EXHIBIT 10.39 
 
RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT 
 
THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made this
             day of              by and among The TriZetto Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), and              (the “Grantee”). 
 
RECITALS 
 
A. WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant shares of its common stock to Grantee to encourage the continued service of Grantee as an
employee of the Company, which service is of benefit to the Company; 
 
B. WHEREAS, the Company desires to impose certain restrictions on the shares of common stock granted hereunder for the benefit of the Company; and 
 
C. WHEREAS, such grant is being made to Grantee in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other form of
compensation otherwise payable or to be paid to Grantee. 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 
1. Grant of Shares. The Company
hereby grants and delivers to Grantee              shares of its common stock (the “Shares”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. 
 
2. Vesting of Shares. 
 
2.1 The Shares granted hereunder shall vest and become
“Vested Shares” in              equal annual installments commencing on the first anniversary date of this Agreement. Shares which have not yet become vested are herein
called “Unvested Shares.” No additional Shares shall vest after the date of termination (“Termination Date”) of Grantee’s “Continuous Service” (as defined below). 
 
2.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, all of the Shares
shall become fully vested immediately prior to the consummation of a Change in Control (as defined in Section 10 below), unless prior to a Change in Control the Company’s Board of Directors determines that, upon its occurrence, the vesting of
the Shares will not accelerate or determines that only the vesting of certain Shares will be accelerated and/or establishes a different time in respect of such Change in Control for such acceleration. 
 
2.3 As used herein, the term “Continuous
Service” means so long as Grantee is an employee of the Company. Unless otherwise determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, a leave of absence (regardless of the reason therefor) shall be deemed to constitute the cessation of
Continuous Service as of the commencement date of the leave. 
 
2.4 In the event Grantee’s Continuous Service terminates due to death or Total Disability (as defined herein), the Shares shall vest and become Vested Shares on the Termination Date to the extent such Shares would have
vested in the 90-day period following the Termination Date. “Total Disability” means a “total and permanent disability” within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”). 
 
3. Deposit of
Certificates. Grantee shall deposit with the Company all certificates evidencing the Shares together with a properly endorsed stock power assignment. Upon written 







 
request from Grantee, the
Company shall reissue and deliver to Grantee a new certificate evidencing the Vested Shares, and shall reissue a certificate evidencing the Unvested Shares as of the date thereof, which Grantee shall deposit with the Company, together with a new
properly endorsed stock power assignment. 
 
4.
Cancellation of Unvested Shares upon Termination. In the event of termination of Grantee’s Continuous Service, all Unvested Shares as of the Termination Date shall be immediately cancelled and become null and void. The Company shall
cancel the certificates then deposited with the Company evidencing the Unvested Shares and reissue a new certificate to Grantee evidencing only the Vested Shares, if any, as of the Termination Date. 
 
5. Restriction on Transfer. The Unvested Shares
shall not be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, shall not be assigned or transferred, directly or indirectly, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process, and any attempted sale or
other disposition shall be null and void. 
 
6.
Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to Grantee as follows: 
 
6.1 Authorization. All corporate action on the part of the Company, its officers and directors necessary for the
authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder and the authorization, issuance (or reservation for issuance) and delivery of the Shares being granted hereunder has been taken or
will be taken prior to the execution of this Agreement, and this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, which is enforceable in accordance with its terms. 
 
6.2 Valid Issuance of Shares. The Shares which
are being granted hereunder, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms hereof for the consideration expressed herein, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable (except as set forth herein) and, based in part
upon the representations of Grantee in this Agreement, will be issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. 
 
7. Representations and Warranties of Grantee. Grantee represents and warrants to the Company as follows: 
 
7.1 Grantee understands that the Shares will be issued
by the Company without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”) and without qualification or registration under applicable state securities laws (“Blue Sky Laws”) pursuant to exemptions from registration
or qualification contained in the Securities Act and in the Blue Sky Laws. Grantee understands that the Shares must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered or qualified under the Securities Act and under the Blue Sky Laws or unless
exemptions from the registration or qualification requirements under the Securities Act and under the Blue Sky Laws are available in connection with any proposed transfer of the Shares by Grantee. 
 
7.2 Grantee is acquiring the Shares solely for
Grantee’s own account for investment and not with a view to or for sale or distribution of the Shares or any portion thereof and not with any present intention of selling, offering to sell or otherwise disposing of or distributing the Shares or
any portion thereof. Grantee also represents that the entire legal and beneficial interest of the Shares is being acquired for, and will be held for the account of, Grantee only and neither in whole nor in part for any other person. 
 
7.3 Grantee is sophisticated in financial matters and
is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Shares. 
 

2 








 
7.4
Grantee has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the Shares and has had full access to such other information concerning the Company as Grantee has requested. 
 
7.5 Grantee agrees that none of the Shares, nor any
interest in the Shares, will be resold or otherwise transferred by Grantee without registration or qualification under the Securities Act and the Blue Sky Laws unless Grantee first demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Company that specific
exemptions from such registration or qualification requirements are available with respect to the proposed transfer and provides the Company an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that the proposed transfer may be made without violation
of the Securities Act or the Blue Sky Laws and will not affect the exemptions relied upon by the Company in connection with the original issuance of the Shares. 
 
7.6 Grantee acknowledges that the certificates representing the Shares shall bear the following
restrictive legends: 
 
THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED
HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE 1933 ACT COVERING SUCH SECURITIES OR IF
TRIZETTO RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR GRANTEE OF THESE SECURITIES REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO TRIZETTO, STATING THAT SUCH SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR HYPOTHECATION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF THE
1933 ACT. 
 
ANY SALE, ASSIGNMENT, TRANSFER,
PLEDGE, OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS RESTRICTED BY, AND SUBJECT TO, THE TERMS OF A RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT DATED AS OF
            . A COPY OF SAID AGREEMENT IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THIS CORPORATION. 
 
7.7 Grantee understands that the Shares are restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act; that the exemption from registration under Rule 144 will not be available in any event for at least one year from the date of grant of the Shares to Grantee, and even then will not be available unless (i) a public trading market then exists for
the Shares of the Company, (ii) adequate current public information concerning the Company is then available to the public, (iii) Grantee has been the beneficial owner of the Shares at least one year prior to the sale, and (iv) other terms and
conditions of Rule 144 are complied with; and that any sale of the Shares may be made by it only in limited amounts in accordance with such terms and conditions, as amended from time to time. 
 
7.8 Grantee understands that counsel for the Company
may rely upon the foregoing for the purposes of rendering an opinion in connection with the issuance of the Shares. Grantee hereby agrees to indemnify the Company and its officers, directors, agents, and counsel and hold them harmless from and
against any and all damages suffered and liabilities incurred by them (including costs of investigation, defense, and attorneys’ fees) arising out of any breach by Grantee of the agreements or inaccuracy in the representations and warranties
which Grantee has made herein.

8.
Shares Free and Clear. All Shares relinquished to the Company, or its assignee(s), as the case may be, pursuant to this Agreement shall be delivered by Grantee free and clear of all claims, liens and encumbrances of every nature (except
the provisions of this Agreement and any conditions concerning the Shares relating to compliance with applicable federal or state securities laws), and the purchaser thereof shall acquire full and complete title and right to all of the shares, free
and clear of any claims, liens and encumbrances of every nature (again except for the provisions of this Agreement and such securities laws). 
 
9. Recapitalization. In the event that, as the result of a stock split or stock dividend or combination of shares or any
other change, or exchange for other securities, by reclassification, or recapitalization of the Shares, Grantee shall be entitled to new or additional or different shares of stock or securities, such new or additional or different shares of stock or
securities shall be deemed “Shares” for the purposes of this Agreement and shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof, and the certificate or certificates for, or other evidences of, such shares shall be imprinted with the
legend provided in Section 7.6 above. 
 
10.
Change in Control. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” means any of the following: 
 
(a) Approval by the stockholders of the Company of the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; 
 
(b) Approval by the stockholders of the
Company of an agreement to merge or consolidate, or otherwise reorganize, with or into one or more entities that are not Subsidiaries or other affiliates, as a result of which less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving or
resulting entity immediately after the reorganization are, or will be, owned, directly or indirectly, by stockholders of the Company immediately before such reorganization (assuming for purposes of such determination that there is no change in the
record ownership of the Company’s securities from the record date for such approval until such reorganization and that such record owners hold no securities of the other parties to such reorganization), but including in such determination any
securities of the other parties to such reorganization held by affiliates of the Company); 
 
(c) Approval by the stockholders of the Company of the sale of substantially all of the Company’s business and/or
assets to a person or entity that is not a Subsidiary or other affiliate; 
 
(d) Any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act but excluding any person described in and satisfying the conditions of Rule 13d-1(b)(1) thereunder),
other than a person that is a stockholder of the Company on the date hereof, becoming the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 50% of the
combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities entitled to then vote generally in the election of directors of the Company; or 
 
(e) During any period not longer than two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted
the Board cease to constitute at least a majority thereof, unless the election, or the nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders, of each new Board member was approved by a vote of at least three-fourths of the Board members then
still in office who were Board members at the beginning of such period (including for these purposes, new members whose election or nomination was so approved).

11.
No Agreement to Retain Status. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute or be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied, on the part of the Company to retain Grantee in his or her status as an
employee of the Company. 
 
12.
IRC Section 83(b) Election. Grantee acknowledges that he or she has consulted with a tax advisor and considered the advisability of all tax elections in connection with the grant of the Shares and the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, including the making of an election under Section 83(b) of the Code, and any similar elections under applicable federal or state law. Grantee acknowledges that he or she is solely responsible to make any such election and that the Company
has no responsibility to make any such election. If Grantee desires to make the election provided under Section 83(b) of the Code, Grantee must file such election with the Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days of the date of this
Agreement, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto and, if required, a comparable form of election with applicable state taxing authorities. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the total fair market value of the Shares as of

Grantee agrees that, if requested by the Company or the managing underwriter of any proposed public offering of the Company’s securities, Grantee will not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Shares held by Grantee without the prior
written consent of the Company or such underwriter, as the case may be, during such period of time, not to exceed 180 days following the effective date of the registration statement filed by the Company with respect to such offering, as the Company
or the underwriter may specify.

the provisions of this Agreement should, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement
shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. 
 
13.6 Amendments and Waivers. Any amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be effective only if evidenced by a
written instrument executed by duly authorized representatives of the parties hereto. Any party may waive its individual rights hereunder, either prospectively or retroactively, which shall be effective only if evidenced by a written instrument
executed by a duly authorized representative of such party. In no event shall such waiver of any rights hereunder constitute the waiver of such rights in any future instance unless the waiver so specifies in writing.
