Act, and its implementing regulations set forth at 45 C.F.R. Parts 160 and 164, including the Privacy,
Security, Breach Notification and Enforcement Rules.

information" in 45 C.F.R. § 160.103, as applied to the information created or received by TriZetto
from or on behalf of Company.
"Security Incident" has the same meaning as "security incident" in 45 C.F.R. § 164.304, excluding

report to Company in writing within 30 days after the Discovery any use or disclosure of PHI not

reasonably believed by TriZetto to have been accessed, acquired, or disclosed. TriZetto shall
cooperate with Company in investigating a Breach or Security Incident so that Company may meet

S. Confidential Information.
5.1. The term "Confidential Information" means the business or technical information disclosed by a
party (the "Discloser") to the other party (the "Recipient") that is identified as being confidential at the time
of disclosure or disclosed under circumstances that would lead a reasonable person to believe such information
is confidential. Confidential Information does not include Protected Health Information, and such information
will be handled pursuant to the BAA. The terms of the Agreement and any user identification and password
that affects Client's access to or use of the Subscription Services are also considered Confidential Information.
Excluded from the definition of Confidential Information is information that: (a) is or becomes generally known
or available to the public (unless due to a breach of the Agreement by Recipient); (b) was known by Recipient
without restriction as to use or disclosure before receipt of the information from Discloser; (c) is acquired by
Recipient from a third party who has the right to disclose it without restriction as to use or disclosure; or (d) is
independently developed by Recipient without using any Confidential Information of Discloser or violating
Discloser's intellectual property rights.
5.2. Use and Disclosure. The Recipient agrees that Confidential Information is proprietary to the Discloser
and shall remain the sole property of the Discloser. Except as expressly permitted by this Article 5, Recipient
shall (a) not disclose, except under a binding confidential disclosure agreement as restrictive as the
confidentiality terms hereunder, Discloser's Confidential Information or use Discloser's Confidential
Information, and then only in performance of this Agreement; (b) use the same level of care to prevent
unauthorized disclosure or use of Discloser's Confidential Information as Recipient uses with its own similar
information, but no less than a commercially -reasonable level of care; (c) use Confidential Information only for
the purposes permitted in the Agreement; and (d) promptly notify Discloser upon discovery of any loss or
unauthorized disclosure of the Discloser's Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Recipient shall be allowed to disclose Confidential Information of the Discloser to the extent that such
disclosure is required by law or by the order of a court or similar judicial or administrative body.
5.3. Injunction. The parties agree that breach of this Article 5 would cause irreparable injury, for which
monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation, and that in addition to any other remedy, a
party will be entitled to injunctive relief against such breach or threatened breach, without proving actual
damage or posting a bond or other security.
5.4. Termination and Return. With respect to each item of Confidential Information, the obligations of
Section 5.2 above (Use and Disclosure) will survive for so long as Discloser's Confidential Information is
retained; provided that such obligations related to Confidential Information constituting Discloser's trade
secrets will continue so long as such information remains subject to trade secret protection pursuant to
applicable law. Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement, Recipient shall return or destroy all originals
and copies of Confidential Information. The obligation to return or destroy Confidential Information shall not
apply to archival copies of Client Data that TriZetto creates in the performance of the Services if the copies are
maintained at a secure TriZetto facility or the secure facility of a reputable third party data backup services
provider, provided TriZetto does not access such Client Data for any unauthorized purpose. If requested by
Discloser, Recipient shall certify that it has met its obligations under this Section 5.4.
6. Payment Terms.
6.1. Fees. Client agrees to pay TriZetto all charges specified in each Order, and, if applicable, any SoW or
Change Order, charges for use in excess of authorizations, any customs or other duty, tax, levy or fee imposed
by any authority resulting from Client's purchases under the Agreement, and any late payment fees. Pricing

6.2. Invoicing. Except as provided on an Order, all invoices shall be due upon receipt and payable within
fifteen (15) days of the invoice date without withholding, deduction or set-off of any amount for any reason.
Any overdue invoices will bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) one and a half percent (1.5%) per
month or (ii) the maximum rate allowed under applicable law, until the overdue invoice and accrued interest
are fully paid. TriZetto may suspend or terminate the Services based on overdue invoices by providing thirty
(30) days advance written notice, provided such overdue payment is not made within such thirty (30) day
period. Client shall reimburse TriZetto for any expenses incurred by TriZetto in pursuing collection of overdue

notice of the Indemnified Claim or reasonably cooperate materially prejudices the defense. Indemnitor will
control the defense of any Indemnified Claim, including appeals, negotiations, and any settlement or
compromise thereof; provided the indemnified party will have the right, not to be exercised unreasonably, to
reject any settlement or compromise that requires that it admit wrongdoing or liability or subjects it to any

subsidiaries, agents, successors, and assigns.)
