claim (a “Notice of Election”).

(b)

Procedure Following Notice of Election. If the indemnitor timely delivers a Notice of Election to the address set forth in Section 27.4 acknowledging its indemnification obligation and electing to assume control of the defense and settlement of the Claim, it will be entitled to have sole control over the defense and settlement of the Claim. After delivering a timely Notice of Election acknowledging its indemnification obligation and electing to assume control of the defense and settlement of the Claim, the indemnitor will not be liable to the indemnitee for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnitee in defending or settling the Claim. In addition, the indemnitor will not be required to reimburse the indemnitee for any amount paid or payable by the indemnitee in settlement of the Claim if the settlement was agreed to without the written consent of the indemnitor.


Terms and Conditions		57		Health Net / Cognizant Confidential

Final Execution Version

(c)

Procedure Where No Notice of Election Is Delivered. If the indemnitor does not deliver a timely Notice of Election for a Claim acknowledging its indemnification obligation and electing to assume control of the defense and settlement of the Claim, the indemnitee may defend and/or settle the 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 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 the Claim.

23.6	Subrogation

Upon fulfilling all of its obligations under this Section 23 (Indemnification) with respect to a Claim, including making payment in full of all amounts due pursuant to its indemnification obligations, the indemnitor will be subrogated to the rights of the indemnitee(s) with respect to that Claim.

LIABILITY

24.1	General Intent

Subject to the specific provisions of this Section 24 (Liability), it is the intent of the Parties that if a Party fails to perform its obligations in the manner required by this Agreement, that Party will be liable to the other Party for any actual damages suffered or incurred by the other Party as a result.

24.2	Limitations of Liability

(a)

Except as provided in Section 24.2(c), in no event, whether in contract or in tort (including breach of warranty, negligence and strict liability in tort or otherwise), will a Party be liable to the other Party for indirect, incidental or consequential, exemplary, punitive or special damages of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, lost revenues, profits, savings or business), even if such Party has been advised in advance of the possibility of such damages or such damages could have been reasonably foreseen by such Party.

(b)

Except as provided in Section 24.2(c), each Party’s total liability to the other, whether in contract or in tort (including breach of warranty, negligence and strict liability in tort) will be limited, in the aggregate, to an amount equal to ***. The limitations specified in this Section will survive and apply even if any limited remedy specified in this Agreement is found to have failed of its essential purpose. For purposes of this Section, fees shall be deemed payable when accrued to the benefit of and legally collectable by Supplier.

(c)

The limitations and exclusions of liability set forth in this Section 24.2 (Limitations of Liability) will not apply to any of the following: ***.

(d)

Without limiting (1) each Party’s responsibility for direct damages under the Agreement, and (2) each Party’s right to claim other direct damages, the following shall be considered direct damages and shall not be considered consequential damages to the extent they result from a Party’s failure to fulfill its obligations in accordance with this Agreement:

24.3	Force Majeure

(a)

No Party will be liable for any default or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement (i) if and to the extent such default or delay is caused, directly or indirectly, by fire, flood, pestilence, earthquake, elements of nature or acts of God, riots, or civil disorders, (ii) provided the non-performing Party is without fault in causing such default or delay, and such default or delay could not have been prevented by reasonable precautions and could not reasonably be circumvented by the non-performing Party through the use of alternate sources, workaround plans or other means (including with respect to Supplier by Supplier meeting its obligations for performing disaster recovery and business continuity services as described in this Agreement) (each such event a “Force Majeure Event”).

(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).

(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

Final Execution Version

performance of functions reasonably identified by Health Net as critical for more than *** consecutive business days, then at Health Net’s option: (i) Health Net may procure such Services from an alternate source, ***; (ii) Health Net may terminate any portion of this Agreement so affected ***; or (iii) Health Net may terminate this Agreement, ***, 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.

24.4	Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity

(a)

Supplier will at all times maintain disaster recovery and business continuity plans, procedures and capabilities with respect to each Supplier Facility that meets all reasonable Health Net and applicable regulatory requirements. With respect to disaster recovery Supplier will, at a minimum:

(i)

Perform functions in accordance with internationally accepted IT recovery planning standards and procedures agreed upon by Supplier and Health Net, which standards and procedures will provide fully integrated cross-functional recovery, as specified in the Procedures Manual and which will be no less stringent than the standards and procedures used at well-managed operations providing functions similar to the Services.

(ii)

Perform backups as specified in the Procedures Manual or as otherwise reasonably necessary to maximize availability of the Services during problems, such as disaster/business recovery functions for all Health Net Data, Equipment, Services, and Software.

(iii)

Maintain backup telecommunications services that will allow Health Net to dial-in to the hot site or any other remote facility used by Supplier during a disaster.

(iv)

Provide technology change and upgrade capability to ensure that contingency facilities stay current with the technology levels of the production systems.

Develop and maintain a plan for the transition back from the disaster recovery site to Supplier Facilities of the affected services and restoration of Services at the affected site upon cessation of the disaster.

(vi)

Upon cessation of the disaster, promptly implement the plan to restore the affected Services at the affected sites.

(vii)

Update and test not less often than annually Supplier’s disaster recovery and business continuity plans, procedures and capabilities with respect to each Supplier Facility and those related to or affecting the Services.

recovery plans, processes and procedures.

(b)

Health Net will retain authority for developing policies and business requirements regarding contingency planning, disaster recovery and business continuity applicable to the Services and Health Net. Supplier will comply with the Health Net disaster recovery plan and all other Health Net disaster recovery policies and business requirements provided to Supplier, including any regulatory requirements relative to financial institutions, to the extent such plans, policies, requirements and regulations apply to the Services or to any Supplier Maintained Application. Supplier will develop and execute contingency planning and disaster recovery practices consistent with such policies, business requirements, and regulations. Health Net will, from time to time, review and modify the policies and business requirements and such modifications will be implemented by Supplier.

25.5	Relationship of the Parties

Supplier, in furnishing the Services, is acting as an independent contractor. Supplier has the sole right and obligation to supervise, manage, contract, direct, procure, perform or cause to be performed, all work to be performed by Supplier under this Agreement. Supplier is not an agent or partner of Health Net and has no authority to represent or bind Health Net as to any matters, except as expressly authorized in this Agreement. This Agreement establishes a nonexclusive relationship between the Parties.

25.6	Consents and Approvals

Where approval, acceptance, consent or similar action by either Party is required under this Agreement, such action will not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld unless this Agreement expressly provides that it is in the discretion of the Party. No approval or consent given by a Party under this Agreement will relieve the other Party from responsibility for complying with the requirements of this Agreement, nor will it be construed as a waiver of any rights under this Agreement (except to the extent, if any, expressly provided in such approval or consent). 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.

25.7

Waiver

No failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right, power or remedy will operate as a waiver of that right, power or remedy, and no waiver will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving Party. If a Party waives any right, power or remedy, the waiver will not waive any successive or other right, power or remedy that Party may have.

25.8	Remedies Cumulative

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies available to a Party under this Agreement, at law, or in equity.

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


Terms and Conditions		63		Health Net / Cognizant Confidential

Final Execution Version

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.

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


Terms and Conditions		64		Health Net / Cognizant Confidential

Final Execution Version

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 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. The following Sections are subject to this paragraph:

(a)

Section 14 (Data Security and Protection);

(b)

Section 15 (Intellectual Property Rights);

(c)

Section 16 (Termination);

(d)

Section 21 (Confidentiality); and

(e)

Section 23 (Indemnification).

26.5	Waiver of Jury Trial

THE PARTIES HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH, THE PERFORMANCE OR BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEM. The scope of this waiver is intended to be all encompassing of any and all disputes that may be filed in any court or other tribunal (including, without limitation, contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims, and all other common law and statutory claims). THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THE WAIVER SHALL APPLY


Terms and Conditions		65		Health Net / Cognizant Confidential

Final Execution Version

TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND RELATED DOCUMENTS, OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTION. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a consent to a trial by the court.

26.6	Disclaimer of Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES DISCLAIM AND NONE OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE UNIFORM COMPUTER INFORMATION TRANSACTIONS ACT (“UCITA”) (PREPARED BY THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF COMMISSIONERS ON UNIFORM STATE LAWS) AS CURRENTLY ENACTED OR AS MAY BE ENACTED, CODIFIED OR AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME BY ANY JURISDICTION. TO THE EXTANT THAT ANY ASPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY LICENSE GRANTED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS UNCLEAR OR DISPUTED BY THE PARTIES AND UCITA, IF APPLIED, WOULD CLARIFY SUCH LICENSE OR RESOLVE SUCH DISPUTE, THE PARTIES AGREE TO CLARIFY SUCH LICENSE OR RESOLVE SUCH DISPUTE INDEPENDENTLY OF UCITA BY APPLYING THE INTENT OF THE PARTIES AT THE TIME THAT THEY ENTERED THIS AGREEMENT.

GENERAL

Supplier acknowledges that the Services are personal in nature and that, as a result, Supplier may not assign this Agreement or delegate its rights or obligations under this Agreement, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Health Net. Health Net may not assign this Agreement or delegate its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Supplier except to a Health Net Affiliate or to the successor in a merger or reorganization of Health Net or an entity that acquires Control of Health Net or acquires all or substantially all of Health Net’s business or assets. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 27.1 will be void and will constitute a material breach of this Agreement by the Party attempting the assignment. A Party assigning this Agreement or delegating its rights or obligations under this Agreement must provide prompt notice of the assignment or delegation to the other Party after its effective date.

27.2	Nondiscrimination

Neither Party shall discriminate against any Beneficiary in the provision of Services hereunder, whether on the basis of the Beneficiary’s coverage under a Benefit Program, age, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, handicap, health status, source of payment, utilization of medical or mental health services or supplies, or other unlawful basis including, without limitation, the filing by such Beneficiary of any complaint, grievance or legal action against Supplier, Health Net, or a Health Net Affiliate.

(b)

In addition, in the case of any Laws that are specifically applicable to the Services rendered by Supplier or to Supplier as a provider of the Services to Health Net and its Affiliates, Supplier shall perform its obligations under this Agreement in compliance with any associated Health Net standards, policies and requirements that have been disclosed to Supplier in writing. If a Party is charged with failing to comply with any such Laws, it shall promptly notify the other Party of the charges in writing.

(c)

Each Party will bear the risk of and have Financial Responsibility for any change in Laws applicable to it or its Affiliates, or their respective businesses, or the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

The Parties shall seek to agree to the details and cost of the Regulatory Change in accordance with the Change Control Process. If there is any disagreement between the Parties regarding any Regulatory Change or potential Regulatory Change, then: (i) Health Net shall have the right to determine: (A) whether a Regulatory Change is required; and (B) how Supplier should implement that Regulatory Change; and (ii) as and if approved by Health Net, Health Net shall pay Supplier’s reasonably incurred and properly evidenced labor and materials costs of implementing the Regulatory Change; provided that if the Regulatory Change is carried out for other customers of Supplier, Health Net shall only bear an equitable proportion of Supplier’s reasonably incurred and properly evidenced labor and materials costs.

To the extent that such tools are not capable of providing Health Net with such “real time” access, Supplier shall promptly provide access to timely data upon Health Net’s request.

4	SERVICE LEVEL METHODOLOGY

4.1

General

(a)

Subject to Section 4.2 of this Schedule B, commencing on the Services Commencement Date Supplier shall meet or exceed each of the Service Levels. Service Levels constitute one means, but not the exclusive means, of measuring Supplier’s performance of its commitment under Section 5.4 of the Terms and Conditions. If a Service Level includes multiple conditions or components (e.g., components (a), (b) and(c)), then Supplier’s performance must satisfy each and every condition or component (i.e., components (a), (b) and (c)) to achieve the corresponding Service Level.

(b)

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

For each of the Service Levels set forth in Exhibit B-1, a corresponding “Code” has been designated in the "Code" column of the applicable table. The Codes have the following meanings:

(a)

“Code 1” – Code 1 has been assigned to Service Levels for which Health Net believes it has performance data showing that such Service Levels were achieved by Health Net prior to the Effective Date. Supplier shall meet or exceed each Code 1 Service Level beginning on the Service Commencement Date, subject to the following:


Schedule B		B - 3		Health Net / Cognizant Confidential

Final Execution Version

(i)

During Transition, Supplier shall have the opportunity to review such data. If the Parties agree that such data does not demonstrate a history of compliance with a particular Code 1 Service Level, they shall (A) first work in good faith to establish a Service Level that both Parties agree is supported by the applicable performance data; and (B) if they are unable to agree upon the Service Level, then they shall follow the baselining process set forth in Section 5.2(c) to establish the Service Level.

(ii)

The process above shall be applied on an application-by-application basis for the Application Availability, Application Response Time, and On-Time Batch Processing Service Levels (i.e., Application Availability, Application Response Time, and On-Time Batch Processing for some but not all In-Scope Applications may need to be validated or baselined).

(b)

“Code 2” – Code 2 has been assigned to Service Levels that the Parties agree should be established through the baselining process set forth in Section 5.2(c).

(c)

“Code 3” – Code 3 has been assigned to the certain Service Levels for which a target has been set that Health Net has not consistently achieved prior to the Effective Date. The following applies to Code 3 Service Levels:

(i)

Beginning on the Service Commencement Date, Supplier shall meet or exceed the levels of performance achieved by Health Net prior to the Effective Date; and

(ii)

Within 60 days of the Service Commencement Date, Supplier shall provide Health Net with a plan for improving the Code 3 Service Levels to meet the target metrics set for such Service Levels. Upon approval from Health Net, Supplier shall implement the plan and begin meeting the Service Level on the date specified in the plan.

(d)

“Code 4” – Code 4 has been assigned to Service Levels that the Parties agree do not require validation or baselining. Service Provider shall meet or exceed Code 4 Service Levels beginning on the Service Commencement Date.

4.3	Failure to Perform

(a)

For each Service Level 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) 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 damage from such Critical Service Level Failure is not susceptible to precise determination. Accordingly, in the event of a Critical Service Level Failure for reasons other than ***. This Section 4.3(b) 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 for cause.


Schedule B		B - 4		Health Net / Cognizant Confidential

Final Execution Version

(c)

Supplier shall not be relieved for any Service Level Failure caused by a Managed Third Party if such Service Level Failure arises from Supplier's failure to manage such Managed Third Parties in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

4.4	Excused Service Level Failures

If Supplier fails to meet a Service Level and establishes within two months after such failure that: (a) Health Net’s failure to perform a retained responsibility was the root cause of Supplier’s failure to meet such Service Level (e.g., providing the required infrastructure to host In-Scope Applications); (b) Supplier would have achieved such Service Level but for such Health Net failure; (c) Supplier used Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform and achieve the Service Level notwithstanding the presence and impact of such Health Net failure; and (d) Supplier is without fault in causing such Health Net failure, then no Service Level Credit shall be assessed against Supplier for any resulting Service Level Failure, and Supplier shall otherwise be excused from achieving such Service Level for as long as Health Net fails to perform such retained responsibility and Supplier continues to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to prevent, overcome, or mitigate the adverse effects of such failure to the extent required to achieve the applicable Service Level. Supplier shall not be excused from a failure to achieve a Service Level other than under this Section 4.4 or as expressly provided in this Agreement.

4.5	Service Level Credits

(a)

Calculation. For each Critical Service Level Failure, the applicable Service Level Credit referenced in Section 4.3(b) above shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula:


		Service Level Credit = A x B

Where:

		A = the applicable Weighting Factor; and

		B = the Amount at Risk for such calendar month.

(b)

Notification. For each Critical Service Level Failure, Supplier shall report such failure to Health Net pursuant to Section 17.3(b) of the Terms and Conditions and Section 3.3 of this Schedule B. Such report will, at a minimum, (i) identify and describe as a “Critical Service Level Failure” such Critical Service Level Failure, and (ii) calculate the amount of the corresponding Service Level Credit, calculated pursuant to Section 4.5(a) of this Schedule B, that Health Net may elect pursuant to Section 4.3(b) of this Schedule B.

(c)

Limitations.

(i)

In no event shall the sum of the Weighting Factors for all Critical Service Levels exceed the Pool Percentage Available for Allocation.

(ii)

In no event shall the total amount of Service Level Credits payable by Supplier for Critical Service Level Failures occurring during a calendar month exceed the Amount at Risk for such calendar month.

establish a new T&M Rate in Exhibit C-6 for Onshore Personnel and Offshore Personnel for the new In-Scope Application, which shall be a blended rate determined using the Supporting Skillset Rates set forth in Exhibit C-7; and

(B)

equitably adjust the Production Support Charge to reflect the additional staffing, which adjustment shall not exceed an amount equal to the number of incremental FTEs in the revised staffing multiplied by the


Schedule C (Charges)		C - 3		Health Net / Cognizant Confidential

Final Execution Version

new T&M Rates for the In-Scope Application established under Section 4.3(a)(ii)(A).

(b) If Health Net removes an existing In-Scope Application, then:

(i) Supplier shall propose a revised staffing plan showing the reduction in Supplier Personnel required to support the reduced workload. Upon request, Supplier shall provide Health Net with supporting detail from Supplier’s estimating tools to allow Health Net to understand and validate Supplier’s proposed revisions.

(ii) After the revised staffing is determined, the Parties shall equitably adjust the Production Support Charge to reflect the revised staffing, which adjustment shall equal the applicable Individual Application Production Support Charge for the In-Scope Application removed unless the Parties agree otherwise.

(c) The Production Support Charge assumes the MC400 In-Scope Applications will be sunset by December 31, 2010 and their functions migrated to ABS. For purposes of this Section, “sunset” means the date on which Health Net desires to cease receiving full Production Support Services and to receive the more limited support described below in Section 4.3(c)(iii). Health Net shall provide Supplier with reasonable notice (at least 30 days) if it desires to change the sunset date to a date other than December 31, 2010.

(i) If any of the MC400 In-Scope Applications are sunset prior to December 31, 2010, then the Production Support Charge shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Individual Application Production Support Charges for such MC400 In-Scope Applications during the period from (A) the sunset date, until (B) December 31, 2010.

(ii) If any of the MC400 In-Scope Applications require full Production Support Services after December 31, 2010, then the Production Support Charge shall be increased by an amount equal to the Individual Application Production Support Charges for such MC400 In-Scope Applications during the period from (A) December 31, 2010, until (B) the date Health Net no longer requires full Production Support Services for such MC400 In-Scope Applications.

(iii) The Parties anticipate that Health Net will require a reduced level of Production Support Services for the MC400 In-Scope Applications in the years following the sunset and migration to ABS. Prior to the sunset date, the Parties will agree upon the staffing required to provide such support, and calculate the charges for such support by multiplying the Supplier Personnel FTEs in such staffing plan by the applicable T&M Rates in Exhibit C-6.

4.4	Minor Enhancements

(a) The Production Support Charge includes a baseline of Productive Hours that Supplier shall perform each calendar quarter on Minor Enhancements requested by Health Net (“Baseline Minor Enhancement Hours”). Subject to Section 4.4(b), the Baseline Minor Enhancement Hours included in the Production Support Charge are as follows:

(i) There are no Baseline Minor Enhancement Hours in 2008.

(ii) In 2009, the Baseline Minor Enhancement Hours shall increase as follows each calendar quarter as In-Scope Applications are transitioned:

(ii) If Health Net adds a new In-Scope Application, beginning in the month following such addition, the quarterly Baseline Minor Enhancement Hours shall be ***.

(iii) Upon request, Supplier shall provide Health Net with supporting detail to allow Health Net to understand and validate Supplier’s staffing numbers and proposed adjustments.

(c) Health Net and Supplier shall each use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to prioritize, manage and coordinate Minor Enhancement work to stay within the Baseline Minor Enhancement Hours allocation each quarter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Health Net requires a volume of Minor Enhancement hours above the Baseline Minor Enhancement Hours in a quarter, Supplier shall provide such hours using the Baseline AD Hours provided under Section 5.1.

4.5	Offshore / Onshore Ratios

The Parties have agreed on the following maximum ratios of Supplier Personnel based in India (“Offshore Personnel”) and Supplier Personnel based in the United States (“Onshore Personnel”) assigned to perform Production Support Services (“Maximum Offshore/Onshore Ratio”):


	Contract Year
	Year 1	Year 2	Year 3	Year 4	Year 5
Maximum Offshore / Onshore Ratio	***	***	***	***	***

(a) The Maximum Offshore/Onshore Ratios reflect the maximum number of Offshore Personnel Supplier may use to perform Production Support Services. These Maximum Offshore/Onshore Ratios reflect the average ratio of Offshore Personnel and Onshore Personnel during each Contract Year (i.e., the ratio of Offshore Personnel to Onshore Personnel may increase temporarily as long as the average ratio for the Contract Year does not exceed the applicable Maximum Offshore/Onshore Ratio). If Supplier believes it can increase this ratio while maintaining compliance with the Service Levels and other terms of this Agreement, Supplier shall propose a revised staffing plan ***.

(b) Supplier is responsible for performing all functions required to transition Services to Offshore Personnel (up to the permitted Maximum Offshore/Onshore Ratio) while maintaining compliance with the Service Levels and other terms of this Agreement. ***

(c) If Health Net directs Supplier to reduce the number of Offshore Personnel below the permitted Maximum Offshore/Onshore Ratio for reasons other than Supplier’s failure to meet Service


Schedule C (Charges)		C - 5		Health Net / Cognizant Confidential

Productivity Commitment	***	***	***	***	***

4.7	Transitioned Employees

(a) Supplier shall hire 76 Transitioned Employees in accordance with Schedule E as of the applicable Transfer Date defined in Schedule E. Of the 76 Transitioned Employees, 47 will be assigned to perform Production Support Services. Supplier shall be fully compensated for such 47 Transitioned Employees through the Production Support Charge.

(b) The Production Support Charge assumes the Transfer Date (defined in Schedule E) for all 47 Transitioned Employees shall be November 16, 2008. ***

(c) Without limiting any of Supplier’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to Supplier Personnel, Health Net shall have the right to assign and prioritize work for each Transitioned Employee during the period between the applicable Transfer Date and the Scheduled Steady-State Date for the In-Scope Application on which such Transitioned Employee is assigned to work.

4.8	Supporting Skillset Rates

Exhibit C-7 sets forth the skillset mix and individual supporting skillset rates that were used to determine the blended T&M Rates in Exhibit C-6 for each In-Scope Application (“Supporting Skillset Rates”). The Supporting Skillset Rates shall be used solely for (a) benchmarking, (b) to create new T&M Rates pursuant to Section 4.3(a), and (c) to adjust the T&M Rates for an In-Scope Application if Health Net requests a material change in the skillset mix for such In-Scope Application. If Health Net requests a material change under item (c) above, the Parties shall document the new skillset mix requested by Health Net in Exhibit C-7 and revise the blended T&M Rates in Exhibit C-6 to reflect the new skillset mix using the individual Supporting Skillset Rates in Exhibit C-7. For clarification, the adjustment in item (c) shall apply only if Health Net requests a change in skillset mix; it shall not apply if Supplier determines that it requires a different skillset mix in order to provide the Services described in this Agreement.

5.	APPLICATIONS DEVELOPMENT

Exhibit A-6 (Project Framework) sets forth a framework and terms under which Health Net may authorize Supplier to perform Applications Development Projects. This Section 5 describes how the Charges for AD Projects shall be determined.


Schedule C (Charges)		C - 6		Health Net / Cognizant Confidential

Final Execution Version

5.1	General Terms

(a) Exhibit C-3 sets forth a monthly charge for the volume of Applications Development Services authorized by Health Net as of the Effective Date (“Applications Development Charge” or “AD Charge”). The AD Charge consists of the following components for each In-Scope Application:

(i) The Onshore Personnel and Offshore Personnel components of the AD Charge for each In-Scope Application in Exhibit C-3 are determined by multiplying the volume of Productive Hours for Onshore Personnel (excluding Transitioned Employees) and Offshore Personnel set forth in Exhibit C-4 for each such In-Scope Application by the applicable T&M Rates in Exhibit C-6;

(ii) The Transitioned Employee component of the AD Charge is determined by multiplying the number of Transitioned Employees assigned solely to perform Applications Development Services for an In-Scope Application (as set forth in Exhibit C-5) by *** per month.

(b) The Applications Development Charge includes a pool of Productive Hours of Applications Development Services for each In-Scope Application (“Baseline AD Hours”). The Baseline AD Hours for each In-Scope Application shall equal:

(i) The volume of Productive Hours for Onshore Personnel (excluding Transitioned Employees) and Offshore Personnel for the In-Scope Application set forth in Exhibit C-4 for the applicable month, plus

(ii)*** Productive Hours per month for each Transitioned Employee assigned to perform Applications Development Services for the In-Scope Application (as set forth in Exhibit C-4), plus

(iii) Any additional Productive Hours within the *** described in Section 5.3.

(c) Beginning in November 2008, Supplier shall invoice Health Net on a monthly basis in arrears for the Baseline AD Hours, as they may be adjusted each month under Section 5.2, through the Applications Development Charge in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Terms and Conditions.

(d) Supplier will make available the Baseline AD Hours specified in Exhibit C-4, as they may be adjusted by Health Net on a monthly basis pursuant to Section 5.2(b). If Health Net does not request sufficient work to fully utilize Baseline AD Hours for a particular In-Scope Application in a month, then Supplier shall use reasonable efforts to redeploy the Supplier Personnel assigned to provide such Baseline AD Hours for such In-Scope Application to work on other In-Scope Applications that require similar skills (and such work shall not be considered Incremental AD Hours under Section 5.3(b)). For the avoidance of doubt, Health Net shall not be entitled to a credit or carry-over of Baseline AD Hours in a month that are unused due to Health Net’s failure to request sufficient work to utilize such Baseline AD Hours in the month.

(e) Health Net and Supplier shall each use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to prioritize, manage and coordinate Applications Development Projects to stay within the Baseline AD Hours allocation each month.

(f) Hours spent by Supplier in performing Cross Functional Services described in Schedule A shall not be counted as Productive Hours or applied against Baseline AD Hours except to the extent (i) they are spent performing activities described in Sections 2.3, 2.4, 2.8, 2.9 2.10, 2.11 and 2.13 of Schedule A directly relating to performing Application Development Projects, and (ii) they are not precluded from being chargeable under Exhibit A-6 (Project Framework).

5.2	Adjustments to the Baseline AD Hours

(a) In connection with the Joint Capacity Planning Process, the Parties shall work together to develop and maintain a rolling 12-month forecast of AD Projects and associated resource requirements (“AD Project Forecast”). Each month, and as otherwise requested by Health Net, the Parties shall meet to (i) update the AD Project Forecast as necessary to remain current with Health Net’s estimated AD Project demand and (ii) make any corresponding adjustments to the Baseline AD Hours in accordance with Section 5.2(b).

(b) On a monthly basis, Health Net may request a change in the upcoming volume or mix of Baseline AD Hours. In such event, Supplier shall make such change within 30 days after receiving such request and recalculate the Applications Development Charge for the remaining months in the applicable Contract Year using the formulas in Sections 5.1(a)(i) and 5.1(a)(ii).

5.3	Charges for Productive Hours in Excess of the Baseline AD Hours

The Parties shall adjust the Applications Development Charge on a monthly basis as provided in Section 5.2(b) to reflect changes in the Baseline AD Hours forecasted by Health Net. This Section 5.3 describes the incremental Charge Health Net shall pay if its actual usage of Productive Hours on Applications Development Services for a particular In-Scope Application in a calendar quarter exceeds the aggregate Baseline AD Hours for that In-Scope Application (as such Baseline AD Hours may be adjusted pursuant to Section 5.2(b)) for such calendar quarter.

(a) Not later than 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter, Supplier will report (i) the quantity of Productive Hours authorized by Health Net and performed by Supplier on Applications Development Services during the quarter for each In-Scope Application (“Actual AD Hours”) and (ii) any variance in Actual AD Hours above or below the Baseline AD Hours for the In-Scope Application in that quarter.

(b) ***

Example 1: ***

Example 2: ***

(c) Supplier shall use all Commercially Reasonable Efforts to minimize Incremental AD Hours, including by cross-training Supplier Personnel so that they can work on multiple In-Scope Applications (e.g., if an individual is assigned to MC400 but not fully utilized performing AD Projects for MC400, Supplier shall assign AD Projects for other In-Scope Applications to such individual).

(d) Supplier shall include any additional charges payable under this Section 5.3 on the invoice for the month following the end of each calendar quarter.

5.4	Offshore / Onshore Ratios

As of the Effective Date, the Baseline AD Hours reflect what the Parties believe is the optimal mix of Offshore Personnel and Onshore Personnel. Health Net may alter this mix by adding or removing Baseline AD Hours performed by Offshore Personnel or Onshore Personnel through the process described in Section 5.2.

Supplier will provide Health Net with contemporaneous notice and with such other information as Health Net may request regarding the event.

(d)

The Parties do not intend to shift all risk of loss to insurance. Supplier’s obligation to maintain insurance coverage in specified amounts will not act as a limitation on any other liability or obligation which Supplier would otherwise have under the Agreement. Similarly, the naming of Health Net and its Affiliates as additional insureds is not intended to be a limitation of Supplier’s liability under the Agreement and will in no event be deemed to, or serve to, limit Supplier’s liability to Health Net to available insurance coverage or to the policy limits specified in this Schedule H, nor to limit Health Net’s rights to exercise any and all remedies available to Health Net under the Agreement, at law or in equity.
