and belief, that Customer's financial condition has deteriorated, or Customer continues to fail to comply with the
material financial obligations specified in this Agreement, United may remove the Grace Period upon notice to
Customer and reserves the right to either charge interest on payments not received after the Due Date or terminate the
Agreement if payments are not received by the Due Date.

EXHIBIT A - STATEMENT OF WORK
The following are the administrative services United has agreed to provide to Customer. Customer may request that
United provide services in addition to those set forth in this Agreement. If United agrees to provide them, those
services will be governed by the terms of this Agreement and any amendments to this Agreement. Customer will pay
an additional fee, determined by United, for these additional services. The services described in this Exhibit will be
made available to Customer's eligible Participants consistent with the Summary Plan Description under which the
Participant is covered.

Providers, as well as related administrative services including physician (and other health care professional) relations,
clinical profiling, contracting and credentialing, and network analysis and system development. The make-up of the
Network can change at any time. Notice will be given in advance or as soon as reasonably possible.
United generally does not employ Network Providers and they are not United's agents or partners, although certain
Network Providers are affiliated with United. Otherwise, Network Providers participate in Networks only as

rendered to Participants. United is not responsible for the medical outcomes or the quality or competence of any
provider or facility rendering services, including Network Pharmacies and services provided through United's
affiliates' networks, or the payment for services rendered by the provider or facility.

incentives, and/or additional payments that may be earned, conditioned on meeting standards relating to utilization,
quality of care, efficiency measures, compliance with United's other policies or initiatives, or other clinical integration
or practice transformation standards. Customer shall fund these payments due to the Network Providers as soon as
United makes the determination the Network Provider is entitled to receive the payment under the Network Provider's
contract, either upfront or after the standard has been met. For upfront funding, if United makes the determination
that the Network Provider failed to meet a standard, United will return to Customer the applicable amount. United
shall provide Customer quarterly reports describing the amount of payments made on behalf of Customer's Plan.
Only the initial claims -based reimbursement to Network Providers will be subject to the Participant's copayment,
coinsurance or deductible requirements. Customer will pay the Network Provider the full amount earned or attributable
to its Participants, without a reduction for copayments or deductibles and agree that there will be no impact from these
payments on the calculation of the Participant's satisfaction of their annual deductible amount.
Section A2 Prevention and Recovery Services

opportunities as described herein.
Overpayments. United will attempt to recover Overpayments by employing appropriate outreach to Participants
and/or providers to request reimbursement.

("Payment Integrity Services"). United's Payment Integrity Services help guard against potential errors, fraud, waste
and abuse by reviewing claims on a pre- or post -adjudicated basis.

Services to Customer and to United's other customers. Services include all work to identify recovery and savings
opportunities, research, data analysis, investigation, and initiation of all Recovery Processes set forth below. United

Recovery Process —Non-Class Action Recoveries. Customer delegates to United the discretion and authority to
develop and use standards and procedures for any recovery opportunity, including but not limited to, whether or not
to seek recovery, what steps to take if United decides to seek recovery, whether to initiate litigation or arbitration, the
scope of such litigation or arbitration, which legal theories to pursue in such litigation or arbitration, and all decisions
relating to such litigation or arbitration, including but not limited to, whether to compromise or settle any litigation or
arbitration, and the circumstances under which a claim may be compromised or settled for less than the full amount
of the potential recovery. In all instances where United pursues recovery through litigation or arbitration, Customer,
on behalf of itself and on behalf of its Plan(s), will be deemed to have granted United an assignment of all ownership,
title and legal rights and interests in and to any and all claims that are the subject matter of the litigation or arbitration.
Customer acknowledges that use of United's standards and procedures may not result in full or partial recovery for
any particular claim or for any particular customer. United will not pursue any recovery if it is not permitted by any
applicable law, or if recovery would be impractical, as determined in United's discretion. While United may initiate
litigation or arbitration to facilitate a recovery, United has no obligation to do so. If United initiates litigation or
arbitration, Customer will cooperate with United in the litigation or arbitration.
If this Agreement terminates, in whole or in part, United can continue recovery activities for any claims paid when
the Agreement was in effect pursuant to the terms of this Section A2.
Recovery Process — Class Action Recoveries. Where a class action purports to affect Customer's (or the Plan(s) it
sponsors or administers) right to and interest in any Overpayment, United has the right to determine whether to seek
recovery of the Overpayment on the Customer's (or the Plan(s) it sponsors or administers) behalf through litigation,
arbitration, or settlement. If United elects to seek recovery of such an Overpayment that is at issue in a class action,
United will provide written notice to Customer of its intention. If Customer does not want United to seek recovery of
the Overpayment, Customer shall notify United in writing within thirty (30) days of receiving notice from United. If
Customer does not so notify United, Customer, on behalf of itself and on behalf of the Plan(s) it sponsors and
administers, assigns to United all ownership, title and legal rights and interests in and to any and all Overpayments
that are the subject matter of the class action. In such cases, Customer will cooperate with United in any resulting
litigation or arbitration that United may file to pursue the Overpayments.
If Customer provides United with written notice that it does not want United to seek recovery of an Overpayment
related to a class action (whether putative or certified) then,, pursuant to its standard procedures, United will provide
Customer with related Overpayment claims information, at Customer's request. Customer is then solely responsible
for determining whether it (or the Plan(s) it sponsors or administers) will participate in the class action (whether
putative or certified), participate in any class action settlement, pursue recovery of the relevant Overpayment outside
of the class action, or take any other action with respect to any cause of action the Customer (or the Plan(s) it sponsors
or administers) might have.
If this Agreement terminates, in whole or in part, United can continue recovery activities for any claims paid when
the Agreement was in effect pursuant to the terms of this Section A2.
Offsetting Process. Overpayment recoveries may occur by offsetting the Overpayment against future payments to
the provider made by United. In effectuating Overpayment recoveries through offset, United will follow its
established Overpayment recovery rules which include, among other things, prioritizing Overpayment credits based
on: (1) the age of the Overpayment for electronic payments and (2) the funding type and the age of the Overpayment
for check payments. United may recover the Overpayment by offsetting, in whole or in part, against: (1) future
benefits that are payable under the Plan in connection with services provided to any Participants; or (2) future benefits
that are payable in connection with services provided to individuals covered under other self -insured or fully -insured
plans for which United processes payments (a "Cross Plan Offset"). In addition to permitting United to recover
Overpayments on behalf of the Plan from benefits payable under other plans, United will enable other plans (including
plans fully insured by United) to recover their Overpayments from benefits payable under the Plan through Cross Plan
Offsets. Customer understands and agrees that in doing so, the Plan is participating in a cooperative overpayment
recovery effort with other plans for which United acts as the claims administrator. Reallocations pursuant to this
process do not impact the decision as to whether or not a benefit is payable under the Plan. Customer represents and
warrants that the Plan SPD contains United's approved template language authorizing Cross Plan Offsets.
In United's application of Overpayment recovery through offset, timing differences may arise in the processing of
claims payments, disbursement of provider checks, and the recovery of Overpayments. As a result, the Plan may in
some instances receive the benefit of an Overpayment recovery before United actually receives the funds from the
9
Proprietary Information of UnitedHealth Group
UHC
provider. Conversely, United may receive the funds before the Plan receives the credit for the Overpayment. It is
hereby understood that the Parties may retain any interest that accrues as a result of these timing differences. Details
associated with Overpayment recoveries made on behalf of the Plan through offset will be identified in the monthly
reconciliation report provided to the Customer's Plan. The monthly reconciliation report will contain information
relating only to Customer's Plan and will not contain information relating to other plans for which United acts as the
claims administrator.
Recovery Fees. Customer will be charged a fee for the Payment Integrity Services described in this Section A2. That
fee is set forth in Exhibit B-Fees. No fees will be charged (a) if the Overpayment is solely the result of United's acts,
or (b) for recoveries obtained through a class action where United does not file an opt -out case on behalf of Customer.
United will not be responsible for reimbursement of any unrecovered Overpayment nor attorneys' fees and costs
related to litigation or arbitration associated with recoveries except to the extent an arbitrator, arbitration panel, or
court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Overpayment was due to United's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Under no circumstances will United be responsible for reimbursement of unrecovered Overpayments
resulting from a third parry's fraud.
Section A3 Providing Funds
Responsibility for Payment of Plan Benefits. The Plan is Self -Funded. Customer is solely responsible for providing
funds for payment for all Plan benefits. United has no liability or responsibility to provide these funds. This is true
even if United or its affiliates provide stop loss insurance to Customer.
Bank Account. Parties will mutually agree upon Banking Account establishment. If mutually agreed upon, United
under Customer's employer identification number, will open and maintain a Bank Account at a bank under United's
sole control (the "Bank") to provide United the means to access Customer's funds for the purpose of payment of Plan
benefits, Plan expenses (such as state surcharges or assessments), or other Customer financial obligations and, when
authorized by Customer, fees. The Bank Account will be a part of the network of accounts that have been established
at the Bank for United's self -funded customers. The funds in the Bank Account are Customer's and will not be
comingled with any other customer funds.
Balance In Account. Customer will maintain a minimum balance in the Bank Account in an amount equal to not less
than 6 days of expected Bank Account activity. United will establish this amount based on expected Plan payment
obligations, with appropriate adjustments for anticipated non -daily activity (e.g., prescription drug benefits and fee
payments)' as determined by United. United will notify Customer of the established amount and if and when the
required minimum balance changes.
The required minimum balance is based on Customer's financial condition as assessed by United. In the event United
determines, based on reasonable information and belief, that Customer's financial condition has deteriorated or
Customer continues to fail to comply with the material financial obligations specified in this Agreement, United may
revise the required balance effective five (5) days from the date of notice to Customer.
Issuing and Providing Funds for Checks and Non -Draft Payments. Checks and/or non -draft payments will be
written on and/or issued from one or more common accounts that are a part of the network of accounts maintained at
the Bank for United's self -funded customers. When the checks for Plan benefits are presented to the Bank, the Bank
will notify United and United will direct the Bank to either reject the checks or to withdraw funds from the Bank
Account to fund the checks that are cashed.
Transfers of Funds. Funds will also be withdrawn from the Bank Account when a transfer of funds has been made
electronically. United will direct the Bank to withdraw funds from the Bank Account to fund the non -draft payments
or expenses as they are issued.
Calls for Funds. The withdrawals from the Bank Account are paid for by the balance Customer maintains in the Bank
Account. This balance will be drawn down each banking day to satisfy the previous days liability.
Parties will mutually agree upon which Party will initiate funding transfers and will mutually agree upon the means
by which they will be transferred. If mutually agreed upon, Customer will authorize United to initiate Automated
Clearing House (ACH) transfers from Customer's own designated funding bank account to the Bank Account for
amounts that are due. Ever 5 business day(s), United will notify Customer of the amount due, and if mutually agreed
upon, United will within one business day, initiate transfers from Customer's own designated funding bank account
10
Proprietary Information of UnitedHealth Group
UHC
to the Bank Account.
The number of days between transfers and the method of transfer are based on Customer's financial condition as of
the Effective Date as assessed by United, as well as Customer's compliance with material financial obligations. United
reserves the right to increase the frequency of such fund transfers and/or change the method of transfer if United
determines, based on reasonable information and belief, that Customer financial condition has deteriorated, or
Customer continues to fail to comply with the material financial obligations specified in this Agreement,,
Underfunding. If Customer does not provide the amounts sufficient to maintain the required minimum balance in the
Bank Account, or to cover Bank Account withdrawals: (1) Customer must immediately correct the deficiency and
provide prompt notice to United. (2) If United learns of the funding deficiency, United will notify Customer within
one business day so Customer can correct the deficiency. (3) United may stop issuing checks and non -draft payments
and suspend any of its other services under this Agreement for the period of time Customer does not provide the
required funding. (4) If Customer does not correct the funding deficiency within three banking days of United's notice
to Customer, United may terminate this Agreement as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, such termination to be
effective the first day such funding deficiency began. Customer will pay interest on the amount of underfunding at the
rate identified in the Fee Exhibit.
Stop Payments on Outstanding Checks. At Customer's expense, United may place stop payments on checks if
United determines that Customer has insufficient funds in Customer's own designated funding bank account to honor
such checks. United will send a search letter to the payee on all checks that have not been cashed within six (6)
months. United will automatically stop payment on all checks that have not been cashed within twelve (12) months
and provide Customer with reports Customer needs for the purposes of performing escheat. Customer is solely
responsible for determining to file and/or filing unclaimed property once notified, or for making unclaimed payee
payments directly.
Funding After Termination. When this Agreement terminates, the funding method will remain in place to fund all
outstanding checks and Customer's other funding obligations, including credit refunds due to the Customer, for the
length of the run -out period. Following the run -out period, to ensure a minimally sufficient balance is maintained to
cover the Customer's funding obligations the required minimum balance may be adjusted through mutual agreement
of the parties. United will stop payment on all checks that remain uncashed at the end of this period and Customer
will request in writing to close the Bank Account and recover any funds remaining in it. United will provide bank
statements and Bank Account reconciliation reports, including reports Customer needs for the purposes of performing
escheat.
Section A4 Medical Benefit Drug Rebate Payments
Allocation and Payment of Medical Benefit Drug Rebates. From time to time, United or a subcontractor may
negotiate with drug manufacturers regarding the payment of Medical Benefit Drug Rebates on applicable prescription
drug products dispensed to Participants under the Plan's medical benefit. Customer will receive 80% of the Medical
Benefit Drug Rebates United receives. United will retain the balance of such Medical Benefit Drug Rebates as part
of United's compensation. When United negotiates directly with drug manufacturers for the payment of Medical
Benefit Drug Rebates to United, United will pay Customer the agreed upon Medical Benefit Drug Rebates within
thirty (30) calendar days of United's receipt of such Medical Benefit Drug Rebates from the drug manufacturer. If
United is not able to make payment to Customer within thirty (30) calendar days, United will pay interest on such
Medical Benefit Drug Rebates from the date of receipt until United makes payment to Customer, less approximately
thirty (30) days for processing. United will retain interest earned during this processing timeframe. Interest will be
paid at the one -month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) in effect on the first business day of each applicable
month.
Customer will only receive Customer's Medical Benefit Drug Rebates to the extent that Medical Benefit Drug Rebates
are received by United. Thus, for example, if a government action or a major change in pharmaceutical industry
practices prevents United from receiving Medical Benefit Drug Rebates, the amount Customer receives may be
reduced or eliminated.
Customer agrees that during the term of this Agreement, neither Customer nor the Plan will negotiate or arrange or
contract in any way for Medical Benefit Drug Rebates on or the purchase of prescription drug products from any
manufacturer under the Plan's medical benefit. If Customer or the Plan does, United may, without limiting United's
right to other remedies, immediately terminate Customer's and Plan's entitlement to Medical Benefit Drug Rebates
I I
Proprietary Information of UnitedHealth Group
UHC
(including forfeiture of any Medical Benefit Drug Rebates earned but not paid). In addition, Customer agrees to
reasonably cooperate with United in order to obtain Medical Benefit Drug Rebates.
Subcontractor Compensation. If a subcontractor is involved in negotiating with drug manufacturers regarding the
payment of Medical Benefit Drug Rebates, it may retain a portion of the gross amounts received from drug
manufacturers in connection with such products. United will provide information on the amount, if any, retained by
the subcontractor as compensation for its services, in advance of Customer's execution of this Agreement. In addition,
United will provide Customer with thirty (30) days advance notice of any material increase in or method for
subcontractor compensation. If at any time Customer does not find the subcontractor compensation acceptable,
Customer may terminate the Medical Benefit Drug Rebates services after thirty (30) days advance written notice to
United.
Section AS Claims Determinations and Appeals
Claim Procedures. Customer appoints United a named fiduciary under the Plan with respect to (i) performing initial
benefit determinations and payment, (ii) performing the fair and impartial review of first level internal appeals and
(iii) performing the fair and impartial review of second level internal appeals. As such, Customer delegates to United
the discretionary authority to (i) construe and interpret the terms of the Plan, (ii) to determine the validity of charges
submitted to United under the Plan, and (iii) make final, binding determinations concerning the availability of Plan
benefits under the Plan's internal appeal process, all in compliance with applicable law and regulation. If United
denies a Plan benefit claim, in whole or in part, United will notify the claimant of the adverse benefit determination
and the claimant shall have the appeal rights set forth in the Summary Plan Description, and/or those which are
required under applicable law. If after the exhaustion of the two levels of internal appeal United determines that the
Plan benefit is still not payable, United will notify the claimant that the adverse benefit determination has been upheld.
This determination will be final and binding on the claimant, and all other interested parties except as otherwise
provided under the external review program described in below.
Appeals of Urgent Care Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Urgent Care Claims, United will
conduct one review of a denied Urgent Care Claim and issue a final determination as soon as possible, in accordance
with applicable law.
External Review Program. In order for Customer to meet its regulatory obligations with respect to claim appeals,
Customer shall provide an external review program to claimants.
With United's approval, Customer may utilize United"s external review program. In such case, the following shall
apply:
(1) A fee will apply beyond a limited number of free reviews based upon Customer's total enrollment.
(2) Customer acknowledges that the independent review organizations are not United subcontractors.
(3) United is not responsible for the decisions of the independent review organizations.
Section A6 System Access
Catastrophic Events*, During such time as a government agency declares a state of emergency or otherwise invokes
emergency procedures with respect to Participants who may be affected by severe weather or other catastrophic events
(a "Catastrophic Event Timeframe"), Customer directs United to implement certain changes in its claim procedures
for affected Participants, including, for example: (a) exemption from the application of prior authorization
requirements and/or penalties; (b) waiver of out -of -network restrictions (e.g., out -of -network providers paid at the
Network Provider level) , (c) extension of time frames for timely claims filing and/or appeals, (d) early replacement
of lost or damaged durable medical equipment, and (e) other protocols reasonably required to provide Participants
with access to health plan and pharmacy benefits as applicable. Such protocols are applicable to Participants whose
place of residency falls within impacted areas of the Catastrophic Event, and for dates of service that fall within the
Catastrophic Event Timeframe.
Access. United grants Customer the nonexclusive, nontransferable right to access and use the functionalities contained
within the Systems, under the terms specified in this Agreement., Customer agrees that all rights, title, and interest in
the Systems and all rights in patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets encompassed in the Systems will remain

to United, the hardware, software, and Internet browser requirements United provides to Customer, including any
amendments thereto. Customer will be responsible for obtaining an Internet Service Provider or other access to the
Internet. Customer will not (i) access Systems or use, copy, reproduce, modify, or excerpt any Systems documentation
provided by United in order to access or utilize Systems, for purposes other than as expressly permitted under this
Agreement or (ii) share, transfer or lease Customer's right to access and use Systems, to any other person or entity
which is not a party to this Agreement. Customer may designate any third party, with prior approval from United, to
access Systems on Customer's behalf, provided the third party agrees to these terms and conditions of Systems access
and Customer assumes joint responsibility for such access.
Security Procedures. Customer will use commercially reasonable physical and software -based measures to protect
the passwords and user IDs provided by United for access to and use of any web site provided in connection with the
services. Customer shall use commercially reasonable anti -virus software, intrusion detection and prevention system,
secure file transfer and connectivity protocols to protect any email and confidential communications provided to
United, and maintain appropriate logs and monitoring of system activity, Customer shall notify United within a
reasonable timeframe of any (a) unauthorized access or damage, including damage caused by computer viruses
resulting from direct access connection, and (b) misuse and/or unauthorized disclosure of passwords and user IDs
provided by United which impact the System.
Termination. United reserves the right to terminate Customer's System access (i) on the date Customer fails to accept
the hardware, software and browser requirements provided by United, including any amendments thereto or (ii)
immediately on the date United reasonably determines that Customer has (i) breached, or allowed a breach of, any
applicable provision of this Section or (ii) materially breached or allowed a material breach of, any other applicable
provision of this Agreement. Customer's System Access will also terminate upon termination of this Agreement,
provided however that if run -out is provided in accordance with Exhibit A - Statement of Work, Customer may
continue to access applicable functionalities within the Systems during the run -out period. Upon any of the
termination events described in this Agreement, Customer agrees to cease all use of Systems, and United will

United will make Network Pharmacies available to Customer Participants, through United's affiliate. United will
determine which pharmacies are Network Pharmacies. Network Pharmacies can change at any time,, United will make
a reasonable effort to provide Customer with advance notice if any material changes occur to the network. Upon
request, United will provide Customer information on the reimbursement rate to United's affiliated Network
Pharmacies.
Mail Order Pharmacy Services. United will provide, through its affiliate, mail order pharmacy services for
Customer's Participants. Customer's pricing terms for mail order pharmacy services are based on the actual package
dispensed and at least a 46mday supply. Prescriptions filled through the mail order pharmacy that are less than a 46-
day supply will be processed at retail pricing and will be counted with retail utilization.
Prescription Drug List (PDL). Customer has adopted one or more of United's PDLs for use with Customer's benefit

prior written approval, except to Participants as described below. On termination of this Agreement or if Customer
terminates the Pharmacy Benefit Services portion of this Agreement, Customer will stop all use of the PDL. .
While Customer is the ultimate decision -maker on selecting the design of Customer's PDL(s), Customer has requested
that United supply and assist Customer with, certain PDL development and management functions including but not
limited to drug tiering decisions. United's intent is to provide Customer with the same PDL and management strategies
that United develops and employs in the management of United's fully insured business.
United makes the final classification of an FDA -approved Prescription Drug product to a certain tier of the PDL by
considering a number of factors including, but not limited to, clinical and economic factors. Clinical factors may
include, but are not limited to, evaluations of the place in therapy, relative safety or relative efficacy of the Prescription

the Agreement once each calendar year. Prior to the commencement of this audit, United must receive a signed, a
mutually agreeable confidentiality agreement.
Customer must advise United in writing of its intent to audit. The place, time, type, duration, and frequency of all
audits must be reasonable and agreed to by United. No audits may be initiated or conducted during the months of
December and January due to the demands of annual renewals and the implementation period. All audits will be
limited to information relating to the calendar year in which the audit is conducted, and/or the immediately preceding
calendar year. The audit scope and methodology will be consistent with generally acceptable auditing standards,
including a statistically valid random sample as approved by United. United will not support any external audits a)
where the audit firm is paid on a contingency basis, or b) that do not use a statistically valid random selection
methodology; this includes electronic/data mining audits that are used for purposes of recovery discovery.
Customer will pay any expenses that it or its Auditor incurs in connection with the audit. In addition to Customer's
expenses and any applicable fees, Customer will also pay any extraordinary expenses United incurs due to a customer
request related to the audit, such fees to be reviewed and approved by the Customer in advance. For any audit initiated
after this Agreement is terminated or for any audit in addition to those provided for in this Section (if approved by
United), Customer will pay all expenses incurred by United.
United will provide Auditor with access to prescription claims data, subject to the provisions of the confidentiality
agreement. Additional documentation (e.g. policies and procedures) requested during the course of an audit, other
than that needed to determine the accuracy of pharmacy claims payments, may be provided at United's reasonable
discretion. After reviewing the claims for the audit period, Auditor may provide a sample size of claims, not to exceed
300 prescription claims per audit, for United to perform additional research.
A final audit report shall be provided by Customer or Auditor in writing to United forty-five (45) days after the end
of the audit. Such final audit report will contain a representative sample of prescription claims or the entire suspected
error population, as well as the dollar amount associated with any suspected errors. If the entire suspected error
population is provided, then United will review a statistically valid sample of the prescription claims and provide
Customer or Auditor with its response within forty-five (45) days of United's receipt of the final audit report. Customer
or its Auditor shall have thirty (30) calendar days to reply to United's response. If Customer or its Auditor fail to
provide either the initial final audit report or fail to reply to United's audit response within the timeframes provided,
then the audit will be considered closed. Any payment made, whether by United or Customer, based upon audit
findings will be made within thirty (30) days following Customer and United agreeing to the audit results and payment
of any amounts due as reflected in an executed audit settlement agreement.
Without limiting the foregoing, with respect to audits regarding the payment of Rebates by pharmaceutical
manufacturers, the audit must be conducted solely by a "big four" public accounting firm that maintains a separate
and stand-alone audit department and is not providing support in conjunction with any litigation pending against
United or United's affiliates. However, if no "big four" public accounting firm is qualified to perform the audit due
to the above requirements, another mutually agreeable firm meeting such requirements may be used. Rebate audits
are to be conducted separate from claims audits, must be conducted on site at United, and are limited to five (5) Rebate
agreements.

Section A8 Pharmacy Benefit Rebates
Allocation and Payment of Rebates. United will negotiate with drug manufacturers for the payment of Rebates to
United. The amount of Rebates that is available depends on many factors, including whether Customer has an incentive
benefit design, arrangements with drug manufacturers, the volume of Prescription Drug claims and the structure of
the PDL. United has agreed to pay Customer a fixed Rebate amount as outlined in Exhibit C — Performance Standards
for Health Benefits.
If a government action or a major change in pharmaceutical industry practices eliminates or materially reduces
manufacturer Rebate programs, Customer's payment amount may be reduced or eliminated. In such event, United
shall promptly notify Customer and revise or eliminate such payment effective with the date of the reduction or
elimination in Rebate payments. In addition, reduction or elimination of Rebates in this event shall constitute a change
in the Agreement as described in the Fees Section such that United has the right to propose a change to the fees as
provided for in the Fees Section or increase the percentage of Rebate dollars retained by United.
United will make payments of Customer Rebates to Customer on a quarterly basis, and Customer will receive
payments within 120 days after the end of the quarter. If United is not able to make payment to Customer within 120
calendar days after the end of the quarter, United will pay Customer interest on such Rebates, starting on the 121 st
calendar day going forward until United makes payment to Customer, calculated at the one month London Interbank
Offered Rate (LIBOR) in effect on the first business day of each applicable month. United may receive and retain
interest on those Rebates until United makes payment to Customer.
Payments to Pharmacies. In connection with Prescription Drug claims, there may be a timing difference between
when United withdraw funds from Customer claims account and when United issues payments to pharmacies and
other payees. United may retain interest earned on these amounts during this time. Interest is expected to be paid at
overnight deposit rates by United's banking institution.
Customer Compliance. Customer agrees that during the term of this Agreement, neither Customer nor the Plan will
negotiate or arrange or contract in any way for Rebates on or the purchase of Prescription Drug products from any
manufacturer with respect to the pharmacy benefits. If Customer or the Plan does, United may, without limiting
United's right to other remedies, immediately terminate Customer and Plan's entitlement to Rebates (including
forfeiture of any Rebates earned but not paid) and/or terminate the pharmacy benefit services. Termination of
pharmacy benefit services shall constitute a change in the Agreement as described in the Fees Section such that United
has the right to increase the fees for medical management services under this Agreement. In addition, Customer agrees
to reasonably cooperate with United in order to obtain Rebates. Customer will encourage Customer Participants to
use a Network Pharmacy. Customer will also encourage Customer Participants to electronically access the PDL on
United's website, and encourage Participants to share the PDL with their physicians or refer their physicians to the
PDL on United's website.
Coordination of Pharmacy Benefits with Medicare Part D. If elected by Customer, Customer delegates the
discretion and authority to United to develop and use policies and procedures to coordinate claims for retiree pharmacy
benefits claims with Customer Part D Prescription Drug plan in accordance with Customer Plan design and applicable
law.

EXHIBIT C - PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR HEALTH BENEFITS
The Standard Medical Service Fees (excluding Optional and Non -Standard Fees and that portion of the Standard
Medical Service Fees attributable to Commission Funds, if applicable, as described in Exhibit B — Fees), (hereinafter
referred to as "Fees" in this Exhibit) payable by Customer under this Agreement will be adjusted through a credit to
its fees in accordance with the performance guarantees set forth below unless otherwise defined in the guarantee.
Unless otherwise specified, these guarantees apply to medical benefits and are effective for the period January 1, 2022
through December 31, 2024 (each twelve-month period is a "Guarantee Period"). With respect to the aspects of
United's performance addressed in this exhibit, these fee adjustments are Customer's exclusive financial remedies.
These guarantees will become effective upon the later of (1) the effective date of the Guarantee Period, or (2) the date
this Agreement is signed by both parties. In the event these guarantees become effective later than the effective date
of the Guarantee Period: (1) quarterly guarantees will become effective beginning with the next calendar quarter
following signature of this Agreement by both parties; and (2) annual guarantees will become effective commencing
with the Term of the Agreement during which this Agreement is signed by both parties.
United shall not be required to meet any of the guarantees provided for in this Agreement or amendments thereto to
the extent United's failure is due to Customer's actions or inactions or if United fails to meet these standards due to
fire, embargo, strike, war, accident, act of God, acts of terrorism or United's required compliance with any law,
regulation, or governmental agency mandate or anything beyond United's reasonable control.
Prior to the end of the Guarantee Period, and on the condition that this Agreement remains in force, United may specify
to Customer in writing new performance guarantees for the subsequent Guarantee Period. If United specifies new
performance guarantees, United will also provide Customer with a new Exhibit that will replace this Exhibit for that
subsequent Guarantee Period.
Claim is defined as an initial and complete written request for payment of a Plan benefit made by an enrollee,
physician, or other healthcare provider on an accepted format. Unless stated otherwise, the claims are limited to
medical claims processed through the UNET claims systems. Claims processed and products administered through
any other system, including claims for other products such as vision, dental, flexible spending accounts, health
reimbursement accounts, health savings accounts, or pharmacy coverage, are not included in the calculation of the
performance measurements. Also, services provided under capitated arrangements are not processed as a typical
claim, therefore capitated payments are not included in the performance measurements.

guarantees outlined below will also nullify that guarantee.
