Audit Committee

The Audit Committee of the Board currently is comprised of three directors selected by our Board. The current members of the Audit Committee are Thomas B. Johnson (Chairman), Paul F. LeFort and Jerry P. Widman. The Board has determined that
Thomas B. Johnson is an audit committee financial expert as such term is defined in rules of the SEC, and that each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate as defined in the Nasdaq Listing Standards. Each member of the
Audit Committee also is independent as independence for audit committee members is defined in the Nasdaq Listing Standards.

The Audit Committee acts pursuant to the written Audit Committee Charter approved by the Board of Directors. The current Audit Committee Charter is available on the Corporate Governance section of the TriZetto website. Our website address
is www.trizetto.com. Pursuant to its charter, the Audit Committee is authorized to handle all matters that it deems appropriate regarding our independent registered public accountants and to otherwise communicate and act upon matters relating to the
review and audit of our books and records, including the scope of the annual audit and the accounting methods and systems to be utilized by us.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, requires our directors and executive officers, and certain persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the SEC). These reports are commonly referred to as Form 3, Form 4 and Form 5 reports. Such directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders are required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely upon our review of the copies of Forms 3, 4 and 5 furnished to us, or written representations that no annual Form 5 reports
were required, we believe that all forms required under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act applicable to our directors, executive officers and any persons holding 10% or more of our common stock were timely filed with respect to our fiscal year
ended December 31, 2005.

Code of Ethics

Our Board of Directors is committed to effective corporate governance practices. We have adopted the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the Code of Ethics), which summarizes the basic principles and
standards of conduct to guide all of our directors, officers and employees in our goal to achieve the highest business and personal ethical standards, as well as compliance with the laws and regulations that apply to our business. In October 2003,
the Board adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines (the Guidelines) in an effort to continue to enhance and promote corporate governance and to promote the effective functioning and performance of the Board of Directors and its
committees. All of the corporate governance documents, including the Code of Ethics, Guidelines and committee charters, are available on the Corporate Governance section of the Companys website. Our website address is www.trizetto.com.

The Guidelines address a number of important issues such as:



| |  |  | Selection process and qualifications for Board membership;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Board composition, structure, operation and compensation;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Biennial performance reviews for the Board and each committee;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Management succession planning;
| | - |  | -------------------------------



| |  |  | Committee composition; and
| | - |  | --------------------------



| |  |  | Annual performance reviews for the Chief Executive Officer.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------

Our Board of Directors and management have reviewed the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the related rules of the SEC, and Nasdaq Listing Standards regarding corporate governance policies and procedures. We believe that our
Corporate Governance Guidelines and committee charters meet current requirements and reflect high standards of corporate governance.

valued on the basis of the aggregate incremental cost to the Company, is less than the lower of $50,000 or 10% of such officers annual salary and bonus.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(2) | Amounts under the column titled All Other Compensation represent the Companys matching contributions under The TriZetto Group, Inc. 401(k) Plan and, with respect to Messrs.
Margolis and Bellomo for the 2005 fiscal year, also include (i) the Companys matching contributions under the Company DCP of $18,300 for Mr. Margolis and $7,512 for Mr. Bellomo and (ii) above-market earnings on deferred
compensation under the Company DCP as reportable under SEC rules of $474 for Mr. Margolis and $403 for Mr. Bellomo. Total earnings for Messrs. Margolis and Bellomo for the 2005 fiscal year on deferred compensation under the Company DCP
were $865 and $557, respectively.

|(3) | On June 14, 2004, Mr. Margolis was granted a restricted stock award of 75,000 shares under our Long-Term Incentive Plan (the LTIP). The value is based upon the
closing price of $6.39 of the Companys common stock on June 14, 2004. The year-end 2005 value of these shares was $1,274,250, based upon a closing price of $16.99 on December 30, 2005. One-half of these shares of restricted stock
vested on June 14, 2005 and one-half will vest on June 14, 2006, if Mr. Margolis is performing continued service for TriZetto or any of its subsidiaries on such date. If we pay dividends on our common stock, Mr. Margolis will be
entitled to receive corresponding dividends on his shares of restricted stock.

|(4) | Represents the value of Mr. Margolis personal use of the Companys fractional interest in an aircraft operated and maintained in a program managed by NetJets.
Mr. Margolis employment agreement provides him with annual perquisites at Company expense valued at up to $50,000. Such perquisites may include use of the Companys owned or leased assets for the purpose of personal transportation.
The value reported above for 2005 was determined by multiplying the number of hours that Mr. Margolis used the aircraft in 2005 for personal travel by the hourly and other incremental fees charged by NetJets for such usage. The value does not
include (i) any portion of the management fee, which is charged by NetJets regardless of usage, (ii) any depreciation expense related to the aircraft or (iii) an estimate of the cost to the Company of any disallowance of tax
deductions attributable to Mr. Margolis personal use of the aircraft. None of the other executive officers have used the Companys aircraft for personal travel.

The figures above represent options granted pursuant to our LTIP. We granted options to purchase a
total of 2,213,500 shares of common stock during 2005. All of the option grants to our Named Executive Officers were granted for ten-year terms at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of TriZettos common stock on the date of grant.
The options to the Named Executive Officers vest in 25% increments on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant, with the exception of the grant to Mr. Margolis, which vests in 33 1/3% increments on each of the first three
anniversaries of the date of grant.

The potential realizable value represents amounts that, net of exercise price before taxes, may be
realized upon exercise of the options immediately prior to the expiration of their terms assuming appreciation of 5% and

10%, compounded annually, over the option term. The 5% and 10% are calculated based on rules promulgated by the SEC and do not reflect our estimate of future
stock price growth. The actual value realized may be greater or less than the potential realizable value set forth in the table.

Option Exercises

The following table sets forth the values for all options held by our Named Executive Officers at December 31, 2005. The values
for in the money options represent the positive spread between the exercise prices of existing stock options and the closing price of our common stock on December 30, 2005, the last trading day of 2005 ($16.99 per share).

Employment and Change of Control Agreements

We have an employment contract with our Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey H. Margolis. We do not have employment contracts with any of our other Named
Executive Officers.

Mr. Margolis most recent employment agreement became effective on January 2, 2005. Under the
agreement, Mr. Margolis was entitled to an initial annual base salary of $520,000, which was later raised to $546,021 effective January 1, 2006. Mr. Margolis received a one-time payment of $50,000 upon signing the employment
agreement. As an incentive to stay with the Company, Mr. Margolis received a retention incentive payment of $44,228 on January 1, 2006 and will receive two additional retention incentive payments in the amount of $44,228 on each of
January 1, 2007 and 2008, so long as he is an active employee on such date. Under the agreement, Mr. Margolis is eligible for annual bonus compensation in an amount to be determined by the Companys Compensation Committee. The
agreement provides that, if all of the Companys and Mr. Margolis individual performance objectives are met, the bonus will be equal to Mr. Margolis annual base salary for the year for which the bonus is paid. Any bonus
awarded may be greater or less than Mr. Margolis annual base salary, depending on whether the Companys and Mr. Margolis performance exceeds or falls short of the established objectives. Mr. Margolis employment
agreement also provides him with annual perquisites at Company expense valued at up to $50,000. Such perquisites may include use of the Companys owned or leased assets for the purpose of personal transportation.

TriZetto pays or reimburses Mr. Margolis for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses he incurs in the performance of his duties.
Mr. Margolis is entitled to participate in all of the Companys employee benefit plans and programs to the same extent generally available to the Companys executives, with the exception of the Companys Employee Stock Purchase
Plan (ESPP). As a greater than 5% owner of the Companys outstanding common stock, Mr. Margolis is ineligible to participate in the ESPP. The employment agreement may be terminated by either the Company or Mr. Margolis
without cause by providing ninety (90) days written notice of such termination. If Mr. Margolis is terminated without cause or if he voluntarily terminates for good reason, he would be entitled to continue to receive his then current
annual base salary, medical and dental coverage for two years following termination, and payment in full of any unpaid retention payments. If Mr. Margolis employment

is terminated due to death or disability, he would be entitled to a severance payment in the amount of one-half of his then current annual base salary.

We have entered into Change of Control Agreements with certain of our officers, including each of the Named Executive Officers. These
agreements provide for severance and other benefits if, following a Change of Control of TriZetto, the executives employment terminates in a way adverse to the executive. If the executives employment ends within one to three years
following a Change of Control (term varies among executives) either because we terminate the executive without cause or because the executive resigns under circumstances constituting good reason, the executive will be entitled to:



| |  |  | bi-weekly salary through the end of the employment period;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | medical, dental and life insurance coverage through the end of the employment period;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | outplacement services consistent with our outplacement policy, if any;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | payment on the last day of the employment period in an amount equal to the sum of the additional contributions that would have been allocated to the executives 401(k) account,
if any, if the executive had remained employed through the end of the employment period;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | payment within 30 days of the date of termination of all accrued vacation, holiday and personal leave days as of the date of termination;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | payment of any unpaid incentive compensation the executive earned through the date of termination in accordance with the terms of any applicable incentive compensation plan; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | acceleration of unvested options held by executives with Change of Control Agreements, unless such acceleration would trigger the golden parachute excise tax
imposed by the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. In such case, the options will continue to vest as if the executive officer remained employed by us.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Change of Control is defined in the agreement to occur if (a) a person becomes the beneficial owner of 50% or more of the combined voting power of our securities, (b) a majority of the Board
changes without the specified approval of incumbent directors, (c) we merge with another entity in a way that substantially changes the ownership of existing stockholders, or (d) our stockholders approve a complete liquidation or
dissolution. Change of Control is also deemed to have occurred if an executives employment with us is terminated prior to the Change of Control and it is demonstrated that (a) such termination was at the request of a third
party who has taken steps to effectuate the Change of Control or (b) such termination arose in connection with or anticipation of the Change of Control.

Compensation of Directors

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the Governance Committee) annually
reviews and evaluates the adequacy of Director compensation and benefits, and recommends changes, if any, to the Board of Directors for approval. During 2005, each of our non-employee directors received an annual retainer of $35,000, paid quarterly,
for serving on the Board. In 2006, the annual retainer was increased to $40,000, paid quarterly. Our Lead Director receives an additional retainer of $10,000, also paid quarterly. Committee members also receive annual retainers. Retainers for the
Committees members are as follows: Audit Committee Chair$25,000; Compensation Committee or Governance Committee Chair$15,000; Audit Committee Member (Non-Chair)$15,000; Compensation or Governance Committee Member
(Non-Chair)$10,000. Retainers for Committee service are paid quarterly.

Each of our directors is eligible to receive stock option
grants under our LTIP. During 2005, each of our non-employee directors received an option to purchase 7,500 shares of our common stock, with the exception of Mr. LeFort, who, as our Lead Director, received an option to purchase 10,000 shares of
our common stock. The options vest in 25% increments on each of the four annual anniversaries of the date of grant. On March 6, 2006,

each of our non-employee directors received an option to purchase 10,000 shares of our common stock, with the exception of Mr. LeFort, who received an
option to purchase 12,500 shares. The options vest in 50% increments on each of the first and second annual anniversaries of the date of grant.

Report
of the Compensation Committee

This report of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors reviews our compensation programs for
executive officers. The Committee members are independent directors and not officers or employees of TriZetto. We have access to independent experts, experienced in the design and implementation of executive compensation arrangements, for advice on
compensation matters. Currently, the Committee reviews and approves the cash and equity components of the compensation programs for all executive officers, as well as change of control and other benefits. The Committee has responsibility for the
determination of the Chief Executive Officers compensation including, without limitation, salary, bonuses, stock options, restricted stock, and other equity-based awards. Determination of the CEOs compensation is based on the
Committees evaluation of the CEOs performance and such other non-performance related matters as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate.

Compensation Policies and Objectives

TriZettos executive compensation policy is
designed to attract and retain exceptional executives by offering compensation for superior performance that is highly competitive with other well-managed organizations. The Compensation Committee measures executive performance on an individual and
corporate basis. There are three components to TriZettos executive compensation program, and each is consistent with the stated philosophy as follows:

Base Salary. Base salaries for executives and other key employees are determined by individual financial and non-financial performance, position in salary range and general economic conditions of TriZetto. For
purposes of administering base pay, all executive positions are evaluated and placed in appropriate salary grades. Salary range midpoint levels are reviewed on an annual basis to ensure competitiveness with a peer group of comparable companies. In
recommending salaries for executive officers, the Compensation Committee (i) reviews the historical performance of the executives and (ii) formally reviews specific information provided by TriZettos consultants, as necessary, with
respect to the competitiveness of salaries paid to TriZettos executives.

Annual Bonus. Annual bonuses for executives and
other key employees are tied directly to TriZettos financial performance as well as to individual performance. Annual cash bonuses are designed to reward executives for achievements of corporate, financial and operational goals and are
intended to reward the achievement of outstanding performance. When certain objective and subjective performance goals are not met, annual bonuses would be reduced or not paid. The bonuses paid in March 2006 for fiscal year 2005 were based upon
TriZettos financial performance and each individuals performance during 2005.

Long-Term Incentives. The purpose of
these plans is to create an opportunity for executives and other key employees to share in the enhancement of stockholder value through the grant of stock options and restricted stock. The overall goal of this component of pay is to create a strong
link between TriZettos management and TriZettos stockholders through stock ownership by management and the achievement of specific corporate financial measures that result in the appreciation of TriZettos share price. The
Compensation Committee generally has followed the practice of granting options on terms that provide that the options become exercisable in cumulative annual installments over a four-year period. The Compensation Committee believes that this feature
not only provides an employee retention factor but also makes longer-term growth in share prices important for those receiving options. The Compensation Committee also has granted options that are subject to 7-year cliff vesting but may become
exercisable earlier in the event the Companys stock is trading above certain levels. The Compensation Committee has approved restricted stock awards to newly hired executives as an inducement for them to join TriZettos management team
and to senior management and other key employees to encourage their continued service.

CEO Compensation

As noted above, Mr. Margolis annual base salary was increased from $520,000 to $546,021 effective January 1, 2006. This increase was
intended in part to make his total compensation competitive with that of his peers at competing companies. The Compensation Committee reviewed comparable compensation data to help it make this determination. In addition to its review of this
information, the Compensation Committee took into consideration Mr. Margolis importance to the Company and his ability to help the Company achieve its strategic vision.

The Compensation Committee awarded Mr. Margolis a cash bonus of $539,000 for his services in 2005. As noted above, Mr. Margolis also received
in 2005 a one-time payment of $50,000 upon signing of his employment agreement. Mr. Margolis annual cash bonus potential has been targeted by the Compensation Committee at 100% of his annual base salary. Any bonus awarded may be greater
or less than Mr. Margolis annual base salary, depending on whether the Companys and Mr. Margolis performance exceeds or falls short of established objectives. The actual amount paid to Mr. Margolis is based on the
Compensation Committees evaluation of a number of factors, including Mr. Margolis achievement of pre-determined financial, customer satisfaction, operational, organizational and strategic performance targets. Fifty-percent of
Mr. Margolis bonus for 2005 was attributable to the Companys achievement of revenue, earnings per share and cash financial targets. Another ten-percent was based on Mr. Margolis achievement of targets related to his
interaction with the investment community and key customers. Another fifteen-percent was related to the results of certain operational objectives, including the transition of certain responsibilities to the newly hired President and Chief Operating
Officer. Another ten-percent was related to his achievement of certain organizational goals, including those related to the effectiveness of the senior management team, the communication of the Companys vision to employees and the introduction
of innovative benefit plans. The remaining fifteen-percent of Mr. Margolis bonus was based on his performance on a number of strategic objectives.

During 2005, Mr. Margolis also received a stock option to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock under the LTIP.

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code

Under Section 162(m) of the Internal
Revenue Code, compensation payments in excess of $1 million to any Named Executive Officer for a taxable year are subject to a limitation of $1 million on the amount we may deduct for tax purposes as an ordinary business expense. Certain
performance-based compensation is not subject to the limitation on deductibility. Option grants and other performance based grants under our LTIP will not be subject to the deduction limitation.

The Compensation Committee believes that any application of Section 162(m) to limit deductibility of executive compensation is unlikely to have a
material effect on our financial condition or results of operations as a result of the Companys net operating loss carry-forwards.

Item 14Principal Accountant Fees and Services

Independent Registered Public Accountants

Fees

The accounting firm of Ernst & Young LLP (E&Y) served as TriZettos independent registered public
accountants for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. In addition to rendering audit services during 2005 and 2004, E&Y performed various audit-related and tax services for the Company. The Audit Committee has concluded that the
provision of these services by E&Y is compatible with maintaining its independence.

Audit Fees.Audit fees of E&Y during
the 2005 and 2004 fiscal years were associated with the annual audit of our consolidated financial statements, reviews of our quarterly reports filed with the SEC, the audit of the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial
reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and fees related to other regulatory filings. Audit fees for 2005 and 2004 were approximately $1,344,000 and $1,383,000 respectively.

Audit-Related Fees.Audit-related fees of E&Y during the 2005 and 2004 fiscal years were associated with due diligence in connection with
acquisitions, accounting consultation and advice, and audits of our employee benefit plan financial statements. Audit-related fees for 2005 and 2004 were approximately $367,000 and $109,000 respectively.

Tax Fees.E&Ys fees for tax preparation, planning, advisory and compliance services in 2005 and 2004 were approximately $0 and $79,000,
respectively.

All Other Fees.We incurred no other fees for other professional services in 2005 or 2004.

Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy

In May 2003, the Companys Audit Committee adopted The TriZetto Group, Inc. Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (the Pre-Approval Policy). The Pre-Approval Policy provides that
TriZettos Audit Committee will pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accountants, either through specific approval of the Audit Committee or pursuant to pre-approved policies and
procedures established by the Audit Committee. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services performed by our independent registered public accountants. The Audit Committee requires the
independent auditors and management to report on the actual fees charged for each category of service at regularly scheduled Audit Committee meetings throughout the year.

The Pre-Approval Policy provides that the engagement terms and fees of the annual audit must be specifically approved by the Audit Committee. The Pre-Approval Policy also pre-approves certain audit-related services,
provided that the total fees for each such service do not exceed the limit specified by the Audit Committee. The Pre-Approval Policy allows the Chairman of the Audit Committee to increase any of these limits related to any one project by up to
$50,000. The Audit Committee Chairman must report on any such increase at the next Audit Committee meeting.

Since the adoption of the
Pre-Approval Policy in May 2003, all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent auditors have been pre-approved.
